Indiana Grave Robbery Busfnes
 Laid Bare by Confession.


 Laid Bare by Confession.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct. 2o. Ghastly revelations have been brought to light by the Marion county grand jul rvs investigation into the remarkable organization of ghouls that has been operating for five years i'll cities of the state from Indianapolis to Muncie and Marion.
 As result of the evidence obtained through the confession of Rufus Can- trell, the chief ghoul, and the testimo- ny of a number of men now in Jail Deputy Prosecutor Benedict announces that warrants will be issued for several men of prominence besides those al- ready under arrest or out on bail charged with comn!icity in the revolt ing series of crimes that have shocked the entire middle west.
 Cantrell's confession was complete and yoluminous. It showed that for half a decade Indianapolis has been the central headquarters for organiza- tions of grave robbers that have watched the cemeteries of the territory in which they operated with hawk like scrutiny, keeping list of every interment.
 Medical and dental colleges all over the country, from New York to San Francisco, have been supplied with material for the dissecting knives of physicians and surgeons. Graves were despoiled in such numbers that it will probably never be known just how many bodies have been torn from their consecrated resting places.

Lfnn a Fly Catcher

The keeper of the carnivors house at the Philadelphia 700 led the group of visitors to the outdoor quarters of the lions. Look at that fellow lying over there" he said. Its in- teresting to watch him catching flies" !" The lion lay beside a little puddle that the rain of the night before had made. He dipped his paw into the sticky mud and then extefded the member and lay very quiet. The paw served as a fly trap. Flies lighted on it and stuck fast; buzz all they would they could not get away. And the lion, after a dozen or two were collected, calmly crushed them and prepared his paw again. He does that every day." the keeper said.-- Philadelphia Record.

CoLLIDED WITH TROLLEY GAR.
lgers Had a Close Call at West
 Main Street Crossing.

Passengers Had Close Call at West
 Main Street Crossing. The Winsted express which leaves here at 9 o'clock D. m. collided with trolley car at the West Main street crossing Saturday night, but owing to the clever work of the man at the throttle nothing very serious happened although for time people who flock ed to the scene expected to witness a shocking catastrophe. The trolley car reached the crossing at the Manhan canal just as the railroad ticed the headlight of the trolley ear in front of him and reversed his brakes, but lie was not able to stop on time to prevent a collision. The trolley car was tossed against a large telegraph pole that. stands on the west side of the street with sufficient force to make those on the inside realize that they were in a collision There were about twenty persons aboard and while all were badly shaken up and suffered from shock. still no one was seriously hurt. Miss Teresa Darling of West Side Hill became hysterical, but after she saw that nobody was
  mai condition. Miss Nolan of Oak vile had one of her legs hurt, but not badly enough to prevent her from go- ing home. The front platform of the trolley and one of the wheels were smashed and how the motorman es- capped with his life is q mystery If the train had been travelling a little faster the car would have been wreck ed and some lives lest. The engine was slowing up when the crash came, but even SO, it is thought that tlle troll | ley would have been tossed into the Manhan canal had it not been for the pole that stood in the way. If this had l happened. everyone on board would have been drowned Superintendent l Wales said .to-day that nobody was I injured so as to need medical attend ance. He also stated that the motor man had been working for the com pany on and off for nearly year He l is an extra hand and is employed in one of the factories when not on the l trolley.

.RACE RIOT IN ALABAMA.
Negroes and Whites Have a
 Bloody Contest.
A Negro Woman Started the Trouble She Pushed a White Man from a Trestle and Then the Shooting and Cutting Commenced.

Birmingham, Ala, Oct 20.-One white man is missing and supposed to be dead, another is fatally wounded, and two negroes are seriously shot, as a result of a race riot at LlTtieton, small mining town twenty-five miles from Birmingham.
 Supposed dead: Ira Creel, White man. The injured: Joe Thompson, white, shot through bowels serious John Barr, negro, shot ill heel and thigh, seriously injured Will Tolbert, negro, who shot Thompson, shot ln chest, serious.
 The trouble was precipitated by 2 negro woman, who pushed Joe Thomp- son, a white man, from railroad trestle. The woman was accompanied by William Hilbert, a negro, who flred on the white man after he had fallen. Thompson, who was not seriously hurt, went for assistance and. accompanied by Ira Greet and John Rouse, began 9 search for the negroes Other negroes had joined Tolbert by this time and from improvised breastworks they fired upon the white men. Thompson fell at the first shot and his compan- ions sought cover. A fusilade followed and only ceased when both sides had exhausted their ammunition.
 The white citizens of Iittleton be- came alarmed for fear of further trou- ble. as the negroes were largely in the majority. and called on Sheriff Burgin for assistance.
 The negroes are said toIhave stolen several hundred pounds of powder from one of the magazines at the mine and there is fear that they will at tempt to blow up some of the build ings. The little town at a late hour last night was closely guarded.

 Throat This Morning.

HEAVY BRITISH LOSS.
Disastrous Encounter Reported With
 Mad Mullah.

LONDON, Oct. 2U.-Ihe foreign of flee has issued an undated dispatch from Colonel Cobbe, commanding one of the columns of British forces op- erating against the Mad Mullah in Sonaliland. The dispatch was for warded through the British vice con sul at Berbera, Sonlaliland. Rhe Brit ish forces engaged were composed en- tirely of native troops and leyies. Colo ne1 Cobbe says:
 My force reached Erego this morn ing When about one days march north of Mudug, it was attacked in the thick bush. Two advances were made, and the enemy was beaten back in the morning. Their losses were heavy, and we captured 100 rifles. Our force then proceeded to collect an- imals for transportation purposes and to join the detachment at the stock ade camp. In the afternoon a recon noissance was made, and, after sharp fighting, the enemy were again driven off.
 T deeply regret to report the fol- lowing casualties: Colonel Phi1lipps and Captain Angus and fifty men killed and about 100 men wounded. The latter include Captain Howard and Lieutenant Everett, but both are doing we'll There were severe losses among the transport and riding cam els The force will reach the stockade camp tomorrow and will advance to attack the enemy"
 The vice consul also telegraphs the substance of a later dispatch from Colonel Swayne. who says that as re- suit of the fighting at Erego Oct. G. which was very severe, the Somali levies are considerably shaken. The mullah, who is said to be in communi- cation with Kail and Inger, in the di- Iection of the Webbe river, is bringing up endorsements from all sides.
 Colonel Swayne is much hampered owing to the necessity of transporting the wounded and water He is retiring on Bohotle He asks that 600 further reliable troops be dispatched from Ser bera forthwith.
 The serious reverse in Somaliland places the small British force there Of about 5000 men of doubtful reliability in an exceedingly perilous situation Since the beginning of Colonel 1 Swayne's second campaign against the mullah last May little has been heard of the expedition. The present dis patches seem to show that he was re- treating from the Italian frontier northward when the rnuliah attacked him at Erego. Last December the mullah was reported to have about 12,- 1 GOO men, mostly mounted, large per centage of whom were armed with | rifles. It is possible that he now com mands about 15,O00 men. With this l large force harassing him Colonel ] Swayne has to retreat to Bohotle, 150 miles, and probably still 100 miles | farther, to Burao the principal Brit ish frontier post. This march must be made under a scorching sun and over an arid and roadless desert, even if the retreat is successful. The gravest anx- iety will be felt until further news is received The entire expedition will have to be repeated on much larger scale.
