total amount and Williams replied
that if she WOULD pay SO he would call
it square. The money was paid. but
the next day, however. Williams again
visited the woman and stated that he
had made a mistake in the receipt he
had given her the day before. He
then rendered a promissory not for SIS
on the First National bank, in Mrs.
Husche's name. made payable to him
self. Mrs. Rusche. who il an aged
German resident. and who can neither

CHESS EXPERT COMING.

sehIeehter, Famous Master, Plans to
Visit America In May.
Next to DR.. Emanuel Lasker. Carl
Schlechter, the unobtrusive Viennese
master, occupies the central position
in the world Of chess today. His
stand against the champion in the
great match recently concluded at
Berlin is unparalleled in the annals
Of match play since the late william
Steinitz was dethroned by the present
incumbent.
Although DR.. Lasker retains the title
of worlds champion. and, in view Of
the fact that he evened the score at
the eleventh hour, commands the same
respect he ever did. Schlechter ranges
up alongside Of him an impressive
figure, greater than that of any of
the other masters living today. DR..
Lasker himself has been generous
enough to acknowledge the greatness
of his recent antagonist.
According to a cable received from
Berlin. Schlechter contemplates COM
ing to this country in May for tour.
He has been here but once before.
when he came to play in the interna-
tional masters tournament in 1904.

A NARROW ESCAPE
FOR P. R. R. TRAIN
No. al Last Evening, Near
Cincinnati, Dashed Into
an Open Switch.
NEARLY HITS A FREIGHT
BUT THE ENGINEER AvERTED A
CATASTROPHE SIMILAR TO
cOlllNSvILlE TRAGEDY BY
HIS QUICK ACTION.

Passengers on Pennsylvania train
No. A, which arrives in Richmond at
7:25 in the evening, little realized
what a narrow escape they had from
a serious wreck yesterday until they
arrived in this city and learned OF
the circumstance.
When the train left Cincinnati at
4:45 O'Clock and was perhaps about
5 miles from the Queen City, it, ran
into an open switch on which was
d cut of freight cars. The train was
running at a rate of about 80 miles
an hour when it took the siding. How
ever the cool Judgment of the en-
gineer. who applied the air immed.
lately. and threw on the emergency
brake. when he realized what had
taken place. probably prevented a ca
tastrophe rivaling that OF the Collins
vile. O.. disaster, which happened in
the same manner. The train was
stopped about so feet from the rear
car of the freight.
