A New Witness to the Killing
Creates Undue Excitement
by Her Direct Testimony.
Sioux City, la , Nov. 21. The testi
mony of Leavittand Bismarck, the state's
witnesses in the great Haddock murder
case, was corroborated to day by a new
witness to the tragedy. The witness
proyed to be Mrs. li. Josephson, a native
of Iiussiu and u Jewess of Uussian and
German parentage, about 40 years of age.
She came to America with her husband a
few years ago, being driven here by the
Russian persecutions of the Hebrews.
They went first to Yankton, thence to
this city, and was for a time a trinket j
peddler, then a retailer of cow's milk,
and lately assisted her husband in quite
an extensive dairy business. She alleged
substantially that ou the nirht of the
murder she and her husband were deliv
ering nnlk to customers and took differ
ent routes, arranging to meet at the Lone
Star restaurant just across the street from
the scenj of the murder; that she arrived
there about 10 o'clock and seeing a crowd
of men arross the street, through furiosi
ty she was constrained to watih them
and so drove hastily into the alley cast
of the restaurant and secreted herself and
watched Bismarck's movements; that she
went to the side of a small blacksmith
shop, just opposite from the scene of the
shooting where she was ioined bv her
husband who watched with her. Re
garding the shooting she said: "I saw
Mr. Haddock start out from the Colum
bia house coiner and two men whom I
t he most of the cases, as the people were
engulfed with the ship. The steamer's
decks. burst when she was sinking. The
sunken vessel lies in twenty fathoms of
water. The survivors will sail for New
York Wednesday.
It is ascertained to-day that the officers
of the steamer Wave saw the blue lights
of distress by the Scholten but decided
they had not time to go to lier aid. This
action causes much indignation here. It
is even asserted that the Wave was com
pcllcd to go out of her course to avoid
the Scholten while she was firing her sig
nals. The bravery and coolness of Capt.
Taat of tiie Scholten, is highly spoken of
by those who were rescued, but it is said
that the crew were not well disciplined
and that thc-ollicers were unable to con
trol them. The passengers were com
pelled to lower the boats themselves and
their incxpe: ience probably accounts for
fact that all of the boats were not made
use of. The boats are said to have been
m bad condition and showed a lack of
previous carj and their fastenings were
not in such s'mpe that the boats could be
readily launched.

id In Quarantine-
HIA,
Pa., Nov. 22. The
recognized as Arensdorf and Peters
started from the opposite side and walked
rapidly towards him. As they met, Had
dock raised his hands ns if to strike, and
Arensdorf, stopping close to Lim, fired,
and then ran toward the bride, followed
by Peters. The preacher staggered and
made a sound a sound like this (which
witness endeavored to produce), then
reeled and fell. As the crowd scattered,
some up Water-st. and some down, and
part toward me, I sprang back in the
shadow of the shop to hide. I think one
of the men saw1 me. for he stopped and
ran in another direction. We then made
our way back to the wagon and drove
home." The other witnesses examined
to-day were: Koshnitski, alias Bismarck,
ex-(Jouneilman Grady and ex-Water
Works Superintendent Robinson. The
testimony of the latter was prejudicial to
Arensdorf's proof of an alibi.
two unfortunate lepers, Mrs. P. Miranda
and her D-jcir-old daughter, Anita, are
quarantined at the municipal hospital.
It is alleged that Mrs. Miranda was ad
vised to keep the secret of her disease
by Dr. Van Harlinger, and it is wiid sev
eral prominent physicians were consulted
and the treatment of the two Icpeis was
gun. During all of this time they
were stopping with Mrs. Mirandas
widowed sister, Mrs. Nierson, at Twenty-
fourth and Wright-fcts. Mis. Nierson,
occupied the same sleeping apartments
as the unfoitenate lepers. When she
learned that her si.-ter wms being treated
by a l.hv.sician she inquired what her
ailment was, but Mrs. Mbnnda rrplitd
only a skin disca.-e. " Mrs. Nierson
learned that Dr. Van Ilatlii! er was her
sister's physician and the visited him but
he refused to tell her what ailed his pa
tient, and with her secitt buried an her
breast Mrs. Miranda continued to live at
Mrs. Nicrson's home while her daughter
who is also covered with marks of lepro
sy attended school ar.d plnyd with the
school children.

The
Mistery of the Origin
Flames Unsolved.
Nkw Havkn, Conn., Nov. 21. One of
the watchmen of Bariium's circus, while
making his rounels at 10 o'clock last night
discovered flames in one corner of the
building where the horses are kept. He
rushed around the building to alarm the
other employes, when he was knocked
senseless by some one with a club. He
lay on the ground unconscious for twenty
minutes, and when he revived half of
the building was in fl itnes. He awaken
ed the sleepers in the building, and some
one rushed to the alarm box half a mile
away and pulleel it, neglecting to sound
the alarm at the entrance of the grounds.
This caused a delay of half an hour in
the arrival of the fire department. When
it diel come it could do nothing beyond
saving the adjacent buildings from being
destroyed. At 12 most of the elephants
which had been let loose had been cor-
rolhcd. The rhinoceros w s taken out
of the building but was burned and cut
both by getting out of his cigc apd by
the crowd who seemed possessed of a
mania to kill all animals which came out
of the building. Only the cat animals
were burned, the monkeys and others
being in ether buildings. Many of the
idols which wore exhibited with the show
were bcrn?d. The cries of the
burning animals were heartrending.
At 12 o'clock the building was a heap
of ruin:.
The origin of the fire is still a mystery,
but the general opinion of those connect-
eel is that it was the wcrk of an
ucendiarv.

I know a small boy of teneler. veais ho is
going to give himself an awful lot of trouble
when ho grows up. He has developed a
strong taste for mementos and he keeps
tlieiu all carefully. Wo all keep mementos
when wc are young. I have a little weakiiesi
for it myself, but mementos dont seem to
mean as much as they used to somehow. I
carried a pieseo of everlasting flower which a
descendant of Anne Hathaway plucked for
mo from the cottage from which fShako
spearo married Anne 300 years agq until I
began to. write plays, and my experience led
mo to throw it away. It was a painful re
minder of inequality. I supjiooo you have
still an old letter and a faded flower your
r sent you before you found out she was
flirting with the other fellow. Keep it. It
will reminel you when you are incline to
believe your next girl. But this small boy
keeps a book in which, ha leeords in full de
tail what those mementos are, e. g. :
1. A stone taken from the lot where Mr,
June's new house was built.
2. "A piece of ralwood picked up in the
back yard of Mrs, Flaherty's cottage."
Tho book is full of this kind of thing. He
was showing his treasures to hia uncle and,
having explained, everything as it came up)
ho reached a thia strip of redwood.
" What's this f' asked his uncle, handling it
very irreverently. The boy seized it.
