CRUSHEDJO DEATH.
Attendants at the Rochester
Insane Asylum Kill a
Negro Patient.
They Knock Him Down and
Jump on Him With Their
Feet.
An Eye-Witness Silenced by
Being Threatened with
Death,
And the Awful Affair Kept
From the Public Two
Months.
Special to the Globe.
Rochester, June I.— August Beck
man aud Edward Peterson, residents of
tin.- county, and former attendants at
the Second insane hospital in this city,
are under arrest and confined in the
county jail, charged with the murder of
Taylor Combs, a negro patient in the
ward under their charge. Coroner
Mosse, of this county, had just finished
the reading of "Very Hard Cash," when
he was called upon to investigate a
startling illustration in real life of the
facts set forth in that .famous novel.
Combs' death occurred uuder suspicious
circumstances on April 1. Supt. Bow
ers called Coroner Mosse to investigate
the matter on April 2. A thorough post
mortem examination was held, which
developed a scalp wound on the back of
the head, the skull and brain being un
injured; also a large bruise on the back
of the left hand. On moving the breast
bone it was found
FUACTI'KED AND CRUSHED
in over the heart, and a large blood clot
had partially filled the chest. This
fracture of the sternum, or breast bone,
and internal hemorrhage had caused
his death. Further investigation made
at the time brought out a story from the
two attendants "that Combs had fallen
from a scaffold in the ward while
washing the ceiling; that he had
told them of his fall, and that
they had put him to bed, and asked him
if lie desired to see a physician, to which
he said he did not. He apparently fell
asleep, but, upon trying to arouse him
some time later, it was discovered that
he was dead. From that story they did
not vary, and it appeared at that time
that there were only two otlier wit
nesses (two insane patients in the ward)
who could not be made to tell a
coherent story. But later develop
ment show that a painter, one John
Date, employed in the hospital, had
witnesed what was in reality the mur
der of the patient. This came to the
knowledge of the superintendent and
Coroner Mosse, who interviewed Date
and elicited the following blood
curdling story: Date came into the
ward in the morning and found
Combs in a surly mood and muttering to
himself. Ashe desired him to work,
Date'pacified,'him with a plug of tobacco
and set him to work washing off a ceil
ing in company with two other patients.
At about a quarter of eleven, Date saw
August Beckman, the attendant, com
ing down the warn pushing and strik
ing Combs. Taking him into the cloak
room, Beckman
KNOCKED HIM DOWN,
and began choking him, at the same
time calling the other attendant, Peter
son, to "pitch in," which lie did. be
laboring Combs with a cane, which was
broken to pieces, alter which he ook at
maple mop stick and pounded him into
insensibility. They then ceased their
maltreatment, through fear, Beckman
exclaiming "My Ged! We have
killed him." Combs finally came
to, however, and being ordered
into the wash room to remove traces of
the affair, he attempted to do so, but
staggered a.iound. again provoking the
attendants, who once more knocked
him down and jumped on his chest,theu
prohablv inflicting the injury from
which he died. He was again ordered
up and made to go up the ward, but had
not gone far when he was again
knocked down and pounded with
the mop stick. The two inhuman
attendants finally, after three-quarters
or an hour of maltreatment, allowed
Cobms to lie on a mattress that was in
.lie ward, where he died at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon. They then saw Supt.
Bowers and told the story of Combs'
falling from the scaffold, intimidating
Date into silence by threats of his life
if he opened his mouth. Dr. Bowers,
suspicious of their story, immediately
discharged the attendants, aud, on
learning of Date's knowledge of the
affair, immediately swore out a war
rant for their arrest, which was effected
yesterday afternoon. Combs was in
dustrious, but a hard patient to manage,
necessitating strict discipline. He was
brought to the asylum from Stillwater,
where he was serving out a thirty-year
sentence for an assult on a five-year
old girl. The attendants will be brought
before the grand jury next week, where
further facts will be elicited.
BROUGHT THE BODY HERE,
But Nobody Suspected a Murder
Had Been Committed.
Combs was thirty-seven years old and
ins body was brought to St. Paul for in
terment on April 4. Combs was the
son of J. Combs, of the Union depot,
who says he was sent down for rape
over nine years ago, and had been in
the asylum about two years. He re
members the body of his son arriving
here, but did not suspect anything wrong
and did not notice any marks of
ill-usage or bruises on the body. Dr.
Bowers had the occurrence registered
at the health office, assigning "accident
and internal hemorrhage." as the cause
of death. H. 11. Schroeder was the
undertaker who laid the body out. and
he says he remembers nothing ' that
would indicate anything crooked, but
admits that he did not embalm the
body himself. Taylor Combs' record is
not a bright one. July 13, 1809, he was
arrested for ravishing a woman, and
was given twenty years in Stillwater
on Oct. 6of that year. Gov. Austin par
doned him in 1871. Only a few months
after his release he forced an entrance
to a dwelling in the night and
was sentenced Sept. 24 to four
years at Stillwater. Nine years
ago he was sent down for
thirty years for ravishing a little girl.
At the probate court there is no record
of his removal to Rochester, and it is
thought he was sent there on a warrant
from the Washington county judge of
probate. Those who know Dr. Bowers
speak very highly of him asagentleman
of high attainments and an able officer,
conscientious in the discharge of his du
ties. Gov. Merriam was astounded at
receiving the news of the murder and
at once held a conference with
Secretary Hart, of the state board of
charities and corrections, who was as
thunderstruck as the governor. The
result of the conference ' was
the sending of a telegram to
Rochester, asking for information.
Neither the governor nor Mr. Hart could
believe the story, thinking the asylum
authorities were above suspicion, and a
murder of such a nature, occurring
many weeks ago, could ...not
have been .'•. kept . so long hushed
up. A reply to -\ the telegram
was received yesterday afternoon, In
timating that there was considerable
foundation for. the story, and . that ! a
thorough investigation was being held.
Gov. Merriam instructed Mr. " Hart to
push the investigation so as to have
the matter thoroughly sifted. It is
likely that Mr. . Hart will !go down to
Rochester, but he would give no inti
mation of his intentions. It is evident,;
however, that he will have to do some
thing about it at once.

THE OLD-TIME LITTLE GIRL.
She Was Quite Different From the
Small Young Lady of To-Day, If
the Headers Tell It True.
Zeuas Dare in Time.
The pert, flippant manner* of the
schoolgirl and schoolboy of to-day is no
doubt partly due to the style -of dress
worn by children of the present time,
and to the kind of matter now found in
the readers used in our public schools.
If any thinking person will browse
around In his or her attic and find a
school reader of forty years ago, the dif
ference between it and the reader of to
day will be seen at once. The marked
difference in the style of dress will also
be revealed, and there can be no doubt
if that chaste ami graceful and beauti
ful garment, the pantalct, / could again
be worn by the children and ladies of
to-day it would bring with it a degree
of misery that would decrease the gid
diness of our young people, and
if to the pantalct could be added
the shaker and slat sunbonnet and
simple gown of forty years ago, a sub
dued feeling would b.- experienced by
the females who wrote them. And if
the male youth of to-day could be clad
in the simple ." barn-door " trousers and
the jeans round-about his grandfather
wore "when a boy, he would be less
frisky and flippant than he is in the
graceless knickerbockers and blouses
and giddy jackets of the present.
The maiden of ten years would then
converse with her mother as she did in
the reader of our grandmas, which was
after this fashion :
Little Jane— Good morning, mother.
Is it not a beautiful day? How merrily
the little birds sing! All Nature seems
to rejoice. I have risen early that 1
might rejoice also.
Mother— That was right, my daughter.
You should in youth form the habit of
rising early, for slothfulness is a sin.
Always be diligent, my daughter. The
unoccupied mind is the one most sus
ceptible to evil influences. It is indeed
a beautiful day; but have you thought
of who it was that made all the beauti
ful things you see around you?*'
"Indeed I have, dear mother; and I
have come forth to glorify Him. Will
you not repeat to me that beautiful
hymn beginning with:
Vile worms are we, unfit to live,
Our bins too great to .eh ;
If we but had out just deserts,
We now wonld be in hell."
"With pleasure, my child; but, on
second consideration, would it not please
you to wait until we return to the
house, when I shall sing it all for you
and you shall accompany me on the
melodeon, and I dare say your kind
father will consent to join -us in the
chorus." '■■'■'"■ ':'■' '"■'■ —
"Thank you, dear mother, for sug
gesting what will give me so much
pleasure. I will cheerfully wait, and
will endeavor to do my part well."
"That is right, my dear daughter.
Let your every effort be * your best. It
gratifies me to" see that your young mind
is susceptible to correct impressions,
and I trust that they may be lasting.
Remember, my dear Jane, that youth is
life's seed time."
"1 will endeavor to do so, dear mother,
and I desire to thank you for your kind
instructions. It gratifies me to be obe
dient to your wishes. Shall we not go
in now and sing the beautiful hymn you
spoke of?"
"Yes, my child. I am truly pleased
to see you so sensible of your duty.
Yes, we will now go in and blend out
voices in song. You may take my hand,
if you desire."
"Thank you, dear mother, for what is
ever a sweet privilege to me! There is
my kind papa waiting to receive us.
Let us hasten ■ _~y '
TO CLEAR THE CLAN.
Clan-na-Gael Men Want the Oath
of Secrecy Suspended.
Chicago, June I.— The many asser
tions that evidence relating to the Cro
nin murder and to an alleged huge defal
cation in Irish National League funds
had been discovered by Mortimer
Scanlan in books of the defunct
Traders' bank, of this city,
while he was in charge as court officer,
were denied to-night by Scanlan him
self, who in written statement over his
own signature says all such statements
are absolutely false, and attaches' a
letter from Sheriff Matson stating
that he (Scanlan was never a
deputy sheriff, was never custodian .
of, nor in any way connected with
the effects of the Traders' bank. Upon
the truth of the Traders' bank story
have rested many of the sensational re
ports that have recently appeared as to
the supposed motive for the murder of
Cronin. Aside from this statement of
Mr. Scanlan there . have been no im
portant development in the .case
to-day. Chief Hubbard said to-night
that the police are. pursuing
the investigations with all the vigor
possible, but that the progress is slow.
J. F. Beggs, a young attorney is re
puted to be "senior guardian" of the
Columbia club or Camp 96 of Clan-na-
Gael . It was by this camp, rumor has
it, that Dr. Cronin was tried for trea
son in star chamber proceedings. The
police, it is said, have been for some
time laboring to collect evidence to con
nect Camp with the removal of Cronin.
Mr. Beggs was seen by a reporter this
afternoon and questioned as to his con
nection with the Clan-na-Gael, etc. He
said the oath of the order prohibited
him from giving any information about
members or as to the position oc
cupied by himself. Referring to
statement made by Luke Dillon, of
Philadelphia, that the chief executive
of the order would be asked to remove
the pledge of secrecy from members,
that the organization might clear itself
of the charges which have been made
against it in connection with the case,
Mr. Beggs said he hoped the oath
would be suspended, and added if
the Clan-na-Gael does not acquit itself
in connection with this crime it would
be wrecked and the Irish cause in
America will perish with it. If the
oath of secrecy should be suspended he
is confident the order will instantly be
acquitted of complicity in the crime, as
its members and books would make it so
plain that the Clan-na-Gael, as an order,
had nothing to do with murder that such
a thing would never^be thought of again.

YANKEESWITH NERVE
Our Commissioners Hold
Their Own in the Samo
an Confab,
Granting Few and Obtaining
Many and Important
Concessions.
Samoan Autonomy Aimed at
by the United States
Conferrees.
The Treaty About Ready for
Ratification by the
Powers.
Berlin, June I.— After the seventh
plenary sitting of the Samoan confer
ence, held Wednesday last, the Ameri
can commission was in a position to
cable to Secretary Blame the definite
acceptance by the German and English
governments of the Washington propo
sals limiting the German indemnity and
Samoan rights to levy inmort duties
and some of Mr. Blame's amend
ments to the clauses relating to
the internal ; Samoan policy. The ;
Washington government, aiming at the
possible independence of the Samoans,
has not the sympathy of the German
official mind, which better comprehends
measures to protect European interests
and to extend European influence ; but,
after slight hesitation, the German
commissioners have invariably yielded
whatever concessions America asked in
the direction of Samoan autonomy. On
the other hand, the Americans have
conceded practically nothing, adhering
to their original claims. Some show. of
conciliation was made toward the close
of the conference by the Americans
leaving the appointment of the first res
ident judge of the European community
to England. In official circles here
yyyyy IT is 'surmised -
that as Chief Justice Coleridge will
have the power to appoint the judge,
the known personal relations of the
chief justice with America had some
thing to do with the American commis
sioners' concession. The general re
sults of the conference do not afford the
foreign office and the official press a
theme for congratulations. On the con
trary, there is a visible irritation over
the delay in the conclusion of the treaty
negotiations. Semi-official papers ask
why, the references being practically '
concluded, the Washington government
postpone the giving of orders to
sign the treaty. The truth is, no
especial honor will accrue to
the German government from the
result of the conference, so it does not
wish the matter to he kept before the
public. The feeling in official circles
undoubtedly is that, Germany having
yielded everything demanded by the
Americans, the government at Wash
ington ought to assent to a prompt con
clusion of the matter. Some slight
suspicion even exists, though entirely
outside of the conference, that the
American delegates have attributed de
lays to their government which in some
instances _ •
WERE DUE TO THEMSELVES.
They are having a good time here and
. have not specially striven to accelerate
the settlement of the questions at issue.
Obviously, a suggestion like this arises
from a desire to bury the issues of the
conference out of sight of the public as
soon as possible. Secretary Blame's
instructions to sign the treaty are ex
pected in the course of next week.
Since a completed draft of the treaty
has been cabled to Washington no ad
vices have reached the commissioners
indicating the likelihood of a further
reference to y the conference. The .
Cologne Gazette affirms that recent
crown councils decided that the
SEVEREST MEASURES ;y.'yy
should be taken in the event of the
strikes spreading. The temporary re
sumption of work by the miners since
the arrest of the workmen's delegates
from Bochum, has been erroneously at
tributed to fears of the government's
action. The delegates will energetic
ally carry on the agitation throughout
every coal district in Germany. It is
expected that the general elections will
be held in the autumn. Advices have
simultaneously reached the Italian em
bassy here, and the leaders of the Cen
ter party, that the pope's health is seri
ously affected. It is said that during
the recent consistory he fainted, falling
back in his chair, to the consternation
of all present. Dr. Ceccarelli, the pope's
chief physician, is reported as say

The Remarkable Sentences of an
Honest Judge Who Never Knew
. Law. .
From the New York Tribune. "'
Captain Bourke, of the army, is an
interesting story-teller and possesses a
rich fund of reminiscences and annec
dote. He was sitting in a group of
newspaper men a few nights ago dis
cussing the situation in Oklahoma and
the prospects of lawlessness and vio
lence there. - ■. ■■
"Twenty years ago," said the captain,
"1 was in Tucson. ,2.0 place was ever
worse governed. Outlaws abounded
and they did about as they pleased.
Finally the good citizens of the place—
the merchants and 'men of property
determined to bring about a reform, and
the way they decided to do it was to elect
a judge who would deal honestly with the
scalawags who were running the town
and corrupting the ' courts. . So they
chose a man. named 'Charlie' Meyers
to be judge. 'Charlie' was a drug
gist, who knewnothing about law, but.
he was perfectly | honest, and that was
the only qualification the citizens de
sired. Accordingly. 'Charlie' set up a
law dispensary in the same building
with his drug shop, and 1 , dealt out jus
tice and patent medicines with . equal
grace. Iv his court he established a li
brary of calf-bound books, consisting
chiefly of the materia medica and some
' body on Fractured Bones. .'He engaged
as an officer of the court a man who was
afraid of nothing or nobody-old 'Jimmy'
Douglas, who carried iv his leg a bullet
that lie had picked up atGettysburg,and
who . walked > with some difficulty and
with a peculiar, though ; not a graceful
limp. The * first : thing that » 'Charlie'
did was to establish a chain gan and
sentence to varions terms in its: service
every offender that was brought before
him. The shyster lawyers who had
'run' the town before 'Charlie's' incum
bency protested against this as a viola
tion of the constitution of • the United
States, . .but . they.;; protested ;in i si
lence. In fact, to protest was useless.
.The /.process ;... of ,; the Judge ;. was
rather summary, .--but y. they result
was very gratifying to the good citizens
of Tucson. -The wild, rough characters
who had ruled the* town were now en
gaged iv cleaning the .streets, and Tuc- :
son was seeing an era of prosperity that
it had not known since ' its foundation.
But if the business men were pleased,
the lawyers were proportionately 5 dis
gusted. The court . refused to recog
nize : them, and : their business - .?
was 'gone. One day, ■ however,)
one of them plucked up spirit enough,
to go before the court in behalf of his
client and demand a trial by jury. »' ; The
court was about to sentence the prisoner,
to a term in the chain-gang, when ; the
lawyer interposed a demurrer. 'My
client,' he said, 'objects to being tried
by this court on the ground of pre
judice, and demands to be tried by jury..
" 'By shury,' said Charlie. -.'What is
dot shurv?'
" 'He demands,' said the lawyer, 'to
be tried by his peers.' 'f<!
" 'Oh, he does, does he?' said Charlie.,
Veil, I sendence him .to two veeks in .
the sham-gang and 1 sendence you to
one veek. Now how you like dot trial
by shury?' and into the chain-gang the
lawyer went and. there he stayed until
his term was up." . •■ : ;
"The Quartz Rock saloon was the
most unsavory - place in Tucson. It
was a gambling hell aud resort of all the
worst toughs and criminals in the place.
One night 'Charlie' heard a knocking
at : the door of bis . house. He
had been warned that he would
be assassinated if he remained in town
and continued to preside over the court,
so he was a little cautious whom he ad
mitted to his presence. He went down

houses were provided. : v ■-. *•"'

"For wear and quality— so they are."
"Then why should Mrs. Lightfoot pay,
all extra for hers?" Hyvy -on
"Why, she won't have any other shoe
but Fitem & Co.'s because she can wear
a size smaller of theirs than she can of y
any others." ''••' ' ■:'- - ' : ! ;
Oh! but you really don't mean to say'

"Certainly, you could. You see they,
have eot a designer of patterns who is
a perfect genius, and who understands
the human foot the same as a school
master does his A __» Cs. He explained
his system to me one day, and I find lie J
is thoroughly^ posted. His idea is, -in
the first place, to abbreviate the longi
tudinal pressure forward, and then, by
propelling . the . lateral distention side
ways, he, of course, makes . the shoe a
size shorter than it would have been if
he had made it the full length."
"Dear me! How simple that seems.
And you are sure I could wear a No. 2
of this make?"
"Positive. Here is a pair. - Try them

This sounds like fiction, but it is a :
literal \ fact. - The conversation took
place just as it is written, with the ex
ception of the names. Although the
measurements of the woman's foot
called for a No. 3, she was fitted, per
fected with a No. 2. The explanation
is this: There are manufacturers who,
when ordering sets of lasts, instruct the
sellers to deliver them uustamped. The.
stamping is done in the shoe factory,
each last being marked a half size or a
size smaller than it measures. The up
pers are numbered to match \ the lasts,
and the deception is complete. - ; y y y

CLOTHIER.
Another bright and busy Saturday all through our im
mense Clothing establishment. "How is it you're always
busy?" was asked us Saturday afternoon by one of our cus
tomers. It was easily answered: "We always show the
best assortment and at the lowest prices."
yWe own our merchandise from 10 to 25 per cent less
than others, as we not only have the best Clothing buyer in
America, but plenty of money to buy . goods such seasons
as this, when trade is backward, at less than cost of manu
facture.
So with bad weather, as we had Saturday, we keep our
store busy in every department. Immense trade at small
profits is the keynote to our success.
The Blue and Black Cheviot Suits we're selling at $15
would be excellent value at $18 or $20. They're in both
Sacks and Cutaways, with Lap Seams, regular sizes, stouts
or longs. Ask for them.
If you want a Dress Suit, our $15 Worsteds will please
you; both Cutaways and Sacks, handsomely made and
trimmed, bound or unbound. Cost you $20 elsewhere.
We put in stock Saturday 200 three-button Cutaways
in Worsteds, Serges and Cheviots, worth from $28 to $35,
but as we bought them late, we give you the benefit, and
have marked them from $20 to $25. We save you at least
$8 on one of these suits. They're the very latest, and
equal to custom work.,. Don't pay a tailor fancy prices, but
take our word for it and buy one of these suits. You'll be
pleased.
We have a good assortment of Sack and Cutaway Suits
at $6, $8, $10 and $12, and save you money on any of them.
Our Hat Department is ahead of the times, and doing
more than its share of the trade. The new shades in Stiff
Hats are beauties, and are going rapidly. Tennis Caps for
Hen, Ladies or Children in all colors.
We're having a large trade in fine Flannel Shirts from
$3 to $6; not to be wondered at; more than all other stores
combined; good values at less money.
New Neckwear for summer arrived Saturday.
