MRS. HARRISON'S CONDITION. AFTER MOKE FUNDS. TOOK HIS LIFE. BALTZELLS.

GONE 10 HIS REWARD 1 ATTEMPT AT ROMANCE. Emmett Daltpn Says He Was an Unwilling Member there are a variety of very Broad Brimmed Felt and Velvet Hats. Fur in bands and ornaments is also one of the new styles of Trimmings. Brown prevails in so many "shades of shades" that new names have been invented by which to describe the grades from dark to light. All French as one can tell by such as Jas-seur, Beige, Champagne, Mo-dere, Tabor, Marau and Loutre, only a few of the many.

Hats will be made of Velvet, Piece-felt or Cloth with soft crowns. Brilliant "Hunter's Green" will still be a favorite combined with Buff, while Pinks shade off into the tints of the Sea Shell and Greens, Browns and Blues show wonderful and ever varying lights and shades. Many hats, even the broad-brimmed have narrow ties and a few streamers are still shown. A large number of our hats are direct importations from the great Paris Milliners, Virot, Arot, Josse and others, while many are from the best New York houses and still other conceits of our own trimmer. The children have not been overlooked in the preparation of Winter styles and many attractive novelties are shown for the dear young people in felts, velvets and laces, while the nobbiest line ever shown for boys will be displayed on Opening Day.

There will be something to suit all tastes and all pocket-books and our customers can depend upon the fact that everything is the choicest and latest, and in excellent taste. The Opening will be held on the 12th and 13th of October but there will be more to say on the subject before that day arrives. The Ladies will please remember that we will have a second fur opening on Friday and Saturday of this week, when Mr. Hill, of New York, will be with us with a handsome assortment of Furs. AGAIN the time draws near for our annual display of Fall Millinery and a few words on the subject may not come amiss to our Lady Customers.

There are always eccentricities and startling oddities among new styles every season, but putting these aside the winter headwear for '92-93 follows pretty closely one rule large 2nd medium sized Hats and tiny Bonnets, all broadened more or less by the wide Alsatian Bows, Ribbon Rosettes, Plumes Tips and Ornaments. There seems to be a race between Tips and Fancy Feathers, such as Wings and Aigrettes and even the innocent song bird has again been sacrificed to some extent on the Altar of Style. And this, too, in spite of the crusade going on in humane circles against the cruel custom. Ribbons, Satin or Gros Grain not forming the entire trimming, are extensively used in connection with velvet loops, jet buckles and jeweled ornaments. Here and there one sees huge buckles almost large enough for a while jet is principally used as a lace or fancy ornaments.

Heavy black laces have come to take the places of the heavy white ones of the Summer, while many a Jaunty Hat will have its brim softened or subdued by a covering of thick, black lace In fact some of the new colors need subduing for their shades suggest the rich heart of the Watermelon, the fierce glare of the Pumpkin and curious tints that are a' cross between Majenta and Pink. Hats of one shade are not common as vivid contrasts seem to be sought after, in which these bright colors are combined with black velvet. Of course white or cream lace will still be employed on evening Hats "and for those preferring them I TRIAL. The Jury Will Decide Upon It This Morning. MORE EVIDENCE TAKEN YESTERAY Some of It Was in the Nature of a Rebuttal Which Was Brought to Offset the Testimony of the Accused Given on Wednesday.

SOME SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE Middleburg, October 6. When court opened this morning Miss Bwengle continued to testify in behalf of her brother Charles, on trial here for the murder of his wife. The sensation of the day's proceedings occurred when Albert H. Sm'ith testified that about an hour after the death of Mrs. Swengle, Prothouotary Schoeh, the father of the dead woman, remarked to the father of the witness that his daughter was down town the evening before and Dr.

Shindel was drunk and gave his daughter an overdose of morphine, and that he had expected this to have occurred before long. The defense at this point rested their case. The commonwealth in rebuttal placed Dr. Hassinger on the stand who testified that Dr. Sbindle told him when he heard that Mrs.

Swengle had died that he sold her husband strychnine the night before and that he had labeled it. The case will go to the jury in the morning. G. W. Delamater Convicted.

Meadville, October 6. The jury in the embezzlement cases against the Dela-maters returned a verdict this morning of guilty as to Hon. George Wallace Dela-mate and not guilty as to the other defendants. Pittsburgh, October 6. Tho charge upon which ex-Senator Delamater was convicted was statutory embezzlement: that is the firm received deposits, knowing themselves to be insolvent.

Since the election of Governor Pattison and the Meadville bank failure, Mr. George W. Delamater has been practicing law at Seattle, in the state of Washington, and it has been said that he was likely to become prominent in politics on the Pacific slope. He has even been talked of for congress. The penalty is a fine of not less than the sum of money embezzled and imprisonment in the penitentiary for not less than one year or more than six years in solitary confinement and at hard labor.

A Meadville, special says: The verdict of the jury in the Delemater case find-ipg the ex-republican candidate for governor guilty of statutory embezzlement, is regarded here by both friends and enemies of the Delematers as a merely nominal vindication of the law. What little interest was left in the case outside those directly concerned, was chiefly curiosity to see whether or net the counsel for the defense would succeed in getting the formerly distinguished client out of the scrape altogether. Nobody expects that he will ever payany penalty for the irregularities of which he has been convicted. Mr. Delamater certainly does not, and he only seems to regret that the ugly fact of his conviction must go on record in the case.

Publicly his counsel announces that an appeal will be taken on exceptions to the court rulings in the trial of the case, and to test the constitutionality of the act of 1889. Privately his friends aver that the resources for the law's delays in such a case are practically infinite, and that they will be made the most of in this matter. Pennsy and the World's Fair. Harrisburg, October 6. At today's meeting of the executive committee of the World's Fait board little but routine" business was transacted.

The authorities at Chicago will be requested to set apart space for an exhibition of her methods of teaching deaf mute children. Miss Emma Garrett, of Philadelphia, was elected secretary of the committee. Encouraging progress indicated in all departments by the various reports of the various assitant commissioners. The building committee has decided that the dedication ceremonies of the state building at Chicago shall take place next May when the building is completed. A bell will be placed in the tower in imitation of that in Independence hall.

A special train with the governor and staff members of the commission and their wives, the three brigade commanders of the national guard and staff, will leave here for Chicago on the 18th for the opening ceremonies. Leaves Nineteen Children. Pottsville, October 6. George Miller, colored, of Scranton, employed by by the Trinidad Asphalt Paving company, was shot in the head at an early hour this morning by Clem Tutty, also colored, employed on the Lytle coal works. A party of four, all colored, had been playing poker and crap all night.

Toward morning Tutty discovered Miller's son in the act of giving his father points from Tutty'shand. As Miller was ahead to the extent of sixty cents, Tutty demanded the return of his money. Being refused, he drew a revolver and fired three shots at Miller, one of which entered his brain and will necessarily prove fatal. Tutty made his escape, but the police are now on his track. Miller is said to have a family of nineteen children, most of whom are living in Scranton, while he and a son were working here and living in a hovel on the heights, which has become a resort for characters of the worst type.

The burgess has made many enemies during his administration and the fight between him and a certain faction has resulted in several law suits. His friends claim that it is this that has led to his arrest and that he is the victim of a conspiracy. The matter will be ventilated at the November term of court. Can Eat Meat on iColumbus Day. Wilkesbarrb, October 0.

Bishop O'Hara, of the Scranton diocese, has issued a circular directing that services be held in all the Catholic churches on October 21st, to commemorate the discovery of America. Columbus Day falling on Friday, the bishop announces that the pope has granted a special dispensation allowing the use of flesh meat on that day. grain 6REA There Has Not Been Much Change Since Her Return to Washington. Washington. October 6.

Aside from the usual changes characteristic in consumptive cases, there has been no particular alteration in the condition of Mrs. Harrison since she was brought to Washington. Although critically ill and in a condition where a new complication might speedily prove fatal, her case is not absolutely hopeless and instances are known where persons in a similarly extremely dangerous condition have so far recovered as to enjoy comparatively health for years. Such instances are rare, however. The president's family and friends cling to the hope that Mrs.

Harrison's case may prove one of the exceptions of the rule. The great danger to be feared is the reproduction of fluid in the chest cavity, which might gatherin twenty-four hours and prove fatal, especially if the patient could not stand the operation. Mrs. Harrison's right lung is entirely consolidated, so that she has no use of it whatever. The left lung is not involved.

Although anxious for prolonged life the patient does not exhibit that cheerfulness and hopefulness that is usually so apparent in the case of consumptives. This is due to the extreme nervous exhaustion from which she suffers. Ever since the commencement of illness she has been affected, with extreme nervous prostration and this has doubtless had very much to do w4th her present condition. Tbis prostration has been the one great cause which has operated against her rallying. Her mind is perfectly clear and-she takes a certain amount nourishment each day.

It consists principally of raw eggs in a little wine and pepper. It is not from a desire to eat, however, that she takes the nourishment, but merely from a sense of duty and as a medicine. Her couehing spells are not violent and do not worry the invalid very much, except on rare occasions. Sleep duriDg the night comes to her in periods in from one to two hours at a time, and this without the aid of opiates. She has very fair nights, being restless only at times.

Two or three hours of sleep are obtained in the daytime, but is not of a refreshing character. Probably the most noticeable result of Mrs. Harrison's illness is great emaciation. Her appearance last year was that of a strong, healthy and vigorous person who did not know what is was to be ill, and the change that has come over her is said to be most pitable. Before she was ill, Mrs.

Harrison weighed 167 pounds, and it is said that she has lost during her prostration, between forty-five and fifty pounds. W. T. A. in Session.

New Castle, October 6. The various meetings of the state convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance alliance here to-day were largely attended. Mrs. Yinne Crandall, of Osceola, Tioga county, state secretary of the Young Woman's alliance, reported that the society had expended $3,000 in rescue work during the past year. A telegram of greeting was re-' ceived from Mrs.

Harry White, of Indiana county. It was decided that in the future more attention should be paid to parlor temperance socials and also to the work of carrying fruit and flowers to the sick. After some consideration of the subject the con-vention decided to petition the next legislature for the enactment of prohibitory statutes and a committee of five was appointed to take charge of this work. The annual election took place this afternoon and resulted as follows: For president, Mrs. H.

E. Campbell, of Pittsburgh; was re-elected; vice president at large, Miss Mary S. Shepherd, of Tioga; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Ellen M. Watson, of Pittsburgh; treasurer, Mrs.

S. M. Phillips, of West Chester; secretary of young women's work, Mrs. Vinne Crandall, of Tioga county; was re-elected; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Mary McEivaine, of Chester.

To-night an immense meeting was held in the opera house under the auspices of the Young Women's alliance. Mrs. Cran-dell, the secretary, made her annual report of the work for the year. Mrs. Campbell, of Pittsburg, president of the senior alliance addressed the assembly.

An entertainment consisting of recitations, singing and essays, followed. A Detective's Narrow Escape. Scranton, October 6. At 6 o'clock this morning the residence of Merchant Goodman, on Franklin avenue, was entered by burglars and considerable property taken. The police were put on the case at an early hour and suspicioned J.

B. Farrell, of Boston, of the crime. Farrell is apparently a well-educated man who came here a few days ago with plenty of money in his pocket and with apparently nothing to do. At 11 o'clock Officer Roche located Farrell in the Scranton house and put him under arrest. While about to ascend the steps of the alderman's office Farrell broke away from the officer, and, putting the muzzle of his pistol to the detective's ear, pulled the trigger.

Roche owes his life to the fact that the weapon did not work wrell. Farrell bounded away but was finally captured. On his person werg found articles stolerr-from the Goodman house and burglar tools. "Tar and Tartar." The stage settings of the "Tar and Tartar," to be at the Eleventh Avenue opera house next Tuesday evening, are fine and the ensemble picturesque and pleasing. The company is a most excelleut one.

Fred Frear, who sustains the role of Mulley Hassan, the tar who becomes sultan, is a comedian of rare powers and of infectious humor His fun-making keeps the audience in high spirits and his singing, especially his topical song, evokes much applause. The clever prima donna soubrette, Annie Myers, will be seen for the first time here in the opera. She was in the original production and created a furore by her singinh of "Dixie" during the opera's great run at Palmer's theatre, New York. William Pruette, sings the role of Carda-man, the Bedouin conspicuous character in the cast. The cast includes a number of well known artists.

The Charges Against Heber Newton'. New York, October 6. The committee appointed by Bishop Potter to inquire into the charges made against Rev. Dr. R.

Herber Newton, rector of All Souls' Protestant Episcopal church, by Dean Eugene Hoffman, of the general theological seminary, and the Protestant Episcopal clergy of New York generally, as it is understood, finished its work and sent in a report-According to the rumor the report was sent to Bishop Potter on the eve of his departure for Baltimore to attend the general Episcopal convention, and no action will be taken until after he returns, which will be in about three weeks. The members of the committee refuse to talk about the matter and it is impossible to learn whether Dr. Newton will be tried for heresy or not. More of the Cooley Gang Arrested. Pittsburgh, October 6.

A Union-town special to the Post says: Constable Wilson and Deputy Sheriff Pegg to-day arrested three more of the notorious Cooley and placed them in jail. They were Lida, Hattie and Russell, sisters and brother of Frank and Jack Cooley, the outlaws. The officers went to the Cooley homestead to search for the stolen booty of the dead men and were rewarded by the finding of an out house full of the finest quality of clothing and other articles ot great value. The officers then placed the remaining members of the family under arrest charging them with receiving stolen goods. They were brought to this city to await trial.

A River Overflows. Genoa, October 6. The Bisagno, which passes the eastern walls of the city, overflowed its banks to-day, owing to the recent heavy rains having greatly swollen the stream. The water spread over a considerable area in the vicinity of the river and invaded two courts of the Columbian exhibition, damaging the exhibits. The lower part of the city was completely flooded and it is feared that the loss resulting from the undation will be heavy.

Want to Be Naturalized. WlLKasisARRE, October 6. The Luzerne county naturalization court has been in session here since Monday last. Up to the close of court this afternoon over 800 certificates have been granted. The crush to become citizens of the United States was never known to be as great as it is this year and as many of the applications will not be reached in time some will have to return to their homes disappointed.

Introduced to the Queen. Madrid, October 6. Queen Regent Christiana to-day gave audience to Mr. Snowden, the new American minister who presented his credentials. Mr.

Snowden introduced to the queen regent, Mr. Curtis, the American delegate to the Columbus exhibition in Madrid, who bore a letter from the United States government inviting the queen regent and the young king to visit the Chicago fair. Roasted Alive. Wilkes arre, October 6. Fred Cower, a young man, one of the victims of the explosion of gas in No.

11 mine at Plymouth yesterday, died to-day. He was literally roasted alive and presented a horrible sight. The National Democratic Committee Makes a Pathetic Appeal for Campaign Funds. New York, October 6. A circular was issued this evening from the headquarters of the democratic national committee, which is addressed to the people of the United States, and says: "With abundaiit means, with subsidized ingenuity, with a body of hired professionals, drilled and experienced in political intimidation and political debauchery, our opponents are preparing a final assault upon the freedom and honesty of the ballot.

This committee has no troops of officeholders at its command. It will not agree to sell the future legislation of congress for money paid now into its party treasury. It will not agree to give high places in the people's service for money. It will not contract to uphold any bargain heretofore made by the republican party, under cover of law, for any contribution, however great We have no resources except what the peo pie furnish. We call for means not only to spread the truth Among the people and to aid in getting to the polls the full and honest vote of the masses, but also to detect, to prosecute and to punish crimes against the purity of the ballot.

Every indication points to the defeat of the Minneapolis can-didation and to the triumphant election of Cleveland and Stevenson. The popular will 'clearly favors the democratic cause: all anxiety about the state of New York is allayed and she will give her electoral vote to our candidates. All reports from independent and conservative sources in othoi' parts of the country are exceptionally promising both vigilajjce and timely action every where, which with your aid we pledge honest ballots will be' polled, counted and declared throughout the country, and if this is done, defeat is not possible. This committee calls upon all good citizens for the aid which it requires for these objects. It invites and will welcome contributions from every honest man.

GLAD FOB ANYTHING. Even Georgia's Reduced Majority Cheers the Democratic Heart. New York, October 6. There is much satisfaction at the democratic national headquarters to-day over the news from the election in Georgia beld yesterday. The big democratic majority is very gratifying to Chairman Harrity and his associates.

No force bill, no negro domination will be the democrats' battle cry to the end of the campaign. The result of the state elections in Georgia and Florida this week has convinced the managers of the national campaign more than ever that the force bill is the issue of the contest They say it will keep the south solid against all the combinations the republicans and the third party can make. The result in Georgia was an agreeable surprise to everyone at headquarters. They were confident the state would go democratic, but they expected that the usual majority would be reduced by the third party vote. Instead it appears to have been increased.

The following dispatch was received at democratic national headquarters this afternoon: Atlanta, October 6. Hon. William F. Returns now indicate democratic majority. Third party and "republicans together have less than twenty representatives out of 175 and two state senators out of forty-four.

Every congressional district gives a democratic majority. Signed W. Y. Atkinson, Chairman. Excessive Bail Alleged.

Pittsburgh, October 6. An appeal is to be made from the decision of Chief Justice Paxson to the Allegheny county courts in the matter of the amount of bail demanded for the charges of treason lodged against the thirty-three members of the Homestead advisory board. Justice Pxson merely signed the order "Ex-offlcio Justice of the Peace" in fixing the bail. The appeal, therefore, will not be an appeal from a decree from the supreme court but simply from the order of Justice Paxson as a Justice of the peace. The ground of the appeal will be that excessive bail was demanded.

Burgess McLuckie will likely be chosen as the one to make the test. The appeal will also be argued in the general act providing excessive bail on cases where the offense is bailable. This act gives the poor man just as good an opportunity to secure freedom on bail as the rich man. Now Its the Tvpe Trust. Nny York, October 6.

After several failures, the efforts of the type founders to form a combination have at last proved successful. The new trust will be known as the Type Founders company.

Democratic Election Frauds. New York, October 6. Daniel Martin, member of the national republican committee, is investigating fraudulent naturalization and colonization in this city. He says that in many cases not one-third df the men who voted last year from certain cheap hotels and lodging houses lived there at the time. He claims that the same thing is being prepared this year, and that a scheme is afoot to colonise the Italians.

Seventy lawyers have volunteered their services to prosecute all violaters of the election law coming from the lodging houses. Senator Hiscock in Washington. Washington, October 6. Senator Hiscock was in Washington to-day. He called on the president and had a talk on the political situation in New.

TO-D A. GRAND FALL OPENING A Dry Goods Man Quits the Troubles of This Mundane Sphere. Philadelphia, October 6. William M. Kunk, junior partner of the extensive retail dry goods firm of Darlington, Kunk 112G and 1128 Chestnut street, committed suicide last evening at his country house at St.

David's, twelve'miles from the city, by shooting himself with a revolver through the head. For some time Mr. Kunk had shown mental depression, an entire absence of that buoyancy which was one of his prevailing traits, and his partner, Mr. Darlington, upon his return from Europe a week ago, endeavored to restore his lost spirits. It was developed that Mr.

Hunk bad been for some time during Mr. Darlington's absence, dealing in stocks. This had been noticed by several friends. They had observed that he had changed. His very conservative habits and his circle of movements, which heretofore were confined to the work of the great Chestnut street store, and he was to be seen an arb-sorbed handler of the stock taken at the hotels.

He became a very familiar figure on Third street. It appeai-s that Mr. Kunk, whose own personal estate is respre-sented to be a very handsome one, did not make these ventures with his own funds; but, aided by the absence of Mr. Darlington, he employed the moneys of the firm to an aggregate of about 80,000. Upon Mr.

Darlington's return he made natural inquiries as to the course of business while he was abroad and was informed by Mr. Kunk that certain bills which accumulated in the interval, aggregating the total stated above, had been paid. When the discovery was made yesterday afternoon that such was not the case, Mr. Kunk went direct to his home at St. David's.

His wife was exceedingly solicitous over his condition, which was one of great depression, and tried to cheer him up. Later in the evening he wrote two letters and left them upon his library table. A shot in the direction of the stable aroused the household and the horrible discovery was made that he hadended his life. Death was instantaneous as the bullet entered the temple. The letters were addressed respectively to Mrs.

Kunk and Mr. Darlington and acquainted them with the cause of the act. It was at once evident that the unfortunate man's resort to suicide was not because of an embarrassment, because bis own estate would have made good the loss and the firm itself is too soundly based to be seriously affected by it. It seems entirely probable that the reason for the deed is to be found in his remorse that he had deceived his partner and lacked the courage to make a clean breast of his transactions. They had been associated together for fourteen years, and heretofore their relations had been marked by the utmost frankness.

One word of admission would have at once brought his partner, and more than all, his friends to his aid, but he was not strong enough for that word. When Mr. 'Kunk fired the fatal shot he carried an insurance of 16525,000. The fact that Mr. Kunk could meet these large premiums annually, that be owned a very handsome estate at St.

David'swhere he made his home; that he lived in substantial, though not an ostentatious, manner, and that he was a generous patron of charities and church organizations, demonstrates that he possessed a very fine income. Mr. Kunk was 46 years old and was twice married. Two sons by his first wife and three children and his second wife survive him. Mr.

Darlington refused to see reporters, but replied in writing to a note giving a denial to the statement that Mr. Kunk had used 80,000 of the firln's money in speculation. The inquest was held to-night by Coroner Fallon. It was held at Mr. Kunk's late residence and was in the nature of a star chamber proceeding from which newspaper men were excluded.

At the conclusion of the inquest the only information that was given out in regard to it was the verdict which was: "Suicide while temporarily insane." A Bad State of Affairs. Harrisburg, October 6. Colonel W. Hayes Grier, superintendent of public printing and binding, says it is a practical impossibility to have printed the. election ballots under the new iaw in time for the election.

It will require, he says, 14,000 reams of white and tinted paper in eqnal quantities which will weigh nearly 400 tons. There are few presses in the state upon which the tickets can be printed. Three regular and three specimen ballots will be required for each voter. The official ballot now being printed for the state department will be 22x52 inches. It is stated that there is not enough paper in the country of the kind required to supply all the ballots that will be needed.

Chairman Patton, of the state prohibition committee, was here to-day to certify at the state department the votes of the candidates of that party who received official standing in the last election by reason of having received 3 per cent, of the total vote cast in the districts in which they were candidates. Chairman Patton is very much disgusted with the new law. Methodist Missionary Society Meets. Harrisburg, October 6.

They had been engaged at the most hazardous work about the mines, that of robbing pillars, during the day and had just reached the after a hard day's work, when a rumbling noise was heard from below.

Washington, October 6. Secretary of State Foster in answer to an inquiry as to the truth of the report recently published that the president had intimated to members of his cabinet that he did not desire them to take part in the campaign by making political speeches, denied that any such intimation had been given. The president sees no impropriety in any members of his cabinet appearing before the public in a temperate discussion of political topics in vindication of the policy and acts of the administration.

The -Poet, Tennyson, Crosses Over the Dark and Dreary River. HIS WORKS WILL LIVE AFTER HIM One of the Greatest of the Present Century's "Versifiers Passes Into the Great Beyond, Mourned By Many Made Better By His Poems.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE FUNERAL London, October 6. Lord Tennyson died at 1.35 o'clock this morning. Immediately after it occurred the representati ves of the Associated Press had an interview with Sir Andrew Clarke, one of the physicians who attended the Poet Laureate. Sir Andrew said that Lord Tennyson's death was the most glorious that he had ever seen. There was no artificial light in the room, and the chamber was almost in darkness save where a broad flood of moonlight poured in through a western window.

The moon's rays fell across the bed upon which the dying man lay, bathing him in their pellucid light and forming a Rembrandt-like background to the scene. All was silent save the soughing of the wind as it gently played through the trees surrounding the house a fitting requiem for the gentle poet, who sang of love and the beauties of nature. Motionless Lord Tennyson lay upon his couch, the tide of his life gently and slowly ehbing out into the ocean of the infinite. No rocks of pain or sorrow checked its course or cause a ripple upon the outgoing tide. As peacefully and as gently as be had lived, so he died, looking until the end into ihe eyes of those dear to him.

All the members of his family were by his bedside, and Sir Andrew Clark remained by his side from the moment of his arrival yesterday until he breathed his last. So gentle anlj painless was his passing away that the family did not know he had gone nntil Dr. Clark broke the news to Lady Tennysou, who bore the closing scenes of her trial well in spite of her extremely delicate health. The body of Lord Tennyson lies on the bed in which he died. He looks fifteen years younger than before death, the lines and wrinkles of the face being less apparent.

The beard, which was unkempt in life, has been carefully trimmed, the hands are folded over the chest, a laurel wreath crowns the head and another lies at the feet. The coverlet over the body is almost hidden beneath the flowers which have been placed upon it. Burning wax tapers lend a subdued light to the chamber. The bishop of Winchester will preach the funeral sermon in the Harlemoc church on Sunday. The canon of Westminster Abbey had formally invited Hallam Tennyson to bury his father in Westminster Abbey.

Hallam Tennyson is now so ill as to be confined to his bed. A friend of the deceased family states that yesterday afternoon, during a wakeful moment, Lord Tennyson asked for a copy of Shakespeare, and with his own hands turned the leaves until he found the dirge in "Cymbeline." Then he fixed his eyes on the pages, but he did not speak, and. whether he read the lines or not is not known. Soon he passed into slumber, and his left hand rested on the open book until be passed away. Lord Alfred Tennyson, D.

C. L. and F. K. poet laureate, was born in Lincolnshire, England, in 1809.

He was the third son of the late Rev. G. C. Tennyson. Alfred was educated by his father at the parsonage and fully prepared for his entrance to Trinity college, Cambridge.

He early developed a genius for verse making, and while at Trinity in 1829 obtained the chancellor's medal for a poem in blank er.se, the title being "Timbuctoo." He bad, however, two years previously, in conjunction with his brother Charles, published a small volume of poems, and in 1830, while still an undergraduate, he produced his "Poems," chiefly lyrical. It was not until 1842 that Tennyson did anything to excite particular attention. In that year there were published two volumes, mainly a reproduction of earlier writings, but to which were added "Locksley Hall," "The Talking Oaks," "Dora," "Morte d'Arthur," and other poems, since become famous. These poems at once gave Mr. Tennyson a reputation, and placed him in the first rank of English poets.

His title to this position was further borne out by the publication a little later, of "The Princess," a medlev, in 1847, and of "In Memoriam," in 1849. This last work was issued anonymously, and was a tribute to the memory of a dear friend of his earlier days at Cambridge, Arthur H. Hallam, the son of the eminent historian. The death of Wordsworth made it a matter of course, so popular had Mr. Tennyson become, that he was made poet laureate in 1851.

It was about this time, too, that Tennyson married, returningjto Farringford, in the Isle of Wight, where he lived until 1869. Following his becoming poet laureate, Mr. Tennyson published, in 1852, his "Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington," which made its appearance on the day of the great soldier's funeral, and since that time few events of interest to an Englishman have transpired without commemoration in the way of a poem from the laureate. In 1855 Mr. Tennyson produced "Maud," and in 1859, the first of his four "Idyls of the King," Enid," "Vivien," "Elaine" and "Genevieve." "Enoch Ar-den" was written in 1864, and in 1S70 "The Holy Grail." "Gareth and Lynette" was miblished in 1872, and the "Idyls of the King" completed in 1873.

Tennyson wrote several dramas, "Queen Mary," "Harold," and "The Promise of May," between the years 1875 and 1882. The latter was brought out at the Globe tlieatre, November 11, 1882. He also wrote "The Cup," produced at the Lyceum theatre, January 3, 1881, Mr. Henry Irving taking the leading role. "Queen Mary" was also produced there.

"The Falcon," another play, was first put on the stage by Mr. and Mrs. Kendal. In 1855 the University of Oxford conferred on the laureate the degree of D. C.

while the fellows of his own college at Cambridge indorsed the sentiment of Oxford by the purchase of his bust by an eminent sculptor, which is now in the library of the college, and in 1869 elected him an honorary fellow of the college. It was in this year the poet moved from the Isle of Wight and took up his residence in Peters-field, Hampshire. In December, 1883, Tennyson was created a lord, and accepted a peerage as Baron Tennyson of Aldworth, Sussex, and of Freshwater, Isle of Wight. His elevation to rank did not cause him to discontinue his labors, for since then he has published "Becket," "Teresias," and other poems, and during the latter part of 1886 he wrote Locksley Hall Sixty Years After."

OF A GANG OF HIGHWAYMEN It Required Several Bullets to b3 Fired Into His Body Before an Outlaw-Will Tell Such, a Story and He Kay Yet be Lynched. GDILTY OF ALL MANNER OF CRIME Kansas City, October 6. A special from to the Star from says: The streets are packed witli crowds of excited people from all parts of this section, attracted by the terrible Dalton tragedy of yesterday.

On every street corner stand groups of citizens eagerly discussing the matter. At the city hall an awning has been improvised, under which lies the four dead bandits in coffins piovided by the county with a guard to see that they are not disturbed. Since morning a procession of sight seers, which seems to be never ending, have viewed the dead outlaws. The desperadoes cold in death, seem to possess an attraction for the curious, which is almost without a parallel. Among the thousands who have viewed the bodies are many who have known the Daltons for years and, while their crimes deserve to place them beyond the pale of sympathy, there are to be people who can scarce repress a sigh of regret for the fate of the dead men.

The stairway leading to the room where Emmett Dalton lies, is at all times surrounded by a crowd of men and women, who do their utmost to persuade the guard to let them pass up to the presence of the wounded man, but with few exceptions they are not complied with. Through the courtesy of the sheriff a Star reporter was allowed to enter the room. Emmet was weak from loss of blood and talked little. He said: "I met the boys Saturday near Tulsa, and in the course of their talk they asked me how much money I had. I replied They said they had 8900 and then told me of their plan to rob both banks of Coffeeville in one day.

Bob said he wanted to lower Jesse James's record. I tried to persuade him not to try it, but did not succeed, as he had a grudge against the town and wanted revenge for what he had heard the people here were saying and trying to do about us. I had no money to leave the coutry on and I did not think we could get away if we came. I finally consented. We knew the lay of the land thoroughly and it was agreed that Bob and I should take the First national, and the other three boys, Condon's bank.

Bob thought he and I were better than any six of the others and knowing the First national to be the hardest to rob, we selected that and assigned Condon's to the others. He stated that he was a cousin of the Young brothers, and until he knew that the other boys were dead he refined to say anything, but when their dead bodies were carried up to him for inspection he identified them as Bob and Grattan Dalton, Tom Evans and Jack Moore. He shed tears as he gazed on his dead brothers. The names he gave to the two latter men are not the names they were known by in this section, but they are not their real names. These are withheld from the public to-day for good reasons, but their names are known.

The dead bandits were buried here this afternoon in the city cemetery in a lot owned by the Dalton family. The mother of the Daltons was telegraphed to yesterday, and tbis morning a message was received from Ben, the oldest boy of the family, that he would come on here. Ben has never been with the boys in their is a farmer living with bis mother at present near Kingfisher, Oklahoma. Emmett is wounded in the right hip and right arm by Winchester bullets, and in his back are twelve buckshot, the latter being the shot which knocked him off bis horse. He had reached his horse and mounted with the bag of money on his arm, when seeing Bob fall he turned to assist him, and it was then that he received the fire that brought him down.

The money secured from the First national amounted to 20,240, and that from Cordon's 3,000. The amount turned over to the banks exceed this amount, and served to verify the statement by Emmett that they had $900 when them came to town. It is now thought that only five men took part in the robbery, and if this be true the entire gang was exterminated. Sheriff Callahan wants to take Emmett Dalton to Independence, but there is a vigorous protest against it and it will hardly be allowed, as our people are determined that he shall not be taken from this town. Cashier Ayers's wound is not so serious as at first thought, and unless blood poisoning sets in be will soon recover.

All the wounded men are getting along nicely. Although there is some quiet talk of finishing Emmett Dalton, it has taken no decided form and the result cannot be foretold. Petitions to the Pacific express company and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road are being circulated asking that they pay the large rewards for the death of the Daltons to the families of the murdered citizens. Emmett Dalton has made a sworn statement that Bob and Brattan were concerned in the Calif robbery and that they also executed the Adair robbery several weeks A Woman Charged With, Smuggling Oil Paintings. New York, October 6.

It was ascertained this morning that the woman accused of having smuggled into this country the eighty-two oil paintings seized on Monday by treasury inspectors is a Mrs. Cacazi, wife of a physician in Naples, Italy, formerly Mrs. Emeline Campbell, the divorced wife of William J. Cifmpbell, a millionaire manufacturer of wall paper, this city. The-paintings were valued by their former owner at 110,000.

Inspector Traitteur has evidence, he says, to show that the paintings are owned by residents of Naples, Italy, for whom Mrs. Campbell acts as sales agent. It is said that she has at former times handled other goods in like manner. Mrs. Campbell called at the custom house to-day in a very angry and excited state of mind and said that she had called to prefer charges against the inspector.

The latter she said had concocted a charge of smuggling against her in order that he might take possession of the paintings. His motive, she charged, was revenge because she did not reciprocate his passion for her. He declared that he had pursued her to Saratoga and other places that he might make love to her. Depnty Collector Phelps took the papers but did not give Mrs. Campbell much satisfaction.
