10 KILL OFF CAPITALISTS: New York Police Discover a Plot That Will Cause Rich Men to Shudder. FORMED A CABAL OF ASSASSINATION, Organized ©ranks Whose Mission is to Iid the World of Wealthy People—Worse Than In- dia's Thugs. New York, Dec, 6.—The detect ive force of the police departmen’ and the detective forco of the press of the city were yesterday as busy as bees in a tar bucket--each sud all scurrying aftor an identification of the mad wretch who blew himself into pieces at Rus- soll Sage's office Frriday last. Oue of many clues focussed at the morgue where tho de- tached part of the bomb-thrower, with its tumbled hair and palid face and staring oyes, Is now on oxhibition for the purpose of recognition. Organized to Kill. Identification was believed to have been offected, and along with the identification there comes & story. Itis remarkavle, be it true or not. It goes to show the existence of au organized band of capitalist extermina- tors. 1t makes the bomb thrower ono of the band. The identification was made by and tho story comes from one Captain Harry Horne, who identified the head at the morgue as that of a man whom he had met several times and with whom he had frequently con- versed. Captain Horte, who was originally interested in Wild West shows, is now a lecturer in Worth’s museum, and it was there he first met the bomb thrower in the latter part of September. “He cama to me with a letter of introduc- tion from some person whose name I don’t remomber,” said Horne to Inspector Byrues, “and muae an engagement to meet me the following afternoon. I met him and he asked me to with him to lecture on wmonopolies in railroad ard shipping interests, which he wanted put under government control, ofter- ing me $100 for every lecture delivered. One of the features of the lecture was the propo- sition that all railroads carry passengors at the samo rate as froight, by ‘which arrange- ment men could travel across the continent ‘s"t‘; a few dollars whereas it now costs $60 or *fle said that all the prominent railroad men, Gould, Sugo, Depew and other mag- nates, would be invited to attend the lectures and bo convinced of the errors of their ways, In case they did not accept the invitations a 1etter would bo sent to them and if they per- sisted in refusing then bombs would be used. “He said nhe was a member of a strong organization to revolutionize natters in the interest of the poor people. It was a religious organization and would bo the largest in the country in two years, God was with ivand it was vound to succeed. If any one of the monopolists refused to ao what was right toward tho people he would be kitled by some member of the organization 10 be chosen by lots. Inducements to Join the Society, +In order to got me to accept the position of lecturer he assured me that while T nmust become & momber of tho organization, 1 would nover bo compelled to do any of the killing. “He said he could do_the lecturing him- self, but he was ant to becomo cxcited and mako remarks of too incendiary a nature. This he claimed to have dono in San Fran- clsco, and as o result had been arrosted three times and heavily fined. “He introduced me to several people, one of whom, o short, dark complexioned man with a black mustacho ana short beard, talked to me in the samo strain. “I flually became afraid of the two men and avoidert them as much as possiblo. One day ubout six weeks ago I saw dynamiter No. 1 standing in front of the museun. 1 slipped in a side door, and a few minutes later a doorkeeper brought a card on the back of which was written : I called, but fulled to see you this after- noon, October 21, Would you lease write mo where you e stopping and when 1 can sce you thore? Care of Morris hotel. W. D. Sovtnworr, ranclsco, No. 11 West streot. On the face of the card was printed : W. D. Southworth, Cornlsh Arms hotol, No. 11 Westatreet, agent for all Buropeun stenm and rallway lines. Tlekets to all points. Dratts froni ono pound upward. puyable at all points in the United Kingdoni. *That was the last time I suw of him until T see his body in tho morgue today.” Iuspector. Byrnes sent Detective Hanloy with Captain Horne to the Morris hotel, at 11 West street, and saw Benjamin Morris, the son of the proprietor. He said that Southworth had stopped at the hotel for four or five weeks, but left there two weeks ago t0 go to South America, whore he claimed to havemining intercsts, Captain [{orne described dynamiter No. 2 who has been introduced to him by the dead dynamite tiend and Morris immediately said that it was undoubtedly Southworth. He also identif ed the inscription on the hack of the card Captain Horue received on October 21, as Sou'hworth’s writing. Morris, was talken to the morgue oy Hauley, but he failea to identify the dead man as any one he had aver seen before, At 7 o'clock last night Inspector Byrnes sent a telegram to Chief of Police Crowley of San Francisco asking if any such man had been arrested in the past tivo years for mak- ing incendiary speccnes. nspector Byrnes also said that the dead dynamiter had been ideutitied at the morgue last evening by reputablo persons, whose names ho did not give, as a mav whose pecu- liar actions caused mu comment in tho Motropolitan hotel bur room Thursday morning. He entered tho hotel about 10 o'clock, bad two drinks and then rushed out. He soon came back and inquired about a toothvick he had left there. The bartender said that he had seen no toothpick ana the strangor laughed bois- ter ously and again rusbed out of the hotel, On Friday morning at 11 o'clock ho entered th e Metropolitan hotel bar and had o gin cocktail aud went out. He then acted ration- ally. Ho had his deadly valise with him, He must have gone divectly from the hotel to tho Arcade, whero he tried to put the principles of his talked of organization into practice about an hour later, Arrest of Dynamiter Southworth, Interest iu the attempt to kill Russel Sage with dynamite on F'riday last was increased today by the arrestof William Southworth, the man who sought to infterest Harry Horne, the dime museum lecturér, in an organization for the general betteriment of mankind by the ovorthrowing of monopolies, It was said yesterday that Southworth had one to Central America, but he was found y 1nspector Byrnes' men near the city and taken to polico headquarters. Southworth is undoubtedly acrank and vonfessed to Inspector Byrnes that ho had veen an inmate of a lunatic asylum, He was taken to tho morgue and shown the bead of the dynamites, but said he bad never seen it In life. In that particular, he contradicted the story of Horne, who said the Jdead man troduced Southworth tohim at the museum W0 months sgo. One David B. Shaw called at police head- quarters during the day aud identified South- worth as a man_whom he had met on Octo- ber 9, on which date there appeared in & moruing paper the following aavertisement : Wanted—A young man who has travelled considorably, 1o iet a3 an advince agent for u looturer. Address Morris hotel, 11 West sireet. Shaw went to the place designated and met Southworth, who uufolded a schemo for the orgavization of a secret sociely with branches in the larger cities. He, South- worth, was to be the head of the society, ‘The organization was to be of a politi- cal nature and could promulgate the idea of gotting the votes of the people to take away all telegrapus, rallroads and other monopolies from 1ndividuals and place thew in the hands of the general government. Howevor, they asked Shaw if he couk advanoce him $300 to begin operations with, Iu this conversation he referred repeatedly to Goula, Sage und otber eapitalists, Thoy had controlled things too long, he sald. He hought people ought to be able to go to San Francisco for $1, and thought three or four meetings of his society to get the people iu- \nfilfidulu I‘ m;chl!ml would bring this abou o claimed to own property in San Franeisco, s Several days after this Shaw roceived a lettar from Southworth asking him to meet hum again. This be signed, *Commander-in- shief, Grand Army of Lavor. Enclosea in | this lettor was a lengthy headed: ‘‘Overland for One Dollar,” signed in the same character istic way. Inspector Byrnes learned that the man came to this city about two months ago and went to the Masonic temple, presented his creuentials to the relief commitiee, Had Been Newspaper Men. Seatrie, Wash, Dec. 6.—W. D. South worth, who wrote CaptamnHarry Horne of New York, Inviting liim to lecture on an anarchistic topic, came to Seattle in 1883, and was koown as “Oud Job Man, He cleaned cesspools night and made anarcnistic speeches in the day time.

FORTY LECTURES FOR NEBRASKA FARMERS Lincoln Man Still Living with a Bro- Neck—~Work on the New Liibor be Commenced, Palace to Lixcory, Neb, Dec. 6.—[Special to Tur Bre |-<Tho University of Nebraska has taken a new departure in its course of study in the way of summer excursions, both in this country and in Kurope. Definite ar- rangements have already been made for tho first of these excursions, and it will be under the charge of Prof. Lees of the department of Greek. Ho will take charge of a party not to exceed eight young men to New York and Liverpool, thence to Chester, then down through the mountains and valleys of Wales and across to Shrewsbury, thenco through the south of England, visiting the leading towns and industries (ieeluding the tin mines) in that part of the country : spend two or thivee wecks {u London, and then by way of Oxford, Cambridge, Rugby, Stratford, Kenilworth, Warwick, Manchester and Sheftield to Liver pool again; and then to New York and home. Ths total cost of this journey from Lincoln, where the party will assemble, to Lincoln again is guaranteed not to exceed §200, and may possibly be i little less, The party will be absent nearly ninety days. If when the party comes together the membors desire, at a slight additional ex- pense, say not to excoed ¥25 each, to spend u week in Scotland, this will be done, or they may take a run over 1o Paris fora week and thence to Brusscls ana through Holland back to England. These are added details which can be dotermined during the journey. This party must be made up within the next sixty duys, that 1s _before February 15, in order that berths may be secured and all necessary arrangements completed. Prefer- ence in membership will be given to students and ex-students of the uuiversity, but any young man in the state, not under sixteen Vears of age, may join on making application 1o Prof. Lees, care of the university, Lincoln. 'll‘ne party will leave Lincoln about the Ist of June. University Training for Farmers. To meet a steadily growing demand on the part of the farmers of Nebraska the State university has decided to institute a serics of forty lectures which will set forth in con- densed forw the latest results of agricultural investigation and exporiments, Four le tures a day will be delivered, commencing s nd coatinuing until Febroar e loctures will bo so arranged 1 those attending will have time for special reading vetween the lecture hours and during the evenings, With the university library open until 10 p. m. and the reading room of the city library accessible to all, these courses and the opportunities for some littie original investigation must offer very strong inducements to a great many enterprising farmers to spend a_couple of “weeks at the capital aity. For prosent win- ter at least there will be no charges or expenses connected with tho course, The personal expenses of those attending can very easily be kept within $1 a day if they desire. The university will answer all inquiries as to places and cost of boarding. Those wishing to attend theso lectures should enroll by letter or in person before February 1, though others will be ad- mitted later if the membership is not too large. ‘Those who will lecture in these course: the chancellor, Profs. Billings, Bess Brace, Barbour, Nicholson. Ingersol, Brunor and Taylor. Prof. Hartley of this city and Mr. K. A. Stephens of Crete will each de- liver oue address on matters i which they are specially informed. University Notes.

Robert. (iracie, an employe of Lowrey's mill in this city, is stil on earth, but he’ is badiv handicapped in the strugglo for exist- ence with a broken ncck. Yesterday after- noon while he was attempting to place a belt on a rapidly revolving wheel his coat tail was caught up by the shaft and before he could be rescued he was seriously and probably fatally injured. After being removed to his home it was ascertained that the spinous process on the buck of one of the vervical vertibra was broken and his neck disiocated. The spinal cord bad been so tightly com- pressed that the victim's enure body was completely paralyzed, The attending physi- cian gave no hopes of his recovery, but this morniug he seemed some vetier and ex- pressed a dosive for breakfast. His physician says that it is hardly probable tbat he will live ane that even if he does life will bo n burden to him, He will be unable to hold his head upright and any sudden move or jar will snap the spinal cord. Even tha fact that he has lived twenty-four hours is looked upon as a remarkabie circumstance. Lincoin's Fabor Palace.
