These words had the effect of releasing James Vincent Taylor from jail, and restoring him, pale and ill from rheumatism contracted in prison.

to the arms of 1 his sweetheart, Miss Belle Kent, daughter of Henry Kent, of No. 3110 South Ninth street. They were a portion of a heated conversation between James R. Gray, United States Circuit Clerk, who is also acting United States Commissioner, and Louis C. Bohle, United States Marshal.

Marshal Bohle had refused to take the prisoner from the Four Courts jail to the Commissioner's office when requested to do so by Judge Gray. "How do I know that the bond on which you intend to release the prisoner is good?" Marshal Bohle had asked. "That is none of your answered Gray. "If I see fit to release the prisoner on bond I alone am responsible for the validity of the bond, not the Marshal." Marshal Bohle had contended the Commissioner had no right to release a prisoner on bond after he had been indicted. Bohle claimed that Judge Adams had SO ruled.

This angered United States Commissioner Gray, who declared that he knew his bustness, and to prove it took the Marshal to the office of District Attorney E. A. Rozier. Mr. Rozier looked up the law and sustained Commissioner Gray.

Still, Bohle refused to comply with the order until Judge Gray threatened the oppression in office proceedings, and the. he hastily called one of his own carriages and drove to the jail, from which he took Taylor, the prisoner. Tayior was arrested last summer on a charge of impersonating a Federal officer. It is charged that he told the woman with whom he boarded that he was a United States detective. in order to gain time in which to pay his board bill.

The landlady made inquiries which resulted in Taylor's arrest. In the meantime Taylor had become acquainted with Miss Belle Kent. He confided in her that he expected an indictment against him by the Federal authorities, but assured her that he would be vindicated. After Taylor's arrest Miss Kent and her mother took considerable interest in his case. was able to give bond through their intercession.

she called to see United States District Attorney Rozier. That official was in Italy when she first called. and she was compelled to await his return from abroad. When Mr. Rozier returned to St.

Kent's statement was true. He had another conference with her and decided to permit her to sign Taylor'a bond for $1.000 for appearance in court, although she owns no real estate. Mr. Rozier stated the case to er Gray. who was willing to accept the bond.

the District Attorney being satisfied. But when Mr. Gray requested United States Marshal Bohle to bring the prisoner before him for the purpose of giving bond, Bohle declined. When Taylor was finally taken to the Federal building by the Marshal. he was too ill to go to the third floor.

and the Commissioner went down to the carriage, administered the oath to the prisoner and Mrs. Kent and allowed them to sign the bond while seated in the carriage. They then drove to the home of Mrs. Kent, where Taylor hopes to soon regain his former health. Taylor is an Englishman.

FRANK HAEFELE FATALLY HURT Elmore Drumm and Scott Mulconnery in a Critical ConditionThe Engine Rolled Over an Embankment. DEAD. FRANK HAEFELE, chief car inspector, In an accident due to a spreading rail on the Southern Railroad, at Fireworks Statien, four miles from East Louis, yesterday afternoon. one man lost his life, another was fatally injured and one was seriously injured. Railroad men who were on the train describe, the accident as one of the most peculiar ever encountered in their experience.

The train was a special, consisting of a large six-driver switch engine and a passenger coach. It had been taken out to the bluffs on the order of H. C. Barnard. superintendent of terminals for the Southern Railroad Company, at East St.

Louis, for the purpose of permitting Sergeant Thomas Walsh of the East St. Louis Police Department to aid the railroad company in locatIng cars from which the brasses had been taken by a gang arrested early yesterday morning. One of the gang. Angelo Milazzo, accompanied Sergeant Walsh and volunteered to point out the cars from which the brasses had been taken. This was done to assist the railroad company and Car Inspector Frank Haefele, and to guard against accidents and wrecks in moving the cars.

Charles Wright, the yardmaster. of the Southern Railroad at East St. Louis, was also in party. After the cars were marked by Inspector Haefele and his assistants. the train started to return to East St.

Louis. Haefele rode on the locomotive. His desire to ride on the engine cost him his life. The coach was pushed back by the locomotive. At Fireworks Station the men in the coach were almost thrown out of their seats by a shock which caused the car to quiver.

The jar was followed by a terrific explosion, which startled the farmers for a mile distant. The whole place was enveloped in a cloud of steam. a jet of which was lined against the rear of the passenger coach. When the coach came to a stop the railroad men jumped from the car and ran to the rear. Their car had become detached from the locomotive, which had left the track and rolled down the embankment.

Scalding water and steam kept the railroad men away from the locomotive for some time, and when they got close they saw that all three of the occupants of the cab had been caught in the wreckage by the overturning of the locomotive. They were being scalded. Farmers and their wives living in the vicinity ran to the scene and assisted in caring for the injured men who had been removed from the wreck. They supplied oils and bandages, and the men were wrapped in these. All were badly scalded.

In the meantime one of the switchmen had hurried to the house of Jacob Scherrer in Aita Sita, and telephoned to the Benner-Brichier Undertaking Company at East St. Louis for an ambulance. As soon as the ambulance arrived the injured men were taken to East St. Louts. Haefele and Drumm were taken to St.

Mary's Hospital and Mulconnery to his home on Eighth street. Half an hour after Haefele was admitted to the hospital, and before the arrival of his relatives, who had been summoned. he died. His body was removed to an undertaking establishment, where Coroner MeCracken held the inquest last evening. A verdict of accidental death was returned.

Haefele lived with his parents, brothers and sisters, at No. 402 South Fourth street, East St. Louis. He was a brother of County Recorder Charles Haefele. St.

Mary's Hospital physicians believe Drumm's burns and injuries are so serious that he cannot recover. Mulconnery's injuries consist chiefly of the burns sustained from the steam which escaped from the boiler of the engine. It is believed he will recover. MRS. CARRIE NATION.

Constans Predicts al Peaceful Settlement. SPECIAL BY CABLE. Constantinople, Aug. developments are expected in a very few days in the Franco-Turkish dispute. The Turkish Ministry has had the discussion of the French claims before it for several days, but the result has not been announced.

While the general opinion here is that Turkey will yield and meet France by paying the full amount of her claims, it is known that there is a war faction in the Sultan's Cabinet that is urging him to provoke France into some overt act of hostility. It is felt here that if the Sultan does not take some step promptly in the matter. France will probably be led to make a naval demonstration. This would be an act of hostility, and would at once upset the peace of Europe. Many of the Sultan's advisers would welcome such a condition.

CONSTANS PREDICTS PEACE. Paris, Aug. Constans, the French Ambassador to Turkey, arrived in Paris to-day from Constantinople and had a conference with the foreign Minister, M. Delcasse. In an interview afterwards.

M. Constans gaid he would not return to Canstantinople until the dispute was settled. M. Delcasse, at to-day's conference, confirmed the statement that he (M. Constans) had acted in perfect accord with the views of the Government.

The Ambassador did not think the Sultan would hold out very long. while as to the possibility cf war between France and Turkey, M. Constans said it was quite out of the question. Sultan Demands a Life. Paris.

Aug. Georges Dorys, son of the late Prince of Samos, a former MinIster of the Sultan of Turkey, and formerly Governor of Crete, has been condemned to death by the Sultan's courts at the direction of Abdul Hamid II. This action was taken in Constantinople because of the publication of M. Dorys's book, "The Private Life of the Sultan." The book so angered Turkey's ruler that he exerted his influence in diplomatic channels to have it suspended in all European countries. His efforts succeeded in Sweden, but the popular outery against such action in Paris was so strong that the Government declined to exert itself.

M. Dorys secretly left Constantinople some time ago, and is now resident in Paris, where he has Identified himself with the Young Turks party. ESCAPED BURIAL ALIVE. Baby Thought to Be Dead Shows Signs of Life. REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

In this capacity he will give us the benefit of his experience in exposition work. and also of his acquaintance in the foreign field.

"Mr. Buchanan's experience in exposttion work is of great value to us, and his acquaintance with exhibitors, as well as his relations with the Governments of North, Central and South America, are such as to make his advice of great benefit.
