OF THE CATHOLIC MINISTER Al
HIS HOME May HAVE BEEN
THE PURPOSE
OF A STRANGER WHO ACTED M A
VERY MYSTERIOUS MANNER By
RINGING DOOR BELL FIRE.
QUENTLY.
Ana Telling the Story That His Brother
Had Had Both Legs Cut OF by Train,
But Police Could Find Neither
Him Nor His Alleged
Brother.

An alarming report reached the POI
lice Saturday night to the effect that n
man had had both legs cut OF by y train,
and they began to inquire for the mayor
and the chief to know what to do. The
chief was finally informed Of the re-
port, and he spent an hour or 30 max
ing an investigation to learn that the
report was false and without foundation,
except that stranger had informed Rev.
Daniel o'Connor and Others that his
brother had been run over by a train in
the east end Of the city and had both
legs cut of.
This stranger, it appears, was bent
on mischief. He called at the rectorate
of the Catholic church earlier in the
evening and solicited aims. The minister
assisted him and he left. But later he re-
turned and told the story about his
brother having his legs cut OF. Still
later in the evening Father OaConnor was
annoyed by the mysterious actions Of
some person, presumably this stranger,
who rang his door bell from time to time,
but disappeared before the Father could
answer personally. This was kept up to
such an extent that It was deemed best
to report It, and then It was. that the
report got out that man bad had his
legs cut of. IS
The chief, after making a thorough in
vestigation, instructed the officer in that
section OF the city to arrest the fellow
ON sight and lock him up. The descrip-
ton given of him was that he was big
red-headed fellow and carried cane.
The officer kept vigilance the remainder
of the night, but the suspect did not
appear again ON the scene.
The supposition is that he was endeav-
ing to work hold-up game and hoped
to induce the minister to come out Of
the house so that he could assault and
rob him. It Is strongly believed that
the fellow had an accomplice or two

last issue. and Mr.. Kendall, who has
charge Of the office, denies all response
biifty Of the appearing Of the article.
and says that he was opposed to its pub

Mr.. Kendall further says that he has
opposed al malicious attacks on individ.

Of q man.

made ON me by the authority and at the
mitigation Of two men who carefully

BALL PLAYERS IN TRAIN WRECK.

Tears Have Narrow Escape.

NAPOLEON Ohio, Aug. 29,--The Cleve-
land and st Louis American League base
ball teams had mira cuous escape from
death in a wreck here about 1 O'Clock this
morning A special train Of two sleepers
ard a baggage car left Toledo over the
Wabash at 1870 O'Clock last night, with the
Napoleons and Browns en- route for 81
Louis. Tie first sleeper contained the
Cleveland team. while the st. Louis men
we're in the rear car. The accident occurred
AT the crossing Of thc Wabash and tho
Detroit Southern tracks.
The train ran into the Gerailer while
going AZ tho rate Of about forty miles an
hour. As soon as the engineer felt tho
forward truCkS Of the engine strike the
lies ho slapped on the emergency brake
and by so doing probably saved the lives
Of the ball PLAYERS. He succeeded in re-
G,lcng the speed of the train so that when
the cars went int the ditch the sides were
not crushed in.
Tho Cleveland sleeper turned over on it5
side and the men in the uppers we're thrown
on top Of those who occupied berthS below.
The car did not take fire, and at the end OF
thirty minutes, every member OF the Cleve-
land team had succeeded in climbing
through the windows on the upper side OF
the car. Another engine and one sleeper
were sent TO the scene OF the wreck from
Toledo, and both teams were compelled
| to ride TO Fort Wavne, Ind, in this one
