CAR MAN KILLED BY A LOCOMOTIVE Continued From First Pace tracks and Manley ran to the Tear of the oar which was struck by the engine, thrown from the rails and reduced Vo kindling wood. Manley was pinioned under the debris and his head was crushed in a shock ing manner, but he did not die instant ly. Kibbey was injured about the head and the train crew hurried both men to the Soo passenger station, in North Minneapolis, and they were taken to the city hospital. Manley showed some semblance of life when he was placed on the stretch er at the depot, but by the time the hospital was reached he was dead and the patrol wagon took him to the morgue. Kibbey is greatly exercised over the affair. He takes the blame for the ac cident upon himself, for he says he was not watching the tracks as he should and did not stop at the railroad cross ing for the reason he had no pas sengers. He stood at his post and es cap>d with injuries about the head. "It is all my fault," said he to the po liceman who accompanied the wagon which took the two to the city hospital. "I should have stopped the car, but did not because there were no passen gers and look tlfe chance to go across. When I saw the engine I made an at tempt to get away but was too late. Manley ran to the rear of the car and was killed when the car was struck." At the hospital Kibbey insisted that Manley should have attention first and walked to the receiving room where the surgeons prC^ptly said that Man ley was dead. It was not until then that he would consent to receive at tention. Manley was about thirty years of age and had been employed by the street railway company for about six months as an "'extra" and conductor on the "stub" line. He was un married and boarded at 21 Mill street northeast. May Free Three Men With the death of Manley, one of the most important witnesses against Kal derwit, Kolb and Hammond, who are accused of killing little Freddie King at the time^of the Columbia Heights saloon was held" up, is removed. Manley positively identified the three men as those he carried to the scene of the murder. He saw them in the cen tral police station and also at the ex amination at Anoka, and was most positive in his identification. With his death the prosecution loses a most val uable witness, for he furnished the connecting link in the chain of circum stantial evidence which traced the men as far as Twenty-ninth avenue northeast and Central, where the "stub"' line starts. Kibbey is about thirty-one years of age and lived with his family at 511 Central avenue.. At the city hospital It is said he will recover, although he Is almost prostrated with grief, since he was responsible for the death of his companion for failing to stop at the railway crossing as required by the rules of the company. .

Waited for Death A week ago Ed Jones, of Tomah, "W is.. retired to his room in a cheap hotel on Washington avenue south, swallowed a quantity of morphine, lighted a cigar and laid down on the bed waiting for death. His body was found the next day, but no one. claimed it and it was taken to the morgue. Yesterday a cousin came from Tomah. identified the remains and took the body home for burial. Jones is said to have been of a way ward disposition, and. while he would work during the summer, he spent the winters at his mothejjs liome in Wiscon sin. He is believed to have a wife in some North Dakota town.

Miller, the member of the salvage corps who lost his life in the fire which destroyed the Peck building Tuesday night, was held yesterday afternoon from his late res idence, 646 Jefferson street northeast, yesterday afternoon. Rev. Christian Hohn, of the Central German Methodist church, had charge of the services, and the members of the salvage corps attended in a body. The pallbearers were members of the corps. The interment was at St. Paul. No trace of the body of John Fel lows, the fireman who perished in the fire-4n the Boutell building, has been found, and it is unlikely his re mains will be uncovered for several days, if~at all. Early yesterday morning the Boutell Bros.' safe was uncovered fro^i the debris and opened. Its contents were watersoaked but the records were leg ible, and all night men were at work drying the sheets in the big books.

The firm is filling all orders from the stock of the New England Furniture and Carpet company. The Powers Mercantile company is planning to resume business in some departments today. The employes have been paid their full salaries, al though the store has been closed since the fire. Rapid progress has been made in the adjustment of the insurance and it is believed the store will be opened today. FIGHT THE BONDS Persons Against Proposition Oppose "Curative" Act Although the people of the city of Minneapolis voted against bonding themselves for $1,200,000 in addition to the load of debt under which the mu nicipality is laboring, the"re is a dis position on the part of the so-called business interests to bring pressure— as they have in the past —upon the legislature for the purpose of securing a "curative" act which will make it possible for the city council to issue $1,000,000 bonds for a filtration plant in spite of the fact that they were vot ed down by the people. This pressure has been exerted and now the voters who opposed- the bonds are being heard from, and the first of the anti-bond meetings, as they are called, will be held tomorrow evening at Hultman's halL 2326 Central ave nue, in Northeast Minneapolis, and the committee in charge of the meeting has invited the aldermen and members of the legislature to be present. ANTI-SALOON FOLKS HOLD A SESSION They Gather at the Lyceum and Hear Addresses From Orators The people of Minneapolis who are op posed to the saloons held a mass meeting at the Lyceum (heater yesterday after noon. Rev. M. D. Shutter presided, and the speakers were Rev. J. M. Cleary, of Minneapolis, pastor of St. Charles Catho lic church, who said it was an augury of the excellent feeling between the creeds when an audience composed largely of Protestants applauded a Catholic priest when he arose to speak. Rev. P. A. Baker, of Columbus, Ohio, one of the officer.* of the National Anti- Saloon league, made a short address, dur ing which he argued for the nomination of teetotalers for office and insisted upon a third, party. At the end of the meeting a collection was taken up. POPE PIUS SUFFERS FROM GOUT ATTACK Pontiff Is Unable to Walk to Partici • pate in St. Peter Ceremonies ROME.

It was murh remarked that Pope Pius, instead of walking to St. Peter's, as had been arranged, went in the sedia gestatoria, although that mode of travel invaria bly causes him nausea. He was un able today to walk because of gout, from which he has suffered so much the last few days that he was obliged to sit during audiences. ENGLISH MARKET FOR COTTON GOODS ACTIVE Merchants Would Place Orders If Im mediate Delivery Was Obtainable MANCHESTER, Dec. 18.—The mar ket for cotton goods was rather more active last week, resulting from the slightly improved turnover, although probably below recent figures. Several merchants would place orders if moder ately early delivery was obtainable. Occasionally, when «nanufaeturers were inclined to meet buyers' figures, business was transacted.

THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1904 LEGISLATORS QUIT CAPITAL FOR HOIS Inaugural Ball Is Sole Question Before the Lower House WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 18,—The exodus of members of the house from the city since the adjournment Friday indicates-that the lower branch of con gress will be without a quorum when it meets tomorrow. Should this be the case, and should any member make the point on the floor of the chamber, the only thing that can be done is to ad journ from day to day until Wednes day, when the Christmas holiday re cess until Jan. 4 begins. The Question of where the inaugural ball shall be held is the only matter of legislation in sight in the house for the week.

The socialistic revolu tionary party In St. Petersburg has de cided to abstain from further demon strations, many of their leaders having been arrested or wounded on Dec. 11, and no. further trouble is likely unless mobilization of reserves is proclaimed for this city or in the event of the fall of Port Arthur. Meanwhile a group of lawyers is collecting evidence upon which they propose to institute pro ceedings against the police for the al leged ill treatment of prisoners in the affair of Dec. 11. A meeting of 404 undergraduate girls of the medical institute today passed resolutions of sympathy with Sasoneff, who on Dee. 13 was sentenced to im-. prisonment for life for the murder of Minister of the Interior yon Plehve.

JAPANESE GONTINUE FIRE ON RUSS LINE MUKDEN, Dec. 18.—Artillery fire still continues along the front of the Russian army. It was particularly severe on Dec. 15, when the Japanese* made a demon stration against the Russian advanced po sition along the river. The Russian camp presents a pictur esque appearance. The sides of the hills and plain surrounding the villages are dotted with mud huts and little chim neys of dugouts from which smoke is rising. This habitations of common sol diers are even more comfortable than the officers' quarters in Chinese, houses. The huts for the enlisted men are well built, roomy, with small glass windows, and each is provided with a sheet iron stove. The men have every comfort pos sible, including great quantities of warm clothing and-heat producing food. The transports are working well, as the roads - are In good condition and frozen. Large quantitfes of hay are being brought in from Northern Manchuria by wagons. The stores in Mukden are well stocked with every.class of goods, but prices are extremely high. The rouble has depre ciated in value as the result of the stop page in the shipment of silver. The sup ply of Chinese merchandise coming to Manchuria has also-been cut eft. There are in Mukden 28,000 Chinese refugees who are being cared for by Chinese of ficials and missionaries. The feeding of these will become a problem unless the Chinese^are allowed to bring grain from northern granaries. The weather continues clear and cold. The lowest temperature yet reached is 10 degrees below zefo, Fahrenheit. Japanese Burn in Mole LONDON, Dec. 19.—A special dispatch from Tokyo reports that the Japanese naval bombardment on Dec. 17 sank a Russian torpedo boat at Port Arthur. » According- to the Daily Telegraph's Chi fu messenger from the Japanese lines at Port Arthur the Russians have prepared around the fortification at Panlung a mole 600 yards long and thirty feet wide, which they filled with petroleum to a depth of several feet, then covered with wood and straw. In the course of an at tack upon the forts early in December the Japanese storming party sank into J.is morass, which the Russians fired with electric, connection, causing a conflagra tion which lasted a night and day In which hundreds of Japanese were burned to death, but the second night the trench having dried up the Japanese advanced in small detachments protected .with wooden shields and engaged in a savage bayonet fight. The Japanese, the report continues, made prisoners of 152 Russians.

PETERSBIT.G. Dec. 18.— Admiral Bierlieff, who has gone to Libau to super intend the construction and preparation of war vessels still in the Baltic sea, with. I a view to their dispatch in case of neces sity to the far East, in a witty and caustic letter to the press, has administered a re buke to those naval officers who have been engaged in a controversy in the news papers relative to the subject whether Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron is strong enough to cope with the ships of Vice Admiral Togo without being rein forced. , Admiral TBf»jheff expresses an affirma tive opinion on this subject, saying that MAKES 4 SACRIFICE TO WIFE NO. 1 .—n~-|» ■^^'iliStf^^^tmSSSmSSSlmStS^rT^ i-nrM*/^^TVi'^HCILM«-''Agßi!'iTfM^i 'I'wjißHa^^HfK^^sßKv''*- * * otL " - -\ Bil BBu ■KBBp^ffsi^?^'K^K\ n til I jjOf^Bl ""^^^^Bh B»?\ mIBSh >~- WJbB&VSbBI BBB*^' *<»m 3 mtU BJwT/jBJ Bb^^ :> : Bb^' ■' ta Bb bßbßß*^*?'

Nevertheless he considers it absolutely vital to prepare a third squadron should It become necessary to support or re place the second squadron. The admiral says every day's delay is a misdemeanor and every week's a crime. It is the duty of the naval ofncera, therefore, he remarks with grim humor, to lay aside the pen until the war is over and attend to. business. There is no time now to try to locate the blame for the fact that Russia's navy was no better prepared. "As a matter of fact." Admiral Bierlieff says, "we are all guilty. If our heads are still on our shoulders it is due to the forbearance of my long suffering em peror." AGED MAN SUSTAINS PAINFUL OPERATION Will Survive Amputation of Leg De spite His Advanced Years Special to The Globe SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. Dec. 18.—To have withstood the amputation of a leg after having passed his seventy-second milestone, was the experience of John Mashek, a prominent resident of Kim ball. The aged man about a week ago ac cidentally dropped a loaded rifle, which was of 44-caliber. In dropping, the weapon was discharged. The bullet struck him just above the ankle and shattered the bones in a frightful man ner. It was decided to amputate his leg in order to save his life, and three physicians performed the operation. While he stood the operation well, it was feared that owing to his great age he would not be able to survive. But he continues to do nicely and is bearing his misfortune quite cheerfully. AMERICAN INFLUENCE ON ENGLISH STOCKS Business in London Was Restricted, but Better Than Expected LONDON, Dec. 18.—The stock mar ket was irregular last week, mainly under the influence of the American market and on account of the violent fluctuation in the latter, the absence of serious trouble was regarded as decid edly satisfactory. Business was very much restricted, but there was less uneasiness as to the probable develop ments in Wall street than might have been expected, and prices all around were better and steadier. , Accounts for a raise in American railroad securities proved much small er than had been expected, never the-: less the carrying over rates were heavy. Other markets presented no special features. Thanks to Press Club NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—Mrs. Dorothy Stanley, widow of the late Sir Henry M. Stanley, has written- a letter from London to the New York.Press club, ac knowledging- the receipt of resolutions which the club adopted at the time of her husband's death, in which she ex pressed her love for the United States, the country which became her hus band's "foster nlotfrerland."

Odell, at wliich it is expected the question of th^Junior sen atorship will come up. It is also an nounced that a number of other state leaders will come to the city in the course of the week to meet Mr. Platt. Gov.-elect Higgins is expected in New York before Saturday, and Senator Platt will probably have a conference with him. FOUGHT IN PRISON LIKE A DEMON Ira Marlatt Forgot His Good Resolves and Cut Prisoner Into Ribbons COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 18.—The marvelous muscular power of Ira Mar latt, serving a life sentence in the pen itentiary for murder and known as the "prison demon," was exhibited this morning in defending himself against the murderous attack of a negro des perado called "One Ear" Jones. For years Marlatt was perfectly in tractable and was truly a terror to both guards and inmates, and he was inclosed in a separate cage like a wild animal. Four years ago a policy of kindness was inaugurated by then Warden Darby, and until today Marlatt has been walking about the prison hos pital, where. he is employed, in the most mild mannered fashion, enjoying the fullest confidence of the officials. The attack by Jones was made from behind with a heavy buckle and belt, the first blow laying the "demon's" scalp open for two. inches. Warding off the shower of blows that followed, Marlatt reached into his pocket and dcew out a small penknife. His old savage instinct had returned and was in full possession of him. Like a panther he evaded his giant adversary and began his defense. The knife was so small as not to be observed by an eyewitness, who also saw Jones go tumbling down as if from a fist blow. He arose and clinched, but not to at tack.' He was whipped and was fight ing for his life. When the guards reached the struggling pair and sepa rated them the negro fell exhausted with blood gushing from his stabs. When Dr. Thomas, the prison physi cian, began to administer surgical treatment he was astounded at Jones' condition. The first blow had severed two ribs from the breast bone, the cartilage being cleanly cut through. The second laid open the great chest muscles, which in Jones are as hard as iroa, for several inches. The third cut the wrist of the right arm trans versely and actually disjointed it, the hand being turned squarely back. The first blow, which severed the ribs, also opened the lung cavity. It required al most two hours' work to close the gashes which were made in what seem ed the twinkling of an eye. The pow er that drove the tiny sliver of steel must have been enormous. The won der is that the -instrument did not break. Marlatt is a low sized, soft voiced man, who is, no doubt, a little touched mentally over his troubles. His mus cular power is aided by dextrous agil ity, as those who fought with him in the old days know. At one time it was tacitly understood among the guards that he was to be killed at the next outbreak. That.was before the rule of kindness was employed in his case. Jones' attack on him was caused by the suspicion -that he had been instru mental in causing a change of employ ment. Aged Mason Found Dead NEW YORK. Dec. 18.—James P. San ders, aged eighty-six, believed to be the oldest past master of the Order of Odd Fellows in this country, was found as phyxiated by gas in his home in Yonkers today. He failed to turn off the gas from a heater in his room before retiring. Mr. Sanders?, at the time of his death, was grand sire of the sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows in the United States. lowa Priest May Be Chaplain Special to The Globe D. C./ Dec. IS.—Rev. Father George J. Waring, of Dubuque, lowa, has-been designated for examina tion for a chaplaincy in the army, pre liminary to appointment to one of the vacancies now existing. Another vacancy which will soon occur by reason of the resignation of Chaplain John C. Gran ville. Fourteenth cavalry, will also - be filled by the appointment of a Ronfan Catholic clergyman. "~ VERMONT MM IS TO HANG FEB. 3 First Execution in Green Moun- tain State for Twenty-two • Years WINBSOR, Vt., Dec. 18. — No one can see Mrs. Mary Rogers, condemned to death by hanging Feb. 3, 1905. She Is in her solitary cell in the state pris on here, and has been since Nov. 1. All published reports* of interviews with her since that time are untrue. Mrs. Rogers has not suffered men tally to such a degree that it has un dermined her health or aged Her looks. Oh the contrary, from the freely ex pressed opinions of the members of the legislative committee which jour neyed from Montpelier to Windsor the other day to make the biennial inspec tion of the institution, she is doing lit tle, worrying. The members saw her on their rounds of the prison, and the remark made by one of them later that she "looked fine" w ras concurred in by the others. Other, information trickling out from the guards who have had charge of her denotes that her mental attitude toward the terrible nature of her crime or her present" situation is of a light minded nature. Expects Stay From Governor She expects that the governor will order a stay of proceedings, which w'^. throw the onus of her execution upon another legislature,-two years hence, when her chances are again good for having her sentence commut ed to life imprisonment. She does not fret under the prison discipline, and indeed, now that she is in solitary confinement, the hours of rising and compulsory work are not as rigid as when she formed in line and went forth to daily labor about the in stitution. The matron gives her such occupa tion as can be taken up in her cell, and sees to her meals and other require ments. She can see any of the town clergymen she chooses, but up to now Chaplain Fuller, of the prison, has been her spiritual adviser. Her mother will be admitted whenever she tan come, but it is quite a journey from Hoosick Falls for Mrs. Callighan in her present state of health and finances. To all others admittance is refused. Sheriff Henry H. Peck, of Windsor county, who Is to be the hangman, took office Dec. 1, after sixteen years' service as deputy sheriff. He is not looking forward to his job with any relish. He- is a veteran of the Civil war, and a native of Weston. After the Civil war he engaged in the chair manufacturing business in Hartford, where his residence now is. While deputy sheriff his office was in White River Junction. He is a widower, hav ing lost his wife last fall. Limit on the Spectators The cards of admfssion to be issued for ttie hanging will all come from Sheriff Peck. The law allows no more than 100 spectators at an affair of this kind, and it has been the custom of conservative Vermonters to limit the number to twenty-five, including the medical men, the clergymen, relatives of the prisoner and the superintendent of the prison. Mr. Peck has already promised some 6f the tickets. -> The gallows to be used is the same 'used twenty-two years" ago, when the last murderer to be hanged in the state was dealt with. The machine was then taken to pieces and put away. It is not because there has been no murder done in Vermont for twenty-two years that it has not been used since Emellne Meaker was hung. Murders have been rather frequent, but the power of the legislature to commute sentence or to approve of sending to the asylum for the Insane have been worked to the utmost, and there are at present three murderers under commuted sentence in the state prison and a couple in the hospital for the insane. BIBLE STUDENT WINS FIGHT AT COLLEGE Pugilistic Event in Which Pupils of High Standing Figured LEXINGTON, Ky., Dec. 18. — Stu dents of the Kentucky university pull ed off a prize flght last night which is the chief subject of discussion in col lege circles, inasmuch as one of the principals and his second were stu dents of the Bible college. The bout was six rounds under Marquis of Queensberry rules, and resulted in a bloody fight, in which the Bible stu dent was the conqueror. The principals were G. W. Campbell, of Missouri, and F. C. Hurst, of Ken tucky. Hurst forced the fighting in the second round, putting the Bible man into the ropes a number of times. In the fourth Campbell swung a right hander that landed on Hurst's nose, sending him to the carpet. He bled profusely. In the fifth round Campbell landed on Hurst's ear frequently, and in the sixth almost had him out.

IS.—Every effort was* made to prevent an inquiry into—the suicide of a young hussar officer, Lieut. PYitz Dietz, last week, but the news-* papers refuse to allow the latest mil* itary scandal to be hushed up. Lieut. Dietz was hounded to death b,y ..the colonel commanding his" regiment. The lieutenant shot himself at his rooms in Mayence. The affair created some sur prise, as the officer was- a- respected son of a respected family and lived an exemplary li{e, but the Mayence" news papers did not comment on it, as one of the deceased's superior officers call ed at the office of each newspaper and gave his word of honor that Lieut. Dietz's self-destruction was in no way connected with the military service, but that his relations with a 'certain lady at Wiesbaden were the mdtive. The Tageblatt now learns that these statements are- untrue, and quotes a document left behind by the suicide. In this Lieut. Dietz says: "Crushing criticisms passed.Jjy Col. Yon.
