Hew the aensr lon met Death on the
oeaadM--Teial of the Aeeeed
Homestead Potisoner.
CaTrawTowwr, Md.. Jan. 18.-The .unu.
anal ocourrence of a quadruple exrection,
which asine very near btlng en oetaple one,
took place in the jail here shortly after
noon to-day. The history leading up to
the trtaio end is as follows: In April last a
gang of negroes waylaid Dr, J. H. Hill as
he was going on a professional visa out
his throat and beat his brains out with a
club. The murder grew out of the utet
moany of Dr. Hill In a case in whieh another
negro was killed some tse before. Fitf
teen negroeswere arrested for the crlme,
but only nine were indicted and one of
the"e was acquitted.
The other eight were sentenced to death.
Of this somber Chas, Emery, Henry HurtS,
JoashuaBaynard and Lewis Baynard were
boysof 16, and one of 18. Their seatences
were commuted by the governor to impris
onment for life, and were secretly removed
by a body of constables at night to Balti
more for fear that the enraged populace
would storm the jail and lynch them, which
they undoubtedly would have done. The
remaining four, Fletoher Williams, Frisby
Conegys. Charles Brooks and Moses Brown
were hanged on the same scaffold to-day.
Aside from the fact of the number of via.
tims the scenes attending the execution
were in no way unusual. The negroes had
a season of prayer before beginning the
march to the scaffold.
As soon as the drop fell a shout of exul
tation arose from the men who orowded
into the jail yard and surrounded the seaf
fold. -Fletcher Williams and Moses Brown
died almost without a struggle. Brooks
and Comegys went through the most ap
palling contortions. The' latter died from
strangulation and the former's death was
due to the dislocation of his neck. Old
farmers who gathered about the dying men
laughed and some even cursed the negroes.
The men died in from ten to eighteen min
utes. The heart of Williams beat seven
teen minutes, although he acted as thoagh
he died first. At 12:50 the bodies were cut
down, placed int pine offins at ones and two
express wagons conveyed them to the pot
ter's field. After the execution the people
quietly diqpetsed.
The wo rk'of` onstructing the gallbws for
eight began on Friday. It was tobe twenty
fent long and eight feet high. There weta
to be four traps, on each of which should
stand two persons. These traps were to be
operated by a lever and drop simuitane
onsly. Gov. Brown went to Cheetertown
for the purpose of seeing the prisoners and
judging for himself of their ages, intelli
gence and responsibility. The prisoners
were all brought before the governor one at
a time, and nearly all of them denied any
knowledge of the crime. Their contessions
made to justices of the peace before repu
table witnesses, and the undisputed facts
in the trial were all forgotten, and absolute
denial of everything was the course of these
unhappy creatures. After the examination
Gov. Brown said this case was giving him
more concern than any subject he has been
celled upon to consider during his term;
that he sully recognized the horrors of the
cold-blooded murder of Dr. Hill and how
unfortunate it is for the state of Maryland
and Kent county that there were so many
prisoners whose execotion was set to
occur on one day. Finally he decided to
rommute the sentences of tour as stated
above.
PITTSBURG POISONINGS.
Testimony of lIen WVho Were Sufferers
adil Their Doctors.
PlTra.noe. Jan. 18.-The court room was
crowded at the second day's trial of Hugh
Dompsey for complicity in the Homestead
poisoning. Most of the forencon session
was taken up with the examination of the
men taken ill while working at Homestead,
and their physicians. The latter all ex
press the belief that the men had been voi
soned. The defense objected to the doo
toss' testimony. The court said the pro
ceedings were somewhat irregular, but if
it could be proved that the defendant was
guilty of furnishin. poison the evidence
would be admisasabe. '1 hedistrict attorney
said he would show this fact, and the testi
mony was admitted.
At the afternoon session several wit
nesses testified to having been seized with
sudden and seveie illness after eating in
the Homesto:nd mill. Dr. H. '. McGeary,
who treatedl WVs. H. Johnston, one of the
witnesses, said arsenical poisoning alone
would produce such marked symptoms as
Johnston's case presentes . The witness
also attended Benjamin Weaver, another
wittesas, whose symptoms le said could
have been produced only by some strong
irritant poison. D1. A. P. Foglnlman, who
attended other witnesses, t stilled that the
cases uid not yield to treatment as readily
as they should have done. He said the
sympltoms in their diseases could have been
produced by some corrosive poison. On
cross-rx:smination the witness said: "Cook
ing too t in large quantities. drinkin2 water
such as the menl were not used to, and cli
matic changes would tend to' produce dis
ease similar to that which affscted the
men."

that the Takamine process was a good'

distillery malt house, where the basic prov'.

demonstrated that the process would revo..
lutionize the manufacture of alcohol.
Besides reducing the cost from 12 ceani.
to 1.8 cents]for a given quantity of alcohol;
it effects a saving of 17 cents on each bushel
of small grain. With the canpsity of one'
distillery of 8,000 bushels each day the sat
ing alone in grain is an enormous item.
Furthermore, the whisky makers have
at last found out that the Tak
amine process gives them a pow
erful weapon to defend the spirits
trade. Not only in that line, but in the
cattle-feeding branch, will a great, maving
be efected. By the old prooess the refuse
from the mashes was worth $11 per ton.
The refuse from the Takamine tubs is
worth for eattle feeding about $8 per ton
more. Another feature of the new prooes.
that is pleasing to the whisky people is
that, in the continuous running of a dis
tillery, there will be an over yield in this
process of two quarts of alcohol to the
bumhel.
A PRINCE IN 1ERRIL
7 An Attempt Matdeto Kidnap' MHoteneg.~o
-A Lively Skirmish.
BUDA PraST. Jan. 1&3.-Despite official
denials, the Pesti Herlap insists upon the
a truth of reports concerning the plot to
kidnap the prince of Montenegro. The
plot was concocted in Cettinje, the capital
of Montenegro, says thb Herlap, and was
r of clerical origin. It was discovered jnst
a before maturity, but a desperate effort was
made by conspirators to carry it into exeoun
I tion. About 200 men started for the palace
to seize the prince. Warning was received
at the palace, already doubly guarded, and
I all the military in the city called out. l'he
I soldiers met the conspirators a short dis
tance from the city and began firing at
once. The conspirators, who were well
i armed, returned the firs and tried to charge
through the troops, but were repulsed.
I After thirty-six conspirators were killed
and ninety wounded, the attempt to seize
I the prince was abandoned. Home thirty of
Ithe uninjured were arrested and the rest
I fled. Subsequently twenty-eight priests
re e arrested for having led in the forma
tion and attempted execution of the plot.

tion as theainceesor of Charles Foster,
the feelisn is deep and strong that in
te present condition of the treasury it

WMhington as to Mr. Carlisle's primacy in

It is not as an "available" man that Mr.
Carlisle is mentioned In this connectien, it
is not a man with organization behind him,
ner. asai man able to carry this, that or the
other state, but as a man fit for the high
place and one who broadly represents all

compelled a nomination which represented
its true convictions and its higher impulses.
The suggestion of Mr. Carlisle's name re
fleets also the disposition to regard New
York as no longer "pivotal," no longer ab
solutely necessary to democratic success.
It is at last deemed practicable Lo select
candidates without reference to the ques
tion whether or not they live in New York,
and perfectly possible to carry New York

in that state.
For Sunday Opening.
WVsmecroox, Jan. 13.-The World's fair
aunday opening hearings were continued
to-day before the World's fair etmmittee.
T. J. Morgan, chairman of the Chicago
Trades and Labor assembly, spoke in favor
of Sunday opening. He has responses from
375 labor organizations, in almost every
city in the country, all favoring Sunday
opening. This was exclusive of the great
German-American Turnerbund and the
German saloon keepers of Chioago.
Rev. Dr. Donley, representing the cities
of Scranton and Wilkesbarre, Pa., pre.
sented a petition sixty-five feet in length
against 1unday opening. He read a letter
fiom Gov. Pattison exrressing hearty ap.
proval of Sunday closing, and said the
World's fair commission and the state of
Pennsylvania voted the same.
Rev. Dr. Thomas, of Chicago, agreed that
the matter of going to the World's fair on
bunday should be left to each person's con
acience. Sunday opening was not a dese
cration of the Sabbath, as assumed by the
other side. Business and pleasure were in
separable from any great movement or en
torprise, but the fair was not a business
project or a vast show. The fair was a
school and church for the exhibition of the
nature of man's progress and appealed to
the intellectual and moral life of the
nation.
House Proceedings.
WAsmIINOTON, Jan. 13.-The republioans
filibustered all day against the considera
tion of the private war claims bill with the
result that nothing was accomplished.

mitteeo on printing, reported a concurrent
lesolation for printing 6),000 copies of the
report of the agricultural department on
the sheep industry and diseases of cattle
for distribution by senators and represents.
tives. Richardson hadil read by the clerk
the following slip, which he said was in
scrted in some books seut out by the agri.
cultural departmeut: "This book isiuaile.i
to you by J. M. Rusk, seoretary of agricul
ture." Congress had d assed a law pobib
iting the heads of departments from send
ing out publications of the bureau with
"oompliments." This action of the seore
tary of agriculture was an evasion of the
law. The resolution was agreed to.
To Protect Seals.
WAennioTow, Jan. 18.-Senator Sherman.
from the committee on foreign relations.
reported back his bill to extend to the north
Pacific ocean provisions and statutes for the
protection of seals and other four bearing
animals. The bill waspaseed. Sherman in
making the report explained that in view of
any judgment which may be made by the
tribunal of arbitration next summer in re
gard to the seal fisheries it will be necessary
to authorlze the president to extend the
iresent law, which only applied to Bering
sea and the north Paoifo ocean.

Both his hands were bound with strips of

White the seuonds were preparing for the
contest, La went to Allen's oar
nor and showed his hands. Allan
demanded that the stripe of plaste
be taken of, but Lee said he
would not fight if they were removed. Allan
withdrew his objection and the men agreed
on Fank Freiman for referee. A talkatie

if he was dissatisfld he could get hil

bhout of approval drowned the kieker's re
ply, and the men stripped for battle. loe
looked bulky and was a little tller than
Allan. Allan looked bil for a man weigh
ing 146 pounds, but the weight was right.
The first round opened with both sme
sparring clutiously. In attempting to get
way Allan resolved a heavy left upper Aet
in the wind. A clinch followed in which
Allan boat the devil's tattoo on Paddy's fat
covered rlbs with his right. When they
broke away the referee warned Allen iot to
strike again in a linobh. Allan claimed
that he had a right to strike as longl a h
did not have hold of his man. They were
sparring again after the cllnoh lopi.k g for

end the big Sellow grunted very a ybl,.
Both of them- lookdtl-" ltllhrl-ose of
the round.
Next came the rousd in which befell a
peauliar accident to Allan and one perhaps
whioh sever happened before to a prise
fighter in the ring. The men went at it
savagely. Lee's blows were slow, but when
they landed seemed to have considerable
force. Allan fought him back hard. ' he
blood commenced to flow from Lee's month
and there was a look of distreg on his face
after he ruehed Allan to the ropes at the
back of the stage where Allan fell. He got
up unhurt and commenced to mix it. It
looked to the spectators as if Lee was al
most gone. He made a great rally and
Allan was forced to the ropes near
his own corner. Lee landed a left on his
mouth, and Allan, aided with the impetus
of the blow. fell to avoid an uppercut. His
head struck one corner of a resin box,
used for the fighters' snoes, which his see
onds had overlooked and had failed to take
out of the ropes. He lay with his head out
side the ring with Lee standing over him.
One of Allan's seconds started to picok him
up and was met with a savage slesh from
Lee's right hand which, fortunately, went
over Bid Huntington's head as he ducked.
The referee approached Allan also,
and jumped back from a right
swing made by Lee, who seemed
to have lost his head and looked infuriated.
In the noise that ensued no one could tell
whether the timekeepers were cosating
Allan out or not. The entire audienee
stood up on chairs to get a better view.
After fully twenty seconds had elapsed Lee
advanced to the footlights and waived his
hand in the air for silence which was in
stantly accorded him. He said: "rve
been in bed three days, a sick man. I
weigh 164 pounds and should have founht
at 145 to be in condition." He started for
his corner, tottered around and fainted
in his seconds' arms. He came to
in a minute and was led of
the stars to his dressing room. Allan was
still unconscious, his seconds holding him
up in a partly standing position and spray
ing hartshorn up hie nose. He was car
ried off in the arms of his seconds to his
dresslng room where he recovered oon
sciousness about ten minutes after his pe
onliar knock out. he accepted the result
in a game spirit when he learned what had
happened. Dressed only in his fighting
trunks and shoes, he was sitting in a big
easy chair presenting a splendid specimen
of human development. There was
not a mark on him except a
lump on the back of his head where it
struck the resin box. 'This is my first ex
perience of a knock out," he said. "What
did you mix it for?" asked Huntington.
"I wanted to," he replied. "He never hurt
me at all when hbe hit moon the mouth near
my corner. I want to flght him again."
They rubbed has head with liniment and
gave him a good stiff drink of imported
brandy flavored with lemon. He inhaled a
big breath and stood ut. "I'm all right."
he said. His late adversary was ushered in.
They shook hands, something whichpuasled
the unitiated to the waysof pugilists. They
had no hard feelings. All their differences
had been settled in the ring. Allan handed
the brandy bottle to Paddy and told him
not todrink too much of it, for it was im
ported. Paddy felt the lUeD on Allan's
head. The sebonds told him about the
resin box Paddy said he had noticed it
and had wondered why the seconds had
left it in the corner. He said to Allan, "If
ithad lasted another round, old man you
would have put me out 1 was weak." "I
was as strong as a bull," said Allan. Allan
was dissatisfied with the outcome, wpe
oially to think that he had lost
the fight in the way he did and
challenged l.s for another contest for
twenty rounds, which was accepted on the
spot, and the date fixed for January 20.
Oharler Pearsel., who is matched to meet
Kid Gallagher on the 37th, and a number
If people prominent in sporting circles, had
boxes and front seats. They were unani
mous in their expressions that it was a
square contest. The purse was *100.
