Delphi and Sleeth Competing With One Another For Locution of a Church College—Contract Labor Case. Logansport, Ind., Jun.? 10.—A passenger engine while standing in the Pan Handle yards without any person op board ran away yesterday.

Delphi and Sleeth Rival Towns For an Associate Presbyterian Institution. Delphi, Ind., June 10.—The general assembly of the Associate Presbyterian church, which met at Farrington, Pa., in May, decided to establish an educational institution, fixing on Sleeth, six miles north of this city, as a location. Friends of the church in this locality pledged funds for grounds and erection of buildings, while members in other states pledged sufficient endowment to place the institution on its feet. Since it has become known that the church has agreed to locate the institution at Sleeth a move has been made looking to tin* location of the institution at this place, and Delphi business men will attempt to persuade the committee that has charge of the matter that Deli phi is the proper place for the college. Prominent citizens have already pledged the old fair grounds, which comprise 20 acres of the finest land in this vicinity, located high up on the banks of Deer creek, liberally studded with beautiful trees and admirably surrounded. If the college be located here the water works could be extended to the institution and electric lights furnished, It is highly probable that the inducements offered by Delphi will induce the committee to .cnauge the locat ion to this place.

John will arrange for his sister, who is now a i needy widow, to come to this country. f Contract Labor Law Case. Indianapolis, June 10.—United States District Attorney Burke has brought suit in the name of the United States against George A.

■WKm J. E. Emmett, the Cometlian, Came Near lieins' an Actor In a Tragedy, MADDENED WITH DRINK. J’nrsnes Ills Wife Into the Street, ShootHer With the Butt End of the Gan. Baby Sinnott’s Heroic Attempt to Save Mrs. Emmett. San Francisco, June 10.—J. E. Eniniot, the German dialect comedian, attempted to murder his wife Saturday evening, and was only prevented from executing his design by the forcible interference of neighbors. Emmett had bean about town all day and in the evening returned home in a drunken condition. He and his wife had an altercation and the woman fled from the house. Emmett persued her into the street and fired a pistol at her at close range. Then he caught the unfortunate woman and beat her about the face with the butt end of the gun. Two young men pulled the maddened actor from his victim and turned him over to the police. Taken to the Hospital. Mrs. Emmett wits t»keu to the receiving hospital, where site refused to allow her wounds to be examined. She had a violent attack of hysteria and the surgeons conld do nothing with her. She insisted she had not been shot and said her husband was too big a coward to shoot her. There was a slight wound in her temple, and the police surgeons said the bullet glanced from the bone and lodged under the scalp. Babv Sinnott, a child who plays with the Emmetts. made an heroic attempt to save Mrs. Emmett from her husband’s wrath, but was threwn aside by the drinkerazed man. Emmett and his wife recently concluded an engagement at a kxj alj theater, where they presented a play called “Fritz In a Madhouse.” Mrs. Emmett is a California girl, and is known on the stage as Emily Liton. She married Emmett about three years ago. After refusing to be examined at tine hospital she was allowed to leave and is stopping with •friends at a hotel. Will Not Prosecute Her Hunban<l. Emmett was bailed out of jail last night. His wife’s injuries are not serious. The bullet from his revolver struck her on the temple and glanced off, making merely a superficial wound. Mrs. Emmett had recovered her poses-, session yesterday and refused to discuss the trouble with her husband. Emmett himself said lie had no cause for shooting his wife,’and attributed his deadly assault upon her to too much drink. Mrs. Emmett will probably not prosecute her husband and the matter will be dropped. ACCUSED OF CHILD MURDER. Mrs. Radley Arrested For Strangling an Unmarried Lowvilij:, N. Y., June 10.—Albany Radley, 60 years of age, of Watson, the wife of Philo Radley, has been arrested and placed in the county jail charged with the murder of an infant born to her' unmarried daughter 13 years ago.
