Passengers We're able to give a
good description of the robber, who
is believed to 'be in hiding with
friends. He is believed to be the
same man who rode on the same
train several nights, apparently dis
covering conditions, and his descrip-
ton is so well known that the in
stant he energies from his hiding
place he will be nabbed.
His work closely resembles that Of
Harry La Trasse, who has pulled Off
several train robberies, in each in
stance following the same plan of op-
Grafton. La Trasse has been a fugi-
tive for some months He is wanted
for train robbery in Kansas City.

gele, who had been told OF the fellow
by a watchman in Council Blu ifs,
found the robber on the platform Of
the Pullman. When Angelo opened
the door he was covered by the ban
dit, and when he offered resistance
was felled to the floor of the car by a
blow from the robbers gun The
other occupants of the car were then
covered and robbed.

BLAZE THREATENS
THE old CAPITOL
Defective Wire Sets Fire in Shop
Near the Aged Structure.

Iowa City, Nov. S.-A fortunate
inspection trip by the night watch
man saved the old capitol building
here from destruction by fire last
night.
A defective electric lead wire had
set a blaze in a carpenter shop only
a few feet from the old capitol build
ing. John A. Row, on his third in
spection trip, was close to the car
penter shop when the fire broke, and
Immediately called the fire company.
The blaze easily was extinguished.
University lighting switchboards
were considerably damaged by the
fire, which did $500 damage in the
shop. A strong west wind increas-
ed the danger to the old capitol
which has been built more than sew
enty years. For time firemen fear
ed it could not be saved.
The old capitol is one of the few
buildings on the campus that is not
of fireproof construction.

Charles McBurney, noted New

DR.. McBurney, after, practice OF

him the father of appendicitis" His
essay created the first general rec

Garfield WON
HUGE sum ON
THE ELECTIONS
Famous New York Gambler Said to
Have Picked Up 100000
On Election.

New York, Nov. S.--Richard Can
field, the king of American gamblers
till he emulated Richard Croker by
retiring to his private estate to live
the life of a gentleman on the fruit
of his labor. has jumped into the
headlines again by winning $780,
600 on the city election.
According to Wall street talk, Can
field couldn't resist the lure of the
wild, so to speak, and Dame Chance
nirted with him till he wilted. He
doesn't need the money, but even
the $4.000,000 or s5,000,00O he took
over the green table at his gambling
palace just off Fifth avenue and at
Saratoga couldn't put ginger in the
existence of Rhode Island gentle
man of leisure. so here we are hot in
the ring again.
Garfield put his money on Mitchell,
the story goes. not bothering with
the rest of the ticket. Odds of 5 to
/ were offered on the fusion candi-
date at the close of the campaign.
but it is said Garfield did not lay his
roll on so sure a thing as Mitchels
election. The amount of the Mitchell
plurality rather was what appealed
to his sporting spirit and also it gave
him first class odds.

DIES RATHER THAN
SEE WIFE INSANE
George E. SindIe, of Bloomfield,
Worrying Over Spouse,
Kills Himself.

Rather than visit his wife in the
Overlook Hospital for the Insane, to
which she was committed several
weeks ago, George E. Sindle, 81 years
old, of 1855 State street, Bloomfield.
killed himself today.
He was to have gone to see her this
afternoon. 1t would have been his
first visit to the asylum.
Since he had not been separated
from his wife for so long a time in a
quarter of century, he was very
anxious to see her. But his horror
at the conditions under which the
meeting would take place gradually
outgrew every other consideration
He brooded incessantly over his
wife's fate. When Mrs. William Sin
die, his daughter-in-law, told him
that all arrangements had been made
for him to go to the asylum today,
all he said was:
Il can't bear to think of seeing her
there"
When he arose this morning his
daughter-in-law asked him how he
felt
Not very good he answered wear
lily.
He went out to the barn and a
short time later Mrs. Sindle followed
to tell him breakfast was ready. She
found him lying unconscious in the
barn. an empty two-ounce bottle of
carbolic acid on the floor beside him.
She called her husband. He, in
turn. summoned DR.. John D. Moore
and Dr. Thaddeus Paczkowski. Sim
die died while the physicians were
working over him.
Sindle was a mason and builder.
He was well known in Bloomfield and
a member of the First Baptist
Church. He is survived by his
widow. Mrs. Rose Sindle, and an
adopted son. William.
Mrs. Sindle fell while in Bloomfield
centre few weeks ago, and this
led to the discovery that she was in.

BARRIERS CLAIM
GAINS IN STRIKE
Assert Score of Journeymen
Have Joined Them and
Twenty Bosses Signed.

Twenty more recruits were gained
by the striking BARRIERS today, and
nearly the same number of boss bar
bers were reported to have joined
those who signed the union agreement
to close on Sunday. The officers of
Local 319, Journeymen BARRIERS Inter
national Union of America, reported
that the strike thus far had been
marked with a complete lack of
violence and disorder and had been
successful in every way.
A meeting of the journeymen has
been called for tomorrow morning,
when picket committees will be
formed to see that the BARRIERS who
signed the agreement keep their
promise and remain closed. 1t is
known that a meeting of the Master
BARRIERS Progressive Union has been
called for tomorrow afternoon. 1t is
possible that committees from the
master BARRIERS and the journeymen
will get together and arrange a settle
ment of the strike.
Other strikers.
The striking buttonmakers also held
a meeting today, when plans were
discussed for organizing the girls who
are employed in this industry More
than 400 girls have been thrown out
of work as a result of the button
makers strike.
A mass-m meeting of the girls en-
plored in the white goods industry
here who have organized will be held
tomorrow. 1t is said that $500 girls
employed in factories have already
Joined the union. There are still
about 1000 girls who are not organ
lied. Numerous complaints of poor
pay and unsanitary conditions have
been made by the girls. and it has
been hinted that after an organization
has been perfected the girls will de-
mand better conditions or go on
strike.
The ranks of the striking laborers
have thinned considerably during the
past week, most of the workmen hav-
ing returned to their places. 1t is
claimed that many or the contractors
acceded to the demands for an in
crease in wages.
Drivers for a number of the whole
sale meat houses still remain on
strike with apparently no immediate
prospect for settlement. A letter
is being circulated among the retail
meat dealers for signatures, which
petitions the wholesalers who have
discontinued their deliveries to again
bring orders TO the stores of the re-
tailers.
AS yet the union workers who are
employed here in making raincoats
have not come to any decision re-
garding the proposed sympathy
strike in behalf of the New York
coatmakers now on strike. These
workers are demanding more sanitary
conditions in the workshops and bet
ter wages

NEED LICENSE FOR
QUAKER WEDDING
The Assistant Attorney General
Gives Decision-Action to Be
Taken Against vioIators.

Principals to any and all marriages.
whether they are performed under the
Quaker" ceremony or otherwise
must first go through the formality
of procuring marriage license. An
opinion to this effect was today hand
ed down by Second Assistant Attor-
ney General Backes at Trenton.
For the past several days this issue
has been In doubt. and marriages un-
der the Quaker" form threatened to
become a popular fad. With this de-
cision of the State authorities. how
ever. City Clerk James F. Connolly
now has no fear of a threatened ep-
idemic.
1t is now a question whether the
State Board of Health, under this
opinion, has not cause for an action
against Justice of the Peace Richard
F. Hopwood, of 36 Clinton street,
whose advertisement that he was
ready to accommodate any couple
wishing to be Joined in wedlock un-
der the Quaker" form without a
license. This phase is now being in
vestigated.
The city authorities have taken
the stand that any person aiding OF
abetting in the marriage of a couple
which does not take out a license by
use of his office, or who acts as a
witness to such ceremony, makes
imself liable wit te principals for vio-
lating te law. 1t is pointed out that
he would come under section ten OF
! the marriage law, which makes il a
misdemeanor for any person to per-
form marriage ceremony without
license. Tis offense is punishable
by a term of six months in jail, or a
$500 fine, or both.
Under the law. however, the city
authorities cannot act. Any proceed
ings must be brought by the State
Board of Health. which is given full
power under the law. 1t is under
stood that action against Hopwood is
| being contemplated.
Mr.. Backes, in his opinion, does not
question the validity of a "5suaker'
marriage but insists that the law is
specific and demands tat a license be
procured before any marriage is en-
tered into. He contends also that q
license could also be required in a
common-law marriage.
When this question was originally
referred to Attorney-General Wilson
through State Registrar David B
South. by Mr.. Connolly, the opinion
eyaded the main point at issue.
Mr.. Hopwood is of the opinion that
he is perfectly safe in the matter. He
contends that there is a loophole in
the marriage law sufficiently large
for an elephant TO jump through. He
intimates that he took advantage
of this technieality when he inserted
his advertisement in the newspa.
pers.
Further developments in the case
are now awaited with interest, as il
Hopwood is allowed to carry on his
practise there Is no doubt but that
others will get into the field for some
of the easy money.
