AChicara Mystery.

Early Wednesday morning the dead
bodies Of Harriet Elizabeth Weber
and InHcenti Talamini, a marble cut
ter, we're found on Lexington evenue
just south Of saith street Chicago, III.
Both had been shot twice, and while
there are indications that the man shot
the woman and tnen killed himself,
there are other features to the case
that make. 1t somewhat mysterious.
Arthur NJ. Laurie, with whom the
dead woman had made her home, will
be held by the police until after the
inquest. There is no evidence connect
ing him with the sh )oting, but-he is
detained as witness. The body Of
the woman was Unidentified as that OF
Mrs Laurie,n but when Laurie was
brought to the police station he said
She was not his wife and that he did
not know whose body was found with
hers.
In going through the effects OF Miss
Weber an envelop was found addressed
evidently in the handwriting OF the
man Inocenti Talamini. In seeking
ralamini to find what he might know
10 the woman or Shooting, the officers
himself No cause is known why Tai
anini should have shot the woman,
but she e~had told several OF her friends
the day before Of Jew who had been
following her and Of whom she was
afraid. Talamini has a Hebraic coun-
tenance and it is general theory that
he shot her because she refused to
marry him.
In the mans hand was revolver
with four chambers discharged, ac-
counting for the four shots fired. The
people living in the neighborhood
where the tragedy occurred declare
that more than four shots were fired
and one bullet crushed through win
dow. These facts have led the police
to believe that there may have been a
third party to the shooting. The
Weber woman is a native OF Detroit,
Mich.

a a Negro Preacher Unable to Rent
Houee in w aterto,yn.

A dispatch from Watertown, N. Y, !,
says the Rev. j. Douglass Jackson, q
negro preacher, who went there on
July from Richfleld Springs to
assume charge Of the African Metho.
dist Episcopal Zion Church, has been
unable to find a home for himself and
family. He says that he has made
efforts to secure a home, and on sever
al occasions places have almost been
secured through white directors Of
the church, but as soon a; those about
to lease house learn of the color Of
the prospective tenant he is turned
down. Now and then place is offer
ed him In block Of questionable re-
as he says it is such places as these
that hc proposes to break up. Jack
son has a wife with him, and an
eighteen year-old daughter he Is
anxious to take to Watertown as soon
as he can rent a house He is about
40 years of age and is having large
congregations Of colOred people in his
church, which is in the tenderloin
district, and which will be moved as
soon as the directors can raise the
necessary funds. A brigadier general
who served in the civil war made the
announcement on learning of the clor-
ed mans plight, that while he
possessed only limited means, he
would start subscription to purchase
a house for this or any colored preach
er who might succeed him. He is
willing to subscribe $50, and within &
few days a home for Jackson may be
purchased. 1t is thought probable
that the deal will have to be made
quietly, and by white people, SO great
Is the prejudice against the negro race.

WON AN EXCITING GAME
INDIANAPOLIS DEFEATED RICHMOND
BY TO SCORE.
Many Fouls Were Made by Visitors,
but Only Two Were CaIled-Elwood
Won from the Racine Team.

BY a score Of to the Indianapolis polo
team defeated the Richmond "Huggers"
last night In probably the most exciting
game that has been played in Indianapolis
this season. Two fouls were called against
Mansfield during the contest, and had Ref
cree Demontreville displayed little nerve
there would have been many more fouls
called against the Richmond aggregation.
Mansfield and Doherty persisted in hold
ing, tripping and pushing through the con-
test, but the referee was only able to see
two of the fouls made by Mansfield. The
crowd Kissed the Richmond players for
their unfair tactics. and also took occasion
to roast the referee for his failure to call
fouls.
The visitors seemed to take delight in
pushing Higgins against the banks. and in
holding him whenever he started down the
field with the ball Doherty and Hipson
also mixed in many scrimmages, but the
fieet-footed Indianapolis player came out
with flying colors. Thu Indianapolis men
played a clean game, the foul called against
Coggshall resulting from his striking the
ball with his hand. The spectators ap-
plauded when the Indianapolis players
dumped the opposing players to the floor.
Higgins scored the two goals for Indian
apolis. but he was ably assisted by Hipson
and the other Indianapolis players. The
team work was superb, while the defense
put up by Way, Coggshall and Cusick was
brilliant. There was no time during the
contest that the play was not exciting.
Higgins won the rush in the first period,
and for fifteen minutes the teams played
desperately, but neither side scored. Hig-
gins hooked the ball into the Richmond
cage in the second period in 1:39, the only
goal scored in that session Of the game.
He was assisted by clever pass by Hipson.
Bone batted the ball into the cage in the
for the next three minutes was very fas.
Higgins scored the next goal, which prov,
to be the winning point. During the re-
nainder of the contest both teams played
fast IIne-up and SUMMARY.

SIXTY MILES AN HOUR
EXPECTATIONS OF THE INVENTOR
OF THE EMERSON LAUNCH.
Hopes to Make a Mile a Minute and to
Cross the Atlantic in Two Days
First Test q Failure.

CINCINNATI, March 24.-The trial of the
Emerson launch that was built for Com
modore Edwards, of the Royal Yacht Club.
in Canada, was failure here to-day, owing
to the breaking of one of the propellers
in the harbor. 1t was decided then to take
the launch to Detroit for test to make a
mile a minute at some future date.
ITO cross the ocean in two days." is a
result the inventor expects to achieve with
the new method Of propulsion. The launch,
which is thirty feet long. is built along the
lines of all launches of it's size of to-day,
but possesses a newly-developed motor that
has thirty-horse propelling power and
weighs less than 600 pounds. A new ar
rangement of valve action is supplied, en-
abling the engine to make 1000 revolutions
a minute, turning the screw 1000 revolutions
a minute.
Mr.. Emerson says he will soon begin the
construction of vessel which will be built
solely for speed, and with which he expects
to make mile minute. Such, he claims,
is the construction of his engine that this
can be maintained for an indefinite period
and will permit a vessel to cross the At
lantic in two days. The engine he saws.
can be fitted UP on steamers of any size,
and while producing the height of speed
will not jar the vessel. Gas generated from
gasoline will be the motor power. and the
expenses of operating a yacht cruiser when
itted out with this new motor will be one
third that required to-day Several years
ago Mr.. Emerson constructed a launch
with which he made forty-five miles an
hour and easily ran away from the English
torpedo boats that raced with him. His
new engine. however. he claims, is vastly
superior to that one, and will create a much
greater rate of speed.

NEW YORK, March A.-Rev. DR.. Lyman
Abbott somewhat startled his hearers at a
Methodist ministers meeting by PROFOUND
ing some of the religious theories that was
elaborated in his book, 1.-The Theology of
an Evolutionist." The Bible, according to
DR.. Abbott, is merely record of human
religious experiences. IT have a respect for
the old theology" he said, land to-day
cannot doubt that the change from the old
to the new method of thinking in religion
is important, radical and revolutionary.
The typical departure is the recognition Of

DRY of Gods creation of the world The be-
lief of the religion that the earth was
turned out as in lathe. The Eible is not

what religion is, but it is a record of their

seriousness of God. They We're human, they
