A TRAGIC EXPERIENCE.
The Climax Of a Womcn's Return Trip
20 Her Home.

10 Her Home.
A New York woman had a curious
and tragic experience. one that seems
French fiction than the plain recital of
fact.
This woman started out with her
husband to accompany him part way
on n business trip he was taking TO
n southern city. 1t was arranged that
she should stop to visit some friends
at n point about halfway on the Jour-
ncy and after a two days stay should
proceed and rejoin her husband ut his
destination and return with him. She
made her visit and when she reached
the town where she had expected to
meet her husband found that he was
not at the hotel where he had been
stopping. but had left hurriedly for
New York the day before. She waited
long enough to send kilograms to her
husbands office and TO their house In
New York asking II he had arrived
and to receive negative answer from
each place.
Concluding that he had been unable
to reach her by telegraph while she
was on the road, she decided to return
home. She was disappointed. but not
at all perturbed, as she journeyed
northward She had to change cars
twice on the way. Each change in
volved n wait Of ten or fifteen min
utes at small junction town. AS she
was pacing up and down the station
platform ut each Of these places she
saw big. pine covered coffin box I'M
loaded from the express car and put
aboard the northbound train. At Jer-
sey City the same box was being I'M
loaded, and It crossed the ferry with
her In hearse. She noted idly that
one of the hearse horses was white
and the other black. She went first
to her husbands Office, but the hour
was late in the afternoon, and It was
closed. Then she went uptown to her
home.
AS she was about to enter the apart
ment house hearse drawn by
white horse and black one drove up,
and the undertaken climbed down and
pressed the button below her name on
the row OF call bells at the entrance.
She asked him what 1t meant. Think
ing she was some inquiring stranger.
the undertaken told her that he was
bringing home the body Of man who
had died on train near the city
whence she had just come and that
the undertaken who had taken charge
of the body had forwarded It In COM
pliance with the dying mans request.
In a daze the woman asked the dead
mans name. Then she fell fainting
to the floor. 1t was her husband

Both these men sent their designations to

BLOOM RUN DOWN AT LAST
Versatile Jewelry Agent Arrested in

NJ. Bloom, alias NJ. o. Brillis, Allen &

aliases, was arrested Tuesday at Dulut
by Postoffice Inspector Frayser, formerly
Of Omaha, but now of Kansas City, under
an indictment for using the United States
malls for purposes to defraud.
Bloom was formerly a jewelry travelling
salesman and in recent years has been ply
ing his knowledge OF the jewelry business
to get c~onsignments OF Jewelry from firms
in various sections of the country on the
ground that he was just opening out an
establishment. He was suaVe and a smooth
talker and succeeded in getting from the
Jewelry firm OF c. A. Williams & Co., 14lC
Howard street, a valuable consignment OF
goods and secured another consignment
the Byrne-Hammer Dry Goods company
These later consignments were for a store
Bloom proposed to open in Columbus. Neb,
He represented himself as an agent of the
M. Bloom jewelry establishment OF Ia
coma, Wash. and announced that he was
about starting a branch house for that
firm. He was a good dresser and wore sew
eral Masonic charms and thus succeeded
in ingratiating himself with not only the
Omaha firms, but other firms throughout
the country, and was doing a thriving BUSH
ness. He would get the consignment of
goods and, 1t is said, dispose of them and
then disappear.
Bloom was indicted at tne last term of
the federal grand jury in omaha and the
postoffice inspectors have been on his trail

found said Deacon Jefferson, that
the only discrepancy in Bishop Williams
affairs was that certain donations had been
raised in amount on the books, 80 as to
make it appear that more money had been
collected. The purpose OF this was to
encourage other people to make liberal
CONT buttons. But the committee found
thai even these discrepancies were not
made by Bishop Williams, Indeed, they
we're made while the bishop was out of the
city by one of his solicitors"
THAT is all true" said the bishop. II
was called to Kansas City TO bury my
sister, who died there. and a solicitor,
without any evil intention, altered these
accounts"
The bishop a the name Of the
solicitor.
Il have Sill on deposit with the Metro

wrong and shall do none. l will go right

at 3l2 Railroad avenue, South Omaha, was
being suitably furnished and would be
conducted for poor colored orphans. The
building was rented from O'Neil Bros.

CRANE ONCE A METHODIST
Clergyman in LimeIiGht mt WOrces-
ter. Mass, at One Time Incum-
bent of Local First Church

Rev. Frank Crane, the clergyman whose
unexplained resignation of his pulpit in the
First Congregational church at Worcester,
Mass, has startled his parishioners, was
pastor OF the First Methodist Episcopal
church in Omaha from 1892 TO 1896
Mr.. Crane recently delivered three lee
lures at the University Of Chicago, en-
titled, "A Defense OF Heresy," and while
these were not so hair-raising as the title
might indicate, they are thought to have
played a part in bringing about his resig-
nation, which his letter to the Worcester
deacons does not make clear.
Mr.. Crane, who was well thought of in
Omaha, came here from some small town
in Illinois and left to go to the Centenary
church in Chicago. He held another Meth
odlst pulpit In Chicago and then went to
Worcester, also to a Methodist church. 1t
was there three years ago that he aban-
doned Methodism for the Congregational
discipline.
