YOUNG PERRY DEAD.
The Negro Lad Indicted for Murder of
 Two Women.

Two Women.
 Cambridge, Mass, March S.-George l.. o. Perry the negro lad indicted for the murders of Agnes McPheeSof Som- ersville, and Clara Morton at Waverly, commonly referred to as the Jack the 1. Slugger'' cases, and for which Edward Mason, prominent business man, was held for some time. died at the Cam bridge jail to-day of nervous exhaus- tion. Perry survived an attack of ty- phoid fever and death is announced to have resulted directly from worry, which prevented complete physical restoration from the weakened condi- tion in which the fever left him.
 Though he was persuaded Friday that his end was near, it is not known that he made any formal statement and it is believed that he protested his innocence to the last.
 Perry took nourishment this morning as usual but soon after a radical change was noticed in his condition. He fingered little over an hour. His mother. Mrs. Conway, was notified of his death and she ordered an under taker to call for the body.
 Sheriff Fairbairn refuses to say any, thing regarding the prisoners last hours, beyond the remark that he con- sidered the case closed. This is inter preted by some to mean that the sheriff had reason to be satisfied that the mur- der case ended with the death of the lad, but the statement is possibly of another construction. He may have referred merely to Perry's alleged con- nection with the mystery. The sheriff had several talks with Perry shortly before his death.
 Perry was taken i'll January IS and passed safely through a run of fever. His predicament, however, preyed up- on his mind continuously and although he had made show of keeping up his spirits, he failed to regain his strength, and gradually wasted away, A week ago he was told that he could not live but he insisted that he would and did not give up until Friday afternoon. On that day the house physician called up- on and told him that he had gto to die. "Oh, no," answered Perry, "rll get well yet"
 The physician repeated that he had little hope for him. Perry then lapsed into silence for some time and then turning to the physician asked in a hopeless voice:
 Doctor, have I really got to die?" T think SOL was the reply. You are very weak. and I don't see how you can last much longer" Asked if he desired the presence of a

 St. Louis, March S.-In all probability the answer which is expected to ac- colnplish the dissolution of the injunc- tion served last Tuesday, to prevent a strike among the employees of the Wa bash railroad, will be filed in the Unit ed States district court tomorrow. From the amount of labor that is being expended by the legal counsel in the preparation of the answer it is known that the instrument will be very vol luminous and is believed to presage a hard and carefully prepared fight for a sweeping victory.
 We are now beginning to see the end of our york;" said Attorney F. J. Pinney of Cleveland. Each member of the counsel replied in similar vein to-day when questioned regarding the time of the completion of the answer, but none would make definite state. ments. The leaders and committeeman spent the day in making statements bearing on the case, which will consti- tute part of the answer.

REFERRED TO FROM PULPIT.
Buffalo Pastor Points Out Alleged Evils
 of Club Life.


 Buffalo, N. Y, March S.--The Burdick case was referred to from the pulpits of some of the churches of the city to-day. At the Lafayette Baptist church, the Rev. George Whitman de- livered a sermon on Club Life versus Home Life" Recent Events in our City, said MT. Whitman, have re- vealed the gay irreligious life which many of our more prosperous people live. There is a growing godlessness among many we'll to do persons. The type of depravity among persons in the higher circles is often worse than in the siums of the city. This gay, goddess way of living often manifests itself in what is often spoken of as club life. admit that clubs differ in their aims, but I believe that that which is me- chanically called club life is opposed to the interests of the individual and the nation and the church. In it's essen tial purpose club life is neither social, literary nor beneficiary. The purpose of many may be the purest, but almost inevitably there will be a black sheep who will improve the opportunity to work wrong. A murder is committed in our city and two divorce cases are re- vealed. These have some relation to the club life.
 America is fast following in the steps of the old Roman empire. The home is despised; children are an en- cumbrance; a poodle dog is of more value than baby. Wealth and pride consume the life blood of the nation and aristocratic weaknesses saps our democratic vigor."

NEW WITNESS INBURDICK CASE.
A Night WaIchman COrrOborates Pc-
 IIeeman's Story.

Buffalo. N. Y, March S.-The most important development in the Burdick murder mystery to-day was the dis covery by the police of evidence to cor roborate the story told by Policeman Meyer of meeting lone woman on Ashland street about 1 o'clock on the night of the murder. It is not much but the police feel encouraged. The new witness is Gabriel Reid, a night watchman. The fact that they are still working on the Lone woman" clue indicates that they have not abandoned the theory that woman had a hand in the crime.
 Superintendent Bull stands firm in that belief. T still believe as I did, that a, woman committed the crime" he said when seen tonight.
 Have you changed your opinion as to who was the suspect?"
 ''No. Any suspect is the same as be- fore. My opinion is unchanged. It may be long case, or it may not. We certainly have hope"
 District Attorney Coatsworth said there were no new developments. The three unknown women who have fig ured in the case so far as known up to this time are described as the Hone woman" the Host woman" and the woman taken to the corner of Ashland avenue and Summer street by cab driver. The general description given to the police by those who saw wo- man in the vicinity of the Burdick house on the night of the murder tal lies in many details. The three were seen at different times and under un- usual circumstances.

Ready to Send Posse to Waterbury if
 Necessary.

Sheriff Durham listened with great interest to an account of the murder in Waterbury, which was telephoned to him at the county jail.

He will hold himself in readiness, however, to go to Waterbury at moments notice. and, if necessary, to send posse there.

OBITUARY.,

Mrs. MARY A. BRANDT was born
Mdskingum County, Ohio, February
20, 1882, and died near Ewing, O.,
March l1th, 1908, aged II years and
81 days.
Her parents were August C. and
Mary Schaal, natives of Germany.
In 1887 her parents with their family
removed to Vinton County, Ohio,
where, on September 9th. 1852, she
married Andrew Brandt, and in April
1854 she and her husband and infant
son, Henry, moved to Hooking
County, where she resided until the
time Of her death.
On October 10th, 1868, she was
bereft of her husband, and during
all the long years since that time she
cherished his memory most sa-
credly. On August Z, 1871, death
again visited her family and removed
her eldest son, Henry, who had ar
rived at the age Of 1s years, and
who, as well as her husband, was
faithful member of the church of
her choice.
At an early age she became a
member of the Evangelical Lutheran
church, and renamed faithful and
constant member until taken from
time to eternity. Her highest mis-
sion was to do good, always ready
and willing to assist others, and her
kind neighbors and friends have
shown their gratitude to her by their
constant watchfulness and tender as
sistance to her during her long sick
ness and suffering.
She suffered great bodily pain dur
ing many weeks and months past,
out during all that time she patiently
bore it all. and although she prayed |
many times for Ter dear Maker to
take her home 10 Him, yet it always
was ''Thy will, net mine, be done."
Her sickness was one which the
best medical skill could not cure, and
she gradually grew weaker and weak
er until on Wednesday morning,
March 11th, her fondest wish was
gratifed, and she quietly fell asleep
10 Jesus.
She leaves to mourn their loss four
Charles F. and William D.
Brandt, Mrs. Caroline F. Harsh and
Mrs. Elizabeth NJ. Keller, nine grand
children and three brothers, and many
'elatives and friends to whom she
ian never more return, but to whom
Ter beautiful Christian life and char
'cter should be an inspiration to
meet her in the Great Beyond.
Her funeral services were held at
Ewing, Ohio, March 1ath, at 1880
!. m., conducted by Rev. E. G. |;
'poehr, in the presence of large
congregation, after which her rel
nairs were laid away in their final ss
epose by the side of her long de.
arted husband, to await the resur- !
ection of the dead. w.D.B. I
