Franch, the Barcelona Bomb Thrower, Garroted. HIS LAST WORDS AN ANARCHIST SONG Scoffed at Religion and Scorned the Priests. THE LYCEO THEATER AFFAIR eek EG ea ees BARCELONA, Spain, November, 2 Jose Salvador Franch, one of the most des- perate of all anarchists, the man who threw the dynamite bomb at the Liceo Theater, this city, on November 1, 1893, killing twenty persons and wounding fifty others, was executed this morning by the garrote. Franch displayed the utmost bravado, shouted “Down with religion,” and died al- most with the words of un anarchist song upon his lips. Franch, who spent the last twenty-four hours of his life in the black-draped chap- el of the prison, according to the Spanis' custom, only slept about an hour during the night. The wife and little daughter of the condemned man, contrary to gen- eral expectation, were admitted to see him in the chapel. But their tenderness and sympathy were utterly thrown away upon the anarchist, who also remained obdurate to the admin- istrations of the priests who kept him company in the chapel. He scoffed at their supplications to prepare himself for death and laughed derisively at their refer- ences to a future life. ‘The anarchist’s wife made a last effort to soften his heart, but he roughly told her to go away and she tearfully with- drew, after kissing him. After his wife had left the chapel,Franch continued to treat the priests with con- tempt, saying among other things: “I fooled you nicely. Hypocrisy is a new weapon which I have shown anarchists how to use. The Executioners Appear. At 8 am. the judge, with the court clerks and other officials, entered the chapel and told Franch to prepare for G@eath. The advent of these officials was soon followed by the appearance of the executioners, who, as they began to dress the prisoner for the scaffold, were con- tinually insulted by the desperate man. Franch shrieked: “bo your miserable work. You are only the tools of the bour- geolsie.”” The procession to the place of execu- tion was then formed. Franch was sur- rounded by soldiers and was accompa- nied by numbers of members of the s0- clety known as the Brothers of the Good Death. Franch walked trembling to the scaffold, which was erected in the large court yard of the prison. A number of spectators were admitted to this inclosure end large numbers of troops were present in order to keep the spectators at a prop- er distance from the scaffold. A double ne of soldiers and mounted gendarmes performed this duty. As the anarchist mounted the steps lead- upon which was the garrote he shouted: “Down with all re- ligions. Vive l'anarchie.” The executioners then seized him, and as he struggled and cried, they forced him in- to the chair, at the back of which was the garrote. Franch was then strapped down to the seat, and as this work was being performed he renewed his anarchist cries a4] tried to sing an anarchist hymn. Quick Work. But his false courage was evidently fast giving way, for he stopped in the midst of his death song to implore his executioners to hurry their final preparations for death. The trembling prisoner's neck was then en- circled by the fatal collar, the serew was swiftly applied and death was almost in- stantaneous. The whole affair reflected great credit upon the executioners, for only about a minute and a half elapsed from the time Franch mounted the platform until he was pronounced dead. The military band which was In attend- ance then played and the executioners moved away from the platform. ‘The body of Franch, howeyer, with the collar of the garrote around his’ neck, will remain exposed until sundown, and will be viewed by large crowds of people, for the inhabitants cf Barcelona and its neighbor- hood are flocking to the prison from all parts In order to obtain a glimpse of the body of the man who a little more than a year ago caused such a sensation in this city, and who threw so many families into mourning. At sundown the society of the Brothers of the Good Death will take possession of the hody and convey it to the cemetery, beg- ging money all along the route in order to raise funds with which to have masses said for the repose of the soul of the anarchist. RUSSIA AND ENGLAND. Report That an Agreement Between Them Has Been Reached. LONDON, November 21.—The St. James Gazette this afternoon gives prominence to an article in which it is said that it is rumored that a reapproachment has taken place between Russia and England, and that it 1s possible that the Straits of the Dardanelles (which have been closed to Rus- sian and other men-of-war since the sign- ing of the treaty of 1Si1, which was con- firmed by the Paris treaty of 1856) will shortly be opened to the men-of-war of all rations. According to the St. James Ga- zette this matter is the taik in the diplo- matic circles of several of the cupitals of Europe, and it is said that, in fact, very little else is talked about now. RUBINSTEIN’S DEATH. He Hnd Reen in Excellent Health Up to the Last. ST. PETERSBURG, November 21.—The death of Rubinstein, the celebrated pianist and composer, which occurred ‘on Tuesday mcrning at Peterof, was unexpected. He was playing cards until 11 o'clock, and was in the best of spirits. His wife at about midnight went to his room to bid him good night. Rubinstein then appeared tu be enjoying his usual health. At about 2 o'clock in the morning Mme. Rubinstein heard cries from the direction of her hus- band’s bed.room, and running to his door she found him standing up near the en- trance with a bed cover around his shoul- “cee was crying with pain, and gasped, “A doctor, a doctor! I am choking.” Two physicians were hastily summoned, but all their efforts to save the sufferer's life were unavailing, and he died in their presence. SHABBILY TREATED. How the Detroit's Officers Have Been Received in Spain, MADRID, November 21.—It seems that the officers of the Detroit have met with rather shabby treatment at the hands of the Spanish government, in spite of Mad- rid government assertions to the contrary. Comm:nder Wm. H. Browrson of the De- troit waited at Cadiz fer three days while the government decided upon the convey- ance of the Columbus relics to Madrid. At the end of that time Commander Brown- gon had not recived the slightest reply to his communication on the subject, and not the slightest notice had been taken of it. The commander thereupen decided to de- liver the relics himself, and cabled to Washington for instructions, The military authorities of the port permitted the land- ing of the cases and their escort of nine officers and twelve marines. To this force the Spanish authorities added a body of native troops; but the commander of the | Detroit and the secretary of the United legation had to buy railroad tickets he whele escort, which amounted to diture of $600. ish government is being bitterly icised for its fatlure to take prope cia, in the senate yesterday, said that Spain has been rendered ridiculous in the eyes of the United States and of the world. The Madrid newspapers take the same tone, although the citizens of Madrid are trying to efface the neglect of the gov- ernment officials, and as a_ result the Americans are the lions of the hour, and are being treated to bull fights and ban- quets, and are permitted to see all the sights free of cost. DENMARK’S PROHIBITION. American Beef and Cattle Excluded Because of Texas Fever. COPENHAGEN, November 21.—The of- ficial prohibition against the landing of cattle and fresh meat from the United States is published here today. It gives as the reason for this prohibition the discov- ery of Texas fever among cattle recently brought here from the United States. Rajah of Lombok Surrenders. AMSTERDAM, November 21.—Dispatches from the Island of Lombok say that the Rajah of Lombok, his son and his grandson huve surrendered to the commander of the Dutch forces, and have been sent to Am- panam. Another Shock in Cicily. ROME, November 21.—A dispatch from Messina, Sicily, says that a short, though violent, earthquake shock was experienced there today. No further damage, however, has been done, although the state of panic continues. The Kaiser Vinits His Mother. BERLIN, November 21.—Emperor William arrived at the Castle of Rumpenheim today on a visit to his mother, the Dowager Em- press Frederick, whose birthday it is. 'Fhe ex-empress was born in 1840. Tomorrow the emperor will leave for his shooting box at Letzlingen. Chinese Declined the Challenge. LONDON, November 21.—A dispatch from Hiroshima says that Admiral Ito reports that he cruised off Wei Hai Wei for two days, daring the Chinese to come out, but, he add, the Chinese failed to accept hi challenge. A German Noble's Death. BERLIN, November 21.—The Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Lisenach died last evening at Cape Martin. He was born at Weimar on June 24, 1818. —_——— WILL OPPOSE GOMPERS. Element of the Federation Friend! to the A. R. U, : CHICAGO, IIL, November 21.—A special to the Post from Denver says that the an- nual conventior of the American Federa- tion of Labor, to be held in that city in December, will develop a hard fight against the re-election of President Gom- pers, Secretary McGuire of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, and General Secretary Chris Evans. The opposition is the result of the action of the Federation last summer in Chicago refusing to recommend sympathetic strikes in support of the American Railway Union railroad strike. To the “Triangle,” Gom- pers, McGuire and Evans, is charged the responsibility for the Federation's deter- mination to keep its skirts clear of the American Railway Union imbroglio, and to these three officials the American Ratl- way Union and its sympathizers charge the defeat of the great strike. It is said that in their efforts to breed disaffection against the present management the Amer- ican Railway Union have converted some of the officials of the Knights of Labor. The element which has long antagonized President Gompers, will, it is said, aid in the attempt to secure his overthrow, and will probably endeavor to elect to the presidency of the Federation of Labor President McBride of the United Mine Workers of America. — INSTALLING A PASTOR. Rev. Ross Fish rn Takes Charge at Mt. Pleasant. The Mount Pleasant Congregational Church was filled to overflowing !ast even- ing on the occasion of the installation of its new pastor, Rev. M. Ross Fishburn. ‘The service was a most impressive one, and expecially was this true of the charge to the pastor, which was delivered by his father, Rev. J. Fishburn, and the charge to the congregation delivered by its former pastor, Rev. Chas. H. Small, now pastor of the Congregational Church of Hudson, Ohio. The minutes of the council, which ex- amined the candidate, were read at the opening of the service by Rev. 8. N. Brown. The doxology was sung and the prafSer of invocation offered by Kev. J. K. .Mason, D.D., of Herndon, Va. A hymn was sung and then the Scriptures were read by Rev. T. W. Jones, D.D., of Pi delphia. An anthem by the choir followed, and at Its conclusion the Key. 8. M. New- man, D.L., preached the sermon, ‘The prayer of installation was offered by Rey. J. BE. Rankin, D.D., LL.D., presi- dent of Howard University. ‘fhe right hand of fellowship was extended by Kev. J. W. Chickering. ‘The Rev. J. Fishbyrn, in delivering the charge to the pastor, drew the text of his address from the words in Acts 20:u8: “Feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His own bleod.” He spoke of the prime necessity of pastoral fidelity, of the duties of guiding, protecting and comforting the flock committed to his charge, and of the dangers which in these latter days are upon every hand, conclud- ing with the exhortation to look to the Giver of all strength for a supply sutticient for all needs. Rev. Mr, Small, in charging the con- gregation, enjoined them that they be a responstve people, not allowing the pastor to do all the work, but responding readily to his plans and the needs of tne hour, to be a united pecple and to be loyal to church, pastor and to Christ. The choir sang an anthem ard the con- cluding prayer was offered by Rev, Byron Sunderland, D.D. After the singing of a hymn the bene- diction was pronounced by the pastor. The choir consisted of Mrs. L. C. Lap- ham, Miss Sadie Harmon, Mr. Wm. H. Ronsaville and Mr. Edgar C. Campbell. The new pastor is very well known in this city, having been for two years 1s- sistant pastor of the First Congregational Church of this city. Previous to this time he was pastor of a church in Roxbury, Conn. He received his theological train? ing in Yale. During the day the regular quarterly meeting of the Washington conference of Congregational churches was held in the Mt. Pleasant Church. In the morning at 10 o'clock the council to examine the candidate for the pastor- ate of the church met, and having passeds pon his qualifications, the program was arranged for the installation service. At 11 o'clock the sacrament of the Lord's supper was administered. In the afternoon the regular session of the conference was held, and interesting addresses and discussions were the order of the day. Mr.,John B. Sleman was elected moderator and Rey. Adam Roch, scribe. The conference meets again in February in Plymouth Congregational Church of this city. pee ene THE RECALCITRANT WITNESSES. Motion Argued to low the Appeal From Judge Cole’s Decision. In the Court of Appeals this morning counsel for Messrs. John W. Macartney and Elverton R. Chapman, under tndict- ment for refusing to answer certain ques- tions propounded by Senator Gray's sugar trust investigating committee, moved that the appeal from Judge Cole's decision, over- ruling the demurrers filed against the in- dictments, be allowed. The motion, which was made for the purpose of havi the sppellate court pass upon Judge Cole's rul- ing before the cases go to trial in the court below, was argued on behalf of the de- fendants by Messrs. Shellaberger and Wil- acn, and :n opposition by District Attorney Birney. _ Another Knox Suit. Another suit @t law for damages has been filed against the “George W.

SUBURBAN CHURCHES Care for.Them Discussed at Considerable Length. Bui Teer» THE COLUMBIA BAPTIST. ASSOCIATION. sy Interesting Remarks Made at the Second Day’s Session... How to X EXECUTIVE REPORT ADOPTED. ‘The local Baptists began work for the second day’s sesston of the annual meeting of the Columbia Association at 10 o'clock teday instead of 11, as yesterday, “afid soon got under way with enthusiasm. The meet- ing was opened with a hymn, “Blessed Be ‘the Tie,” by the delegates. Then Rev. C. G. Lynch offered prayer, and Rev. H,.T. Stevenson of Anacostia read from the twelfth chapter of Gallacians. After another song, Rey. Mr. Stevenson made a brief address on the subject of Bible lessons. After another song, and a prayer by Mr. Stevenson, the real work of the session ‘was begun by the moderator laying before the delegates the repcrt of the executive board, which was presented yesterday af- ternoon, His invitation to the delegates to discuss the report was accepted by: several of the pastors present. Encouraging Reports. Rev. H. C. Naylor of Maryland: Avenue Church gave utterance to words of cheer and encouragement. Thé work at his church, he said, is going on at a -satis- factory rate, and the indications are most gratifying. ee Rev. Mr. Fountain of East Washington Heights ‘said that the suburbs of the city are developing in a most remarkable man- rer and furnishing a splendid field for church work. There are today twenty-five people, he said, who are ready to pledge themselves to establish a church at East Washington Heights. Rev. G. W. McCullough of Mount-Tabor Church spoke in a similar vein as to the opportunities offered by the suburban re- gions, und urged the association to give the weaker churches every possible ald. An Appeal for the Smaller Churches, Rev. Mr. Stevenson of Anacostia made an eloquent plea for the smaller churches outside of the city, and appealed to the assecietion to help to locate ministers in fields not now. occupied. There ate vast stretches of territory across the branch, he said, that contain ‘not a single church, much ‘less a Baptist church; while the population of those sections is yearly in- creasing. There ig but one. Baptist Church In Princé George's county. This city, he sald, is growing eastward rapidly, and there is a very fertile field. He spoke enthusi- astically of @ young man who stands ready today to start a new church in this vicin- ity, if the association will but promise to aid him. He said he thought the young unmarried men are the best ones to select to organize new churches, as they can live more economically and devote more energy and time to the dijficult,task before. them. Mixsionary..Wark Needed. Rev. Mr. Outwater of Kendall Chapel, who has just recoyered, from a dangerous Ulness, niadé*a shart t His little flock, he said, is very well contented ‘and asks for no more aid. He thought that a new buliding ‘tight “be* acckptable some day, but he diq not ask for belp now. Kendall Chapel, he’ added, {8 rattier hemmed in, but the people who att¢nd are very loyal, and would not leave for any inducement. He pleaded that more help be given by the people of the churthes to the missionary board. He had often een told that it would be good fof the Baptist Church if {t had a central power, like the pope of the Catholic Church, to diréct workers hither and thither, to goverit"the machinery of the church. But ‘there is such a power among the Baptiste, {hough it may not be expressed in an individual, and tg foster and aid this power the members of the congregations should aid the board by con- @ributions and prayers, : The Ficld in Brookland. Rev. H. H. West, pastor of the Queens- town Church: at Brookland, arose to ap- peal, not for money aid, but for the “ex- pressed sympathy” of the members of other, Baptist. churches. He said that -his organization is now beyond the need of financial ald, and that Mis “people are--the most independent folks In the world. But they need moral help, visits, and such encouragement. He spoke of several in- stances of such heip having’ Neen given, and it had done so much, good that his people were hopeful that they might be often so helped. He spoke of the un- denominational interest that the people of Brookland take fa the Baptist Church, and said that the Catholic priest there had told him that the people, of the little suberb were better as a whole since he had started in the field. When, some time ago, he feared he would have to give up the work, he had beeti catted upon by the peo- ple, without regard to denominations, uri ing him to stay and kéép ils congregation together, . “fev. Mi, Matr of thé’ Street= Churen seconded the appeal of Mr. West ang urged his brethren to go out to the suBurbati churches at odd times to help on the work. Rev. Mr. Anderson of Grace Church said he would have to appeal still further for the aid of the association, for a legacy that has been left the church cannot be obtained for some months. But the r ligious development in his church, he add- ed, is very marked and satisfactory. Other Remarks. Mr. A.C. Remington, who announced him- self asa “back number” who had not ocer- pied a pulpit for ten years, spoke briefly. He sald that the old Baptists were great church starters, and that this spirit ought to be cultivated. A vote was about to be taken upon the adoption of the report of the board, when Rev. Mr. Allen arose to protest. The re- port, he said, ‘showed that nothing has been done dyging ‘the year in the line of estab- lishing Missions, and there is no promise of anything to be done next year, There is a great field near at home, and it should be cultivated. He protested Against the church depending upon what has been done in the past. The prayer of yesterday, he concluded, will not suffice today. To Go to Suburban Charches. Mr. Gregory arose. to call attention to the curious phenomenon of the Baptist Church, which he likened to a “rope of sand;”” wit out any organizati¢n, growing to the m lions of members, He sald that in grganiza- tion lies great stréngth, and he had long been at a loss to agcount for the elements that hold the Baptist ;,denomination to- gether. He thought it mugt be the fact that there is nothing between the Raptist and Christ— no machinery to cloud his religious vision. Two Baptists, he said, make a church, and one Baptist, if he can find no companion, will let his’ right hand grasp his left and so make a church. ‘The good done in mu- nicipal governments by the Baptists,..he added, will always overtop the work done by organizations of citizens. In reference to the mission work of the church he ap- pealed to his hearers to go out to the sub- urban churches and hold picnic parties at their prayer meetings; without the picnics, but with the prayers. RyY- Dr. Greéne’ of Calvary said that while’ he agreed ‘that “there was much yet to be done in “outside work,” and so agreed with Dr Allen that there should be more work done toward. establishing missions, he thought there should be made seme explanation as to the Work that has been done. He called attention to the fact that there have been several missions supported by the local churches during the past season. His theory of missionary work is that the outside chape!s should be treated much like g new-born babe. ‘The problem is not so much how to bring it into the world as how to keep it, to feed it, clothe {t and to rear it in the right life. So that there ts still great work to be done in the new fields in tilling the ground already turned up by the plow. Mr. Palmer argued in behalf of the ex- eentive Loard, which he defended from the criticism that not eno had been done. He appealed that 1ore confidence should be rleced in the beard, and that contrtin- tions ehould be placed in the hands of its members without reserve. New boards, he seid, might go ahead for a time with an enthugiasm and establish many new works, but that inspiration might fall soon and leave the church worse off than be- fore. He considered a little work well done better than more work half done. The Report Adopted. _ The vote was again about to be taken, when Rev. Mr. West suggerted that prayer be offered before the report was disposed of. This was accepted, and Mr. J. D. Smith was thereupon called upon to offer. prayer. Mr. Grayson epoke briefly to up- hold the report of the board, and at the conclusion vf his remarks the vote was taken, resulting in the unanimous adoption of the report. Rev, Green Clay Smith offered a resolu- ion indorsing the work of establishing the new church at East Washington Heights. was not immediately taken, as at the re- quest of Rev. George HB. 'T. Stevenson of East Washington Heights, who said he wanted to speak on this resolution, it was laid on the table until after recess. “I'm hungry,” announced Mr. Swem, and he moved an’ adjournment for luncheon. This motion prevailed and the association took a recess after prayer had been of- fered. ‘The afternoon session was devoted to a consideration cf the resolution offered by Rev. Mr. Smith, and also of the report of the committee on education. 'This evening's session will be given up to the committee on Sunday schools. Rev. John M. Pilcher will address the association oa this subject. Last Evening’s Session. Yesterday afternoon Treasurer W. E Evans reported the receipts to be $2,576. The disbursements amounted to $2,434.89, leaving a balance of $837.05. Messrs Fen- wick and Frank Stickney were appointed a committee to audit the treasurer’s ac- counts. The report of the executive board was presented, stating that an appeal was made for more liberal contributions to the home missionary board, it being shown that during the past nine years that board had contribyted $3,000 to the Columbia As- sociation and had received only $1,164.76 in contributions. In conclusion, the report 8i .

Pe retacasManantageaee® & nother Attempt to Arrest and Con- fine the Young Englishman. The now famous legal entanglement ‘which has involved the young Englishman Walter A. Rodda got into another knot this morning, and there is no telling now when or just how the skein will be unrav- eled. Rodda is the man, it will be remem- bered, who was arrested on the charge of grand larceny, which charge was after- ward nolle prossed on the same day—Octo- ber 25—that he was convicted in the Police Court of petty larceny and sentenced to sixty days in jail. On the following dey Warden Leonard released Rodda, although he then had the commitment papers from the Police Court in his ession at the jail. A fortnight later ida was rear- rested by a jail guard, without a warrant of any sort. When the case came before Judge Cox he discharged Rodda on a writ of habeas corpus, asked for by Mr. Carlisle, holding that the jail officials had overstepped their authority in the matter. As stated in The Star, District Attorney Birney yesterday noted an appeal on behalf of Warden Leonard from Judge Cox's decision. Rodda was served with a citation in the case later in the day. As the man had no idea of the character of this legal paper, he was in Mr. Carlisle's office this morning in consultation with the lawyer, when a bench warrant was rerved upon him. This warrant was issued at the request of Mr. Birney, who wanted Rod: committed to jail pending the hearing of the case before the Court of Appeals. Mr. Carlisle was surprised at this turn of af- fairs, to put it mildly, and he at once went with the prisoner before Judge Cox and asked for his release on his personal recog- nizance. fter a little discussion it was decided to let the man out under $800 bonds, and Mr. Carlisle thereupon qualified as his surety in that amount. What Mr. Carlisle Said. That is the way the case stands now, but there is no telling what further develop- ments may appear, as the British embassy seems to be in the background as a potent factor, although it is denied that there are as yet any international complications. Mr, Calderon Carlisle, the attorney for the embassy, has taken an unusual interest in the case, as Rodda ts friendless and penni- leas, and would otherwise be quite help- less. In conversation with a Star reporter this morning Mr. Carlisle said that re- garded the case as one of considerable magnitude, as involving the rights and lib- erty of every citizen of Washington, if a jail official has the power to take a man into custody at any time without a shadow of a warrant, and he expressed the inte: tion of fighting the case through to the bitter end. According to Rodda’s state- ment an effort was also made by one of the warden’s deputies to induce him to go back to the jail of his own free will, pre- sumably for the purpose of putting him behind the bars, so that altogether the case is a very pretty one as it is, and promises still more interesting develop- ments. a THE COURTS.

The Knox and Dupont apartment build- ings, at 44th street and Greenwood avenue, Kenwood, the fashionable residence por- tion of the south division of Chicago, were destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The escape of many occupants of the flats in the buildings wag remarkable, considering the repidity with which the flames ene veloped the five stories of brick and stone, 100 feet by 100 in dimensions. A half dozen women and children would have been burn- ed to death had not the police officers and firemen rushed into tho burning pile and carried them out. Several of the women became so frightened upon realizing their peril that they fainted, making the work of rescue more difficult, FINANCIAL. Toney To Loan.

Ww ington Citizens Discuss Books and Other Matters. The school committee of the East Wash- ington Association held a meeting last even- ing for the purpose of considering the need of more text books in the night schools throughout the city. A report was submitted by Dr. Hubbell stating that a large number of !Jank books, writing tab- lets, arithmetics, bookkeeping books and histories were much needed In the Wallach School, corner 8th and Pennsylvania ave- nue southeast, which was visited by him a short while ago. ° An interesting letter was read by Chair- man Hill from the committee on educa- tion asking that untiring efforts be made to prevent the proposed appropriation for the ensuing year being cut down. An ap- propriation of the trustees for the erection of a new school building was cut down by Supt. Powell and again cut by the Com- missioners. A resolution offered by Dr. Hubbell recommending that the ast Washington Association ask Congress for an nppropria- tion to buy the necessary books ahd sup- plies for the night schools was unanimous- ly adopted. To supply the ten night schools for white children and colored dren an appropriation not to exceed $2, is esti- muted by the association. The commissioner of c@ucation of the association stated in his report to Dr. Hub- bell that he is willing to co-operate with them to secure the necessary text books for the District. At the close of the meeting It was agreed that Mr. Hitl be requested to prepare the report of the school committee for the as- sociation, and that It be presented at the meeting on next Tuesday night for the necessary signatures 9/ the committee. It also recommende that a commission be ap- pointed to secure the text books for use In the Disuict
