Finally nothing remained but an

Knowing its dangerous character,
Mr. Welle preferred to die in full

Outdoor sleeping, which is such a
fad in this country, is by no means
unknown in England. A writer says:
4 have encountered baby, born
last summs,', who was set to sleep in
Chelsea garden during the hot

dropped. the careful parents brought
the baby into the house at night.
But the infant was restless; could not

The prejudice against life insur-

China, and to have assumed a rather
violent form there, observes the New

little town back of Annoy, recently
fell upon two representatives of an
American insurance company and
grievously wounded them. The men
were not killed, and the rescuing
party which brought them to the

several inches by various devices.
In its lifetime the bull weighed aps
proximately 1000 pounds. the head

renee Iceberg was lynched here during
the night for the murder of Henry
Lavenmeyer by mob of masked men.
About forty men entered the Jail
shortly before 9 o'clock and easily
overpowered the sheriff, under sheriff
and two other officers and locked them
securely in room of the building.
The men then went to the cell occu.
pied by Iceberg, struck the shackles
from his limbs and took him from the
JAIL A larger body of men and boys
were waiting outside the walls and
when the prisoner and his captors
appeared they formed a procession
and proceeded short distance from
the Jail and hanged Iceberg to a.tele-
graph pole. The Self-confessed muir
derer made no resistance and made
no statement. -
The lynchers offered no violence
and no shots were fired during the
entire affair. 49,.
Before the mob reached the jail
Iceberg heard them coming. He arose
from the COT, dressed himself coolly
and awaited the coming of the
avengers of Lavenmeyer's DEATH The
leader of the mob made no effort to
disguise himself and it is declared
that the ringleaders are known to the
jail officials.

BOSTON MURDER MYSTERY.
Body OF Young Woman Found on Hol
pltal Grounds.

pJtal 6CoVn0S.
Boston, Dec. %. THE police Of the
West End district have been confront
ed with mystery In finding the body
of young woman about twenty-four
years old upon the grounds of the Mas
sachusetts General hospital, attended
by evidence that 1t had been dragged
from an adjacent house. After brief
Investigation the police declared the
case to be one of murder. though 1t
did not appear just how the young
woman had met her death. Tracing
the marks on the ground over which
the body Of the girl had been dragged
the detectives found that they led to q
lodginghouse on Blossom street man
aged by Mrs. Susie Brown. Later
Mrs. Brown and three other women
occupants OF the house were taken
into custody on suspicion, pending a
further investigation. Each of the
women stated that she was unable to
identify the dead girl.
On the body as 1t lay by the hos
pital fence were a chemise and skirt.
A short coat also had been placed
over the shoulders and buttoned un-
der the chin, but the arms were not
in the sleeves. These conditions
seemed to strengthen the lodging.

SECRET POLICE ACTIVE.
Make Nearly Six Hundred Arrests II
hree DAYS,

Three Days.
ST. Petersburg, Dec. 29.-The "fy-
ing section Of the secret police, ac-
cording to a report of Project Won der
Launitz, made 5SS arrests in this city
during the last three days. The pris:
oners, who include thirty-three women,
are charged with revolutionary activ-
ity and illegal election agitation" Fur.
ther arrests and searches are pro.
ceeding vigorously.
The activity of the police is due to
the recent attempt on the life Of Vice
Admiral Doubassoff, ex-governor gen.
eral of Moscow, and the assassination
of Count Alexis Ignatieff at Tyer Dec.
20. The leaders Of the revolutionists,
by an overwhelming majority, have re-
solved to ceaselessly pursue their
just campaign of removal, intimidation
being the only effective weapon
against the Ubiquitous regime" The
more moderate members of the Revo-
lutionary party have been won over
to the side Of the extremists through
the action Of the authorities in pro-
hibiting electoral meetings Of the op.
position parties.

SERIOUS TROUBLE POSSIBLE
MANAGERS OF WESTERN RAIL
ROADS OPPOSED TO AN IN.
CREASE IN WAGES.

Chicago, Dec. 29.-The probability
Of serious trouble between the forty
two Western railroads and their EN-.
ployes, who have demanded a Is per
cent Increase in wages, has become
more likely. The managers of the
roads affected met and decided that
no action would be taken until the
trainmen made fresh overtures. s.,
Meanwhile representatives of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers from each of the roads met
to await a reply to their demands.
They had known that the managers
were to meet and awaited an expected
invitation to a conference, but none
was received: Three waiting meet.
ings Of the two brotherhoods were
held during the morning, afternoon
and evening. The evening meeting
broke up with the threat that s.some-
thing would be doing pretty quick If
they were not recognized"
SudAA DOuJdAAA AOAdS VI LuO
board of managers committee refused
to make any statement as to what had
been done at the meeting, which was
of less than an hours duration. The
trouble seems to be that many of the
roads on which the demands have
been made can ill afford to grant any
increase in wages or increase operat-
ing expenses in other ways. An In
crease Of 10 per cent in wages Of all
the trainmen, it Is said, would take
away the small remaining chance Of
dividends and these roads would pre-
fer to take chances with a strike
rather than grant the increased wages
without making an effort to ward off
the blow.
Another meeting of the managers
probably will be held shortly at which
decided action in the matter may be
taken. Meanwhile the representatives
of the trainmen's unions will remain
and await developments.
