Emory is a molder by trade and
last Sunday during the snow storm,
he was found in a cemetery at the
outer edge of Bluffton. He was al
most dead from prolonged exposure,
and after being taken to the county
Jail, his rambling talk impressed the
officers that he was insane. Steps
were taken to have Emory commit
ted to the asylum and commission
was appointed to pass judgment.
Emory was declared insane and the
commission recommended that he be
bought to Richmond immediately.
Yesterday Emory was as well, ap-
parently, as he ever was and talked
perfectly rational. He says that he
saw snakes and alligators simply be-
cause he drank too much cheap whis-
key. He is violently opposed to go
ing to the asylum but dispatch
from Blufftoh says the officers fear
that the only course now open to
them is TO take him to the asylum
and If the doctors there think he is
sane, to let them turn him loose.

HELPING THE NEEDY
MARCH WEATHER HAS cAUs-
ED MANY TO ASK FOR AID.
Township Trustee Has More Calls
Than Is Usual at This Season
of the Year.

March, as rule, is the first month
in the year when the demands upon
the township trustee and the Rich
mond charitable organizations, begin
to tighten.
March, this year, however, has been
an exception to the rule and Trustee
Potter has been called upon to supply
considerable fuel to families that are
in real distrss.
The Associated Charities, also,
have had much to do along this line
and also in furnishing clothing to the
poor, especially to children. At
Trustee Potter's office today it was
stated that the winter as a whole had
not been one of excessive suffering
among the poorer classes.
A majority of the heads of fami-
lies have found employment through
out the winter months and the total
cost of caring for the wants of the
distressed will fall much below the
figures for some winters in the past
few years.

upon the date and also outline the
program in a general way.
Jackson Park, being centrally To-
Gated and easy of access via interur-
ban from both the east and west
sides Of the county, it is looked upon
as an ideal place for gathering of
this sort. There are four thousand
Odd Fellows in Wayne County and a
majority of them will probably at
tend, together with their families.
Grand Master Hollywood, of Indian
apolis has already given his word
that he will attend the Wayne county
meeting and make an address and
in addition there will be other men
Of prominence in the affairs of the
organization who will take part.
A continuous band concert through
out the day and other features will
be planned by the committee In
charge. June 16 will likely by the
day decided upon for the meeting.

A LUNACY INQUEST WAS HELD
Now Frank Emory Of Bluffton Must
Be Brought to the Hospital Be-
fore Gaining Freedom.

Frank Emory, citizen of Bluff
ton, who, Wednesday was declared
insane, and who was to have been
brought to Richmond yesterday and
placed in the Eastern Indiana Hos
pital for the Insane, did not arrive
because of the fact that it has devel-
oped that instead of being crazy ne
was suffering from an aggravated at
tack Of delirium tremens, the result
of protracted spree.
The unique feature of the case is
that Emory, having been declared in
sane by regularly constituted COM
mission, must be brought to East
haven and there formally discharged
by the medical superintendent be-
fore he. can gain his freedom.

JEWELS LARGE AND VALUABLE
Waiter Also Shares Travelling Man s
Good Fortune by Getting a
Dollar Tip.

Horace L. Smith, Cincinnati
travelling man, left Richmond yester-
day ina happy frame Of mind over
his visit to this city, and with re-
solve to make a practice Of ordering
oysters on the half shell, in every
hotel he stops.
The cause of Mr.. Smiths humor
was an unusual experience he had in
the Westcott hotel dining room,
Thursday evening at supper time.
Mr. Smith is very fond of oysters,
especially oysters on the half shell,
and Thursday evening as his eyes
roamed up and down the menu he
espied his favorite dish.
He ordered the waiter to bring him
some oysters and just as he was pre-
pairing to eat them, he saw two shiny
objects glistening under the glare of
the lights. He picked them up and
on closer examination found them to
be genuine pearls, each about the
size of half peanut kernel. His good
fortune almost robbed him of his ap-
petite for the oysters and the rest
of the meal. The waiter also shared
Mr.. Smith s satisfaction as. he was
the recipient of a dollar tip. The
two pearls are quite valuable and
Mr.. Smith intends to have them
mounted in a ring.

ARE YOUNG COL0RED PEOPLE
Shooting Took Place at Chas. Pro-
fits Boarding House on Ft.
Wayne Ave.-Had Been
On Intimate Terms.

Immediately after shooting and al
most instantly killing Emmajean
Davis, colored girl about twenty
two years old, Mack Profit,
also colored, "a years of age,
walked into the police station at
about eleven o'clock last night and
asked to be locked up for murder.
Profit rooms with his brother,
above Sells meat market, 1S1 Ft.
Wayne Ave. and had just returned
from the Profit restaurant on North
Eighth street, where he was employ
ed as cook He had gone to his
room and to bed, but in few min
utes got up and went to his sister-in-
law, the murdered girl IS sister, and
told her that there was too much
noise in the house for him to go to
sleep and he wanted the people who
were making it to be more quiet.
Mrs. Profit then went into the
room where the Davis girl was enter
tanning some company, a man by the
name Of John Henry and two girls,
one of whom was Louisa Moss, and
told them that Mack could not 90 to
sleep. This made the Davis girl an
CRY and she went to the room where
he was and commenced to tease him.
He threatened to shoot her if she did
not stop, but this only served to
make her taunt him more. He then
reached under his pillow and draw
ing out 30 calibre revolver, shot
at her three times.
The girl staggered out of the room
and Profit jumped up, revolver in
hand, ready to shoot some more, but
ne was restrained and the girl was
taken into another room, where she
died in about ten minutes, all the
shots having taken effect.
The girl and Profit had always
been on intimate terms, according to
the other members of the family, and
no cause can be assigned for the deed
other than her taunting him. The
Davis girl was domestic in the
home of j. 8. Zoller.
Profit, realizing the extent of his
deed, dressed himself and at 10 AS
o'clock, about three quarters of an
hour after the shooting, he walked
into the police headquarters and ap-
preaching Desk Sergeant Betzold,
stated that he had shot woman ON
Ft. Wayne Ave-, and wished to give
himself up. Sergeant Betzold at
once locked the self-confessed mur-l
derer up and then notified Officer
Westenberg to 60 to the scene of the
shooting.
Profit is known to the colored peo-
pie in this city as quiet, even tenn
pered man. He has been in the city
off and on for the past two years and
has worked most of the time at the
restaurant of his brother, Charles
Profit. For short time he was EN-
ployed by Charles Amsden, at the
Driving Park. AT late he has been
cooking at the Profit restaurant. Be

assessable property in the city, the
net value of the taxables of this cor
poration being $753,60O. Tax to the

Prospective Trouble in China
Chief Topic of Talk
Among the Officers and Men of
the q. s. Army.
ORDERS ARE ISSUED.
Infantry and Cavalry to Prepare
for Field Service.
They Are Ready to Move on "a
Hours Notice.

San francisco. Cal, Feb. 5.-Army
officers who arrived here on the trans
port Logan yesterday report that the
prospect of trouble in China is the chief
topic of discussion in army circles in
Manila. The Thirteenth infantry and
two squadrons of the Eighth cavalry
have been ordered to prepare them
selves for field service. The destination
of these troops remains a headquarter's s
secret, but the only explanation of the
order is that they are to be held in
readiness for a China expedition at the
first warning of an outbreak.
Those who came on the Logan asked
first for news from China as they said
that most of the information on the
subject which was current in the Phil
ippines came by the way of Washing
ton.
The officers of the troops under field
orders have made preparations to leave
on "a hours notice and their expectation
is that they will be sent to Pekin.

Today.
BIG CROWD ON TRAIN.

LG CROWD ON TRAIN.

Onaga, Kan, Feb. 5.-The Topeka &
Northwestern line of the Union Pacific
railway was opened up in a formal way
today by a special excursion from To-
peka to Onaga and return. The train
left for Topeka at o'clock.
This excursion consisted of over $50
business men of Topeka, including the
Commercial club, high officials of the
Union Pacific Railway company and
MarshaH's band.
The train consisted of seven cars as
follows: a baggage, four coaches ard
two private cars containing the follow
ing Union Pacific officials:
W. L. Park, general superintendent,
Omaha; W. II. Guild, private secretary;
J. o. Brinkerhoff, superintendent Kan
sas division; A. T. Palmer, assistant
superintendent Kansas division: G. G.
Guild, division engineer; H. G.. Kali,
assistant general freight and passenger
agent, Kansas City; G. G. Wright, trav-
cling freight agent; T. A. Lewis, J. c.
Fulton, N. H. LOomis, and r. w. Blair.
This is practically the first train over
the new line which runs directly to
Onaga, Al miles northwest. From
Onaga the line vii soon connect with
main line at MarySyille, where connec-
ton will be made with the st. Joseph
& Grand Island, another line of the
Union Pacific. When this has been
completed all through business from
Kansas City to the coast will be run
via Topeka, saving the company 100
miles now used in dip to Denver.
Naturally in running a heavy train
over newly completed line slow time
was made and Onaga was not reached
until after l o'clock. A delay near
Onaga for an hour was caused by a
bridge gang not being aware of the
specials coming and having to remove
ties, etc.
have sprung up: Grove, miles from
NGenoken; Della, 10 miles; Emmett, 25
miles beyond, and Barco 80 miles.
Aside from Emmett the above named
places are as yet whistling stations but
with good surrounding country
Emmett has q good stone bank, six
stores, a restaurant and several good
homes.
At every one Of the four towns the
train was met by large crowds and
were treated to couple of selections
by the band and speeches by some OF
the Topeka crowd. A good impression
was made. N. H. Loomis and Charles
Holiday were most utilized, they being
the best off hand speakers.

ANNA GUULU OBES
Countess de oastellane Enters
Plea for Divorce.
All Efforts at Cancellation Have
Proved Failures.
WOMAN IN THE CASE.
Sensational Reports in Circula-
tiOn Regarding the Count
And a Leader Of Society in the
French Capital.
WOMAN IN THE CASE.

Paris, Feb. 5.-Countess Boni DeCas-
tellane formerly Anna Gould) entered
a plea for divorce today Representa-
tives of the countess and the count ap-
peared before a judge who, according to
the French law, endeavored to arrange
a conciliation before allowing a defend
ant suit to proceed. It is said that the
judges effort were not successful and
that the suit will proceed but owing TO
the secrecy in divorce proceedings here
it is difficult to confirm this report.
RumOrs have been current for long
time that the countess had decided that
any continuation of her relations with
her husband was impossible and her re-
moval from the Caste1lane residence to
a hotel in the center of Paris gave sup
port to the belief that she had finally
decided to apply for a divorce. Sensa-
tiOnaI reports have been in circulation
with reference to the counts conduct
and the name of a prominent society
leader of Paris, a woman of %ery high
standing, has been mentioned in con-
nection with the affair. But the great
est reticence has been maintained by all
the parties concerned relative to the
progress of the negotiations looking to
a conciliation and even this morning a
favorable result was expected especial
ly as the countess returned to her resi-
dence.
It now appears that the efforts of
those interested in bringing about a set
tlement of the differences between the
countess and the count without an ap-
peal to the courts have been unavailing.
The count is said to be in the southeast
of France,

and intent of the constitution of the
United States; that each senator was
entitled to one vote and any attempt to
coerce him was an invasion of the rights
of a state; that any senator who permits
himself to be so coerced weakens and
degrades his state; that for any senator
to vote otherwise than as his sense of
duty dictates degrades his high Office
and aSSails the dignity and the stand
ing OF the senate.
The resolution was listened to with
great interest by the sena tors. Mr.
Lodge mad prepared a resolution SINH
lar to that of Senator Patterson declar-
ing that treaty like the Dominican
should not be made the subject of party
action, but withheld it when he heard
that Mr.. Patterson had proposed a res
olutlOn. This he heard from the lips
Of the Colorado senator who claimed the
privilege OF presenting the matter. Mr..
Lodge conceded the superiority of Mr..
Patterson's claim.
Mr.. TiIman objected to the present
consideration of the Patterson resolu-
ton unless it was a question of personal
privilege. Mr. Patterson said it was not
and gave notice that he would discuss
the resolution tomorrow.
The senate today adopted a resolu-
/ ton reappOinting former Secretary OF
State Richard Olney as a. member of
the board of regents of the Smithson-
/ ian institution.
Mr.. Tilman presented and the senate
adopted a resolution calling upon the
postmaster general for information as
to the number of postal clerks killed in
railroad accidents during the past five
years, also asking how many steel cars
are now used in the postal service and
whether the fatalities have been as
great in those as in other cars.
