Married Against Her VIII.

Burlington, N. J Sept. 9.-Drugged,
kidnapped and forced while only partly
conscious into a marriage with man
she did not love-this is the substance of
an amazing story told today to Magistrate
Charles P. Smith by comedy girl of 23.
She is Mrs. Arthur Schleininger, though
she still insists upon calling herself by
her maiden name, Miriam Breucher. A
sensational feature of the case is her
charge that an attempt was made We'd

from the home of Mr.. ard Mrs. FRANKIE,
to whose protection she fed on Sep

the church and the courts have been ap-

FRIDAY EVENING. SEP. 90, 1905.

SENATOR GoRMAN, 10 his speech just
before adjournment of the Maryland
democratic State convention yesterday,
replied to charges made by republicans
that the proposed constitutional disfran'
chising amendment was intended to bene-
fl him by enabling the democratic ma
chine to retain control of the State. de
asserted he had always been consistent
in fighting against negro supremacy in
the South and that he now sought to
lift the pail from Maryland, without
any hope Of reward. In concluding his
speech, he said:
| have been fighting this same struggle
under various conditions during the last
40 years, and | say now that If in No
vember next we can lift, as | believe we
will. this pail from the State and restore
TO the intelligent white men the nntram-
meled right to control our own affairs.
/ will agree never to seek place and will
die happy man. But l promise this,
if life and health be spared, that II by
any corrupt combination with disaffected
democrats and reformers the negroes and
their white republican allies should be-
feat us in this election am still soldier
and will fight on. The French have a
proverb that Everything comes to him
who waits" And as white men never
surrender, but always fight for their llb-
erty and their manhood, we will fight
until there is not one left to accomplish
an object so necessary for the welfare OF
the State, am with you for that as long
as / live.
This was noble utterance from a
noble man, but it is doubtful whether
Senator Gorman's host CT friends will let
him retire from public life even after the
Poe amendment is adopted. 1t is risk
ing nothing to say that there are few
men in Maryland today who could NIL
his place in the U. 5. Senate.

Mystery EnsOlYed.

Boston, Sept. 29--Bafled at every
turn, and all clues failing to bring any
thing but negative results, the police
authorities admit that with the excep-
ton of knowing where the dress suit
case in which the body of the murdered
woman was found, off Winthrop, week
ago yesterday, was purchased, they are
no nearer a solution of the so called
dress suit case mystery than when they
began working on the matter eight days
ago.

Mother and Four Children Killed.

Mrs. A. J. Conditt and four children,
daughter of thirteen and three boys
from six to ten years old, we're murdered
in cold blood at their home near Edna,
Texas, yesterday. The mother and
daughter were assaulted and their bodies
brutally disfgured. A baby about two
years old was the only one LETT alive. All
of them seemed to have been murdered
with some blunt instrument, their heads
being crushed and their threats cut with
a knife or razor. The girl and mother
were killed in the house. The boys
were killed about 100 yards away. Mr..
Condt was away working in the rice
fields. A negro boy, about twelve years
old, was blowing in field near the house
at the time of the killing and heard the
children screaming; he saw man run
ming after a woman, who was being pur-
sued around the house. Afraid to 60 to
the house, the boy ran to neighbor's
and told what he had seen. This per-
son hurried to the place and found the
five members killed Officers we're in
formed at once, and the entire county
is out in posses in search of the murder
ers, as it is supposed there we're two of
them. Dogs have heen sent for.

IT SEEMS that absolutely nothing es-
capped the attention of the japanese dur
ing the recent war. Their foresight was
incredible. The men on the war ships
had to battle and put on clean under
clothing Just before a battle to mini
mize the danger of getting bacteria into
wounds, and the eyesight of the gun
ners was tested and a per cent. solution
of boracic acid was supplied to the men
to wash the smoke out of their eyes
with. 1t is no wonder that the Russians
couldn't succeed.

The wANToN murder of a mother and
four children near Edna, Texas, is among
the latest horrors chrOnicled. The suit
case murder is as much Of mystery as
ever, and while people were temporarily
startled by that grim discovery news came
from England that woman had been
murdered, dismembered and the trunk
of her body thrown from railroad train.
The above are but a few of the cold
blooded deeds which are described in
newspapers every day. 1t looks as
though some people are, like those Of
old, subject to demoniac influence.

THAT the conscience Of the American
nation is not keeping pace with its IN

yention. For the relief of these cOndl-
