WAS IT CHOLERAt Death of a1 ustrian at Chester, Pa., From ‘& Suspicious Disease. An Austrian named Wazek Prosch, re- cently amived in this country, died at Chester, Pa., yesterday from what his at- tending physician deciares was Astatic cholera. The man was employed at the Wellman iron and steel works and lived on Lewis street in a poor section of the city. Dr. A. L. Boahner was called in to attend Prosch yesterday morning, and at half it two the Austrian died.” The man suf- fered from cramps in the arms, legs and generally over the body, his ‘body and breath were cold, he purged and vomited and the surface of his body had a green and yellow cast. The board of health will quarantine the street and disinfect the premises. Surgeon General Wyman Not Advised. Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service told a Star reporter this forenoon that he had received mo further information as to the alleged case of Asi- atic cholera at Chestef than was contained in the newspaper telegrams. He had at once wired to the Pennsylvania state board of health to inquire whether a bacterio- logical examination had been made in the case,,and, if so, what results had been ob- tained. He would naturally be compelled to delay any action he might take until a reply to his telegram had been received. Up to noon today no such answer had come. The surgeon general also said that no further details had been received of the reported presence of yellow fever on board the schooner Hannah M'Loon which had arrived at the Delaware breakwater from Havana and Matanzas. —_—____-e+-_____ MR.

Thomas Hughes of England, author of “Tom Brown at Rugby,” has written a letter to the President asking him to take steps to protect the property of his son, who owns a cattle ranch in Mexico. It appears that cattle thieves on the border have been running his cattle over into the United States and, having registered his brand, generally succeeded in keeping the stock. He feels that the United States gov- ernment should intervene and the com- plaint has been referred to the State De- partment. aa a Silver Purchases. In reply to the countef*offer of the act- ing director of the mint for silver there was obtained only %,0% ounces of that metal yesterday. Including all the pur- chases made this month the uggregate is about 1,%0,00 ounces. There remain now but two days in this month upon which the government buys silver, and it is al- most certain that the purchases will not reach over 2,500,000 ounces. ———— An Assistant in the Nautical Almanac Office.

Just cast an eye toward them ¢ | earnest canvass for the doorkeepership and A Plan on Foot to Renominate All the Old Officers. MR. YODER’S OHIO OPPONENT. The statement that Turner is not to be the New York candidate for the doorkeeper of the House, and that THos. Coakley will be supported for that place by Tammany, appears to be incorrect. A representative of The Star saw both Turner and Coakley today, and they both denied the statement. . Coakley said that Mr. Turner was the w York candidate for the place and that, as far as he knew, would have the support of the organization and the New York dele- gation, Still, there appears to be some sort of a hitch in the matter which fs not explained. It is sald that Croker has given Turner's candidacy his appro’ The trouble seem: to lie in the disinclination of some of the New York members to take up with Turner. However, the ex-doorkeeper and his friends express satisfaction with the situation and confidence with the result. If the New York delegation is going in earnestly to elect Turner they will start in late and go at it with a rush just before the caucus. In Favor of the Old Officers, ‘There appears to be some difficulty in getting the Representatives greatly inter- ested in the contest, and it is sald that Turner and Mr. Yoder, who wishes to re- tain the place of sergeant-at-arms, are try- ing to get up a nice little plan to have a Fesolution introduced in the caucus lumping all the offices together and re-establishing the old organization without change. This plan is suggested by the fact of there be- ing no contest over the speakership or the other two offices of the House. The canvass of the new candidates for sergeant-at-arms and doorkeeper is too well advanced, however, to give much promise of success to such a plan. Smith of Texas has been making a very bas a very strong backing in the south, with support in other parts of the country. His own state will support him with a solld delegation and a great deal of strength is THE CLERICAL FORCE. What Civil Service Commissioner Boose- velt Says of It. About Evenly Balanced as to Political Parties —Not in Sympathy With Wholesale Re- movals for Partisan Objects. ‘Mr. Theodore Roosevelt of the civil ser- vice commission is not in sympathy with that class of democratic newspapers and politicians who are emphatic in their de- mand that wholesale dismissals from the clerical force in the departments be made in order to “even them up” between the two parties. Mr. Roosevelt in a conversa- tion upon the subject today said that the published statement that 90 per cent or any such proportion of the clerical force in the departments in Washington is repub- lican is all nonsense. “There are in the departmental force,” he said, “about 8,600 persons all told who are subject to competitive examination. Of these about 4,000 now in office have been put in through the examinations of the commission wholly without regard to political considerations and are probably about evenly divided between the two par- ties. The remaining 4,600 represent those still in office from among the 6,000 who were originally classified in 1883 ‘by order of President Arthur and are mainly repub- licans. They also represent the 2,000 who are included in the classification of 1883 by order of President Cleveland, the great bulk of whom are democrats. Probably about the same proportion of these two classes are now in office, or, in other words, of the 4,600 persons now in the de- partmental service about three-fourths are Fepublicans and one-fourth democrats, ‘The Figures Approximately. ‘The figures are approximately these: Re- publicans, 3,450; democrats, 1,150; appoint- ments through the civil service, 4,000. In addition to this it must be remembered that there are about 1,400 excepted places, such as chiefs of division, private secre- taries and the like, and 2,000 laborers and others below the classified service, making 3,400 in all, the great majority of whom are changed with each administration, It ts fair to assume that nearly all of these places elther are or soon will be filled by lemocrats. It is probably a fact that in the entire departmental service here in Washington the parties are now substanti- ally balanced. “In the railway mail service there a1 about 7,000 places. Here also the parties are on a practical equality. More than one- half of the postal clerks have been up- pointed through civil service examination, although the railway mail service did not come under the civil service law unti! May 1, 1889, During the four years from and in- cluding 18% and 1889 something over 8 per claimed for him in various parts of the country. He has held an important posi- tion in ‘the employment of the House for some time and has the respect and friend- ship of a great many members. Take it all in all he is generally regarded as rather in the lead for the place. Very little is heard about the caniidacy of ex-Doorkeeper Hurt beyond the szate- ment that he intends to be a candida,-. If he should be a candidate it ta bCleved that he might hurt the chances of Smith, by taking some of the southern sapport which would otherwise go to Smith, but it is belleved to be too late for him to go in- to the canvass with much chance of suc- cess for himself. If he should make an earnest canvass at this time it woul! prov- cent of the republicans among the postal clerks were turned out and their places given to democrats, and on the change of the administration in 1889 and prior to the time the civil service law went into effect— about two months—nearly one-half of these democrats, some districts more and in others less, were turned out and replaced by republicans, dividing the force about equally between the two parties.” ‘Mr. Roosevelt mentioned incidentally that at the time he protested as stronyly as he could agatnst the dismissal of this large number of democratic postal clerks, al- though the reason given was that ‘they were displaced in order to reinstate ex: pefienced republican clerks who themaetv ad been dismissed by the previous admin. ably have the effect of electing Turner. Otherwise It 1s believed that Smith has de- cidedly the advantage. The Sergeant-at-Arms. ‘The contest over the place vf sergeant-nt- arms appears to depend upon the acton of the Ohio delegation. Both Johnson and Yoder are claiming a majority of chat d egation and the understanding is that the delegation will go in @ body as @ majority dec ‘s. Johnson is quite strong outside of Ohio, w. °‘aver his str gth may be in that delegation and it is bc .eved that if he gets the support of his state he will have but Uttle difficulty over the electioa. Ex-Representative Snow is said to be making a good canvass for the place, but very little is known of it here. The fact ts that, with almost no members at the capital, there {s not much basis for a judg- ment as to the situation, except throug! the information received in the corres- Pondence of the candidates who are here. However the thing ig settled, it is not believed that the contest will take up much of the time of the representatives, but will be disposed of in short order without much heat or excitement. AS a rule the members are just now more Interested In getting good committee as- signments than in anything else, and the hustling during the week besinning on Monday, when the speaker will get here, will be to secure his favor in this matter. CARELESS MANAGEMENT, Result of the Court of Inquiry Into the Case of Capt. Hutton. The army court of inquiry, of which Col. John §. Poland, seventeenth infantry, is president, appointed to investigate the ad- ministration of Capt. Jas. A. Hutton, eighth infantry, in charge of the post ex- change at Fort McKinney, Wy., has made its report to the War Department. The re- sult is shown in the following orders in the case issued by Acting Secretary Grant: ‘The proceedings and opinion of the court of inquiry in the foregoing case of Capt. James A. Hutton, eighth infantry, are, by order of the President, approved. The court having found a balance of $151.68 due the post exchange at Fort Mc- Kinney, Wy., thereafter admitted a credit of $131.73 in or of Capt. Hutton, as it was thought proper by the court to give Capt. Hutton the benefit of a doubt in con- nection with a transaction that did not ad- mit of verification. All doubts in the prem- {ses having arisen directly from the care- less methods of business followed by Capt, Hutton and the post exchange council at Fort McKinney during the time covered by this Investigation, it would seem that all doubtful questions in the case should have been determined against rather in favor of the responsible officer. ‘While It appears conclusively that there was no intention to defraud the post ex- change at Fort McKinney, Capt. Hutton should bear in mind that even a shadow of a fauit in connection with a financial trust 1s calculated to prejudice the service, and should be carefully avoided by every of- ficer of the army. The amount of the deficit as found by the court, $19.96, will be made good by Capt. Hutton to the post exchange at Fort Mc- Kinney. The court is dissolved. _———— Evidently a Submarine Volcano. ‘The Navy Department has received a re- port from Capt. E. D. Griffin of the Ameri- can ship Ivanhoe of a most curious experi- ence he had in the Pacific recently. While sailing along about 107 miles off the coast of California his ship was struck by a ter- rific earthquake, which shook him up for fully fifteen seconds and then subsided. The vibrations were fore and aft and badly scared those on board. No discolora- tion of the water followed, showing the bottom had not been stirred up and no soundings could be obtained. Curious enough, in 1881 a similar experience was encountered In the same locality by Capt. C.F, Swann of the ship City of Brooklyn, and jater Capt. Griffin felt a shock almost {identical with the one he encountered in July. Evidently there is a submarine vol- cano in the locality which Is not known to science. —— ‘The Bennington Nearly Ready for Sea. The U. S. 8. Bennington, now fitting out at the New York navy yard, will be ready for sea in about ten days. As predicted in ‘The Star, several weeks ago, the Benning- ton will’ be attached to the European squadron, which is now composed of the single ship Chicago, with Admiral Erben fn command. She will cruise principally in the vicinity of the Ottoman empire, where, it 1s said, American interests are threat- ened. The Bennington will probably re- main on the European station for a term of years, unless it shall be found necessary to transfer her to another station, of which, however, there are no present prospects. Maj. T. C. Tupper, sixth cavalry, and Capt. L. S. Ames, second infantry, have been’ retired, promoting Capt. Lebo and Lieut. Reed’ in the cavalry and Lieut. Webster in the infantry. istration. ‘The Honest Way to Act. “Nothing but harm,” he said, “can ever come from turning out one-half the people in office on the theory of equalizing the rep- resentation of the parties. The only honest way to act is when an office ig classified to treat it as entirely removed from politics. The working of the civil service law; itself, if honestly enforced, will speedily’ bring bout a state of thi where democrats and republicans altk ‘be treated wholly without regard to thelr politics. “In the classified postal and customs _ser- vice, taken as a whole, the great bulk of the people now in office ‘have been appointed through clvil service examinations, and, therefore, as a rule, without regard to po- litical consideration, although I regret to state there have been several offices among them, most notably, perhaps, the Baltimore post office, where the results have not been satisfactory. In the smaller, free-delivery Post offices which were classified at the be- ginning of this year the gregt bulk of the employes were, of course, republicans, In & certain number of cases, where the change in the postmasters tn these offices occurred prior to the holding of the civil service examination, clean ‘sweeps have been made; but now examinations have been held and the offices placed fully under the civil service law and rules. “In a very short time,” continued Mr. Roosevelt, “the natural working of the civii service law will make the force in these offices wholly non-partisan. The commis- sion is rigidly enforcing the rules in these new offices, and it gives me great pleasure to say that it 1s receiving the cordial sup- port of Postmaster General Bissell, First Assistant Postmaster General Jones and the other assistants. THE AUSTRIAN HEIR APPARENT. He Will Visit the Fair, but Will Travel Incognito. Another royal visitor is on his way to the United States to see the world’s fair. This is his imperial highness, the Arch- duke Franz Alexander of Austria, the heir presumptive to the throne of Austria and Hungary. The news of his visit came to Washington today in the form of a pri- vate telegram from Vancouver, B. C., say- ing that preparations are being made there for the réception of the grand duke and party, who are now making @ tour of the world and who are expected to reach that port early in September. ‘The grand duke is traveling incognito and therefore will not be received in an official capacity. He will make an extensive tour of the United States, beginning with a shooting expedi- tion In the valley of the Yellowstone, after which he will visit San Francisco, Chi- cago, Washington and New York and other places of note on the route. It is not ex- ted that the government will take of- cial cognizance of the presence of the distinguished foreigner in view of the fact that he will be here in a private capacity. es A Big Requisition for Pensions. ‘The acting secretary of the interior to- day drew his requisitions on the Treasury Department for $13,500,000 to pay the pen- sions in the second group of agencies due August 4, to be distributed as follows: To- ka, Kan., $3,600,000; Philadelphia, $1,900,- New York, $1,700.00; Knoxville, Tenn., $1,800,000; Louisville, Ky., $1,200,000; ‘Indian~ apolis, $2,700,000. _ Suess No Outside Typewriters to Be Allowed. One outcome of the recent patent office investigation is the change in a certain practice which has existed there for some time. Hereafter no outside typewriters will be permitted to operate in the office. It has been customary for attorneys who were in a great hurry for copies of papers, which the regular force of the office could not furnish in time, to bring in their own clerks to make copies, paying the office the same rate as if the work were done by the office. This was simply to save time and was tolerated as a convenience to at- torneys. Commissioner Seymour has issued orders, however, that this is no longer to be per- mitted. "He takes this action in the line of protecting the privacy of papers on file in the secret archives of the office, so that there will be no possible opportunity for any outsider to get at these papers. The Philadelphia Mint Site. Secretary Carlisle has under consideration the selection of a site for the Philadelphia mint. The matter has not as yet been decided, but Mr. Carlisle intends to make jolce before the convenini gres: fis'in not @ little disappointed that ail the sites offered are valu at a figure which is greatly in excess of the assessed pri _s ‘ price of Resignations Called For. Secretary Carlisle has called for the res- ignations of the following collectors of in- ternal revenue: John O. Cravens, sixth indiang; Frank E. Rocutt, Massachusetts; McCall, sixth Virginia. THE SILVER MEN. Gen. Warner Outlines What the Convention Will Do. AN ADDRESS 70 THE COUNTRY. ee The President of the Bimetallic League on the Situation. ———_+_— SENATORSTEWART’S REMARKS Gen. A. J. Warner, president of the Amer- ican Bimetallic League, has returned from Chicago and was at silver headquarters this afternoon. To a Star reporter, who asked him what the silver convention would @o and what was expected to be accom- plished by it, he sald: “The convention will meet at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday next in the Methodist Church, Methodist Church block, at the corner of Washington and Clarke streets, Chicago. I shall call the convention to order and make a brief address. The day sessions will be held in the church. Tuesday evening a mass meeting will be held at Central Music Hall, and on Wed- nesday evening a monster open air meet- ing will be held on the lake front. This is at the request of labor organisations. Among the speakers will be Senators Jones and Stewart of Nevada, Senators Teller and Wolcott of Colorado, Congressmen Bryan of Nebraska, Pattison of Colorado, Bland of Missourl, and Newlands of Nevada. Ex- actly how many delegates will be present I can not now state. A large number of dele- gates have been appointed from various states and by various bimetallic organiza- tions. One hundred will come from Colo- rado. All the silver states will be strongly represented and the west and the south will be there in force.” What the Convention Wil Do. “What business will the convention trans- act?” auked the reporter. “The time of the convention will be de- voted to the discussion of the situation and the appointment of a committee to pare resolutions and an address to Con- gress and the people of the country. Meas- Uures to arouse the country to a sense of the dangers threatened by the single gold sta’ ill be discussed. ‘I'he cetailn of the work have not been decided on and will not be till we get together in Chicago.” How does the land lay?” continued The Star ma: ¢ “Thing are not improving,” said Gen. ‘Warner, he depression is world-wide. It is felt almost as seriously in London, Ber- lin and Vienna as in this country. In Aus- tralia It is far worse. 1 am just in receipt of a letter from a distinguished English- man, who writes: ‘It really looks as if the accumulation of former generations is be- ing dissipated. Even the great Lonion houses are in difficulty because of the seces- sion movement in Brazil. Should this go forward they would never be able to pay their debts in gold. This crisis is making legions of silver men among us. The Situation. “It is an object lesson,” continued the general, “not only for this country, but for the world. It is the beginning of the shrinkage in values which must take place in order to come down to a purely gold basis. If the wealth of this country 13 to be measured in gold, it will measure much less than most people have any idea. The shrinkage in stocks is reported to have ul- re been one thousand millions and the shrinkage in real estate as much more; ut this is but the beginning of what must take place if we are to Ro ip *he goul wand. ard. At present the gol the country ts supplemented by six hundred millions of silver, which is full lgal tender and money of final redemption. It will he impossible to maintain indefinitely a silver currency when the bullion value of it might be as low as % or 40 cents, The twelve millions of legal tender silver in Europe must all be withdrawa if the gold staadant is evers- where to prevail. The first step would be to reduce this currency to subsidizry mon- ey, making it redeemable in gold. There may be in the United States four hundred or four hundred and fifty millions in gold. To make all silver and paper money re- deemable in gold, it ought to be apparent to everybody that this volume of silver and paper money and other, forms of credit must be largely cut down before converti- bility into gold alone can de maintained, and as the volume of credit and crelit money is reduced prices must come down, with consequences to business appalling to contemplate. What would be true of the United States would also be true of those ntries where silver is full Je- ' Senator Stewart's Interview. “What do you think, general, of the tn- terview with Senator Stewart, in which he is reported as having said that he believed ti Searmen iow Weyl be led?” ‘I don leve,” said We 4 “that ‘Senator. Stewart meant’ that ‘the Sherman law would be repealed without a substitute. Nobody believes now that the present situation ls due to the Sherman Ww. Nobody believes that the ‘present trouble comes from the addition to the country’s exchange medium of three or four mitiions of dollars per month. The trouble comes not from too much standard money but from too Mttle. The only fitting answer that can be made to a man who belleves that the present financial trouble comes from the Sherman law is that he is a fool.” Here Gen. Warner vlenched his fist and struck the table as though he meant business. THE BALANCE OF TRADK, It ts Greater on Account of Estimates Made in Depreciated Currency. It has been determined that the rule of the Treasury Department requiring that consular currency certificates shall accom- pany all invoices from countries where there ts a depreciated currency must again be put in force. Consular currency certifi- cates are required only on goods assessed ad valorem, while articles admitted duty free, or subject to a specific duty, are not accompanied by any statement showing their true value. ‘This action was taken owing to the dis- covery of a large discrepancy in the sta- tistics of the Treasury Department showing the balance of trade of the United States to foreign countries. About six weeks ago the bureau of statistics discovered that ow- ing to the depreciated currency of a num- ber of countries, its valuation of articles imported free or assessed specifically did not represent the true value of these goods in the currency of the United States, and an investigation showed that the figures of the balance of trade were at least $3,- 090,000 out of the way, with a prospect that they would be erroneous to the extent of $40,000.00, ‘This means that the adverse balance reported against the United States last year of $93,000,000 was really about ee. PLAYING TRICKS ON UNCLE SAM. A Cormmission Which, if Sent Out, Must Have Been Forged. ‘Where is the ghost? ‘What disembodied spirit has been play- ing tricks on Uncle Sam? The Interior De- partment 1s in a state of mystification and has cold chills running down its back. Somebody is hoaxing or else there is an able-bodied ghost roaming around the de- partment making out papers and forging signatures. A press dispatch from Spokane, Wash., says that a commission has been received there for Mr. Wm. Langford as receiver of the Waterville land office, which has oceasioned much surprise from the fact that Mr. Langford has been dead for three ™Qow comes the Interior ent and 0) Departm declares that no commission has been sent to Mr. Langford or any one else for that office; that there 1s no record of such a thing’ in the department. No bond has been filed, and that is a necessary prelim- inary to recelving a commission. The de- partment cannot account for the state ment that @ commission has been received. THE FORD'S THEATER CASE, What May Be Done in the Oourt Tomorrow. Legal Questions Which May Arise at the Trial—Settlement of = Long- Pending Question Expected. ‘As stated in The Star last Monday the four persons indicted for manslaughter in causing the death of Frederick B. Loftus, one of the victims of the Ford's Theater building disaster, on the 9th of last month, Col. Fred. C. Ainsworth, George W. Dant, Wm. E. Covert and Francis Sasse, will be arraigned tomorrow morning and called upon to say whether they are guilty or not guilty of the offense charged. The ar- raignment of the accused parties will take place before Judge Cole in Criminal Court, No. 2. As heretofore explained in The Star, the indicted persons may plead not guilty, with leave to withdraw that plea later on for the purpose of demurring to the indict- ment or moving to quash. The parties may, however, demur to the indictment or move to quash it before pleading to it tomorrow morning, although it is gener- ally thought that pleas of not guilty will then be made and the indictment attacked by demurrer or motion to quash later on. ‘The Question of Challenges. ‘The trial of the accused will, it is expect- ed, take place some time next October or November, and before Judge McComas, though it may take place before Judge Cole. ‘At the trial iis ‘sald, that the much-mooted juestion of whether manslaughter is a felony or misdemeanor will rise. ‘The question will arise, it is said, in the selec- tion of the jury. The District Court in General Term decided in the Dunn case, March 3, 188, that in cases of felony not capital the defendant is entitled to ten per- emptory. challenges and the prosecution three. Section 819 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, upon which the decis- ion of the court was based, is to the further effect that in all other cases, that is, “2s tal felonies and ihcge not punishable by death, the defendané and the government shall each be entitied to three peremptory | challenges. Hence, the question of whether manslaughter is or is not a felony will be- come a very important ter to Messrs. ‘Ainsworth, Dant, Covert and Sasse. For if the offense with which they are charged a felony they will be entitled to ten per emptory challenges in the selection of the | jury, and if it should be held that the of- | ense is not a felony they will be entitled | to but three challenges. It is | said that the question has never been fully determined in the local courts, and that no other question has ever given rise to such a wide difference of opinion among the mem- | bers of the District bar. The decision of the court in the matter will therefore be of unusual interest. ————— THE ENGINEER CONGRESS. Oficers Detailed Will Have Their Expenses | Paid by the Government. The orders of Secretary Lamont, issued £ few days ago, in regard to the mileage of officers going to the engineering con- gress at Chicago seem to have been mis- | understood. Acting on the advize of th accounting officers of the treasury he de- cided that such expenses could not be paid out of the regular military appropriations, | but since then he has found that such ex- | penses can properly be met out of the! War Department allotment of the appro- | priation for the governmental exhibit at | the world’s fair. Accordingly he has au- thorized five officers of the engineer corps to attend the congress, and their travel- | ing expenses are to be paid out of the world’s fair appropriation.

First Attempt to Electrocute a Murderer Fails. BREAKING OF THE DEATH MACHINE Serious Hitch inthe Taylor Execution HE IS FINALLY KILLED. EXECUTED AT AUBURN. William G. Taylor Pays the Penalty of Murder. AUBURN, N. ¥., July 27—An attempt was made this morning to electrocute Wm. G. Taylor for murder. The current was turned, but the foot rest of the chair broke and the dynamo gave out, so that a second current could not be applied. He was not dead from the first contact, and soon began breathing heavily. He was placed on a cot and conveyed back to his corridor, where he continued breathing and groaning, with pulse growing stronger. It is now thought that power will have to be obtained from the city’s electric plant, and Taylor will have to be replaced in the chair and electrocuted to the death. Phy- sicians say he was unconscious after the first contact of over 1,700 volts. His condi- tion at present js analagous to that of a apopiex man stricken with a Morphine has just been administered. Witnesses are not permitted to leave the prison, Second Attempt Succeeds. Later.—Taylor was carried again to the chair at 1:56 and a current from a city €lec- tric light dynamo was passed through his body. ‘The second attempt proved successful.

When Warden Stout ‘Visited him last night he found him ih a seemingly happy frame of mind. He gave him three cigars and then effered two to Johason, who oc- cell, and who is also awaiting electrocution for the murder of two convicts. Johnson declined. as he did not smoke, and the warden asked Taylor if he could get away with the whole lot. He replied with a smile that it depended upon how much time he wouid give him to ve. His last sleep on earth seemed tranquil and undisturbed, and he awoke refreshed the usual hour this morning. Taylor was kept in ignorance of his doomsday until 7:30 o'clock this morning, when the Warden read the death warrant to hit. When he had finished he remarked: “I'l: call for you at about 11:30." Taylor replied cheerfully, “You'll find me ready.” Taylor ate a hearty breakfast of steak and potatoes, eggs, coffee and toast soon after he had been bathed and shaved, and declared that he was feeling first rate. The priests were then admitted and he was left alone with his confessors. The witnesses were asked to report at the warden’s office at 12 o'clock noon, and the following re- Dr, ‘Dwight R.

The method used was horrible and most revolting. A partly filled can of powder py his side and the torn and mangled face in- dicated that the suicide had filled his mouth with powder and then, probably with a lighted match, had caused it to explode. ‘The body was found by the police shordy before 7 o'clock this morning, the head hav- ing the appearance of being blown all to pieces. The nose was wholly gone and the face near the mouth was tora and lacer- ated. In the pocket of the coat the officers found the following note: “Do not send my body home as my wife has no money to bury it Don t bury me in a pauper's grave.

BLOWN TO SHREDS, Terrific Explosion of Nitro-Glycerine Western Pennsylvania. PITTSBURG, Pa. July 2%—Zarly this morning M. 8. VanBuren and two brothers went to their magazine near Samples sta- tion on the Pittsburg and Western railway to get a load of nitro-glycerine for the pur pose of shooting an oil well. The danger- ous fluid was being transferred to a wagon to which three horses were attached. A considerable quantity had been placed on the wagon, when, in some manner which will probably never be explained, the gly- cerine exploded. The terrific concussion shook the sur- rounding buildings violently. People near —— were thrown about in every di- rection. The only portion of M.S. VanBuren's body yet found is part of a leg Small shreds of flesh were scattered all about. The three horses were also vlowa to frag- ments, while only a few small pieces of the wagon remain. A hole was blown into the ground large enough for a cellar. Several le were injured by the con- cussion and flying debris, but they will re- cover. VanBuren was twenty-two years oid and unmarried. The escape of his brothers who were near by is mirsculous. ————, TICKNOR & CO.
