a CHICAGO MYSTERY.
Police Find a Dead Body in a Box on
DEPOT Platform.

Depot Platform.
Chicago, July 28.-Doubled in q
rough box, the body Of a man bruised
and partially dismembered was thrown
over the street railing to the express
platform OF the Chicago and North
western railway station.
For eight hours all evidence of what
is now believed to be a CHASTITY crime
was lost, The fact that the body was
turned over to the police makes the
mystery all the deeper. Although the
body was conveyed to a morgue on
North Clark street in the patrol wagon
OF h Chicago emu police station,
neither Inspector Campbell nor the
proprietor Of the morgue knows what
has become OF 1t.
These strange facts, coupled with the
evident reluctance OF every one con-
neoted with the case to discuss it, has
added to the interest. The police a
they are not doing anything in the
matter. For three hours the box which

the attention of the baggage movers
to 1t.
It was found that the unmarked, un-
tagged case contained the body of a

IN several pieces.
Investigation showed that the box

the station at 4 o'clock in the morning.
A night watohman of the railway com
pAny saw a wagon pack up to the plat
form and leave the box. but he noticed
nothing about 1t except that one Of the
panels of h wagon was broken.
Tho Watehman's Story.
Accordtng to the watchman's story,
the driver swung his horse around so
that the tailboard OF his wagon was
parallel with the platform and threw
OH the box AS he brought his horse
around In a semi-circle a young man,
who was on the seat with him, jumped
Off and pulled the box to the railing
and thence to the platform.
Leaving the box In front of the lit
tie weigh station, which is at this point,
the younger man jumped over the rail-
ms asa1n, climbed upon the Wagon and
rode away.
When the regular force Of freight
handlers arrived at the station there
was nothing to attract their attention
to the case. Soon an odor was no.
tcad, however. and they traced it to
this box.
F. D. Taylor, who has charge Of all
the baggage that the Chicago and
Northwestern road handles, was called,
and after looking over the records and
finding there was nothing to indicate
the shipper of this box, he ordered that
1t be opened.
As the top was removed the body Of
a man, covered only with a coat and
a sheet, was revealed. The condition
Of the body was c that no investi-
CATION was made at this time.
AS soon as the contents of the box
were made known, it was removed to
the station masters house, just west
of the express platform. 1t remained
there until 2 o'clock Wednesday aft
srnoon. according to employees of the
railway.
Then the police took charge IF 1t,
so William Riley, special agent of the
railway says. What became of the
body eventually he confesses he does
not know.

Warning Against Ignorance.
,e, M%asniagton July 2s,-"The unparal-

vnhceu the time has come to put a check

onaer the present immigration law the

IN MS is clearly shown by the figures for

they would embrace very little of the dam
ssioas element. But anyone who studies
she ngures for the year just closed and
notes where the bulk of the aliens come
from Will realize that they are not OF
the former desirable class.
Inc total immigration last year, which
Was by far the largest in our history, was
sl,Sl5. Eighty per cent Of it was com
posed OF the Italian, Polish, hebrew.
scandinavian, German, Slavcza and
Croatlan races. New York received %
per cent OF the entire immigration. Mas
~sachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut,
new York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
received 6o per cent; the states Of the
Mississippi 81 per cent, and the western
states only l3 per cent.
II some means could be found to d.
vert immigrants from the centers of pop
ulat1on IN the east to the south and west,
where workers are wanted and where
there are splendid opportunities for them,
much OF the danger would be averted;
but the fact that the great bulk Of the
Aliens locate in the large cities presents
a serious condition.
Some OF our western and southern
safes need immigration and seek 1t, but
the immigrants will not go where this
need exists. They prefer life in the over
crowded districts of the large cities and
the less arduous labors of pushing a
hahd-cart Or grinding a hand-organ."

The w trains were the Twin City,
limited and a fast freight. The limited
was running as a first section from
OelWein, Ia, to Minneapolis. The sec
ond section consisted Of an excursion
train running from Des Moines to
Minneapolis, and was three hours be-
hind time.
The fast freight southbound received
an order at Dodge Center reading that
the secon section Of the passenger
train was three hours late and the
crew evidently misread the order and
attempted to make Vlasaty Siding, be-
tween Dodge Center and. Hastings,
Mimi, thinking that It was the limited
that was late. Meanwhile the limited
was pounding along at regular speed

It, h limited, had rounded a curve at
,vlasaty. The morning was foggy, and
neitreh engineer saw the other in time
to stop, although the engineer Of the
limited a applied the air brakes
That h two trains came together
with terrific force was evidenced by the
fact that both engines were badly dam
aged, but they remained standing up
right on the tracks. The baggage and
buffet cars were completely wrecked
and turned crosswise OF the tracks. The
6rst sleeper back of the buffet was
badly smashed in the forward end and
the four rear cars remained intact on
the track.
Orders were issued to bring the dead

cal attendance, None of the passen-
gers We're seriously injured, but cuts

Salt Lake Road Buys Five Hundred
Miles of Railroad.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March o.
The Times today quotes an officer of
the Salt Lake road as having made
the following statement.
The San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt
Lake Railway company has purchased
for about $8,000,000 all the lines owned
by the Oregon Short Line, or controlled
by it, lying south of Salt Lake City
and extending to Calientes, New. The
total mileage bought, including branch
lines, comprises more than 500 miles
Of railroad.
Furthermore, 1t is stipulated that
the deal shall include a portion of the
rolling stock and equipment of the
lines that have been purchased The
transfer is to be made and the Salt
Lake company is to take possession as
soon as the remaining legal formali-
ties can be carried out. The Oregon
Short Line company, of course, aban-
dons all intention of building to the
Pacific coast, and will expect to have
complete line through to Salt Lake
and in operation within year after
the transfer is made.

Lady Roses Daughter" is achieving
a remarkable success in spite of con-
siderable criticism of Mrs. Humphrey
Ward for borrowing much Of the story
from the life, letters and adyentur US
of Mile. JUL de Lespinasse, who was
prominent in the social and literary
life of France at the end of the eight
zenith century. Mrs. Ward has taken
the trouble to reply to these criticisms
in the following letter:
Il am delighted to find from a stray
newspaper paragraph which has reach
ed me that some of your literary read
ers have discovered the relation be-
tween my new story, Lady Roses
Daughter and The Life and Letters
of Mile. de Lespinasse.F / have, of
course, made it sufficiently plain both
by calling my heroine Julie and by sew
eral references and passages in the
book itself, which will have appealed
at once to tf1oses acquainted with that
treasure house of human psychology,
the world of French memoirs. Some
years ago, when reading the French
letters Of Nile. de LespfnaSse, l was
struck with the dramatic possibilities
of the situation between her and Nine.
du Deffand. Certain figures. and Incl
dents Of modern English life rushed
into my mind at the same time, and
modern Julie seemed to stand and
move before me. Alack, it was not pos
sible for me to follow the Sad, and,
fear, shameful, story of the Sold Julie
very far; not for me, at any rate, who
prefer to believe in and paint the kind
lier issues and possibilities of human
fate = and if your readers had
been able to trace my source through
out-supposing they had cared enough
about the tale TO do so-that, I submit,
should only havesz.been an additional
pleasure to them, and no discredit to
me-" -
Those who are familiar with the
matter claim tina f Nffs!s'KNard+ has done
more than her plot from the memoirs
of Julie de- Lespinasse. Many of the
same incidents and scenes, it is said,
are transcribed from the French book.
Most of u.s. however, have. not read
the memoirs and know only that Mrs.
Ward had made an interesting story,
no matter where she got the material.

Slow but Interesting.

1t is very slow, tedious series of
experiments to watch, and yet there is
the element of surprise and Spectacu-
lar effect in it, too, even for the unini-
tiated. 1t is an impressive sight to
see 100000 pounds brought to bear by
a slow moving giant of machine, to
feel the terrific jar as the bar snaps,
and to watch, from a safe distance,
toe small fragments fly, as they occa-
sionally do, and bury themselves in the
wall like bullets from a rifle; then to
watch the breaking of a single horse
hair in the same machine, and observe
how both breaking strains-the hun
dreds of thousands of pounds and the
hand pressure-are recorded with equal
accuracy by a fine balanced lever as
delicate as an apothecarys scales 1t
IS surprising to discover through a pair
of telescopes strapped to a three-inch
steel bar as it rests in the "tOrtion
machine" that, although the solid met
al IS stout enough to drive the entire
printing machinery of the largest news
paper, it will nevertheless twist under
the pressure of your wrist; or, again,
to find that a set of heavy wooden
beams, nearly as thick as ones body,
which have purposely been over
Weighted for Eearly three years in Or
der that their growing tired" might
be watched, are, despite the strain on
them. as sensitive to the weather as a
barometer and are never the same
shape for two consecutive days.
A person interested In this sort of
experiments finally comes to regard the
impressive elements with which we
build as having life and feeling and the
delicacy of human nerves. But his
side of it is apart from the final object
Of the tedious tests. The one real OBJ
ject is to discover the law Of breakag es
and write it down clear and plain, so
that our existence in this whir of TWEEN
tieth century machinery may be safer
and easier.
