In the death of Sir. Itichter there U a

plements on Tuesday. He retired at his
usual hour anil early Wednesday morning
Mrs. Hlchter was awakened by her hus

a phFician Mr. Hlchter died. One vear
ago Mr. Hlchter's father died in precisely
the same manner.
Coroner McCracken held the Inquest both
times and a verdict of dtath due to heart

CALHOUN COUNTY
TO GET RAILROAD.
l'oard of Supervisors Will Hold
Special Meotinir. To-Iay to
Consider Franchise.
William Fulkerson, chairman of tho
Board of County Commissioners of Calhoun
County, has called a special meeting of that
organization, which will conene at Har
din to-day for the purpose of considering
tho question of granting a franchise to tho
Qulncy and Southeastern Electric Railway
Company. The meeting will be held in the
office of County Clerk Charles Flamm. At
the meeting representatives of the com
pany will present a petition for n fran
chise to equip and operate an electric rail
way along the public roads of the couiity
for a period of twenty years.
At present Calhoun County had no rail
road nor telegraph olilce, and the present
company is the first to seek a franchise
to construct a railway In that section of
Illinois known a the "Kingdom or Cal
houn." For many jears the residents, have
offered Inducements of moro or lesti value
to railroads to build lines into their county,
but heretofore the roads have not given the
matter serious consideration on account of
the necessity of bridging both the Hlinoin
and Missouri Rivers In constructing such
a line.
The present company proposes to con
struct an electric line from oulncy, south
east through Adams, Schuvier, Hancock.
Drown and Pike counties, entering Calhoun
County from the north, connecting the
towns of Uarrs", Hardin, Rushvllle and
Isnuvoo with Qulncy. Xo waterway of any
consequence would have to be spanned by
tne lunpiveil road until the Illinois River
Was reached at Hardin. The latter place
however, according to the best Information
obtainable, will be the southern terminus
of the road for some pionths. with a strong
probability then of crossing the Illinois and
Sinning south through Jersv and Madison
counties for St. Louis.
The Qulncy and Soiithea-stein Electric
Railway Company Is composed principally
of Qulncy stockholders. George Wells is
president and Major James L Adams is the
secretary. Both officers are residents of
Qulncy. The companv- has a nominal capi
talization cf r,fX. The proposed line wilt
be 130 miles In length, and w.111 cot ?1,'X,-

Cause of Delav Attribiueil to Hu
mors About Exposition's Prob
able Postponement.
MANY CAPITALISTS INTERESTED
Syndicates Forming for Erection
of Buildings in Different Parts
of City Real Estate
Gossip.
Several large hotels are projected for the
World's Fair. Many cheaper structures
will be rushed up at the last moment.
Real isj-te dealers say that the principal
iause of the delay In building operations
has bet n the persistency of rumors tht't
the World's Fair would not be held until
j 1WI ThK they sa. has made promoters
! ihary of investing capital. lest it lie idle a
! year btfoie the Influx of sightseers.
Yet that ample accommodation will he
furnished before the opening of the Fair
no doubt is expressed. It Is said that the
necessary hotels" will occupy In their con
struction leas time than the World's Fa'r
building". As soon a the latter are under
way the hotels can he begun, and opened
before the Exposition.
Both local and outside capitalists are
known to be making ready for investment
In great hostlerles for the accommodation
of the guests of the city during the life
of the World's Fair. Probably C'mO.OOO will
be invested in structures of the first class.
It is the gteat outlay that makes iinct
ors cautious.
Already t-vndlcates have been formed for
the erection of hotels in different parts ot
the city. Several plans contemplate the
building of immense family hotels on Grand
avenue, additions to downtown hotels aie
assured, and a great variety ot buildipg v. ill
be done about the World's, Fair site.
One of the most elaborate projects hi that
of Count de Penalcza, who Intends building
a palatial hotel on the corner of Grand
and Washington avenue. Tills structure
will cost several hundred thousand dollais,
be permanent In construction, and Intend
ed for a family hotel after the close of
the Exposition. It ii the Intention to ar
range the Interior of the building after
the manner of a Roman palace, and it will
be one of the most elegant hostelrles in the
I'nlted States, containing more than LiO
rooms.
The Lincoln Trust Company, for a syn
dicate, is planning the building of an Im
mense slx-stOry hotel in the wme neigh
borhood. This. too. will be erected Willi the
Idea of permanency, and le converted Into
a family hotel s tnon as the World's
Fair rush Is over with. This project alsj
contempltCR a 20U-rocm hostelry, modern in
tvery detail.
Mrs. Beers Is arranging to build sub
stantial addition to her hotel at Grand av
enue and Olive street, the structure to be
erected Just west of her present building.
In all appointments the addition will be
harmonious with the main building
Probablj the Planters Hotel alo will be
added to across the alley on the west. Ne
gotiations vveie on foot for purchase of the
Western Union building last ear, and
though it is said that these fell through, the
fact that the Western I'nlon will move
within a few months has given credence to
the earlier report that I In- Planutfb would
acquire the property.
Among the temporary structure in pros
pect, that of the Travelers' Protective As
sociation at Retthold avenue and the Clay
ton road. Is the most elaborate so far an
nounced. This is intended to furnish ac
comodation for members of the society with
their families visiting the Kxpositlon. and
it will probably be sold for department
store purposes after the Fair has closed.
It will he five stories In height, and t-nntaln
Jul) rooms.
I. V. Rosenthal and A. Baer. the purchas
ers of the old Washington University build
ing, at Seventeenth street and Washington
avenue, contemplate also converting this
structure Into a World's Fair hotel before
tearing it down to erect a modern mercan
tile structure on- the site.
Across the street from this buildiii" a
jauuewu promoter win uuna a large Worlds
Fair hotel, with the Idea, however, of
making It a permanent structure for the
use of transients, as it will be convenient
to Union Station. The plans contemplate
the erection of either a four or a five torv
building. "j

erected by the Mercantile Trut Companv

"We pjo off the Battery. Everything do
ing well." was the first message received
by Mr. Kroncke from Mr. Hepworth. the
operator aboard the I.ucania. Then after j.
lull of several minutes came the words:
"We are off Staten Island. I can see the
cruisers of the United States Navy."
Mr. Hepworth then began telling the op
erator aboard the German steamship that
he was going to try to break the wireless
telegraph record, made by the steamship
Philadelphia, which talked to the Lizard
while l.Ti) miles distant. Strange and ob
scure words began at this time to creep
Into the messages.
Mr. Kroncke shut off the connection and
turned It on again, but all he could make
out was several German phrases, among
which the words-, "Sehe.i sic?" and "vler
I'hi" were invariably repeated. Then there
came it complaint from the Lucanla:
"What are vou talking about, anyhow?
I can't speak German."
"Who is this?" was the message flashed
out to the wind by the operator aboard the
German vessel.
"Tho yacht Hohenzollern," was the reply,
"All right, Hohenzollern, keep quiet a
moment." replied Mr. Kroncke. He con
tinued to talk with the Lucanla. whoso
mecsageb grew weaker and weaker.
"We're out at sea. now." said the opera
tor of the I.ucania. "I can scarcely make
vou nut. I'm hungry and going to get din
ner, so I'll say good-by."
"Good-by. Bon voyage." was Fent back,
and then the conversation ceased.
Mr. Kroncke then communicated with the
Imperial vaclit and learned that the opera
tor on the latter hail been trying to send
to him the Invitation In German: "Come
over to ee me at 1 o'clock."
