FRANK RaNDE:s DEATH.

Joliet. ILL.,. March Late last
night Frapk Rande. who made an
attempt upon the life OF Deputy
Mcdonald last Saturday night,
and wa. placedin solitary confine-
ment. succeeded in ending his career
by hanging himself tits not known
at what time of the night this oc-
Cured, but when his cell WAS open
ed this morning bis lifeless body
was discovered, suspended from the
celIing by rope made of his under
clothing.
Ran,Is S real name was Cha ries
G. Scott, and he WAS life convict,
sent up from Knox County. He
was desperate of the worst class.
and his career of crime hard Y has,
parallel, being cenera!y known as
the "DoId Baadit OF the Wa bash. ,
He was mt one time in the iewelry
business in small town IN Illinois,
and was a respec ed citizen. He WAS
generally believed to he insane,
and, judging from the eilornlity of
his crimes. his MI d must certainly
have been unbalanced.
1t is positively known that he Kill
ed ten persons, although he is ac-
credited with double that number.
During the year 1877 he murdered
ave persons in the states OF Indiana.
Illinois. and Missouri He was Or
iginalIy sentenced to the Iowa Pen
itentlary for bar-lary. escaped snd,
fearing arrest, became Il tramp.
He was alterward sent 20 Michis.n
CITY Prison for burglary under III
another name, and left there in 1877.
He robbed farmer near Gibson,
Ill. aud being pursued by a party Of
six, he killed two and wounded three
others He committed an almost
similar robbery near St. Elmo, H.,
and heing followed by party of
citizens, killed three Of the latter
and escaped. He was finally cap
tured in ST. Louis after a desperate
struggle With an officer. and on his
trial for the Gilson tragedy escaped
with a life sentence. His prison life
has been marked with three or tour
acts of desperation simi ar to that of
last Saturday night. He planned
an escape from his prison yesr
ago, but was foi'ed.
Rande had been working in the
harness shop OF the prison ever since
his incarceration. Un last Saturday
morning, while he was at work,
Deputy Warden John McDona d
came in aud entered into eoneersa-
ton with Keeper Madden at his
desk. Rande seized the poker from
the stove and struck Mcdonald across
the back Of the head, crushing the
skull. Madden then, with the as
sisanressof two convicts. dewned and
secured Rande. Deputy Gavin
then came in and st ;rted with Rande
to the dungeon. Rande seized a
knife and attacked Gavin, who shot
him. Keeper Madden also sho'
him in The Il ad, but not dangerously.
The desperate was then taken 20
the hospital, where, partially insane,
he has since been kept. Keeper
McDona d is still confined to his
bed. desperately injured, and will

Thus ends the life of one of the
worst criminals who ever cursed the

ANOTHER HEAVY ROBBERY

Chicago. March Last Satur-
day, about 1 O'Clock in the after
noon, Psymaster G. S. Bartlett, OF
the Chicago, Burlington d Quincy
Railroad, left his office for lunch,
without taking the precautlon 81
close the combination of the big safe
in which the money for thsepayment
of the employees was deposited
On leaving the rocm he did so with
out waiting the retnrn of the other
attaches of the Office. who had all
gone to lunch. Before his return
the safe was robbed of all its con-
tents, with the exception of some
packages of nickels and small
change; the total am cunt disappear
ing as near as the companys officials
can estimate, being $4,000.
On the facts becoming known and
an investigation being instituted
Paymaster Bartlett was discharged
from the Service of the company
for negligence, and the matter was
placed in the hands of detectives.
An effort was made to keep the af
fair secret, in the hope that the de-
tectives would be facilitated in their
work ,sbut the affair became known,
and in the belief that an eXaggerat
ed statement would be published con-
corning the robbery, the officials
showed willingness that the exact
facts should be furnished the public.
The theory advanced by the
treasurer of the. company is that the
robbery was accomplished by a
sneak thief. Two doors lead into the
cashiers office from vacant room,
one of which was found ajar on the
paymaster's return. The paymasters
room is located in the general seffices
of The company, on the second floor
of the building, and was constructed
specially with view to guard ag-
aipst Intrusion Or theft, but in this
instance the most ordinary precau
tions appear to have been gnored
The explanation given by the
paymastcr is that it was supposed
that the vacant room adjoining his
office was always kept locked, but
in this case it was proved otherwise
This door was close to aud adjoining
vault in which the safe was located.
There was remaining in the room
when the paymaster left the room,
the cashier and an assistant, who oc
cupy practically the same roo 81.
but sic at desks somewhat removed
from the vault, and in au angle
which PARTLY conceas the entrance
to the vault. SO that any one entar-
ing from the vacant room could hav c
accomplished the robbery without
their knowlsdge The paymaster
assumes that the robbery must
have been committed by some one
having a complete knowledge of the
room and the habits Off occupants.
The detectives have advanced a
theory to the effect that the robbery
did not actually occur as stated by
certain employees, but that some
trusted employe is a defauler, and
selected the robbery" method Of
covering up his shortage.

n Lancaster on Tuesday, April
18th, to nominate a candidate for
Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas.
In behalf of the Democracy of
Hooking county we present, as a
candidate, Judge John S. Fries
ner.
Judge Friesner is serving his
first term. 1t is a well estab-
lished rule that the official, doing
faithful and meritorious service
on his first, is entitled to his sec :
.ond term.
Judge Friesner has merited his
denomination. He has done his
duty honestly, impartially, we'll.
He has shirked 30 disagresable
service and has met nanfully ey-
cry responsibility. In his brief
term on the Bench he has been
called upon to decide more quss-
tons involving original proposi-
tiona of law than any Judge in
the state, and to the credit of his
judgment and legal knowledge
be it said his decisions have be-
come the accepted Law of the
Land. Whilst he is the Youngest
man on the Bench. he is eonsid-
cred one of the ablest jurists of
our state. His discharge ofcourt
business is characterized by
prompt, energetic, economical
dispatch, always in a spirit of
courtesy to the attorneys, and of
equal and exact justice to liti-
gants and the general public.
Besides his merits as an official,
Jack Friesner claims our support
as a man and a Democ' at. He
is self made and is self sustaining.
He trained in "Labor's ragged
school," aud his hand was always
ready for any work offered and
his intellect prompt, as was his
heart. TO face and fight an issue
upon a principle. He is resoluts,
clear of head, strong OF purpose.
warm of heart. He is one of the
best developments of the Amer
ican Man, familiar with every
class and identified by experience
with every phase of life in his
climb from the brush picking up
to the Bench.
j b n ). tr G n e r is
Democrat. He has done more
than his share of work each year
in promoting the advancement of
Democratic principles, and help
ing to elect Democratic candi-
dates.
He is q genial gentleman,
true Democrat an honest, able
Judge, and Hooking county.
proud of him and devoted TO him
will present hira as our candi-
date for re nomination, in the
full faith that our sister counties
will offer no opposition.
His nomination is asked by ev-
cry Democrat Of Hooking county
and such is his lofty standing as
a gentleman and a judge among
those who know him best, that
we assume to say his candidacy
will not be opposed by the Re
nnhiicans.

A Hooking County Pau
per Claimed for
Dissection.

Thnre is a law which author
ICES medical colleges to receive
for dissection the bodies of pau
pers who die without friends to
ella m their remains. The Super
intendent Of the Iniirmary has no
power TO refuse demand for
such body. A case happened
some months ago at our Infirm-
ary, which has caused some com
ment, and censure unjustly upon
Mr.. Nixon, who was powerless in
the case, and was compelled by
law to give up the bo1y.
A Mrs. Caroline Capan, an cid
lady of about IS years, having
no relatives, was brought to the
Infrmary last December. Sosn
after her arrival she took sick
and died and was buried in the
Infrmary cemetery.
Nine days afterward, at about
midnight, two persons came to
the Irfirmary, walked up MI. Nix
on and demanded Mrs. Capin's
body. The party making the
demand gave bis name as DIR.
Hamilton, OF Columbus.
Mr.. Nixon refused the body to
be taken, when he was served
with the following official requi-
sition:
