Corporal Trim and MY Uncle Toby" may have
fought great battles in Flanders, but they never
participated in greater or more heroic con-
hct than that waged at Nicolet park yester
day afternoon when the Louisville mice attempt
ed to bell the Minneapolis cat and got badly
clawed and chewed up in the attempt,
Minneapolis took both sides of double-heaCaS
and sent the Tebeau tribesmen bowling into
the wilderness Of st. Paul with four large,
triple plated. bright and shining cans attached
to them The Looyvile sluggers came into
town like the herd Of forty elephants IN d
three-ring circus, but when they mounted a
trolley and sneaked for St. Paul this morning
they had the same Telling possessed by the
pup who smelled of cannon cracker on July 4.
Four straight--that will be about all from
louisville as Schsdulemaker Tebeau did not
give the millers any further chance ut his team
on this trip.
The first game yesterday loosely -played
one. Cassius Cadwallader was put in as the
mountain climber for the locals, and for the
Hrst three innings did not have anything. HIS
curves broke as broadly those Of spear
and the Tebeauites had little trouble In solving
them. Cad was wild and kept Georgianna
Yeager dancing the lancers back OF the bat IN
garnering the heaves Minneapolis fandom sat
swallowing its heart for time, but Casslus
was only getting the range. Finally he settled
down and spent the balance Of the time picking
the dust of the arms and shirt fronts of the
visitors with curves breaking with snap and
speed that pulled up the throwing hand OF the
Asron behind the bat

MOTHER AND CHILDREN CRY IN
VAIN FOR HELP.

NEW YORK, December 22.-Mrs. Alice
Linden McWithey and her children, Helen,
six years old, and Elizabeth, four years
old, were burned to death in a fire that
destroyed their home at Pompton Lakes,
NJ j., early this morning. The mother
and children were the only occupants of
the house when the fire started. Mr.. Nc
Whitney is jewelry engraver, employed in
New York. and at the holiday time was
obliged to remain in the city during the
night
How the fire started is not known.
Neighbors were aroused by the cries of
Mrs. McWithey, and when they went to
her aid they found the whole lower part
of the house in flames. The villagers got
to work with buckets, but their efforts to
subdue the fire We're futile and the house
was reduced to ruins.
Mrs. McWithey had found the escape of
herself and children cut off, and she was
seen standing at a window appealing for
help Before a ladder could be procured
Mrs McWithey fell, overcome by the
flames. After the ruins cooled sufficiently
a search was made for the bodies. In the
cellar was found a portion of Mrs. Nc
Withey's body and fragment of the body
Of one of the children.

MYSTERY CLEARED UP
CORONER DISPELS BELIEF THAT
MAN WAS MURDERED.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, December 22-The
body of colored man named Lestor L.
Lewis of Spottsylvania Courthouse, Va,
was found about II o'clock last night in a
box car at the Potomac yards, Alexandria
county by Car Inspector Daniel Waters.
Coroner Ashton was subsequently notified
Of the occurrence and this morning about
10 O'Clock he viewed the remains and de-
cided that Lewis death was due to hemor-
rhage and that an inquest was unneces-
sary.
The car was shipped from Alexandria
last night and Lewis was the occupant, he
having charge of a mule that was being
forwarded to Summit, Va. So far as can
be learned he had no companion with him
at the time. When his body was found
last night it was lying face upward and
there was a slight confusion on the back
of his head and a large pool of blood about
the body, which gave rise to the report
that murder had been committed. Beside
the body was found a number of large cob
blestones and a big club. together with a
half pint of whisky. -
A group Of railroad employees soon gath
cred about the remains and the general i'm
preston prevailed that the man had been
murdered, probably for his money. 1t is re-
ported that Lewis has been working for a
contractor for some time and that he had
usually gone home for the Christmas holt
days; also that he invariably carried home
considerable money.
A search of the dead mans clothes
showed that the pockets contained but 9
cents and this tact more strongly support
ed the contention that Lewis had prob
ably met with foul play. This opinion of the
railroad people and others who viewed the
remains was, however, dispelled when Cor
oner Ashton gave his decision.
Lewis was about forty years of age, and
is said to have a family in Spottsylvania
county. The remains were this afternoon
removed to the undertaking establishment
of b. Wheatley. on King street, and pre-
pared for burial.

WAS A RUSSIAN SPY
IDENTITY OF Mysterious CON-
SULAR CLERK Is REVEALED.

CHICAGO, December 22.-The Inter-
Ocean today says: That Nicolai de Raglan,
alleged woman, HUSBAND Of three wives,
and confidential secretary of Baron Won
Schlippenbach,' Russian consul in Chicago,
was employed by the Russian government
to watch the consuls office and keep the
cars emissaries informed as to the ac-
tivities of the Jewish revolutionary bund
in Chicago, was discovered yesterday.
Isaac LipschitZ, one of the heads of the
Jewish bund and a noted underground
worker" In Russia, recognized a photo
graph of De Raglan and declared the dead
secretary, under the name of Mile. Raczno-
witt, joined the bund in January, 1905.
He said also that "she" had been made
one of the receivers of the famous "dyna-
mite fund" aEd intrusted with $273 the
receipts of revolutionary meeting at the
West Side Auditorium in 1905. For some
reason this fund never reached the Russian
confreres of the local revolutionists, but no
suspicion attached to Mile Racznowitz, as
portions of the dynamite fund.- frequently
went astray in transit.
De Raglan also had been suspected by
Prince Engalitcheff, Russian vice consul in
Chicago, according to friends of the prince.

SIX. KILLED IN MINE
CAGE FELL, BURYING THE &C.
CUPANTs IN DEBRIS.

ST. LOUIS, December 22-The cage in
shaft, ten miles west of Carlyle, ILL.,,
dropped today, killing six men and injuring
several others.
Dead: Walter Schaffner, Herman Schleter,
Henry Mittege, Herman Hoffman, Frank
Gehrer and August Foppe.
The known injured: William Fritz.
Carlyle is forty-eight miles east of ST.
Louis, on the Baltimore and Ohio South
western railroad. By long distance telephone
some details were learned. 1t was related
that some kind of an explosion occurred In
the mine, and Immediately the cage filed
with miners fell burying all the occupants
in debris at the bottom of the shaft.
An Eyewitness Story.
William Fritz was at the bottom of the
shaft working almost under the descend
ing cage when he heard the shout of the
miners above him as the cage stuck. AS
he: looked UP the cage dropped, and he
barely had time to spring to the side
when the crash came and debris was piled
about him. His leg was broken and he
was badly bruised. At the bottom of the
cage shaft is another hole called stump.
A portion of the debris plunged on down
into the stump, carrying five of the miners.
August Foppey jumped as the crash came
and was cut squarely in two. His body
was taken out, but up to noon this was
the only body recovered by the gang of
over hundred rescuers The debris was
so tightly wedged into the mouth OF the
stump that it will likely be some hours be-
fore the hole can be cleared. No sounds
or cries were heard coming from under
the debris, and it is believed that the five
miners were instantly killed and probably
badly crushed.
