The burglars effected an entrance through 'ne
basement, twisting the lock from an IRON dooi
at the foot of the stairs leading TO the cellar
and then passing through a storage room TO a
flight of stairs which gave access to the hrst
floor They used q Jimmy to smash open the

they smashed another door, this one leading TO

.SOTTHERNERS AGREE.
SURPRISED at Secretary Roots State
menf. H07ceUer.

Some sunrise was manifested yesterday by
members of the Southern colony in this city at the
statements regarding the negro question made by
Secretary Root of the War Department. In his
sneech at the Union League Club Friday night
Men Of Southern birth said they agreed heartily
with Secretary Root that negro suffrage had been
a failure; 10 many it was only the fulhlment OF
prophecies made Immediately after the wal.
Colonel Edwin T. Taliaferro. who had just re-
turned from a trip through Virginia, said that 1t
was the greatest mistake in the history OF this
country TO give the blacks the right Of suffrage
I agree most heartily with Secretary Root
Colonel Taliaferro said. when he says that the
negro suffrage plan has been failure. They have
done nothing to better themselves. 1t was great
mistake ever give them the right TO vote or to
mold Office, and 1 think the sentiment Of the en-
tire South and great part Of the North is with
me when / say it They ought never to have been

hesitatingIy support any legislation to disfran-
chise the blacks and ! think they would be better

feeling 20 North, South, but just one govern

property rights
What would you do with the ooOred mem"
Colonel Taliaferro asked.
Put them where the Indians are to-day; make
them wards of the government and let the govern
n2ent care for them"
Hilliarr Lindsay also agreed with the statement
that negro suffrage had been failure. but he had
no remedy suggest. 1T is too big question TO
decide in this fashion he laughed. Il know of
rotfing TO benefit the conditions now; Negro en-
reimbursement has certainly proved failure.
What would / DO about it? Well, let the people
who took the mana cement Of the negroes out of
the hands of the South settle the matter. Only.
you can't take the negroes now you could thirty
wears ago The conditions are greatly changed in
the South
George Foster Peabody. when asked if. with his
knowledge Of the South and conditions among the
blacks. and with his experience in Southern edu-
cational matters, he agreed with Secretary Root,
refused 10 discuss the speech the political aspect
Of the question. He said, however, he firmly be
fieved the question Of the negro race will be
solved by Booker T. Washington and those working
with him rather than by any political organization

many hospitals was answerable for much dlscon-

morbid conditions The long established fear OF
fresh air especially at night, is not easily overcome

Mystery surrounds the aesth of an unident-
fed man, about forty years old. whose aeao anu

car n the yards of the New-York Central Rail
road at Thirty-third-sI and Eleventh-aVe. Al
thought the police report that there was no evil
dence of violence, workmen employed In 'he
Yards and who were there at the time the BODY
was found and q freight agent in the employ OF
the New-York Central Railroad. declare that the
man committed suicide. and probably because
he had been locked in the and was oYlhs Vi

10 the attention of the police Of the West Ihir'S-
seventh-st. station Captain Ferris at once oe-
tailed detectives it. but up tc an carry hour
this morning they had not made any report
The car was nailed up at Albany about twelve
days ago. and was not opened until last night
II has been standing on sidings at various sta
tsons between this city and Albany in that time
and the voice of a man calling from inside the
car could not be heard outside
The body was discovered by Michael Darlezar.
q foreman in charge of a gang of hay handlers

which the body was found one of fifteen

were consigned TO a firm Of hay dealers in this

told that there was nothing in the case. at me

Around the mans neck navy blue hand
kerchief with white dots. This was bound tight
TO the neck At the back of the neck. and fast
ened to the handkerchief, d piece of strap
with a buckle attached The strap was the knd
used on trunks. but was much worn The hano-
kerchief had been knotted together at the back
and one corner of the handkerchief was missing
This was found later attached TO the remainder
Of TIE strap which was found hanging from a
beam at the top Of the freight car Those who
saw il believed that the man committed suicide
and the strap broke when the car was 1osueo,
letting the body fall to the floor. II is thought
that the man became hungry and tried TO gam
his liberty. but could not do so. Finally. when
he had nearly starved to death. he committed
suicide TO cut short his sufferngs.
The story of the blue handkerchief and the
Niece Of strap and belt buckle was verified last
night al the Morgue. The Morsue keeper said
that the man had undoubtedly been strangfed.

Mccormick. ILL.,. Sept. 2S.-Miss
Ethel Bradshaw of this place has writ
ten letter. which is remarkable for
the character of the statements it
contains. AS her letter will be read
with interest. and probably with profit
by many women, 1t has been thoughs
advisable to publish it in part. Among
other things Miss Bradshaw says
Il had Kidney Trouble with the
various unpleasant symptoms which
always come with that disease, and l
have found cure. l would strongly
advise all who may be suffering with
any form of Kidney Complaint to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills, remedy which
l have found to be entirely satisfac-
tory.
This remedy is within the reach of
all. and it is all that it is recon-
mended to be. found it so. and there
fore feel it my duty to tell others
about it."

Dodd's Kidney Pills in his regular
