During the siege of Vicksburg McCul- lagh was doing newspaper work and was in the wheelhouse of a blockade runner when 2 cannon-ball took away half of the frame structure. McCullagh turned to the terror-stricken pilot after removing & hitherto undisturbed cigar from his mouth and asked: ‘Do you suppose that fellow intended that shot for us?” McCuliagh admired manly men above all things and hated a coward. In his newspaper experience in Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Lous, and especially in the latter city, his personsl nerve was frequently put to a test and was never found wanting. His correspondence for the paper he represented during the Civil War was graphic and masterly and the letters he wrote for the paper have served to.make history. McCullagh was an indefatigable worker. He not only managed the Globe-Democrat as far as its editorial policy was concerned, but wrote its leading editorials and editorial paragraphs. He was a master of epigrams, and his editorial paragraphs were always terse and full of meat. He was always at his best in the face of defeat. He did his most brilliant work after the defeat of Blaine in 1888, McCullagh's greatest endeavor in life was to build upa_paper for the masses, and when he had full sway of the Globe- Democrat he came near to doing this. His idea in journalism was to make a paper that would be of interest wherever it might be taken up by readers. Pursuing this course, he made the Globe-Democrat a paper that was read by travelers every- where, There was never a piece of news afloat that McCullagh did not get. He bad a sublime disregard for telegraphic tolls, and would often order a bit of cable intelligence from a European capital, which would not make more than a dozen lines, but $et would cost the paper a | princely sum. Still it was the “news,” and that was what McCullagh was after. Under bis management, when he had things his own way on the Globe-Democrat, its telegraphic tolls were tremendous. He bad a special correspondent in almost every town and hamlet in the United States and in all the principal ecities abroad, and he knew almost every one of them by name and demanded from each of them the news. “What is news” was never a conundrum to McCullagu. He knew what news was, and got it. McCuilagh was thoroughly democraticin a way. He was passionately fond of bil- liard-playing, and always indulged in a game or two before dinner at the Southern Hotel. One could aiways find him there at 6 o'clock in a genial, kindly mood, ready to roll the ivory balls with any one who cared to play with bim. As he was an expert in the newspaper business, so was he an expert at billiards. The time he spent at the billiard-table was probably his happiest, except when he gloated over | some great coup that he had made for his Ppaper. ‘When playing billiards he was always approachable. A voung fellow once calied upon McCullagh in his office and asked por a position on the paper. He was briefly told that there was no place open for him. That ht he strolled in the | Southern Hotel billiard-room and founu | McCullagh rolling the balls around the | table in a listless way that betokened a desire to have some one challenge bim for a game. The young man took a cue from the rack, the batls were lined up and they entered upon the contest. The young fellow out of a job proved to be the superior player and defeated McCullagh. At theend of the pame the managing | editor turned to the solicitor for a position on his paper and said: *Come down to the office to-night. I have something for you fo do.” And w. ea the young man wént down to the Globe-Democrat office he was given a vosition on the telegraphic desk at a very good salary. These are but incidents that indicate something of the chiaracter of Joe McCul- lagh. He was one of the old-time news- paper men that loved his paperabove veif and fame. He had a keen apprecia- tion of the dignity of the newspaper pro- fession, and a happy faculty of 1mbuing thisfeeling into the minds of all the men who worked for him. He was a courage- ous man, a rattling good newspaper man, a good fellow and it is & pity that he is dead. IHE FuANKLIN FUND Boston Aldermen Now Want to Spend the Money for a School. BOSTON, Mass., Dec. 3L.—The appoint- ment of trustees to administer the Frank- lin fund was considered in the Suffolk Probate Court yesteraay by Judge Grant. ‘When Benjamin Frankiin died in 1798 he gave by his will to the inhabitants of Bos- ton £1000 sterling to be let out in small amounts to needy apprentices of the town at an annual interest of 5 per cent. This plan was to be pursued for a period of 100 years from the time of his death, when the fund with its accumulations should be applied to specified public objects. The management of tuis fund was directed by his will 10 be under the Selectmen, “uni- ted with the ministers of the oidest Epis- copal, Congregational and Presbyterian churches of Boston. Tne fund now amounts to $360,000 and the Board of Aldermen would like to ap- propriate it for the erection and mainte- nance of a trades school. The case before the court to-day was the petition of Mayor Quincy and the Al- dermen for the appointment of them- selves and Revs, Stopford Brooks, Duane and McClellan, as the ministers of the three oldest churches enumerated in the will, as trustees to administer the fund. Ever since 1522, when Boston became a city, there have been no Selectmen, and it is a question whether or not since that year there has been any trustee for the fund at all. The case was continued tiil Monday. STABBED B S Y THE HEART. One Youth Pul to Death by a Playful Fool Boy. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 3L.—John Gaynor, 16 years old, while playing with a friend, John Summers, sbout the same age, last night, was accidentally stabhed in the heart by Summers and died a few minutes afterward. Sumihers bought a new jackknile containing one long blade yesterday, and last evening took it to Gaynor’s bouse to show it 1o him. Summers opened his knife, and pre- tended to stab Gaynor, but at each of the feints turned the bliade guickly, striking Gaynor on the breast slightly with tho bandle. The boys laughed over the joke, but unfortunately at last Summers forgot to turn the knife and the blade entered Gaynor’s brea t and peneirated his heart. e S RBanguet to Archbishop Martinelli, LAWRENCE, Mass, Dec. 8L.—A ban- quet to Archbishop Martinelll, confined exclusively to clergymen, was given in St. Mary’s Hall to-day by Rev. James T. Orrmy. It was an elaborate affair, served by a Boston caterer. Archbishop Wi liams, Bishop Bradley of Manchester, Vicar-General Byrne of Boston and Father Griffin of the Catholic University were among the guests. } CONTRACTS FOR TWO CRUISERS They Will Be Constructed in This Country for Japan. One of the Modern Warships to Be Built by the Scotts, the Other by the Cramps. Great Speed and Power Must Be Shown by th: Vessels to Fill \ Requirements. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 3L.—Twen- ty-four months from this date the rapidly growing Jupanese navy will be increased by the addition of wwo swift cruisers of American build. The contracts were siened to-day at the Japanese legation by Minister Hoshi, rep- resenting the Japanese Government, and by Henry Scott of San Francisco and Charles H. Cramp of Philadelphia, repre- senting the Union Iron Works and the Cramps’ siipyards respectively. Shortly after the the termination of the Chino-Japanese war, when it became | known that Japan purposed building a | large navy, the two American firms sent agents to Tokio to secure a part of the work. Their efforts were for a time un- successful, but they were ably seconded by the legation at Washingion, particu- larly by its naval attaches, and by the fur- ther fact that after a careful investigation |of the great European and American navies the Jupanese Government satistied itself that the Americans had reached the perfection of naval machinery and that our engines and boilers were superior to those of other nations. Tnese favoring influences culminated to-day in the signing of contractsfor two second-class protected cruisers, one to be built at San Francisco and the other at Philadelphia, both to be completed with- in two years. The two vessels will. cost $3,000,000 in round numbers and represent tne latest and best type of architecture. Each will have a displacement of 4760 tons, or 260 tons more than the Chicago, which was one of the original quartet of steam vessels | that marked the renaissance of the | navy. Their length over all will be 374 | feet with a breadtn of 48 feet, an extreme | depth of 30 feet and a draft of 17 feet 9 inches. In point of speed they will outstrip any v ssel in the American navy except the Minneapolis, which steams a trifle more than 23 knots an hour. The new vessels will make 2214 knots under forced draught, which is a fraction faster than the Colum- bia, the sister ship to the Minneapolis. They will be.constructed with longi- tndinal and transverse bulks, divided 1nto compartments, an armored conning tower and the engine and boiler rooms will be protected underneath by a double bottom. Their main battery will consist of two eight-inch guns, one i:/ the forecastie and tbe other in the poop, with & secondary battery of 10-centimeter guns, twelve 12-pounders and six half-pounders. The entimeter guns and the 12-pounders will have a broadside fire. Their offensive qualities will be completed by the addition of five torpedo tubes. The vessels will be | built of the best quality of American steel | and represent the newer types of American construction. The engines will be triple expansion with cylindrical boilers. In the arrangement of the crew’s quarters and the galleys, they will differ somewhat from American-built ships and made to conform to the Japanese idea of utility and comfort. Some of the guns will be manufacturea in England and the remainder in the imperial yards of Japan. A similar con- tract will be given to an English ship- building firm, with & view to testing the relative merits of American and English skill. If the two vessels in question prove satisfactory, they will point the way to future contracts for American builders. It was stated this afternoon by Com- mander Marita of the Japanese legation that the v-ssels composing the American fleet in Eastern waters during the past year have proved an instructive object lesson to the Japanese Government as showing the capabilities of the Americans 1n the art of smp-buildiug. The Olympia, the superb protected cruiser of nearly 6000 tons displacement and carrying a battery of four 8-inch and ten 5-inch rapid-fire guns, was sent to the China station a year ago, where her fine sea-coing qualities won for Herself and incidentally for her builders unstinted praise, and aided mate- rially in satisfying the Japanese that the Americans are building to-day the best ships in the world, It isan interesting circumstance that the contracts made to- day are the first Japan has given to any outside nation since the late war. Prior to that contracts were placed in England for several small cruisers, but none has since been made there, althongh, »s pre- viously stated, a sister ship to the two American vessels will now be built in that country.

TRIES TO EXTERMINATE A FANILY Edward Flanagan Kills Three Persons and Is Now i Danger of Being Lynched, ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 31.—Edward C. Flanagan, an empioye of the Standard Oil Company, attempted to exterminate the Allen family at Poplar Springs, De Kaib County, to-night, and did kill three. His victims were Dixon E. Allen and wife, an old couple, both aged over 70 years, and Miss Ruth Stack. Flanagan seems to have been in love with Leila Allen, “the 11 - year - old daughter of Dixon Allen, the old couple’s married son. Allen and his wile and two children lived with them in a cottage four miles from the city limits. Flawagan had been boarding with them for six months. His actions to-day were not quite natural, but he did not cause ary alarm. It was noticed, though, that he was anxious to get the members of the family to leave the house. Late in the afternoon he re- turned and when supper was announced he ate with the famil When he had finished, he asked Mrs. G. ‘W. Allen to give him a drink of water. She left the room to get it. Her husband was standing by the table talking to his father. Flanagan went to his own room and returning in a moraent thrust a pistol closeto the son’s head andfired. Allen dodged and the ball struck him in the back of the head. Flanagan stepped over his body and knocked the lamp from the table with a wave of his pistol. Old Mrs. Allen, Miss Stack and the children ran into the room in terror. Flanagan clubbed the elder Allen with his pistol and killed hium. Then he strode quickly from the room, where the women were screaming, and began firing on them. Old Mrs. Allen was shot through the body twice and killed. Miss Stack was shot through the back of the neck and fatally wounded. At this moment the daughter-in-law, ‘who bad gone for the water, returned and rushed fnto the room. .She found that Flanagan was trying to kill'Leila, her daughter. She strack the pistol, and then clinclied with the murderar. He struggled until he bad dragged her outaoors. Flanagan fought like a mad- man and tried his best to shoot her. She succeeded in preventing him from firing for a minute or more. My this time her husband had recovered consciousness and he ran out to his wife’s rescue. Help soon arrived. Fianagan was bound and held uatil Sheriff Austin arrived. A large crowd assembled and talked freely of lynching Flanagan. The Sheriff did not wait to give them an opportunity, but immediately hurried the prisoner off and brought him into the city, where he was placed in the jail. Miss Stack died about midnight. She was from Birminhham and was to have been married. KGN-UNION PRINTERS ASSAILED. Those Employed by a Chicago Establish- ment Are Waylaid and Beaten Daily. CHICAGO, In, Dec. 31.—While the corners of Adams and Dearborn streets were crowded with home-going working people and shoppers to-night almost a panic was creuted by a savage attack being | made on six non-union employes from the Donohue & Henneberry printing es- tablisbment, by a8 number of union men who have been out on strike, Several of the working printers were injured, John McGowan the most seriously. His face and bead were cut, and he lost much biood before the ambulance arrived to take bim to the bospital. A riot call was sent to the City Hall and officers were hastenad to the scene and caught three of the attacking party. One of the non-union men was found to be armed with a revolver and was salso ar- rested. This was the third time he had been assaulted. The assaults on employes of the establishment are of almost daily occurrence, and arrangements have been made to provide the men with sleeping- rooms in the building. Only a few dare go to their homes. A printer and press- man were waylaid last night while going home, brutally beaten and badiy injured by unknown men who are supposed 1o be | strike sympathizers. Both of the victims were kicked while on the ground. Charles Wilkins was probably the worst injured. It is reported from the German Hospital to-night that he cunnot recover. He was jumped on by eight men and brutaily bruised. Internal injuries re- sulted from being kicked. John Mallory was also seriously injuled. His head was cut in at least twenty places. About twenty kers and eight non-union men engaged in the melee. The non-union men were accompanied by three detec- tives. The strikers chased them away and soon put the non-cnion men to flight. Several revolver shots were fired, but luck- ily no one was killed in the passing crowd. ATl e SUICIDE GF A SUGAR AGENT. Having Lost Seven Thousand Dollars of the Trust's Funds He Shot Himself.

Dreyer of Chicago Will Have to Pay the Banker’s Shortages. GRAND FORKS, N. D., Dec. 3L—At a meeting of the Second National Bank this morning they decided not to open for business. The foliowing notice was posted on the doors: “‘On account of recent heavy with- drawals of deposits and the impossibility of realizing on our assets, it has been de- cided by our board of directors to suspend and the Comptroiler has been advised of our action.” The officers of the bank were inter- viewed and while not prepared to make any statement until the Comptroller and Bank Examiner coula be heard from, the foliowing facts were gleaned from the statement made by one of the bank officers: Immediately foliowing the failure of the Bank of Illinois and the Baok of Minnesota, the bank had sus- tained a shrinkage of $40,000, while their depoists amounted to about $17,000 during the last fourteen days.

Dreyer, as treasurer of the West Park voard, will be formally notitied next week that Mr. Dreyer has failed to acquit a claim of $310,000 in favor of the park board, The bondsmen will be called upon to make the amount good, as they are sure- ties for §500,000. This action has been decided upon by the board and its attor- ney has been instructed to proceed. Mr. Droyer is seriously ill at his home with inflammation of the kidneys, and his physician has forbidden any one seeing him to talk over his business difficulties. Because of the banker's physical con- dition, Bondsmen Washburne and Hen- did not press their inquiries when they visited him a few days ago to learn how he had invested the park money. He admitted, however, that he had sold park bonds at one time to exceed $50,000, which was a violation of a promise made at the time Mr. Henrici signed the bond, accord- ing to the latter's statement to-day. He added: r. Dreyer told .me he was ‘worth a million dollars above his liabili- ties at the bank. I believed it then, but I know better now. I wasdeceived.” Mr. Washburne says he will not shrink from his obligation. He is also a private banker. At a special meeting of the board of di- rectors of the Dime Savings Bank which was elected yesierday Ralph Metcalf was appointed treasurer of the bank, a posi- tion equivalent to that of manager. This action displaced George W. Reed from the treasurership, which he held for years. Mr. Metcalf, to whom the apoointment assumed charge of the no orders as to the bank's future and would only say the directors had arranged 10 meet every dollar of deposits when due, or before. Interest may be paid January 2 Thedirectors are not disposed to ac- cept any offer of outside assistance to liquidate or remsin in business.

He says 80 per cent of organized wage- earners voted for Bryan, and the result of the election was due to the fact that un- organized workers overwhelmingly out- numbered those who were organized and who had been educated and drilled in the tactics of the enemyand could not be coerced from voting their own convie- tions, The ballot, however much it has been eulogized, has been beaten to the earth by boodle, and cannot be relied upon to execute the will of the people while they are in industrial bondage.

Timothy Jonesand Henry Richards *“Finis” was writlen to a story of one of the saddest tragedies in the later history of the med- ical profession of Great Britain, Briefly told, Dr. Jones has been for years oneof the leading physicians and’ sur. geons of Wales, He wasy a member of several learned societies, anu medical libraries have been enriched by numerous | works of research and impqrtance bear- ing his seal of authorship. His practice was aristocratiaand lucra- tive and he lived in magnificertt style at Swansea. Dr. Richards, his prifeipal as- sistant, was a young graduate g great promise, A few months since DA Jones was approached by the head of a w}xlmy family of which he was medical\ ad. viser, and who implored him\ to perform an illegal operation ufn a b-autiful young girl named L valiantly fought and often quished. and weeks ago marr! ne. & five' per cent bonds and Utah South- landslide which oconr . 2 red near R County Kerry, on Suaday .mg M. bas not vet subsided.

Y., Dec. 31.—Ex-Mayor Howell of this city is dying at his re dence in this cily irom a complication o diseases. He was born iu Bradford, Engs land, 1n 1829. The Doctor’s xammatign! Chalienger, forewoman of a millinery eny porium, and with whom the doctor's patron had been on intimate terms. In an evil bour Dr. Jones, motwithstanding his hi-h reputation, consented. Then followed an app=1ling series of tragedies, The young woman died under the sur- geon’s knife and in his own office. Concealment was impossible. The po- lice were notified, and the doctor and his assistant, young Richards, were arrested as the body was being borne from the Morgue. The Coroner's jury ordered them held for trial on a charge of wilifal murder. They refused to betray the prin- cipal in the case; but the latter, overcome by remorse and apprehension, committed suicide on the night they wera lodged in jail. His wife, a society queen and weal- thy in her own right, became a raying maniac, and is now an inmate of an asy- lam near Bristol. Drs. Jones and Richards were placed on trial for their lives, the prosecution being assumed by tbe Crown. Almost hercu- lean efforts were made to send both men to the gallows, but the previous high standing of Dr. Jones had created stron sympathy in his behalf. The trial Iasted a week, and in the end the two prison- ers were convicted of manslaughter. The presiding Judge was less disposed toward leniency, and a month ago to-day sentence was pronounced. Dr. Jones, suthor, lecturer, humanita- rian, leader of his profession and society 1 r. was sent to penal servitude for life. Young Richards, his oupil, found a bril- liant career cut short with a sentence of five years. To-day the final words of the last chapter were written and the names of the two unfortunates blotied from the records of the profession. d NO PROMOZION 4T PRESENN. | Gossip Concsrning the Proposed zt...f tion of Archbishop Corrigan. ¥ ROME, ItaLy, Dec. 3L—Inquiry at the Vatican concerning the report that Arch- bishop Corrigan of New York was soon to be elevated to the cardinalate has elicited the information that none of the Pope's entourage expects the appointment will be made. The Jesuit element in the sacred college is favorable to the Arch- bishop's promotion, it is said, but Cardi- nal Rampolla, the Papal Secretary of State, is oppo<ed to it, not for personal reasons, but sorely because of the signifi- cance which the opposing party in the College of Cardinals would attach to the appointment. Furthermore, it is said at the Vatican that the pomination of any new Cardinal at the present time is ex- tremely unlikely. Marricd in Tondon. LONDON, Exc., Dec. 3L —F. W.

Two weeks, doctor. HaveYou any hereditary blood disease in your system? 1 believe so, doctor. Have you had boils more or less all your life? Yes, doctor. Many times I have found it in my prac- tice that boils result from some biood taint, some hereditary blood disease in the system. Boils are also due to an impov- erished condition of the system, as one may say, when you are all run down. Your blood is in a bad state; you must have a remedy that will act quickly and effectively. Your general system must be put in a healthy condition. I will writea prescription. Take nothing else. JOY'S VEGETABLE ki W : 82 I{SAPAR";“L‘A 9 .
