Singapore (Special). The mall
steamer La Seyne, of the Messagcrles
Marltimes Service, runnlnj between
Java and Singapore, and on her way
to this port, was In collision early
this morning with the steamer Onda,
of the British-India Line, and sank
within two minutes. Seven Euro
pean passengers, Including Baron and
Baroness Benlezky, the captain of La
Seyne, five European officers, and
88 others, comprising native passen
gers and members of the crew, were
drowned. The rescue of 61 -persons,
practically from the Jaws of shoals
of sharks, formed a thrilling Inci
dent of the wreck.
The accident occurred about 4
o'clock in the. morning in a thick
haze. The vessels were steaming at
good speed and the 3eyne was cut
almost in half. There was no time
for panic nor for any attempt on
the part of the officers of the found
ering steamer to get out the boats.
The majority of thr.ve on board were
caught In their berths and carried
down with the ves-jel.
The force of the collision brought
the Onda to almost a dead stop and
her engines were at once slowed and
boats lowered. The rescue work
proved thrilling, for not only were
the rescuing parties impeded by the
dark, but Bhoals of sharks were al
ready attacking those clinging to
pieces of wroekaRe in the water.
Sixty-one persons from the ill-fated
Fteamer were finally dragged into
the boats and brought by the Onda ,
to this port. .Many of them had
been bitten by sharks and several
are severely injured.

Chicago (Special). Henry Brod
enhayer, a jeweler, of Madison, Wis.,
who was found dead near his home
In the summer of 1906 and believed
to have been murdered by robbers,
was killed by his wife, Margaret
Brodcnheyer, now a patient at the
Dunning Insane Asylum, according
to a confession made by Clara Drod
enheyer, their daughter, to Assistant
Chief of Police Scheuttler.
The girl, who is 18 years old, told
how her mother had slain her father,
how she had aided In disposing of
the body, how the crime had driven
her mother insane and how the ter
rible story had haunted her until
she had to tell it.
Miss Brodenheyer, after telling
the story of the tragedy, swooned.
She was removed by order of the
police to the home of friends. She
probably will not be prosecuted.
Brodenheyer, who was 42 years of
age, and formerly had lived in Chi
cago, aroused the Jealousy of his
wife after he had removed to Madi-
Bon and engaged in the Jewelry busi
ness. The wife, according to her
daughter, satisfied herself of her
husband's infidelity and decided to
kill him. She lured him to an
abandoned house on an old farm
near Madison under a pretext of
looking over the property.
After they had entered the build
ing the woman immediately drew a
revolver and shot her husband, the
bullet striking him behind the right
ear. As he fell the woman fired a
bullet into his forehead. Mrs. Brod
enheyer watched him die, then threw
the revolver away and fled.
The daughter, according to her
confession, encountered her mother
as she was hastening from the
slaughter house. Her mother told
her excitedly that her father had
committed -suicide. The daughter
says she induced her mother to re
turn to the body. She saw that her
father had been shot twice. She
said she accused her mother of kill
ing her father and that Mrs. Brod
enheyer confessed the crime and ask
ed her to aid her in concealing the
crime.

Counsel for Charles W. Marie
petitioned the Supreme Court of the
United States to review the Judg
ment of .the Circuit Court of Ap
Deals In New York, In Morse's case.
Cincinnati, Ohio (Sp.ilal). Mrs.
Jeannette Stewart, also known as
Mrs. Ford, ono of the women ac
cused by Charles L. Warnner, de
faulting local treasurer of the Big
Four Railroad, of having shared in
bis peculations by blackmailing him,
declared she would tell the whole In
side story of the $643 theft then the
case came to court. Mrs. Stewart
denied she had ever received money
from Warrlner.
The sudden breaking of her silence
was caused, according to her, by a
quarrel which she had with another
women, who has also been mentioned
by Warrlner. This quarrel resulted
in the attachment of Mrs. Stewart's
furniture. The officers who made
the attachment were quickly ! follow
ed by reporters, and in the stress of
excitement Mrs. Stewart's reserve
broke down.
"I never Tecelved a cent from
Charles Warrlner," she said, "and I
never gave any Information to the
railroad about his shortage. It was
another woman that did It all; a
woman I thought was my friend. I
know tho whole story, and I will
tell It In court, too."
One of tho women said to be In
volved In the case started to leave
Cincinnati, but was advised by de
tectives that if she left the city her
arreBt would follow. She then aban
doned the plan.
"This woman," said Mrs. Stewart.
"I took Into my flat and she occupied
it while I was out of town. I thought
she was my friend. She went to a
department store and guaranteed my
account there. Now we have quarrel
ed and she has gone up there and
withdrawn her guarantee, resulting
in this suit against me."
Mrs. Stewart explained her lavish
expenditure of money In the past by
Baying that as the daughter of Mar
tin Tlmmons, of Portsmouth, O., she
had inherited a large fortune, and
had not been dependent upon anyone.
T'.i rough the issuance of attach
ment papers Intended to recover cer
tain goods sold to ber by a depart
ment store in this city the presence
was revealed In a fashionable apart
ment house of the woman who has
been mentioned by Warrlner as one
of his alleged blackmailers. The
woman is well known In this city
and in Chicago.
From a hli:h official nnnrre It In
I learned that the first Intimation of
the Impending scandal in the office
of the local treasurer came through
a Chicago woman who, it Is alleged,
had been sharing In the ill-gotten
spoils, and whose Income had been
shut oft.
At first the statement of the wom
an was not credited, and Melville
E. InKalls. chairman of the board of
the Big Four, declared that it was
almost Impossible for him to be
lieve that there could be anything
wrong with Warrlner for several
days, notwithstanding a hasty ex
amination made by some of the high
er officials of the company had
brought to light the first facts of
the shortage.
At present the questions that Is
exercising the railroad officials is.
What became of the $643,000 which
Warrlner admits having stolen,?

Weekly Review of Trade and
Market Reports.
Bradstrcct's says:
Except for the fact that uiifeason
ably warm weather tends to
the fullest development of tZa
in heavy-weight and winter JS
the general trade and industrial
port this week Is one of wldes,,
and increasing activity. Jo'hb
ln fx Roods, millinery, BhZf
clothing, hardware and, in fact, mt
lines of distribution Is active hnT
day demand Is broadening and 'sprln,
trade reports are very good, inrromui
being general in nearly nil nT
The same Is true of Industrial ope
Hons, iron and steel being as acti
as ever, with outputs close to or
in excess of the maximum. Coal l.
in ln increasing demand, and Inm.
ber and other material is active
All this, It might be remarked,
curs with prices of commodity. t
a high level, and with reports of
stock of raw materials and of mana
Tactured goods in no apparent war
burdensome or holding forth promisi
of early becoming g0. In the cotton
goods trade, it la true, the very great
advance in raw material at a time
of nearly record movement to Mark
et Is a source of unsettlement. Many
mills North and South have anrrjjic
ed curtailment In time run, but th
Fall River mills have not as vet join
ed ln the movement, and the feeling
is widespread that the coarse gnods
trade will feel the brunt of the prom
ised curtailment.
