Body Cut in Pieces.

This is an image of woman larger
than life size, hollow and having the
front half of the body formed by two
doors pierced with long iron spikes.
The victim was gagged by the masked
eXecutioners and thrust into this hol-
low image, the doors slowly shut
pressing the spikes into eyes and
breast. When dead n trap door be-
meath his feet dropped him into a
machine which cut the body into
small pieces and cast them into the
water of the moat.
1T does not seem possible that men
could ever have visited such torture
on their fellowmen; but history re-
cords that this instrument was used
at least five or six times. and no one
knows how many passed from the
embrace of the Iron maiden" to
oblivion.
But this is not all. In another
chamber may be seen thumbscrews,
racks, sword which has a record of
500 decapitations, ducking cage for
Inc bakers who made their loaves
short weight. an iron necklace for
court musicians who made bad
music, branding irons for liberated
prisoners who had completed their
sentence, and many more, together
with pictures of the way in which
they had been used. That was the
horrible thing about it; these had ae-
tually been used. Not all i'm this old
castle or city. but somewhere in this
fair land, and worst of all used in
the name of law and justice. and con-
science and Godi When we came out
it was with glad step, and an ex-
elamation of thanksgiving that we
lived in an age when such torture
chambers were thing of the past

DAY IN NUREMBERG
Or. Marquis Describes a Visit to
Quaint Old German
City.
IN THE CHAMBER OF HORRORS
Where Political Prisoners Were Tor
tured and Put to
Death.

Since leaving the Celtic at Naples
March 2Sth we have been in Rome,
Florence. Venice, Milan, Como. Luga-
no. Lucerne. Geneva, ChamoniX, Zu-
rich, Constance, Munich and here we
are at Nurnberg. but with our faces
turned toward Dresden tonight.
II seems Ike rapid work and is, but
not rapid as most of the Clark and
Cook personally conducted parties.
We are independent and start when
we are ready. This has been n very
cold wet day, much more like March
than May, with only about two hours
of sunshine. but we have been under
shelter nearly all day. First we visit
ed the house of the great painter.
Albert Durer. 1t is quaint high
gabled old house with picturesque
windows in the roof. Within are
heavy oaken timbers and panels and
e silirgS of wood dark with age. Much
of the furniture Durer used. and Il
large collection of pen and ink studies
from his hand are exhibited as well
as photographs of most of his works.
Durer living was an honor to his city,
and Durer dead is Il great source of
honor and profit. for thousands come
here drawn largely by his name and
work.
Historical Castle.
Nearby is the old castle which has
figured SO largely in the history of
the city both in peace and war. Ira
dition ascribes its foundation to Con-
rad / and history's record runs back
at least seven hundred years. 1t has
been favorite dwelling place of
German emperors and they are now
hitting up the royal apartments for
a visit of Emperor William and
Prince Leopold. In the court yard is
the trunk of lime tree which they
claim Queen Cunigunde planted 500
years ago. 1t died seven years ago,
but the dead trunk is carefully fenced
and roped TO preserve it. In one of
the court yards there is Il well cut in
the solid rock 800 feet deep. 1t has
good living water in it. Just above
the water little there is the open
ing of tunnel which connects with
the RathhauSe in another part OF the
city. 1t reminded us of similar well
i'm the castle of Cairo called Joseph's
well. But that was still more re-
marl<abie, for there was an inclined
pathway large enough for a horse
to travel oncircling the well almost
to the bottom. Both of the wells were
made to supply the castles with water
in time of seige. One tower called
The Pentagonal' Give cornered,)
tower has a horrible fascination be-
cause il was used for the imprison-
ment and torture of political pris-
oners. There they showed us a yerit-
able chamber of horrors" Deep
within the massive walls where little
light of day could come To look on
the awful deeds is a square room in
one corner of which is heavy iron
cage with an iron bed in il. In this
the condemned man was shut up
where he could look on the awful in
strument of torture which was to
put him to death. The last night he
was taken from this cage and put to
bed in an oalken frame which bound
the hands and feet immovable i'm a
most uncomfortable position. When
the morning of doom dawned he was
carried and thrust into the embrace
of the Iron maiden

BELIEVED THAT THEY WILL
 BE UNITED.
While President McDoel Denied the Report, He Admitted That It Would Be a Good
 Thing.

New York. May 7.-Notwithstanding de- nials that have been made that there is a movement on foot to combine the inter- ests of the Louisville and Nashville and the Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville Railroads, The Herald declares that from a source of high authority it has learned negotiations for the consolidation of these roads are pending and that definite statement of the detailed plan will be forthcoming at no distant date.
 President McDoel of the Monon, who denied on Monday that his road would be controlled by the Louisville and Nash vile, at the same time admitted that 1t would be for the mutual benefit of both roads if they were operated in harmony.
 Under such an arrangement the Louis- vile and Nashville have d direct inlet to Chicago and a new system with almost a direct line from Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico, would be established with about 5,7OO miles of track.

Attorney General Crow Bringing out
 Proof of @ Combine.

D. list. was shown by testimony taken at today's session of hte beef trust inquiry. Attorney General Crow said today that the objection raised by the packers attorneys at yesterday s session does not pertain to the validity of the antitrust law, but only to the law authorizing the inquiry.
 "The antitrust law has been tested twice in the Supreme Court and is un- assailable," said he.
 At the afternoon session there was ad- ditional testimony as to the combination of package. the giving of rebate and the fixing of uniform prices in St. Louis. Several of the witnesses told of the sale of condemned meats. some of which was made into sausage. T. z. Werts, Fris- co Railroad man at Monett, was the last witness. He grew up in the packing busi- ness under his father at Quincy. H.. and Up to a year ago was for several years manager of a branch house at Topeka. Kas. He told of the existenre of a com bine between the various packing com panies to fix the price of meats. and re- lated the incident in which he lost his position for selling lard at half a cent less per pound than the combine price.

 Gen. AIejandro Wosgil was appointed Minister of War at about that time.
 Intense excitement prevailed here among the population and in Government cir cles when the news of the approach of the revolutionary army became generally known.

 A messenger was then despatched to General Vasquez asking him to select the time and place for an interview with the delegation. The messenger returned with the reply that the revolutionary Gen eral had appointed the following morn ing for the interview. adding that in the meantime he would suspend all hostili- ties if the Government would agree to adopt the same course

MAsoN's END IN SIGHT.
Hopkins Will Probably Succeed Him as Senator from Illinois.


 as Senator from Illinois
 Springfield. Ill.,. May 1-Unless all signs fail. Congressman Hopkins will be en- dorsed for United States Senator by the Republican State Convention here tomor- row. Senator Mason. however. will not admit tonight that Hopkins has . ma jority of delegates. The managers of Mr. Dawes's candidacy seem confident tonight that there will be no endorsement of Hop lxins. a The exciting episode of today was the convention of Republican women to name a candidate for University Trustees to be recommended to the convention tomor- row. Mrs. Laura B. Evsns of Taylorvills defeated Mrs. Mary Turner Carriel of Jacksonville by Q vote of 2e5 to S9. Mrs. Evans Is accused of having packed the convention. One hundred W. c. T. IT. wo- men. headed by Mrs. c. Clinton Smith of Springfield. indignantly withdrew from the convention when Mrs. Sarah K. Har- wood of Decatur. chairman of the meet ing. ruled that only avowed Republican women had the right to participate. The friends of Mrs. Carriel charge repeat ing and other features of ward politics. and 1t is probable that the matter will bs carried into the State Convention tomor- row in an effort to have Mrs. Carriel nominated.

Citizens Side With It Against

Feared That Actual War will Ensue When the Rival Forces Meet at Head of Clear Fork
 Creek

Knoxville, Tenn, May 7.-This has been another lively day in the Jeliico district between the Louisville and Nashville and Southern Railroads in their fight for posi- ton along Clear Fork branch. The mountains along the Cumberland at the foot of which LaFolette is situated Is the best undeveloped coal fields in Ten nessee .and the present fight is to reach this field by the most available route. The Louisville and Nashville will build up Clear Fork, then up Hickory Creek and thence come to LaFolette down Big Creek. thence to Knoxville. The Louis. ville and Nashville is also building con nection to its line which runs out of PineviIle, Ky, to Chenoa, . distance of thirteen miles. All this will put the road in complete touch with this rich coal land.
 ing a line from Jellico up Clear Fork and on to Middlesboro, which will run con- tinuously through the coal fields. For nine miles out of Jeliico the two rail- roads parallel each other.
 L. & ". Has Upper Hand.
 Today's developments at Jellico indicate that the Louisville and Nashville has the upper hand. The situation Is intense and there is display of partisanship in favor of the Louisville and Nashville by the people.
 Chief Special Agent J. B. Harlan of Louisville arrived today with over 400 men .dispatchers. roadmasters. construc- tors.' overseers and workmen. They came in three trains .a total of thirty live cars. Special Agent Harlan put his force at work at noon constructing a roadbed from the Louisville and Nash viIle main line one mile north of Jellico toward "The Narrows" a point in the Cumberland mountains held by Louisville and Nashville forces.
 Judge H. B. Lindsay of Knoxville is reported to have had a narrow escape from death. Nante Teaguo had sold the right of way over his land to the South ern. When the Louisville and Nashville force marched on his land to cxcavate along its survey. Teasue leveled his gun at Lindsay. who was leading the Louis- vile and Nashville party. but the weapon was knocked up in time. Lindsay held his ground and the Louisville and Nash vile line went across the land.
 It Is feared that there will be actual war when the rival forces meet at the head of Cleak Fork Creek and Jellico has been filled with rumors of taouble all day. none of which can be confirmed.
