VOLUME LXXVni.-NO. 26. BEDLAM LET LOOSE Kentucky's Democratic Convention in a State of Uproar. NOISE AND CONFUSION. For Hours the Chairman Is Unable* to Maintain Any Kind of Order. GOLD MEN ARE IN CONTROL. Great Struggle Ahead In the Blue Grass State for the Guberna torial Nomination. LOUISVILLE, Ky., June 25.— The Dem ocratic State Convention met here to-day for the purpose of nominating a fnll State ticket for the November election. The ac tion of the gathering or. the financial question is being awaited with interest by politicians of both parties throughout the country, and will have a marked influence upon the selection of a successor to United States Senator Joseph Blackburn, who re cently allied himself with the radical free Bilverites. At a late hour to-night it looks as though all business had come to an end for the Democratic Convention, For hours there has been nothing but noise and confusion on the part of the assemblage, which com pletely fills Music Hall. Every effort of the chairman to restore order has been in effectual. Hundreds of motions have been made, and none put to a vote, and the ses sion is one continuous hubbub. At the day session the gold advocates claim they achieved a decided victory in the election of Judge William M. Breck ner, an admirer of yellow currency, to the temporary chairmanship. The vote was 448"_ for Breckner to 320"_ for W. J. Stone. Had Stone been elected the victory could have been claimed with equal confidence, for he also was an oppo nent of free silver. The vote, it is claimed, was a test of the respective strength of the Clay and Hardin factions. The Hardin men believe that their candidate holds enough strength to win, but the Cay men say there will be some changes when a bal lot for Governor is taken. The committee on resolutions will make three reports. One of them, signed by. John S. Rhea and W. T. Ellis, declares in ; favor of free coinage. The second, signed by .1. S. Clardy and E. D. Walker, reaf- i firm* .the Chicago platform of 1892, which I is a conservative indorsement of a gold j standard, and a third, to which is affixed | the names of the other members, indorses the administration and mentions especially the names of Cleveland and Carlisle. The report signed by Clardy, and Walker also indorses the administration, but mentions no names. The committee so far has not been harmonious. With two factions of nearly equal strength to contest every pos sible point has been raised. The city is full of Republicans, who are waiting to see who is nominated. Among these is W. O. Bradley, the Republican nominee for Governor, and George Denny Jr., who recently beat W. C. Owen in the race for Congress in the Ashland district. Almost to a man the Republicans would like to see Hardin nominated, because he will present the somewhat singular spec tacle of a free-silver man running on a platform which declares for gold and in dorses the administration. Hardin.it is claimed, asked the committee on resolu tions to give him a silver plank to stand on, but the gold-standard men would not agree to sacrifice their principles and the minority report was the result. Senator Joe Blackburn is being criticized for trying to get in on the committee on resolutions after he had 1 ' been beaten for the place in his own district the Seventh. When the cierk called the Second District the chairman announced that Blackburn had received the proxy of W. T. Ellis, who ■was regularly chosen. by the delegation. The Second is a free silver district, and readily consented to the arrangement that the Senator might have a chance to use his oratory in championing the cause of the white metal. Chairman Brecker did not see it in that way, however, and sent word that he could not entertain such a proposi tion, as Blackburn was not a resident of the Second District. ' At noon John D. Carroll, chairman of the State Central ; Committee, called to order what will probably prove the most interesting Democratic convention ever held in Kentucky. Mr. Carroll said : "We are here, according to the rules of the party, to nominate delegates for sev eral important offices. Scarcely has there ever been a convention of so much im portance in this State, and on the result of this convention, depends largely our Success or defeat in 1896. We know that in union there is. strengtn and in harmony there is victory. Some of us are gold men, some of us are silver men, but all of us are Democrats. "Therefore in the interests of the party let us stand together, silver and gold, shoulder; to shoulder, in order to defeat the common enemy of us." „ Nominations for temporary chairman being next in order, Judge William M. Breckner and ex-Congressman W. J. Stone of Lyons . County were placed in nomina tion. The roll-call was watched with much interest as the vote was a test vote, Breck ner being the Hardin man and Stone, the Clay man. An estimate shows that Breck ner received 4GO votes; necessary to a choice, 440. The test vote resulted as fol lows: Breckner (Hardin) 448>_, , Stone (Clay)32oJ_; necessary to a choice, 440. : Judge r Breckner, in taking his place as chairman of the convention, said: . . "I do not take the result of this ballot as a compliment to myself. The gentleman I have seen fit to represent in this conven tion has won the fight. We have met here at a time when the return of prosperity is vindicating the Democratic party; Every thing is happening just as the Democrats said it would. Let us have harmony. I heard a man once say: 'Why can't the Democrats act in harmony as the Repub licans did?' 7We are not built that way. The Republican convention was dictated by a boss. We have no collars about our necks. ■ We are . not afraid to . face -•' our record." J. K. Schrader, William Cromwell and The San Francisco Call. James E. Stone were elected secretaries of the convention. The list of committees was then sent to the clerk's desk, after which the chairman announced the mem bers-at-large of the committee on resolu tions as Judge William Lindsay and J. B. Clardy. Mr. Lindsav is a strong gold ad vocate, while Mr. Clardy is a free-silver admirer, but has not yet determined whether he wants a 16 to 1 ratio. The convention then took a recess until 8 P. M. Music Hall was packed when Chairman Breckner called the convention to order this evening. A brilliant assemblage filled the boxes and a greater part of ; the stage, many of the ladies wearing evening dress. The convention plunged into dis order over a resolution offered by Wallace of Louisville, declaring it unAmerican to discriminate against any man or woman because of their religious preference. The chair referred the resolution to the com- mittee on resolutions, according to the custom. Several of the anti A. P. A. dele gates insisted on the resolution being put to the convention, but instead a rule was adopted that all resolutions go to com mittee. The convention was turbulent. A dozen delegates were on their feet at once shout ing for recognition. The chairman lost all control of the assemblage and for an hour it was impossible to maintain order. Fin ally J. P. Helm, chairman of the committee on permanent organization, reported Con gressman J. S. Berry for permanent chair man, James E. Stone for secretary and Edward McGrath for SCTgeant-at-arms. The report was adopted. In assuming the chair Mr. Berry said : "The Republicans have been endeavor ing to persuade the people that all the hard times were caused by the.Democratic party, when they were caused by their own iniquities. We have some differences about the currency, but let us make a united front and down the Republicans. Let us move shoulder to shoulder to triumph in November such as shall teach them a lesson." Then a motion to adjourn until 11 o'clock to-morrow morning was made by the Clay men, and bedlam broke loose again. The clerk was an hour calling the roll, and it was half an hour more before quiet could be sufficiently restored for the chairman to announce the result 6ll noes to 217 ayes. After the announcement the disorder increased. A hundred motions were made, but the chairman recognized nobody. Word was sent to the chair that the committee on credentials would not be ready to report until midnight, and he an nounced no ousiness would be transacted until the members were properly seated. The convention, however, kept up a con stant yelling, interspersed with catcalls and cries of "Mr. Chairman." They might as well have appealed to a post. The chairman expressed a belief that it would be impossible to go on listening to nobody, and sat at the table writing a letter. A more extrordinary scene has seldom ever been seen in a convention. • r .. -v -. .>:• The monotony was broken at last by a speech from C. K. Bronston of Lexington, who endorsed the administration. Every,, reference .to :. Groveir ' : Cleveland brought forth great cheering, but", when the free silver men found ; he was trying to further Clay's candidacy for Governor, they made such a noise he could no. longer proceed. Then they shouted lustily for Blackburn, but he did not appear. - The committee, on credentials, through its chairman, "Little" Phil Thompson, made its report at this point and things quieted down, A minority report was also submitted. At 12:30 the convention was still in session and trans acting no business. At 1:30 a. m. the convention adjourned until to-morrow without having accom plished anything more. OF . GREAT IMFORTAXCE. Issuea to Be Decided by the Freaent Con- rention. LOUISVILLE, Ky., June There are several reasons why to-day's assemblage is second to no political gathering ever called together in the State. It is the first time the Republicans have ever had a fighting chance to elect a Governor, and the Democrats feel the man they choose to run against W. 0. Bradley must be one of more than ordinary popularity and possess ing unusual qualifications. '.'•': ':'■!' The beginning of the split in the ranks of the Democrats began in the Ashland district when the friends of 'W. C. P. Breckinridge : knifed Owen at the polls. Much bitter feeling was engendered, and the division commenced at Lexington and spread throughout the State. The rock that the Republicans look to for their salvation is the one upon which the Democrats are, expected to split the money question. Whatever the conven tion should do on ' the currency question, and it is not difficult to predict its course, there is bound to be more or less friction caused by the resolutions. There, is a strong free-silver feeling in the State led by Senator Blackburn, but in this conven tion the gold advocates are largely in the majority. Besides a Governor, this convention will select a Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction, Attorney-General, Auditor, Register of Land Deeds and Commissioner of Agriculture. It will take -at least two days to finish the work and probably three or four. The organization of the committee on resolutions, which is com posed of one man from each of the eleven districts, and two at large, to be appointed by the chair, shows a majority of gold men in the committee. Of the thirteen mem bers, eight are gold advocates and five are for free silver. Joseph C. S. Blackburn was beaten by twenty votes in the Seventh District by Arthur Yeager, a gold man and a friend of Secretary Carlisle. Blackburn's chances for the United States Senatorship are now said to be at the lowest ebb. If anything were needed to establish the fact that this convention is overwhelmingly in favor of the gold standard the district conventions have done .the- work. The silver men ascribe the sudden revulsion of feeling in Kentucky from silver to gold to the cam paign made by Carlisle and to ex-Governor Buckner's letter in favor of the gold standard. They claim the victory for the gold men is only temporary and that Ken tucky will wheel " into line as a free silver State in 1896. 7 . Suicide of a Merchant. NASHVILLE, Term., June Edward H.

SAN .FRANCISCO, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 26, 1895. DEFENDED BY TRUMBO Interests of the West Ably Championed' at Cleveland. FIGHT FOR WHITE METAL '-. ;■ 7- * v_. -7 >'v*7'-t7 W7-'< Success of the Silver Leader's Tactics at the Republi can Convention. UTAH MAY NEXT HONOR HIM. When Admitted to Statehood She Will Probably Choose the Col onel as Senator. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 25.— 1n its edition of this afternoon, the Cleveland World, edited by Hon. R. P. Porter, super intendent of the eleventh United States census, has this to say concerning Colonel Isaac Trumbo of Utah, than whom no visi tor to the late league convention made a more favorable impression: There was one man at the convention who not only made himself heard, seen COLONEL ISAAC TRUMEO. [From a photograph.] and felt, but who did it in such a manner as to leave a pleasant and lasting memory. This man was Colonel Isaac Trumbo ; of Utah, whose acquaintances and 'friends are legion, and whose individuality is such that in the future no political gathering of National importance will be complete without him. The colonel was made chairman of a committee composed of Senator Carter of Montana, Senator Clark of Wyoming, Senator Dubois of Idaho, and Messrs. Allen of Utah and Carr of Colorado. This committee was made up early in the life of the convention by delegates from the Western silver States. It was to be a sort of steering committee for the silver fight, not only in the committee, but npon the floor of the convention, if neces sary. That so much was attained is due to this committee and to the tireless and able efforts of its chairman. Colonel Trumbo. Outvoted as they were, and as they were bound to be at every point in committee and in the convention itself, bothered by hotheads in their own ranks, who were ever ready to foist a fight at the slightest provocation, it required all the keenness, all the ability, all the astuteness and all of the persuasion that Colonel Trumbo and his fellow- committeemen were able to command to prevent the adoption of an anti-free; silver plank or a straddle which was deemed everywhere as bad. Colonel Trumbo is one of those West erners who know how to fight and how to plan for a fight. He did not sit on the top of the Hollenden Hotel and proclaim his plans to the multitude, but he and his fellow-committeemen kept their council and made the gamest fight that has been seen in this town for many a long day. And they were more successful than they had any right to expect with so strong and determined a majority against them on every side. The fight of the silverites was a defensive campaign and was managed as such from the beginning. They were de termined that the right of way should be kept open to the end that a strong ana un hampered effort could be put forth in next year's great convention, and ■'.. in this they were eminently successful. In a speech before the committee on resolutions, favor ing a free silver plank, : Colonel Trumbo said: ■'■ _;.-;■• •._; -7 '-.r- /- 7' : \'7 "The experience of «enturies vindicates the charge that the demonetization of sil ver has wrought havoc in ; all nations. Turning to the gold standard with the claim that we favor "sound money does not lessen the burden vof life, nor convince those who toil from early morning till dark ; that they are not being despoiled of their rightful share of products and wealth their labor is ever yielding to the world. If ?we would ' maintain prestige \ of . party and i continue C the ; love for ■ it so long ex pressed by the ballots of the people of the ; "United* States, then we shall; give to the people the relief they ask for and restore them the bimetallic standard under which they so long prospered." Colonel Trumbo is one of the live men of the Territory of.Utah, *y He is putting forth every effort to make it a State in time to cast a vote in the - next Presidential con test. ' In case Utah is thus admitted, which from present indications seems very prob able, Colonel Trumbo will, without doubt, be the first Senator. He was certainly one of the strong men in the . late convention, and with his energy and combativeness, he will ; do ' much to bring Utah to ' the high privilege of statehood, and to keep her upon the high plane, after that had been attained. Best of all he bears honors modestly and deprecates any allusion of enthusiastic friends to the Vice-Presidency, saying the first thing is to get Utah into the Union. When' this is brought about and the new State honors him 1 by sending him to Washington as the first Senator the people will have a leader of whom they may be proud. . SUCCEEDS A DEFAULTER. TJtomas Strobe Appointed City Treaa urer of Otnnha. OMAHA, Nebr., June 25.— a special meeting of the City Council this afternoon the resignation of Henry Bollen, City Treasurer, was s received and accepted. This result came from the scandal over the administration of his office. A meeting of his bondsmen yesterday had no immediate result as his friends were in control. Comp troller Olsen made a statement to the Council, in -which he said: On June 18, according to the books, there is said to be $27,683 25 cash on hand. There was found in the drawer $1854 23 in cash and $30,757 52 in " cash items," such as checks, "I. O. U. slips" : and assign ments of warrants from city employes, making a total of $32,611 75. He could not, he said, account for the fact that if all the "cash items" were redeemed there would be an overplus of cash.7"Slips" amounting to $4677 15 had already been taken up. There were still in the drawer $24,126 14 in slips. The actual shortage of cash was $21,151 87, of which he considered $4000 to be good, as he held in his office assignments of salary warrants for it. After the warrants ' were issued and he -had turned them into the treasury, the shortage would be about $12, --000. At the meeting of the City Council to-night Thomas Swbbe was appointed City Treasurer by the Mayor. His con firmation will be fought. YELLOW FEVER IS RAGING Men Die by the Score in the Ports of Rio and Santos. All the . Crews of Some Vessels Perish and Seamen Are Hard to Obtain. BALTIMORE, Md., June 25.— American * barkentine Priscilla, Captain Klagcs, arrived to-day from Rio and San tos with a cargo of 14,254 bags of coffee. Captain Klages reports that when the Priscilla left Santos May 12 : the yellow fever was raging on every side and the scenes in the city and harbor were harrow ing. Men were dropping dead in the ! streets, dying !by scores in the city - and on the vessels in port. Some of the vessels had their flags at half-mast day after day. For weeks many of their crew succumbed to the scourge. The death-boat was being rowed about the harbor night and day, from ' vessel to vessel, collect ing the dead •- and taking • them ■ to shore for burial. Some of the vessels had only one or : two men left of '<■ their entire crews, and many of ) them were unable to get away from the pesthole of • fever owing to a lack of men. Seamen were scarce, and when the vessels : lost ;• their crew it was with the greatest difficulty that men were secured to .take their places. : Captains of vessels had to exercise the greatest caution to prevent their crews deserting -or -; being lured ashore by the boarding-house and shipping masters. . ; ; i &• "■ ] J. M. Gale,"' the first officer of the Pris cilla, was stricken with yellow fever. while in the harbor of Santos. He was removed ashore, and was sufficiently recovered : to be taken aboard when the vessel sailed. Bualneaa Men'a Meeting. ■■* MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June v. 25.— A convention .of f business men from nearly ', all of the river J towns between here and- New Orleans is *in ;' progress here ; to : day. The object of the gathering is to discuss the project of opening the Mississippi tor navigation up to the extreme northern portion fof ; Minnesota. /"Congress will ■be memorialized '': to make an ; appropriation for this purpose. 1 77 - : NOW HE IS PREMIER Lord Salisbury Accepts 'the Task Imposed Upon Him. THE FOREIGN PORTFOLIO Also Taken by the Man Se lected to Unravel the Tangle. MEMBERS OF THE NEW CABINET Duke of Devonshire, Balfour, Cham berlain, Hicks-Beach and Goschen Selected. LONDON, Eng.. June Lord Salis bury to-day. accepted the task of admin istering the government in a purely min isterial capacity, pending an appeal to the country. It is now known that he refused to take the office unless the work in Parlia ment was limited to a vote on the supply and other non-contentious business, with dissolution to follow as soon as possible. It is not true 1 that he endeavored to ob tain pledges from the Liberal leaders that they refrain from obstruction or other embarrassing policy in the House. His conditions of acceptance were declared only to the * Queen herself, and it is understood she gave assurances that she would dissolve • Parliament the moment the Liberals und'„took to block routine business. It is not, therefore, as a leader of the Conservative party Lord Salisbury to-day accepted the office, but rather in the capacity of a non-partisan administrator of an interim government. . His coalition Cabinet . will be gazetted at ■ once, r There will probably be a few days' ..; delay, in Parliament, owing to the necessity of a re-election of new Ministers before they can again' take seats in the House. This delay in the cases of Balfour and Chamberlain will be very short, be cause they will be returned unopposed by their constituents. , The United Press learns that Lord.Salis bury, besides becoming Prime ; Minister, will take the foreign portfolio temporarily. He has made overtures to the Marquis of Dufferin to resign his present office of Britisn -Embassador- to France, and be come Secretary of State for Foreign Af fairs. ' "7*': ; 777" 77* 7 -:_ Uiim'&'Tii i 7-:' i: 7 The members of the new Ministry,- so far as they, have been selected, are officially announced as follows: Prime Minister and Secretary^ of .State for ■ Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of ..Salisbury: Lord Presi dent of the Council, the Duke of Devon shire; First . Lord of the 7 Treasury, ': Right Honorable Arthur James Balfour; Secretary of State for the Colonies, Right Honorable Joseph Chamberlain ; , Chan cellor of the Exchequer, Right Honorable Sir Michael Hicks Beach; First Lord of the Admiralty, Right Honorable George Joachim Goschen. , ', vi The other places in the Ministry have not as yet been definitely allotted. The Daily News willsav to-morrow: The result of : Lord Salisbury's double appointment will be that we shall have a good . Foreign Secretary and no Premier. ; Mr. Chamberlain is the last man in the coalition who would be se lected popularly for Minister of the Col onies, but the place does not require much departmental work and Mr. Chamberlain will probably see that it will leave him time and strength for great parliamentary activity. ... The News' article expresses . surprise at the j selection of Mr. Goschen as First Lord of the Admiralty and hints that the Duke of Devonshire has taken the post of Lord President of , the Council because he is disinclined to work. The Graphic will make similar com ments regarding the Duke of Devonshire's appointment, and will express regret that Mr. Chamberlain was not made Secretary of State for War. The Morning Post will express approval of the appointments. • The Telegraph will approve the new Ministry. Truth will say that the chances of up setting the Unionist Government lie in its being formed of Conservatives and Liberal- Unionists. "Were Mr. Chamberlain elim inated,"' Truth will say, "these chances would disappear, but he is such a born in triguer that he is certain to intrigue against his colleagues if he does not get his own way in everything." The i Standard will express approval of the Ministerial appointments. It thinks there will be some surprise at the non appointment of Mr. Goschen as Chancellor of the Exchequer, but as he was not chosen for that office it believes that a better man could not be selected for the head of the Admiralty. Justin McCarthy in the House of Com mons has issued a manifesto beginning: "The defeat of the home-rule Government has placed Ireland's bitterest enemies in 1 office." Mr. McCarthy proceeds to . de- ] nounce the conservative leaders as having by. their own confession no Irish policy but that of coercion. He claims that the liberal policy of conciliation has been proved wise and practical by the present unprecedented tranquil state of Ireland. "The ', Irish party for' nine " years have stood firmly and honorably to their alliance with the Liberals— an alliance'based upon the latter's adoption of a home rule policy and have the public solemn assurances of the liberal leaders 7 that home rule shall remain '■„■_- their primary policy and shall ,be ,7; kept in .the forefront of their programme. Without a subsidy from the rich exche _her of a great empire, unlike the , Government we fight, frowned upon by the wealthy and power ful in England and Ireland, we rely ex clusively upon the > generosity and confi dence of the ever-faithful people ?of the Irish race, at home and abroad, to '; supply the ' resources necessary for an election fund."

The Porte has promised to comply with the American Minister's request. In the meantime, the United States Government having no Consul at Erzeroum, Sir Philip Currie, British Embassador to Turkey, has given permission to' Mr. Graves, the Brit ish Consul at that place, to take the mat ter up 'in accordance with the wishes of Mr. Terrill.

PARIS, France, June 25.— A sensational double suicide was committed to-day by M. Fabric Carre, the well-known barrister and playwright, and his wife. Mme. Carre was formerly the wife of a Vienna banker named Balitzer., She employed Carre as I counsel to obtain [ a divorce from Balitzer. The acquaintance thus formed resulted in her marriage to Carre. . The latter, however, had an intrigue and married ;• the ~ woman with whom he was involved, whose husband threatened to get him disbarred from > practice, Carre induced him to agree to | a duel, where upon the woman informed Mme. Carre of the intended duel with a view to preventing it. Carre entered the room while the woman was revealing the affair, and gathering from his wife's countenance that she was unlikely to forgive him, said that nothing remained for him but to kill himself. Mme. Carre replied, "Yes," and, rushing to her dressing room, seized a bottle of laudanum. Carre's secretary, who followed, snatched the bot tle away. At that moment a shot was heard, Carre had committed suicide. ; He fell in the arms of his wife and secretary. His wife exclaimed: . "I forgive you, my dear; I love you." While the secretary was wiping the blood from Carre's temples, Mme. Carre took the revolver from her husband's hand, rushed back into the dressing-room and shot her self. Both of them died in a short time. Mrs. Carre had swallowed a portion of tne laudanum before the secretary snatched the bottle. .-7777 M, Clemenceau states that he and Ber nard de'Roene were to have been M. Carre's seconds in the duel with his mis tress' husband. Carre had asked that the duel be postponed to enable him to put his affairs in order. His wife was passionately fond of him and they will be buried in' the same grave at a village near Troyes. Carre was a wealthy advocate to the city of Paris and to dramatic authors and ac tors. He had been the friend of Gambetta, Spuller and a host of distinguished men. His wife was an accomplished and re markably handsome woman. Cavalotti and. Criapi. ROME, Italy, June 25.— 1n the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Radicals introduced a motion declaring want of confidence in the Crispi Government. This was rejected by a vote of 383 to 151.

Members of the Mc Kane Gang Welcome Their Old Pal. * — CONEY ISLANDERS JUBILANT. Two Noted Gravesend . Boodlers, However, Are Yet Confined in Prison. NEW YORK, N. V., June 25.-Andrew Scott Jimson, better known as "Scotty" Jimson, the last of the Gravesend prisoners in the Kings County penitentiary, was discharged this morning, and to-day in the Coney Island resorts, which was his stamping ground before the fall of the McKane dynasty, there is merrymaking galore. Of all the Gravesend people who were sent to prison for their complicity in the ballot-box frauds of 1893, McKane, Ken neth Sutherland and Jimson retain their old-time hold upon the affections of their followers. The others, almost to a man, are regarded with coldness, if not positive aversion and contempt. Jimson was received at the penitentiary on March 26, 1894, having been sentenced to eighteen months' im prisonment. For good behavior three months were deducted from the eighteen, making a year and a quarter he had to serve. The term expired to-day. Very early this morning a line of coaches and brewery wagons, nearly a full score of the former and seven or eight of the latter, started from Coney Island for the peniten tiary. Each was filled with jubilant Coney Islanders. Arriving at the destination the coaches and wagons formed on Crown street and awaited the release of their friend. At 8 :30 o'clock the latter's brother and some others went to the office of the prison to receive him. He was brought downstairs by Deputy Warden Jones, and having donned the suit which was sent him several days ago was given the $5 which is allowed each prisoner on his dis charge. Then he was formally released. He greeted his brother and .the others warmly, shook hands with and said good 'by to the prison officials and quickly left the building. The clothing that had been provided . for him - consisted of -a slate colored suit, light straw, hat and russet shoes. When Jimson arrived at the peni tentiary fifteen months ago he weighed about 180 pounds. ' When he left to-day he tipped the beam at 210. He was ' hurried into one of the coaches, but the crowd recognized him on the instant and had he been a victorious general returning from the wars he could not have been given a more enthusiastic reception. The shouts and cheers were heard half a mile. The procession at once started toward the island. At Flatbush avenue and Malbone street, at McLaughlin's saloon, the first stop was made. Everybody piled out of the coaches and wagons and drank, not once, but many times to the health of the ■ ex-constable.
