HARRINGTON AND PURSSELL ARE OUT Some of the Latest Phases of the Weather Bureau Trouble. | WHY LIEUT. PURSSELL ASKED To BE RELIEVED— TROUBLE NOW AT THE BALTIMORE STATIOXK— SOME OF THE DOCUMENTS FILED As TESTI- MONY. Charges and coutter charges “you did this.” and “well, you did the other,” have been the order since Executive Clerk Me- Laughlin first held up Observer Crane's pro- motion and the rumpus in the weather burcau commenced. Today there have been new de- velopments in the way of charges and counter charges. Since the day Liout. Pursell differed so radically in his testimony in regard to @ | conversation held in Maj. Rockwood’s room |with the testimony given by Prof, Harrington, Maj. Rockwood, Chief Clerk Smith and Private Secretary McCady strained relations have existed between Lieut. Purssell and Prof. Harringion. Today this strain resu'ted in Lieut, Purssell sending letter to the Secretary of Agriculture, asking that he be relieved from duty at the weather | bureau and be recalled to his regiment, giving | his cause for this action discourtesy on the part of the chief of the weather bureau toward | the Agricultural Department, and further stat- ing that for some time, on account of his estimony,he had been given no regular line of | duty. This communication was sent to the returned with a letter from tox. In his letter Prof. Harr count of the testimony given by Lieut. Purs- sell, which, ke states, was entively untrue as to he had refused to hold any personal conversation with the lieuten: but had toid him that on official ~bust- ness he was ready to meet him as formerly. In regard to the assignment of duty Prof. iar- rington sent a list of the assignments which had beer given Lieut. Paresell. The matter resis now in the hands of the Secretary, | though it is probable that as he desires it and enaccount of the strained relations Lieut, Purssel! will be sent for duty to his regiment, TROUBLE AT THE BALTIMORE STATION, Another development has been the tect that charges and counter chwrges Lave beca made from the officials stationed at Baitimore.

HARRIS SAW THE SIGNAL. | Mrs. Harris viewed the raising of the black | flag from the window of her room. When the ominous signal floated on the soft breeze she turned quietly away, resigned and calm, as she has been for past few days. She said she would see the newspaper men this afternoon and give them her statement. At 12:54 Allan Harris arrived at the prison and Principai Keeper Connaughton escorted him to the room in which the body of his brother lay. He notified Warden Duston that an undertaker will call at the prison this after- noon to remove the body of his brother. ‘The witnesses were escorted to the warden’s ofice when all was over. and each one signed the official statement reqhired by law. Drs. Irvine and Daniels conducted the autopsy, which was begun ten minutes after the electro- j eution was over. H THE AUTOPSY ON HARRIS. Dr. C. M. Daniels of Buffalo, who had ;@harge of the arrangements in the death | chamber and of the autopsy, said the electrocu- | tion was the most successful of the seven which ' he has witnessed. | “Harris died without pain,” said the doctor, | “and I do not see how his execution could have been bettered from « humane standpoint.” | “The “autopsy of the body of Harris was completed at 2 o'clock. ‘ihe resuit shows | that the body was well nourished and healthy. There were signs of slight burning on the inside caif of the right leg, but none on the temple. HOW THE MORNING PASSED In Sing Sing Prison Before the Execution of Harris, Sixo Sixo, N.¥., May 8&—Bright spring sunshine did not ligaten the gloom that hung over the prison this morning. Guards moved about with quiet tread and voices were hushed 48 in the presence of death.

He was the grandson | of Dr. Benjamin W. McCready of New York | city. Carlyle went to work early to earn his , own living. He canvassed as a book agent, was a clerk and for two years an actor in a “Paul | Kauvar” company, thus presenting a pretty i varied career for a young man not yet nineteen | Fears of age. ze Having decided to be a doctor he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New | York city, going to live with Dr. McCready. He spent the school year of 1883-89 in that col- |tege. In the summer of 1889 he went to live at Ocean Grove. N. J. In August, 1889, a ball was given at the Cole- man House, Ocean Grove. At that entertain- ment Harris formed the acquaintance of Helen Potts. The girl was then eighicen years old. ‘They went boating. played tennis and took long walks along the shore. In the ensuing fall Harris went back to New York to resume his medical studies. The Pottses moved into New York also, going to live at 116 West 63d street. Helen attended the | College of Music. i Harris continued his calis on her. They be- came +0 frequent and Harris’ attentions so ardent that the suspicions of Mrs. Potts were aroused. Helen seemed to be fond of Harris. On February 18. 0n the pretext of taki Helen to see the stock exchange, Harris an ‘Miss Potts went to the New York city hall and were secretly married by Alderman Rinckhoff under assumed names. Six weeks after the marriage Harris’ calls on Helen began to be | less frequent. He seemed to want to avoid her. | In the latter part of May, 1890, Miss May Scho- | field came to visit Helen. Harris aud Helen were in great troubie, for the girl wife was ina delicate condition. Harris proposed a way to avoid letting the world know.
