MARX MURDERS.

OAicers Searching For Bodies of Jew
i Peddler and hoy.
COLCHESTER, Conn, Aug. 3D.
That Gershon Il. Marx, now held in
the Norwich county Jail, is the perpe-
traitor of a series Of cold blooded MUIR
ders probably without precedent in the
history of Connecticut is the belief of
the state officials, who have begun a
systematic search for bodies on. the
Marx farm. -Four murders and an at
tempt to poison another man can, 1t is
believed by these officials, be traced to
Marx.
The bodies of two of Marks victims,
Joe Pavol and Joe Palm, have already
been found, and Marx is awaiting trial
charged with the murder of Pavol, his
wife being held as a witness for the
state. The two bodies for which the
search was begun are those of an
eighteen-year-old boy and a Hebrew
peddler.
The boy, who was known as Harry,
arrived in New York from Russia
about three years ago, and he came
here soon after to work for Marx. He
worked on the farm for about six
months and then suddenly disappeared.
Marx was asked to explain the lads
absence and said he had gone to Hart
ford to find employment. Beyond that
he would not talk about the boy.
The Hebrew peddler went to the
Marx house n evening two years
ago, and he was not seen alive again
so far as known.

LIFE EASY ON THIS ROAD.
The Remarkable Growth Of a Young
Passenger as the Train
Crept Along.

There is a small railroad in Michigan
which doesn't figure on the map, a y

miles long and meanders through the
countryside In a casual sort of way,
touching such brisk villages as Par.
IONS Mills, Sleepy Corner and Apple
dale. Trains do not run on this road
they creep. The locomotives appear to
be heirloorns Of antiquity, say of the
year 1000 r G., and the a%ntediluvian
rolling stock suggests the ark. The
road is operated on the good old easy
going principle that haste makes
waste. and it Is said, doubtless with
malicious exaggcra.ion that a COW
once poked her head through the car
window and ate all the lunch ia a pic
mic basket while the tyain was going
by.
One day a woman, and her little boy
took a trip on the road. BY the time
Dandeliondale and the Junction were
passed the pair had succumbed to
ennui and slumbered in their Stats.
"Tickets!" drawled a brass-buttoned
Charon with a punch in his hand. The
lady woke up and presented two tick

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 31.-The
body OF. Mrs. J. Z. McVicker, widow
of the former Chicago theatrical mani
ager, together with all of her effects
at the Pasadena hotel, where she died,
are being held by her physician, DR..
l.. G. III. Zeigler, who has indicated
that he will not surrender the body or
the effects on the order of her step
son, Horace McVicker of Chicago.
DR.. Zeigler is quoted as saying that
he will start east with the body of
Mrs. McViclier as soon as n few pre-
Hninaries are arranged and expects
to reach Chicago on Monday next. He
states that he has made arrangements
for police protection there and will re-
sist any effort ON the part of the Chi
cago relatives to gain possession of
the body. A conference of the Cali
f0rnia relatives of the deceased was
held in the offices Of local attorneys
here, and 1t is said 1t was decided to
make a vigorous contest for a share of
the McVicker estate.
1t is said that Mr.. Horace McVicker
is not yet satisfied that his stepmother
did not meet with foul play and will
investigate thoroughly.
1t is said that the will which was
opened made him the chief beneficiary,
with goodly sums to DR.. Zeigler and
Miss Boydston, a niece.

NEW vANDERBILT PATENT.
From the New York Sun.

| A patent has just been granted 10
Cornelius Vanderbilt on his third i'm
portant invention for the equipment OF
steam locomotives. The invention is
called an elliptical tender 1t consists
of the regular box for CARRYING tine
coal, back of which is an ellipticai steel
tank for holding the reserve supply of
water for the locomotive.
The first of Mr.. Vanderbilt's inven-
tions to attract notice, and, ultimately.
10 come into use on American rail-
roads, was locomotive firebox that
may be removed and cleaned as often
as desired. Not long after he had 6em-
onstrated the practicability of his fire.
Dox ne turned his attention to locomo-
tive tenders. He became convinced
that the standard oblong tenders were
altogether too heavy and cost too much
to build.
He studied the subject for a. consid-
cradle time and finally concluded that
there was no good reason why the wa
ter tank part of the tender should not
be built in the shape of a tube in
stead OF the old-fashioned parallelo-
gram. He made some calculations and
deductions, and from these made de-
signs OF a tubular tender The perfect
ed drawings he sent to the Patent Of
Nee, and a patent was given to him.

tives on the Southern Pacific with your

The young inventor produced the
PROOF and showed not only that his
tender would materially Tighten the
weight, but that the tender could be
punt much cheaper than the old kind.
AS matter of fact, the Vanderbilt
TUBULAR tender costs less by something
IKE $4,000 than those of the parailelo-
gram type. He got the promised con-
tract.
IL was found, however that the new
invention had one fault in common
with all tenders. II was too high 30

Quincy Adams Sawyer" has had a
great many flattering compliments in
the course of its four years experience,
but the best of all is that which came
from a minister while the play was
having its summer run in st. Louis
during the exposition.
The minister in question, Rev. Gro
zier G. Adams, d. D., rector of st.
Johns Church, attended a performance
of the big New England drama upon
invitation of Miss Helaine Hadley, who
plays the role of the blind girl, Alice
Pettengill. Miss Hadley was a devoted
worshipper at this church, while the
company was playing in st. Louis, and
1t so opened the Tector's eyes to see
one of the stage so regularly at Sab
bath devotion that he was willing to
forget his prejudices sufficiently to go
and see what the play was like. The
letter which he voluntarily wrote aft
erwards, showed how surely the barrier
between the church and the stage is
being removed, and it is at the same
time a high recognition of the whole
some atmosphere of Quincy Adams
Sawyer" He said
Dear Miss Hadley: Mine was the
pleasure of attending and listening to

did l enjoy it that / cannot refrain

He played Hamlet the first night
and it took till some time after mid
night to bring the curtain down on
the final scene. By the grace of lib
eral papering the audience was large
when the curtain went up for the first
time, but it was considerably thinned
before the performance was far adj
vanced. and at the last quite half the
seats were empty. Mayo suffered
most, perhaps. from the same trouble
which proved most besetting to Good
win in 'Shylock'-his voice Naturally
Mayos organ was somewhat nasal;
not so bad that he mightn't have cor
rected it in youth. but hopelessly fixed
by middle life when he took up the
legitimate. Voice correction was rem
dered more difficult in Mayo's case by
two things: his twanging nose tones
were exactly what was wanted in
Western melodrama, besides he had no
notion that his voice had any twang
at all. Goodwin's voice never had such
a twang as that which spoiled Mayo's.
but it is marked by a certain quality
which makes it just the thing for
burlesque performances and just the
opposite for Shakespeare.
According to a recent interview with
Dave Warfield, now playing 1.-THE Mu-
sic Master with great success. he
also yearns for Shakespearean roles
