Coxcorp, N. H., May 1—James Palmer was hanged at 11:04 for killing Henry T. Whitehouse May 27, 1888, Two weeks before the murder several articles belonging tothe Portsmouth Electric Company were missed from the light station and suspicion pointed to James Palmer, the engineer. He was discharged and White- house, his assistant, Jess to the place. The Wednesday preceding the murde i Coffin and Whitehouse visited Pal and found the missing property, and among other things a large mechanic's hammer. This Palmer claimed as his own, and to substantiate the assertion that it was his property pointed to his initials (“J. P. i) upon the handle. On this evidence he was allowed to retain the ham- mer and it was not seen again until found near the scene of the crime. The trial occurred in October, 1888, and Palmer was found guilty of murder in the first degree, He was sentenced to be hanged December 7, 1839, but the usual appeals have delayed the execution until today. iiiteatinn emcee A “DRY” DAY IN SOUTH DAKOTA. The Saloons Shut Up for Good Last i Pierre, 8. D., May 1.—At midnight the saloons all over South Dakota were closed and today the liquor drinkers will have to get their fluids from their own cellars, There is scarcely a town in the state where prohibition will not be enforced, and the saloon men have accepted the situation. At Chamberlain the strict en- forcement of the law is desired by prohibition- ists and anti-prohibitionists, the latter hoping thus to secure a speedier repeal of the law. Milbank saloot closed up and sent their fix- tures into Min: ta. Mitchell saw a farewell feast in all the saloons before the hour for closing. The fact that druggists can secure no licenses before June 1 leaves the state almost lutely “dry,” the only resource being private supplies, | In this eity the chief saloon eeper draped hi jtablishment in black and hung out the sign: “This shop is closed until the republican party,is defeated.” Altogether the outlook is favorable for the enforcement of prohibition, a A BIGAMIST’S CONFESSION. ‘When Arrested He Goes to His Room and Shoots Himself. S1no Sina, May 1.—Officer Green this morn- ing called at the residence of Henry C. Ray- mond, No, 6 Maple place, this village, with a warrant for Raymond's arrest on a charge of bigamy. In few minutes Raymond appeared and Officer Green told him he had» warrant for his arrest, Raymond received this an- nouncement coolly and began to question Green as to the charge. Raymond tvld the officer that it was all right and asked him to wait while he went up- stairs to get his hat andcoat. Immediately atter Raymond entered his room a pistol shot was heard and the inmates of the house and Officer Green, who had heard the report of the pistol, hurried to Raymond's room, Raymond wes found on the floor with a pistol shot wound in his left breast. He was still conscious, but refused or was not able to say much about the shooting. - The pistol with which he bad shot himself was tying by bis Two physicians were quickly summoned, who after making an examination of the wound pronounced it probably fatal. Raymond, who is about forty-five years old, was not suspected by his neighbors and the persons with whom he associated of ‘ing two wives. A FIVE-CE) NAPOLEON, S. Ives & Co. to Settle Their Failure at Five Cents on the Dollar. New Youre, May 1.—The settlement among the creditors of the defunct firm of H, S. Ives & Co. for 5 cents on the dollar is about to be consummated, Quite an array of counsel ap- peared before Judge Barrett this morning and asked for an order of reference to examine the accounts without prejudice to the creditors who did not sign the composition agreement. Judge Barrett said he would order a refer- ence and would consider the request of counsel on appointing areferree. There is no oppo- sition to the reference application made by any of the oreditor’s representatives, It is suggested that as the accounts were in- tricate a referee who was an expert at figures should be named, Counsel also desired that the referee should begin to hear testimony on the 12th instant. Itwas shown that over 90 per cent of the creditors have signed the com- position agreement. ——_—__- Riot at Pesth. Pestn, May 1.—The labor demonstration at Pesth was marred by a scene of bloodshed. Early this morning a large number of workmen gathered in front of one of the roiling mills. At first the men were orderly enough. but under the incentive of agitators became aroused and bitterly de- nounced the alleged tyranny of their em- ployers. Finally they lost all self control and engaged in riotous demonstrations, which the police were powerless to quell. Military assistance was summoned and a body of troops promptly 4 peared on the ground with fixed bayonets, The mob was ordered to dis; and upon their refusal to obey the troops charged. ‘Ihe crowd broke and fied in all directions, but not before many of the rioters had been pierced by the bayonets of the soldiers, The mill where the trouble occurred remains open and work is go- ing on as usual, Fiere has been no observance of Labor day in Berne and work in all branches of business is progressing as usual.

Mr. Garland arose and in the usual formal style said: “I move the admission of Mr. Grover Cleveland, who is duly qnalified under the rules.” The chief justice di- rected that the requisite oath be inistered and this was performed by Mr. McKenney, the clerk of the court, Mr. Cleveland then went to the clerk's office, where he paid his fee of $10, had his name registered and re- ceived his parchment. It was not gener- ally known that he was in town and the news of his admission to the bar of the supreme court was a surprise. Mr. Cleveland is of counsel in what are known as the drainage cases from New Orleans and asked for admission in order that he might be quali- fied to appear in these suits before the court. It is quite improbable that the cases will be reached at this term of the court and they will probably go over until next November. THE SCENE IX COURT. If ex-President Cleveland is gathering unto himeelf additional obesity at the rate of twenty- five pounds a month, as some reckless cbroni- cler has asserted, the accretion was not appar- ent to those who watched him as he the cath in the Supreme Court Really be looked more healthy than when President Harrison ‘lieved him of executive responsibility. Ex-Attorney General Garland was Mr. Cleve- land's sponsor, but Mr. Cleveland paid the bill which makes glad the heart and heavy the pocket of the Supreme Court clerk. AN IMPROMPTU RECEPTION. Then there was a reception in the cler! office. Senators and members trod on each other’s toes in their eagerness to greet the ex- Presidént, and when they had been satisfied by a hand-shake and a smile several other persons crowded ia and were made happy. Shortly before 1 o'clock Mr. Cleveland, accom- anied by Mr. Garland and Representative lemphill, returned to the Supreme Court room and took seats inside the fence which separates The following are the opening and closing prices of | the legal luminaries and the inquisitive public. Btock Market, =. es ‘by special Afew minutes later Representative Roswell P. Flower entered and the ex-President was half- way toward him before the Congresmneat found the man he was looking for. Mr. Cleveland's greeting was very hearty, and he said something which made Flower blush, not unseen, but in @ manner which was visible tothe many spectators. The two New Yorkers sat down side by side and talked in an audible undertone, which would have been regarded by the door keepers as sufficient cause for ejectment had the chatterers been unknown to fame. Mr. Garland became tired first, and when he arose Mr. Cleveland fol- lowed his example. Mr. Flower also assumed the perpendicular, MR. TURNER'S TURN, For two or three minutes previous Repre- sentative Turner had been in a back seat await- ing an opportunity to shake hands with Mr. Cleveland, As the little group neared the inner door Turner stepped right in the pathway, and was at once taken under the spresdieg dexter wing of Mr. Flower. “This is Mr. Turner, Mr. President,” for Mr. Flower still harbors an idea that Cleveland is yet chief executiv “Turner, the iceman,” he added in an explanatory tone, “Very glad to meet you, Mr. Turner,” said Mr. Cleveland, and while be and Turner shook hands vigorously he continued: ‘How do you like it, Turner?” (referring, presumably, to congressional life.) “Oh, I like it very much,” responded the good-looking graduate of the pick and tongs. | “That's good,” said Cleveland, and he moved » | out of the chamber, HE INTERVIEWS A STAR REPORTER, The next person to be greeted wasa Stax reporter, “How's Taz Star?’ queried the ex-Presi- dent. “How's Washington? Ho ry- thing?” he went on, in a good-natured attempt to turn the tables on the interviewer. “Haven't anything to say abou: politics.” he said, in response to an inquiry. “Nothing about silver, nor tariff, nor federal election laws, Washington looke very beautiful just now anda visit isa most pleasant experience.

THE CASTLE QARDES INVESTIOATION—THOUSAXDS OF T?algaR RABORERS POURING IN ALMOST WITHOUT INSPECTION—VIOLATIONS OF TEE CON- TRACT LABOR LaW IX THE SOUTH. Ajoint meeting of the House and Senate Committees on immigration and naturalization was held today to bear Timothy F. Lee, special agent of the Treasury Department, upon the subject of violations of the contract labor law inthe south. Before Mr. Lee was heard Rep- resentative Owen, chairman of the House com- mittee, whe, with Representatives Lehibach and Stump, investigated the subject of immi- Gration at New York, made statement to the committee of the result of the labors of the subcommittee. INSPECTIONS AT CASTLE GARDEN A FARCE. Heeaid the workings at Castle Garden had been thoroughly examined. The inspection of immigrants averaged two a minute by each in- Spector. It was a farce; the only wonder was t any of them were turned back. ‘The im- migrants are fleeced by boarding house harp- ies, who keep them in the city a day or more longer then they should be. This imposition them ought tobe broken up. Some com- made to the committee baggage, but none about restaurants on the rsilroads. Money changers in the garden gave the immigrants the same rates as obtamed in Wall street or better, On the whole, Mr. Owen said, the management of Castle Garden was not to be criticized, Several complaints bad been in- vestigated by the committee, but they did not develop anything substantial. PENNILESS ITALIANS COMING IN HORDES. ‘The observation of immigrant officials is that the undesirabie element is increasing. Italians are coming in hordes without mone thout clothes, except what they wear or carry in bags. Each is provided with » passport and all bound for M rty street Mr. Owen said that Italian bankers in this country send agents to Italy to solicit the natives of that country to come to America, Those agents swindle the Italians, charging titket from Naples them as high as @90 for a to New York, the price of to bi Italian bul Inbor under ‘Arriving at New York they go jouses kept or controlled by these thence are sent out to CONTRACTS MADE BY THE BANKERS OR PADRONER with employers, If their pay ie fixed at €1.25 aday, the padrone takes twenty-fire cents of it Besides, he furnishes the shanty in which the men live while at work, and has man in charge of that. The Italians are timid and suspicious, go that it is impossible for Ameri- cans to get at them. Within the past eight years they have almost entirely supplanted other races in the ranks of unskilled labor in New York city. In New England Canadians have taken the places of Americana At Gloucester 75 per cent of the fishermen are Canadians. In one juare mile in New York city there are, said . Owen, 270,000 people—s.000 more than in any other square mile on the earth's surface, These people 5; foreign language ( Italian), observe foreign customs and are surrounded by « Chinese wall, over which they never come snd over which no American can go. THE QUALITY OF IMMIGRATION DETERIORATING. The quality of immigration is deterioating. The percentage of Germans and Swedes is de- creasing and that of Italians and Hungarians in- creasing. Not 5 per cent of the latter can read or write their own Itis the opinion 3 of the sub committee, Mr. Owen, that the people engaged in promoting this class of immigration are — shrewd enough to evade the contract labor law. The witnesses oxamined by the subcommittee, rep- resenting organized labor, gave them no valu- able suggestions as to the manner in which the laws regulating immigration could be amended 80 as to reach the causes of complaint, They said the tion flowing to our shores was burtful to our civilization and DEGRADING TO AMERICAN LABOR, but offered mo remedy, The subcommittee bad secured a vast amount of valuable informa- tion, but for suggestions of change in the laws were dependent upon their ownresources. The — ments at the barge office and ding for ding and transferring immi- grante under the control of the national in- spector, Mr. Owen said, were insufficient. One of the witnesses on the stand made the prophecy that unless there was a change in ar- rangements the country would be startled by <= appalling horror caused by collision on the 7. In answer toa question by Senator Evarts Mr. Owen gave itas his opinion that only a very small per cent of immigrants come to this ee direct violation of the contract la- bor law. Mr. Lehlbach observed that the law, in its nt form, was a farce, and thatas enforced it worked to keep out desirable immigrants, and was no bar to the undesirable ones. Mr. Lebibach called the attention of the com- mittce to the fact that in acase of notable viola- tion of the isw (the glassblowers’ case) the violators were the Knights of Labor, who had urged its passage. MR. LEE EXAMINED. Mr. Lee was then examined by the com- mittee. He said his territory extended from Norfolk, Va,, to Brunswick, Ga., and his duties were to investigate and vent vivlations of the contract Iabor law. In that section of the country, he said, several hundred Canadians came and went every year, working while there in i cotton in steamboats, They did not do any more work than the na- tive laborers, nor did they work for less wages, and it was his-belief the employers were not benefited financially by their labor. They were more pliant, Mr. thought, than the native laborer and for that reason desired. He had worked up 4 CASE AGAINST ONE NORFOLK FIRM for the importation of thirty-five of the Cana- dians and the case is now pending in the United States court at Richmond. The Cana- dians themselves, fearing trouble, he said, had left West Pomt and returned home. The sow’ number of these Canadians worked at jorfolk, West Point and Savannah. Mr. Lee told how English cotton brokers, buying for English consumers, had recently bi it with them cheap samplers, who took the place of American experts who had re- ceived from $5 to @10aday for their work, There seemed tobe no remedy for this, how- ever, as contracts made in foreign countries by citizens thereof do not come within the purview of the law. JTALIANS TAKING THE PLACES OF NEGROES. Mr, Lee spoke of the supplanting of native colored labor by Italisns in the phosphate beds of South Carolina. The negroes formerly made os high ‘ones weut f Hi 3 i f 8 bd THE ELECTION QUESTION. Differeaces of Opinion to be Settled in the House Republican Caucus, At the next session of the caacus the repub- licans of the House expect to dispose of the federal elections proposition. Up to this time there xs no indication that an agreement can be reached. The party appears to be divided into three sections,one representing Mr. Reed's idea in favor of « radical measure, one in favor of the Rowell plan for the exten- siou and strengthening of the present laws with Felation to federal supervisors and one opposed to any action at this time, Mr. Reed is anxious that a strong law should be enacted, but it is a question whether becan get the cancus with him. Many well-informed Fepublicans believe that there is very little Prospect of ap agreement. Mr. Rowell’s plan meets with considerable favor because it does not distarb th it state control, but provides for « system ef pervisors who will have no control of elee- ons. but will make their returna, 1 the returns of the state tair!y conducted, would be issued on the state Teturns of the state officers as they Now are, The only radical change from the present law is provision that when the returns of the fed }eral supervisors show a different result from the returns by the state officers neither candidate ball be put on the rolls and be given his seat in the House until the House has itself passed upon the question. | Goxe Howe.—Controlier of the Carrency Lacey left here for his Michigan home this afternoon.
