Kansas City Times, Friday Mrs. Hannah Overlander of Mari- on, Franklin county, Pennsylvania, was found dead in a seat in a Mis souri Pacific train that reached Kan sas City at 7:10 yesterday morning. She was traveling alone. In her pocket was papers showing that she | had started from home to visit her children, a young farmer and_ his wife, who live near Chapman, Kan. She also had $60 in cash anda check for $200. She was about 50 years of age and was well attired. As the train pulled in yesterday | morning and the brakeman cried, “Kansas City!” a lady rose from ber seat and started to the forward end ef the ear for a drink of water. As she passed the old lady, sitting bolt upright in her seat, something ghast- ly in her appearance attracted her attention. She leaned o.er and placed her hand on the wrinkled face and found it cold. She said, “Why, this woman is dead.” She had prob ably been dead more than two hours. Upon arriving at the Union depot Coroner Langsdale was sent for and the body was taken to Carlat’s morgue. “A telegram was sent to Chapman, Kan., and it was found that the farmer lived seven miles from town. A messenger was sent for him. Coroner Langsdale held a post mortem yesterday and it was found that the immediate cause of her death was ossification of the valves of the heart. The right lung was almost entirely destroyed by consumption. CELSUS CAME BACK Louis Aftera Col. Celsus Price, who disappear- ed mysteriously from St. Lous dur- ing the spring of 1887, has just as mysteriously again dropped in upon that city. He went away wearing mustache and goatee, and returns with long full beard and a shiny pate. He refuses to give any count of his absence o- to say where h s been. yg ee Price and Dr. J.C. Neid- let disappeared from St. Louis at the same time. He denies that they went away together, but says the other two men are all right, he hav- \ ing heard from them only a short! 4 time ago. He will not say where they are but says they are hundreds of miles away and will not return. Celsus Price is the son of the late ex- Gov. Sterling Price, and was a man of considerable state promi- nence when he went awav. He is now 50 years old. Dr. Neidlet was also a man of great local prominence. In the early spring of 1887 these three gentlemen were missing. There was nothing to attract especial at- tention to their absence. There were no business complications or social | sensations and it was said—and, in fact, Celsus Price confirms the re- pert—that they said farewell to their friends and quietly announced that they had consecrated themselves to God and would probably never again be seen by their friends or families. It was claimed that they had be- come theosophists and had even des cended tothe most menial occupa- tions in eastern cities in order to carry out their whimsical theories, | but all this Col. Price denies. He says he is commissioned by , the supreme head of the mysterious religious order to which he belongs. to deliver a series of lectures in St. Louis, and he has reuted a ha!l for that purpose. His first lecture will be on the relation between spiritual- ism and the christian religion. Worth Hundreds of Dollars. My wife used only two bottles of “Mother's Friend” before her third confinement. She says she would not be without it for hundreds of dollars. Had not half as much trou- bue as before.

Wichita, April 22.—The regular quarterly meeting of the Sedgwick Connty Alliance began here yester- day afternoon. One hundred and thirty-seven delegates are present. The first session was occupied in dis- cussing a pr eposition to organize an Alliance bank, and the initiatory steps were taken morning by the appointment of a committee to arrange the necessary details. Only Alliance men will be allowed to hold stock or do business with the insti tation. Arrangements were also made te enable all members of the Alliance to hold their wheat for the highest market, and money was pledged in the meeting for this purpose, In case this the proposed bank should not ma hree utes were elected the Cincinuath convention. Among the other business to come up are propositions to start Alliance grist mills and to establish Alliance agent) and chickens: he at tha stockyarcs. It has also been decided to publishin pamphlet form | few lays azo the People’s party's recent manifesto | Bueban’s manifesto and Rogir’s re- ply thereto and to distribute the broad ROM: SHAKEN UP The Eternal City Jarred by Terrifle Powder Explosion. Destroyed. Rome, April 23.—At about 7 o'clock this morning a tremendous ;explosion of 265 tons of powder in | the magazive shook this city to its foundation, spreading terror and ' dismay on all sides. The people rushed from their homes the ; Streets, houses rocked, pictures fell ‘from the walls, thousands of panes of glass were broken everywhere, ‘crockery ware was shattered, furni ‘ture was overturned, chimneys crashed down upon the roofs, in ; Some instances toppled over inty ‘the streets below. The cupola of |the house of parliament, immediate ly after she explosion shook violent ly, and then collapsed with a crash, which added still further to the feeling of horror which had spread through Rome. The scenes in the streets after this fearful explosion have possibly uever before been equaled in dramatic effect during the history of modern Rome. All the thoroughfares were strew with bricks. stones, splinters and other debris hurled there by the force of the powder concussion which had caused Rome to totter on its foundation. and conditions were rushing pal? with fear about the streets trying to seek consolation from others who were as thoroughly terrified as them- selves. Inthe houses doors, win- dows and cupboards were burst rents and cracks appeared in the walls, the plaster fell from the ceil ing and general desolation prevailed. In many instances people were thrown from their beds by the shock which caused so much alarm and cries of terror filled the air as thou- sands of families rashed out into the jstreets Parents with their children in their arms, children leading aged parents, the younger helping the elder, made for the streets as if their only chance of safety depended on their being able to reach the open air. King Humbert received an ova- tion on visiting the hospital where the injured are being cared for. dred Injured and Much Property into THE USURY BILL SIGNED. Governor Francis Approves a Measure to Prevent Extortions. Jetferson City, Governor Francis yesterday proved the senate bill known as the “usury bill.” This measure has excited great interest thoughout the state, and many petitions for and against it have been received. It limits the maximum contract rate of jinterest to 8 per cent and provides | that upon proot of interest above 8 ap- |per cent having been paid. the ex-| cess is to be credited on the princi- pal It also provides that liens upon personal property to secure the pay ment of indebtedness upon which have been collected or demanded shall be held illegal and invalid. The | ‘effect of this will be to put a stop to the exaction of exorbitant interest upon chattel mortgages. The bill does not prevent the purchase and ‘sale of negotiable paper. as has been charged. but merely provides effect- | ive means for enforcing an observ- ance of the interest laws. The governor also approved the senate bill which compels corpora- tions or individuals who may have received bonuses fer locating and operating plants. such as railroad shops or factories, at places in the state to refund the bonuses or grants with interest when the plants are removed or abandoned.

The brick yards at Trenton N. J., have made a reduction in wages of 20 per cent, and stopped work be- cause the men refuse to accept the terms. The Record says the tariff isa benifit to the laboring man, and the millionaire manufacturer says he must work for from 10 to 20 per eent less wages.
