So strongly aidl her Majesty insist that in the seventeen years that have eiapsed since the death of Prince Leopold. Duke of Albany. that the Duchess has avoided society and deveted her life to the rearing of her son ani daughter. She invented a peculiarly shaped school seat, for which | she received a gold medal and which is now in general use. In the midst of her studies, her schemes for charity and social reforms she became interested in the Earl She made a mld atterapt to win the Queen over to consent to their ma ge. The Queen would not hear of it. and as the Duchess was de- pendent upon an allowance made ti:rough her mcther-in-law’s will and did not wish to offend her, she resigned herself to the inevitable.

CHICAGO, July _1L.—The Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, which has been in session here considering charges of mismanagement by the board of coun- trol of the endowment rank, to-day decid- 1ed that the most expedient way of meet- ing the defieiency of $500,000 of the treas- ury was to raise the insurance rate to the maximum prescribed by the National Fra- ternal Congress. If in this way money is not quickly enough forthcoming, it is likely that a special assessment of 50 cents will be put on every member of the order for the benefit of the endowment rank. ;l'zhscl.s latter move would speedlly raise The board of control will continue to in- vestigate the affalrs of the endowment rank, pursuant to resolutions adopted yes- terday. The only immediate action which will be taken will be the instituting of some foreclosure suits in an endeavor to rescue as much as possible of the money gald to have been carelessly Invested by J. A. Hinsey, former president of the board of control. Fight Against New Policy. Before the new rates were adopted there was a violent many-sided fight as to CONVICTED MURDERER TRYING TO PROVE ALIBI Prisoner Under Sentence of Death whether the policy was poor or not. The old rates were much more favorable to old men than to young men and conse- quently the younger element lined up in favor of the change against the older ele- ment. 'There was an even harder struggle made by men who thought it was not fair to place all the financial burden of making up the deficit caused by bad administra- tion on the policy holders. The men who took this view pointed out that the en- dowment rank was incorporated in the | name of the Supreme Lodge of the| s of Pythlas, and was controlled | They #aid that Hinsey was an of- | Kul‘{ht by it. ficer appointed by the Pythian order. and not by the policy holders, and that conse- quently the whole order should bear the losses caused by him and that a uniform assessment on all Pythians should be levied to make it good. Supreme Lodge’s Firm Stand. The final action of the Supreme Lodge was practically unanimous for the higher rates, which F!ace the whole burden on members of the endowment rank, only four delegates voting in the negative. By a compromise agreement, however, it was ordered that when the old death losses were rpud off and a surplus began to ac- cumulate the board of control should that point. The sams evidence was heard by the former board. Trying to Win Strikers Over. have authority to pass a regular monthly assessment as often as possible. To place itself on record as responsible for all debts of the endowment rank. the Supreme Lodge passed the following reso- lution: Resolved. By the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Pythi that sald Supreme Lodge recognizes not only its legal but also its moral | and " fraternal responsibilities to stand behind and protect every beneficial certificate issued by and In force in the endowment rank of the Knights of Pythias, and we hereby pledge to ev holder of such certificate all such legis- latlon as may be needed to fully protect the holders of such certificates and produce full and prompt payment of all claims due thereon. i Theodore Lahache of Sherman, Tex.. was elected a member of the board of | control of the endowment rank, to suc- | ceed Hinsey, who resigned under fire.

CLEVELAND, July 11.—On the N Plate road to-day nine men were kil as the result of a collapse of a bridge at Springfield, Pa., while a local freight train The bridge was being repaired. When the loco- | motive and the cars went down a gang of Italian laborers working under the bridge | were caught beneth the wreck. The dead: PHIL A. MOORE, conductor, Conne- aut, O. GEORGE SWARTZ, laborer, North Springfield, Pa. JOHN CEPOS, laborer, Cleveland, O. ¥ K _KRUZO, laborer, Buffalo. FIVE ITALIANS, laborers; names un- known. The injured: J. J. McDermott, brake- man, Ashtabula, O.; Carl Randall, labor- er, West Springfield, Pa.; J. H. Beckwith, gang boss, Buffalo, internally; five Ital- ians, laborers; names hurt. The bridge that collapsed was thought o be unsafe and the laborers were fllling in the ravine which it spanned. The traln had backed on the bridge. The cars loaded with broken rock were standing on the span ready to be dumped. Conduc- tor Mogre was on one of the cars, while the crew of workmen was waiting under- neath to level the stone as it was dropped. ‘Without warning the bridge gave way. The three cars with their heavy loads were hurled into the gully, a distance of about eighty feet, into the very midst o the workmen, many of whom were crush ed into shapeless masses. Fifteen minutes before the bridge col lapsed a heavy passenger train had rushe: over it. Special trains from Conneaut an Erie carrled physicians to the scene of the accident. The work of recovering the dead and rescuing the injured was difficult, as they were buried under the heavy cars. The engine did not go down with the wrecked | bridge. Only the cars, heavily loaded with stone, were carried down. It was at first reported that the engineer, Griffith, had been killed, but this was erroneous. IPOBTO RICO WILL ADMIT COFFEE FREE OF DUTY | Order Will Go Into Effect When Fres Trade Between Island and America Is Declared. WASHINGTON, July 11.—Under a rul- ing of the Treasury Department coffee shipped from the United States to Porto Rico will be admitted Into Porto Rico free of duty as soon as free trade is proclaim- ed between the United States and that jsland. This in practice will result, it is likely, in all coffee sent into Porto Rico from any country being admitted free of duty. Although the Porto Rican provides for a duty of 5 cents a pound on all coffee imported from a foreign coun- try, it is expected that coffee importers will take advantage of the fact that cof- fee is admitted free into the United States |and ship their coffee into the United States and thence to Porto Rico, thus tariff i TorD IRO/EBERY FORMER BRITISH PREMIER AND MEMBER OF ROYAL FAMILY WHO ARE BETROTHED. ynknown; badly | NINETEEN DEAD IND TWO DYING Other Victims of Alton Wreck Are Severely Injured.

Martinelli for the rosecution and O. Meldon and Adolph ylva for the defense, worked like beavers piling up notes of the evidence to be used in argument. All this time the jury painfully watched the piles of notes grow higher and higher. They thought of their suppers and homes end the verbal bombardment that was coming. Some yawned. some went to sleep, but the lawyvers would not take a hint. At this stage Captain H. Gor- ley, foreman of the jury, passed up to Judge Angellotti a written request asking that the lawvers on both sides cut their arguments out, as. the jury did not care to hear them. This was a stunner. It was a pioneer in judicial procedure. The Judge stated that he had no authority to deny counse] the right to talk to the jury at the proper time. Meldon, for the de- fense. was willing to submit the without argument. but Mclsaac and Mar- tinelll insisted on talking., After the argu- ment the jury retired_and soon brought in a verdict declaring Meldon’s client not guilty TRAIN GRUSHES GIRL TO DEATH Gilroy Child Tries to Escape Engine and Is Killed. GILROY, July 11.—The Del Monte fifer. due here at 5 p. m., ran over and killed May Ladd, the 12-year-old daughter of J. 0. Ladd, to-day. The accident occurred at the Springs road. The child was driving a horse attached to a buggy, and an eye-witness states that before reaching the crossing she whipped the horse to a run in order to cross before the train. The train was a half-hour late and came toward the sta- tion at the rate of sixty miles an hour. The engine struck the vehicle and horse and the child was instantly killed. Por- tions of her flesh were found along the track. and the greater part of her body was found in the cattle guard, where it dropped by the cowcatcher. For nearly a hundred vards the horse- was dragged along the track. As soor as possible the traln was stopped and backed to the scene of the accident. The body was placed in a bug- gy robe and brcught to town. Engineer Stevens says hc did not see the child until too late, as there is an orchard obstructing the view of the road at that point.

Mrs. Althoff was a widow and resided with her two children in a cottage off the Napa road, one mile north of Vallejo. / At 3 o’clock in the morning William Gee, who lives on the west side of the Napa road, saw that the residence of his niece, Mrs. Althoff, was on fire. He ran to the One Mile House and summoned D. G. Ha- gel. When the men arrived at the burn- ing house the building was nearly de- stroyed. The worst fears of those who gathered at the fire were confirmed when at 4:30 o'clock the burned remains of Mrs. Althoff and her eldest daughter were found in the ruins. Mamie, the five-year- old daughter of Mrs. Althoff, spent the night with her grandmother and so es- caped the awful fate of her mother and sister. Tt is said that Mrs. Althoff was in the habit of leaving a lamp burning at night, and it is thought the lamp started the fire. The smoke probably suffocated the inmates of the house before the flames reached them.
