V YOLTOIE XXX P.lrs, Martha Place Goes to Death in the Chair, WITH SCARCELY A QUIVER Her Life Is Burned Out by the Fatal Fluid. WOMEN IN ATTENDANCE Her Iiast Hours and the Walk to Exe cutionVain Efforts for Clem encyHer Crime. Nw Tork, March 0. Mrs. Martha Place was executed at Sing Sing prison today. She was the woman to die in the c ectric chair in the state of New Tork C!d she went to her death quietly. Her c ath was instantaneous. But two shocks v. trre given. State Electrician Davis threw down the lever at exactly 11:01 a. m. Tne oltage of the current was 1,760 and it was continued for four seconds. It was then gradually diminished to 200 voltage which -as continued for 5C seconds. Dr. Irvine, t .e physician of the prison, examined the woman and then ordered a second shock. Taat was the same as the first in power end continued for the same length of time. The second shock has always been c Jmlnhnered at Sing Sing. Mrs. Place murdered her stepdaugnter, 1 .a M. Place, a mere girl, on February 17, r 'J. She first threw acid in the girl's i es and then smothered her. This was irly in the morning, in their home in Brooklyn. Sho waited the entire day for j cr husband to return and then attacked i m with an axe, fracturing his skull and herwise seriously injuring him. Place, J iwever, recovered. Mrs. Place was con- oted and sentenced to death, but she i n-er for a moment believed she would 1 electrocuted. She at first claimed she ciuld remember nothing of the murder rid after the plea of insanity was sub letted in her behalf. It was not until Tiursday last that "Warden Sage an i junced to her that Governor Iloosevelt 1 ad absolutely refused to interfere with e course of justice and that she must t e on Monday. It was a great shock to t ie woman, but during the last four days t ie bore up wonderfully well. She suf C red in two ways after she learned that ie muat die from sleeplessness and from 1 ss of appetite. Again yesterday the war d n visited her so that there might bo 3 j misunderstanding, and told her that fhe must be ready at 11 o'clock Monday Zuorning. She .was ready at that hour, -nd no one who watched her could under- f ind what change must have taken place the woman's nature to so dull her senses t iat she could go to her death so calmly u .d impassively. It had not been expect- cJ she do so. The last woman condemned t) die in this state went to the gallows shrieking and lighting, but Mrs. Place 1 .xrdly uttered a sound. She merely mur- tijred a prayer, with ckved eyes, her face irned partly upward and seemingly un- nscious of things about her. rms was the twenty-sixth electrocution t Sing Sing prison, but none before was i cessful as that of today. .Not only t is there no scene but there was no deiay. v ithing three minutes after coming rough the iron doors the order of the had been carried out. There were ,ilve witnesses present and only those .ci watched every movement witnessed ?s. Place's death. Few were able to see t raising of the body as the electrical e ck passed through It. It was only it. n the current was partly shut off vthat j could see the body relax. It was c rasy ay to die. n Sunday airs. Place had her regular ndatits and during the night she was ed by hor spiritual adviser. Rev. Dr. I id Cole of Yonkers, and Mrs. Meury, mission worker of Brooklyn, who has t un a great interest in the woman's u tire. Mrs. Sage, the warden's wife. r spent an hour or so with her, but at Mrs. Place was left alone with the i 'u matron, Mrs. Coultry, with two k ,ers in the outer room. The condemned v. niian was very restless. Outside a ter- r gale was blowing across the, Hudson, w'i.n rattled the windows in the gloomy c d hospital building where Mrs. Place's c. j mens were located. There was a driv- i 0- snow, too, and several times the man went to her window to watch the t m. She did not retire until 2:30 o'clock, after that she was up several times to i Ne er for a moment did the matron i her Vigilance. Mrs. Place was fol- oJ with watchful eyes for the twenty- hours preceding her taking off. cannot be denied that Warden Sage anxious in the extreme regarding the t utkm, and it was with this in mind he ordered every precaution taken --ure the best results. He sent Rev. v'ole to feer at 9:15 this morning, rlrst ..'ins whether the aged clergyman c 1 stand the strain. Dr. Cole assured that he could and was so full of sym- 1 for the woman he had known since was a child that he was anx.ous to 1 With her and comfort her to the end. I r Irvine aU visited her in the morn g and with him was a physician who 1 t i been sent to attend the execution at suggestion of Governor Roosevelt. I Sage aas the last of her friends to j good bye. I-j ring the last few remaining minutes hr life. Mrs. Place was again and i:n urged to go bravely to her death, she promised that she would. She i ner pastor that she believed that her had been forgiven and asserted her ii in the hereafter. She was buoyed vith thins feeling when the warden 'i- to lead her to the chair. She wa s i in black, a gown that she had x me herself, simple and plain. She had c xvted to wear it at her new trial or v n she received her liberty. A white hx'd was around her throat and her light irown hair, now turning gray, was brush ed back waoothly over her forehead. It v. is clipped away only where the etec fode was to be placed. Mrs. Place said c mply that she 'was ready, and the wr- -i took her arm ia bis. They went slow Jy through the deserted old hospital build ing, along several hallways, and finally through the last corridor of all, "Murder er's Row." On either side the murderers' cells were draped with heavy curtains and the procession moved more quickly through this dismal place. Meanwhile the -witnesses had been call ed Into the death chamber. The electrical apparatus had ben given its final test and all were waiting with suspense for the coming of the -woman. Suddenly the side door through when the party -would enter was thrown open, a keeper stepped, in and called for another keeper and turned rap idly away. The keeper returned and was followed almost at once by Mrs. Place, leaning heavily on the warden's arm. Her face was very white, her head uplifted, her eyes closed. The -white band around her throat seemed scarcely whiter than her face. The warden held her arm closely with liis, and with his other arm he supported her. Behind came the wom an attendans, one a physician and the other the day matron. Rev. Dr. Cole came next, and after him were the other two keepers. As they came over the threshold Mrs. Place gave no sign of fear, nor did she even seem to know what was about to happen. She passed almost like a blind woman across the short space that separated her1 from, death. She was gently pressed down Into the frame and Dr. Irvine, who was in waiting, stepped in front of her. He motioned to the wo men and they came up on either side. It took but a moment to strap her in. The edge of her skirts was lifted quickly, the stocking drawn down over the shoe, and the electrode fastened by xne of the wom en to the right leg. Then the skirt was dropped. The head ca was clamped on, the straps buckled across the face and a pad dropped over the forehead. The two with Dr. Irvine and a male attendant on either side, almost shutting out the view of the witnesses, and the signal was given. Quicker, almost, than a flash, the elec trician threw down the lever. The body straightened, the fingers gripped tightly into the palms and the little prayer-book she held in her left hand was drawn across the waist. Kb one had expected that the shock -would be given so quickly, and the body was relapsing almost before the witnesses were conscious that the ex ecution had occurred. Only the woman's mouth was visible, and it changed merely in the drawing down of the lips and a lit tle darkening of the skin. Mrs. Place had murmured as she was seated in the chair: "God help me; God have mercy." Ther was no sound nftpr- that, not even a moan. The visible effect of the shock -was less than had ever been observed in the death house before. There was not the slightest distortion of the fea tures; the eyes were covered and when the straps were removed they were still cioseu. un tne second shock the body straightened out again and a little foam oozed from the lips. When the current was shut off the body reposed naturally in the chair. Dr. Irvine called upon the -woman phy sician to make an examination, which slk did' by merely opening the -waist and plac ing her stethescope between the folds of the dress over the heart. She performed her work quickly, and then the other physicians present -were asked to com plete the examination. Dr. Irvine gave it as his opinion that death had been in stantaneous. Tho foody was allowed to remain In tho chair until all the witnesses had retired, -when It was taken to the autopsy room and a post-mortem examination held. No ono was present but the operating sur geons, and their report will be filed with the other documents relating to the wo man's death. The autopsy was a rapid one, and although no information -was made public, the indications are that tho organs were found in a healthy condition. Tho insanity plea entered in behalf of Mrs. Place had never impressed favorably those who knew tho woman best. Her spiritual adviser. Rev. Cole, was one of those who never for a moment thought Mrs. Place was anything but a sane wom an, and this was the opinion also of Dr. Irvine and finally of the commission ap pointed to Inquire into the condition of Mrn. Place Drs. Dana and Polk. Tho body -was taken to the Sing Sing station, where it was shipped to East Milton. Dr. Cole was asked to officiate at the funeral, but -he felt that he could not stand the strain. He promised to be pres ent, although ho oould not conduct the public service. Mrs. Martha Place killed her stepdaugh ter, Ida Place, at their home, 59S Hancock streot, Brooklyn, on February 7, 1S9S. The girl was but 22 years old. A double mur der had been planned by the w oman. Sho killed her stepdaughter whenhe girl was taking an afternoon nap, splitting her skull open -with an axe, and pouring vitriol on her face and into her mouth. The same evening the woman lay in wait for her husband, "William "V. Place, in the darkened hallway of the house, and when he entered she struck hhn In the face with tho axe, and inflicted a serious wound. He managed to get outside the front door and alarm the neighbors before he became unconscious. "When the police and neigh bors entered the house they found Mrs. Place in a bedroom in which gas was es caping, and she was shamming uncon sciousness. Mr. Place recovered conscious ness, and said his wife had tried to mur der him, and the woman was arrested, after they "both had been taken to a hos pital. The motive for the womans' crime was jealousy of her stepdaughter. Place's first wife died six or seven years ago, and about eighteen months ago heetaoinhnn gaged the woman who became his second wife, to act as his housekeeper. Her about eighteen months afterward he en maiden name was Garretson, but she had been married to a man named Savacoll, now dead. As long as she was housekeep er it is said sho was extremely kind to Places daughter Ida. but she became quite a different person when Place mar ried her. She was possessed of an ungov ernable temper, which led to frequent quarrels with Ida. and Mrs. Place was very much embittered because her hus band took the young woman's part. An other cause of family bickering was Place's refusal to have his wife's adopted sou live with them. The woman was much inferior to her husband and stepdaughter in education and social qualities, and many friends of Mr. Place had cut his ac quaintance on account of his marriage to the woman. Miss Place was popular with the families in the neighborhood, and this also made the stepmother jealous. Mrs. Place's story of the crime was that me had thrown carbolic acid in her step daughter's face during one of their quar rels and then got the axe to ief"i her self from an attack by her daugie r. but it came out during her trial that she had made preparations for flight andfead writ ten to her brother .that she would gi to aim. Mrs. Place was tried before Judge Hurd (Continued oa Second Pase.j WICHITA, KA2TS4lS: TTZESDA1T MOBXCSG, 3IAUCH 21, 1S99 Death Meted-Out by Aguinaldo to Anyone WHO ADVISES SURRENDER Dare-Devilry of the Yankee Style of Attack. Manila, March 20 (S:40 a. m.). It Is re ported on hitherto reliable authority that Aguinaldo Is taking extreme measures to suppress signs calculated to cause a ces atlon of hotllities. Twelve adherents of the plan of independence, residents of Manila, have been condemned to death because they wrote advising surrender, and all loyal Filipjnos have been called upon to perform the national service of dispatching them. On Friday last Gen eral Lagarda visited Malolos for the pur pose of adviting Aguinaldo to quit. He argued with the Insurgent leader and at tempted to convince him of the folloy of his persistence in the face of overwhelm ing odds. Aguinaldo was furious at the advice and ordered .General Lagarda eo "be executed Immediately. The unfortun ate general was promptly decapitated. Among the incidents of yesterday's fight ing was he coolness exhibited by a com pany of the Washington volunteers who crossed the river in a native canoe under a heavy fire fifteen being taken across on each trip of the small boat to attack the enemy's trenches. The inability of the commissary train to keep up with the ad-ance has led to considerable suffering, and imany of the men were completely exhausted when they were recalled and, falling from the ranks, were strung along for a distance of almost six miles, numbers returning to camp in the artillery ambulances which weer always close up to the lines. The work of the ambulances was especially worthy 'of mention. Among the dead are several who were previously reported as wounded. Tester day's casualties were as follows: Twenty-second regiment Captain Frank P. Jones, Company E; Privates Young, Aronson and -Tut, of Company D; Rice, Pasmir, White, Ellis, Morgan, Schunder, Coumpholz and Porte, Company E; Ed wards, Company K; Ronfer, Company G, and Corporals Comeinorge and Nelson, Company M.

Tho mountain banditti of PPanay island recently threatened a seri ous attack upon Iloilo, but they were re pulsed with a loss of 200 men by General Miller. McNeil's battalion of he Califor nia regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel Duboce, has been ordered to embark on tho Indiana tomorrow. In order to rein force the garrisons of the towns of Bais and Baguyan, on the east coast of the Island of Negros, where Colonel Smith Is in command. This is only a measure of precaution, as Major General Otis says he does not anticipate trouble. Port Said, March 20. The United States supply shl Relief arrived here yesterday on her way to (Manila.

Hong Kong, March 20. A correspond ent of tne Associated Press at Manila says: "An army has seldom operated un der harder conditions than have been en countered by the American 'flying bri gade.' The country the American troops have traversed is intersected with la goons, narrow and unfordable rivers and bamboos so thick that the enemy cannot be seen a hundred feet distant. During the charges the Americans were isnorant as to whether they were attacking a hundred or honsands of rebels, which amaxes the foreign observers. The Fili pinos were unexpectedly "fierce at Cainta. Had it not been for the fact that the American line was thin, the enfilading fire would have slaughtered many of our men.

WIRE THAT BLEW UP THE MAINE Keport, Somewhat Discredited Later. That It Haslieen Found. Cincinnati, O., March 20. A local paper prints a story that the location of the keyboard by which the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor has been found by an American engineer officer. The story ia that Captain Huston, of the volunteer engineers, who entered the service from Cincinnati, and who had been assigned to the duty of cleaning the fortifications of Havana, had discovered in the gun room of the Cuartel de Foerste a wooden box, or hut, In which he found a gutta percha tube containing one large copper wire and several smaller wires. He also found evi dences of a keyboard having been torn away. Captain Huston had confided his discover- to Mr. Warren J. Lynch, newly appointed passenger agent of the Big Four, who was visiting in Havana, and said he was about to trace the wires to prove his theory that th eMaine was ex ploded from that point. The wreck of the vessel can be seen from fhls gun room, not more than a hundred yards distant. The room itself was in a part of the prison to which access was only allowed to a few officers. Havana, March 20. Captain T. L. Hus ton, of tho volunteer engineers, was ques tioned today by a correspondent of the Associated Press on the subject of the story printed by a local newspaper at Cin cinnati, Ohio, saying that the location of the keyboard by which the United States battleship Maine was blown up in Havana harbor on February 15, 1S93. had been found by him in a gun room of the Fuerza prison, whHe engaged in cleaning out the fortications. Th? captain said that the use of his name in this connection was not authorized. Ho showed the corres pondent a cable with several wires run ning into the harbor from Fuerza prison, opposite Cabanas fortress. One wire was cannected with a disused telegraph instru ment In a neighboring governmsnt build ing. Tho cable has not been investigated by the United States engineers. The sun- position Is that it runso Cabanas, across I tne harbor, and has been used for tele graphing. There is a remote chance that the wires in the cable were connected with mines or torpedoes, but there is no Indi cation that it had anything to do with the blowing up of the Maine. The end of the cable sticking out of Fuerza orison has been seen by tourists for weeks past. Many soTdiers have also seen the cable and may have expressed the belief that it was used to blow up the Maine. WILLIAM AND CEC(L 'lRHODES 1 K Are Gettinc Together. TVhileVEnsland Threatens OnM Pul i London, March 20. Erflperor William, it is said, will confer the order of the Crown of Prussia upon Mr. decll Rhoades, the South African magnate, with whom his majesty recently conferred in Berlin re garding the railway and telegraph pro ject of Mr. Rhoades in Africa. During the course of the dtecusslon of the vote on account, in the house of com mons today, the secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Cnamberlain, replied to various colonial questions raised. Speak ing of the West Indies. Mr. Chamberlain said 'no thought it was possible to give those islands representation -in the govern ment. It would be absurd, 3ie added, to universally enfranchise the nogro. lho experience with the Port of Spain (Trini dld )municipal council, the owlonial min ister pointed out, had not encouraged ex tension in that direction and the prevail ing sjtem, under the control of the colo nial ofiice, was the best wiich could be adopted under the present circumstances. Turning to the Transvaal, Mr. Cnamber lain said chat not one of President Kru ger"s promises to remedy grievances had been fulfilled. Touch.ng upon the speech delivered by President Kruger at Heidel berg, South African Repuolic, on Friday last, during which the president empha sized tne necessity for the state retain !"g lhe d'nam,te monopoly because the -African republic, being an inland state might be cut off from supplies of ex plosives in the event of trouble wrth any of the powers, and during which he also announced his intention to mod4fy the mining laws and to reduce the period en titling an applicant to full burghenroip from 11 to 9 years residence, said the' promises were all illusory. Mr. Chamber lain then claimed that the proposed change in the franchise was not of the slightest value: that dynamite was still a monopoly and that there had been no advance toward remedying other 'grievances. Con tinuing, Mr. Chamberlain asserted that if President Kruger would give the Johan nesburgners a real municipality, with con trol of their own educational system and civil police, as he could do without the slightest derogation to the interest and dignity of the Transvaal, he would remove nine out of ten UlUanders grievances. Great Britain, Mr. Chamberlain then pointed out, could only intervene In tSe event of a breach of ate London conven tion, or if the eomlty nations was not observed. As the paramount power in i South Africa, Great Britain could make friendly suggestions, but he (Mr. Cham berlain) did not believe a movement for a hegemony would be successful now, and therefore it would be undignified to make them. Mr. Cnamberlain concluded ;va saying: "As Jong as the present conditions continue they constitute a real danger. We are watching the situation mast care fully: but thus far there Has been noth- ing to justify an ulrmstum and, failing i compliance, war, which BSota to have i been suggested by a previous speaker."

Washington, March 20. Adjutant Gener al Corbin today made public the statement which General Wheeler has felt called up on to make, la order, as he says, to re fute certain allegations which reflect upon the cavalry division which he bad the honor to command. The statement Is ex ceedingly voluminous, making really an other history of the campaign before San tiago, and it is accompanied by an appen dix made up of letters from otlicers who were connected with General Wheeler in his operations, to support the allegations he make.3. General Wheeler begins with the dec laration that some statemeats were made before the war investigating committee re garding the battle of Las Guaslmas which do grea injustice to that part of the army which fought in that battle. Steven Bon- sal states that General Wheeler was guHty of disobedience of orders. General heel er says that to remain silent and not re fute the untruthful charges made by Bon sal would be disloyal to the soldiers and to the country. He notes that It Is with the approval of Major General Miles, the commanding general, that he makes the explanation now submitted. The history of the movements begins with a quotation of a statement made by" General Lawton before the war commis sion, tn thi effect that he had been di rected by the general commanding to pro ceed to and capture tSiboney. General Wheeler tells how the troops landed, how he had pointed out to Shatter the neces sity of pursuing and beating the Span lards before they could retreat behind their strong (breastworks at Santiago and how Shafter and many officers fully con curred in the necessity for a speedy move ment. He reports Shatter's orders to "pro ceed to Guaragua and throw forward pickets to Juraguaclto" (otherwise Slbo ney). He quotes various orders to show Shatter's anxiety to get Wheeler rapidly forward in order to reach Lawton, whom he found on the road Just before reaching Siboney. Wheeler tells of the reconnola sance he made personally and of a consul tation that night with General Young and Coolnel Wood. He says the Cubans pre dicted that the Spaniards would leave Bi boney and Santiago that night. When the advance began next day General Wheeler says the regular troops and artillery were ordered upon the main Siboney and Santi ago road, while tho Rough Riders and some of the other cavalry organizations were, "on the recommendation of General Castillo, sent by the less frequented and most difficult road." The Spaniards wore found in the same position the next morning about three miles from Siboney, and General Wheeler gives a description of the action that fol lowed. He says that the dynamite gun upon which reliance was placed failed to i reach him and it was for a time very doubtful whether the men in front of him were Spaniards or Cubans. In an hour the fight was won, but, the enemy's retreat being precipitate, his men being exhaust ed and all being on foot, pursuit was im possible. At this point General Wheeler Includes congratulatory reports from Shafter upon the engagement. Ho points out that Shafter was the only officer In Cuban waters senior to him; that he, Wheeler, was the eenior otilcer on shore and, of course, much was left to his discretion. He quotes Shafter's tes timony before the commission to the effect that they had different men from the Cu bans to fight. Wheeler admits that this shows beyond controversy that what he dkl was strictly in accordance with Gen eral Shaffer's orders; that the Las Gua simas fight was made in strict obedience to the spirit and proper interpretation of the orders received from General Shafter. In addition General Wheeler Insists that. leaving the evidence aside, the facts stated by Lawton in his report to Shafter on June 3 and that Lawton's sworn evidence before the war commiiwton, would iihow that he fought the Las Guasimak battle In strict compliance with the express wishes of General Shatter, hts commanding gen eral. Wheeler quotes Lawton's statement that he had been ordered by Shafter to proceed against Siboney, and declare that practically his orders were the same as Lawton's. Hs Insist that the Spaniard were in a position where it wa adtantage- on iOT the AmHcanB n attak them rather than to ahow them to flsht in their blockhou.es and other defences which they occupied at the time Lawton received his orders. Says General Wheeler: "The least delay and this opportunity would have been lost- I knew that he (Shafter) wanted the enemy to be imprrm ed with American bravery andi!term'na tion. I knew that the American people and the administration had sn us to C tor a special purpose and that a PTOtnpt attack on the Spaniards would as! ,n attaining hat purpoe.

He admits he was Ignorant of the conference held by Shafter and tils generals on the SKh, but Shafter explained this by saying he under stood Wheeler was sirk and his physician had advised against letting him know of the proposed battle tho next day. Not withstanding this, Wheeler says he learned that active preparations were be ing made for operations, and at daylight on the next day he rode to the front and exercised command. He tells of the Var ious orders he gave to Sumner and his re ports to Shafter of what he was dome, which supports his contention. He tells of the weakness of the une at San Juan and says many oliWra instated that the ridge could not be held and he learned the same statements had been made to Shafter. Says Wbeetr: "I did evervthmg in ray power to dis courage -this feeing and told those who came to mo that the enemy had fled from us at La Gnasunas and that we had driven them from their fortmcatlon on San Joan ridge; that they would expct us to tsk Santiago the npxt day; that there wb n possible danger of their maxta an attar y upon us that night, and that if they M we could hold the rtdee.

MANY ARTICLES OF VALUE Reward the Search-Work Done With Bare Hands New York. March 3fc A large force of hien worked on the nua af Uie Windsor hotel -tonight. Part of rear wall and chimney on the Forty-aerewth street side was still standing at a late hour. Smoke was issuing from the chimney, which ex tends to the basement, showing that Are ptill smoulders in that part of the ruins. The debris was thrown from the space t-ccupied toy the hotel to the sidewalk. Crowds pressed as close to the ruins as Ithe were allowed by the police. At mid Jight COO laborers wiho had been digging in the ruins were relieved by another gang of 309. Another body has been found ince 8 o'clock in the morning, when the work men came across the remains of two charred bodies. The men worked all day on three sides of the old hotel, Fifth avenue, Forty s xth and Forty-seventh streets. From the three sides on -which the workmen are engaged the ruins had, at midnight, been gone over for about twenty-live ieet from the building line. The first body taken i ut today was from the Forty-sixth side, the sCond from the Fifth avenue side, c'ose by what had been the main en trance. They were merely fragments of bodies. Neither have feet nor arms. These fragments were -taken to the morgues, where they -were ticketed as Oodles "1" and "2" and placed in the section especially set aside for the fire "Uctims. These two bring the total num ber of bodies so far recovered up to 12. Besides these there aro at least f&t per rons who were seen to jump from the roof and windows -while the hotel was burn ing, and of whose bodies no trace has yet bin come upon. From time to time today articles of xnore.or less value were foanl and turned oer to the police. They included jewelry, -watches, clocks, canes, articles of cloth ing, letters, keys, photographs, field and opera glasses, silverware and toile arti cles. A necojace was found on the Forty s.xth street side near where the baths were. It was set with diamonds and opals and estimated to be worth about 510,000. According to the lists of missing property prepared by the po'jce, It be longed to Mrs. James R. Stjkes, who i missing. One of Thomas P. Ochiltree's trunks was found, the contents quite un injured. Several of the persons hitherto report ed as missing were found safe today. The present list of missing numbers 41, This, however, -takes into account but few of the 200 servants of the house. Although" at night thj ruins are per fectly lit by electric and oil lamps, the men work under disadvantage Re com pared vrfth the day men and proceeds slowly. At midnight the contractors Thought that many ool cs would be come upon tomorrow, by whicn time a !-ut-iiclent space will have been ciearsd away to allow a larger numoer of me mo work to advantage. No picks or shovels are allowed the laborer. They remove the debris with their hands. Were the debris taken up by the shovelful jewelry and other prop erty might thus be thrown unseen into the carts to be cast away among the waste heaps. "Whatever is found in t'lls progress ibturned over to the police anl taken to a little shanty in Fifth avenue, where Roundsman Nugent has establish ed headquarters and a property tourau. Lest the workmen secret about their per sons jewelry and other valuable they come across in their labor, they are care fully searched after they stop work and are allowed to leave the ground. The hotel safe has been found uninjured. It has not been opened. iriss Helen Gould turned her house into a relief bureau last evening. Four long tables were spread in her kitchen, boilers of coffee were put on the range, ham t-andwiches were cut in the laundry and nil the men employed at work on the ruins were invited to stop for refresh ments. This act of kindness was thor oughly appreciated by the tired and hun gry workmen. Frank Gould was around personally to see that nobody that ap ji'ied went away hungry. The damage to tne Gould house is about $10,000. All sorts of theories are current as to the origin of the Are. One very pers's tent story is that thieves set fire to the hotel to aid them in purposes of robbery Mrs. Patterson, wife of Judge Patter eon of Colorado, is among the raanv per sons -who are being inquired for by friends and of horn no tidings have been received since the burning of the Wmd for hotel.

The case was carried to the court of appeals, but the conviction was affirmed and she was sentenced to death. Governor Kooae velt wax. then petitioned to exercise clem ency, it being alleged that ilrs. Place was insane at the time the crime was commit ted, and he appointed Drs. Dana and Polk of New York to report to hun on this point. They informed the governor that the woman was bane when she killed her stepdaughter and was sane now. This de stroyed her last hope of life, and on March. 15 Governor Koosevelt announced his te fusal to interfere, accompanjing it -nith the following memorandum: "No more painful case can come before a governor than an appeal to arrest the course of justice in order to save a wo man from capital punishment, when that woman's guilt has been clearly establish ed, and when there are no circumstances whatever to mitigate the crime. If theie were any rasonable doubt of the guilt; if there were any basos -whatsoever for in terference with the course of justice in rhis case. I should eo Interfere. But there is no ground for interference. The accus ed was condemned as guilty of murder in the first degree after full and fair trial, although, as all men know, a jury in such a case is always reluctant to give a. ver dict against a woman f any justification whatsoever exists for -withholding it. "This verdict -was then reviewed at great length by the court of appeals, and was af firmed without o dissenting voice, though this court always scrutinizes with the most jealous care such a case, desiring that the benefit of every doubt shall bo given to the accused. I wrote to the dis trict attorney and o the judge who tried the case to learn whether they thought ther was any ground for executive clem ency. They both answered that there was none whatever, and that the case was one of peculiar outrage, the letter of the judge running as follows: The record before you will show a crime of shocking atrocity, followed by an other, the attack on "William Place having murder for is object; that both crimes were premeditated and deliberate there can be no doubt; in my opinion the verdict was eminently Just; I think the applica tion entirely without merit, and I know of no ground for interfering with the sen tence.' "I went carefully over the evidence, which showed that the accused had first bhnde dher stepdaughter with acid and then strangled her, and, alter waiting in the house all day, when her husband re turned at dark had attacked him and en deavored to kill him with an ax. "Her attorneys and her pastor appealed to me for clemency. They raised no ques tion as to her guilt, but c'-aimed that she was insane at the time the deed was com mitted, and was now insane. The clergy man stated that she was undoubtedly sane at present, but that he believed her to be insane when the deed was committed, al though he did not then come personally m contact with her. "I accordingly appointed two doctors of the highest stand Inc. upon whose profes sional capacity, common sense and deep conscientiousness I could implicitly rely and directed them to examine the accused to decide whether she was or bad been insane. They reported to me that she was not Insane that she was sane at the time of the murder and before and since. "There is no question as to the woman's guilt, and no question of her sanity. All that remains is the question ;ie to whether I should be justified in interfertmc to save a murderess on the ground of her sex when no justification would exist to inter fere on behalf of a murderer. The only case of capital punishment which has oc curred dnce the beginning of my term was for wife murder, and 1 refused to consider the appeals then made to me on behalf of the man who had killed his wife after I became convinced that he had really done the deed, and was sane. In that ease a woman was killed by a aaa m thte case a woman was WBed by another woman. The law makes no distinction of sex m such a crime. "Thio murder was one of peculiar delib eration and atrocity. To Interfere with the coarse of the !aw in this ease com.,' be justified only on the ground that ne hereafter, under any clrcamstan should eap'tal punishment be inflicted on any murderess, even though the vfc I m nerselt a woman, and n iko-.. iv vUiu a tort are oreceaec aer ceath. "There Is but one course open to me. I decline to interfere with the course of the law." Several weeks before his official decision was given out, Governor Roosevelt was quoted as follows: "My sympathies in criminal cases are for the wronged and not for the wrong doer. The fact that the criminal Is a woman makes no difference to me. I am always ready to try to see that justice is done. In ordinary cases, if a woman is found precisely as blameworthy as a man, I would punish the woman exactly as much as the man. I have no sympathj with mawkish sentimentality." After the murder -was convicted Place showed no interest in his wife's fate. He testified at the trial, but has taken no part in the efforts to save her from the electric chair, and has refused at all times to talk of the case.

(Special) The clos ing scene in the judicial career of Judge J. C. Tarsney in Oklahoma was the ban quet at the Kerfoot in this city in honor of the judge and his estimable lady. 150 of the best people of the city attending to do them parting honor. The doors were thrown open for the reception of invited guests at 9 o'clock, and from that t:me un til 2 o'clock the next morning there was a steady flow of mirth and eloquence. The costumes were elegant. Letters of regret for non-attendance were read from Judges Beuford, Hainer and Burwell. and other distinguished jurists and statesmen. The first toast introduced by the Toast master, R. B. Forest, was "Tarsney and His "Work in the Second Judicial District," responded to as follows by Senator Frank E. GHlett, of El Reno: "If I were possessed with a tongue of eloquence nothing that I might say here tonight would add to or detract from the namo of Judge John C. Tarsney. Fame is not so fickle that it may be fanned to a flame or blown away by a. breath, when by force of merit it is once lodged in the American mind. Judge Tarsney did not come to this territory under what might be termed auspicious circumstances. He came rather 'the observed of all observ ers,' to succeed in office a judge who was rated one of the strongest men on the bench of tho territory. His work was therefore to be measured by a standard which required merit to equal, and was to be judged by an intelligent bar of hard working, able lawyers. He did not come to Oklahoma unknown. In another forum he had established a splendid reputation, which had spread far beyond the constit uency he represented and to gain which required ability and energy of a kind quite different from that necessary to se cure success on the judicial bench, and this fact caused the critics to stand ready to criticise and condemn as political any act that might be subject to such criticism. To his lasting credit it may be said that he speedily rose to a plane of substintial merit that placed him far beyond the reach of critics and criticism and Install ed him forever in the minds of lawyers and litigants as one of tho most able jur ists the territory has known. T his Is John C. Tarsney. Now, as to his work in the Second judicial district: It has been such as to merit from me all that I have said, and were able to isatisfactori'.y express myself here-, to all that I might add, for his work has been that of an able and conclentious jurist, and I believe I express the sentiment of the El Reno bar when I say, now that he Is about to depart from us, that he carries with him pur godspeed and the wish of each that the next St. comes to wake the sleepy recollection of Irishmen will show us his star in the right ascension.' The next toast, "The Loss to the Court," was very ably responded to b.y Hon. J. H. "Warren. Mr. TVarren reviewed Judge Tarsney"s career since the day he first came to the district, and In a few well chosen and well, timed remarks told what the loss would be to' the district on account of the judge's removal. The third toast, "My Retiring Partner." was happily responded to by Senator Charles H. Carswell. Charley Carswell Is prosecuting attorney of Canadian county, and a better one the county never had. It has been his boast that no guilty man ever escaped when he and his partner (Judge Tarsney) made up their minds he was a candidate to "go over the road." Charley told the story of the condition of affairs when Judge Tarsney took charge of the Second judicial district. "Lawlessness of every description," he said, "was rampant all over the district. A man's life or property was not safe from day to day. Robbers, thieves and mur derers plied their calling without hin drance. Things had got to such a pass that Judgo Tarsney's predecessor was obliged to call on the attorney general for a guard of deputy marshals whenever he convened court in the western part of the district. Such is not the case now. Judge Tarsney has never had a guard of honor to attend him while holding court. He has by his own grit and persuasiveness made the western part of the district as law-abiding as any district in the terri tory. The bad man and his gun have gone, never more to return, and the credit for this state of affairs is due to no man but John C. Tarsney, our retiring judge." Dan "W. Prry, chief editor of the El Reno Globe, responded to the toast of "Home Rule for Oklahoma, as Interpre ted by Washington." Dan did himself proud. He handled the subject in a proper manner and was frequently applauded. The toast "Our Honored Guest" was re sponded to by Major A. E. Woodson in the following eloquent style: "iln assembling here tonight, each and all of Ur5 are Imbued with a single desire to do honor to our distinguished guest. All people, all nations, love to pay nom as to their heroes and their distinguished men. Men of distinction, though nnmer- ou3 throughout the country at large, are but limited in number in our circumscribed neighborhood; therefore. It is but natural that we should all the more appreciate those we claim as our own. We learn to know men for their good or bad qual ities. Mare Antony said: The vil that men do lives after them; the good Is oft interred within their bone. W beg to take issue with this assertion, in that it i3 the good which tome men do that lives after them. The gentleman whom it Is our pleasure to entertain tonight has en deared himself to the hearts of our peo ple for tne good be has done, and the good he has done la this community and among the people of western Oklahoma win live long after he is gone from oor asidiat, and when he has severed his preoent relation with us. hf good, grand and noble qual ities of head and heart wil stiH be a pJs ant memory os- w honor hla today, we respect him a a diStinguiaod citi zen, now that he doSed ta judicial ermine: but it is "air a man. oo of nature's noblemen, that wj love Mm; and. tt he has fanlt5. we love him stUL Bus we love not only Jrfm. but another. w te a part of btaseJf. js. sUS aoWer work ai God hts wife, AW yes. b4s good wife.

It was not w heavy day in point of receipts, though It was better than either Saturday or 31 nday of last week. There were eight r received, six of them from the Okla .jjia country. Four of these came in j. e and were weighed up on the scales. 2s ne were very late, though the rail y report was that some more might r.-ve on a belated train. These will cros scales early this morning. AH the s offered were sold easily and the de nd good at the lower prices. The i.ity of most of the offerings was in- ned to be common.

There were also lie roughs and coarse heavies and these rdes did much to offset the few bet- r ones which were sprinkled in the ds.

This market is alone in this situation, however, as report from Kansas City for Satur- sa.ys this: "Receipts were light and i,htly less than last Saturday. A largo .ire of the light supply was light weight s t.ff. and heavy hogs were quite scarce."

However, this market I s all along held up well in comparison 'h others of the west and the best I ices are being paid for the hogs such as r are.

The legislature of 1897 appropri ated $61,000 for the care of the insane, un til the expiration of the contract with the Oklahoma Sanitarium company, witlch expired June 15, 1S9S. The same legislature passed an act author'zmg the governor of the territory to enter into a contract for the care of the insane for three years from the 15th of June, 1S9S. When we tiled our final account against the territory (under the contract entered into with Gov ernor Renfrow) on the 15th of June, 1S98, this was for the care of the insane for the nscal quarter commencing April 1. The account was for $11,611.67. "We only drew on this account in warrants $4,473.39, leav ing the deficiency out of this appropriation for which no warrant was ever Issued to U3, $7,138.25. and for which we asked tne legislature just adjourned to make an ap propriation to cover the deficiency. For the new contract the legislature made no appropriation, but the warrants were is sued to us on the written opinion of the attorney general that where the legislature authorized the governor to contract a deba and failed to make an appropriation to pay the debt, that the warrants ahould issue in the absence of any appropr-ation. We received warrants under the new con tract as follows: From June 15, 1398, to the 1st of July, 1S9S, we received warrants to the amount of $1,572.19; and for the fiscal quarter ending September. 330, 189S, we received warrants to the amount og $10. 223.65; and for the flscal quarter ending December 31, 1S98, we received warrants to the amount ef $10,889.01. You will ob serve a vast difference in ray letter and the reports S3 published by the committed. The auditor's books should show exactly what my letter shows. Yours truly, "JOHN TilREADG-ILL." The two paragraphs in the report to which Dr. ThreadgUl takes exceptions are as follows: "We find that there was appropriated for the care of the insane for the years 1S97 and 1396. under contract of the terri tory with the Oklahoma Sanitarium com pany, the sum of $0,009 and there have been issued warrants for that purpose in the sum of $110,740.81 in excess of the ap propriation hat that by reason of a defect ive provision in chapter 10 of the session taws of 1397 theee warrants were not only authorised but required to be issued quar terly." "We find that there was appropriated for the care of the insane for the years 1S97 and 15S6 under contract of the territory with the Oklahoma Sanitarium company the sum of $0,989 and that th're have been issued warrants for that purpose in the fum of Jll.T4ft.Sl ni excess of the appro priation, and that by reason of a defective provision of chapter 16 of the session latm f :$7 these warrants were not only au-th-irlstHi but required to be issued quar terly To Knjoin Iwnlielln Mine Patent.

LAREDO SMALLPOX RI0TS Terminate in a Deadly En counter With Rangers. Laredo, Texas, March 20. The crisis in the disturbance here over the carrying out of the state health officer's regula tions In suppressing the smallpox epidemic seems to be parsed. When the work of rempving the patient was resumed this morning, the scenes of yesterday were repeated and Captain Rogers, of the state rangers, and four assiotants, ho attempt ed to disperse the crowd, were fired won and Captam Rogers received a bullet in the left shoulder. The rangers returned the fire, killing Agapito Herera. an ex poiiceman, who was leading the rioters, and another Mexican, and wounding a woman, a sister of Herera, who had nred at the ofiicers from the window of a house near by. Several other Mexicans were wounded, but the number cannot et be ascertained, as they escaped la the crowd. DozCd of peop.e report ccc-u.g wounded ryei., but how many taw ihe iarrtfc :ns is not known. Vne rangers were followed by a number of scattered shots in a different quarter of the city populated largely by Mexicans, and they were construed as preconcerted signals by the rioters for reinforcements. Dr. Blunt, according to arrangements made, had no tified Captain Ayers, In command at Fort Mcintosh, that the United States troops were needed, and ac 10:45 a detachment of the Tenth cavalry, mounted and tully armed with 100 rounds of ammunition each, arrived at the market place. City Marshol Josepn Bartholemew was sworn in as an officer and under his direction the crowds were quickly dispersed. The leader of the first crowd encoun tered by the military undertook to talk instead of obeying orders to clear out, and was promptly knocked down with the butt of a carbine and so badly hurt that he died within a short time after being carried away. His followers took the hint and rapidly fled. A Gatllng gun and an ambulance corps accompanied the cavalry men, and affairs took on a decidedly mili tary appearance. All places of business were clcsed and the placing of the Gat ling gun In a position to rake a street will quickly clear that thoroughfare from end to end. Platoons of troopers circulated through the disturbed district and scat tered or drove out the crowds gathhered on the cross streets, most of them tailing refuge under the river banks but offer ing no resistance. Mayor Christen had requested Colonel O'Hearn, the commandant of the Mexi can military force in Neuvila Erilla, to co-operate with the Laredo authorities in preventing the crossing and re-cro&s'ng of the river by crowd in case of trouble, and while several hundred Medians driven out of the disturbed district were refugeelng vi der the river bank a strong detachment of Mexican cavalry deployed on the south bank of the Rio Grande. Those on this side concluded they were coming across to assist them against the colored United States cavalry, and a mighty cheer went up. Fortunately, how ever they discovered their mniane be fore doing anything rash. The city teirg quieted, the work of the h'eAh oTlcci? was again taken up with a guard of cav alry with each wagon, under orders' from Captain Ayers that If anybody attacked in any way the Mexican officers or them selves to "sboot, and shoot to kill." The work prigrcced dunng the rest cf the af ternoon without further Interruption and will be continued under the cavalry guard until completed. The chances of serious trouble seem remote though there may be isolated cases of resistance to the health officers. lllllli Continued from Second Page. the tenure of judges was determinable by their abil ty to please the exe-ctive by the.r decisions of questions of law.

The leases of lands possible to be made In the Indian Territory In pursuance of the recommendation of the Dawes Commission, can only be rendered valid by the endorsement xl the secretary of the interior. There are coal lands, tim ber lands, mineral lands and coal oil lands galore in that favored and resourceful domain. A dispatch of last Friday announced that one S. C. Rutan had been downin the terri tory leasing coal oil lands, who was supposed to be acting for a. London syndicate. The lands leased, or re-leased, are held ander original leases by ilartin Hellar of "Wichita and Ed ivard Byrd and D. Pennington of Chelsea. Sunday evening Ihere arrived at Kansas City, via Chicago, three representa tives of the London syndicate accompanied by a coal oil Expert. These parties left for the Indian Territory, where they will remain some ten days, says the Kansas City Jour nal. These men represent a pool of forty million pounds, or two hundred millions of dollars, a combination strong enough to compete with the Standard Oil company. They announce, however, that it is not the expectation to fight that great trust. ZVIartln Hellar, of this city, who is a coal oil expert, has spent most of his time in the coal and mineral regions of the territory for the past five or six years, where he and his associates have several wells. If the lease is consummated and approved by the secretary of the interior the lands held by Hellar and associates will be included; in fact, their leases cover the center of the coal oil field. to love and nourish women, these will, in regretting Roose velt's determination, feel a heart-throb over this seemingly inhuman -taking off of this victim of some man's brutality. The Kansas Farmers' State School. The greatest and most valuable endowment of public lands given by congress for any institution in Kansas, upon its admission as a state, was that conferred upon the State Agricultural college. This was done for the simple reason that congress was convinced that the future possibilities of Kansas lay along agricultural lines. The Methodist churoh turned over their institute at Manhattan for such an institution. For several years the institution failed to reach the dignity of a college or to be much as an industrial school, and up to the time when John A. Anderson took hold of It, when it swiftly became both a high class college and a thor ough and practical school of the Industries. It never lost the characteristics with which Anderson stamped it until it fell into the hands of the Pops, whose regents and professors forthwith set about converting the Institution into a school of, for and by cranks. It is no longer either a classified college, an ordinary academy, or a practical industrial insti tution, but a creche kindergarten for inculcating the tenets of socialism and psychological vagaries. The Missouri Val ley Farmer, a non-political publication, has been investigat ing this Kansas Pop departure, and what follows is the editor's observations and conclusions. "The main shortcoming of the Kansas Agricultural col lege, under its present management, is its tendency away from agriculture and toward that hazy realm of uncertain bounds which Is denominated "economics." The staff of the experiment station departments are doing most excellent work along practical lines; are studying problems of the keenest interest to the farmers. More, they are making pub lic the results of the studies in plain, straightforward, help ful bulletins, which ore in marked contrast to the ponderous, unpractical "tomes issued under the previous administration, and which compare favorably witli the bulletins of any station in the country. The work of these men, however, is graudally becoming more and more overshadowed by that of men who dream instead of dig, who think they think in stead of knowing that they toil. The Industrialist, the organ cf the college, furnishes the plainest proof of this tendency. It is the college bulletin, setting for the status, the progress, the thought and the aspirations of the institution, and its guiders. That is its motives and that it does. What are we to think, then, when the Industrialist, organ of an agricultural school, devotes, as it does in its March issue, four pages to a dissertation on ""Why the Farmer Should Study Eco nDmies;" five pages of text and a twelve-page diagram to an article on "Civic Analyses;" two pages to "Views of One Millionaire Economist;" two pages to a defense of "The Admirable Record of Regent Vrooman," an, unpractical dreamer of socialism who knows no more of farming or of the needs of farmers and their sans and daughters than jl hog knows of metaphysics;" nine pages to a second paper on "John, "VVtcliff the Morning Star of the Modem Day in Language, Politics and Religion;" eleven pages to a treatise on "Polygon of Forces and Funicular Polygon?" These articles are all of value as showing the erudition and pro fundity of understanding of their authors end as setting forth their views on the subjects discussed, but they sadly over balance the one lonesome agricultural article which the Issue contains a most excellent article, by the way, on "The Oat Crop," by Frank Curds, assistant in the agricultural department and one of the most valued members of the college staff. "What tiie Kansas State Agricultural college needs is to come back to the earth, not only figuratively but literally. It is not all of a farmer's life to grow corn and potatoes and hogs, but those are the main things, and the agricultural college that gets too far away from them is failing by that iruch of doing its duty. Let President Will and his faculty keep this tn mind and devote their efforts more closely to the things of this earth and these times and Kansas people; leaving John Wicliff and Carl Vrooman, and funicular poly tons and millionaire economists and civic analyses to the tend.- mercies of The Xew Time" and George Francis Train, -whose profession and practice are dreaming and frothing. Nothing good is expected of these; much is expected of the Kansas State Agricultural collegeand the Farmer is loath to believe that expectation will ever lead to disappointment Killed a Woman Yesterday. Outside of the woman suffrage contingent the average man aefl woman shudders at the suggestion of hanging a -"oman. It 4s horrible, brutal, t$ execute, to legally kill a votaan. It seems too much like murder. A woman only commits homicide when driven to it by desperation, begotten of wrongs which her gentler nature cannot endure, and so we predict that the Canton jury will not hang the slayer of the man who ruined her. Roosevelt is a hero, a mac of iron nerve, but devoid of sympathy. The miraculous not in tervening, a poor woman, a Mrs. Place, was killed by electricity yesterday i xew York. They bound the helpless creature to a chair and shaved the heir off the back of her head, where they applied one pole and the other to one cf her legs, when the awful current of electrical fire we sent through her quivering frame She was the ftrst woman to be Judicially knied by this most horrible of all deaths, horrible because of the uncertainty of the anticipated ...v. tww WW, noia t, eapjj puBfaAmeBl js fc i proper and justifiable penalty for murder cannot logically rrotest. Those who hold to sex equality of course will aOi complain. Stm the humane besat of him who lores onmu for woman's sake. seaOmeot Is more thaa esteem, more than Mi oWissstioa to protect, and which 1s in truth dimply inborn homage inspired by natereaad aatere's God Advertising for a Husband. The Jap is yclept the Oriental Yankee from the fact that in his national pangenesis he is copying the American in many ways, in his newspaper advertising, in his army and navy and In many of his domestic lines. Our esteemed news paper contemporary, the Kanazawa Shlmbun, of Japan, re fers to a lady who having "caught on" to the matrimonial bureau idea, is advertising in the columns of the Shimbun for a husband. The paper vouches for the character and truthfulness of the woman who will surely prove a catch for the man who secures her. Her name is Hosuijoshi, and she Is anxious for a mate. She describes herself in the ad vertisement as follows: "I am a beautiful woman with cuold like hair, flowery face, willow-like waist and crescent eye brows. I have enorgh property to walk through life hand in hand, gazing at flowers in. the day and the moon at night. If there is a gentleman who is clever, learned, handsome and of good taste, I will join him for life and share the pleasure of being burled in the same grave." Let Them Peter Out. The Cuban representative at "Washington, Gonzales Que sada, advises that nothing be done toward the molestation of the Cuban military assembly, for the reason that any ad verse action would present a timely opportunity to the mem bers of that unstable body to pose as martyrs. This advice is sensible and opportune. Undoubtedly whatever unity in national sentiment may exist among the Cuban people is em bodied in General Gomez himself, and in a lesser degree in the military assembly. Hence if the United States authori ties should adopt extreme measures in Cuba against the assembly, which at its best makes but a temporary and in adequate display of governmental authority, such, action might become a factor in the creation of a spirit of irrecon cilaLla opposition among the Cubans to the really benevolent intentions of the people of the United States toward the re deemed isle. The order issued by the military government in Cuba that after the supply now on hand shall have been ex hausted all rations to the Cuban poor shall be charged against the customs receipts of the province in which they may be distributed is doubly gratifying. It indicates that distress on the island has been reduced to manageable pro portions, that all the ports are in receipt of substantial rev enues, and, consequently, that trade has begun to revert to noimal conditions. The vaporings of the Cuban assembly cannot oiscure the truth that the wounds of war are fast healing, and that the Cuban body politic is on the high road toward convalescence. The machinery of the military ad ministration makes less noise than does the assembly, but it is evidently none the less effective in its operation for that reason. The Foundling, Two Great Western Men. John Sherman and Jofeph Medill were born in the same year, and both in their time and in their way served their country well. Sherman has been perilously ill with pneu monia, but is convalescing. Medill, who has long been an invalid, died" last, week at San Antonio, Texas. He was the Xestor of western journalism, and one of the founders of the Republican party. Like Lincoln, Grimes, Seward, Fessen den, Trumbull and other of the founders, he was better and broader than his party; he could not follow it in the nar rower paths mar'47d out for it by lesser men. Mr. Medill leaves behind -as a monument to his memory the great news paper he established in Chicago; and the'splendid metropolis of the west owes much to him. He was one of its foremost citizens. Misdirected Sympathy. Down in Louisville a condemned murderer was reprieved because he was suffering from small-pox. He will be hanged when he gets over the disease. This prompts the natural inquiry as to why It wouldn't be better to have the thing over with and get the man out of two miseries at one time sort of stamp out the criminal and the disease at the same moment. Time's Whirligig and Ducks. In the early days of Maryland the canvas-back ducks were so numerous that the employers had to contract with their laborers that they should not be fed on canvas-back duck more than three times a week. One man could easily shoot a hundred ducks before dinner time in those days. Nowadays they cost Jo a pair. In London they are worth $15. Helen Gould is the nearest thing to a shield for the vul. nerable breast of unfeeling wealth that has yet appeared In this land, or in the world for that matter. Her kind little deeds have done more than Rockeefeller's million-donations to universities. Mrs. Martha Place was electrocuted In Xew York yesterday. The sentiment agairst execution of women is over whelming in this country. Mrs. Place's crime was cold blooded, but not more so than that committed by Cordelia Botkin. During the great Are In New York not a soul thought to use the Are-escapes. And no wonder. The average man will look at a fire-escape and then willingly step irp and shake hands with death.

The bazaar fire in Paris, as well as the "Windsor fire in New York, Indicates that fire is malevolent Nature's Instru ment against the rich; she uses tornadoes and lightning against the poor. "Auntie," said pretty Elsie Haywood, "Arthur has something to ask you, and I hore you will be pleased."' "Very well, darling," said her aunt, "go and tell him I will be there in a few min utes. But you will not be offended, dear, if I ask you something first. Elsie, do you love him?" "Of course I love him, auntie. Do you think I would marry him If I did not?" "Then, if you are still of the same mind after you have heard what I have to tell you, I shall give my consent." She then entered the parlor. Arthur Glidden, the young man who was waiting there, was the son of the richest man in the place. His face, though not handsome, had a look which made one trust him. He had succeeded in win ning the love of Elsie, and now he had come to ask Miss Maywood to give her consent to their marriage. He was a no ble young fellow and stated his case most eloquently. Indeed, it would have taken a harder-hearted person than Miss May wood to have refused him. "When he had finished she said: "If you are still of the same mind after hearing what I have to say tonight, I will give my consent gladly." Going to the door, she called Elsie, who had been vaguely wondering what her aunt's words meant, "Auntie can't be feeling well," she was saying to herself, "or she would never talk so." Just then she heard her aunt call her, so she entered the parlor. "Elsie, sit here by me, dear." said Ar thur. "Yes, do. Elsie." said her aunt, "for I have a long story to tell you, and you would get tired standing." So Elsie sat down beside Arthur on the sofa, and Hiss Maywood commenced. In the first place children," she said, "let me tell you that Elsie is not my niece at all, but" Elsie jumped from the sofa. "Auntie!" she exclaimed. "I know, dear," said 'Miss Maywood. "No doubt you think me crazy, but I assure you I am perfectly sane." Elsie sank back on the sofa, and Miss Maywood continued: "It was a dark, stormy night, just eighteen years ago; I was sitting before the fire thinking. My thoughts were not pleasant ones, for just three yearsago that night was to have been my wedding night. But again the same old story; we quarreled over a trifle and parted for life. The wind seem ed to sympathize with me, for it howled and moaned in such a dismal manner that I could not help feeling thankful that I had a roof over my head this dreary night, and hoped there was no one out in the storm. As if in answer to my thoughts, the door bell rang, and as Jane was in bed I answered it myself. On opening the door I saw before me a man with a large basket on his arm. He sat the basket down Inside the door and said: "The letter will explain everything, ma'am. He then turned quickly, ran down the staps and was lost to sight in the darkness. It all happened in less .time than it takes to tell, and I was so surprised I hardly knew what to do. I picked up the basket, which was rather heavy, carried it into the dining room and set it on the table. As I did so there issued from it a feeble wail, like that of an infant. I ran for Jane to come and open it, for I would not dare, and my nerves were all unstrung. She came, and we together opened the basket. There, nestling cozily, was the sweetest little baby of perhaps 6 months. She opened her big blue eyes and smiled up at me. From that moment I loved the child and decided to keep her. In the bottom of the basket we found a scrap of paper with the words: 'You will not be expected to keep the child for nothing, for a remittance will be -sent you every month.' "Wo searched the basket for the letter that the man had spoken about, but we could not find it, and concluded he must have meant the- note, though that did not explain much, to be sure. That child was you, Elsie, and my only regret is that I do not know who your parents were. I know your name was Elsie, because It was worked in all your clothes and "Have you changed your mind, Ar thur?" It was Elsie who had spoken. All during the time her aunt was talking she had been as one stricken dumb, and now she turned to Arthur with a sar castic look on her fine face. "Changed any mind?" he echoed. "No; a thousand times no. If anything, Elsie, I love jou more." "Thank Gjrll" she murmured, as he clasped her in his arms. One day, about a year after Arthur and Elsie were married, Elsie, who was ex ploring the attic, came across an old mar ket basket. Thinking it was worthless, she started to tear out the lining, but in doing so a scrap of paper tucked up under the rim caught her eye. She pulled It out and glanced over the contents. It was the other half of the note that had been found in the basket the night it was brought. The note was from Miss Maywood's former lover, saying that the child was his and asking her to care for it for the old love's sake, as he was dy ing and had no relatives to send It to. So the mystery was solved, and you will not find a happier couple than Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Glidden. Boston Post.

The London Daily Mall tells this pretty story of a kiss sold at aucUon: A fascin ating actress, whose name need not be mentioned, being anxious to assist a cer tain charity in the provinces, offered a kiss to be put up at auction. The bid ding was brisk and had advanced in three leaps from two guineas to thirty, when without further parley the round sum of SfO pounds was offered. There being no higher bid. the kiss was knocked down by the auctioneer to a colonel in one of our line regiments, who came forward to mee"t the blushing lady. But to the surprise of all present, the colonel introduced a dear little fair-haired boy, explained that it was his grand son's fifth birthday, and that be had ac quired the kisi as a birthday gift for him. Whereupon Miss took the child In her arms and discharged her debt with Interest. The charity, a local one, m which the colonel took a keen interest was the richer by S00 pounds for the granddad's generous whim. But a iltUe bird whispered afterward that at the colonel's dinner party that night he had one also "on the strict Q. T." "Why the Bear Danced.

Jgfee tEicMte lailii gsjjle: litesttatj SHcrtmrg, -tmxft 21, 1899 MISS IIMRHMOID Admits She Killed Edwin C. Jones WITH AN OLD BED SLAT Is Arrested and Put County Jail. Into Edwin C. Jones has paid, the price or a epree with death and the coroner's jury will hold an inquest over his remains at 10 o'clock today. Nine. Raymond, against whom convicting evidence ha been se cured to commit her as his slayer, is in the county jail to await the action of the law for the inhuman assault on the old man while he was sleeping in a disorderly report. The particulars of the death of Edwin C Jones is no more than a story of de bauchery and its result. Yesterday moni ins he died at Brown's prUate asjlum on South Hydraulic aenue, alter a week of .errible suffer.ng. caused by an injury administered by Nina Raymond, a disrepu table woman and a "dope fiend." in the house of Mra. Roberts, at 338 North Wa ter street, last Tuesday night. Jones is an old man, a carpenter by trade, but lately working with the men who are ex cavating for the Potts Drus company building. He had received his pay a few days ago, and according to his usual in clinations, proceeded to go on a spree. It la said that he had been drinking with Nina Raymond during the day and at night had wandered into Mrs, Roberts' piace, and in his intoxicated condition, taid down. Nina Raymond came in the back way and, taking a bed slat, dealt Jones two or three terrific blows over the head and fcreost, rendering him uncon scious for a tBne. Mrs. Robert ordered a hack from Stone's barn and had the in jured man taken to his room on the third floor over 125 West Douglas avenue. T. L. Anderson, who drove the hack, delivered the man to the place, but found the door locked, and had to leave him in the hall way, where his room-mate, James Rozell, found him late in the night. He was tak en into his room by Rosell and cared for until Friday morning, when Major Burr, of the police department, had him taken to the City hospital. Jones refused to call a physician, saying he would wait until he could be taken to the hospital, as he de sired very much to go there, evidently thinking that he needed a systematic treatment for alcoholism, as well as for his injuries. After being taken to the hos pital, he rapidly -grew worse, and erysip elas set in. and he became a terrible suf ferer and a horrible looking sight. Satur day night he feecaane delirious and it w as impossible for the hospital force to con trol him. On Sunday morning he was sent to the county jail in charge of Po liceman Stewart, Aspey and Davis and the faaokraan, E. O. Stewart, all of w horn were necessary- to control him in his de lirium. When he arrived at the jail his head was swollen out of shape, both eyes shut, and with putrid, running sores all over his head. The sheriff decided that the Jail was no place for the man, and he notified Commissioner Howard, who ordered the man sent to Brown's asylum, where he died at 2 o'clock. His misery and troubles and the effects of his last debauch ended at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. His body now lies at Mueller s undertaking rooms, and after one more move will perhaps rest undisturbed for ever. While being taken from his room to the City hospital, he told L. Lampart that he had been slugged and robbed in the alley in the rear of the Klondike sa loon, and that the robbers had taken two dollars in money from him. He told dif ferent stories of his trouble before he be came delirious. When T. L. Anderson. the haekman at Stone's barn, went after him he found him in a terrible plight, with a badly cat head and bleeding pro fusely. No effort was made to give him assistance at the resort, because his money was gone and they had no further use for him. H. C, Lentz, who works in Hays' har ness shop, said to a reporter for the Eagle: "I found the old man in his room Wednesday morning. The blood had not vet been wasted from hie head, and he was suffering a great deal. I notified a policeman of his condition, but he did not try to do anything for the old man. I was afraid to try to wash his head for fear it might give him cold. On Friday morning the police took him away, but not until he bad got very bad off. I felt sorry to see him delirious and feverish in his misery. Once he feit around on the floor and got tne spittoon to drink out of. thinking it was the water bucket. It was a horrible tight." James Resell, with whom Jones had been batching, said: "I found the old man in the hall when I went up to the room Ute Tuesday night He was then intoxi ated, and when I took him in the room I was surprised to see him bloody and in jred so severely. He told me that he had been robbed. I wanted to send for a doctor then, but he said to never mind until morning and then I could srt a pe ..ceraan and send him to the hospital. Next morning he was In a bad state, and I thought he would have delirium tremens. I wanted to quit my -work and wait on him. but he would not let me. He was a kind-hearted man, and once when I was tick for two weeks he took good care of ie. mad I felt that I ought to help him. anally got the police to take him to the v spital where he wanted to go, on Fri-t-y. Detect Harry Sutton was up to see Jones Thursday, and he said he was in bad shape. He had been drinking a toddy to brace him tip, and Sutton told him he would have him taken to the hospital next morning when he got over the effects of Us toddy. Jones told Sutton that he had been on a spree when he was robbed and did not want the woman arrested, as it would gre him notoriety. He said he was hit with a bed slat bv the Raymond woman, with whom he had been on a spree. Mrs. Roberts stated to the police officer whoei she called to arrest the Raymond woman that Nina came in:o her house drunk and deliberately hit Jones over the head with a bed elat and otherwise dis turbed the peace of the Roberta woman a-'d her family Nell Nina Raymord was een In the DRINK GRAIN-0 after you have concluded that you ought not to dnnk coffee It is not a medicine, but doctors order it. because It is health ful, invicorating and app'isin.

I decided to try Hood's SarsapariUn, and when I had taken two bottles I could see a change for the better. I have now taken tour bottles and the ulcers are well.

She H a low, heavy set woman with dark, piercing eyes, in which is the fire of a demon. There is yet in her make-up, after ten years of sin and debauchery, the evidence that she has been a beauti ful woman in her day. She is said to be one of the worst morphine fiends that ever struck the low places in this city. Time and again she has been in the dty jail on various charges, and always sne has had to be fed on morphine In order to keep her qu.ee She was yesterday supremely contented under the influence of the drug and when seen by the re porter, there was no evidence that she felt the least fear or retribution for her crime. She was lying on the little iron cot, and was beckoned over to the grate to be in terrogated. "Did Jones give you any provocation for the assault you made on him with a bed slat?" "Why, of course he did," she answered in a nonchalant manner. "Why was the provocation?" "I won't say any more tonight," and she wheeled and returned to her cot. All the persuasion that could be brought to bear would not induce her to say an other word about tin trouble, excepting that she would tell her story today. When Sheriff Simmons went after the Raymond woman, he secured the bed slat, which he took to the jaiL One end of the slat was covered with blood, there be ing three different splotches, indicating that she had hit Jones two or three times. Coroner Laughlin will hold an inquest Women Must Register. It is now assured that the women of the city are going to take an important part in the coming city election. That be ing true, every woman who is for Finiay Ross for mayor and who does not register loses Ross one vote. The registration books soon close. If you put the mat ter off much longer you will have thrown your vote away. The time to register is today. It is but a block from the corner of Jlain street and Douglas avenue to the city building, and there on the first floor, with no stairs to climb, is the place for women to register. It is surprising that after all the agitation, some of the most prominent business men in the city are still not registered. If these men intend to vote, and every one of them does, they must register at once. Longer delay is not to be thought of. Register today. Go yourself, and do not wait to be urged.

The bulk of the work was in the basement of 'the City building, where the women register. Over 570 ladies came in during the day, and so far as could be noticed in casual conversation the honors for Ross and Tapp were about evenly di vided. Touring the latter part of the day there was a decided Ross sentiment in the office talk while the queen sovereigns gave their names and age. Upstairs City Clerk Kramer and his as sistants were kept busy with the stead run of work, which lasted through the en tire day., The feature of yesterday was the regularity with which the voters came steadily pouring in. The total up to S o'clock last night was. Hales, 4.422; females, 1,935. Total, 6,357 One thing is very apparent in the matter of registration and that is that the women who are for Mayor Ross must register at once. There Is still a reprehensible lack of in terest in the contest. The early belief of the Republicans that they would win easily and without effort has not been dis pelled as much as it should be. The claim was made two years ago that if Mayer Ross was elected he would make a good business mayor. He was elected after a hard fight. From the day he took hold of the city he has guarded its in terests as he would those of a very dear child. The "Wichita of two years ago was not inviting. Miles upon miles of black, rotting, jagged board sidewalks reached everywhere. Crossings had reared high above the surrounding ground, streets were ungraded and uneven. Griffenstein park was a tangled wilderness. The finances of the city were in bad shape. No one wil or can deny these assertions Mayor Ross began to improve the city. He gave the impetus to the movement to paint residences, to build new homes to erect additions; he made the streets bet ter; he improved the sidewalks a hundred fold. He gathered in the revenues of th city and honestly turned them over. He conducted the business of the city in a strictly business way. No one denies thi The opposition does not deny it. Contra diction on every hand stares them in the face if they do. The only thing the oppo sition has attempted in the way of a cam paign is ridicule ridicule of Mayor Ross' inability to make a speech; ridicule of the claim of his friends that he has been an exceptional mayor; ridicule of everything pertaining to his administration. But everbody who is for Mayor Ross and who does not want to see "Wichita turned over to a government by emotional whims should register, and do so today. Prostrate Wichita by the inauguration of experiments in municipal government and every merchant, every laborer, every home-owner, every worker for Wichita and for himself and family will under stand, too late, how important a matrer this of registering and voting is. Nearly every laborer, everv merchant, eve-y owner of real estate knows what Wichita has passed through since 15S9 During the last two years it has begun a revival. Those who have but recently moved to the city need merely to ask any one who has been through the mill what a difficult time it was. Now the businesses, of the city are prospering, the artisans are at work, the city is keeping step with its prosperous neighbors in Oklahoma. It is In no shape to be practiced upon. The registration books will be open to night, Wednesday and Thursday till 9 o'clock. ...nillinery Opening Thursday...

6 fe Wixdtnn Jpaitij gaglu: littstfatj WcIgvuium, ptaeeft 21,1899 THEIR VBDHIED Five Little Children Murdered by Their Father IS TflE" JURY'S CHARGE And Burned in Their Beds, Own Passengers on the Missouri Pacific from Hutchinson, which reaches Wichita at 0:20 p. m., reported great excitement in Hutch inson last night and considerable' talk of lynching a man by the name of John iloore, who was arrested there at 6 o'clock -n the charge of murdering his five chil dren and burning their bodies in an old house. Charles L. Joyner, a laborer at the Hutchinson salt works, was on the train. He said the whole town was in an uproar of gossip and excitement. He saw the body of the three-year-old boy. The throat was cut till the heaad would not hang to the body without being held there. The little fellow's face was blistered and black but the flesh iwas not torn. Mr. Joyner said it took the coronor's jury only about fifteen minutes to bring in a aflniMng charging Moors with murder. A dispatch from Hutchinson says: An atrocious crime was revealed here today when the coroner and his assistants removed the dead bodies of live little chil dren from the houce occupied by John Moore, which burned" about 7 o'clock in the morning. A coroner's jury investiga ted tne case and, in accordance with the jury's recommendations, Moore, the father of the dead children, was arrested on a charge of murder. The tragedy has caused much excitement here and there is some talk of lynching the prisoner. However, a lynching is not looked for. "YVnen the firemen and neighbors reached the burning house the father was the only member of the family of seven found outside. Ills actions "were queer and he would not talk. "While the building was still burning, and his children within the burning walls, he took a horse from Ms 6table and rode away. "When the firemen entered the house, after having partly quenched the flames, tiey found the five children lying side by side in a bed on the floor, all dead, but not badly burned. Tho dead were Carl, aged 12; May. aged 10; Pearl, aged S; Charles, aged 7 and Lee, aged 3 years. Tho coroner's autopsy, held this after no in, developed convincing evidence of an awful crime. The skull" of caach child was badly indented, and from tho dents long fractures extended. AH but one of the children had been stabbed in the neck. The throat of the three-year-old, a pretty bry, had been slashed so deep that the spinal column had been severed. It was upon these facts, and the strange behavior of the father, that the authori ties base their charge of murder. When Moore was called before the coro ner's Jury to testify, he pretended to be lieve that -an exploding lamp had caused the fire and that his children had met death in the flames. He testified that he was awakened from a deep sleep by the smoke, and that he fountt the house aiire al. over. It was fifteen minutes, he said bef .re ho recovered his senses and then In did not try to save his children because he knew they mu.-t be dead, as the fire had started in the room in which Uiev r re sleeping. 1Ijs ridm -away from fire he explained by stathfe that lite wife tv as away from home attending a sick ncnd and that he went to tell her of Jfhi'n r M0re ShWed ,Ut,e crn tv hen the jury returned the verdict chanr lrg mm wfth murder.

Sheriff Wheeler of Fort Scott was in the city yesterday enroute to Hutchinson with R. E. Wolfe, a prisoner whom he was taking to the Hutchinson reforma tory. Wolfe Is the last of eight prisoners who escaped from the Fort Scott jail a year ago. The sheriff was feeling good over the fact that he had captured the last of tho prisoners who had successfully broken away from him. Wolfe was in Minnesota, and by an artful scheme the sheriff gave the authorities in (Minnesota to understand that Wolfe was not wanted1 back at Fort Scott, and Wolfe, hearing of it, proceeded to visit his old stamping ground, where he was instantly picked up. Ho was. convicted and sentenced to the reformatory for burglary. BAYLESS BLOCK SOLO TO OBA 31'KIXXEY He Gets the Property as a Pure In vestment.

St. John's Episcopal church was filled to its capacity Sunday morning and even ing to greet the return of their rector, Rev. John F. von Herrhch, after his long but successful trip in the east to raise money to pay off the lariro debt on thr church. The Right Rev. Bishop MllLspaugh came unexpectedly to greet the rector on his return which was a great gratification not only to the successful rector but to every one of the large congregations pres ent at both services. By request of (Rev. von Herrhch the bishop preached both morn.ng and evening. The bishop spoke eloquently of the great work done in the past two or three years the great debt that had been entirely cleared off by the untiring labor and determination of Mr. von Herrlich, and the large amount of money given by hundreds of wealthy east ern people for that purpose. He dwelt upon the fact that a great pile of aban doned masonry toad been transformed into a beautiful church structure m the state of Kansas through the labor of the people of the church. He urged them, now that their material struggles were over, to work with the same earnestness and 2eal in moral and spiritual directions. The music at both services was of a very high order and the offertory solo by Miss Monte Dunbar was a glorious piece of vocal melody. The offertory m the even ing by Mr. Shields. "The Palms," 'was rendered in his usual excellent manner. The bishop announced that the next dio cese convention would take place next September in St. John's church, when every clergyman in the state and their del egates would be present in Wichita. St. John's church will be consecrated upon lMl uccason. xne church will be pewed and frescoed. ery soon HE QU0TESP0ETRY r. Quina Jlarriou. MocUw.-.u Knows livery i, ne or ftyron. Colonel P.

Immediately after the legislature two years ago, I. P. Campbell brought suit against the Santa Fe railroad for damages on account of the refusal of the road to issue return transportation to Attica, Kan., for one car of cattle which Mr. Campbell shipped to Kansas City. The law had just been passed and Mr. Camp bell brought the first suit. Railroad com panies had up to that time refused to issue return transportation for less than two cars, and the suit brought toy Mr. Camp bell was a test. He obtained judgment in the district court here and the case was appealed. Tne appellate court at Fort Scott affirmed the case in a decision hand ed down Saturday. It Is probable now that the case will go to the supreme court. Following are the decisions for the cen tral division: M. L. Green and Geo. L.

Ham's Horn. li HUES In Mr. Monnett's Standard Oil Investigation, ATTORNEY AND WITNESS Have a Blackguarding- Match In Open Court, New York, March IS. The hearing In the case of the attorney general of Ohio against the Standard Oil company was continued here today with John D. Arch bold; of the Standard Oil company, on the stand. Mr. Archbold, replying to Mr. Monnett, stated that the Standard com pany of Ohio, is carrying out the order of the Ohio court to withdraw from the Standard Oil trust as speedily as possible. "Was not the entire interest of the liquidating trusts committed to one at eorney?" asked Attorney Flags, for the complainant, "and did he not vote for all their interests in the stockholders' meet ings?," "The liquidating trusts," he said, "have never voted since the dissolution of the trust. Before that they did vote for offi cers of the Standard- Oil company." A number of other questions were ask ed as to the duties of the liquidating trus tees, and then Mr. Kline, for the Stand ard Oil company, objected to Mr. Flagg asking questions after the attorney gen eral had completed his examination. Commissioner' Brinsmade ruled that only one lawyer should conduct the cross-examination. "Did the officers of the company make any reports of the board of trustees of the company, after the decree of 1S92?" asked Mr. Monnett. "I object," said Mr. Kline. Commissioner Brinsmade told Mr. Arch bold to reply, and he answered: "I don't know what he means, and I don't think he does." "Did the defendant company know offl- i.n,. t .v, ti.. f ATo,-,.Vi 01 -itv lttu"i when the trustees were dissolved?" asked Mr. Monnett. "I don't know," replied Mr. Archbold. "I suppose some of us know about it individually." "Did the company oppose in any way that resolution?" "Whatever action was taken by the company" was in careful compliance with the ruling of the court." "You evidently did not understand tRe question," remarked Mr. Monnett. "Well, I'm not to be blamed for that." said Mr. Archbold, and he requested his answer to stand when the question -was repeated. "Was not the defendant company pres ent at the meeting by some of its stock holders?" "Doubtless some of the stock owners were present. I don't see any sense in the question." Nearly every question asked was met by an objection from counsel. Mr. Mon nett tried to show by the witness that the Standard Oil company was as effectively represented at the meeting of March 21, 1S&-, as it was at the formation of the trust in 1SS2, but he could not frame a question proof against the objections of the counsel and the ruling of the commis sioner. At last he gave up the attempt and asked: "To your knowledge has any act or ef fort been made by the defendant company to disentangle itself from the trust, except to fall in with the resolution passed on March 21, 1593?" "The company Is absolutely disentangled from the trust, "and it has done no act not In accord with absoluta disentangle- t ment from the trust." Attorney General Monnett persisted in his endeavor to show that the defendant company was still a part of the trust, and that its stock was controlled by the trust, but Mr. Archbold as persistently denied that such was the case, maintaining that after the liquidation in accordance -with the order of court, no stock of the corpo ration remained in the hands of the trus tees or under their control. While Mr. Flagg was suggesting something to Mr. Monnett, -Mr. Archbold spoke to Mr. El liott. Mr. Flagg overheard part of the talk and said hotly: "I am not accus tomed to this treatment from witnesses." Mr. Archbold leaned his elbow on the tables and retorted: "I'll have something Jo say to you presently, Mr. Flagg." "You must have been drinking, Mr. Archbold," said Mr. Flagg. "No, I have not been drinking, except tea. I know what I'm about. Commis sioner, I apologize to you, but that man (indicating Mr. Flagg) is ridiculous." Mr. Elliott asked the witness as to the statement made to the reporters on Fri day that the company had destroyed six teen cases of their books just after an order was made to produce them before the master. "The statement," said Mr. Archbold. "is not true. "It is false and malicious, and was made purposely and knowingly. It was made to mislead public sentiment." Mr. Flagg interpolated something and Mr. Archbold shouted: "You keep still, or I'll expose you right here." "You expose," sneered Mr. Flagg. "You can't expose anything;" "You low-lived began Mr. Archbold. "Can any one be low-lived," asked Mr. Flagg. "in comparison with a Standard OU magnate? A decent man would be ashamed to walk up the street with you. You talk of me, you you "You are a coward and a liar," shouted Mr. Archbold. "You are a liar," responded Mr. Flagg. promptly. "You are a coward, and all your millions can't help you. If you can expose anyone, do It now." "You are a contemptible liar," retorted Mr. Archbold. "Some one blackmailing you, I suppose Tou are always claiming that," sneered Mr. Flagg. While Mr. Archbold and Mr. Flagg were thus discoursing. Mr. Elliott appealed to Commissioner Brinsmade. The commis sioner invoked both to be quiet. Mr. Flagg was the first to recover his compo sure. He lighted a cgarette and walked up and down the rvm. When order was restored Mr. Monnett asked Mr. Arch bold: 6 PURC GRAtt CRCAM OF TARTAR PCWDCF. -nmj !Wii Awarcted Highest Honors, World's Fair Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair BAKIN6 R3! f A A P li UnLltO sff43fe&A SflAKiNt Wakes the food more delicious and wholesome "Did not your employee, McNierney, testify that he burned sixteen cases of books, and did not the drayman corrobo rate his testimony?" "I don't know." "Did he not burn sixteen cases of books?" "Any testimony that he save referred to the accumulation of old matter, and to nothing material to this issue." "Is it not true that McNierney was dis charged a few days later?" "I don't know. I know he did not de serve to work a moment longer for the company." At this pointy despite the protests of Mr. Brinsmade, Mr. Archbold repeated his tirade against the attorney general. "This man," he said, "gives out false and malicious statements to such papers as will publish them. He got a lot of fellows of low station and semi-anarchists to furnish the testimony he wanted." "Thoe low fellows were your own em ployes?" asked Mr. Monnett.' Mr. Archbold dodged the question. "I know one man was an anarchist," said he. "You know all about them. It was you who hired them." That aroused the attorney general, who had so far kept his temper well. "Do you mean to say," he demanded, "that I hired a single man to give col ored testimony?" Two or three times he repeated this question, but Mr. Archbold did not reply. Finally Mr. Archbold said: "Your whole conduct here has borne evidence of malignity. You brought in testimony that was untrue and kept out testimony you knew we could prove un true." "Mr. Archbold," interrupted the com missioner, "you really "Yes, I know," answered the witness, butI can't stand it. This man has mis represented the state of Ohio, my native state, long enough and it is time he was rebuked." Mr. Monnett then obtained the ear of the court. He made a long argument In favor of striking out all the last part of Mr., Archbold's evidence. Mr. Kline re plied and the court decided to strike out all but the first question and answer, Mr. Archbold's contradiction of the pub lished statement of Mr. Monnett. Then Mr. Monnett got on the record an answer from Mr. Archbold that all he knew of the burning of the sixteen cases of books and of McNeirney's testimony was by "competent authority." Mr. Monnett made a brief speech, explaining that he represented the state of Ohio. An ad journment was then taken until Monday at 10 o'clock a. m. MR. MONNETT IS ''DARED" By .Standard Oil Attorneys to Ilcvcal u Bribe Giver's A'auie. :ovr York, March 20. Upon the arrival of the interested parties In the Standard Oil company hearing at the Hoffman House it was decided to take no testimony today. It was decided to have a hearing of th ecase of the state of Ohio against the Buckeye Pipe company, a branc'i of the Standard Oil company, in the office of Mr. Mills, acting as commissioner for the state. Messrs Elliott and Kline, counsel for the Standard Oil company, sent a letter to At torney General Monett of Ohio today de manding that he make public the name of the man who offers him. a bribe to discon tinue his "fight. This Is the letter: "Hon. F. S. Monett, Attorney General of Ohio: On March 4, eGorge Rice an nounced to the public press that a bribe of $500,000, less $100,000 commission, had been offered you to induce you to stop or delay proceedings against the Standard Oil com pany now pending in the supreme court of Ohio. "You arc reported to have denied entire ly, at Toledo, the Rice story, but by the time you arrived at Columbus, the same day, you concluded that the story was true, and accordingly, in verious news papers on the morning of the 3th instant, you made a statement that the Standard Oil company through some 'friend of yours had offered you 5400,000 to influence your action with respect to cases pending against it and other companies in the supreme court of Ohio. Reputable news papers of the state, notably the Cleveland Leader, the Toledo Blade and the STiio State Journal, have called upon you to disclose the name of the 'friend' who thus corruptly approached you. "You are reported in an interview In the Cleveland Plain Dealer of the 7th, as say ing that 'if you were to give out the name of your friend, half a dozen departments would be after him at once, and It might be they could force or persuade him to keep his mouth shut.' You do not seem to realize that the reason given by you for refusing to disclose the name of your friend is an admission that the company does not know the name of the party whom you say was commissioned to offer you $480,0W and therefore you must have known that the alleged friend made the offer to you without the authority of knowledge of the Standard Oil company. "In the New York World of the 9th in stant, you are reported as saying that you had written to the friend who tried to bribe you that 'you would not expose him until public interest demanded it. "In another interview, in the Cincinnati Commercial-Tribune, of the 6th Instant, you are reported as saying that 'your friend had agreed to protect you.' The arrangement for protection therefore seems t obe mutual. So fir as your (state ments connect the Standard Oil company with any attempt to bribe you, they are totally false. You have the names, or claim to have, not oniy of the friend who approached you, but also of others acting with hton, because on the 14th instant you said in the public press that these men were telegraphing you from New York. "While nothing in your story has d-rectly connected the Standard OU company with the attempted bribery, you have desired the public to assume such connection. We now demand that you give the name or names of the persons who made such an offer to" you claiming to represent the Standard OU company, that we may take steps to quiet this last and most vicious of the many false and sensational stories to which you have given currwicy. tS gned) "M- F.

Ntw York, March S A hearing m tt.e c.u.e of the state of Ohio again- the Buck ce Plrv Line conwany was ueoro iv.js afternoon la the ofiiee f C. EJj-a- Mi". The hearing was held thai ..i-e it;o-.-y geaerai nu?ht take deposttfo.is in to r' ceediags brought in Ohio :i anns 1 charter of the Buckeye I... .m.f. f r viotetten of the unu-trust .aw cf O-.e. The claim of the prosecution is that the Standard Oil trust still exists and Uat despite the law the Buckeye Pipe Line company Is still a member of it. The Buckej e Pipe Line company w as organiz ed for the transportation of crude oh. Its headquarters are at Lima, Ohio, and its capital stock is $10,000,000. H. If. Rogers is the president. At the proceedings to day M. F. ElHott and Virgil P. Cli-.e rep resented the company. Attorney General Monett appeared for the 'state cf Ohio. W. I. Flagg acted as his assistant. As a preliminary to the inquiry, Messrs. El liott and Cline agreed to admit a copy cf the testimony given in October last John D. Rockefeller in the Standard Oil com pany case, provided the Ohio court should decide that such evidence was competent. Counsel objected, however, holding that such testimony was not competent. George Rice was the first witness called. Mr. Flags asked him if he ever ownd a certificate of the Standard Oil trust, s?nd he answered yes. The witness identified as his property two certificates, nne a certificate of the Standard Oil and the other a certificate of assignment of legal title, both original certificates. "Have you ever owned a trust certificate of the kind called a certificate of equitable interest, which you handed in to the trust and for which you received a certificate known 'as an assignment of legal title?" asked Mr. Flairs-. Mr. Rice said he could not reply unless ffiven an opportunity to explain and Mr. Flagg asked: "Did you ever hand in to the trust a certificate for which you re ceived stock of a constituent company?" Mr. Rico said yes, and again asked to be aHowed to explain. Mr. Flagg held him down to a "yes" or "no' answer. Mr. Flagg asked an expla nation of the exchange of stock certificate and Mr. Rice showed that at the dissolu tion of the trust he received in place of his original certificate of stock a certificate of assignment of legal title which entitled him to his proportion of the propertv owned by the twenty different companies represented in the trust. "The last certificate conveyed, to me," said Mr. Rice, "an equitable Interest in the property owned by "the trust; the second conveyed to me the legal title." "To whom did you present the certificate supposed to convey legal title?" w1 "I did-not present it. It was presented by my agent, Mr. McKemper, to the liquidating trustees." "What did you receive directly upon presentation of that certificate?" "I received corporate scrip in nineteen different constituent corporations and a paper acknowledgment of a fractional In terest in the Anglo-American Oil company of London. "Now, having stated so much, will vou state if the Buckeye Pipe Line companv was a member of what is known as the Standard Oil. trust?!' asked Mr. Flagg. "Yes, it was." j "How do you know?" "By its being represented in thP -nr. .pprate scrip I received from the liquida tion trustees." In answer to questions, witness said he had owned this corporate scrip about three years. He had never received anv divi dends from an 'yof it. None of the com panies in which he received fractional shares upon surrender to the trust of the trust certificate, poid dividends on such fractional shares. Besiaes this scrip, wit ness said he had six sftares represented by certificates of, the "Standard Oil trust. A special dividend: paid on the Standard Oil trust certificates in the hands of the liquidation trustee. Mr. Rice said, amount ed to 55 per cenffor the- last two years, or li 3-J2 per cent a year. The regular dividend was 12 per cent a year, making a total dividend of 29 1-2 per cent per year. Witness said the fact that the three sevenths of the stock of the pipe line com pany still rem ined as it did, constituted the reason for the existence of what Is known as the liquidating board of trus tees. He understood that the other four sevenths were owned almost exclusively by the liquidating trustees and the officers of the other nineteen constituent com panies. His refineries had been sict down for about three years. He was still pro ducing oil. He thought the Buckeye com pany did 95 per cent of the local pipeage in the stato of Ohio. He was not aware that other companies had tried to obtain some of this business. Mr. Cline asked the witness if he had not testified in Col umbus against the Standard Oil companj and- against the 'Buckeye ripe Line com pany on behalf of Attorney General Mo nett. Mr. Rico said he had, and in reply to other questions said that his expenses had been paid by the attorney general, but that he had not been paid for his time, nor did he expect to bo paid for it. The hearing will be continued tomorrow. It is very hard to stand idly by and see our dear ones suffer while awaiting the arrival of the doctor. An Albany (N. Y.) dairyman called at a drug store there tor a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for h:m to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which ht hoped would give some relief until the doc tor s-hould arrive. In a few hours he re turned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The drug gist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demaod for it from that part of the country.

Havana, March 0. During a riot be tween the Havana police and the populace last night, three policemen were killed and about twenty-five persons were wounded on both sides. Public opinion supports the police without reserve. There seems to be concerted action among the Nanigoes, the secret society of the law less classes here, to attack the police upon every possible occasion. All the trouble of the last two nights occurred in the outlying wards, which are inhabited by the worst classes. The city of Havana was much excited this morning over the rioting, and the bravery and determina tion shown by the police is much com mended, with the result that the force Is repadly regaining the prestige which it had lost among the better element. The police station at Cerro was at tacked yesterday afternoon by a number of colored men, a band of men from the city slaughter house. The police repelled the attack and the riotters left three men badly wounded when they retired. Upon this occasion no policemen were hurt. Chief of Police Menocal gaave orders to suspend tho public balLs last night, and General Ludlow, in command of the city of Havana, sustained the chief of police. As the police were approaching the place where the ball of Society of Pilar was in progress, near Cerro, for the purpose of dispersing it, in accordance with orders, people opened fire on taws trszz f?.e nouse. The fire was returned by the police. The result of the fusilade was that two police men were seriously wounded and eighteen of their opponents were wounded. In different wards three policemen ware assassinated while on duty. The murder ers crept up behind them and stabbed the officers to death. Three negroes In Galiano street attacked a policeman with knives. The officer defended himself with his revolver, killing one of his assailants and wounding another one. The third man escaped. A Cuban officer attached to the command of Colonel Acea attacked a po liceman on San Rafael street with a ma chete. The officer shot him through the heart. An American njgress was killed by a stray bullet. The police in all cases of conflict with the populace have followed their orders and have fulfilled their duties. When ap proaching disturbers of the peace courte ously, in many cases, they were attacked before they had finished speaking. The agitation promises to continue. Colonel John G. Evans, superintendent of the department of correction, thinks the attack on tho police of Saturday was pre arranged to the extent of word being sent to the low cafes that the police were to be "done up" on San Jcse street, which accounts for the large armed crowd there. Two of the prisoners ecaptured admit there was a aconspiracy to drive the police out of tho. city by a series of outrages. Fifty Cuban soldiers from Mnrianacbe Ionging to the command of General Rod riguez, kidnaped three former Spanish guerrillas, employes of the Toledo planta tion, on Saturday and took them into tha bush, where the prisoners were maltreated and, it is supposed, one was Wiled. Toe other two, who were slashed with ma chetes, were rescued by a detachment of the Second Ilhnois regiment. Three of the Cubans were arrested, charged with mur der. The Cubans set fire to the plantation, in five places on Saturday night, but Ma jor Russell B. Harrison, the provist mar shal, and a party of horsemen put out tho fire and captured several of the Cu bans. The plantation, which It situated two miles from the camp of General Firz hugh Lee, was half destroved. i For Infants and Children.

Queen Victoria, on approach ing them, ordered her carriage to be stop ped and spoke a few kindly words of thanks to the delighted fishwives.
