Frank Rande, the Perpetrator Of Eoze1
Murders Hangs Himself in the Jolie

Murders Hangs Himself in the Joliet
Prison.
Joliet, Ill, Special; Frank Rande hanged
himself to his cell door on the night Of the 7th
inst. By means of his undershirt and suspen-
dcrs he made a rope and fastened them to the
bars of the door. He then placed his coat and
vest over the iron work of the door to shield
his body from the chilly touch of the iron and
at the bottom of the door he placed his
cell bucket bottom upward under
which lay his pants to deaden
the sounds of his struggles when dying. When
the keeper opened the door in the morning the
pbody had a very natural appearance except the
face, which was rapidly turning black. Yester-
day afternoon Warden McCloughrey paida visit
to the cell of Rande and converted with the
informed that Dupnty Mcdonald was in a fair
way of recovering, and was under the impress
sion that his cruel blow had killed him.. Rande
seemed glad to see him, and greeted him with:
"Helo, Major! You are just the mani want
to see. want You to send to Peoria for Frank
burg for State Attorney Tannicliff, and when
you three men are here in this cell before me,
I will tell you something wonderful"
The warden did not reply to him, but az he
was passing out Of the cell Rande called him
back and begged him to take him out and hang
him. 'Icannot do that, Rande; butnever fear,
you will be hung soon enough" was the reply.
The warden then left him. At 6 o'clock last
evening the guard opened his cell and
passed in Rande's supper ration.
At that hour the bandit was pacing up and
down the cell, talking wildly to himself. The
supper was placed inside the door and the cell
locked and not opened again until after Z O'Clock
this morning, when it was discovered that the
brilliant bandit of the Wabash" had committed
at least one decent deed during his career, in
ending his life without troubling the officers of
the law. Frank Rande's realname was Charles
G. Scott. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1889,
his father being Malachi Scott, now living at
Fairfield, Iowa, where he settled thirty years
ago. His wild career of crime is fresh in the
Recollection of the public.

On siding near the repair shops of
the New York, Lake Erie and Western
Railroad at Susquehanna, is an old car,
bearing on its side the legend "Tool
Car" 1t is used to carry the wrecking
gang of the Susquehanna division and
their tools. l was looking at the car
recently, and one of the employees
said:
81 suppose you would be surprised if
you knew to whom this car used to be-
long"
sFWhose was it ?" l asked.
"This car" he replied, "has rather
remarkable history. When Jim Fisk
was President of the old Erie, he had
car built for his own private use, and it
was named after Josie Mansfield. The
car was built down in Delaware, think,
and it cost mint of money. When
Fisk ordered it he gave only instruc-
tions to build him a car in which he
could travel and enjoy himself. W=see~H
1t was finished and delivered to Fisk,
he was so pleased with the workman
ship that he Immediately sent a check
of $1,000 to the man who had designed
the car and had charge of the work.
The cost of the car was not far from
S72, 900, which in those days was an
enormous sum for one car. 1t was fit
ted up throughout in the most luxurious
style. 1t was finished inside with oiled
walnut and cherry, and the panels were
adorned with oil paintings, which alone
cost a large sum. All the appointments
of the car were correspondingly expen-
sive. At one end were sleeping apart
ments and dressing and toilet rooms
The rest of the car was travelling draw
ing room. In those days the idea of
taking meals on board train was un-
heard of, but Fisk used to have wine
and delicacies for lunch, and hired a
butler, whose special duty was to take
charge of the car, wherever it went.
''In those days he used to do some
pretty toll travelling He-had an en-
CINE at his command, and when he
wanted to go over the Erie he went
flying along at rapid rate, regardless
of all other trains, which had to get out
of the way. 1t was Fisk who ran the
first train over, carrying relief for the
sufferers by the Chicago fire. When
he made up his mind to send out the
relief train, he sent for Engineer Sam
Walker, of Port Jarvis, to come to his
private office.
SAM he says, 4 want you to run
that train through to Port Jarvis as
quick as God will let you. If you are
killed I'll look out for the wife and
little ones Walker took the train
through in the unparalleled time of two
hours and ten minutes. Nat Taft, |
think, took it over the Deleware divl-
sion. At any rate it was tremendous
run, and the Erie beat them all into
Chicago.
"Fisk was a great favorite with the
railroad men. He always had a good
word for us whenever he was around.
When Fisk died the car was used by
his successor for while, and afteward
did some duty on the eastern part of
the road. 1t afterward found its way
here for repairs. When they came to
look it over, they decided that it would
be useless expense to re pair it, and so,
after lying on the switch for year or
two, it was turned into wrecking car,
as you now see it. p"

Senator wilson's Little Romance.

A Washington despatch relates the
following romance in the life of Judge
Wilson, the newly-elected senator from
Maryland. He was an inveterate snuff
taker many years after the practice had
been tabooed in good society, but
finally compromised by giving up his
snuff box and making an arrangement
with deserving woman who kept
shop in Snow Hill to get pinch when
ever he called at the shop for it. Mrs.
Knox, who had been in better circum-
stances before she kept the shop, had
pretty and refined daughter, who had
been educated, and was lady i'll nan-
ners and department. The mother
died. Thinking Judge Wilson a staid
old widower, and adapted to looking
after pretty and friendless girl, she
had left her property in the Judges S
hands, asking him to look after it, and
to be mindful of her daughter, left an
orphan. The Judge settled up the es-
tate, secured her little patrimony to the
daughter, and finally succumbed to her
beauty and merit, and married her
The match turned out most happ''
