cafe after the performance. They are said
to have been drinking freely, although, so
far as any of those supposed to be ac-

serious accident in runaway. They were
driving to their hotel when the horses be-
came frightened and ran away, the buggy
colliding with terrific force with a large
stone pillar and throwing out both the
physicians. Dr. Murray suffered injuries
which may prove fatal, owing to his adj
vanced age, and which at least will con-
fine him to the hospital for period of six
months. DIR. ,iuiteras received severe
bruises. His condition, however, will not
prevent him continuing the good work he
has been doing.
DR.. Murray's home is at Key West, and
he enjoys an international reputation as a
yellow fever expert.

Detectives Have Conclusive Evidence,
They Say, that He Stole
Several Blankets.
MRS. EDWARDS IS RELEASED
WIFE OF A CONDUCTOR WILL BE IN
COURT TODAY, HOWEVER.
Big Four Cabooses I'm the Brfghtwood
Yards to he Searched-GOOds Dis
carded at BeIlefOntaine, o.

Another Big Four conductor. Ross Sears.
Of Brightwood, was arrested yesterday by
Detectives Holtz and Bray and was locked
up at the police station on charge of grand
larceny. The detectives claim they have
conclusive evidence that Sears stole sew
eral blankets, a number of pairs of shoes
and great quantity of merchandise from
one train which was in his care but a week
ago. and they have secured two eyewit-
nesses to the theft. At his home they did
not attempt to locate any stolen goods. but
search will be made to-day, it is said.
Mrs. Edwards, wife of Harry c. Edwards.
who was arrested on Friday, was detained
at the police station few hours yesterday
morning, but on account Of having a small
baby in her arms she was allowed to go to
her home with the understanding that she
was to appear in the Police Court this
morning. The discarding of stolen prop
erty in alleys and fields still continues at
Brightwood and it seems that as the days
wear on more and more people become
afraid Of arrest and in order not to have
any stolen property found in their homes
merely throw their possessions into the
streets
Enough shoes for the feet of all Bright
wood for the winter and hats, caps and
clothing to go with them, besides an
abundance of dress goods for the women
have been pitched out into the mud of the
streets with reckless regard of quality or
quantity.
WILL SEARCH CABOOSES
This morning Detectives Holtz and Bray
will search through all the cabooses In the
Brightwood yards for stolen goods secreted
in lockers and under seats by thieving con-
ductors and brakemen, and I'm that way
they hope to locate several more of the
railroad robbers. At Brightwood little is
heard but talk Of the arrests which have
been made SO far. and everyone is wonder
ing where lightning will strike next. An
aged man followed Detectives Bray and
HoltZ for two or three blocks when they
were making their rounds of the town yes
terday and when ne had reached a secluded
place he hailed the officers of the law and
told them confidentially that he was glad
the robbing Of cars had come to light I'VE
older people have known IT was going on
for years." he said, but we didn't dare
to let it leak out"
The satisfaction expressed by the ven-
erable resident of Brightwood at the shrewd
work of the detectives is reflected in the
faces of all the honest people who have
their homes there. The police and detectives
say that when they pass down any of the
streets they notice the eyes of scores of
people following their every movement, all
eager and anxious for sensations which
they expect will develop in the home of a

rumored that a fence for the disposal of
stolen goods has been discovered here In
the city which will be exposed to-day

Desk Sergeant Could Look from His
Window and See Drunken Men
Going I'm and Out.
MISSION OF A POOR WOMAN
SHE WANTED TO GET HER HUSBAND
AWAY FROM DRINK.
Police Refused to Close a Saloon They
Knew Was Openly Violating
the Law.

Before the sun arose yesterday morning
the rear doors of barrel houses and saloons
creaked on their hinges and a steady
stream of humanity poured in and out Of
the rear barrooms without the slightest
molestation from the police. While the
respectable people of the city were attend
ing church or following other pursuits in
consonance with the dignity of the Sab
bath vice was rampant in the dives. Abb
solutely no attempt was made by the po
lice to enforce the Sunday liquor law.
From the Office of Superintendent Kruger
at the police station a view of the rear
entrances to VOLTS and Sectors barrel
houses can be had. The desk sergeant
sitting at his desk facing Alabama street
was forced to look out upon crowds of
thirsty negroes and trashy whites who
passed in and out of the back gates Of the
barrel house yards. drunk or fast becom-
ing so. In full view of the police and with
out though of interference. the bar flies
went in and out of the dives at will: some
staggering drunk and swearing others
quarreling over the drinks they had gulped
down in their eagerness for the effect; all
openly violating the law. This is picture
of what was seen yesterday from the front
doorsteps of the police station.
WANTED SALOON CLOSED
One poor woman, poor because Of the
drink which had ruined her home. called
at the police station in the afternoon and
asked in earnest tones that a saloon next
to her home be closed. Her husband she
said, was spending his earnings there and
she did not want him TO drink any more
Her appeal was met with laughter and she
was told that If the saloons were closed
many other people would be thirsty before
the day was over. and she was given to
understand that she did not own the whole
end OF the town where she lived
When inquiries were made by Journal
reporter as TO where the saloon was To-
Gated. the police said that they would send
an officer there. but refused to discuss the
question. Little groups of drunken men
were seen standing near the police station
all day long and on the streets in the CEN
trail part of the city staggering men We're
numerous. There Were several saloons
where the front doors were open to the
general public and they were not over
three blocks from police headquarters but
IL is presumed they were not unknown to
the police. Little. II anything, is
done to suppress the vice in the various
winerooms. which prosper at the present
time and young girls in their teens with
dissipated faces tell the tale OF woeful
condition Of affairs.

THREE MORE ARE DEAD.


NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 15.-Sixteen ne
groes injured In the Illinois Central wreck
at Kentwood were brought to the Charity
Hospital to-day, and three of them died
soon after reaching here. This makes a
total of twenty-eight negro men dead, one
negro woman killed and Andrew C. Kiser,
foreman of carpenters. the only white man
fatally injured, total OF thirty deaths.
The injured list foots up to eighteen. Larry
Hawthorne. the only negro who escaped
from the coach, has become demented as
a result of the shock.
The wreck has been cleared away. The
responsibility for the accident will be hard
to figure out. The first train was forty-five
minutes late. and the last five minutes be-
hind. and the two trains were virtually
running on each others time. The engineer
of the last train claimed hat he had or
ders for clear track to Chatawa while
the operator at Tangipapoa claims he sig
nailed the train to stop, intending to hold
Il ten minutes. but 1t went on and struck
the train ahead.

PLUMBER AT BELLEFoNTAINE.
Streets of Ohio Town Uttered with
Goods stolen from Big Four.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BELLEFONTAINE. o., Nov l5-Seyeral
hundred dollars worth of plunder was
found in streets and alleys here this morn
ing, and the police attribute 1t to the search
which has been inaugurated by the Big
Four Railway Company into the wholesale
thefts of merchandise from cars between
Bellefontaine and indianapolis, and which
have resulted in the arrest of half a dozen
conductors, brakemen and switchmen at
Indianapolis.
The police think the plumber was brought
in here during the night by railroad en-
ployes and dumped about over town TO
avert suspicion from other quarters. In
the goods found were shoes. shirts mill
linery and every kind of merchandise Of
ficials of the Big Four say the arrests at
Indianapolis are not all that will be made
and predict that the investigation will ex-
tend over all parts OF the system.

The astounding statement was made
in the daily papers last week that the
divorces granted in Des Moines the
past year we're y per cent Of the mar
riages performed there. We do not
know just what an analysis of the sit
uation would show, but If il is as this
statement indicates, that over one
fourth of the marriages performed re-
suit so unhappily that separation fol
lows, then the condition of society
and standard of morals must be pretty
low in the capital city. The divorce
habit seems to be gaining in this coun-
try. 1t is said America allowsdivorce
more easily and employs it more than
other civilized countries. We have
been wont to laud the home as the
foundation of our liberties and as the
nursery of our best institutions. Di'
vorce breaks up the home. Hence di'
orce, or divorce and wrong living
which often brings divorce, are botf
enemies to our country.

John L. Webster, the noted Omaha
lawyer, is presented by the Nebraska
republican state convention as can
didate for the nomination of vice-pres-
ident. They, of course, expect Iowa
to assist them. We well remember
when Iowa was asking for the nomi-
nation of Allison for president that
Nebraska was not neighborly in the
matter, so we are free fromobligations
to them. 1t is said by the friends OF
the Nebraska man that he is an able
and excellent lawyer and would make
splendid presiding officer for the
senate. The position of vice president
has risen in the estimation of the
country until most people concede that
candidate for that place should be
equipped with experience in public life
and that he should have proven abil-
ity as a statesman. The possibilities
of the place are too great to allow il
to be given to one inexperienced in
national politics and craftsmanship.

The position ofthe Republican party
on the currency questions seems to be
that there is not gold enough to do
business on as the case would stand.
Silver they will not have; hence they
must have more paper money. Gov
eminent notes they will nothave, hence
currency based on the bonds of cor
porations is the thing. The more
bonds, the more water in the bond, the
more profits. The old alchemist who
dreamed of governing allsorts of stuff
into gold ought to be delighted with a
scheme like this. Sentinel
Democrat.
We should think that the advocate
of a party that had embraced every
wild financial notion from a to lizard,
irredeemable paper, free silver coin
age, ETC., would not, for mOdesty'S
sake, accuse the republican party OF
falling in with visionary schemes, es-
pecially as there is no indication of
such thing. The editor of the SD.
has evidently been reading the demo-
cratic platform.

see several hundred of them together
that doesn't give us the privilege to

The Fontanelle Observer, as well as
several other of our exchanges, is
surely laboring under a wrong impress
sion as to when the biennial election
amendment will come before the peo-
Pile. The Observer said last week that
it would "come before the people at
general election again this year." The
joint resolution, introduced by Sena-
ator Harper, has been before but one
Legislature, and is referred to the COM
ing general assembly, consequently
can not be submitted to the people I'M
til the fall of 1904. The discussion
now running in the press on this sub
ject is, therefore, to some extent pre-
mature.
