While immediate action may not be taken on the proposi- tion to divert a portion of the present transport business to a private line of steamships, the administration appears vorable to the suggestion that some of the transports be withdrawn later on.

Coroner Leland Is investigating certain suspicious circumstances connected with the death of Miss Jane Bouillaguet, a French governess, who was employed in the family of Jules Levy at 2510 Jackson street. The lady dled of pelvic blood pois- oning, but Dr. R. E. Bunker, the attend- ing physician, neglected to call the atten- tion of the Coroner to that fact, as re- quired by the rules. He merely sent in a_certificate giving the cause of death as “Septicaemia following opening of pelvic abscess, contributing cause salpingitis and anaemia,” and stating that he hadey ‘attended deceased from April 7, 1901, to April 26, 1901 The first and only person to call the attention of the Coroner to the fact that there were suspicious circumstances con- nected with the woman's death was Jules Leyy, the woman’s emplover. Mr. Levy notified the Coroner that Miss Boulllaguet left his house about the 7th of April to be_treated for an affection of the stom- ach, and that he heard nothing more of her until he learned that she had dled at the Bellevue Sanitarfum. "When the certificate was presented for the Coroner’s approval, which is a condition precedent to burial, the Coroner refused to sign it, and ordered Undertaker Martin to bring the body to the Morgue in order that an autopsy might be performed. The Cor- oner learned further that °Undertaker Martin, contrary to the rule, had em- balmed the bodv. “I had given positive orders to all un- dertakers that they should not inject bod- fes in cases of septicaemia without my permission, and Undertaker Martin has violated my order knowingly and inten- tionally,” said Coroner Leland yesterday. —_———————— Caledonian Club’s Games.

Daughter of Important Wit- ness Gives Damaging Testimony. St o) OMAHA, April 27.—The Callahan case was reopened McI'onald on the stand. McDonald test fled that he and Callahan were together between 3 and 4 o'clock on the day of the kidraping. On cross-examination McDon- ald said Callahan was very nervous. admitted that he had recently told the detectives that he was not whetner it was December 18 or on the day or second day following. Mamie McDonald, the little daughter of the preceding witness, proved an unfor- tunate witness for the defense. she remembered a man named Johnson who often visited Callahan and had heard it whispered that he was Pat Crowe. Frank Hensman, a fled to having seen Callahan daily at Mrs. Kelly’s house as he made his rounds. He delivered his papers between 3:30 and & p. m. and had an impression that he saw Callahan at the house on December 18. He felt some doubt, however, as to the exact date. James Gillan, another car- rier, remembered seeing Callahan spend- ing his time in Henry Orff's saloon, when naping mission. He also was not positive as to the date. The early afternoon was occupled with the testimony of Callahan in his own be- half. His story was a series of denials of all the\allegations of the State. He sald he spent the afternoon of December 13 at home and in the evering played cards at Orff's saloon in South Omaha. The State sought to show that Callahan had been in the reform school, but was not permitted to do so. Callahan admitted He denied that he had been convicted of burglary. He said he had known Crowe for twelve or fourteen years. He said he did not know Crewe was doing except what Crowe told this court. name and had asked him not to use his duce him. He admitted that he drove with Crowe a couple of times. He thought the buggy belonged to Gillan, Crowe's brother-in-law, at South Omaha. The de- fendant testified that Crowe never stopped at Mrs. Kelly’s longer than a few mo- ments. The evening session of the Callahan fense waived its right to address the jury. This action was apparently taken in order that the more skilled talent of the State might suffer a similar deprivation. The instructions to the jury were lengthy and without feature. At 11:30 p. m. the jury notified the court that there was no immediate prospect of an agreement being reached, whereunon the Judge went home. The consensus of opinion seems to be that the jury will not reach an aereement. a San Franciscan Drowned.

Man Shot and Wife Brutally Treated by Vicious Blacks. CONNELLSVILLE, Pa.. April 27.—The Conrelisville coke resion is stirred to- | night over the deeds of a gang of negroes, who attacked Hiram McMillan, a white man, and his wife, in a lonely house near | Oliphant, and shot the man twice, prob- | ably mortally wounding him, and brutally | assaulted the woman, who is also in a serious condition. | McMillan’s house sits back from the highway, near the old Oliphant furnace. McMillan is about 40 years old, but his } wife Is a young woman, and the two were alone. Suddenly eight negroes, in the par- |ty being two black women, came from hiding and attacked the house. The men | burst in the door, dragged Mrs. McMillan | from her husband’s arms and carried her out behind the outbuilding, where the six men assaulted her. Leaving their victim prostrated, the | men gave their atteption to the frantie | husband, who had been engaged in battle | with one o more of the men throughout | this terrible ordeal. McMillan broke from his assaflants, and as he darted back into { his house one of the necroes, evidently thinking that he was going for a gun or revolver, shot him through the body just | below the heart | McMillan fell at his door, but before fleeing the negroes shot at his prostrate body, another bullet lodging in the fallen man near the kidneys. For some time after the negvoes had fled the husband lay at his door bleeding and his wife lay unconscious behind the outbuilding, about fifty feet away. The woman came to her senses first and found her husband. | Mrs. McMillan gave the alarm and im- mediately a posse was organized to hunt down the negroes. The posse in a couple of hours came across Wesley Lewis, one of the supposed ailants, who tried to | hide in the buShes. He was handcuffed | and brought under guard to the Fayette County_Jail, where he is now behind the bars. Bessle Wares and Lizzie Jones, the two colored women implicated in the as- sault, were also locked up in Uniontown.
