DIED IN INDIA.
Mrs. Crosby Of New York Had Been
Attending the Delhi Durbar.

Attending the Delhi Durbar.
United States Consul Fee at Bombay has
informed the State Department of the death
at Baroda, India, on January II, of Mrs. E.
Louise Crosby, whom he described as "a
lady of considerable standing and wealth In
New York"
The consul says:
"She had been travelling for some time,
attending the Delhi durbar, and was on her
way to Bombay and Ceylon. She stopped
over for a day at Baroda to see the Gaek-
ware Palace. She was taken i'll, died and
was buried within week.
"Everything was done for her that was
possible. The resident at Baroda sent the
doctor Of the residency. A native and two
missionary ladies gave their services and a
trained nurse from the European hospital
in Bombay reached her the night before
she died and Stayed with her during her last
hours and remained until after the funeral.
She was buried in the English cemetery In
the British cantonment at Baroda.''
The consul says also that Mrs. Crosby had
a large amount of personal effects and
money. At the request Of Consul Fee the
resident at Baroda ordered a member Of his
staff to take possession Of them and make
an inventory. The personal effects are In
the possession of the resident, subject to
the direction Of the administrator general.

had been purposely left open for the pur-
pose of creating the impression that bur-
glars had entered the house. Familiarity
with the house is also shown by the fact
that the lunch was not brought to the den
by Burdick, but by some other person
1.-The analysis of the contents of Bur
dicks stomach shows that he had not
tasted Of a particle of the crackers, cheese
and tarts found on the table in the den.
Deliberation and freedom from fear OF ap-
prehension Is shown by the fact that the
murderer took time to do many things
which a person in fear Of discovery would
not have done"
The rumor was current tonight to the
effect that Mrs. Maria Hull, mother-in-law
Of the late Edwin Burdick, who was MUIR
dered on February q, had been seriously
injured or was Ill.
Efforts were made to learn the real
facts in the case, but all requests at the
Burdick residence were met with refusal
to discuss the subject.
A young man who said his name was
Allen and that he was a friend Of the
family acted as spokesman. He said:
II refuse to confirm or deny the story
that Mrs. Hull was injured or that she
is in other than her usual health, except
to say that she is weakening under the
terrible nervous strain to which she has
been subjected and has not been herself
since the trying experience on the witness
stand"
Dr. Marcy the family physician, was
not called to the Burdick home.

FOUGHT OVER A WOMAN.
John Genkinger Killed by George
Merkle at New Castle, Pa.

A dispatch from New Castle. Pa, yester-
day says: John Genkinger of Butler ave-
nue., a well-known man Of this city, died
in the Shenango Valley Hospital here at
o'clock this afternoon from q wound re-
ceived a few minutes before at the hands
of George Merkle, proprietor Of hotel at
Darlington, Beaver county. The shooting
occurred at the apartments Of Mrs. Eva
Rumberger, in the second story Of the
Genkinger block, on Apple alley, and is sup
posed to have been the result Of jealousy.
Merde was arrested with his smoking
revolver yet in his hand, before he left
Mrs. Rumberger's apartments by Officer
Henry Bell, who arrived almost immedi-
ately on the scene. Genkinger was then
lying on settee and pointed out Merkle
as the man who shot him. when Police
man Bell entered. Merkle fired four shots,
only one Of which took effect. The wound
ed man was hurried to the hospital, but
died upon reaching that institution.
Immediately after the shooting Mrs.
Rumberger was examined by Mayor Jack
son and Coroner Porter and told the story
of the shooting. She said Merkle was in
her apartments when Genkinger appeared
and asked her for a diamond pin he had
lent her yesterday. She and Merkle were
discussing their probable marriage and
Mrs. Rumberger says Genknger remarked
to Merkle:
George If you don't marry Eva, after
all she has done for you, you are a chump"
This seemed to anger Merkle. who started
toward Genkinger, drawing his revolver.
Mrs. Rumberger says Genkinger then
grasped an empty beer bottle and hurled
1t at Merkle who was struck in the face,
| the breaking bottle cutting an ugly CASH.
Merkle then began to fire. and Genkinger
grappled to save himself The men fought
for time, until loss of blood made Cen
| kinger weak. Mrs. Rumberger says she
tried to separate the fighting men, but that
Merlle seemed to grow crazy and struck
and kicked Genkinger long after the man
| was unable to defend himself. Then she
raised the window and screamed for help,
and Policeman Bell rushed in. Merkle was
hurried to police heaQuarters and refuses
to make any statement.

Kark heard the order without a motion

was magical.

PECULIAR RAILWAY ACCIDENT.
Two Engineers Killed by Their Cabs
Colliding in Passing.

A dispatch from Washington, N. J., yes
terday says: A peculiar collision occurred
near here today between a passenger train
and a freight train on the Delaware, Lack
awanna and Western railroad In which
Isaac Sutton of Hoboken, engineer of the
passenger train, and T. A. Coveyn of Scran-
ton, Pa, engineer of the freight train, were
killed. The freight train was on a siding

of the accident until the train passed q

that look out Of his eyes, why does ne not
shut them?" sgurd muttered, irritably
Perhaps 1t was that look which Helga
encountered. as she made the last step that
brought her face to face with the chler.
At that moment a great change came over
her. When the guardsmen pushed back to
the extreme limits Of his chair to regard
her in sort Of incredulous horror, she did
not fan at his feet as every one expected
her to, and as she herself had thought to
do. Instead she flung up her head with
spirit that sent the long locks flying. Even
when anger began to distort his face-an-
ger headlong and terrible as Eric's-her
glance crossed his like sword blade.
You need not look at me like that kins-
man." She said, fiercely. ut is your own
fault for giving me into the power OF
up to be a free Morse shield maiden"
If the planks Of the deck had risen against
them the men could not have looked at
each other more aghast Her poldness
seemed to paralyze even Left. or was II
the grain of truth in the reproach that
stayed him? He let moment after moment
pass without replying. He sat plainly
struggling to hold back his fury, gripping
his chair arms until the knuckles on his
fists cleaned white.

shrewd old foster father put aside the

It was only very slightly that the pause
had cooled Helga's valor.
He has treated me lfkesa horse that
traders deck out in costly things and parade

Though they knew Gilli,s conduct was en-
tirely within the law. and there was not a
man there who might not have done the
same thing, they all grnnted contemptu-
ously. Tyrker stroked his beard, with an
other sidelong glance at his foster son, as
he said, cautiously:

Those who had hoped that Leifs love for
his foster son might outweigh his anger
gauged but poorly the force Of the resent
ment he had been holding back. At this
offer of a victim which it was free to accept
his anger could no more be restrained than
unclaimed torrent. 1t burst out in a
stream of denunciation that bent Sigurd's
handsome head and dashed the blood into
his cheeks. Coward and traitor were the
mildest of Its reproaches; contempt and
eternal displeasure were the least of Its
dooms. Though Helga besought with eyes
and hands, the torrent Numbered on with
fury that even the ire of Eric had never
surpassed.
Only lack of breath brought 1t finally to
an end. The chief dashed himself back
into his chair, and leaned there, painting
and darling fiery glances from under his
scowling brows-now at Rolf and the Nor
man. now at Helga, and again at the mo-
tfonless figure Of Sigurd Haraldsson, ST.
lently awaiting his pleasure. When he
spoke again it was with the suddenness OF
a blow.
! Nor do altogether believe that it was
to escape from Gill that she took this
venture upon herself. By her own story,
Gill had gone away for the season and
left her free. 1t Is my opinion that it took
something Of more Importance to steal the
wits out Of her."
Helga blanched. If he was going to pry
words bring out? Under the Norman's
silken tunic, an English heart leaped, and
then stood still. There was a pause In
which no one seemed to breathe. But the
next words were as unexpected as the last

ture Of impotence. Have nothing to

and inviting Robert Sans-Peur to take the

In daze of bewilderment, Sigurd let Rolf
lead him away.
What can he mean by such an ending?"
he marveled, as soon as 1t was safe to voice
| his thoughts. "How comes it that he will
