Harrison. ~ THE VICTIM OF A CRANK'S REVOLVER. He Claims That He Had Been Promised an Office. HIS DEED WAS IN REVENGE. aces Another crank has done his deadiy work, and Carter H. Harrison, five times mayor of Chicago and one of the best-known men in the west, lies dead in his home, 231 South Ashland bouleVurd in that city. © He was shot and almost instantly killed Saturday evening in the front hallway of his residence by Eugene Patrick Prender- gast. The shooting took piace at ten minutes past 8 o'clock, and it was seventeen minutes afterward that the mayor breathed his last, surrounded by the members of his family. It was practically the eve of the mayor's wedding, for he was to have left on Novem- ber 5, The ceremony which would have united him to Miss Annie Howard was to have taken place early next month at the house of the bride in New Orleans. Various motives are ascribed for the crime. One is that the mayor had prom- ised to give Prendergast an office for po- litical services. Another is that the mayor had neglected some advice given by Pren- dergast regarding the elevation of the rail- road tracks in the city. The only person in the house at the time beside Mr. Harrison was his son, Wiliam Preston Harrison, twenty-five years of age, and the servants. Shortly before 8 o'clock the door bell rang, and when Mary Hansen, the domestic, opened the door she was con- fronted by a man about five feet five inches, smooth shaven, his rather clean-cut fea- tures lit up by a pair of dark eyes. “Is Mr. Harrison in?” asked the man in & pleasant voice. “Yes, ‘sir,” responded the girl, as ‘she threw the door wider open to permit his en- trahce. “ “] would like to see him, plea¥e,” sald the man, as he’walked toward the back end of the hall. Mayor Harrison hed just returned to his home on Ashland boulevard from the world’s fair, where his last public function was to make a speech of welcome to the mayors of some fifty cities gathered to- gether in honor of the reunion of Ameri- can cities, and to which Mayor Stuart of Philadelphia made the response. He had just finished dinner, and was still sitting leisurely in his own dining room, when a servant announced that a gentle- man wished to see him. The mayor had for years made it a rule of his political career to see everybody who asked for him, and his visitors seemed at times to be almost endless in number and to come at all hours of the day and night. The maid thought nothing of the visitor, merely passing in the back hallway to tell the mayor a man wanted to see him. The mayor then went into the dining room a moment and passed from there into the hall. The dining room is on the south side of the house, the latter having a frontage to the east, and is just behind the mayor's brary, which looks out upon Ashland boulevard. Seeing who !t was,’ the mayor said shortly, ‘Well, my man, what ts it?’ “You have not kept your promise to me,"” replied the man, “and I don’t like that way of doing.” ‘The mayor looked surprised. It is not known whether he recognized the man, but it Is believed that he did. He had a. won- derful memory, and knew everybody in Chicago who had any connection with poli- tics. He replied: “My man, T have not broken my promise to you. There is nothing for which I owe you satisfaction.” ‘The Assassination. Prendergast, his face pale in the gas light, lifted a revolver, word, sent a bullet crashing into the body of his host. The mayor, with a iow cry, started back, realizing instantly that he had a murderer, and most terrible of all, a frenzied murderer, to deal with. He moved half backward, seeking to retreat, and yet unable to turn full uround. The assassin, quick as lightning, pulled twice again and drove two more bullets into the form of the mayor. At this the mayor reeled and feil heavily | his head within the dining | to the floor, room and his feet in the hall. Blood was pouring from the wounds in the breast, abdomen and hand, and his face was ghast- ly pale. A He did not say a word, but lay as though dead. Hearing the shots, Preston Harri- gon, the second son of ‘the mayor, was up Stairs in his father’s study, came running down, and the butler also rushed into the hall. Prendergast still had the weapon in his hand, and as young Harri- son advanced upon him fired one shot. The bullet went wide of the mark, and imbed- ded itself in the wall in the rear of the hallway. Either young Harrison or the butler, it cannot be decided which, fired at the ‘ase sassin, who retreated toward the open front ‘door and sprang down the front steps. The butler foliowed, but Prender- gast soon escaped in the darkness. There was a burglar alarm in the hall, and young Harrison pulled It, and before he reached his father's side a patrol wagon filled with pfficers from Lake street station, about a third of a’ mile distant, was dash- ing towarl the mayor's home. By the time the officers arrived all trace of the EDUCATIONAL. UCL Ur Wa Bonu Os ST, GEORGE'S HALL, FOR BOYS, ST. GEORGE'S, Md., Prof. J. Co RINEAR, 4.

The Dying Mayor. Mr. W. J. Chalmers, a wealthy iron mer- chant who lives in Ashland boulevard, just opposite the mayor’s, heard the shots, be- ing at the time just outside his gate, and ran into Mr. Harrison’s residence. There he found the mayor lying, half through the doorway leading from the hallway to the dining room, with young Mr. Harrison,Miss Sophie Harrison, the mayor’s unmarried daughter, the butler, and three servants around him. Ss you hurt?” asked Mr. Chalmers, he and the son of the dying man strove raise him. “I've got my death, Chalmers,” responded the mayor. Noticing a spot of blood on the mayor's waistcoat, Mr. Chalmers said: “I guess ne "m shot in the heart, and I’m a dead man,” was the only reply. A moment later he said, with a voice which was rapidly losing strength: “Unbutton my vest, Chal- mers. There's where the trouble is.” By this time the stricken man had been borne to a couch in an adjoining room, and -quickly as he spoke, Mr. Chalmers gently opened his waistcoat. The front of his shirt was soaked in blood, which flowed from two holes, one just above the heart, the other in the abdomen. “It's through the heart,” said the mayor again, his voice now scarcely above a whisper, The mayor lay as though dead, his lips ashen, eyes closed and heart beating very faintly. At first no one seemed to know what to do, being paralyzed by the shock of the tragedy. Mr. Chalmers ordered the butler to go for a physician. The butler obeyed with all speed possible, and, taking off his coat, Mr. Chalmers put it tenderly under the head of the dying man. Just then Patrolman John D. Hurley of the Lake street station, who walking his post in the neighborhood, : it being his duty to keep near the mayor’ house at all times, came in. As Mr. Chal. mers put his coat under the mayor’s head the latter opened his eyes. ju are not badly hurt, Mr. Harrison,” said Mr. Chalmers, cheerily. “The doctors will soon pull you through all right.” With an effort the mayor, who was apparently free from all pain, said, “I am shot and am going to die; I can’t live. Where is Annie?” (his fiancee.) As the mayor spoke his eyes closed again and he seemed to gasp for breath. Patrol- man Hurley, who was a protege of the mayor, stooped down and . Harrisoi raised the dying man’s head. Mr. yn was growing weaker and it became apparent even to those whose eyes were not accustomed to the sight of death that his end was near. In the meantime the butler had returned to the house with Dr. N. Frost and Dr. G. F. Washburne, both of whom live near the mayor's residence. Neither attempted an examination of Mr. Harrison, as they saw it was only a ques- tion of a few moments before death would ensue. Without manifesting any further signs of consciousness, and being deaf to the appeals of his weeping daughter, who frantically called upon him to recognize her, the mayor’s pale face grew ashen, t! breath came thick and short for a few mo- ments, and then with a heavy sigh death came. At no time had the mayor seemed to be in pain, and he died as quietly and easily as though falling asleep. Every bullet had hit the mark. One ball shattered Mr. Harrison's left hand, another passed into the lower right side of the abdo- men, making a wound that would have been mortal within a few days, the third bullet entered the chest slightly above the heart. This bullet was the immediate cause of death. s The Assaas! About twenty-five minutes after the shooting Frank McDonald was standing in the office of the Desplaines Street station. Every available officer had already been hurried out to work on the case. Sergeant McDonald, who had just come in from other work, was preparing to follow. The door was pushed gently open and in walked a small, smooth-shaven man, poorly dressed, and carrying a revolver in his hand. He shook like a man with the palsy, his face was white and drawn, great drops of perspiration chased each other down hi: face and his tottering limbs seemed scarce- ly able to hold him upright. He walked up to McDonald, who is powerful fellow, six feet tal him straight in the eyes said “You did it sked McDonald. “Yes, I did “Did what?” said the officer as he laid one hand on the fellow’s shoulder, and with the other took the revolver. “I shot Mayo: Harrison; that’s what 1 shot him with,” was the reply, as he made “What made you do it?” asked McDonald. “He said he would make me corporation counsel and he did not do it. That's what I shot him for.” That was all there was about it. Nothing dramatic, no bravado, he spoke of his crime as though it was nothing out of the ordi- nary and a matter entirely to be expected. He was trembling so that he could scarcely. stand and the officer led him to a chair and asked a few more questions, to which Pren- dergast had but one reply. “He sald he would make mie corporation counsel. He did not and I shot him. I meant to shoot him and I went there to do it.” He said that after leaving the Harrison | house he had taken a street car and started toward Desplaines street station, with the object of giving himself up. “The car did not go very fast,” he said, “or I would have been here sooner.’ As the station where he gave himself up is just four blocks over one mile from the Harrison residence, he scarcely had time to do otherwise than as he said. “What's your name?” demanded the sergeant. — Patrick Prendergast,” was the eply. “What's your business?” “I'm a newspaper carrier.’ ‘Then the sergeant noticed that the man was erratic in his movements and had a wild gieam in his eyes. He did not seem to be at all impressed with the gravity of his crime and was apparently indifferent | to the enormity of his offense. “You'll swing for this,” said McDonald, as he hurried the fellow to the door leading ; down to the cells in the basement. “I don’t care, muttered Prendergast. “He would not keep his word with me.” As soon as the murderer was safely lock- ed up McDonald telephoned to the central station, and in a few moments Inspector Shea, head of the detective department, and several detectives from the central statfon arrived at the Desplaines street station. Inspector Shea at once went downstairs and hed a talk with Prendergast, who by this time was so nervous and excited th: j {ke could. scarcely speak coherently. He ‘and told the story of the shoot ver and over again, always wind- ing Up ith’ the refrain, “ : me office he promised. An Angry Crowd. behind the murderer when excited crowds began gathering about the Desplaines street station. Patrol wagons rattled up to the place, their bells clanging as the officers jumped from their seats and rushed into | the station. Cabs and carriages came by the score, and their occupants crowded ani pushed through the crowds into the office. Personal friends of the dead mayor, city | officials and the curious crowded over and against each other in a wild endeavor to learn if the story of the shooting were true. An_ immense throng gathered on the side- walks and in the streets about the place. Laboring men going to their homes swung off the street cars as they reached the crowd and when the cause of the disturb- |ance became known added their voices to | the subdued threats of vengeance, for Mr. Harrison was popular with the masses, The streets were soon filled for blocks and the officers, as they looked out of the station windows upon the surging sea of | angry faces, became alarmed for the safety of their prisoner. A hasty conference of the officers was held and it was decided to remove Prender- gast to the central station in the City Hall. The trembling, pale-faced prisoner was led, between stalwart officers, to a rear door and hurried away in the darkness. a motion with his hand toward the revolver. | ‘The cell door had hardly clanged skut | The news of the mayor's assassination was not known in the city until a consider- able time after its occurrence, and at first it_was received with incredulity. Few people were able to ascertain the cause of the hurried and unusual concourse of officers. Vast crowds, including many women, as- sembled in the streets and discussed it. Carter Harrison was by far the best known man in Chicago. He has been especially conspicuous this year through the world’s fair. He had a hold upon the voting public which no power in Chicago could shake. Mr. Harrison’s Career. Carter Henry Harrison was born in Fay- ette county, Ky., February 2%, 18%. Carter H. Harrison, the murdered man’s great- grandfather, was a brother of Benjamin Harrison, the signer of the Declaration of Independence, and father of President Will- iam Henry Harrison. Early intermarriages linked the Harrtson family with the Ran- dolphs, Cabelis and Carters of Virginia. Through the former, Thomas Jefferson and John Randolph were near of kin; through the latter, the Reeves of Virginia, and the Breckinridges of Kentucky. Robert Carter Harrison, the grandfather of the mayor, settled in Kentucky in 1812. His father and grandfather were graduates of William and Mary College. When he was eight years old Carter Har- rison’s father died, leaving his family in comfortable circumstances. When he was fifteen Carter was placed under the tuition of Dr. Lewis Marshall, brother of the chief justice and father of the famous Kentuck- jan orator, Thomas T. Marshall. In 184 he was graduated from Yale College. He then studied law, but did not practice. In 183 Mr. Harrison entered the Tran- sylvania Law School, at Lexington, and finished the course in 1855. In the latter year he went to Chicago. His political life began 1871, when he was elected county commissioner. In 1872 he was nominated by the democrats for Congress, but was de- feated. He reduced the republican” major- ity so greatly, however, that he was again placed in the field, and elected by a ma- jority of eight votes. In 1879 Mr..Harrison’s name was first suggested for the mayoralty, and in April following he was elected to the office by a majority of over 5,000, although the city had gone republican the fall before by a majority of 7,800. In 1881 he was re-elected, by a majority of 8,000, although the city went republican the fall before by 4,000. In 1883 Mr. Harrison was re-elected by an in- creased majority. In the fall of 1884 he was a candidate for governor of the state of Illinois, but was defeated by Gov. Ogies- by. Mr. Harrison, however, succeeded in Hage the former majority of 4,000 to 14,500, In the spring of 188 he was re-elected mayor of 5 in 1893, notwith- standing the fact that he was generally held responsible for the democratic defeat of 1891, he received the regular nomination of that party for mayor after a memorable fight, and was elected over S. W. Aller- ton. At the time of his assassination he was engaged to be to Miss Annie How- ard, the been set for No- vember 14, Miss Howard is the youngest of the four children of the late Charles Howard of New Orleans, and only daughter. The Coroner's Inquest. History of the shooting retold and state- ments of physicians occupied the atten- tion of the coroner’s jury at the Harrison residence for an hour yesterday morning. Exceptinga technical description of the wounds, little was added to the informa- tion already at the disposal of the officers of the law. The verdict recommended that Prendergast be held for the murder until discharged by due process of law. The body. lay in an upper room and the jurers moved upstairs to view it before hearing the testimony. The sesston was transferred for further proceedings to the rior on the main floor: The jurors, witnesses and a few spectators gathered around a large table in the center. Prendergast sat or stood in a corner with =e Lieut. Haas between him and the William Preston Harrison, son of the mayor, described briefly his knowledge of the tragic affair. He said that Mayor Har- rison was a native .of Lexington, Ky. “The last time I saw him alive,” contin- ued the witness, in reply to an invitation to recount the affair, “was about 7:45 o’clock last night. Apout 8:02 o'clock I found him lying on the floor, having been shot. I heard shots fired, but was in an upper room and did not see any one shoot- ing. I hurried down to my father and spoke to him and asked him what the mat- mer was. He said he was shot and dying. ‘Get Annie over at once,’ was his only re- ply. He Isid on the floor where I found him about twenty minutes, and then died.” John Wheeler, a police officer, who brought Prendergast from the Desplaines station, was questioned about what words had passed between him and his prisoner. His testimony was short and added little to previous informatio: “What did he say?” asked the coroner. “I asked him,” replied the officer, “why he had shot Carter Harrison. He said it was because the mayor would not appoint him corporation counsel.” Interest centered about the story told by Mary Hansen, the domestic who gdmit- ted Prendergast. She told of her position in the household, saying she had been em- ployed as second girl. “Early last evening,” she continued, “there was a ring at the door bell. I went to the door and found a man I did not know. That was about 7 o'clock. I asked the man what he wanted and he said he wanted to see Mayor Harrison. I told him Mr. Harrison was eating dinner and asked him to call again. About 7:45 he came back, and I went to the door and let him in. Mr. Harrison was sitting in the second room to the front. I told him there was a man in the hall who wanted to see him, and I left the man in the hall and went to the kitchen. Just as I got into the kitchen I heard several shots fired and then I ran out from the kitchen to where I had left Mr. Harrison and the man. I saw the unknown man running out of the door. Mr. Harriso: into the second room and out to the hall, where he fell.” “Do you see the man who calied?” asked Deputy Kelly. The witness hesitated and the coroner was more specific. “Is that the man?” he asked, pointing to Prendergast. Still the witness was not sure, but Pren- dergast helped .her out with an exclama- tion, “Yes,” I saw you last night,” he volun- teered. He was told to put on his hat and face the witness. “Yes,” she answered, “that is the man I left standing with Mr. Harrison and that is the man who did the shooting.” ‘After he ran awa: continued the wit- ness, “they went for doctors, who came right away. Mr. Harrison died about twenty minutes after the shooting. When I saw him he was bleedin, P. Eliason Rosburg, the mayor's coach- man, who was first in pursuit of the assas- sin, identified Prendergast. Vhen I heard several shots fired, ran out and saw with a revolver in his hand.’ ‘Do you see him now?” he was asked. “That_is the man.” he answered, point- ing to Prendergast. “He was pointing his revolver at some object in the second room of the house, and as I opened the door to go in he pointed it at me and fired. But I shut the door before he could take aim at me, and ran back to the barn to get my re- volver so that I could go to catch the man. Then I ran around to the front to see if I could find him, but I could not see him. I saw one man, but it was not the one I saw in the house. When I went back to the house I saw Mr. Harrison lying on the floor attended by doctors. He died about twenty minutes afterward. I was eating supper in m staggered of the door | the back of the house when the shooting began.” Other witnesses examined were officers of the Desplaines street station. F. A McDonald, patrol sergeant, identified th: revolver he had taken from Prendergast. O. Z. Barber, desk sergeant at Desplaines street station, saw Prendergast surreader to McDonald, and heard him sa: had shot Carter Harrison because mayor, he said, had broken faith with him in failing to appoint him corporation coun- sel. According to the post mortem examina- tion, results of which were submitted t: the jury, five bullets wounds made by four bullets were found in the mayor's body Three balls remained in the body.

The first entry on the coroner's book yes- terday morning was the official record of the mayor's death. It read: “Sunday, Octo- H.

A parallel has been drawn between the assassination of President Garfield by Gui- teau and the present murder. Guiteau was @ disappointed office-seeker, who had some qualifications and some claims to office. Prendergast had studied and read econome theories until his mind gave way. He imagined that he was a reformer. He had schemes for the betterment of all mankind. He was especially interested in the welfare of Chicago, and imagined that he alone could reform the abuses from which the city is suffering. He was especially Miter in his denunciation of the railroad eTaie crossings, which are responsibl many deaths every year, and the. ting Sf fixed in his mind that if he were made ges ge —— he couii solve the prob- lem of elevati all the railroad within the city limits. ener ing over this subject brea the delusion that the mayor nad promised him the office.

Finally he de- termined that the mayor was acting in bud faith with him. This idea xrew upon him. He thought of it day and night. His dis- eased brain was incapable of entertaining any other idea.

He bought a cheap, secoad-hand revolver, put it in his pocket and called at the may- or’s residence. Mr. son, accustomed be ene ies of all sorts of cranks, treat- lemand lightly. Prendergast killed him. That is the story. ‘The Question of Succession. Opinions in Chicago vary as to the suc- cession to the mayoralty made vacant by the assassination of Mayor Harrison. Corporation Counsel Kraus says that pending the election of a new mayor, the council would, in his opinion, be empower- ed to select a mayor pro tem. “I should not like to give a positive opinion,” Mr. Kraus says, “without the statutes before me. I remember of looking up the matter years ago, and am quite confident that I read the laws to mean that the council would select the mayor pro tem. Alderman Madden, chairman of the finance committee of the city council, sars: “The city statutes are rather vague in reference to an emergency of this kind. The unex>ired term of Mayor Harrison 1s more than one year, hence a special elec- tion will have to he called and it will be settled by the people.” A. S. Trude, eminent an authority on local municipal law, say. hicago has no mayor. No one can succeed Mr, Harrison. There is “an absolute silence ia the laws concerning, this point.

Gen, Margallo Killed and His Troops Beaten at Melilla. against the Riffians. Seventy’ of his mea were killed and 122 others were wounded. The sortie was made after the Riffians had driven back to the citadel the Span- iards who had been building a redoubt near Fort Cabrerizas. The tribesmen, although under a heavy artillery fire from the Span- ish forts, did not retire after abandoning the pursuit of the Spanish troops. Eventu- ally they occupied the trenehes which had been dug near Fort Cabrerizas to protect the Spanish soldiers at their work. To dislodge them Margallo led out 2,000 infantry from the fort. The Riffians in the trenches held them in check until rein- forcements 6,000 strong were brought up from the majn body about a mile back in the hills. The tribesmen then had some 11,- 0 warriors. They stretched out their line apparently for the purpose of surrounding Margallo, and one time the fighting extend- ed along a three-mile front. to break the center of their line, and charg- ed with half his men, but was repulsed with heavy losses.

The official dispatches which have been made public are so meager that the people believe the worst has not been told.
