CAME THE H LIEBER COMPANY. 21 Went Washington Street. A CHAT WITH AN ACTOR CLAY CLKME.VrS COMPANY SI'KMiS SIXUAV IX THE CITY. Chnrles Canfteld, a. .Member of the Company, Talk of Theatrical Wnya aud People. The Clay Clement Theatrical Company, playing "The New Dominion," spent Sun day at the Bates. The company arrived Saturday night, after playing an engage ment at Shelbyvllle. Mr. Clement and hin wife took dinner with friends at the Colum bia, Club last night. Charles Canfleld, a principal member of the company, is a friend of Charles Field, chief clerk at the Bates, and In addition to being a tal ented performer In his particular line of work. Is a good story-teller. Mr. Canfleld was a member of one of the original Trilby companies put on the road a few years ago, appearing In the part of the Laird. lie is thoroughly an American and when he took the part he overlooked the fact thnt a pronounced Scotch dialect would have to go with it. At the first re hearsal in New York he spoke the lines in good old English, without a suggestion of dialect. "Canfleld," said the stage-manager, after the rehearsal had progressed, a little way. "you do this part very well, but how about the dialect? "Oh, I never thought of that," said Can field. The next morning, however, the actor started out to get his dialect, lie bought a book of the best Scotch stories he could find and set himself to the pro- unclation very studiously. lie soon fcund, however, that he could not get the proper accent 'n this way. lie was in despair for awhile, until a happy thought struck him. He hunted about New York a day or two until he found a Scotch fami ly. They were somewhat astonished when h'-i offered them $2 a day for permission to eat two meals a day with them. He told them his scheme and they consented. Breakfast and supper he took with them regularly until he mastered the dialect so completely that he could do the part of the I.aird to the satisfaction of the stage man ager. TRUE TO NATURE. "It was necessary.' said Mr. Canfleld, yesterday, "for me to have the real Scotch dialect no imitation would do. By my daily Intercourse with this Scotch family I was able to play my part with satisfaction to myself and the people because I knew and they knew It was the real article. The things we see on the stage must be true to nature, and after all there la not so much exaggeration. I have spent a good deal of time in London since I went Into theatricals and I visited "Whltechapel a good deal. I recall a few years ago I was playing with a company in which Nance O iteal. who, by the way, Is becom ing quite a star, was one of the leading women. One night we were playing 'Oliver Twist' and one of the young women of the company-a nice little girl who didn't know much about the stage had the part of a girl of the streets. She said to me that she -hardly knew how to make up for the part. I said to her: 'I'll make you up,' and 1 d. I painted her lips and I painted a great black spot under her eyes. I painted her teeth so that it would appear that some of them were out. Of course she was what one might call a 'horribly painted creature and when she looked at herself in the glass she cried: 'My goodness gra cious, no woman ever looked like that!' " 'Don't they? My dear young lady I replied, 'you must go Into the Whltechapel district and you'll find plenty of women who look just like that As a matter of fact the girl's make-up was not overdone, because it was true to life. If I were to play the part of a tramp I would go out into the country and get a suit of clothes from some tramp. Of course I should rrobably have them relined, but I would want the rags and tatters that one could get in no other way." EDNA MAY IN LONDON. Canfleld was in London while Edna May was having a great run of popularity. He went across with Mrs. McKee Rankin, who was taking Phyllis Rankin's two little chil dren over to the mother. The latter lived In St. John's Wood, where Edna May also kept an establishment. "One afternoon," eaid Mr. Canfleld. "Miss May gave a garden party r.nd I was invited over by Phyllis Rankin. We went and I was introduced to the fair Edna. 1 was somewhat astonished at her limited knowledge of some things. The Earl of Devonshire, who was quite an admirer of the young woman, had sent her over that day a very handsomely-moui.ted elephant's hoof. The carl was a great hun ter, and I suppose had killed the elephant from which this hoof was taken. While we were there Ml? May picked up the earPs present and said, 'Devonshire sent me this Then, turning to her friend, she remarked, innocently: l wonder what It's for, Phyllis; to put goldfish In?' "Anybody could tee." remarked Canfleld. with a shru? of difgust, "that it was a cen terpiece for flowers." Fire at Lilly Chemical Company. Fire broke out yesterday morning In the warehouse for crude drugs belonging to the plant of the Lilly Chemical Company, l iKTll East McCarty street, but was pre vented from doing great damage by the firemen and members of the salvage corps. The salvage corps workers covered valu able goods with tarpaulins while the fire men were at work, but without interfering in any way with the movements of the latter. Mr. J. K. IJlly was enthusiastic in his prai of the service performed by both organizations, and tall last night that about the only damage suffered by the company will be that caused from smoke coming into contact with delicate drus end chemicals.

'William Fortune, Chairman of the Comntlmlon That Framed lleform Laus, ot Worried. THE LEGISLATURE THIS WEEK MATTKRS OF I M PO HT A X C IZ TO C031C de fork noTii iiomr.s. Xevr 111 That Will lie Introduced by Senntori LeRiftlntlve Gos- io of Intercut. William Fortune, who had much to do with the success of the county and town ship reform bills in the Legislature two years ago, does not believe the measure in troduced by Representative Cotner last week, to repeal the county reform law, will be taken seriously. These bills were put together two years ago by a commission, the make-up of which was much after the style of the commission which had to do with the preparation of the primary elec tion bill now pending In the House. Mr. Fortune was chairman of the execu tive committee of the reform bill commis sion and during the several weeks "cam paign" made in the interests of the bills ascertained pretty thoroughly the temper of the people on the question of county and township reform. Mr. Fortune said yester day that it was almost absurd to talk about the Legislature repealing either of these bills. Statistics will show, he said, that these reform bills have resulted in a saving of a t least $1,000.000 to the taxpayers of the State in the last year. "Although the township and county reform laws have hardly had a fair test," declared Mr. For tune, "the people bf the State do not want them repealed and there is no danger of the Legislature doing anything of thl3 kind." Mr. Fortune said he and the men who were interested with him two years ago in se curing the passage of these bills had not thought It worth while to take any steps towards trying to defeat tho bill, which proposes to repeal the county reform law, so certain are they that the Legislature will give Its disapproval of the measure to repeal when the time comes to take action. Representative Uonham, of Hartford City, said Saturday that he saw no reason why the reform laws should be repealed as his people seemed to be satisfied with them. Speaker Artman, who was sitting near, spoke in the same strain, remarking that if Representative Alrhart. of his county (the county of Iioone), should vote to repeal these laws he would hardly dare return home, so satisfied are the people of Roone with the new measures. Representa tive Marshall, of Tippecanoe county, and Mr. Stutesmen, who were not particularly enthusiastic over the passage of these bills two years ago, have both asserted that they do not think they should be repealed at tal3 time. Representative Reser, of Tippecanoe county, was against the meas ures two years ago and declares he stands in the same attitude toward the law. It is not believed that Mr. Cotner will have the general support of the Democrats behind his blil. The primary election bill has taken about the same preliminary course as that taken by the reform bills two years ago. The House committee on elections has reported favorably on the primary election bill and the committee's report will come up for discussion to-morrow. It Is known that there is considerable opposition to this bill and the strength of tins opposition will probably develop itself to-morrow. SEXATOIt nUItXS'S II ILL. It la to Regulate the Publication of Lesral X'otlces. Senator Burns will Introduce a bill In the Senate this week which, if It becomes a law, will materially change the present law regulating the printing of legal notices. The bill provides that all legal notices shall be published once in each of the two leading newspapers of the county in which they are required to be published, representing the two political parties casting the highest number of votes in such county, except in cities or towns having a population of 5,000 or over, when such legal notices shall be published one time in a daily paper in ad dition to the publication in each of the two leading weekly papers. In cities of 20,000 or over, the bill provides that all legal no tices shall be published twice in each of the two leading dally papers, representing the two leading political parties. The rates of publication provided for In the bill are the same as under the present law. The object of the bill Is to divide the printirrg between the papers representing the two leading political parties. The bill also contemplates the publication of legal notices In papers having the largest circulation in the county, so that there will be more likelihood of their being seen. Un der the present law, legal notices may be printed In any paper regardless of the size of its clrcu'.atlon and without reference to whether they will be seen or not. FARMERS INSTITUTES. Senntor Park AVI II Irge a, Greater Appropriation. Senator Farks will call up for a second reading this morning his bill, which pro vides for an increase of $3,000 in the ap propriation for county farmers' institutes. Senator Parks says the farmers from all over the State are asking for the passage of the bill and he is in receipt of many let ters urging him to do everything In his power to secure a favorable consideration. The additional appropriation. Senator Parks says, has become an actual neces sity. The farmers' institutes arc of Inesti mable value to the agricultural element of the State and the extra money Is badly needed to secure the services of compe tent men and women to act as Instructors. Ten or twelve years ago, according to Senator Parks, there were very fev farm ers' institutes held in the State and the appropriation of $5.0)0 was amply sufficient for their needs, but at the present time these institutes have been established In nearly every county in the State and the present appropriation Is inadequate. "Farm ing is no longer a theory," said Sena-tor Parks last night, "but has become a sci ence through the medium of the farmers' institutes." LEGISLATURE THIS WEEK. Both Houses XV til He Kept Ilusy with 11 ii x I nenn. Doth branches of the Legislature will meet this morning and It is probable that this will be a busy week with the members. Both houses will hold two sessions daily as the committees have now got far enough along with their work to furnish something for the larger bodies to do. In the House this week there are several special matters to be considered. The primary election bill, the Indianapolis street-improvement bills and the expenses In the Skldmore-Cooper election contest have been sot down for special order of business. There 'promises to be considerable argument over the election contest ex penses. They are In excess of $iJ and one or two of the members have remarked that thl3 seems pretty steep. About half of this amount Is represented by attorneys' fees. '1 ne fish and game committee will report this week, and a report is expected from the committee on benevolent institutions on the bills providing for an epiieptic vil lage in the State. One of the bllU provides that it shall be located within six miles of the city of Columbus. Ihe committee on education will be due in a few days with a report on the bill relating to county super intendents and the free text-book measure. Another bill which is to be made a special order of business in the House this week is Representative Kellev's ditch measure. Thin bill is to repeal the Circuit Court drainage laws. Mr. Kelley's constituencey In the northern part of the State wants this law repealed. It is understrod that the Democrats will line up solidly against the measure because they believe there is poli tics in It at least for Mr. Kclley. COLONEL WHITESIDES HERE. He Secures Control of the Louisville Assoelatlon Cluh. Harry Pulliam, of Louisville, was in the city yesterday, accompanied by Col. I. F. 'Whitesides, a prominent business man of that city, and the two conferred with Pres ident Watkins, of the American Associa tion, regarding the Louisville franchise. Mr. Pulliam stated that Colonel Whitesldes had completed a deal with Mr. Saunders, who was originally given the Louisville franchise,-whereby he could secure control of the club and franchise. The deal and transfer of the franchise were satisfactory to President Watkins. and Colonel White Sides now has control of the Louisville club. He said he had secured Dexter, the ex-Louisville outtlelder, as the manager of tho club and a lively skirmish has already begun for players. President Watkins received letters from the owners of the Roston, Baltimore and Washington clubs yesterday and all spoke encouragingly of the outlook for a good season In their respective cities. Mr. Wat kins cays he has the leases for nearly all of the parks In the American Association and within a few days expects to have all of them, which will be turned over to the permanent president as eoon as he takes office. DEATH OF ALFRED DICKEY HE SERVED AS LICITEXAXT GOV FUN Oil OF XOUT1I DAKOTA. He XVau an Indlnninn by Dirth and His Family Resided in This City Sketch of Ills Career. Alfred Dickey, who died Saturday at Jamestown, X. D., was a native of Indiana, and his body will arrive here to-day. It will be taken to Greenwood, where the funeral services will be held to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock from the Greenwood M. E. Church. The services will be con ducted by the Rev. Mr. Tinsley, of the Broadway M. E. Church. Mr. mickey was the first Lieutenant Gov ernor of North Dakota after Its admission to the union of States. lie was a member of the Wall & Dickey Land and Trust Company, of Jamestown, N. D., and was one of the best-known and most highly respected citizens of that State. lie was born at Mt. Auburn, Shelby county, June 10. 1S46. When the civil war broke out he enlisted for three. months' service and re enlisted for three years, serving through out the war with tho Twenty-first Indiana Volunteer Heavy Artillery. During his army service he was closely associated with James T. Polk, of Greenwood, and at tho close of the war accompanied Mr. Polk to Greenwood, where he took charge of th public schools. He was married at Greenwood in 1S70 to Miss Margaret Brew er, who survives him, and now lives in this city at P20 North New Jersey street. In 1S71 he went to Crawford3ville, where he opened a book store, and later was ap pointed to the position of postmaster by President Arthur. During his residence in Crawfordsvllle he acquired some land In terests in North Dakota, and in 1SS4 he re moved to that State, locating at James town. When the Territory was admitted tD statehood he was elected to the office of Lieutenant Governor. Two yars ago he came to this city and purchased a resi dence and a farm near Greenwood and was preparing to return to this State when he was stricken with appendicitis, from which death resulted. He leaves besides his wid ow, one son, Alfred E. Dickey, a lawyer of this city. Death of Sirs. Slarlatt. Mrs. Margaret Marlatt, wife of Dr. C. L. Marlatt, 2412 East Tenth street, died at 3:43 o'clock last night of peritonitis after four days' Illness. Her maiden name was Mar garet Dwyer and she came from Muncie. The time for the funeral has not been an nounced. NEW WATER CONTRACT. Council Committee Will Consider It To-NiKht Other Matters. The first meeting of tho councllmanlc committee cn contracts and franchises to consider the new water contract will be held to-night In tho city clerk's office. It is more than probable that the meeting will not be as harmonious as others have been, as there is a great difference of opinion among the members of this committee on the subject of the water ' contract, and, should each member succeed in having the contract amended to meet his views and the views of his constituents, it is hardiy likely that any person would, recognize the original contract. There are members of the committee who think that eight years is too long a term for the contract as now arranged to run, as it is claimed the city is growing so rapidly that conditions may arise before the expiration of the eight years which would give the water company too great a revenue under the present contract. There arc many other sections which will be considered and recommendations made for amendments. An amendment will probably t made to meet the views of Councilman Daller on the cost of lire lines in business houses and factories and grant ing such firms free use of water for auto matic tire-extinguishing devices. The rates lor city use and for private consumers may also be attacked by the committee. The committee on contracts and fran chises is also anxious tö get hold of the intc-ruTton franchise, but tho Board of Works will not refer it back to the Coun cil until Mr. Smith, a member of the board, r able to meet with the board and com plete tha amendments to be made to the lranchise. The special Council committee will pre pare a- report on the Investigation of the Consumers' Gas Trust Company, which will be reported to the Council next Monday evening. WILL FILE COMPLAINT. Edward Ferner Will Object to Street Cr.r Company's House. The little house that was erected last week at the corner of Illinois and Washing ton streets by the Indianapolis Street-railway Company to house the ticket seller of the company during the winter will likely be for sale this evening. The little house will have to be removed, says Edward Ferger, owner of the drug store in the Oc cidental Hotel building, on the corner where the house is built. He will go before the Hoard of Works and state his objec tions and ask that the board order the street-railway company to remove the coop, as it is objectionable and detrimental to hi business. The company placed the box there, it seems, without tho consent of the Hoard of Works. Condition of 'Ijjrr. Ilennle. The condition of Rev. Mgr. Bcs3onIes throughout yesterday had not changed and the venerable priest was resting easy. Numerous calls were made yesterday by persons of other denominations to ascer tain the condition of Father Iiessonles and express a hope for his recovery. A new $223 Piano for 1C5 at Wulschner.

SCALE COMMITTEE'S WORK PIlErAItlXG FOU A TUG OP WAR WITH THIS OPERATORS. Illinois Will FlRnre L.art?elr the Settlement The Fnll Lint of Ofll eers Elected. The election tellers cf the United Mine Workers completed the count of the votes cast for members of the executive board, representatives to the American Federation of Labor and members o- the auditing and credentials committees late yesterday af ternoon. Tnc votes cast for members of the executive board show a most peculiar re sult. The board is composed of eight mem bers and the vote shows that nine are elected. The constitution provides that can didates receiving a majority of the votes cast shall be declared elected and the tel lers find that nine received a majority. The unusual incident is a problem the conven tion will have to solve. The contest for board members was between ten candidates. According to the count, all the old members of the board are elected and in addition one new mem ber. Th-se receiving a majority of votes cast aro William Fairley, of Alabama; Edward McKay, of Pennsylvania; Jo seph Fcndleton, of Arkansas; Fred Dilcher, of Ohio; Benjamin James, of Pennsylvania; James Boston, of Illinois; George Purcell, of Indiana; Henry Stevenson, of West Vir ginia, and John Fahy, of Pennsylvania. "William Morgan, of Ohio, was one of the candidates for a new member of the board and Is defeated, and Fahy, the other can didate for a new member. Is elected. Henry Stevenson has the lowest vote of the nine receiving a majority and is an old mem ber of the board. The delegates elected to represent the United Mine Workers at the American Federation of Labor are President John Mitchell. Secretary W. B. Wilson, Patrick Dolan, W. II. Ilaskins, Vice President T. L. Lewis, W. D. Ryan and John P. Reese. Joseph Pope and Michael McTaggart are elected members of the auditing committee. John J. Mossop 13 next highest to Pope and McTaggart. There are three members to be elected, and unless the convention decides to declare the three candidates receiving the highest votes elected another ballot will have to be taken for the election of the one remaining member of the committee. William Blikely, an old member of the committee and a candidate for re-election, is defeated. The three members of the credentials committee elected are Joseph Tope, Miles Daugherty and J. Oakley. When the convention convenes this morn ing the tellers will report the result of the election and the controversy over the election of the executive board members will be decided. Another Important ques tion that will be before the convention is the adoption of the proposed new constitu tion. There are many, changes proposed that will cause heated discussions, among them the proposed increases in the salaries of the national officers and the placing of the power to name ti salaries of organ izers and other employes in the hands of the president. - THE SCALE QUESTION. Demands That Will lie Made of the Operators In Columbus. The scale committee was in session yes terday considering the anthracite scale and making up a scale upon the basis that was adopted by the convention - Saturday. It is conceded that the convention will take no official action upon the anthracite scale other than pass upon it and take a stand for the anthracite miners in an effort to bring the operators and their employes together In Joint conference and adjust their differences. The anthracite men con template asking for a 10 per cent, increase In wages. As the general scale has practically been disposed of, the miners are now considering what they will do In the Joint convention with the operators in Columbus, O., Jan. 31. The j un of mine system and a reduc tion In the differential between pick and machine mining will have precedence over the demand of a direct increase of 10 cents flat on the ton, with, the run of mine sys tem foremost. Illinois is on a run of mine system, and the delegates from that State represent nearly half of the convention in the Joint conference. The representation of the operators is in like proportion. The Illinois miners say the operators of their State will stand by them in joint conven tion for a run of mine system, as they have given up all hopes of abolishing that base in Illinois, and the next best thing to do for their own protection is to bring all the other operators in the interstate agree ment to the same base. With half of the operators In the Joint conference declaring for a run of mine system, and of all the miners, it is thought this demand will be granted, but not without a hard fight. The differential will also be a subject fcr heated discussion in the Joint confer ence, and the Illinois differential of 7 cents fiat will be insisted upon. In this demand the miners are not so confident, but it is expected that Indiana will be placed on the same basis as Illinois, If the full de mand is not grained in Ohio and Pennsyl vania. As Indiana is the closest competi tor in the Illinois markets, the run of mine system and equivalent differential will al most be forced upon the Joint conference. By the scale the Illinois miners will re ceive no material advance unless It is a fraction of the 10 cents flat increase. How ever, they are very well satisfied in that State with present wages, and they are now making a fight to bring their less for tunate members up to their standard. The Illinois organization has more wealth than the national union, and the entire State is under the jurisdiction of the union. They now have a defense fund of more than $250.000 In their state treasury, and a system of assessments established in time of strike that would bring in about $10,00) a week. While this wealth has made them inde pendent the miners deal peaceably with the operators, and It is said the employers and employes are closer together In that Stato than in any other in the Union. Will Speak To-Msht. Eugene V. Debs will address tho miners in Tomllnson Hall this afternoon, and to night he and "Mother" Jones will speak in the Criminal courtroom at the courthouse. - - ANTHRACITE MEN" DISTURBED. News from IndlennnoHs Displeases the rcnnsylvanluns Interested. WILKESBA11UE, Pa.. Jan. 27. The an thracite coal operators and miners of this section were much stirred up, to-day, by the reports sent out from Indianapolis that the Unite-d Mine Workers, now holding their national convention in that city had decided te invite the operators of the anthracite re gion to meet their miners in conference and decide upon a new wage scale, which would call for an advance of 10 per cent, over the wages paid at present. Many think that this is a forerunner of another strike in the hard coal regions, as it is believed the operators will not consent to meet the miners In conference. Even if that wero the only obstacle a demand for a further Increase In wages probably would bring about a lockout. Nearly all the dis trict leaders of the United Mine Workers in ths Wyoming Valley are now in attend ance at the Indianapolis conference. Charles Thain, a district organizer, when seen by an Associated Press reporter to night, said: "I believe the operators will meet the men In conference. Conditions are different now than they were last fall, when the big strike was ordered. Then the strength of the miners' organization was unknown to the operators. Now they are well aware that the men in the anthracite region are Just as well organized as the miners in the bituminous region and that it wou'd be useless for them to protest." A representative of the big coal com panies, who declines to allow his name to be used, said: "I do not believe the ope rators will ever consent to meet the miners In conference. A fight was made on that issue last fall and the operators won. The miners got an increase of wages, but the union was not recognized, although Presi dent Mitchell delayed a settlement of the strike for two weeks in the hope that it would be." STRIKE IX COLORADO. All Miners In the Northern Coal Dis trict Win Go Out To-Day. ERIE, Col., Jan. 27. At a mass meeting of miners employed In the northern coal district to-day, it was decided that all tho men who have been at work In the mines that had granted the increase demanded by the strikers should quit work to-morrow and remain out until a settlement Is reached with the Northern Coal Com pany and the Increase demanded Is granted to all miners in the district. Several of the mines independent of the Northern Coal Company had acceded to the demands of the men and the latter, wltk the consent of President Mitchell, of the United Mine Workers of America, had resumed work. It was at first decided at the meeting to-day to allow the then ex isting conditions to continue, but the action was reconsidered and the decision to call out all the miners of the district was reached. This will effect the most complete tie up this district has ever experienced. A representative of President Mitchell will ar rive here on Tuesday next, when another meeting will be held. Cigrar Makers on Strike. TAMPA, Fla.. Jan. 27. The cigar makers at Seidenberg & Co.'s branch of the Havana-American Company have gone out on a strike. Their grievances will be presented to-morrow morning to the company. It Is believed the matter will be peacefully ad Justed. MEMORIAL SERVICES Held nt First Baptist Church In Honor ol' Late Arthur P. Preston. . It has been decided to have the funeral services of the late Arthur P. Preston at the First Baptist Church, where for six years he was chorister and organist, at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon. The re mains will be taken East for burial. Appropriate memorial cervices were held yesterday morning at the First Baptist Church. The organ loft was decorated with a large cluster of La France rose3. The members of the choir, who have been closely associated with Mr. Preston, were deeply affected, and during the services there were few dryeyes among them. In the opening prayer the pastor, Rev. Mr. Villers, paid touching tribute to his de parted friend and assistant, for, as such, he was always looked to for aid in the matters of the church. In his memorial remarks, Mr. Vlllers said: "You will pardon me, I hope, if I do not make mention of the details of my association with him during the last year. I will only speak of certain quali ties of his character that were most prom inent, and certain of his acts that were salient. The thing I have noticed more about our departed brother was his melody of heart. I do not speak of the talents with which Gcd endowed him, but of those qualities that are the true melodies of the heart. He had a melodious heart; a heart that responded with a rhythmic sympathy to those he loved; a heart whose sympathy was broad and benignant and whose beats were In unison with the pulsations of human feeling. He had sincere love of worship and he took an Interest in all the parts of divine service. He was one who worshiped God. In the Joy of God Is strength, and in this he found his power." Mr. Villers referred to the great help Mr. Preston had always been and to his continuous enthusiasm In all matters per taining to the church, and recounted inci dents of his last illness. The members of the church and con gregation yesterday made up a purse of several hundred dollars to present to.- his wife, as a testimonial of their esteem for tho deceased. CRUSHED IN A COLLISION. Solon A. Allovray, a Fireman, Killed In the Brlghtvrood Yards. Solon A. Alloway, a fireman on Big Four switch engine No. 313, was killed last night at the Brightwood yards In a collision be tween the switch engine, William Ileenan, engineer, and a road engine, D. Kenelly, engineer. Kenelly was backing his engine to get a train and it collided with the switch engine, which was also backing up. The force of the colllson was such that the tank of the switch engine was forced back to the boiler head and Alloway, who hap pened to be standing in the center of the cab, was caught. He was crushed through the chest, and though he was not instantly killed he died before being taken out about ten minutes later. Dr. Brown was called, but was unable to do anything. The body was removed by Adams & Kreiger, by or der of the coroner. Alloway. was about thirty years of age and lived with his family, consisting of a wife and two children, at S611 Massachu setts avenue. SHOT IN THE LEG. Wilbur C. Hamilton Had Disturbed c Religious Meeting. Wilbur C.tIIamilton, colored, living at No. 417 West Twelfth street, attended the An- tioch Baptist Church last night and while there created such a disturbance that he was taken in charge by Special Officer John Bell, also colored, who is kept there for such purposes. Bell was conducting his prisoner to a patrol call box when Hamil ton concluded he did not want to accom pany him further. He broke away and ran down the street, followed by Bell. Hamil ton was about a half square in the lead when Bell drew a revolver and fired at the fugitive The bullet struck Hamilton In the left leg. He was taken to a doctor's office, where the wound was dressed. Bell was arrested by Captain Dawson. Streit and Losh and charged with shooting with in tent to kill. 1., D. & W.
