Murder, Captured.
MURDERED FOR INSURANCE
De Kalb Woman Is Said to Have
Conspired with Husband of Emma
P. Kaiser to Get $10,000—LShe ls
Sent to Jail.
Norristown, Pa., Nov. 5.—The murder
of Emma P. Kaiser on a dark and lone-
ly road in Upper Merion township, near
Norristown, on the evening of Oct. 28,
1896,, is revived by the arrest of Lizzie
De Kalb, alleged to be the woman in
black who was on the scene of the
murder about the time of the firing of
the fatal shot. Charles 0. Kaiser, Jr.,
husband osf‘the woman who was mur-
dered, is under sentence of death.
The arrest was made on Tuesday
night by Capt. Rodenbaugh and De-
tective Crawford, of Philadelphia.
Capt. Rodenbaugh says the woman
was taken into custody on a Pennsyl-
vania Railroad train as it neared
Broad street station.
The woman was brought to Norris-
town by Capt. Rodenbaugh, and for
nearly four hours was at the mercy
of the police, the District Attorney and
James B. Holland, who subjected her
to a. most rigid examination, without,
however, eliciting any replies that clear
up the mystery. She has been com-
' mitted for further examination on Nov.
12. J. P. Hale Jenkins, her lawyer, has
visited her in prison and advised her
to make no statement.
Immediately after the murder of Mrs.
* Kaiser the county offered a reward of
I $200 for the arrest of Miss De Kalb and
., a like amount for the apprehension of
~
mandaderen. .
' i ’ V 4. .
James A. ClL:.'.n?r,.7n whose company
she was seen in Norristown on the day
of the tragedy. District Attorney
Strassburger says she was located
through the assistance of one of her
acquaintances who was tempted by the
$200 reward.
Kaiser and his wife drove out of Nor-
ristown on the evening of Oct. 28, 1896,
in a. falling—top carriage, followed a
few minutes later by a man and a
woman in a second carriage. Subse—
quently the two teams were seen in
close proximity in Upper Merion. With-
in fifteen minutes Mrs. Kaiser was a
corpse, her dead body lying on the seat
of the carriage in which she and her
husband were chatting as they drove
over the Upper Merion roads. ..
Kaiser returned to Norristown with
his wife’s limp body in the bullet- cut,
blood-stained carriage, with a. wound
in his arm. He said they had been
stopped by highwaymen and shot, af-
ter being stripped of their money and
jewels.
Fifty yards from where Mrs. Kaiser
was shot were found Kaiser’s watch
- and a bloody pistol, both secreted along
the fence that skirts the road. Several
days later Mrs. Kaiser’s, watch was
picked up in the street in Pottsville,
Pa.
Kaiser was tried in March last, and
convicted after the jury had been out
less than four hours.
Kaiser’s father lives in Philadelphia,
where the young man was at one time:
intimate with Lizzie K. De Kalb and
James A. Clemmer. The latter aided in
procuring insurance on Mrs. Kaiser’s
life at the time of her death.
It was alleged by the Commonwealth
during Kaiser's trial that Miss De Kalb
conspired with Kaiser to murder his
wife for the sake of about $10,000 in-
surance money. Her capture is likely
to result not only in her Osvn trial as a
participant in the crime, but will also
be important, lawyers say, if the Su-
preme Court should grant Kaiser a
new trial. ‘
CHARGED WITH OTHER MURDERS.
Fritz Meyer :1 Most Remarkable and
Desperate Criminal.
New York; Nov. 5.—-Eight of the seats
in the jury be): for the trial of “Fritz
Meyer." the confessed murder-er of P0-
liceman Fraderick Smith in the Church
of the llo’sy Redeemer last ’Wednesday,
were filled yesterday after several days’
hard work.
Facts have come to light in the last
few hours which stamp Meyer as the
most remarkable and desperate crimi-
nal in the police history of the metrop-
0133.
Tim church murders and three
aliuszls are credited to him, but more
than that, other startling and myste-
rious crimes which have baffled the po-
lice of New York may yet be fastened
at his door. He was ready to liiil upon
the slightest provocation.
His wife says that his brutality
caused the death, of six of their chir-
dren. He made a murderous attack
once upon his sister-in—law and nearly
succeeded in killing her because she rc-
fused to give him money.
Yesterday afternoon the police at-
tributed another murder to M3ycr.
They think he was responsible for the
killing of Widow Carson, keeper of a
junk shop in Brooklyn, ,eight months
ago.
They announced that they expected
to arrest his accomplice within a few
hours.
Meyer, they said, was one‘ of a gang
of three men who have committed a
number of daring crimes in Brooklyn.
The man they expected to arrest at
any moment was also a member of the
gang. They had reason to believe this
second man was stationed outside the
church the night Steiner shot and killed
Policeman Smith. They also think he
was implicated in the attempt to rob
Brewer Ochs.
Meyer's real name is Constantine
Steiger. He is an ex-convict, who, un-
der the name of John Schmidt was re-
leased from Auburn Prison last July.
The Search for Andree.
Christiania, Norway, Nov. 5.-—-The
steamer which has left Tromsoe Island
under King Oscar’s orders in search of
Prof. Andree. the missing aeronaut,
and his party, is the Victoria. She
carries a. crew of fifteen and has on
board Paul Bjoervig, the explorer.
The Victoria is provisioned for eight
months, and will search Daumandsoer-
en, Advent Bay, Cape Thordsen, Prinz
Karl Foreland. and possibly Dane’s Is-
land, from which point Andree’s bal-
loon ascended in July last in his at—
tempt to cross the Arctic regions.
On her return trip the Victoria will
explore the southwest coast of Dan»

In my younger days. I worked very
hard and for years I have been troubled
with kidney and bladder complaint.
My back ached so severely at times I'
could not move and I was compelled to
get- up often at n1ght to urinate and
lost a great deal of sleep. I tried med-
icines and plasters but they would not
cure me. I saw Doan’s Kidney Pills
advertised and I got a box at Glendon-
ing’s. They were just the thing for
my trouble. I have every reason to
think that they are just what the man-
ufacturers claim for them. They have
made me sound and well.”

FARM E‘R‘ ROBBED OF $500.
Burglnrs Enter "is House and Steal
Money 110 Had Received.
Binghamton, Nov. 4.—Burglars e‘n-
tered the farmhouse of FranksLane-
hart, near Maine village. early yester-
day morning and stole $500 in cash. Mr.
Lanehart sold his farm Monday and
received $500 ori the purchase price. As
the bank here closed he took the money
home and secreted it under his pillow.
At about 2 o’clock yesterday morning
he was awakened and saw two men in
the room. He jumped up and grappled
with one of them. The other struck.
him with a club and knocked him
down. Then the burglars escaped in
the darkness. The bag which con-
tained the money was found in the
yard witha five—dollar gold piece in it.
Mr. Lanehart thinks that the burglars
followed him to his home from this
city, knowing that he had money.
She Aided a Murderer.
Philadelphia, Nov. 4,—Lizzie Dekalba,
who is wanted for complicity in the
murder 'of Mrs. Kaiser, in Norristown,
Pa., last Winter, was arrested at Bris-
tol yesterday.
The sensational story of highway
robbery that Kaiser gave of the affair
was proved false at his trial, and Kai-
ser is now waiting to be hanged.
Lizzie Dekalba and a. man named
Clemmer, who is still at large, were
Kaiser's accomplices, the crime having
been committed for Insurance.

SAYS IT is ILLEGAL INSURANCE.
\ho Pennsylvania Authorities ‘Declaro
Against the Underwriters.
Harrisburg, Pa... Nov. 4.—Insurance
Commissioner Lamber recently sent
the Attorney General’s department a.
letter inclosing a specimen policy of
insurance issued by the Philadelphia
Underwriters and saying that the
Underwriters is an unincorporated a5-
sociation of 'two companies of Phila-
delphia. The question raised was
whether the issuing of policies by this
association under the unincorporated
name does not violate section 1 of the
act of Feb. 4, 1870. Deputy Attorney-
General Reeder yesterday gave the
Insurance Commissioner an opinion in
which he holds that the Philadelphia.
Underwriters' company is doing an i1-
legal business, and in clear violation
of the law.
The Deputy Attorney-General says
that this relation of partner cannot
be altered or changed by the clause of
the contract in each policy in which
each company agrees to be bound by
any judicial decision affecting the
other on joint contracts. He says that
the policy on its face seems to demand
of the insured dealing with both com-
panies in all the preliminaries after
he has once sustained a loss. He goes
on to say that the companies have no
power or authority to enter into such
Ia. joint partnership and that agree-
ments between companies which create
, a. partnership between the parties
I thereto are void.

been abandoned or modified in the last
two days, and these towns that have
not done so have given notice that they
will do so by Nov. 10. By that time a
general resumption of business will be
chronicled, even should some sporadic

WAS NOT ASHAME’D.
He Intormed the Congregation that He
Did the “Licking.”
' A San Francisco manufacturer hasad—
vised his little son, not once but fifty
times, to avoid contentions with oth-
er children, but if a quarrel is forced
upon him to defend himself at all haz-
ards. ‘
The boy is a member of the Ply-
mouth Congregational Sunday school,
and it is the custom of the pastor of
the church to give every child in the
Sabbath school a nice little Bible on
the Sunday following his seventh
birthday. Last Sunday it was Master
Kerr’s turn to receive a. Bible, and
when his name was called he marched
forward with a black eye he had re-
ceived in a fight with another urchin
the day before. The pastor eyed the
boy’s face narrowly and the whole con-
gregation tittered. The little fellow
flushed with embarrassment, but ac-
cepted the Bible as gracefully as pos-
sible, listened to the few words of
commendation and advice and started
for his seat. The ti'ttering was re-
newed, and when half way down the
aisle the boy’s pent—up feelings could
be restrained no longer. He resented
the imputation conveyed, first by the
past‘r’s searching gaze and then by
the congregation’s amusement, and,
stopping in the aisle, he turned around
and shouted:
“Well, I licked him, anyway!”——San
Francisco Post.
STAGE'COACHES BY TROLLEY.
This Conveyance is a Free Lance with No
Dependence on Tracks.
Stage coaches run by electric trol-
ley power rep-resent the latest idea of
inventive genius in regard to the ap-
plication of electricity to purposes of
transportation. At Greenwich, Conn,
is now to be seen in operation a motor
carriage running upon a highway pro—
pelled by force taken from wires
which are supported by poles along
the side of the road. By an ingenious
device the trolley, or rather a flexible
I metallic cable attached to the carriage
is conducted along the circuit wire in
such a way that two trolley veh’clzs
may pass each other and each may
turn round or pass from one side of
the street to the other at the ple.-.=.u e
of the driver.
‘of a railway track and the tyran of
the despatcher and the switch-:e rim.
the electric stage coach may stop did
start when it likes, calling for pas-
sengers at their doors on either side of
the road, and rolling merrily along
the highway regardless
snow or ice, its only limi-
tations being the. poles and
wires which give it motion. Over the
quarter of a Smile stretch already
equipped it is declared that the heavy
carriage can easily run in 45 seconds,
which would mean the sufficiently
rapid pace for a. stage coach of thirty
miles an hour. The trials are said to
have been so successful that a. permaé
nent line of considerable length will
soon be operated—Boston Herald.
