MAKE STERN ATTEMPT TO
CHECK SMOKING ON CARS

CHICAGO. Nov 4-Mild efforts to
eliminate smoking on the trains of the
Chicago and Oak Park elevated rail-
road were succeeded today by stern
measures Men who insisted on smok-
ing were given back their fares and
asked to leave the train. If they re-
fused, private detectives elected them.
The matter Will go to the courts.
A small riot, in which two men were
injured, accompanied the ejectment of
one passenger. The trouble started
when an elderly man entered the car
at the Forty-fourth avenue station
smoking a cigar. When the conductor
told him he was violating a rule of the
company, the smoker replied that he
was violating no city ordinance.
At the next station the conductor
called upon two private detectives for
assistance. The latter started to drag
their prisoner from the train, when
other passengers interfered. The Of
ficers drew their revolvers and forced
the crowd back.
j. D. Attley, lumberman, was near
ly forced through a window and was
badly cut by breaking glass. Former
Alderman Joseph Fl. Francis was
forced from the car platform, and fell
to the tracks, escaping death on the
heavily charged third rail by only q
few inches.

gree the moral and spiritual progress
of the methods of this branch church.

from sickness and sin to which they
were in bondage previous to their COM
ing in touch with her.
"She has enabled many of them to
acquire such an understanding of
Christian Science, such love and 10y
atty to Mary Baker Eddy and such
obedience to God and divine principles
that they too have been enabled to free
many of their fellow men from sin and
sickness in their parishes"

Man in Schenectady, NJ. ", Says He
Can Give information Regarding
Mysterious Deaths

DENVER, Nov. 4.-The unsolved
mystery of Denver's stranger murders
in the fall of 1894 was again brought
into prominence today by the receipt
by a local paper of letter from w. F.
williams of Schenectady, N. Y, in
which he announced he can give infor-
nation in regard to the person who
committed the crimes.

ment: 'I shall expect adequate COM

to Chief of Police Armstrong, who has
wired the authorities at Schenectady

Denver were strangled to death, In
each case signs of a terrible struggle
were evident. Richard Demady, a con-
sort of one of the women, was tried for
her death but was acquitted. and from
that time the crimes have remained
mystery.
