Marshal Arnold eaid yesterday afternoon that his force of 1,200 deputies will be kept intact until the strike has been ended and there is no possibility of further trouble. The 100 men discharged yesterday, he said, were men whose services were no longer needed.

The Marshal estimates the cost of the strike up to the present time at $75,000. This is the amount which the Deputy Marshals sworn, fed, and paid by him will cost Uncle Sam. The total number of deputies sworn was 3,500, but fully half these were railway employes, whom the government will not have to pay. STRIKERS SEEK-THEIR OLD PLACES. bnt Not Yet Returned.

BLOW AT THE METHODS OF UNIONS Henry George and an advocate of hia single tax doctrines. He took great interest in track elevation, and frequently wrote letters to public officials advocating that scheme and suggesting the manner in which it should be carried out. He was a member of the Single Tax club, and was a ready and frequent debater. He became known for his eccentricities and his vain pretensions to political preferment. During Carter Harrison's last campaign Prendergast spent much time electioneering, and during that period is eaid to have met Mayor Harrison several times.

When the latter was elected Prendergast put forward his claims to political recognition and demanded that he be made Corporation Counsel. These demands were made 'by postal card, although be called to see the Mayor several times. When he found that no notice was taken of him Prendergast became angry. He claimed to have come to the conclusion that Harrison was not fulfilling his duties as Mayor and determined to kill him. At 7:30 o'clock the evening of Oct.

28 he called at the Harrison mansion armed with a revolver with which to carry out his intention. The Mayor was resting after his arduous labors at the Fair the day before, where he had spoken to and entertained the Mayors of a number of cities. When called to the door by the servant he refused Prendergast's demands brusquely. The latter then drew his revolver and fired three shots at the Mayor, who died within a few minutes. Prendergast gave himself up to Lieut.

Wheeler at the Des-plaines Street Police Station. He was held by the Coroner's jury and -indicted by the grand jury. Then began the long legal fight which has but few equals in criminal history. The murderer was represented by able lawyers, who exhausted every device known to legal strategists in his behalf. The first- trial commenced Dec.

6 and lasted three weeks. Judge Brentano presided, and Attorneys R. A. Wade, John Heron, John P. McGoorty, and Robert Essex defended the prisoner, Assistant State' s-Attorney Todd and A.

S. Trude appeared for the prosecution. Prendergast was found guilty and sentenced to be executed March 23. Here Attorneys Wade, Essex, and McGoorty dropped out and Attorneys Harlan, Gregory, and Darrow took their places. The State Supreme Court, the United States Supreme Court, and Acting Governor Gill were appealed to, but all refused to interfere.

The day before the execution was to take place John Prendergast, the prisoner's brother, filed a petition under oath stating that he believed the prisoner had become insane since his trial and asking for a trial as to his sanity. At midnight Judge Chetlain granted the petition and staid execution until April 6. The date of the hanging was postponed until July 2. The insanity trial before Judge Payne began June 20 and ended in a verdict that Prendergast was sane. Before the trial was finished the date set for the execution arrived and Judge Payne extended the time to July 13.

Prendergast then bad recourse to the Illinois Supreme Court, the Federal Courts, and the Governor. Each of these refused to obstruct the law's course and the death sentence was executed. Patrick Eugene Prendergast has paid the nenalty of hia life for the murder of Carter Henry Harrison. At 11 :48 o'clock yesterday morning the trap 01 tne gallows fell from be neath his trembling feet and the rope put an end to his wretched life, lie made, no speech. He did not speak a word from the time the death march started from the room where he had passed his last night on earth, save for a whispered sentence to the black robed priest who stood beside him on the scaffold.

Aside from the trembling of hia limbs and the deep breaths which ended In gaspa there was no sizn from him to show he feared the end. His death must have been without pain, as his neck was broken by the fall of six feet and there was not a perceptible movement S. R. Callaway Defends Mr. Pullman.

S. R. Callaway, receiver of the Clover Leaf, in an interview in The Tribune of yesterday defended Mr. Pullman from attacks upon bim on account of his attitude on the strike issues. By a typographical error one of the headlines said Mr.

Callaway denounced Mr. Pullman. The word should have been defended." MODERN BATTLESHIPS INEFFICIENT. Mistakes in the Construction of Such Vessels as the Ill-Fated Victoria. New York Commercial Advertiser: The naval war vessels that typify the modern conception of sea-fighting qualities represent only a theoretical or, rather, let it be said, an ideal expression.

It is beginning to dawn on minds most vitally interested that the great armored warships are neither efficient nor safe. The fate of the vaunted Victoria last summer that found an eighty-fathom bottom from the result of an accident while maneuvering with other vessels, and the more recent sinking of Admiral Mello's flagship, the Aquidaban, from damage inflicted by a torpedo, has put a practical side to the conceptions of modern armament that the idealistic theorizers seem not to have had in their reckoning. The French Minister of Marine, otherwise the Secretary of the Navy, considers the structures recently built at Toulon entirely unsea worthy, and declares they will turn upside down in their first encounter with a heavy sea. The loss of the Victoria, together with Admiral Tryon and his gallant men, and the behavior of another favorite of the royal navy, in the Bay of Fundy, has touched the English Admiralty in a sensitive place, and their opinions now coincide with those expressed by the French department. Our own naval department, which seems a sort of imitative echo to those of Europe, is In considerable turmoil, but may succeed in turning public attention from colossal blundering in the row over blowholes in armor plate.

It would have been a thousand times better had the Victoria been towed with two lighters and grounded as near as possible to some English city and fitted up and rented out as an apartment building than to allow her to float under the delusion that she was a war vessel, and thus entrap some hundreds of men to sudden jmd inglorious death. No one that rode on the Resolution during that Biscay storm, which was not at all phenomenal, had any idea of other fate than had befallen the Victoria only few months before. It was a lesson of most awful import for a contingent of men to be cooped up in practically airtight quarters for eighteen long hours with all the hatchways closed, the vessel drifting helplessly, lurching from side to side 45. and the seas washing over her decks. And yet there is not now what is considered a first-class armored vessel afloat that would not, under similar conditions, involve the same experience, and the escape of the Resolution from foundering was little short of the miraculous.

To this complexion have the world's navies come at last that, in an age of steel and of boasted superior intelligence, with unlimited resources and after an immense expenditure of money, the deep is dotted with crazy constructions nowise so well adapted to anything as to self-destruction. When such an enormous weight and clumsiness are involved the least detriment to the hull or a little displacement of the center of gravity puts everything into most serious The eternally vigilant law oi gravitation is on the alert and ever ready to improve its opportunity, and the modern naval construction raises the question whether the conceptions concerning armament ever come from minds that hold one single scintillant gleam of an idea of natural law. These are not merely theoretical protests, they are objections that have been sustained in practical demonstrations, in tests of weakness that have carried sorrow into hundreds of homes, and any further repetitions should bo held and treated as simple manslaughter. An indignant world should voice its condemnation. after the trap was sprung.

A jury of physicians occupied two benches just in front of the gallows. hen the trap fell County Physician Fortner, who headed the jury, stood be- Railroads Receive Applications from Nearly All Who Went Out Traffic Is Resumed. Reports received by the General Managers yesterday show how absolute is the downfall of Mr. Debs and how complete is the resumption of traffic. They are as follows Wabash Condition improving.

All local freight trains run and an incread number of th rough freight trains. Rock Island Everything moving without interruption. Chicago Great Western Everything going along nicely. Santa F6 Affairs are running along smoothly with us and without interruption to traffic at any point. Alton All passenger and mail trains through on time and freight trains moved over entire line without interruption.

Wisconsin Central Business has fully resumed its normal condition. Illinois Central All quiet on the entire line. Fort Wayne Normal. Burlington No trouble of any kind, and freight and passenger business handled without interference. Baltimore and Ohio All trains, freight and passenger, moving on time without interference and guarded.

Calumet and Blue Island Affairs are improving and we are resuming our former business. Chicago and Eastern Illinois Everything running smoothly. Pacific All moving freight and passenger business. Chicago and Calumet Terminal All moving trains under protection of deputy marshals and troops. The strikers who are seeking reinstatement pleaded earnestly yesterday, and the numbers were augmented by many who had finally come to a realization that there were no benefits to be derived from the followership of Dictator Debs.

Where there is an opening the railroads are inclined to be lenient, and after careful selection and receiving signature to certain little papers put the men back to work. They go back as new men, however. The Lake Shore and Rock Island have taken back a number of old men, the latter reemploying eighty-five out of 125 men who went out. The Illinois Central is taking back firemen for the suburban service. On the Fort Wayne none of the old switchmon are at work, and the few old engineers and firemen at work are those who did not go out.

Some of the roads are almost entirely manned by new men, and they will remain. At the headquarters of the General Managers' Association scores of applications are being received, and the individual roads can use their own discretion about their selection of men. The offices of every road are being besieged by these men. SOME TROOPS MAT BE WITHDRAWN. side the shrouded body to determine when life had become extinct.

There was a wait of five minutes when the other physicians were called- to aid in the ex amination. His pulse continued to beat lor almost ten minutes, then ths last flutter ceased and Prendergast was pronounced dead. Another five minutes waa passed and then the rope's end was loosened, the body lowered into a waiting coffin, and all Cincinnati, July 13. Judge W. H.

Taft of the United States Circuit Court delivered his decision today in the case of F. W. Phelan, sentencing him to six months' im- prisonment for contempt of this court in impeding and obstructing the receiver of the Cincinnati Southern road, appointed by this court, in the management and operation of his road, by directing and inciting the employes to leave his employ, and by interfering with the business of other roads with which the Southern road has business. The court-room was crowded and large numbers of men were in the corridors. Many Deputy Marshals were in and about the courtroom, but their presence was not needed, as the utmost decorum was The decision was long, requiring a full hour to read it.

The Judge reviewed at great length the testimony, which he declared showed unmistakably that Phelan came here as the agent and coworker with Debs to institute and direct a boycott determined on by the convention of the American Railway Union to force the railroads to break their contracts with the Puli-man company in order to compel the latter company to treat with its employes, who, it appears-, are not eligible to membership in the American Railway Union. Phelan's denial of personal agency had no weight with the court, owing to the evasive and flippant character of his testimony, and in face of the telegrams passing between him and Debs, as well as his public utterances. He knew the Cincinnati Southern road was in the hands of a receiver, and yet his first efforts were directed against it. The court found that he was the active agent here in an unlawful conspiracy with Debs and others to paralyze the business of the United States, or, in other words, to starve the Nation in order to force an employer into terms. Applying the law to the facts, tne court held that to undertake to force a breach of contract was an unlawful conspiracy.

Moreover the whole plan was a boycott, which has been declared by all the States except Minnesota to be unlawful. The court plainly recognized the right of laborers to unite and even to combine their unions and appoint leaders for the purpose of obtaining a better price for their labor. They were warranted in striking leaving their employers in a body to better their own interests, but there waa no warrant in law for a boycott. The Judge, having found Phelan guilty aa charged, said in reference to the sentence that it was the duty of the court to enforce obedience to its orders. To do otherwise would be to court anarchy.

The penalty for contempt, aggravated as this was by a renewal of the contempt after warning, should be sufficient to enforce compliance with the orders of the court. The sentence was confinement for six months in the Warren County Jail at Lebanon, and the Marshal was directed to execute the order of the court immediately. STRIKERS HATE A HEARING. TWO MEN HANGED IN MONTANA. was over.

The law had taken its course. Throughout the entire proceedings, before, during, and after the execution, there was not a hitch. Everything had been prepared, tested, and gone over, that there might be as little of the horrible as was possible. There was to be none of the mistakes which marked the ending of a murderer's life six months ago. The gallows had been put up the night before, the rope had been tested, and the trap tried.

The office of each part was duly fulfilled. Death Warrant Read to the Assassin. Prendergast passed the last night in the small room adjoining the jailer's office on the east, under the guard of the death watch. He was sitting on the foot of the couch when Sheriff Gilbert entered at 10 o'clock holding a folded paper in his hand. I have come to read the warrant to you, Mr.

Prendergast," said the Sheriff. All right," was Prendergast's response. 1 All in the room stood while the Sheriff read Murderers Pay the Forfeit for Crime at Livingston and Fort Benton. Helena, July 13. fSpeciahl Robert A.

Anderson, alias Fields, was hanged at Livingston at 5 o'clock this morning. This was the first execution in that county, though there have been twenty-seven murders committed in it. On the night of Friday, April 20, Anderson and an accomplice named Mortimer killed Emanuel Fleming in a cabin near the edge of Livingston. Mortimer turned State's evidence and pleaded guilty to his own part in the affair. He will be sentenced Monday.

Robbery was their motive. At 10 o'clock this forenoon at Fort Benton John H. Osnes was hanged for the murder of Ole Liliedall the last week in March. Lilledall was a Norwegian lad en route from the old country to a relative who lived at a small camp a few miles from Benton. Osnes, also a Norwegian, volunteered to guide him to the camp.

The next day Osnes came back to Benton having Lilledail's watch and money. The latter's body was found in a gulch, the throat cut and head crushed with a stone. There was no doubt of Osnes' guilt. Both Osnes and Anderson died game. WOELD'S FAIR TREASURES RESIGNS.

Prendergast turned a trifle paler while the reading was going on, but he made no comment. When it was fin Orendorff Believes Those from Outside of Chicago Are Not Needed. Officers of the militia think troops from outside points may be safely withdrawn from Chicago. Yesterday Adjutant-General Orendorff told Mayor Hopkins that in his opinion all the State troops from outside the city might be withdiawn.

Chicago, he said, never has been so quiet and orderly as the last two days. He did not say the outside troops would be withdrawn, but expressed- the opinion they safely could be. Mayor Hopkins will keep them as long as there is a possibility of their being needed. Gen. Wheeler was asked last night what he thought of the propriety of letting the country militia go home and said he thought it improper for him to speculate on that subject, as his business was to obey the Governor's orders.

ished he sat down, once more twisting his THE IDEAL TRAINING OF A BOY. Receives the News That He Mast Die and Passes Last Honrs Calmly. The way in which Prendergast received the news that the last hope was gone and that his execution was inevitable was a surprise to the jail officials. When word was brought that Judge Grosscup and Gov. Altgeld had refused to interfere it was expected that the condemned man would show signs of weakening, or at least give some exhibition that he appreciated the awful fate which awaited him.

But he received the news in a matter-of-fact way, and in the face of death expressed, hope of intervention by some power. Between fits of surliness he told his guards that he Would die a martyr, the victim of a judicial crime. At no time did he show any signs of dread for the end which was fast approaching. When the word was received at 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon cutting off all hope of further delay Prendergast was removed to a comfortable little cell in the rear of Jailer Morris' office, and Bailiffs Smith and Johnson took the first deathwatch. Late in the afternoon Chancellor Muldoon and the Rev.

Father Barry called and conversed with Prendergast for some time. He seemed somewhat cheered by the religious consolation. When supper time approached he asked for and ate ham and eggs, fried potatoes, bread and butter, pie, and coffee. He then asked for a cigar, which he smoked for a few minutes and threw away, declaring it had made him sick. During the evening he was morose and fitful.

He declined to talk to his guards, but would break out occasionally in a tirade and then relapse into a sullen silence. Retires Early and Sleeps Fairly. At 10 o'clock he retired to bed and slept for five or six hours with occasional awakenings. In the night his brother John called to see him, but when told that Prendergast was asleep went away without awakening him. At 12 o'clock Bailiffs Horton and Trimble took the death watch.

Prendergast laid in bed untii o'clock, when he arose and said he was hungry. He appeared to be in good spirits, but did not talk much. The prediction that he would weaken was not borne out. He acted and talked as ho, has acted and talked every day since hia incarceration. When his morning meal was brought he ate heartily and seemed entirely oblivious to the approaching end of his career.

Shortly afterward the Rev. Father Barry again appeared and remained with the condemned man until the execution. At 10 o'clock Sheriff Gilbert entered the cell, hesitated a moment, and then said he had come to read the warrant. Prendergast answered almost inaudiblyand when the reading was over asked for what time the execution had been set. When this question was ignored he remarked that he had not given up hope; he expected a reprieve from Gov.

Altgeld. At 11 o'clock Prendergast's brother John called and took his last He seemed much affected and looked worn and broken down from the long strain which he had endured. The condemned on the contrary shed no tears and had little to BaAt 11 :30 County Physician Fortner caUed and examined Prendergast. He found his pulse had risen from the normal 70 to 120. hen asked by the doctor ii anything could be done for him Prendergast said, "Nothing, but he would like Sheriff Gilbert to postpone the execution until the last moment, as he was -mmtiA i or a.

TTe then finish3d its work for the week and adjourned until 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. It returned no indictments into but it voted a number and these will probably be handed in after the jury resumes its labors. The District-Attorney began the, work of drawing up the papers and notified his office force to come down early this morning for a long day's work. The indictments, it is understood, are against the smaller rioters and violators of the law and the Federal injunction. It is given out that all those indicted, including Debs and.

the officers of the American Railway Union, will be proceeded against on the contempt of court proceedings next week. The feature of the day was the delivery of an additional charge to the jury by Judge Grosscup in which be directed them to investigate the railways. Five men against whom the jury voted to find no bills were discharged. Rumors that the jury was to receive additional instructions were current before it assembled. At 11:30 Judge Grosscup sent word to have the jury brought into his courtroom Before he began his remarks District Att orney Milchrist said "The jury, your Honor, appears about to vote to throw out indictments against certain per-so ns.

Can a rule be taken to discharge these persons if that action is taken by the jury?" -Instructions Which Cover Managers. Judge Grosscup informed him that it could ana after approving the request of the jury to be allowed to adjourn until Tuesday morning proceeded with his supplementary to the He said: I think it my duty to give you farther instructions. No man is above the law. The line of criminality or innocence is not drawn between classes, but only between men who violate the law and men who do not. The fact that a man may occupy a high position does not exempt him from indictment and trial simply because he does occupy a high position.

The fact that a man may occupy a lower position does not exempt him from making known his grievances to you simoly because be may occupy such a position. Your door, therefore, ought to be open to all inquiry coining from every source that is founded on something more than mere rumor or shadow. In other words that has tangible form. It is stated in the public prints that some of our fellow-citizens believe that the interruption of the mails and the inter-State commerce into which you were to make inquiry was the result of a conspiracy upon the part of men higher in the railroads than the employes. If two or more men, no matter what their position on the road may have been, wrongfully agreed between themselves, either for the purpose of creating public sympathy in a threatened strike or for any other purpose, that they would cause to have the mail trains and the trains carrying inter-State commerce stopped, and acted in pursuance of that agreement, they are guilty of conspiracy.

Conspiracy If Trains Were Held. If two or more men agreed wrongfully between themselves, for the purpose of creating public sympathy, they would discharge men from their employ who otherwise would not be discharged, intending that such discharge should stoa the running of the mail or inter-State commerce trains, they would be guilty of conspiracy. If two or more men, in view of a threatened strike, wrongfully agreed that they would not employ men to take the places of the men who had quit the service, but would allow the trains to stand still for the purpose of creating public indignation and sympathy, they would be guilty of conspiracy, unless the circumstances and situation were tuch that the employment of new men, reasonably viewed, would lead to danger to these men or danger to the railway property or to public interest. As I have said, every man is entitled to bring a complaint on any one of these charges to your attention. If he brings it with tangible evidence, something that is not mere hearsay or rumor, but something upon which you can base your iudg-ment, it is the duty of the District-Attorney and it is his pleasure, too.

to submit it to you, and it is the duty of the grand jury to hear it. If there is anything of that kind to be submitted to you I trust it will be so submitted at your session during the balance of the day or when you re turn next week. Judge Grosscup added, in response to an inquiry from Mr. Milchrist, that he would not be in court until Tuesday morning. As the jury filed back to its room the District-Attorney was asked whether the court's, charge was to be understood as enlarging the scope of the jury's duties.

No. It has from the first been the intention of the jury to investigate every phase of the strike. The railroads have not misunderstood this and Mr. Egan was so informed yesterday. No man in any way culpable will be spared.

This has always been the idea." Have any complaints been made against the railroads?" No Complaints Made Against Managers. No. I know of nothing that has been said against them save in the newspapers. Nothing has came before the jury." The majority of the witnesses before the grand jury were railroad employes and detectives. They testified to specific acts of rioters and depredators, many of whom are under arrest.

Lieut. Scherer of the Fifth and "Sergeant Shiel. Corporals Gane and McClel-lan and Private Personsof the Seventh United States cavalry gave testimony against rioters whom they assisted to arrest July 5. The witness who attracted the most attention from the loiterers in the hall was General Manager J. M.

Egan. He spent more than an hour in the presence of the inquisitars. He furnished some evidence against the strikers and was also called upon to answer some questions regarding the conduct of the railroads during the last two weeks. These questions were prompted by the instructions given by udge Grosscup to investigate both sides in the great fight. What Mr.

Egan told the grand jury was not made public, but when the jury adjourned last evening Mr. Milchrist said nothing had been learne i to indicate any criminality on the part of the railroads or General Managers during the strike. Drawing Up More Indictments. When the jury adjourned at 4 :30 o'clock Mr. Milchrist went into his private office with a large package of notes and began drawing up the indictments which the jury had voted.

He told inquirers there would be work enough to keep his office force busy today. Preparations were also made to begin civil proceedings against Debs and the other strike leaders that is to cite them into court to answer for contempt in violating the injunction. This will include Debs, Howard, Rogers, Keliher, and other officers and directors of the union who have not been indicted. The contempt charges will not be brought until Judge Woods' return to the city, and the cases will be heard by hi and udge- Grosscup, who jointly issued the injunction. The jury voted no bills against five of the sikers who have been arrested and were either in jail or under bail and the cases against them were dismissed by Commissioner Hoyne when notified by Mr.

Milchrist. One of the five was George W. Love joy, the Rock Island Yard master from La Sade who was arrested, on the charge of imtimidating a telegraph operator at Spring Valley and compelling him to leave bis post. The charge couid not be substantiated and the grand jury refused to indict. Lovejoy is the head of the Railway Union at La Salle and was a delegate to the convention of the union in this city several weeks ago.

The other four were Samuel Chance, ames Heron, D. B. Donovan, and Robert Gordon. Gordon and Donovan were Michigan Central strikers. Chance and Heron were charged with interfering with Rock Island trains.

Commissioner Hoyne yesterday heard a number of cases growing out of the strike. Arthur Brentage, Robert McCullough, William Harrison, Arthur Dailas, and Arthur, alias Tubsy," Doyle were brought before him in the afternoon charged with overturning cars, breaking switches, and committing other depredations on the Rock Island road at Forty-sixth street uly 5. They were arrested by Deputy Marshals on warrants sworn out by officers of the road. The men were held under $3,000 bail each an.4 were committed SHOT DOWN FOR INTERFERING. A.

Treasurer A. F. Seeberger presented his resignation, to take effect July 31. F. E.

Bugbee, the cashier in the Treasurer's department, was chosen as acting Treasurer. The resignation of Mr. Seeberger was in pursuance of the general plan which has been in operation for some time to vacate the offices as rapidly as the work woulcl permit. Mr. Seeberger believed his office had reached that stage where the work could be done by his chief assistant, and desiring to step out he tendered his resignation.

President Higinbotham was directed to draw up a suitable expression of the thanks of the board for the manner in which Mr. Seeberger discharged the duties of his office. RAVENSWOOD CHURCH PEOPLE'S DAT. A Striker Wound rd by a Man He Sought to Intimidate. Fifteen or twenty strikers attempted yesterday to force RudolpS Schoile to stop delivering freight at the Meagher street freight house of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad company.

Schoile refused to accede to their demands and was assaulted. To defend himself he fired into the crowd with a revolver, wounding William Shuckman in the left side. The crowd fled. Schoile was locked up at the Maxwell Street Police Station to await the result of Shuckman's wound, which it is thought is not serious. THINKS DEBS' SKIRTS ARE CLEAR.

United States Marshal Wells is here collecting information to be used in the prosecution of American Railway Union 'men who are believed to have used unstamped Wheeling and Lake Erie envelopes to exchange communications relating to the strike which has resulted so disastrously to them. It is now believed by the company that the strike was not ordered by Debs, but was a part of a conspiracy hatched by an ex-employe who had been reduced recently for cause from a position of high responsibility.

These were allowed to pass around the tier of cells to where the gallows had been erected in the north corridor. Seats were placed between the cells and the high north wall of the jail. All were filled by 11 o'clock. The prisoners whose cells were on the side where they commanded a view of the gallows were taken out and marched around to where they could not see. When their steps died away there was nothing to break the stillness except the murmur of conversation in an undertone.

At the east end was the scaffold standing grim in its coat of xlark brown paint. From the heavy beam above it was suspended the noose of hemp oiled to make it pass smoothly through the rings of iron. Turnkey Jacob Shaeffer stood leaning against a pillar waiting for the time when he should be called upon to assist Jailer Morris. He was apparently as unconcerned as though doing the usual routine of daily work. A telegraph instrument, the sounder of which was hooded to prevent noise, ticked faintly.

Every person in the room seemed nervous and anxious that the scene might be ended as quickly as possible. March to the Scaffold. Sheriff Gilbert waited until 11:43 before giving the order for the march to begin. He walked back to the room where the murderer jat with Father Barry of the Cathedral of the Holy Name, the priest who had come to administer the last rites of the church. The prisoner understood the meaning of the entrance and no word was needed to cause him to stand ready to join in the procession.

Sheriff (febert, turning, marched at the head, followed? by Jailer Morris. Next came Prendergast and beside him walked Father Barry. e' canae t-'hief Deputy Sheriff Stephens and Deputy Spears, followed by other deputies and guards, including those who had served on the deathwatch. Prendergast looked straight before him, apparently without seeing anything, for he brushed against the side of the door and half fctumbled at the steps which lead down into the prisoners' cage. His knees trembled under him and he dragged his leet as though his shoes were of lead.

His clothes were poor 12'? h15 hoe8 were ia bad condition, lie hud taken off his collar and necktie before leaving the room and his neck was bare.

Thomas Davidson in the Forum: All experience, I believe, shows that the early stages of education can be far better carried out in the family, under the eyes of parents, than in the school or even in the public kindergarten. A child's character is practical ly formed for good or for evil during the first seven years of its life, and it is then that the utmost thoughtf ulness and watchfulness on the part of parents are demanded. During this time education should, as far as possible, be unconscious and, therefore, should be carried on by those methods and means which may be applied unconsciously. A child ought not to learn consciously anything that it can learn unconsciously, never be instructed in anything that it can acquire by imitation or habituation. It is the failure to observe this principle that is the crowning defect of the Froebelian kindergarten system as it is practiced in America.

It may be set down as a general truth that all knowledge or. habit consciously acquired is prosaic, insecure, and dead, compared with that which comes through unconscious imitation. It is the latter that is the storehouse of poetry. The daily life of the family, with its manners, conversation, occupations, and interests is now the main teacher and as this is, so will the world and life of the child be. The stupidly sentimental notion that the child must under any circumstances have a good time (as the vulgar phrase is) causes many parents to allow their children to follow their natural caprices, wasting their interest and affection upon trivial or even hurtful things, and diregardmg those that are worthy and beneficial.

There is nothing that the child is so thankful for in the long run as the careful and Kindly training of his affections there is nothing that contributes so much to his moral worth and happiness. Closely connected with the result of this training is that eelf-control which is the essential eleulent in moral autonomy. In the child this takes the forms of sustained attention, and courage to carry out his wishes in defiance of difficulties and instinctive shrinkings, forms both of which will be found of the utmost value in the subsequent course of education. It ought to be observed in a boy's education that foreign travel with American tutors is something very different from foreign residence with foreign tutors. The latter is always to be strongiy deprecated as tending to render boys not only unpatriotic, but also insensible to what constitutes the worth of American life.

There is nothing which so sharply distinguishes American boys from all others as their freshness and purity of life and these qualities are likely to suffer from contact with Euxopean especially with French and German boys. An Europeanized American is nearly always a moral eunuch. Fatally Hurt on the Drainage Canal. Joliet, I1L, July 13. Special.

A. Sullivan, Robert Blau, Charles Vanells, Walter Dunn, M. Johann, and Edward Reilly, the American Railway Union men under arrest for violating Judge Seaman's injunction order were called today in the United States court-room before Commissioner Bloodgood. The court-room was packed with friends and sympathizers of the strikers. The crowd stood on benches and fought for points of advantage to hear the.

testimony. It was a demonstrative gathering and at one -time gave a faint cheer during the testimony of Witness J. J. Prichard. The court had to threaten to have the room cleared before it was quieted.

The feature of the hearing was the spat between the Commissioner and Attorney Newton S. Murphey for the men. Commissioner Bloodgood opened the proceedings by stating the case and in concluding said, after the defendants' examination by deposi tion, he was of the opinion the defendants should be examined as to three charges, alleged interfering with the mails, alleged constiracy, and actual interference and conspiracy. He presented the third complaint to the District-Attorney to sign, but the District-Attorney demurred. Attorney Murphey insisted that the District-Attorney sign the complaint at once, but Commissioner Bloodgood held this was not necessary, saying the attorney had no right to ask it.

The Commissioner and attorney bad a warm argument as to Attorney Murphey's right in the matter, which ended by the Commissioner threatening to report Mr. Murphey to the Circuit Court for contumacy. The Commissioner denied the men separate hearings. The first witness was J. J.

Prichard, a member of the American Railway Union. He said that at a meeting of the order July 4, C. S. McAuliffe appointed three committees to prevail upon the switch t3nders, switchmen, and firemen in the yards to stop work. The only member of the committees the witness knew was George Callahan, who was appointed to call on the firemen.

The witness said some one proposed going up to the freight yards, but McAuliffe said there was no freight moving, and told them to go to the depot for passenger trains. His instructions were that the men be made to leave and come to the hall." He was also anxious that the men hurry, as the afternoon train was about to leave. Eugene G. Perkins, depotmaster of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad at tbe Union Depot, swore the mail car which should have left here for Chicago July 5 at 4 o'clock left twenty-five minutes late, but he had no personal knowledge of the cause of the delay.

William B. Moulton, a St. Paul fireman, testified that he was at several meetings of the American Railway Union which were presided over by W. Archibald and C. S.

McAuliffe July 5. Mr. McAuliffe appointed a committee to go among the firemen and get tho firemen and engineers to strike. He was one of the committee. In bis instructions to the committee McAuliffe eaid the freight trains were all tied up and the main hold now was the passenger trains.

The cross-examination showed that the committee received no instructions to stop the tiain which was to leave here at 4 o'clock July 5 and that Mr. Moulton did not even know the nature of the. obligation which he took when he joined tha American Railway Union. The hearing was continued until Monday. Debs' Dispatches Produced la Court.
