Albert Itachwlti!, foreman of nn Illinois
Central railway switching crew, was killed
Instantly yesterday afternoon by being
crushed beneath tho front wheels of n
switch engine, which Jumped tho track
on Klghtccnth street, between Broadway
and First avenue, and turned partly ovor
down tho grade. Itachwltz was riding on
tho footboard of the ongtuo nnd attempted
to Jump when It commenced to topplo down
the grade. It ts thought that his foot
caught In some manner, throwing htm un
der tho front wheels. A portion of tho
embankment had to bo dug away around
tho cnglno before the unfortuuato man's
body could be extricated from under tho
wheels. Death was evidently lnstantn
uooiis, ns, besides several ugly wounds In
tho head and other parts of tho body, Ills
neck was found to bo broken.
rtachwltz was In charge of a train of
onto brought from Omaha by switch cn
glno No, 1 of the Omaha Ilrldgo & Ter
minal Ilntlwny company, and had Just cut
out four cars which wcro to bo transferred
to other roads hero when tho accident
occurrol which cost him his life. After
cutting out all but the four cars on tho
switch track Just north of Broadway tho
train proceeded south on Eighteenth street
nnd had passed the switch, when tho en
gine left the rails nnd bumped along this
tics for about two cars' length before the
embankment gave way beneath tho weight
of tho locomotive, causing t to topple
over on Its right side. The grade nt this
point Is about four to flvo feet.

Engineer George McNeil and his fireman,
Etigcuo K. Carroll, Jumped as soon ns tho
cnglno left tho tracks, believing that It
would bo hound to go Into the ditch. They
escaped without Injury, rtachwltz and W.
J. Scott, a flwltchmnn, were standing on
tho footboard and both started to Jump
tho moment tho cnglno commenced to turn
over tho embankment. Scott managed to
Jump clear of tho locomotive and escnpen
with n few bruises and scratches. How
Ilachwttz, who was standing on the wesi
sldo of tho footboard, managed to get
caught under tho wheels on tho other side
of the engine Is not clear, but it is sup
posed that ho must have got twisted round
by his foot being caught. Tho heel of his
shoo was torn off and this sustnlns the
theory Hint hta foot caught somehow In
tho footboard. Itachwltz's watch, when
taken from his pocket, was shown to have
stopped at 3:37,
A crowd was soon nttractcd to tho scene
and willing hands nt onco commenced to
dig tho unfortunate's man body from be
neath tho wheels. Coroner Treynor -was
summoned, ns was Dr. T, B. Lacoy, tho
railway company's physician. Tho latter's
services, however, wcro not needed, as
Itachwltz's death was instantaneous. Cor
oner Tieynor ordered the body removed to
Cutler's undertaking rooms, where It Is
understood an Inquest will be held Monday
morning.
Itachwltz was n married man nnd lived
nt 230-1 South Thirteenth street. Ho leaves
n wlfo and four young children.

Nono of tho trainmen were ablo to ex
plain the reason for tho englno leaving the
rails. Tho train of four cars, which had
Just passed the switch, about twenty yards
south of Broadway, was not running at a
greater speed than flvo miles, they say,
as Just south of tho switch from there Is
a curve Tho spot whero Itachwltz was
killed Is exactly midway between Broad

nnd Gallia Dnnuiges.
(From n Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May IS. (Special.) The
first of tho famous tux ferret cases to gat
Into the hands of the supreme court
reached that body today In the submission
of tho case of Henry Galusha, treasurer,
ngnlns' Mathlldo Wcndt, administratrix,
appellant, from Jasper county. After the
death of tho husband of the plaintiff, who
was n merchant and banker of Newton,
upon tho filing of u final report of the
administratrix It was disclosed that n
lrgfi amount of moneys and credits had
been concealed from tho assessors, and a
firm of tax Investigators, with whom n
contract had been made by the county,
had tho county treasurer assess this per
sonalty and the county brought suit to
recover from the estate J3.000, claimed as
tax on property belonglug to the estate.
Tho attorncs for the Palo Alto tax ferret
cases, which were appealed only a few
days ago, also Join lu tho nrguments, ns
this case from Jasper county Is regarded
as a test of the entire tax ferret law. The
law has been passed on by nt least half a
dozen Judges of tho state, nil but ono or
two upholding tho law.
The main attack on tho law In tho ense
submitted today to tho supreme court
lo on the ground that it Is retroactlvo In
effect; that It violates tho obligation of
contracts; that tho action of the board
of equalization from year to year Is nn
adjudication of all tax matters to that date
and that a law cannot be made which will
authurlzo n county to go back several
years and make assessments nnd collect
taxes. The attorneys upholding the law set
up that the act was remedial in its na
ture and that persons who havo fraudu
lently concealed tht-lr property from the
nsscesors cannot have that fraud con
firmed by anything the assessors and boards
ma) do.
liiMiirmiee Problem V iirnveleil.
In n decision by the supromo court an
nounced today nn insurance problem was
solvoJ. A Mr. Little died in Independ
ent In 1800, having held a cortlflcato of
Insurance In the Modern Woodmen, nnd
on the day of his death ho hnd his wlfo
wrlto to the clerk of the camp nsklng that
ttio certificate bo changed so that sho would
be the solo beneficiary nnd not be entitled
to shnre equally with his sister, ns In tho
certificate provided. Thn letter wns In
dorsed by him, but beforo it reached the
camp clerk tho Insured person died. Tho
chango was not mado ns requested. The
Woodmen placed tho money In tho hands
of the court nnd Its disposition wns to bo
determined. The district court gavo It
all to tho widow, on tho ground that the
chango In the policy had In fact been made
ns far ns U was possible for tho insured
to make It. The supremo court decides
that n certlftcato of lnsurnnco is not for
tho Insured alone, but for all parties con
cerned, nnd ns tho rules of making n
change had not been followed the sister
Is entitled to a share of tho policy.
Mayor na n Councilman.
In a decision In a Clay county case tho
question of the effect of having a mayor
of a city of the second-class act ns an

Involved was ono in regard to a Bower

the council by flvo votes. Tho law pro
vides for n three-fourths voto to suspend
tho rules. There wcro six members of the
council and the mnyor is cx-ofllclo a mem
ber. Tho supreme court holds that ho
must bo counted In considering what is a
quorum of tho council, or three-fourths,
nnd declares tho ordinance not to havo
been legally passed, becauso the mayor
wns not considered.
