A Sad Death.

For the second time in the past
three months has death entered the
family of Mr.. and Mrs. B. E.
Thomas, and this time his blight
ing touch rested upon the brow of
little Lottie, aged Is months,
whose twin sister died about ,lree
months ago. The little one i...d
been sick several days and was
brought here from Run, last Satur-
day for medical attention. Not
withstanding all was done that hui
man thought could devise or have
human hand sexecute, the little
sufferer breathed her last at the
residence of R. H. Wallis, in this
city, at HAS this morning. The
direct cause of death was spinal
meningitis.

Field Day Exercises.

The field day exercises at Fort
Brown this morning were attended
by quite a sprinking of citizens
of Brownsville, and the partici-
pants entered into the various
events with considerable enthusi-
asm. There were several entries
for each event and the interest
manifested by the soldier boys
showed that the exercises were
gladly welcomed to break the
monotony of every day garrison
life. Following is list of the events
as they occurred this morning:
100 yard dash.
Putting lob. shot.
3-Broad jump.
4-22O yard dash.
5-Equipment race.
6-High jump.
Potato race.
8-Pole vault.
accompany relay race, one
mile.
1O-Wall scaling, by a squad
Gone Corporal and seven mem from
each company
There were several entries for
each event, and the contests were
good natured throughout.
In the pole vault there were only
two entries, and the little man
won. The big man couldn't lift
himself high enough.
The mile relay developed several
sprinters. Some of them SHOWED
slow speed and the many encourag-
ing words of their comrades failed
to increase their speed sufficiently
to come in first best. The boys
all tried, however.
In the wall scaling by a squad
of one corporal and seven men,
only two companies, K and L
were represented. The first squad
from Co. L scaled the wall and
lined up in II seconds. In drop
ping from the wall Corporal
Hartzog caught his foot and badly
wrenched his knee, necessiting his
being carried to the hospital.
This was the only accident during
the exercises.
The enthusiasm exhibited today
indicates that these events will be-
come popular with soldiers and
citizens.

Judge Bradford Gives Decision on
Matter OF Compensation for
Receivers

Judge Bradford made an important rulr
ing in the United States Court yesterday
in tho matter Of compensation for receiv-
ers and trustees under bankruptcy pro-
ceedings.
An opinion given by Judge Lowell Of
Massachusetts restricting all receivers
fees 10 the fees allowed for trustees,
sometime ago, showed connlction with
the law and Judge Bradford was asked
for an opinion. The matter was argued by
Christopher L. Ward representing Victor
b. Wooley as trustee and receiver for
George W. Bader. and William F. Kurtz.

The decision was to the effect that IN
receiverships granted for the purpose of
protecting an estate, the receiver and
marshal shall be compensated within the
discretion of the court, such compensa-
ton to accord with the schedule fixed by
law. He also held that when the receiver
performs the duties of trustee in carrying
on the business. I'm addition TO his duties
as receiver. he may. In the discretion of
the court. receive additional compensation
not TO exceed the compensation provided
by the statute for trustees.
The schedule allows trustees per cent.

1900 and per cent. on amounts in ex-
cess Of that.

street station, Philadelphia. at one O'clock
this morning. the conductor reported that
a young man. who gave every indication
of refinement and who had been placed on
board at Wilmington. was unconscious.
The cause was apparently from knockout
drops. He was hurriedly removed 70 the
hospital where the physicians confirmed
this diagnosis.
HAD FIRST BEEN ROBBED.
There is reason to believe that the pa
tient was made the prey OF bold thieves.
His attire is of the finest texture and lat
est style His features betray no indica-
tion Of dissipation. Yet his pockets We're
destitute Of money. and there was not a
single article Of jewelry about his person.
The Philadelphia police believe the man
was made insensible by drugs administ-
tired in this city and while in a helpless
condition was stripped OF his valuables
and money. and then placed upon a train
bound for Philadelphia.
An abrasion at the base OF the third finger
on mis- left hand leads the police to the
belief that a ring was among the booty
secured by the thieves.
Additional interest attaches to the case
by the appearance Of a mysterious woman
who assisted in placing the drugged vic
tim upon the train here about midnight.
Industrious search is under way for this
woman. but the description furnished to
the Philadelphia police is vague.
Evening journal., 1905-10-27
WELL DRESSED MAN DRUGGED HERE
AND THEN SENT TO PHILADELPHIA

Captain OF Detectives Donagny and his
men, OF Philadelphia. and detectives Of
the Pennsylvania railroad. are al work on
the case.
Search Of the mans clothing was made
IN the hope that a clue to his identity
might be afforded.
Every garment worn by the man was Of
expensive baterial and the latest cut. He
was dressed in a suit OF dark cloth. topped
by a derby hat. His shoes were of patent
leather. with steel-colored CATERS \
short fall weight cover cloth overcoat
and kid gloves completed his attire.
VALUABLEs ALL MISSING.
But though every pocket and every gar
ment were closely scrutinized by the hos
pital attaches not a single piece Of money
or identification card was revealed A few
letters addressed to James snedeker, were
found. but their contents save no aid to
tho police.
The conductor Of the train states that
during the stop here he saw the victim
on the station platform. Two persons a
man and woman, supported him. one
holding either arm. They were dressed as
stylisNy as the man they accompanied.
As the train was about to pull out, the
man and woman hustled their "frlend"
on a coach, and as he fell into a seat they
hurriedly left the train and walked swift
ly OF the station platform towards the
trolley track.
