" DANGEROUS CHARACTER SHOT 0. Ryan Wonnded at Lincoln After Attempt- ing to Kill an Officer TRYING TO MAKE HIS ESCAPE s Pecaliar Clreumatances Surrounding the Caven of the Allogad Asylam Rood- orsI'rogress of Dan Laver's Trinl Yesterday. Laxcors, Oct, 10.—(Special to Tns Bes.j-— A man giving his name as C. Ryan, but whose real name nppears to be Daley, 1s lying at the point of death at St. Llizabeth’s hospital as the resuit of trying to escape from Officer ©)'Stee this morning. Ryan was shot in the left hip, well around to the rear, and it fs thought that the bullet has passed into his intestines. The physicians havo falled in their efforts 1o extract the bullei and Ryun is bleeding internaily. i h gang of elght men 14 ab once became engaged inking all the whisky they coul bag. About 1l o'clovk an at tempt was made to vound tHem up, but threo made thair cscapo. The day force on the lookout for them, and about 9 o'clock Ofticer O'Shee located them in an alley between N and O streots and Tonth and Bleventh, He teleptioned to the station for help and Ofcer Pound an- swered. The three men swere captured and started toward the station. Pound was aliead with a inan named Shean in tow, and was followed by O'shee, who had some fel- lows named Ryan and McDonald. As they neared the mouth of tha alloy on Tenth street O'Sieo saw the glitter of a revolver ud dropped to his knees just in time to es- cape o bullet from o revolver held by Ryan. Pound heard the shot, and turning round, saw Ryan and McDonald scudding down the alley. Ho fired once, but missed, and then O'Shee’s revolver was turned loose. At the second shot Ryan was seen to stagger, but he kept on running uctil he reached the alley west of the Western Union telegraph office. where he fell. McDonald was cap- =1 tured a block further down tho street by Coustable Mallovy, Ryan was taken to the station in the patrol ‘wagon, and from there to the office of the city physician, where an attempt was made he buller. The attempt failed the hospital. When the men wero searched at the station a quantity of small jewelry was found on them, together with two gold watches that Ryan bad, Ryan’s revolver was found to be fully loaded, with the exception of one ehamber. The men are thought to bo impli- cated in somo of the numerous burzlaries that have lately been committed in the sur- rounaing towns. reached Line Passing Counterfelt Monvy, W. W. Beach was arrested shortly after midnight last night on the charge of passing counterfeit money. A young fellow was ar- rested last spring or a similar charge and ‘when placed on the stand said ho had beon given tho money by Beach. Beach denied this and tho matter was dropped. Last winight Beach and a companion named Mun- son attemptd to y a counterfeiv half dollar on s saloonist at Fifteenth and O streets. Tne were notified and later apprehended When' arrested he made great resistance and attompted to pass some of the spurious coin to his son, who happencd on the scens about this time. Ho was prevented from doing so and taken to the station. When searched six base half-follars were found in his pockets. They are poor imitations of Uncle Sam’s subsi- diary coin and all boro the date of 1854, This morning Beach was turned over to the United States authorities. Munson has aot yet been arrested. Anxlous to Fu There are six more days in which ambi, #ous men can arrange to get their names on the Australian ballots and vhe ambitious ones are losing no time. The result of the short time is that democrats and independ- ents aro hustling to get up a little more fusion. An attempt was made to have Wil- liam Frhom, candidate for commissioner, withdraw with . E. Chappel, independent candidate for the same oftice, and allow Joe McGraw to be made the candidate of both partics. McGraw was & repub- Jlican up to the time that the " late county convention of the ropub- % Jicans refused to nominate bim for commis- sioner. Chappel positively refused to have it this way, and the result 1s that McGraw will have to make the race as best he can if the itch for office does not subside. Another schemo is to have Bishop and Hauser, demo- cratic and independent candidates for county clerk, withdraw and allow J. W. Jordan to make the race as a doublo heador. In return for this the independents offer to withdraw Babcock, candidate for register of deeds, and support Millar, the democratic uominee. This scheme shows symptomns of being a suc- 'y cess. Dan Lauer's Case, Soveral Lincoln attornoys are wondering why Dan Lauer and Frank Hubburd were not charged with conspiring to defraud the state instead of indicting each one sepa- rately. Itis hinted inseveral quarters thav there is an Kthiopian in the fuel heap, Ever since the Lauer trial bogan it would seem by the evidence that Hubbard and not Lauer was on trial. At this mornivg’s session of the court most of the time was spent in identifying the signature and writing of Lauver and comparing it with the writing on the warrant and voucher. The state hopes to show by this that Lauer assistod in mak- ing out the voucher and getting the warrant cashed. Attorney Oppenheimer was placed on the stand to identify Lauer’'s signature, ho having acknowledged Lauecr's signature Lt some logal documents. It scems that Oppenheimer had acknowledged the papors in this case for Lauer, and the papers wore » readmitted. Dr. Hayes Alsoidentified Lauer's signaturo, The state then offered in evi- dence the signatures on the pay roll, over which 80 much testimony has been taken, The defense vigorously objected to this, but they wore admitted. K. K. Hayden was called and identified the signature of George 1. Bowerman on the warrapt, aud also that of Hubbard on the back of the warrant, He also identified several signatures of Lauer, and furcher said that the name of Loose on the back of the warrant was written by the SamO person who wroto the signaturcs of Laue nd the other writings proved to be ... Lauer's. Thisisa vital poiut in the case, ‘ und right here the defeuse made its most vigorous fight, but Mr. Hayden's testimony wiis not shaken. The rest of the evidence Wwas on the same lines. The state is ready 10 rest its case, Wants Some of Barr's Oash. Mvrs. Martha Post has sued William Barr {or §5,020 damages.

TrextoN, N. J,, Oct. 19.—~Trenton is enfete today on the ocoasion of the unveiling of the monument of the battle of Trenton. Promptly at 12:30 the procession of the troops and the governors, the societies and invited guests started for the battle monu- ment. The reviowing stand was orectea in front of the county court house on Broad street, and here, after the ceremonies at the monument, the procession was roviowed by Governor Werts. There wera about 5,000 troops in line from New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,[Connecticut and New Jorsey, the command being formed undor command of General Sewell of this state, All of the large wagons in town were pressed into service and loaded with boxes silled with sandwiches, These were taken to Greenwood, where thoy were served o as lunch. Coffee to the oxtent of 1,000 gal- lons was prepared to be given to the troops. The weather was cloudy but cool, and the stroets were filled with people 'woaring badges and carrying flags. The ground near the monument was fairly black with human- ity walting for the procession. The monumens has for its center piece a large bronze statue of Washington, which stands on the top of a handsomo shaft, The monument is 150 feet above the street level, weighs 4,000,000 pounds, and the shaft cost over $00,000. How the Statue Was Ereoted. For fifty years the subject of the erection of & monument to commemorate the battleof Trenton has boen discussed, but it was not until May 7, 1884, that matters assumed any shape. At that time the Trenton Battle Monument association was formed. An ap- propriation of 815,000 was secured from the state of New Jorsey, and after somo dolay, congress made an appropriation of $30,000, and to these were added individual subs D- tions to the amount of $15,000. Tho bronze statue of Washington at the top of the shaft was presented by the state of New York through a legislative appropriation, in view of the fact that New York troops engaged in the battle of Trenton, which decided the fate of our country. Thus it was that thestaes of New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Pennsylvania paraded the flower of their National guard, and fifteen governors and their staffs were asked to be present at today’s ceremonies. ‘The shaft in itself commemorates the bat- tle of Trenton, which occurred after the stirring events about New York. Washing- ton is represented as he appeared on the morning of December 20, provious to the fa- mous battle, On that day Washington came down to the Pennsington road to the spot where the monument now stands and ordered Captain Alexander Hamilton, the 19-year-old artilleryman of New York, later the aistinguished statesman, to open fire on the enemy advancing up Warren street, Wasnidgton then gave the order for two brigades of American troops to hurry up the Brunswick road and prevent the enemy from escaping to Princeton. Then came the bat- tle and victory. Work of the Artlst. The statue of Washington surmounting the shaftis the work of William Rudoph O'Donovan of New York, who has made a study of the face and figure of Washington for nearly twenty years. The uniform rep- resented in the statue is an exact copy of that worn by Washington during the revolu- tionary war. Mr. O'Donovan had the suit now in tne Smithsonian institute at Wash- ington carefully measured aud reproduced, and had the model of & man sixty-three inches high. Every portion of the uniform was doubled, and this, with the bronze ped- estal, makes the statue just: thirteen feet igh. "l;‘nu style of the column erected is known as the Roman Doric. The base of the pedestal 18 twenty-nine feet eight inches square and ristog from the pedestal is a hollow fluzed column of handsome proportions, the top of which forms an observatory. The top of the granite work is 135 feet above the founda- tion, and with the thirteen foot statue it is 148 feet in height, or 150 feet above the street level. The foundation is of concrete, nine- teen feot deep. There is a room inside the pedestal nineteen feet across, of cruciform shape. In this room thers are three niches, designed to receive such revolutionary and historical trophies as may be presented to the assoca- tion. Access to the observatory at the top of the monument will be had by means of an electric eievator. The view from theob- servatory is one of great beauty, the country for miles arouna being spread out like a panorama. Thirteen electric lights fill the crown 2t the top of the obsecvatory. There are two bronze statues at the dourway, one representing an infantryman and the other a cavairyman, On the die above the base are blanks on which will be placed four bronze reliefs of events connected with the battle of Trenton and the revolutionary war. Historical Events in Bronz:, The doors are guarded by statues of John Russel in the uniform of a ‘‘Marbleheaa fisherman,” and of Blair McClennachan, a member of the Philadelphia city troop. Both statues are by Mr. O'Donovan. The reliet on the west side represents the crossing of the Delaware. In the foreground 18 Captain William Washington and Lieutenant James Mouroe, afterwards president. The boat 1n the foreground contains Wasnington and Colonel John Knox, the arsillerist. On the south is the reiief, he Opening of the Fight,” The battery of Captain Hamilton is about to open fire down Warren street at the advancing line of Hessians. To the east of the relief 1s tne “Surrender of the Hes- sians,” by Earl H. Niehaus. The infantry column to the left is Colonel Bradley's bat- talion of Connecticut state troops and the Hessian regiments of Rall and Von Losber- gare throwing down their arms. *“The Opening of the Fight” was presented by the state of New Yorik, “The Continental Army Crossing the Delaware” by Pennsylvania and **The Surrender of the Hessians” by Connecticut. Ground for the monument was broken September 20, 1891. The corner stone laid with impressive ceremonies on Satur- day, December 26, 1891, the 115th anniver- sary of the battle of Trenton. Governor Werts and staff, together with the visiting governors, wero conveyed in carriages to the monument, where the exel cises of the day were held. The grand stand waus occupled by many distinguished per- s0ns, among them boing ex-Governor ana Mvrs. Groen, the New Jersey senators and members of congress, und members of the monument association, the Princeton Battle association, the Sous of the American Revo- lution and Daughters of the Revolution ana members of the Order of Cincinnatus. After a venth Regiment band, Wil president of the association, came forward and introduced Bishop Starkey of New York, who invoked the Divine blessing on this auspicious ocea- sion. General Stryker then made the opening address and was followea by many well known and prominent men. The occasion was oue long to be remembered by those present, as well as the object for which they met. -— Preventi n is Metter Than cfire, and those who are subject to rheumatisim can preveut attacks by keeping the blood pure and f) from the acid which causes the disease.

Cu1cago, Oct. 19.—~Two trainloads of news- boys and bootblacks came into the fair this morning. They gathered down town at the Art instituto and the committee having the matter in charge marched the youngsters to two special trains which had been placed at their disposal by Prosident Fish of tho 1l nois Central, and they.were carried to the fair. A carload of provisions had been pro- vided by charitable persons, and the boys were entertained royally. Then the school children of the city came in large numbers. Excursion trains arrived from Joliet and Lemont bearing the school children of those cities. The Boards of Edu- cation of Joliet and Lemont gave the school children two days vacation, and the teachers in vhe public schools gathered the pupils of their classes together and brought them here. The crowd of children at the fair today 1s probably larger than on any proced- ing day of the exposition. Yesterday thero were 65,000 children present, making 2 total for the throe days of the week of 165,000. At high noon the now liberty bell was run; in commemoration of the surrender of T.ord Cornwaliis at Yorktown on October 10, 1781, The “great signal” was given, consisting of fifty-one strokes, one for each of the states and territories and one of welcome to the Hawalian islands. Concerning the Closing. The announcement made by the council of administration yesterday that the fair would not be formally closed October, but would continue as long as the weather permittod and the people wanted to come does not mean exactly what it says. Nobody ex- pected that the gates would be abaudoned the moment the curtain dropped on the ‘White City, and it certainly will drop Oc- tober 30, and nobody expected that people who wished to enter the grounds to watch the buildings being torn down and the exnibits moved away would be denied thut privilege, it they were will- ing to pay to pass through the gates. That js all the resolution adopted by the council of administration means. The fair Thas 1o official recognition by coygress after October 80, and the exhibits will, many of n their way out of the grounds as : oclock the morning of the 3lst inst. Many of the exhibitors alreaay have permits to remove their goods on that date and have contracts with the transportation and railroad companies to carry the goods on the first of the mouth. Gothamites Gathering. Manhattan day is now an.assuved success. The arrangements have been completed and the crowds are coming.
