Widowed Wife of an Hour Defends
Herself Until Uncle Thrusts His
Thumb Under Pistol Hammer?
<y , Professor Van Ingen Killed.
:
Plaquemine, La.?Three years ago
Miss Mamie Rhorer, daughter of an
;ex-Mayor of Alexandria, jilted Frank
S. Beauvre after having promised to
become his wife.
t\ ' While the girl and her husband of
.thrift hours wers Rr.PAflinsr nn a train
!ito New Orleans for their honeymoon,
the rejected suitor entered the car,
congratulated the bride upon her
marriage, then drew a pistol and shot
B ~ the bridegroom dead across her lap.
/ The man -whom Beauvre slew was
F. F. Van Ingen, one of the wealthiest
young planters of Louisiana.
Beauvre had turned the gun from
Van Ingen and was about to slay the
bride when passengers overpowered
him.
I The wedding occurred at Alexandria
and was the society event of the
season.
The girl told Beauvre that she rejected
him for Van Ingen because she
not only loved the latter more, but
, also because he had no "CreoleFrench
" blood in his veins. Beauvre
went away without a word.
He was in town, but did not attend
the ceremony. A crowd of friends
saw the couple off for New Orleans,
;but they did not see Beauvre clamber
aboard the same train.
Later in the evening Beauvre went
Am* Into the coach where the bride and
ifeSs? iroom sat. He tonk the seat, onno
:}kJ site, and leaning across the aisle.
F said: . '"*"
"Congratulations to you^otrf^
"Thank you," said .the bride, with
a smile. "We are very happy."
As she spoke she turned to her
<husband and laid her arm across
f shoulders. t
"This is too much!" cried Beautre,
and, pulling the revolver from his
ipocket, shot Van Ingen through the
head. ; ..
b Next he tried to murder the young
|p widow, who saved herself by a plucky
|ftj fight until her uncle thrust his thumb
under the hammer of Beauvre's pisj
tol and seized the slayer.
B Van Ingen's head fell into the lap
of his bride-widow, and he expired
||| within a few minutes.
Stf 3eauvre declared that he only revi
gretted that he could not send the
* "faise woman" to join her dead husband.
Mrs. Van Ingen, the bride, followed
her husband's slayer from the train,
. and was only prevented from attackW
ing him by passengers and police officers.

Pittsburg.?Mistaking each other
for highwaymen two Pittsburg detectives
opened fire on each other
on the North Side. James Farrell
fell dead with five bullets In his body
and with his gun still smoking.
Clyde Edeburn, who had killed the
man whom he thought was a murderous
highwayman, and who had a
bullet hole through his own clothes,
struck a match to search the body
L and was horrified to find by his badge
that the dead man was a detective.
' Edeburn and Farrell did not know
each other. One had been a detective
in the city of Allegheny before
it became merged with Pittsburg, the
other was ene of the main city
sleuths.
BOY DID THE ROBBING. ~
Old Man Covered Kansas City Railroad
Trainmen With Gons.
rj /
Kansas City.?A man fifty years
old, followed by a boy of fourteen
years, pushed open the rear door of
thf caboose of a 'Frisco freight train.
"Hands up," one said as two pistols
were pointed at Elmer G. Butcher,
the conductor, and William M.
Smith, a brakeman. The trainmen
obey.
"Now, sonny, go through them,"
the older man said to the boy. While
the robber kept the railroad men covered
with his pistols the boy went
through their pockets and took $22.50
and their watches.
The robbers tied the two trainmen
with ropes and left the train as it

" TWO KILLED IN CIRCUS DUEL j
11
Cowboy and Police Captain Shoot
Each Other at Gulfport, Miss.
I
The Shots Sounded Like One and the [
Men Fell Dead Side by Side
in the Ring.
Mobile, Ala.?Two men shot each
other dead in the circus, ring of the
Miller Brothers' "101 Ranch" Wild
West Show in Gulfport, 'Miss., and a
riot followed that would have resulted
in many more fatalities if the
Mayor had not rushed a large body o?
policemen and constables to the spot.
One of the duelists was Lon Seely,
a cowboy belonging to the show. The
other was Lee Varnado, captain of
police. Varnado lost his life because
J he disdained to decline a challongo
j .to fight to the death from Seely after
striking a ciud out or tne cowDoy s
hand in time to save a tentman. Both
men were killed instantly. Seely's
bullet entered Varnado's mouth and
came out at the back of the captain's
head. The policeman's shot went
through the cowboy's eye and traversed
the brain.
Quarrels arose among the show |
employes when the outfit was pulling
stakes to leave the .town. Seely was
on the point of stunning a tentman
with a club when Captain Yarnado
rushed up and knocked the weapon
out of his hand. The cowboy, crying,
"I'll kill you for that!" whipped
out his pistol. Varnado .took out his
revolver at the same time, and the
two backed to opposite sides of the
ring. The shots sounded like one,
and the men, staggering toward each
other, fell side by side in the centre
of the ring.
A furious attack on the showmen
by the villagers followed. Shots
were fired by both sides. The cowboys
and other show employes stood
about the dead men and repulsed
the attack firmly. So swift was the
Mayor's action that the riot was
stopped before any one was hurt.
But the cowboys had to take the
cowgirls and Indian squaws out of
.town between two columns, and they
rode on their way with revolvers in
their hands.
MAJOR ROBINSON A SUICIDE.
Mobile Politician Was Considered
Next in Line For Governor.
Mobile,, Ala.?Major Edward Murphy
Robinson, thirty-five years old,
an influential politician, a speaker of
national note and next in line for the

suicide by shooting while his family
were at dinner in their home. No
cause is known.
Major Robinson excused himself
after soup was served, and, stepping

his brains. He married the daughter
of P. D. Barker, postmaster of Mobile,
two years ago, and his wife and
one child survive him.

! CONFESSING, NAMES
FORTY LYNCHERS
"Tid" Burton Betrayed Rankin and
Taylor to Night Riders.
HALF ARE NOW UNDER ARREST
Authorities Expect to Round Up Rest
or Jtsana mat c;omrainca crime
at Reelfoot?Leaders of Mob
Named?Lawyer Accused.
Tiptonville.Tenn.?In the presence
of Sheriff Haynes, Judge Harris and
Mayor Cleveland Donaldson "Tid"
Burton, a "night rider" arrested at |
Samburg, made a full confession in
the county jail at this place. He implicated
forty well kaown residents
of the Lake district in the murder of
Captain Quentin Rankin a week ago.
Of this number more than half are
now held prisoners in Camp Nemo,
under the guard of the State troops.
Burton denies that he was with the
"night riders" when Captain Rankin
was hanged, but admits that he furnished
the information to the leaders
of the Band tnat causeu mem u>
swoop down upon the hotel at Walnut
Log.
According to Burton's statements
Tom and Garrot Johnson, both of
whom are under arrest at Camp Ne.mo,
and Will Watson were the leaders
of the "night riders" who perpetrated
the crime. Watson is now at
large under a $5000 bond for having
participated in the whipping of Geo.
Winn, a justice of the peace, in Lake
County about four months ago. With
Burton's confession at their disposal
and with other valuable information
which was secured It is confidently
expected by the authorities that it
will be but a matter of a few hours
before the members of the band still
at large are taken into custody.
Burton said that he went to Walnut
Log the night before the murder
and there had a conversation with
James F. Carpenter, an attorney, of
this city, at whose solicitation Colonel
Taylor and Captain Rankin made the
journey to Walnut Log, ostensibly to
arrange a deal in timber lands. As
it is now alleged, Carpenter's purpose
was to place them at the mercy of
the "night riders."
Carpenter was placed under arrest
by special order from Governor Patterson.
and is now held in Camp Nemo.
He is a retired lawyer and reputed
to be wealthy.
After this conversation with Carpenter
Burton told the authorities
that he communicated with the "leaders
of the "night riders" and betrayed
the presence of their victims. He
said he saw both of them at the supper
table the night they were taken
from their beds, shortly after 12
o'clock. They did not see him, as he
only went to the hotel to get a lunch
to take with him into the lake that
night, as he intended to fish until
morning.
Burton states that immediately
after getting this lunch he got into
his boat and went out into the lake
about a mile. He was fishing at the
time the fatal shots were fired into
Captain Rankin's body, and says that
he heard them, but did not return at
once to Bayou Deshea to see what
they meant or to learn what crime i
had been perpetrated.
Reports from the camp at Samburg
say nothing of a sensational character
happened during the night. A report
has reached here from Humboldt
that Company C, State militia, is
ready to respond to any call from the ]
Governor. It has been reported alBO j
that more troops would be called out, !
but Major W. C. Tatom, in command'j
here, states that no more militia is
needed. He said:
"The situation is well in hand and
there is no probability of more troops
being ordered out. The progress we
have been making is very satisractory
and the situation does not require the
presence of more soldiers."
There is no disguising the fact,
however, that tbe situation In the
disturbed district is grave, and although
all is quiet now sensational
developments are expected at any
hour. There is much uneasiness
among the law-abiding people living;
in the Lake country. Although the j
presence of the troops had a beneficial
effect, at the same time the
country people are in constant dread
of depredations from roving bands of
"night riders."
Scouting parties continue to scour
the adjacent country. Important ar
rests are expected.
A detachment of soldiers reached
here from Nashville. There are between
250 and 300 armed men In
eamp at present.
Among the prisoners held at the ;
camp is a man who, it is said, has
been identified as the leader of a band
of night riders who several weeks
ago murdered a youth near Hyman,
Ky., on the same night that a family
of negroes were killed.
It is declared here that the mother
of the murdered boy identified the
prisoner as he was passing her house
under guard.
Man Who Caused Riots Hanged.
Joseph James, the eighteen-yearold
negro murderer of C. A. Ballard,
was hanged in the county jail at
Springfield, 111. James confessed,
and prayed before he went to the
scaffold. Ballard was a railway engineer,
and was killed by James on
the night of July 30, the murder precipitating
the riots which State troops
quelled.

announced by the Speaker in response
r to a question from Premier Asquith
o j and Mr. Balfour, leader of the Opposltlon,
as Parliament was adjourned.
During the course' of the evening,
a whiie the House was discussing the

by the display of a placard and sude
den shrill cries from the ladies' gal3
lery demanding votes for women,
f- while simultaneously a bundle ol i
" handbills fluttered down from the
strangers' gallery at the opposite end
a of the chamber, and a man shouted
? protests against "injustice to wome^"
9 Attendants hurried to both gal9
leries and the male offender was une
ceremoniously ejected, while from the
* ladies' gallery presently sounds were
y heard of a desperate struggle. Two
suffragettes had firmly chained themi
selves to the grille or lattice, from
behind which feminine eyes must
D view the House in session, and re0
sisted for a time all efforts at re*
1 moval, not ceasing to cry out contib9
uously in shrill tones their demands
for votes.
'? The scene was watched with amazot
' ment from the floor of the House.
P When finally the suffragettes were
dragged from their posts and re- !
moved portions of the grille itself
9 were removed with them.
t Ten minutes later there was an9
other dramatic scene. A man in the

Lost Popularity of Billiards.
Are billiards dying out, and : are
motoring and golf killing them? In
1894 the French treasury returns . v''
noted 95,000 billiard tables in the
country. This year the figure is only 89,000.
The treasury laments the
fact, not from any disinterested love
for the grand old game, but because
every billiard table pays a heavy tax. "
Motoring, of course, contributes its
full share to the inland revenue here \
as well as elsewhere, but so far the [&
royal and ancient pastime, which is
quite new here, pays nothing to the
State. However, that may come in '
due course, and golf clubs, balls,
caddies and links may be taxed to
make up for the shrinkage in billiard
tables.?Paris Correspondence Lon- .

ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR
Old Lady Got Well With Change of
rooa.
A great scientist has said we can
put off "old age" if we can only nourish
the body properly.
To do this the right kind of foodfi
of course, is necessary. The body
manufactures poisons in the stomach
and intestines from certain kinds of
food stuffs and unless sufficient of the
right kind is used, the injurious elements
overcome the good.
"My grandmother, 71 years old,"
writes a N. Y. lady, "had been an invalid
for 18 years from what was
called consumption of the stomach
and bowels. The doctor had given
her up to die.
"I saw so much about Grape-Nuts
that I persuaded grandmother to try
it. She could not keep anything on
her stomach for more than a few minutes.
"She began Grape-Nuts with only a
teasp~onful. As that did not distress
her and as she could retain it, she
took a little more until she could take
?ii fmip foacnnnnfiils at a meal.
ail UL 1UU4 W ^ ? ___
"Then she began to gain and grow
strong and her trouble in the stomach
was gone entirely. She got to enjoy
good health for one so old. and we
know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
"The doctor was astonished that
instead of dying she got well, and
without a drop of medicine after she
began the Grape-Nuts." "There's a
Reason."
