Killed in Railroad Accident

It was with sorrow that the editor of
the Leader learned that his young friend
Charles A. Schleusner was instantly
killed in the accident to the all steel
passenger train on the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and Puget Sound railway which
occurred last week near Ralst0n, Wash.
The train was returning from Seattle on
it's initial trip and the locomotive upon
which Charley was firing was derailed
while turning a sharp curve and both he
and the engineer were killed by the
wrecking of the locomotive.
The deceased, was son of our towns
man August Schleusner and spent most
of his life here, leaving WatertOwn for
the west few years ago and was making
good, and future was full of promise for
MIN. He was young man of fine habits
and high ideals who, had he lived, would
have made his mark in the railroad pur-
suit, for he was bright and student,
quiet and gentlemanly in bearing and
conversation, and his untimely death is
deeply regretted by the writer who sym
pathises with his father in his bereave-
ment.
The editor is in receipt of a postal
card from Charley saying that he is alive
and his reported death mistake for he
was not the man killed. We are glad
for Charley and sorry for the unfortunate
man.

Injunction Against City

An Injunction was served upon the
city this morning at the instance of
Sacred Heart College to restrain the
city from opening strip OF land
across their property between West
Main street and Lafayette street. the
city maintaining that the strip is a
continuation of Baxter street, which
the college authorities deny. The
question of opening this street was
up before the city council three years
ago, but failed of passage at that
time.
The fact that West Main street is
to be paved brought up the matter
again as the opening of the strip
would give farmers an access to the
city while the pavement was being
laid, and on Saturday the board of
public works ordered the chief of
police and street commissioner to
open the same.
When this became known the col
lege authorities through their attor
ney, w. H. Woodard, secured re-
straining order from Court Commis-
sioner G. A. Skinner, which is return
able before Judge Grimm at Jeffer-
son on June 12, when it will be deF
termined whether or not a temporary
injunction will be issued to hold while
the suit in equity is being tried to
determine the ownership Of the strip
claimed by the college and city. The
strip in question is 491A feet in
width.
In the papers served, the college
asks a perpetual injunction restrain
ing the city forever from opening
the strip. Sooner or later the rights
in the ownership would have to be de-
termined and now is an Opportune
time to decide the vexed question.

Band Concert

The Watertown Imperial band rem
dered a choice program last night IN
an outdoor concert. However, owing
to the fact that the light was very
limited, the program had to be shaped
accordingly, which was much regret
ted by the band boys. They feel that
a city of this size should have these
public concerts, and they are willing
to give them if a suitable downtown
place can be provided.

TOLSTOY'S SON A
 BUDDING DRAMATIST
Son of Famous Russian Who Died Re- gently Hns Two-Act Play Produced
 By University of Paris

Paris, January 2S-( Special )-A two act play by Count Leo Tolstoy, the son of the late Count Tolstoy, was pro- officials of the University of Paris The scene is placed in America in order to avoid offending the feeling of the Russian auth critics.
 Marc is a young Nihilist whose life Is influenced by two women, his sister Marie, a simple gir9 who adores him without entering into his schemes or Ideas, and his. fiancee. Anna, who Is of a more complicated nature, and whc has ideas of justice, goodness and art
 Marc lets Anna know that he has been chosen by a secret committee to punish the governor of the town, who has been restraining the liberties of the trade unions. Anna tells the secret to Marie, who seeks te induce hel brother to abandon his task.
 The second act shows how Marie hides the revolver which Marc Is to use and when Marc insists upon her giving 1t up to him she points 1t to her own heart and cries: If you ad- vance I will kill myself" Marc hes itates for second and then advances toward his sister. A report rings out and Marie falls.
 Marc seizes the weapon but Anna tears it from his hands and throws it through the window. But neither the dead body of his sister nor the tears of his beloved stop the young man who sets out upon his errand resolute- iy, crying, "To. ework!''

SEVENY-FOUR ARE
 MARRIED AT ONE TIME

Paris, January 2s.-(Special) )-Thirty seven very picturesque weddings were celebrated simultaneously few days ago In the old church of Plougastel, in Brit tany.
 The brides and bridegrooms all wore Brittany clothes--the husbands in purple jacketss rich with embroidery, three waistcoats (white, green and red) with silver buttons, worn one above the other, and black cloth brooches of the bloom err type; around their waists they wore silk scarfes of brilliant colors, and on their heads the broad Briton hats with velvet bows and silver clasps
 The brides each wore four petticoats Of brilliant colors, beautifully embroidered Hue silk aprons and an immense white Breton cap.
 After the weddings banquet to 400 guests was served In the public square and dancing to Breton bagpipes and man. dolines went on till dusk.
 Not the least curious thing about the B7 village weddings celebrated, altogeth- CT, is the fact that most of the brides and bridegrooms were related. There were eight Kervallas married today, six Cores, five Le Calls, five Kerdoncuffs, four vigouroux. two Cannes, two Pages and two Rillants

ing the actual date of the vessel as within 30 years of ths close of the third century. Other interesting finds in- cluded some rams horns coated with mud that look almost like cement and to the touch are equally as hard; some pieces of Roman pottery, and, what are still more interesting. some horse shoes made of charcoal smelted Sussex iron. From this discovery 1t Is in ferred that so far back as the year PIT there was a ford leading from a point well to the south of the river with house ferry to convey vehicles from Lambeth across to the neighbor- hood of Horse orry road. which is still well known Westminster thorough fare. The actual position of the spot where the boat and its adiuncts were fourd is 20 feet below the level of the river and high water. and some 50 yards from the present bank.
 The new Country hall will occupy site greater than that which accom- modates the houses of parliament, but it 's impossible to give even rough estimate as to the date when 1t will be complet ted.

TURKISH SCHOOLS
 TO TEACH GERMAN

Berlin, January 23. = (Special)- Later advices from Constantinople show that German jubilation over the diplomatic victory in persuading the Turkish government to make the study of the German language obligatory in all schools in the Ottoman empire, may perhaps trun out to, be premature-at least there Is still a possibility that the intention of the Porte may be furN trated by the Turkish parliament
 The Turkish governments decision to introduce German as an, obligatory subject subject of study, must, under the new constitution, be ratified by the elected representatives of the people, and already a counter proposal has been put forward to reject German in favor of the English language
 The Turkish parliament is expected to come to decision on this point during the present.session, and accord ing to information received here from Constantinople, there exists in many circles there tendency. to regard this matter as test case of the relative strength of British and German in- fluence.
 If the Turkish parliament, following the lead given by the Turkish govern ment, decides to adopt the German language for compulsory instruction it will be regarded throughout the near and middle. east as the conclu- sive triumph of German diplomacy while on the other hand the rejection of the governments proposal and the choice, of English would do something to make up for the recent decline of British influence at Constantinople
 It need hardly be said in these cir cumstances that all Germans inf1u- ence is being exerted to secure the adoption of the German language, and the outcome of the matter is awaited with the keenest interest in fhe chan celleries of Europe.

MOLNAR A FIGURE
 IN HUMAN DRAMA
HUNGARIAN PLAYWRIGHT WHO WROTE FAMOUS COMEDY, "THE DEVIL" PLAYS IMPORTANT PART IN DRAMA OF REAL LIFE

Vienna, January 2S.-(Special.)--
 What appeals to one as a good plot for dramatic sketch forms the sub ject for much discussion and gossip throughout Budapesth. . The chief participants in this hu- man drama are Irene Varsanyi, well known actress, and one of the most beautiful women on the stage$her hus- band large landowner and mem Der of the Hungarian lower aristoc- racy and Franz Molnar, the author of
 "The Devil" which was produced with so great success throughout America. At the time of her marriage, IA years ago, the actress was asked by her husband to leave the stage, but being devoted to her profession she refused to accede to his wishes.
 The marriage, which has never been happy one was not made any more successful by the appearance of Mol nar, who arrived to produce his 'Leib- gardist." Irene Varsanyi, who ap- peared in the chief female role, came in for good deal of his attentions, and he soon fell madly in love with her. The gifted woman reciprocated his love, asking her husband to assist her in getting, divorce. Tie divorce 
 Szeszi, her husband, did not refuse to help her, he warned her against Mol mar. For time his warnings were successful in preventing the actress from continuing with the dramatist, but although she was prevailed upon to retire to a hydropathic establish ment. in order to forget the man. she soon became discontented and returned to the home of her parents, where she might keep clandestine appoint ments with Molnar. Realising the ut ter disregard paid by his divorced wife to his entreaties and still desir- ous of keeping her, he determined to turn his attention to his rival. Dis- guised as a coal heaver, and accom- panied by two men, he broke into the house where his wife was being visited by the dramatist, smashing the win- dow to gain admittance, as entrance by the door was impossible. Pro- ducing a horsewhip Szeszi fiogged his rival until he went down on his knees and begged for mercy. His wife stood by, and witnessed the humiliation of her lover. Afraid of duel the cus- tomary method of settling such dis putes, Molnar has applied for the pro- tection of the police thus forming poor curtain for the sensational story.
