Per- kins, formerly vice president of the New York Life Insurance company and now a member of the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co., and Charles 8. Fair- child, formerly secretary of the treas- ury and a trustee of the New York ‘Life Insurance company, were indicted during the day by the grand jury charged with forgery. The indictments are based on what are known as the Prussian bond trans- action, in which it is charged that a false statement was made by the New York Life Insurance company in order to satisfy the government of Prussia as to the securities held by that com- pany. The indictments were reported to Recorder Goft while another case was being heard by him. This hearing was suspended while the recorder listened to the report of the grand jury. The jury reported six indiet- ments against each of the accused men. George W. Perkins appeared in court and gave bail in the sum of $10,- 000. Mr. Fairchild is in Europe. Dummy Sale of Railroad Stock. One of the transactions investigated by the grand jury is what was alleged to be a dummy sale of 10,000 shares of Chicago and Northwestern pre- ferred stock and 5,300 shares of St. Paul gtock to the New York Security and Trust company. As far as ap- Deared on the books of the New York Life Insurance company this transac- tion was a complete sale of the securi- tles. The New York Security-and ‘Trust company, however, recorded it as a loan. Later these shares were sold by the New York Security and Trust company with a profit to the Life Insurance company of $155,000.

NAD BEEN AILING FOR'SOME TIME CONDITION JUST PRIOR TO DISSO- LUTION GAVE HOPE OF ULTI- MATE RECOVERY. Philadelphia, | Dec, 29.—President |Alexander J. Cassatt of the Pennsyl ‘vania Rallroad company died suddenly 'during the afternoon. The announce- ment of his death was made from his office_shortly before 2 o'clock in the following bulletin: “Mr. A. J. Cassatt, president of the Pennsylvania railroad, died suddenly of heart disease at 1 p. m. The symp- toms were those known to the profes- | ALEXANDER.J, CASSATT. sion as the Stokes-Adams syncope and, as s often the case under these cir- wgmsta.nces. death was instantaneous.” .

Early in October Mr. Cassatt felt much better and came regularly to his office for several wéeks, when he' was agaln- attacked. by illness, this time with-a heavy cold. He recovered suffl- clently: to resume his duties and was at Broad Street station regularly until Dec, 8, his birthday. That was the last day he was at his office. Since that time he spent much of his time driving and at his home, transacting ohly the most fmportant business brought to his attention. He was out driving as late as last Monday. ‘While not feeling as well as he had been Mr. Cassatt rose from his bed during the day, but did not leave his room. The family was not alarmed, as he seemed to be in good spirits and no one had the slightest thought of his death. About 1 o’clock, while' sit- ting on a chair, the final attack came. He was Instantly rendered uncon- scious and when His attending physi- clan arrived he found him dead. Began Career as a Rodman. Mr. Cassatt was born In Pittsburg in 1839; was educated in Germany and at the Troy Polytechnic institute. He entered the service of the Penn- sylvania rallroad in 1861 as rodman. In 1867 he became superintendent of motive power and machinery and in 1878 became general superintendent for, the Pennsylvania system. From this time on his rise was rapid and in [1880 he had become first vice presi- 1dent. In 1882 he resigned and did not ‘again hold an official position in the company until he was elected to the residency of the company in 1889. r. Cassatt began his railroad career n the engineering department and never, lost his interest in'that branch and the planning and starting of the great New York city tunnel system for the company, was due to him.

Body of Vnung Woman Found on Hos: pital Grounds. - Boston, Dec. 29.—The police of the ‘West End district have been confront- ed with a mystery in finding the body of a young woman about twenty-four years old upon the grounds of the Mas. sachusetts General hospital, attended by evidence that it had been dragged from an adjacent house. After a brief investigation the police declared the case to be one of murder, though 1t did not appear just how the young woman had met her death. Tracing the marks on the ground over which the budy of the girl had been dragged the detectives found that they led to a lodginghouse on Blossom street man- aged by Mrs. Susie Brown. Later Mrs, Brown and three other women occupants of the house were taken into custody on suspicion, pending a further investigation. Each of the women stated that gshe was unable to identify the dead girl. On the body as it lay by the hos- pital fence were a chemise and skirt. A short coat also had been placed over the shoulders and buttoned un- der the chin, but the arms were not in the sleeves. These conditions seemed to strengthen the lodging: house murder theory. SERIOUS TROUBLE POSSIBLE MANAGERS OF WESTERN RAIL- ROADS OPPOSED TO AN IN- CREASE IN WAGES. Chicago, Dec. 29.—The probability of serious trouble between the forty- ployes, who have demanded a.15 per cent Increase in wages, has become more likely. The managers of the roads affected met and decided that no action would be taken until the trainmen made fresh overtures. Meanwhile representatives of the Brotherhood of ILocomotive Firemen and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers from each of the roads met to await a reply to their demands.| They had known that the managers ‘were to meet and awaited an expected Invitation -to a conference, but none was received, Three waiting meet- ings of the two brotherhoods were held during the morning, afternoon and evening. The evening meeting broke up with the threat:that “some- thing would ‘be doing pretty quick if they were not recognized.” Chairman Benjamin Thomas of the board of managers’ committee refused to make any statement as to what had been done at the meeting, which was of less than an hour’s duration. The trouble seems to be that many of the roads on which the demands have been made ‘can ill afford to grant any increase in wages or increase operat- ing expenses in other ways. ' An in- crease of 10 per cent in wages of all the trainmen, it is said, would take away the small remaining chance of dividends and these roads would pre- fer to take chances with a strike rather than grant the increased wages ‘without making an effort to ward oft the blow. Another meeting of the managers probably will be held shortly at which decided action in the matter may be taken. Meanwhile the representatives of the trainmen’s uniens will remain and await developments. DISMISSED BY GOVERNOR. Charges Made Against Minnesota Rail- way Commission. ° St. Paul, Dec. 29.—Governor John- gon hes uotified C. F. Hubbard and James Manahan of the Shippers’ asso- clation that he had decided to take no actlon on the charges flled by Mr. Manahan against the state board of rallroad and warehouse commission- ers. - The governor states that upon con- sultation with the attorney general he has drrived at the conclusion that the attorney general is the legal adviser of the commission, which was within its rights in refusing Mr. 'Manahan | permission to take part in conducting examinations at the recent rate hear-| ing.

RAILROAD TRAINS BURIED IN DRIFTS EQUIPMENT OF BRITISH LINES NOT INTENDED TO COMBAT _ PRESENT CONDITIONS. London, Dec. 29.—The continuing snowfall has created practically an unprecedented situation, the worst known in thirty years in Great Brit- ain, and the conditicns. existing here apparently are general throughout Eu- rope. From all parts of Great Britain come stories of trains buried in.snow- drifts and the equipment of the British railroads is quite inadequate to deal with the conditions, heretofore almost unknown in the country. Forty to fifty women had narrow escapes from death owing to the col- lapse of the snow laden roof of a Covent Garden warehouse, but most of them were rescued from the wreck- age with only slight injuries. There was no loss of life. All the members of the crew of the Japanese liner Awa Maru, from Ant- werp for Middleshorough, which ran on the rocks off Red Car, were safely taken off by the lifeboats. A telegram from Holyhead says an now snowbound is restored. SECRET POLICE ACTIVE. Three Days. unknown vessel has foundered oft Rhoscolyn Point, Wales.
