From all parts of the state, we

meetings, with the Fiery Crosses
were Christmas gatherings. Ger

to Jesus the Christ, who is the cri-

STRATFORD UPON AVON, Eng
land, April 21-Marie Corelli, English
novelist and author of Il score Of pop
ular romantic tales, died today from
heart disease at her home here. She
had been ailing for some weeks, but
was apparently recovering, when the
fatal seizure occurred.
Born in 1861, the daughter of an
Italian father and Scottish mother.
Miss Corelli was adopted in infancy
by Charles Mackay. journalist and
song writer. She was educated in
French convent and much OF
her early training was with the idea
that she should take up the musical
profession. but her penchant for
writing prevailed, being encouraged
by the publication Of Il number of
poems
Her first book. "A Romance of Two
Worlds" was published in 1885 and
was closely followed by Vendetta"
"Thelma" and others. Her works,
which We're mostly tinged with the
melodramatic, enjoyed popularity and
a wide sale from the start.
Her style was far from fawless
and her literary lapses drew sarcastic
references from the reviewers, but
her reply to them was that no book s
of hers were sent to the press for
criticism.
She was an opponent of woman
suffrage, declaring the members of
her sex unfit to exercise the franchise.

CHICAGO, April 21.-Four persons
were killed, one seriously hurt and
one escaped uninjured early yester-
day when a Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road engine ran wild from a round
house and crashed into an automo-
bile more than u mile away Rail
road authorities could not give any
reason for the sudden start of the
engine. Police heard that two small
boys We're seen running away from
the engine as it started to move.
The dead: Otto Bowlmark and wife,
Olga, and son, Irving, ten, and Will
liam Lindberg, who died later in 4
hospital.
Engine men said it was possible
that escaping steam and vibration
might have caused the throttle to
jar open.
Hosea LATHE. negro, one of four
men held in the Investigation, said
he fired the engine, and was waitin &
nearby in n Shanty for the crew to
take it over. He said he saw il sud
denly start and thought the crew had
taken charge until he saw a man
jump from the cab.
The other three men held were in
the shanty at the time.
A derail prevented the engine from
running onto the main tracks.
Railroad officials say they are con-
fdent the engine was deliberately set
in motion, but they are unable to
find motive for the act.
