'CHURCHMEN SQUABBLE.

cago, and 1t was referred to by one
preacher as resembling political
meeting in rowdy ward. Speakers
who had been howled or Kissed down
sat with flushed faces while the chair
man pounded for order.
The insistence of Rev. DR.. A. c.
Dixon, of the Moody church, that Prof.
Foster be dropped, for time brought
the fight around to himself, the real
object of the meeting being disregard
ed for time. Rev. DR.. d. d. Nc

ELECTRIC CARS
COME TOGETHER
TEN PEOPLE WERE KILLED AND
FORTY INJURED IN PORTER
COUNTY, IND.
ORDERS WERE NOT 0BEYED
Tho Impact of the Two Cars Was So
Great that They Were Re-
duced to Mass Of
Wreckage.

South Bend, Ind.-Ten persons were
killed and 40 injured in a wreck
on the Chicago, Lake Shore &
South Bend railroad in Porter county,
Ind, two of the big electric cars col
liding head-on. According to General
Manager II. U. Wallace the wreck was
due to disobedience of orders by Mo-
torman George A. Reed of the east
bound car, who was killed. Reed re-
ceived instructions at Gary to wait at
Wilson, short distance west of Bal
leytown, the point at which the disas-
ter occurred, for the west-bound car
to pass. The impact of the cars was
so great that they were reduced to a
mass of wreckage.
The east-bound car was going so
miles an hour to make up lost time.
When the crash occurred the east
bound car was telescoped and almost
demolished. In this train were all of
the killed and most of the injured, pas.
sengers on the west-bound train es-
Gaping with bruises. The two cars
were welded together in mass of de-
bris in which lay the dead and dying
and two score injured. The cries for
help caused a scene of confusion for
many minutes. Soon, however, the
cool-headed passengers brought order
out of chaos, and while some convert
ed the home of E. r. Borg into hos
pital and morgue, others rescued the
injured. All but one of the killed were
in the smoking compartment of the car
in the front end.
Superintendent Welsh of the Inter.
urban line was in Michigan City when
the accident occurred but 1t was i'm
possible to run election cars to the
scene because the trolley wire had
been broken. Three physicians were
sent in gasoline traction speeder and
three more dispatched in an automo-
bile. When the physicians reached the
scene they found scores of farmers and
villagers rushing about endeavoring to
care for the wounded and to extricate
the dead and dying by the light of
few lanterns. Many of the wounded
were pinioned in the wreckage so that
it was necessary to use axes.
Officers of the Lake Shore G Michi-
gan Southern railroad told passing
west-bound train to take on doctors
and nurses at South Bend and Laporte
and put them off at Dune park. SIM
liar instructions were given an east.
bound train, which brought assistance
from Whiting and Indiana Harbor.
The New York and Boston fast ex-
press of the Lake Shore C Michigan
Southern railroad stopped at Dune
park and took aboard the wounded,
who were carried to South Bend and
Laporte and placed in hospitals.

MURDERER TO Be
GIVEN FREEDOM
IN PRISON NEARLY is YEARS FOR
KILLING HIS ACTRESS
SWEETHEART.
HE WAS SENT UP FOR LIFE
The Board of Pardons of Pennsylvania
Recommends to Gov. Stuart that
Pardon be Granted to
James 3. Gentry.

Harrisburg, Pa.-The board of par
dons has recommended to Gov. Ed
win S. Stuart that a pardon be
granted James B. Gentry, who has
been in prison for nearly 10 years for
the murder of his actress sweetheart,
Madge Yorke, in Philadelphia. Prob
ably week will pass before Gentry
is finally set free.
The murder of Madge Yorke, for
which James B. Gentry was sentenced
to be hanged and finally sent to prison
for life, was committed on the after
noon of February II, 1895, in Philadel-
phia. Madge Yorke was playing with
the Baggage Check" company. Mr..
Gentry, who was filling an engagement
in Boston, had, his friends alleged,
been seriously i'll with the grip and
was drinking heavily. He had an en-
gagement to meet Miss Yorke in New
York early in February, but through
a misunderstanding he missed her at
the rliaroad station.
He met some friends in New York
and they jokingly told him that Miss
lbIht was leCtlNlll lue
of another actor. From that time all
trace of Gentry was lost until he
rushed into the room occupied by Miss
Yorke at a Walnut street hotel and
shot and killed the actress. In his
hurry to escape from the hostelry Gen
try fell from the fire escape, fractur-
ing two of his ribs. He made his way
to Fairmount park where for two days
and nights he slept and roamed
through the woodland. in bitter cold.
Being unable to withstand the pangs
of hunger and his terrible suffering,
Gentry gave himself up to a park
guard and was sent to a hospital He
was later sent to prison, and finally
convicted of murder in the first de-
gree. lie was sentenced to be hanged
on April %. 1897, but on the day pre-
ceding the date on which the sentence
was to be carried out the board of
pardons recommended that the SEN
tence be commuted to life imprison-
ment. Gentry has always maintained
that he has no recollection of the muir
der OF Miss Yorke.

DOZEN ITALIANS ROUNDED UP
Alleged Attempt to Extort Money
from Columbus Man.

Cincinnati, O.-In a spectacular raid
made by postoffice inspectors and
city detectives a patrol wagon full
of Italians was rounded up here and
taken before United States Court Com
missioner Adler. The party arrest
ed comprised an even dozen men, and
two of that number, Vicenzo Arrigo,
fruit dealer, and Frank Spadero, sa-
loonkeeper, were held on warrants
charging them with conspiracy in con-
nection with an alleged attempt to eX-
tort money from John Amicon of Co
lumbus o., by Black Hank methods.
The remaining 10 were allowed to go,
though it is said some of them are to
be kept under surveillance and will be
called as witnesses. Inspector Oldfield
who led the raid which resulted in the
arrests, said that proof had been OBJ
tanned that Spadero, up to three weeks
ago, was the local president of the So
ciety of the Banana, since succeeded
by Salvatore Lima.
In the raid a large amount of litera-
ture was captured which the inspector
declares has an important bearing on
the cases of the Black Hank suspects
recently arrested at Marion, Columbus
and other Ohio points. The arrests
were made in Spadero's saloon, and in
addition to the alleged incrirlinating
literature, stillettos daggers, revolvers
and other weapons were found.

THE CALHOUN JURY DlSAGREES
Ten of the Jurymen We're for AcquittaI
and Two for Conviction-Five
Ballots Were Taken.

San Francisco, Cal.-Terminating
in disagreement of the jury, with
10 men determined on acquittal and
two resolved on conviction, the trial
for bribery of President Patrick Cal.
houn of the United Railroads is ended.
Five months and week have been
passed since the wealthy street rail-
road owner, a descendant of Patrick
Henry, made his first appearance in
court to answer to the charge of Of
fering bribe of $4,000 to a supervisor
to obtain an overhead trolley for his
corporation.
Not until each juror had pronounced
as hopeless the prospect of a verdict
was the order for their dismissal made
by Judge Lawlor, prosecution and de-
fense giving assent to the discharge.
Five ballots were taken, three of
these shortly after the jury retired
On the first vote the jury stood eight
for acquittal and four for conviction
Two OF the four joined the majority
on the second ballot.
Judge Lawlor announced that he had
ascertained, before coming to court,
that the jury appeared to be hope
lessly divided. After ordering the
discharge of the jury, Judge Lawlor
drew his chair near to the jury box
and addressed to the IL men some in
formal remarks, criticising the laws
and usages that made impossible the
expense of three months in the impan-
cling of a jury, and thanking them
upon their worth as citizens. He de-
clared the courts were utterly helpless
to prevent such occurrences, and rec
commended that the legislature be in
fluenced by the people to change the
laws that governed court procedure.
The attorneys are expected to fix a
date for another trial on the same in
dictment.

.STRANGLED TO DEATH
PARTLY DEcoMPosEo BODY OF A
YOUNG LADY FOUND.
The Body, Which Was Packed In a
Dilapldated Trunk, Identified as
Gen. Sigel's Granddaughter.

New York City.-That Elsie Sigel
was the victim of a sordid romance
involving the jealousy of two China
men, both of whom she professed to
love and each of whom thought he was
her only lover, has been definitely
learned. That her death was delib-
erately planned and carried out in the
execution of Jealous revenge plotted
by one of the men on learning of her
duplicity seems now almost certain.
New York City.-Lenn Ling, with
his string of English.Chinese ALI
ases and his American clothes, may
never be found but the mutilated
body of the New York girl left behind
in trunk in his room here will not be
buried in Potters' Field. Paul Sigel
the father, claimed and positively iden-
titled the body at the morgue, admit
ting for the first time that the victim
was his daughter, Elsie.
New York City.-Elizabeth Sigel,
daughter of Paul Sigel of this city,
and granddaughter of the illus
trious Franz Sigel, the German war
rior who enlisted his services with the
Union army during the civil war, is,
according to all indication, the victim
of one of the most sordid murders in
the history of New York.
Taken from trunk in a room of
Chinaman above chop suey restau-
rant in the Tenderloin, the body, in
state of decomposition which makes
Identification difficult, lies in the
morgue while detectives are collect
ing the threads of tangled story in
volving the girl and her associations
with Chinese. An envelope addressed
to the girl, found in the room where
the body lay, locket bearing her ini-
tials, her disappearance on June 10,
and a note found in the room, signed
Elsie" all seem to indicate that
Franz Sigel's granddaughter was muir
dered. The body was partially strip
ped of its clothing, tied with ropes.

crammed into dilapidated old trunk,
where it lay for week at least be-
fore the odor crept through the build

and instituted an investigation.
Sun Leong, proprietor of the restau-
rant, who also conducted the rooming
house above, disappeared shortly af-
ter the discovery of the mystery.
