Fx.GoY. Faale.s FaiIure.

KEENE, N. H, June s.-Ex-Gov. Hale is
suffering from nervous prostratiou, caused by
the excitement of the past few days, but be
says he is ambitious to pay his bills, dollar for
dollar. Under an arrangement with interest
ed parties, the South Keene Chair Company
will continue to operate its works temporarily,
and without doubt at the meeting of the cred
fected to coDtinpe the operation of the works
until the stock on hand is exhausted, and
thereby avoid throwing fifty hands ont of en-
pioyment. Several of the largest creditors
have suggested that an assignment be made by
all the creditors, of the assets into the hands
of one or more trustees, and time given the
ex-governor to dispose of the ssme without
sacrifice, believing that sufficient sum would
be realized to pay his Indebtedness in full and
leave quite surplus for Mr.. Hale.
CONCORD, N. H., june 8.-Reports of the

relations with ex-Gov Hale were of very ind

act sum of Mr.. Cheney's loss is not known, but
it is said he endorsed paper to the amount of
$25 600 for Hale. Col. Cheneys friends fear
he has been financially ruined by signing Gov.
Hale's notes. In fact he told an acquain tance
few days ago that the failure left him $4,000
worse eft than nothing. Col. Cheney was for

THE CHICAGO FRAUDS.
Renewed Interest Excited In Mackin AN

Renewed anferest Excited In NEackin and
Gailagher's Case.
CHICAGO, June 8.-Renewed interest in the
election fraud cases has deem developed today
by the confession of Charles e. Gilmore who
was arrested for perjury on the trial of Mackin
and Gallagher in the United States district
court. Gilmore's perjury consisted OF an at
tempt to show that tickets found in The 18th
ward ballot box had been printed prior to the
election while the facts were clear that they
were printed aft0r the election and substituted
for the ballots regularly cast. Gilmore now
makes affidavit that the scheme of perjuryswas
prepared by Mackin. He also confessed today
that he g(Gilmore) participated in the substi-
tuition OF the ballots and declares that the en-
tire affair was arranged by Mackin, Gallagher
and a New York Fine Worker" whom he has
described to the authorities Gilmore carried
the bogus tickets to the county clerks office
early on Monday, November %, and there gave
the envelope to Thomas Dwyer, cashier Of the
county clerks Office, person who has never
heretofore been mentioned in connection with
the crime.

A SECOND ATTACK.
The Capstone of the Washington Menu-
meHt Shattered by lightning.

me&t shattered by lightning.
WASHINGTON, June 8.-The Washington
monument was struck by lightning during the
thunder storm Friday. The noise was SO ter
rihc that the circumstance was PROMPTLY re-
ported to Colonel Thomas L. Casey of the
Army Engineer CorDs who superintended the
construction and completion of the monument.
The monument having been stripped of every
vestige OF staging, the only way to examine
the exterior Of the structure was to train a
powerful telescope on the pyramidal crown,
which is 5c0 feet from the base and has a
height OF 55 feet in twelve courses Of marble.
not including the cspstone. The telescopic
examination showed that the capstone had
been shattered at the northwest poipt of its
base, renewing piece of the marble probably
four inches iH height and thickness In the
shape OF pyramid. The last course Of stone,
which is only eeven inches in thickness,
showed on the north side distinct vertical
crack beginning at the shattered part of the
cspstone snd extending feet inches, the
width of that stone. Through the telescope it
was determined that the fracture was less than
an inch IN width, widening very little toward
the bottom, CO that the riven part protected
over the next course on the east side half an
inch, and on the 2orth side three-fourths of
an inch. Standing near the base OF the monu-
ment, no fracture or damage can be discovered
by the naked eye. Nor could any other injury
be found By the telescopc examination ex-
teriorly save what has been described.
After this examination, Colonel Casey made
careful examination of the interior of the
roof. and found it as perfect as when COM
pleted last December Not the slightest evil
denoe of the lightning's shock had manifested
itself within the monument. At the point
where the electricity had exteriorly shown its
power there was inside within four inches of
the fracture no sign of the displacement of
even particle of cement.
