Megrew, who was the first president of the national organization of United Spanish War Veterans. Veterans Meet at Banquet. The Spanish war veterans fought the war over and over again at a

banquet at which they were guests at the St. Denia hotel last night. Those who saw the actual Philippine service told about it and those who did not

get so far away from home listened and envied the Philippine heroes. Henry Victor was toastmaster. Among the speakers was Joseph Kelley, now on leave of absence from the Manila fire department. Kelley is a first lieutenant in the department and has been serving the United States government in the Philippines for ten years. ; "When I got back to San Francisco a few months ago," Kelley said, "I knelt down in the street and kissed the very mud in the gutter so glad was I to get back to my native land. Frisco people who saw the act said I was crazy and I guess I was crazy with joy to get home." Maj. D. I. McCormick said it would be interesting to know how many men Indiana gave to the Spanish American war. Col. Boyle was prepared with figures. He showed that from April 26, 1808 to a date which he did not recall late in the year 1901 Indiana furnished 13,900 men to the service that resulted from the war with Spain.

PASSENGERS ON STEAM AND ELECTRIC RAILWAYS IN INDIANA ESCAPE LUCKILY RAILROAD COMMISSION REPORTS.

Indianapolis, Ind., July 28. The fourth quarterly accident bulletin of

the Indiana Railroad Commission issued yesterday shows that no passengers on Slearn or interurban lines were killed in Indiana during the three months ending June 30, 1908. The bulletin shows also that no employe has been killed on any of the interurban lines of the state for the last six months. Fifteen passengers have been killed on the steam and electric lines in the

last year. One hundred and ten employes have been killed on steam and electric roads and 93 ieople were killed on railroad crossings during the same period. One hundred and seventy-four trespassers were killed dur-

ng the year. The grade crossing is

made a subject of warning in the bulletin to railroads and the public. Regarding the ninety-three deaths at

INDIANA MERCHANT CLEVERLY SWINDLED Fake Revenue Man Inspects Cigar Boxes. Rose Hill, Ind., July 2S. A well dressed stranger entered the general store of Henry Kramer and represented himself to be a revenue officer, inspected the stock of tobacco and cigars and especially the empty boxes. He found several stamps on empty cigar boxes that had not been canceled to his taste and at once informed Kramer that he would have to take him into custody. Kramer begged manfully, and told the man that he had not intentionally violated e law. After a long parley the stranger agreed that if Kramer would give him $10 he would suppress all the evidence. Kramer quickly handed o'ver the $10 and the stranger departed.

THREE DROWN WHEN

LAUNCH TURNS TURTLE Bad Accident on Monongahela

River.

Pittsburg, Penn., July 28. The Monongahela River, swollen from recent rains, was last evening the scene of one of the worst boating accidents in

the history of Pittsburg. The eighteen-foot launch, Merry

Widow, with 12 persons on board, was

run down by a towboat and three lives

were lost. The dead are:

Rev. Thomas Rhydderch, pastor of

the Welsh Mission of the Methodist

Episcopal Church of the Southside, aged 52. George KImberly, machinist, aged 65, Henry Schaeffer, half owner and op

erator of tho Merry Widow, aged 19.

The accident occurred about

o'clock, shortly after the mills on the Pittsburg side of the river had quit for the day. All the passengers in

the boat, including Rev. Rhydderch

were mill workmen returning to their

homes.

The minister, whose mission church was very small, was compelled to work in the mills to help support his

family.

The Merry Widow was thrown over on her side and turned turtle. Nine of the passengers either swam directly to safety or perched on the over

turned boat.

In

republican state committee of Indiana that he will be able to give the Hoosier state some time during the coming campaign. Mr. Shaw communicated with the committee yesterday, but did not say when he would come to Indiana. "I regard Mr. Shaw as one of the most convincing speakers in this country." said C. G. Sefrit, member of the state executive committee. "He ought to make a profound impression on the people of Indiana and no doubt he will do so." Secretary Riddick expects to have

demands from every part of the state for a speech from the former secretary of the treasury. "It is probable," said Mr. Riddick, "that we can only have Mr. Shaw for two or three speeches, and it is likely that he will come late in the campaign." State Chairman Goodrich yesterday

received a letter from John L. Griffiths, United States consul at Liverpool, who announces that he wants to get into the "thick of the fight" in Indiana before it is over. In his letter Mr. Griffiths promises to spend two or three weeks in Indiana during some part of the campaign. "With such men as Mr. Griffiths helping us," said Chairman Goodrich, "we ought to feel pretty confident of the result in Indiana."

It was decided to invite John W.

Evidence against hirn was only circumstantial, and it seemed that he might escape till the magistrate had the remains of a widow, who was supposed to be a victim of his, dug up, nnd Mueller was confronted with them. Then he broke down and confessed to a string of murders extending over a period of eight years.

How He Won the Title "The Carthaginian cf Maine." Among the many stories of Ilannibal Hamlin's early experiences in the Maine legislature none Is more animated than his tilt with John Holmes, interesting, besides, because it gives the origin of "the Carthaginian of Maine," a name that stuck to Hamlin through life. Holmes had been in the United States senate, and at this particular time, wrote General Hamlin, a member of the state house of representatives, was endeavoring to domineer over it

Hamlin disputed the leadership with him, and Holmes attempted to crush

his young opponent by coarsely ridicul

ing his swarthy complexion. Instantly

Hamlin jumped to his feet and, point

ing his finger at Holmes, retorted: "If the gentleman chooses to find fault with me for my complexion, what has he to say about himself? I take my

complexion from nature. lie gets his from the brandy bottle. Which is more honorable?" This retort was

But as long as they are true to themselves and to nature and as long as the member from Alfred sticks to the brandy bottle they need not fear him." As soon as the

cheers of the house could be sufficiently silenced Holmes retracted his words and made a manly apology. The young Carthaginian rooted the old Roman" was one humorous comment on the Incident, and from that time Hamlin was thus frequently characterized. Lewis ton Journal.

came insane.

With a whoop of joy she made

straight for Mrs. Stanley. Grabbing her she proceeded to- hug and kiss her in spite of her frantic efforts to

get away. She was fairly crushing

her employer to death when help ar rived and tore her away. The police were summoned, but Lll lian became rational before they ar

rived. She was "fired", however, and

a short time after she returned to

her own home hurry-up calls were

sent to the police from that neighbor

hood. Lillian was on another rampage

and she had to be locked up.

It is said that her mind turned on
