Fall From Wagon Has Fatal
Results.

AS result of injuries sustaind by
a fall from a wagon of fodder which
he was driving John Keuney. aged
about 45 years. died almost Instantly

up he noticed the horses without a
driver and observed his brother lying
on the ground.
= Rushing to his side he found him in
an unconscious condition and made an
effort to ascertain the extent of his
injuries and to restore consciousness.
However the injured man lived but
about five minutes.
The road through the pasture at the
point where the accident occurred is
said to be very rough and sthis con-
dition is attributed as the cause of
Kenney losing his balance and falling
from the wagon. striking on his haeo,
the force of the fall producing a con-
cussion of the brain, death Resulting
almost instantly.
DIR. B. F. Mcclure of Little Rock,
vas called but when he reached the
Kenney home which is about six miles
| from that place, on the Sharpsburg
pike. life had been extinct for some
time. Coroner Rudolph Davis. of this
city, was notified and conducted an in.
sestigation resulting in the decision
that death was due to an accidental
| fall from the wagon.
! Mr.. Kenney was unmarried and re.
sided with his brother on the farm OF
Mr.. j. G. Utterback. They. have sbeer
residents of the community for about
two years. and both were highly re-
garded. They have relatives residing
in Lincoln and Bath counties. The re.
mains of Mr.. Kenney will be taken t.

 THEY LOVED THE SAME MAN

 Louise, who is eighteen, had been engaged for some time to young caEinetmaker
 A little while ago, however, Jeanne fell in love with the young man, and this caused considerable ill-feeling between the sisters

Paris, Oct 12.-Marcel Fischer, d clerk of l1, had fallen deserately in love with Madame Proux,9ra widow some ten years his senior, employed in the same office in the Boulevard de LHosp spital. Pfischer was of a re- served and somewhat morose disposi- ton and had been deeply affected by the dea of his mcther a year be- fore. His whole life centered in his passion for the widow. Knowing his character, Madame Proux was afraid to tell him the truth, namely, that she was to be married in October to another man. When Pfischer imp1or- ed her to marry him she would an sWer, wait until you've done your mili ary service, and ten we'll see, for .'Ee hoped that out of sight would be out of mind
 Unfortunately, Pfischer learned the truth from some source or other. More than once he used threats, Il will kill you,' he said, rather than see you belong to another"
 Early nthe morning soon after the opening of the office, the few clients present saw a young man, whose manner betrayed strong excite mem, enter the portion of the buil1- ing reserved for employees. Soon af- t,nrWards three shots rang out, and then fourth There was a moment of confusion and then ohe of the en- ylf yes, reoining his sangfroid, ran to the door, and locked it, thinking th1t robbers were in the office.

POISONOUS MISHROOMS CAUSE
 DEATH OF FOURTEEN \

P ris, Oct. 21.-Deaths from poison ous mushrooms are reorted daily. The roll for last month for instance, is forteen workmen dead and three dying in the vesges, where nine per sons have already succumbed to the same cause in the last ten days One workman is dead at Nancy, three are dangerously ill, and, finally, family les, one having died, while the four others are ill hospital
 The extraordinary thing is that ex- perts in fungi every year warn hole makers against the deadly danger of certain mushrooms, but without avail.

They repeat yearly that the time-hon- ored tests, such as boiling the mush- rooms with a silver spoon, are of no use whatever. for in this particular case the most deadly of all fungi, it seems, precisely do net turn the spocn black Another remarkable circum- stance is that only one species of poisonous mushroom is really deadly, but then it is so deadly that one fraga- ment in a dish will suffice to kill all who partaka of the dish. Other bad kinds of mushrooms merely make the eater feel queer, and he generally recovers.

a homeless family. Before long the carpenter and his patriarchal family rad passed the gates cf he Grand Palais and installed themselves in one of the cottages over which was the sign of humble logis.''
 The mother set to work to make fire in the kitchen, and soon had the s1t .-oiling. Smoke issued from the cottage chimney for the first time, and ed what was hapening they joined M. Cochon, and sent for meat, vege- tables and fruit Towards evening the whole family sat down to hearty meal The children looked round with admiration. Never before had they played in such pretty garden, and the walls of the rooms were brilliant ly vanished in white. The dining room was furnished with Dutch Oak, the Led rooms in birds eye malice. But when evening came, the police oommissaire, who had all day long shut his eyes to the affair was obliged to intervene. He could not allow the family to spend the nig3t in the Grand Palas. The carpenter was gently but firmly asked to remove before the gates closed. He did so with M. Co., chon's approval, as all that he latter had desired was to call attention to the large and homeless families.

AN IRREPRESSTBLE CHAMPION
 OF THE POOR AND HOMELESS

Paris, Oct 12.-M Cochon, the ir- repressihle champion of the poor and of large homeless families, has in- dulged in another freak, that of lodg- ing a family, consisting of the father, mother, and seven children, in the Grand Palais. He had tried the Hotel de Vile, The Louvre, the Tuleries, and almost every public office and building from the Ministry of the In- terior to the Chamber of Deputies, in which he had attempted to lodge one poor family after another. The Grand Palais had not yet been tried by him. He promptly selected it for his last family of proteges.
 A carpenter, with his wife and seven children had found shelter for while with a charitable citizen of Courbe- voie, hut they were evicted at last by owner, and appealed 70 NJ. Cochon for help. Accordingly visitors to the exhibition Of workmens dwellings at the Grand Palais, which is just now open, were agreeably surprised when in the afternoon they saw one of the cottages on exhibit occupied by real workman's family, with wffole bevy of children. and perceived an appetiz ing odor of pot-aufeu soup coming from the kitchen. M. Cochon had seen the exhibit in the morning, and the idea at once struck him that this vas the admirable place in which to lodge

With his pet white cat dead near him.
William Allen, a salesman, forty-iive
years old, was found dead in the kitchen
Of his home, at No. l37 Harrison avenue,
Williamsburg, yesterday. Both he and
the cat had been suffocated by iluml-
mating gas. which was escaping from two

condition Of his wife, who ia a patient In
the Eastern District Hospital. suffering
from asthma and Brlghts disease.

for her recovery.
About II o'clock Allen let a pet dog
have the freedom Of the yard. The ami
NAL began to bark for admittance an
hour later. and the continuous barking
annoyed the neghbors. They began an
investigation and smelled gas Mrs. All

FIRE SCARE IN CATHEDRAL
Pillar of Flame Shoots Up Near
Sanctuary During Mass.

The presence OF an unusually large
number Of devout persons VINO auehuen
nontihcal mass at St. James's Pro-Da-
thedraI at jay and Chapel streets
Rrooklyn. Yesterday morning. was indi-
rectly responsible for IRE near the
sanctuary OF the church. and caused
alarm among the congregation.
At the extreme left OF the sanctuary
and a little outside Of It. before statue
OF St. Anthony OF Padua, was large
brass candelabrum. Upon II had been
placed a great many candles by the
faithful, and as they burned out others
replaced them. large accumulation OF
crease rested in a basin at the foot OF
the candelabrum by the time the service
was well under way. and when lighted
candle that had not been securely placed
IN groove top2led over there was a
blaze.
Bishop Mcdonnell was celebrating mass
in the sanctuary. assisted by a number
OF priests and sixty students from 81.
Johns Theological Seminary. AS the
candle fell from the rack there was
slight flare, that caused some anxiety
among the congregation in the forward
news. II was not followed by burst OF
fame. however, and the impression was
that in falling the candle had been ex-
tinguished.
A moment later flame about two feet
in height sprang from the basin. One or
the students from the theological SEMI
nary cav the fire. and crossed to the
rear OF the sanctuary and whispered 10
Father Quealey. diocesan master OF cere-
monies.
There was a furry among tho con-
eregation as Father Quealy hurried to a
cloister TO get box Of sand, kept for
such emergencies, but before he could re-
turn with II some one had brought water
from the rear of the church and thrown
It on the burning grease, with the result
that a burst OF fame leaped toward the
ceiling.
Several members of the congregation
arose from their seats and hurried down
the aisles. In the confusion that FOL
lowed the words OF the Bishop singing
mass were drowned out as people made
their way TO the rear Of the church. In
the mean time the sand had been thrown
upon the fire and 1t was extinguished.
Ushers at the rear refused &c allow any
one 10 leave, fearing that o concerted
rush would follow the exit OF the first
few. and they finally succeeded in re-
storing quiet among the congregation.
Above the candelabrum was valuable
group Of statues that escaped the flames.
The statue of st. Anthony of Padua was
unframed.
once the first fears of the more ex-
cited persons had been quieted by the
ushers. they were speedily restored to n
normal state by the GOODNESS OF Bishop
Mcdonnell. When the flames leaped
toward the ceiling he was pronouncing
one Of the most solemn parts OF the
mass. Members OF the congregation said
that ne never as much rs turned his
head, but continued with the ceremony
TO the end. Father Quealey was also
commended for the unrufiied manner he
mad dealt with the situation.

Government Will Prosecute
Standard Securities Co., Which
It Says Made 100000
from Customers.

TO the two trials Of alleged get

in the United States District Court 4
third will be added tomorrow. Archie
Luther Wisner and his associates in the
Standard Securities Company and A. Ia.
Wisner & Co, of No. 225 Fifth avenue.
will be placed on trial before Judge
Mack and a jury charged with fraudu-
lent use of the mails.
The long line of witnesses who are
crowding the corridors Of the federal
building to tell Of their shattered hopes
and money losses in the gold and silver
mines promoted by Albert Freeman,
Josiah Quincy, Julian Hawthorne and
DR.. William j. Morton. and those VINO
are waiting to tell their woes after
their fling in the stocks sold by Cam
eron Spear and A. f. Collins in the
promotion" of wireless telephony, VIII
soon rub shoulders with hundreds of
Wisner's customers who have been
subpenaed TO tell a jury how easily
'oil wells" absorbed perfectly good cur
rency.
Archie l.. Wisner was arrested on
March 81, 1911, after raid made ny
postoffice inspectors on his office at No.
225 Fifth avenue. Emmett S. Wisner,
his brother, treasurer of the Standard
Securities Company, and George c.
Trumbell. cashier, were taken into GUS
he fr1on I OF II
Myers was arrested in San Francisco
as an accomplice in the alleged scheme
to defraud.
The career Of Wisner was one Of
rapid rise from the moment he came 10
New York, in 1902, to engage in the
promition of California oil companies.
His activities Melted him over $1,000
600. according to the postoffice In
spectors who investigated the case.
The game, the government asserts,
was played entirely through the mails
with the aid of sucker list contain
ing over one hundred thousand adj
dresses of men and women, considered
susceptible to promises of easy and
rapid enrichment.
Nineteen oil wells and mines, all Of
them bearing highly attractive names,
were announced by Wisner and his as
sociates as being represented by the
Standard Securities Company and A. L..
Wisner & Co. The literature of all OF
these companies was most carefully
prepared and well known names APP
reared in the directorate of each.
TO add a touch of absolute" security
for the benefit Of those who might have
passed through bad investments and
grown wary, Wisner, it was charged by
the government, devised special at
traction for his customers. This con-
sisted in what he chose to call 3d.
100000 guarantee fund, which he de-
scribed as being composed of gilt
edged securities representing that
value"
This fund. Wisner declared In his let
tiers, was created for the protection Of
mis- customers, and if any of them had
reason to be dissatisfied with the in
vestment they made he would exchange
at any time the securities purchased
for those in the guarantee fund. The
postoffice authorities charged, however.
that this fund was made up of the par
value OF worthless securities handled
by two OF Wisner's enterprises.
