accident occurred In the city Sunday
evening at $3.50 o'clock near the q.
g. q. station. Konen's companions,
Harry and George Bingham, saw him
fall and instantly called for help. Of
ficer Hough, who was at the station,
went to their aid. The mangIed re-.
mains Of the man were scattered
along the track. konen drew but a
few breaths after Officer Hough had
arrived and then expired. MiIIer's
ambulance was called and the body
taken to their morgue.
The exact details of the disaster
will never be learned. Harry Bing-
ham, who first saw Konen fall, states
that the three were neighbors in De-
troit and had decided to bum" their
way south in order to be in warmer
climate. Reaching Chicago Junction,
they had intended to go straight to
Columbus, but were unable to catch
convenient freight. Accordingly,
they came to Mt Vernon Sunday and
dropped off in the yards here. The
dreary weather of Sunday evening
forced them to take shelter in box.
car on the siding. Here they waited
for an east-bound freight. Shortly
before $3.50 o'clock, one pulled in and
the three hastened to board it. Har
ry Bingham was four cars ahead OF
Konen and several ahead of his
brother, George.
Harry states that he saw Koner
get on safely and supposed every
thing would be all right. He noticed
however, that Konen was standing
7. on the ladder outside Of the car and
when the train approached the watel
tank, Konen swung inwards. It was
then that he lost his balance ant
plunged beneath the wheels of the
car. Officer Hough, who had heard
their calls, Joined them and ali went
to the spot where Konen had fallen
Konen's head was badly mangled
there being large number of cuts
covering it. His left leg was fount
in sections, it having been severed ir
two distinct places. There was cut
up the mans left side and the en-
trails were hanging out. A stuml

leg. which Konen wore, was also
found seps rated from the body. The
remains we're taken IN charge by
Miller Brothers and telegram sent
to the mans parents, who reside at
S46 Jos Campau avenue, Detroit.
II is well established that none of
the men was professional hobo and
that, for two Of them, this was the
first attempt at "pan-handler's" life.
Konen had worked on the Erie, when
young lad, selling newspapers. In
stepping between two sections OF the
train, he lost his balance and fell un-
der the wheels, part Of his right foot
being severed. Within the last year,
he had the lower part OF his leg am
putated, as the old wound had never
healed. Also, he secured wooden
stump.
All three Of the men appeared to be
clean, capable fellows. Officer Hough
after the accident, told the Bingham
brothers that he would take them
up" Thinking he meant arrest, one
OF them said, well, this will be the
| first time have ever had key turn
ed behind me-" However the pros
pect of warm bed was alluring and
the two were taken to the city lock-
up and spent the night there as va
grants, not as prisoners.
The finances OF the three were
rather low. A dollar bill was found
in the pockets Of Konen, while the
Bingham brothers had slightly larger
amounts.
i There is d peculiar turn to the acci.
dent, which has developed with the
receiving of no word from Konen's
parents. Miller Brothers sent a tele-
gram to the dead mans family In De
troit, but had received no reply by
the Banners press hour. The Bing.
ham brothers left manifestly for De.
troit on the Pennsylvania train Mon
day morning. Before departing, they
remarked that Konen's parents had
driven him from home. For this ac
tion they assigned no reason. II
seems altogether probable, then, that
no orders for the disposition of the
body will be received here.

Fate Of GaIicia.

London, Sept. 29.-The hour for the

the Russians will make their pro.

be drawing near
Official and unofficial adyices indi-
cate struggle in Russian Poland
riyaling in desperation and possibly

The main body Of the Russians is
moving toward the Posen frontier.
On its right another army is sup

larger body by stemming the rush

drove the Russian invaders from East
Prussia and now seeks to halt the
westward movement
At the same time the Russian army
in Gaicia is pushing it's successes
against the Austrians and moving
westward with the expectation OF
meeting the combined Austrian and
COW, on the Galician frontier, in a
battle that if successful, will COM
plete their campaign in Galicia. The
Germans are reported in strong force
on the line from kalisz to Cracow,
where they are said to be we'll en-
trenched. There is every reason to
believe that the real test of the Rus
sian aggressive strength will not long
be delayed
Russians Enter Hungary.
Again the report that the Russians
have crossed the Carpathian range
and entered Hungary, capturing
uzsok, is repeated. Uzsok lies in a
line extending from l.emberg, the cap
ital of Galicia southwest to Budapest.
There is nothing to indicate that the
Russian diversion into Hungary is
any very important factor in their
general strategy. Earlier reports
that the Russians in Galicia had &C.
supied part Of Przemysl on their
march to Cracow have not been con-
firmed
Official advices made public in Pc
trograd show that the Germans have
moved toward the Nieman river more
than twenty-five miles in two days,
but according to the latest news their
advance has been checked. Their
front is said to extend only fifteen
miles in length, owing to their rapid
movement, and General Rennen-
kampf has not had to deal with a
movement of first rate Importance.
Petrograd advices indicate this
German advance is a demonstration
to cover a more important action else

the line from Kalisz to Cracow The
