A. J. Cottrell.

The itain street crossing of the E. A T. H. was thii scene oi a terrible death last night, even worse than the killing of Switchman Trace on the same tracks a i-hort distance south, the night before A train oi loaded coal cars was bf moved north and blocked the cnA A man was seen to come hurrff toward the train from the West and hesitating, as though impatient to proceed, he finally mounted hastily upon tbe draw bars between two of the cars and appeared to hang suspended for a moment. The next thing which horrified tbe few people standing near was to see the man suddenly fall face downward across the rails between the cars which were in motion.

When the train had been stopped the unfortunate man had been dragged to the center of tbe street railway tracks. Tbe wheels had crushed rough his body just below the arm pits and one arm, the right, had been gcSund off. The remains werd dreadfully mutilated, almost beyond adequate description. Henry Steeg, assisted by Merchant Policeman Ed Gilkerson, dragged the torn body from beneath the wheels and laid it down on tbe sidewalk near Smith's coal office, where it was recognized by Frank Barnson, bartender at Peter Staff's saloon, who said that the man but a little while before the accident, been in the saloon, taken a drink and left hurriedly. He did not know the man's name but remembered to have seen him frequentiy.

Coroner Mattox directed the remains to be taken to Katzenbach's undertaking establishment where asearch of the pockets was made. On a celluloid tablett was written the name of W'm. Hoff, 018 South Second street," and "Annie Snow." Iu another pocket was discovered a postal card addressed from Atberton, Ind., to A. J. "Cottrfll, 201 Lafayette avenue, Terre Haute, Ind. A letter written by C. J. Cobleigh, of this city to A. J. Cottrell, Atberton, Ind., was also found.

Coroner Mattox took possession of tbe papers and other contents of the man's pockets find Rtnt word early this morning to Atberton for information. A large number of persons called at Katzenb&ch's establishment this forenoon and the man was identified by several persons as having been employed for siveral weeks here iu the work of setting up the poles for the electric street railway. Since he come to this city he has been boarding at the Henderson house. S. V. Curry, proprietor of that hotel was seen and stated positively that the dead man was John Cotterell that he was 28 or 29 years of age, and that he was a son of Isaac Cotterell, of Atberton, who at one time was one of the wealthiest landown ers of this county, whose landed possessions for years extended along the Parke county*-line, and who became finally involved and lost much of his property The deceased man is represented to be unmarried and Isaac Cottrell's oldest living son. Mre. Dr. Latighead called at the undertaker's and identified the remains as those of John Cotterell who, about eight years ago, was in her employ in Parke county.

The remains of the unfortunate man presented a terrible appearance this morning. The face was suffused with blotches caused by the bursting of bloodvessels. The neck was broken two deep eashes extended nearly around tho entire base of the brain tbe bonfs of the hands were brokejp and distorted the body below the arms was crushed in from the back the right arm was very nearly amputated ana the entire body from head to foot bofe he marks of its horrible treatment The remains were left at4he undertaker's until noon and were then placed in a casket.

THE QAINEY-SNACK AFFAIR. Tlie Pucaflo-VnifllUl Awunnlt* Snack In

Ills Own lionse.

Mike Oainey on Sunday assaulted John Snack, a Macksville saloonkeeper, and an old citixen of the place, and was thrashed for his pains within an inch of his life. This much has already been chronicled. The assault was made on Snack's own premises was made under an errorous idea that Snack had furnished information to the police that Gainey was violating the state law and the King ordinance. Mr. Snack, to a Nsws reporter, this morning said: 1 wish vou would do me the favor to correct the statement that I have given the police any information against Mike Gainey or any other saloon man, it is not true. 2 have my own business to attend to and 1 have alwaye attended to it Mike Gainey assaulted a little man not half as big as he, because he said 1 conducting a straight business. Gainey sent me word several times that he was going to !,Hdo me up" and finally came into ray place of business and assaulted me, first calling me every dirty name we could think of. I believe in this coontiy a man's heme is generally considered his castle. I think so at any rate and accordingly save Gainey a thrashing such as he nchly deeei ved."

Roundsman John Butler also informed the reporter that Snack had given the txUee no information regarding Gainey or any one else and that the report* to that effect were absolutely false.

BEHIND THE SCENES.

A Boir

Daring lOlt»n Lewii Performance.

There was meiry behind the scenes at Naylor'e, last night, during the Lillian Lewis performance, and the tragic events of the play bid fair to be rivaled by an encounter in the wings. Marston, husband of Miss Lewis and manager of tbe show, called two policemen and had his treasurer, Jack North, incontinently fired from the theater by two big policemen. A NEWS reporter witnessed the row. MarBton intended going to Chicago and asked North to take chaise of the ihow during his absence. North asked him about salary, Marston having ordered a $1.5 per week reduction. North refused to go on except as according to written contract at a salary of §50 per week. A war of words ensued at tbe door, where the first scene was enacted. Marston discharged North and the latter laughed in his face. Marston returned to the stage. North followed. Then Marston hustled iu two coppers. "Throw that man out," he exclaimed. One of the officers seized North by the arm. "Let go of me," exclaimed North. "Let so of me, I say. You cannot throw me out." The officers grabbed him and a lively tussle ensued. North and the two officers lumbered up against the proscenium. One of them drew back to strike North. "Don't you dare to strike me!" exclaimed North. Marston was rivaling a Sioux ghost dance. "Put him out. "Put him out," he exclaimed, as he danced about in his excitement. Finally one of the coppers went back to his hip pocket, presumably after his pistol. "I'll go out quietly," said North, "but you can't throw me out." He was released and left the theater by the side entrance.

The events were witnessed by those on the stage. All were excited except Mis Lewis, who was then approaching the tragic ending of the third act. The actors and actresses looked into the wings with blanched faces. "My God," exclaimed one, "what ia the matter?" When the curtain fell a rush was made for tbe scene of action. One lady of the company thought North had been stabbed and came very nearly fainting. The members of the company took North's part.: One of them rushed into Miss Lewis' room. Miss Lewis was heard to exclaim tragically: "Mr. Marston is capable of attending to bis own affairs. He is capable of managing his company." There was confusion under the stage like Babel. Two of the gentlemen and one lady demanded to know if North had been arrested, and refused to go on with the next act. Marston collapsed. The last act was yet to be giveu. It could not be given with three leading parts omitted. Along and painful wait ensued. Marston then told his company that North was not under arrest and the show proceeded with little spirit. All were excited and incensed beyond all measure at Marston's actions. The only excuse Marston offered to THE NEWS man for the rumpus was that North had disturbed the house while in front.

A NEWS reporter, after the performanca.sojight the. XQ.QJCP of Mr. North at tKe^renre Eteute house? was found in not the sunniest and most amicable mood possible, but withal courteous and not over-severe in the allusions to the author of "Credit Lorraine." The entire male portion of the Lillian L?wis cast filed into the room and showered upon North the warmest expressions of friendship, the while literally cauterizing Marston. The stone gentleman who disportS^imtelf on the pinnacle of McKeen's bank could have readily dis tinguished the whereabouts of the company's sympathies in the difficulty between the treasurer and proprietor. The former's virtues were extolled beyond measure, while tbe letter's shortcomings recived a tribute of bitter sarcasm. Not a single friend did Marston have in all tbe company.

I'll tell you," remarked one of the company

1

"that mao,

North is one of the most excellent gentlemen I ever met. He is thoroughly conscientious, painstaking and upright in his professional work. I condemn Marston for his ingratitude. North has worked for that fellow day and night during the sixteen weeks that we have been out and this is the reward he receives. He has done more for Lillian Lewis than any other man ever would have done if he could. He nas acted as treasurer of the company, attended to the press work, the railroad business, the baggage, has ran the stage and represented a role in the plav. He has done the work of four men for one's salary. He has set up late and risen early in behalf of Marston's enterprise he b&» labored with an earnestness, an honesty and an efficiency for Lillian Lewis' *ue cess, that not one man in ten millions would have exerted. Wilfred North did all this for Marston, and was repaid with an effort to accomplish his undignified ejection from the wings. It's atrocious! absolutely execrable!"

The sentiment expressed by this gentleman was echoed by every member of the company. It seems that North, who is somewhat of a newspaper man and writer, joined himself heart and brain to the interests of Marston, in New York last summer, and that together the gentlemen put the finishing touches ah fj\i

on "Credit Lorraine." men Korth »i chased apart interest in the play asm LILLK

urin

Then North the play as

due time Lillian Lewis opened to good bosnces in Buffalo, N. Y. The dramatic critics of that city did not take kindly to the distinguished lady's queer manner of delineating the emotional "Leooria," and this worried her very much. She called upon Mr. North, as the press agent, to suppress the unfavorable comment Unfortunately, while be could he treasurer stag* director, pressman, actor, route manager and a great many other things for the Lewis Combination. Mr. North could not muxxSe the amusement editors. This displeased Mias Lewis greatly and she refu»ed to go on]under the management of North. The latter then sold hra interest In the play back to Marston aod began work, linger contract, at a salary of $50 per week. Tins show played to phenomenal business throughout Texas and indeed right up to within the past ten days, wh*a tight brnines® began to be the rale. Marston, at this juncture, *opreached North with a proposition of a $15 a week reduction ia salary. North objected. Things ran along until last Bight, when they readied a crafts.

A REMARKABLE DUEL-

Details of an Enconnter In Peruvian Territory. WASHINGTON, December 10.—An attache of the Peruvian Legation received yesterday from Lima a story of a remarkable duel which is an irresistablereminder of the scenes described in Balzac's novels. Two wealthy residents, M, Canevaro and M. Bareda, married sisters, both beautiful ladies, but, unfortunately, tbe two became estranged, and for several years past they have not been on friendly terms. A short time since a younger sister of the ladies was married and the wedding occurred in grand style at the residence of Mrs. Bareda. On account of the coolness between the families, Mrs. Canevaro was not invited. Four days before the wedding M,_ Canevaro encountered M. Bareda on the street, when resented the indignity

grother-in-lawhewife

ut upon his by sailing into bis after the manner of John Sullivan, and M. Bareda retired to nurse a big black eye. The wounded honor of tbe parties could be healed only by recourse to the code, and a challenge was soon sent and accepted. M. Bareda was an expert swordsman but a poor pistol shot, while M. Canevare could hit the little end of a cigar with a revolver at fitty paces but knew nothing of the sword. Finally, the seconds fixed up tbe matter and pistols were agreed upon. A secluded spot, and the early morning of tho wedding day were aiso fixed upon, and at the appointed time the two contestants appeared each with two seconds. The revolvers were carefully loaded and the seconds decided bylot which should go to M. Bareda and which to M. Canevaro. Twen ty paces were measured off, the principals took their places, and one of the seconds counted off", one, two, three. Each fired, but M. Canevaro was unhurt, and M. Bareda felt a bullet whistle between his legs. Again they tried it, and M. Bareda fired unsuccessfully and M. Canevaro's pistol did not go off. Tbe seconds then took the pistols and mixed them up, giving the principals a chance to draw again. M. Canevaro drew the same one, and the third time the word was given to fire, when Canevaro's pistol failed and M. Bareda shot his antagonist iu the he.\d. Bareda mounted his horse and galloped to the city. Rushing to the Chinese legation, where he had made previous arrangements for the purpose, ho con cealed himself and remained hidden for a week, on the supposition that he had slain his opponent. When Canevaro fell, the blood gushed in torrents from his head and a priest was sent for at once, but later developements showed that tho bullet struck him in tho forehead and glanced from the bone, making an ugly flesh wound and no more. Both men have siuce received congratulations, but that night M. Bareda was, of course, unavoidably absent from the wedding, but since then he has been thanking his patron saint for his miraculous deliverance.

E Emperor Befaiies to Interfere. NEW YOBK, December 10.—A Berlin dispatch says the emperor has refused to interfere in the case of Count de Leiderwitz, who last week was convicted of renting out his apartments, in one of the tBdSEflmttifiati® Jo#3ftSSs la this city, to couples desiring a place of rendezvous, and sentensed to two weeks' imprisonment as a common felon. The count is the representative of one of the oldest and most aristocratic families of the German nobility. He was defended by able counsel and* although the proofs of his guilt were overwhelming, he was given the lightest punishment possible under the code. Had he been of inferior birth he would, undoubtedly, have been given twelve months' imprisonment. The sentence, however, light as it-is, means social ruin. A powerful appeal was made to the emperor, to save tlie count from imprisonment, but a reply was returned that the offense could not bs condoned.

SJUnlKttr Hicks Welcomed. NEW YORK, December 10.—The latest Peruvian mails state that the Hon. John Hicks, of Wisconsin, United States minister to Peru, reached Lima on November 1st, on bis return from a brief vacation in the United States.

On his arrival lie was heartily welcomed by both tbe American aad foreign residents, with both of whom he has become exceedingly popular, and an impromptu reception and welcome was tendered him at the legation. Minister Hicks was accompanied by A. G. Daugherty, of Peoria, Jills., the new consul to Callao, and who is now installed in the new position.

Conflict.

DCBUN, December 10.—Parncll arrived here this morning by special train, from Kingstown, which wasifilied with admirers. An immense crowd had assembled around the railway station. Cheering begau soon as the train came insight When Parnell appeared the enthusiasm reached its climax. As he took his seat in the carriage waiting for him the horses were unharnessed and he was drawn to his hotel by the people.

Soon after arriving at his hotel, Parnell went to the office of "United Ireland," took possession and ordered the issue of tbe currentstopped." The Alitor of the newspaperarrived and found Parnell in possession. The latter in tlie presence of the sub-sheriff read the articles of incorporation of the United Ire land Publishing Company, justifying his action. The editor refusing to acknowledge his authority was ordered out of the office. He refused and was ejected after a scufile in which the employes took part with sticks and stools and 'some blood was shed. When order was restored Parnell spoke with the members of the staff who promised allegiance to him.

Parnell declined tlie offer of the Northwestern railway company of a reserved section for his trip to Ireland. He said he preferred to travel in an ordinarv first coach.

There is disagreement iu the press accounts of what took place at tho time of tho split iu Nationalists' ranks occurred Satumay. The Central News which stated there was a goqd deal of disorder is being boycotted by the Heaiey faction, but it adheres to its original report of affairs and cl ums the other reports representing everything as fraternal were "cocked" in the interest of the secedere.

As the Parnell party camo ashore at Kingstown this morning, there were shouts for P.irnell, mingled with cheers for MM. O'Shea. Parnell was the last passenger to leave the boat. As he proceeded to the train the crowd became enthusiastic in its demonstration and he was cheered again and again. A number of addresses were presented to bim. In reply to them he expressed thanks for his welcome, lie said he did not fear of tlie result of the fight he had undertaken. He had never lead the Irish party wrong in the past and would not do so in the future.

When the train arrived in the city Timothy Healy hurriedly descended, entered a cab and drove away. Ho was recognized by the crowd however, before he reached the cab and was greeted with groans and shouts of "Chief Justice Healy."

Parnell has appointed Edmund Leamy member for Sligo editor.

DIFFICULTTO GET.

Obs*nelc» Thrown fn tne Wny n( tt« Bank of Knaland. Lownoif, December 10.—Great difficulty is being experienced by the foreign banking houses here who are endeavoring to obtain gold from the bank of France for shipment to New York, owing to obstacles placed in their way by tbatbank.
