REIGHLIN’S WEIRD TALE. | A BATTLE WITH MOROS. Says He Saw His Sister’s Mur- derer in a Car. A Remarkable Story Told by the Girl’s Brother, Who Was in the House When the Lorain, 0., Crime Was Commited. Lorain, 0., May 7.—“I am certain that I have seen my sister's murder- er,” said Casimer Reichlin to day. He believes there is some strange influ- ence working about him. “I rode on a street car with a man I believe to have murdered Agatha,” said Mr. Reichlin. “It was the day following the murder. I was so im- pressed that I told a policeman aboutit He paid little or no atten- tion to my story but I know now that I was right. 1 don’t know why Iknew. I don’t know why I had the premonition that something was going to happen, but I had it never- theless, and itso impressed me that I could not sleep. When I saw my sister’s body I knew that I had been forewarned, but just how, God alone knows, I came down town the follow- on the street car when a man, dark complexioned and with a black mus- tache, boarden the car and sat directly opposite me. When my eyes saw him they became riveted upon him. I could not tarn them away.” “Will you tell be where you live?” he asked. “Why?” I replied. “Do you live here?” “1 live any place,” hesaid. “I work in the butcher shop andifyou tell me where you live I will bring you a big pike. I meanit, { will bring youa big pike. I never saw such a man before. I am certain that he does not live in Lorain. 1 was strangely affected when I left the car. Istood on the corner and watched the car until it was out of sight. Then I wenthomeand passed upstairs togo to my room. As I was passing the door to my sister’s room I looked in and saw the bloody pillows. Like a flash it came to me —that man was my ‘sister’s murder- er. [ran back into the yard. There was a policeman there. I told him of my experience and said I believed 1 had seen my sister’s murderer. When I had told him he replied, ‘There was one great murder mys- tery solved in just that way.’ “I have since been watching every face for the reappearance of that man. If lever see him again I be- lieve my sister's murder will be avenged.” Miss Reichlin was killed in the home of her brother, a priest. Casimir Reichlin, a younger brother, and the Rev. Father Walser, a visiting priest were in the house at the time. SHOALS MAY HOLD MONITOR TILL MARCH Dredging and Removal of the Arkan- sas’s Fittings May be Resorted to. St. Louis Republic. River men predict that the monitor Arkansas, which is stopped by shoal water at Ste. Genevieve, Mo., isa prisoner until next March. The channel, however, may be dredged out by government dredges and the craft sufficiently lightened by the re- moval of fittings to allow passage to Cairo. The June rise would normally offer an easy escape withina month. River prophets do not look for a material rise this year. In Washington dispatches was the following from Commander Vreeland: “Channel miles below in which we came choked. New channel only 11 feet. Compelled to wait for a rise or further scouring out.” This indicates that the ship’s cap tain has no great apprehension of long delay. On the Sunday preceding the ship’s departure, Commander Vreeland ex- pressed himself as exceedingly anx- ious to get started down the river. There was then, by the guage read- ing, but four feet seven inches more than the vessel’s draft—13 feet—and the river was receding with alarming rapidity. A Missouri Farm For $41,868, Captain Pershing’s Command Routed a | Sultan’s Forces With Heavy Losses. Manila, May 7.—Captain Persh-| ing’s column has defeated the sultan | of Amparugano’s strong force of Moros in the Taraca country, on the east shore of Lake Lanao, island of Mindanao. The Amerlcanscaptured ten forts. One hundred and fifty Moros were killed, thirteen wounded and sixty made prisoners. The Moros captured included the sultan. Two Americans were killed and seven wounded. The ten forts constituted atrong poeitions on the banks of the Taraca river and from them the Moros vig- orously resisted Captain Pershing’s advance. The American troops at- tacked the forts Monday and cap- tured eight of them without suffering any losses, although the thirty-five obsolete cannon mounted on the for- tifications were served with the best of the enemy’s ability. The garrison of the ninth fort re- sisted flercely and Captain Pershing ordered the fort to be shelled and captured by assault, which was done. Lieutenant Shaw and Lieutenant Gracie led two companies of the Twenty-seventh infantry and a detachment of cavalry. They sur- rounded the tenth fort where the sultan had sought refuge and it sur- rendered last Tuesday. The forts have been dismantled. Capt. Persh- ing moved northward Tuesday to complete the exploration of the east shore of the lake. No further resist- ance is expected. The Spanish gunboat, Velasco, sunk by the ships of Admiral Dewey of Cavite, has been raised. Her hull is not injured, but the upper works show the effect of the American shells. His Wife's Fault. New York Times, They were speaking of the pessi- mistic member. “He never looked on the bright side,’’ said one. “No,” addedanother. “Moreover, if there’s any way for him to shift the blame of his misfortunes on others, rest assured he’ll do it.” “Quite so,” concluded a third “Why the other day they told me of his wife’s devoted nursing of him during his recent attack of rheuma- tism. In spite of his fault finding, his devoted spouse did everything she could to alleviate his pain, Often his sufferings would cause the poor thing to burst into tears as she sat by his bedside. Well, one day a friend dropped in to see how the in- valid was getting along. “ ‘Badly, badly,’ wailed the pessi- mistic one. ‘And, do you know, it’s all my wife’s fault.’ ‘Impossible!’ gasped the friend, in surprise. ‘Quite true, I assure you,’ murmur- ed the sick man. It’s this way. Damp places are bad for me; yet there that woman sits and cries just to make the air moist.’ ” Baden-Powell Denies it Now. London, May 6.—General Baden- Powell, who was among the passen- gers on the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. which ar- rived at Plymouth yesterday, when questioned regarding the criticism of the American cavalry he is alleged to have made on the eve of his sailing for his home, replied: “The statement is entirely false. My position would prevent me from giving any opinion as to the efficien- cy of foreign troops. I went to Amer- ica on a private business and mainly for the sea trip. Our stay was brief, only fourteen days. I hope to visit America again and spend more time there.” Informed that one American paper stated he traveled under an assumed name to Washington to propose to one of the belles of the capital with whom he had fallen in love at Cairo, the general laughed and said he did not know the woman and was sorry he had never been in Cairo. Used Pistol at a Dance, Bay City, Mich., May 6.—There was a fight last night at a hotel dance in Big Creek, just across the line in Tus- cola county. David Trombley of West Bay City was shot and killed. Henry Schindehette of Bay City was Mexico, Mo., May 6.—The James] slashed with a knife and Frank Defoe Maddox farm, south of Mexico and east of McCreda, has been sold to William Underwood of Cantrell, Ill., tor It is said that the chaser than he paid. aged 28, was injured. The partici- pante in the fight tell conflicting stories, and no arrests will be made been offered $10,000 more until after the inquest on Trombley’s BRYAN PRESENTS THE NAME OF TOM JOHNSON. “Loyal Democrat and Leader in Re- forms,” Says the Commoner. | HER DEVOTION WAS FATAL. A Massachusetts Girl Killed While Shielding her Father. Miss Nellie Sturtevant, daughter Lincoln, Neb., May 8.—William J.|°! Treasurer James 8. Sturtevaut of Bryan presents, in to-day’s Com- moner, as One who deserves the presi- dential nomination at the hands ef the Democratic party, the name of Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio. “He is a Democrat who hasalways been loyal, always a hard worker in his party and a virile leader of re- forms.” Aside from these direct words of Mr. Bryan, the greater part of the editorial is devoted to a quotation from a Democratic daily paper in Johnstown, Pa., which saye: A SELF-MADE MAN. “Nor has Johnson's political career in Cleveland anything in it of the nature of fireworks, It is simply an expression of the character and mental and moral equipment of the man. None who know him are astonished by it. They ex- pect it. In business he has forged ahead from a poor boy, the son of a confederate officer impoverished by the civil war. He has played in the samegame of business that thegreat captains of industry are playing at yet, and he has won at it. Hisability as a business man not even the best of them will dispute. Johnson is no neakling ‘tehorist.’ He knows all the twists and wriggles in the diplo- macy of plutecratic business with which the plutocratic so bewilder President Roosevelt, and he knows how to turn them to account for the people. This he has demonstrated in career as mayor of Cleveland. Not only has he succeeded as a business man, as the mayor of a great city and as a political leader, but he has served in congress with distinction, and ina way to prove the soundness of his views on pressing national questions and his unfalter- ing loyalty to his convictions. Who that remembers his free trade speech on the floor of the house can forget his retort when a protectionist re- buked him as a beneficiary of protec- tion for speaking against it? ‘Asa business man in business affairs,’ he exclaimed, ‘I will take advantage of all the bad laws you pass; butasa member of this house, on this floor, I will try to make you repeal them.’ It isa moral perception and cour- age like that that the democratic party needs in its presidential candi- date. It needs precisely the qualities which Tom L. Johnson has proved himself to possess.” Another Bulgarian Battle, Salonica, May 6.—An engagement is reported to have occurred at the village of Vanitza between Turkish troops and a Bulgarian band, in which sixty Bulgarians, including their leader, Deltzeff, were killed. The Turks lost four men killed and three wounded. Thirty houses in| Vanitza were burned. A Bulgarian band led by Petroff has been routed at Krapestaza. Sev- en of the Bulgarians were killed. A number of dynamite bombs were captured here and martial law was proclaimed in Salonica yesterday. The battle ships Sardegna and Francesco Morosini, the cruiser Al- berto and the torpedo cruiser Cala- tafima of the Italian navy have ar- rived here. Says the 'Frisco is Sold. New York, May 7.—A Wall street news bureau to-day says that the negotiations recently renewed for the purchase of the control of the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad com- pany have been practically closed and the terms fully agreed upon. No official confirmation of these state- ments was obtainable, but in finan- cial circles the belief was general to-day that an agreement as to terms had been reached. The directors of the Rock Island and the St. Louls & San Francisco com panies held meetings here to-day. A Child’s Fortunate Fall. New York, May 6.—A 3-year-old child fell from its mother’s arms to- day through a window of an elevat- ed train on the lofty structure in Sec- ond avenue. The mother’s screams were heard by two men who were crossing the street below. They glanced up in time to -see the child falling and to catch it in their arms. The child was restored to its frantic mother with no more serious result of its thrilling experience than aslight bruise caused by grazing the edge the elevated structure, aS the Medford Co operative bank, was shot and killed at her home late last night by an unknown man who at- tempted to rob her father as he was returning from a bank meeting with @ satchei filled with check and money. The assassin then jumped upon his bicycle andescaped. An Italian who answered the description of the mur- derer was arrested two hours later on suspicion. Mr. Sturtevant reached his home about 11:30 last night, having with him a satchel well filled with money and checks belonging to the bank. As he stepped up on the piazza of his home his wife and daughter open- ed the door and afew words of greet- ing passed between them. At that moment @ rough looking stranger appeared around the end of the piaz- zaand, revolver in hand, ordered Mr. Sturtevant to throw up his hands, The order was not immediately obeyed and Miss Sturtevant stepped in front of her father to shield him from harm just as the intruder fired. The man then snatehed the satchel from Mr. Sturtevant’s grasp and, jumping upon a bicycle which he had conveniently near, rode off rapidly in the direction of Boston. Miss Sturt- evant died soon afterward, She was . 25 years old. $1,000,000 For an Invention. Indianapolis, Ind.,’ May 8.—The Rev. James Stafford, pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Hazelton, perfected a stopper to make bottles non-refillable several months ago and has since secured a patent on his invention. A patent medicine firm recently of- fered him $100,000 for his patent, provided it would do what he claim- ed for it, but he refused to accept the offer. Yesterday James Pepper, a whisky distiller of Lexington, Ky., made an offer of $1,000,000 for the device and the minister now has it under consideration. While refusing to enter into details regarding his invention, Mr. Stafford says that many tests have been made, and no bottles in which the stopper is used can ever be refilled. His object in perfecting his idea was to find something that would pro- tect manufacturers from unscrupu- lous imitators who refill bottles. The ‘Massacre’ Was a Fake. Vienna, May 6.—The officials of the foreign office here say there is no foundation for the report published by a news agency in the United States yesterday that 9,000 Christian in- habitants of Novi-Bazar, Bosnia, had been massacred by Moslems, Austria maintains three garrisons in the district of Novi-Bazar and ev- erything is quiet there. Berlin, May 7.—The Frankfort Zeit- ung dispatch, quoted yesterday by a news agency in the United States as saying that 8,000 Christians had been massacred by Moslems at Novi- Bazar, Bosnia, was an unconfirmed rumor from Belgrade, Servia, to the effect that a maasacre of Christians had occurred, but no number of per- sons alleged to have been killed was mentioned in the Frankfort Zeitung dispatch. Mob Threatens Negro Carrier. Washington, May 8.—A parallel to the famous Indianola postoffice case is being enacted at Gallatin, Tenn., where a negro rural mail carrier has been served with a notice by masked men that he must quit his job orlose his life. As a result of this warning the ser- vice on the route has been discon- tinued while a thorough investiga- tion is being made. Postmaster-General Payne says that, unless protection is guaranteed for the. carrier the route will be abolished or soldiers will besent there to maintain order. Mr. Payne says the carrier was ap- pointed under the civil service rules, which provide that such places shall goto the person standing the best examination. The postoftice officials have no option in selecting incum bents. Cheyene, Wyo., May 2.—The citi- zens of Cheyenne will give President Roosevelt on his visit here May 3 one of the finest rough riding outfits of eaddle, bridle, quirt spureanl o ‘a vajo blanket, and will cost $400. Steer roping and h riding will be a feature of the ‘celebration in Chey- enne. . &
