At the same time asimilar scene on a smaller scale was being enacted near Lincoin park on the North side. When the pyrotechnic display in the park concluded the immense crowd surged westward on North avenue. While the crushing and pushing each other sidewalk four feet from the ground the sidewaik gave way and 100 people were thrown to- gether in a confused heap. Not understanding what had oe- eurred, and being solely desirous of escaping from the ever increasing and still greater crowds which pour- ed from the park, those in the rear of the broken sidewalk were pushing on until it seemed certain that many would be trampled to death. When the news of the accident had been communicated to those in the rear and they had stopped it was found that half a dozen persons had been seriously injured and a great num ber bruised, but no one killed.

They gave the names of Alson Sams and George W. Chapman. They said their pris- oner was John Thompson, the much- wanted murderer. He did not say anything until the Boston police took charge of him. Then he created a sensation by tell- ing how the Arkansas police had forced a confession from him. He asserts that four men dragged him into the woods in Jackson county, tied a rope around his neck, strung him up until his toes barely touched the ground and threatened to hang him vuless he confessed to the mur- der of Miss White in the distant state of Massachusetts. To save his life he confessed, so he now says. The confession is so full of state- ments utterly at variance with the facts that it was at once decided by the Boston police that the man is either a lunatic or his captors were easily duped. The prisoner was taken to Quincy and was formally ‘held to await identification. Inti- mate friends of murderer Thompson say this is another man. Wabash, Ind., April 30.—Dr. P G.

So he instructed a real estate agent, for his descriptive powers, to advertise it in the papers for private sale, but to conceal the location, telling purchasers to apply at his office. In a few days the gentleman happened to see the ad- vertisement, and was pleased with the account of the place, showed it to his wife, and the two concluded it was just the place they wanted, and that they would secure it at to the office of the agent and told him that the place he had advertised was such a one as he desired, and he would purchase it. The agent burst into a laugh, and told him that was a de sciiption of his own house where he was then living. He read the ad- vertisement again, cogitated over the “grassy slopes,” “beautiful vis- tas.” “smooth lawns,” ete. and broke out, “Is it possible?
