Tliere Has licfii a I Jit of It (joiii On at J'ekin This Week. FOREIGN ICRS SALUTED The Einpre Powagrrr Bw HniuII j to Those 'Who Had i: educed Her Arrogance. Entrance of tbe Court Into Pekin Is Signalized By an Epochi marking Event. ' Pekin, Jan. 8. The re-entrance of the Chinese emperor into Pekin yesterday was tbe most remarkable episode in the annals of the dynasty, save the Bight of the Chinese court when Pekin was bombarded by the allied forces. The spectacular phases of the return of the court exceeded expectations. The cortege was a sort of glorified lord mayor's show, and was a bewildering barbaric exhibition of Oriental tinseled splendor. Its chief significance was the complete effacement of the traditional deification of Chinese royalty. Foreigners were given greater facilities of witnessing the ceremonial than would have been afforded them at most European courts. The scene at the Cuien gate, when the emperor and the dowager empress entered the temple to offer thanks for their safe Journey, was nothing less than revolutionary when viewed in the light of all Chinese customs. The horseshoe wall forming the ancient gate was crowded with Europeans, diplomats, army officers, missionaries, ladles, photographers and correspondents. When the emperor and the dowager empress arrived at the temple, the procession halted and their majesties alighted from their chairs, which were covered with imperial yellow silk and lined with sables. The emperor proceeded to the temple of the god of war on the west side of the plaza, with hundreds of foreigners peering down only 40 feet above him, and dozens of cameras were focused upon the Son of Heaven. When he returned his chair was borne through the gate. Then the chair of the dow'ter empress was brought to the doorway of the temple of the goddess ofmercy on the east siue of the plaza, and the dowager empress appeared. Amid a great scuffling of attendants she proceeded Into the temple on the arms of two officials, followed by a roTnpany of Buddhist priests bearing offerings. The spectators then heard the booming of the temple bell. After an interval of five minutes the dowager empress reappeared. Standing in the doorway of the temple she looked upward. Directly overhead were the German minister. Dr. Mumm Von Schwartzenstein. the secretaries of the German legation, the officers and ladies from the American garrison, and newspaper correspondents. The dowager empress saw the foreigners and bowed low. She advanced a few steps and bowed again in acknowledgment of the salutations of the foreigners. She returned to her chair looking upward to the semi-circle of for-' eign faces, and bowing repeatedly. In the meantime the Chinese soldiers, Manchu bannerman and minor officials who had crowded the plaza were reverently kree?ing. The two arches at the sides of the ancient gateway framed hundreds of faces of Chinese cociies wh-, emboldened by the presence of foreigners, ventured to gaze upon their nil vs. This incident cons itu'ed a most sharp contrast to the ol.l regime, whrn neither diploma's trnr natives were permitted to view the passage of royal personages along the streets. The expres- j sion of the dowager empress seemed almost appealing as she faced those : who had humbled her and brought her down from her former arrogance, and j this confirmed the impression that she j is returning to Pekin with anxiety for her safety. , 1 , It appears that the empress dow- ; ager ordered that every courtesy be extended to the foreigners at Pekin I and that the efforts to exclude them j from witnessing the passage of the J imperial cortege emanated from local ; officials. ' Narrow Escape for Mr. Bar tel. "William Bartel, sr., bad a very narrow escape Yesterday back of tbe Marshall, Rostfc Bartel factory. The Panhandle switch runs close to the building. He had started out of the door just as a car came down the switch. Others saw the danger and called to him just io time so he could flatten himself against the wall, which he did until the car passed. After the danger was over it was found he had squeezed himself into less than seven inches of space. He Suffered Too. El wood Morris stock also suffered by the fire at J. M. Williams & Co. 's. .The smoke and heat damaged a good deal of the stock of wall paper, etc, in the rear of the store. The loss is

entirely covered by insurance, as his friends wili be glad to learn. Back to School. Misses Inez Williams aod Fannie Campbell have returned to Nation! Park Seminary at Washington. Willard Carr and Guy Study have returned to Exeter. Ramsey PoundstoDe is off to Mt. Clair military academy. The Purdue students have all gone back. They are Raymond Caseley, Raymond Nicholson. Halsey Marcbant, James Davis, Rudo Fromme, Fred Martin, Fred , Ward, Howard Burgess, Clifford Bradbury, and Ray Holton. .

Come to Grief. One Edwards is one of the laborers who were benefited by the new law, and does not appear, td have appreciated the good turn the city did him by paying him that extra, money. Business men complain that he drew the extra 179.40 given him and skipped out without paying debts he owed, and now comes the report that he is in jail at Cincinnati for some transgression of the laws. - mpE ii Wreck of Railroad Trains lna New York Tunnel. Many Lives Lost. New York. Jan. 8. The Norwalk accommodation train on the New York, New Haven & Hartford road was run into in tbe tunnel at fiftysixth street and Park avenue early this morning by the White Plains local and a fearful loss of life resulted. The Norwalk train was crowded with passengers and was three minutes late. It was stooped by signal at fifty-sixth street and almost immediately the White Plains local pluoged into tbe rear car, splitting it and telescoping the next ; car. 1 wenty-eight dead have been found. Among tbe dead are: A. G. Wal-1 ton, New Rocbelle: A. E. Mills, O. W. Meyrowitz, N. Y.; George Potter, New Rochelle, Albert M. Perrin, j New Rocbelle; H. G. Thomas, New York; B D.C.

Mars, G W. S. Ring, F. Washbarn, all of New Rochelle. Among tbe injured are Albert W. Adams, New Rochelle; Albert Wadley, New York. At eleven o'clock railroad officials placed the number of dead at fifteen. Among them was one woman. The police and firemen rendered quick service saving many lives by extinguishing the fire. The officials of 1 1 idem say the train was stopped by tbe signal on account of some trouble ahead but it is not yet found out what the trouble was. The flagman got off the train with a red light and torpedo but whether the engineer of the coming train saw the light or heard the torpedo the flag man does not know. Tbe latest statement is that seventeen were killed and forty injured, twelve seriously. Tbe engineer and fireman of tbe White Plains local and a towerman have been arrested. Licenses Granted.

Talks About the Traction Line to the North, From Richmond The Towns It Will Strike. Mr. Puis, tbe promoter of tbe Northern traction line which has been granted a franchise in Richmond, was here yesterday to meet the trustees of Spring Grove. The company made the trustees a propo sition to give tbe corporation 1,000 in money for cutting down the Miller hill to a 3 per cent, grade. As tbe trustees did cot want to agree to that, they have cow proposed to ask tbe corporation to make th cut to 4J per cent, without tbe $1,000. The trustees are considering it and are to report by the last of the week, when Mr. Puis will be hereto see them. This is tbe last link in tbe lite from here to Marion, and it is profoundly to be hoped tbat an agreement can : be reached soon. Mr. Puis says tbat they have alii tbe fratcbises and all rights of way for tbe line. They have also com j plete feurvevs, made by Kline, who is now doing the surveys for the Rich mond Street and Interurban com pany. "And we have the money to build also, says Mr. Puis, and will begin just as soon as the weather will permit, probably in February." The work will start in or near this city. The line begins here, as indicated in the franchise printed yesterday, goes north through Spring Grove, Chester, Fountain City, Lynn, Winchester, Ridgeville, Red Key, Dunkirk, Hartford City, Up'and and Gas Citv. Later they expect to extend to Marion, in fact are working on the franchises now. "I can't see," said Mr. Puis, "'why people hero c'oubt th building of the road. We have put in many months of bard work which is harder work than people generally imagine get ting franchises and rights of way. We bave spent thousands of dollars in getting surveys made. We certainly are not doing this work for fun or spending this morey just to see it burn. It is a business proposi tion with us, ana the completion of tbe line is only a question of time. G8LFDEH0CRAT v Elected Chairman of State Democratic Committee. Special to the Richmond Palladium : Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 8 William H. O'Brien, of Lawrenceburg, was elected state Democratic chairman today. He has been a gold Democrat. A GRANiSIGHT. The Planet Venus Visible by Daylight The planet Venus has been a most brilliant sight in tbe western horizon for some days, being at her greatest brilliancy, shining like an immense gem in the sky for several hours after sunset. This - is due to the fact that Venus is now as near to tbe earth as she ever gets. With a good strong field glass she exhibits the cresent shape, looking like the moon in miniature. The sight must be splendid with the Earl bam tele scope, and no doubt if parties weie to form in town and request it tbe profesor of astroromy at Earlham would allow all who wished to use it of evenings. On tomorrow and for a week afterward tbe planet will be visible to the naked eye by daylight. By looking carefully it can be easily found. At 3:15 tomorrow afternoon look due south at about tbe place where the sun was at noon and you can't help but ficd it after a few minutes' watching. Seventh Ward Repubiican Meeting. , There will be a meeting of the Republicans of the Seventh ward at Schuman & Sieck's grocery, 203 Richmond avenue, next Friday evening, January 10. 1902, at 7 o'clock, for the purpose of electing a member of the Wayne County Republican Central committee and precinct committeemen for said ward and for the transaction of such other business as may be deemed proper. It is urgently requested that all Republicans in the ward attend this meeting. "Caught in the Web" Closed. Billy Dobbins returned home this morning. The show, ''Caught in the Web," closed at the end of their engagement at Chicago. Mrs. J. H. Dobbins is much worse, so much so tliat Mr. Dobbins will take her to Mexico, hoping a change of climate mav restore her health. This neeesitated the closing of the show, at least temporarily.- Mr. and Mrs. Dobbins will probably come to Richmond on their way sooth. -

Tlis is our thiny-fourth anniversary. The past year has been in many fesp cts a pleasant one for our woric.- The Lord has watched, over and cared for His own acd provided for nil our wants. We have made 00 special improvements, only needful repairs. Mrs. Sykes, the matron, left in February, being physically unable for the 'work. We were very fortunate in securing Mrs. Rose Marray of Cincinnati, who st 11 remains With us. She has proved to be the right woman for the place, eoual to every emergency, and fulfills her duties with patient painstaking care. She is of great value to us and we esteem her highly. Having so many old ladies, and so few who were able to -work, we secured Misa Mary Townsead as assistant matron. Being a Richmond woman you all know and esteem her worth. We have cared for 10 old ladies the past year, 8 of whom are still with us. There have been 8 cni'dren brought in to be cared for until other arrangements could be made for them.. There were 6 birth , 2 deaths one a middle aged woman suffering with a cancer, who soon passed away, and one infant a week old. Four transients, one having 2 Schildren; the other, 1 child, were housed for a season. Five unfortunate girls were cared for; two feeble' minded srirls and 23 prisoners; 24 of Much were white and 4 colored; 2 under 17 years of age. Two other sic! women, were cared for. Eight insa,, 2 were youngwomen, 6 were oktiaaies. We now have one. rheumatic lady who has long been with us; 1 unfortunate girl, 2 feeble minded girls, 1 girl for safe keeping; 4 old ladies, besides 2 old ladies who are demented at times, and 2 others who are entirely insane. We have one small child to care for. We protest a?ainst keeping the insane without a proper place to shield them from each other, as from the prisoners. We are told tbe county can not afford at present to enlarge the jail, so we can have this protection. Wayne county has paid out a great deal of money tbe past year, but we think tbat no taxpayer who would look into the situation would demur at the one thousand dollars additional needed to protect their insane from each other, or from the criminals. Not your mother nor daughter? No, not today, but it may be tomorrow. We do not ask the county for a matron, nor an attendant, but if we must run an annex to the insane asylum, in the name of humanitv furnish us with (he proper facilities for caring for them. Our annual donation day was well remembered both in the city and county and a large amount of sup plies sent in. Mrs, Agnes Gaar furnished tbe Thanksgiving dinner, and also sent supplies for Christmas, but Mrs. Elizabeth Williamson having previously sent in an elegant dinner, that of Mrs. Gaar's was saved for New Year. We are un der great obligations to the public who sent in gifts to individuals, as well as to those who sent supplies for all. To the Friends' church, who sent collections to buy pifts, the Garfield school, tbe press, the Rich ardson-Webber Candy company, the Flower Mission, the florists, our merchants, who so kindly responded to every call, and our friends outside the city, who send us such liberal money donations. Our holiday season was, indeed, a happy time for the inmates. Time will not allow us to give a detailed report of all donors. Our needs for the coming year are some more satisfactory way of heating the Home department, and the relief before spoken of in regard to the insane, the doing away with the use of coal oil lamps and the substitution of electric lights, if the city will furnish them at a reasonable rate, or at the same rate of the other city or county institutions. Respectfully submitted, Mrs. A. M. Taylor, Sec'y. PHTSICIAX'S REPORT From April, 1901, to Dec 31, 1901: The health of the inmates has been good, for the number in the home. There has been no epidemic or in fectdous diseases in the home. There ha ire been three births since my appointment in April. One child died. One old lady received a fall that will cripple her so she will ' bcPnnabie to walk unaided. One child was brought

in afflicted with burns of so serious a nature tbat her recovery is among the marvelous cures The matron in btr line of dutv received an injury to her hand which resulted in an ulcer of several months' duration, which caused a great deal of solicitude. This rejo.-t would be incomplete if I failed to recognize Mrs. Murray's services as matron. Her intelligent care of the injured and sick has been faithfully and successfully bestowed. I give her tbe highest commendation. Respectfully submitted, W. B. Graham. M D. REPORT OF TREASl'&ER OK BOARD OK TRt STEES. v. Am't dueTreas.

MAD LOVER'S DEED

Bride of a Week Slain By a Rejected Suitor at Knox. A DOUBLE TRAGEDY Henry Clements Shoots Mrs. Edward Davis and Then Turns the Weapon Upon Himself. Called His Victim to the Door of Her New Home and Shot Without Warning. Knox, Ind., Jan. 8.—Henry Clements, aged 19, shot and instantly killed Mrs. Edward Davis at her home here yesterday. Clements then shot himself in the head, inflicting what will probably be a fatal wound. Clements and his victim were engaged, but a week ago she married Edward Davis. The shooting occurred in the presence of her husband and mother. Clements called her outside the house and after a short conversation shot her dead. Following the girl's marriage Clements became morose, and attempted suicide. Yesterday he borrowed a revolver and sought the house of his recreant sweetheart, She at first refused to meet him, but finally agreed, saying that it would, be the last time she would ever speak to him. He fired almost immediately. The ball entered her left temple, producing instant death. The ball directed at his own head entered below the right ear, ranging upward through the cerebrum. In Clement's clothing were found several letters declaring that he preferred death with her to life without her. During a lucid moment he asked if Mrs. Davis was dead, and upon learning that she was, expressed satisfaction. A CITY'S POWER Supreme Court Makes Interesting Ruling On Moore Law. Indianapolis, Jan. 8.— The supreme court yesterday held that a city has no authority under the Moore law, in addition to forbidding the sale of intoxicating liquor outside of the "business portion" of the city, arbitrarily to define by ordinance what are the limits of such portion of the city, and within what particular parts of the city the sale of such liquor shall be unlawful by reason of there being: "residence or suburban portions."" The decision was made in the case of Daniel B. Rowland vs. the City of Greencastle. Rowland had a saloon in Greencastle, not far from DePauw university. The city council passed an ordinance outlining the "business portion" of the town, so as not to include Rowland's place, and forbade any sales of liquor in any other parts of town. The supreme court holds that the ordinance was valid, but that its provisions were only prima facie evidence that all the territory outside of the prescribed limits consists of residence and suburban districts, and that in a prosecution for violating the ordinance the defendant has a right to prove that his saloon was actually within a business portion of the town, although the ordinance declared otherwise. Dismissed the Suit. Vernon, Ind., Jan. 8. —William F. Keyes brought suit against Ed Sherin, saloon keeper, and his bondsmen, claiming $10,000 damages because of the death of his 17-year-oid son, Noble Keyes, who is alleged to have drank to excess in Sherin's saloon and to have lost his life by falling from the cars while returning home. The suit, was dismissed after the plaintiff had presented his testimony. Foiled the Blackmailer. Huntington, Ind., Jan. 8.— Dr. W. F. Smith of Bippus received a threatening letter in effect that his life was in peril if he did not place $200 in an envelope and leave it on a window sill of the Union church. A letter was placed there, and an armed guard was stationed, who shot at the would-be blackmailer as he hastened sway. Indicted For Murder. Valparaiso, Ind., Jan. 8.—The grand jury has returned indictments against Roy Sowards, Michael Curtin and Robert Fleming for the murder of Edward Davidson, whose dead body was found lying beside the Pennsylvania railway tracks, this city, Dec.20. Miners Crushed. Brazil, Ind., Jan. 8.—Robert White and John Booth, eployed [employed] as miners by the Crawford Coal company, were caught by falling slate. Booth's right shoulder was broken and his chest crushed, and White suffered a broken back. Murder Trial Continued. Danville. Ind.. Jan. 8.—The defendants in the Wilson Haynes murder case were arraigned yesterday and entered pleas of not guilty. The trial was then continued until Monday, Feb. 3.
