His Neck.
ST. LOUIS, July 13.-Messrs. Martin d
Faun tleroy, attorneys for Hugh M. Brooks,
alias Maxwell, have not yet given up all
hope of saving their client from the gal
lows. Mr.. Martin said this afternoon that
the governor in his. decision had over
looked many strong points made by the
attorneys, and it is their intention to
make vigorous effort to have the gov
ernor go over the ground again.
"Will you get up more petitions, or
simply make another appeal to him." was
asked.
Mr.. Fauntelroy-"I can't say yet. His
decision is peculiar one, and the position
taken by him is extremely illogical. He
says that even though this man has not
had fair and impartial trial, and even
though, to quote his own language, the
state officers nave been guilty of conduct
that has incurred the displeasure of the
right thinking people of the state still he
is powerless to interfere. The governor
places himself in exactly the same posi-
ton man hired to fill grave would be
in if he discovered the corpse was alive
and yet went on filling the gravs because
the physicians who are supposed to know
better had pronounced the man in the
coffin dead"

The President of an Elevator
Company Crazed by Unsuc-

A Story of Mormon Outrages,

violent acts by being confined in his resi-

Ernest Hers, who is a wealthy grain

for Europe and transferred the entire

his sons, the younger of whom, Frank w.
Hess, is secretary of the company. Be-
sides a bank account of $4,000, which
was placed to the credit of the young
men, there was layge credit in margins
remaining in bank.
After the father went away Charles,
it is reported, developed re.
markable facility as a ''plunger," and
stirred up the corn market to violent
degree. His actions created considerable
comment, but it was attributed to his
youth and a. consequent desire to show
himself. He would wildly bet 800 to $40
that corn would be 30 before it would be As,
and then he wonld offer to buy in a
million lots, and, in almost the same

had spread and straddled until his affairs
were seriously complicated, and he was
involved to the entent of 100000 bu hels

TEXAS CATTLE FEVER.
Proposed Experiments to Test its ALLEGED
Contagiousness- Meeting OF Stockmen.

Proposed Experiments to Test its Alleged
Consciousness Meeting of Stockmen.
CHICAGO, July 3-The subject of
the Texas fever among cattle is one
which for sometime past has caused con-
siderable trouble to cattle growers through
out the country. For the purpose ofeffect-
ing thorough, practical examination of
the matter, and, if possible, providing
some remedy for the evil, a circular let
ter was recently sent out by Vice presi-
dent Washburne, of the Union Stock yards,
to the executive committee of every grow
ing association throughout the country,
inviting them to send a representative to
conference to be held at the Union stock
yards. The meeting was held yesterday
in Mr.. Washburnes Office, and was at.
tended by representatives OF nearly all the
cattle growers associations and several
state Veterinary associations.
Mr.. Washburne explained the object for
which the meeting had been called
namely: for the purpose of devising tests
to ascertain whether Texas fever was con-
tagious to native cattle. On behalf of the
Stock Yards company, he offered to put
every facility in the way of the COMMITTEES
which they might require. Infected
Texas cattle and healthy natives would be
at their disposal, as well as pens in the
stock yards, erase, lots, etc.
The committee outlined series OF
tests which were adopted and will be made
at Union stock yards as soon as possible.
The tests will be most thorough, and
are expected TO determine beyond doubt
whether or not the disease is contagious
and If it is rinder, what conditions. A
committee of five has been appointed to
have charge of the experiments. The
appointments of supervision OF tests

declining the nomination, the chairman
was authorized to confer with various
interested associations throughout the
country, and find suitable
man to carry out the proposed
work. When the tests are completed
full report of their various stages will
be drawn up and presented to the next
meeting of the National Consolidated
Cattle Growers association, which meets
in this CITY next November. The com
mittee! will also draft the outlines of bill
or presentation to congress and state leg

THE GALLOWS.

Execution of Ebenezer Stauyard, the
Murderer of His Sweetheart
COLUMBUS, o., July 13.-Ebenezer Stan
yard, the Youngstown murderer, who
killed his sweetheart, Alice Hancock early
in 1887, was hanged in the penitentisry
annex at o'clock, this morning. He
played his accordian before going to the
scaffold, and appeared to be at his ease,
talking great deal and meeting his fate
with more nerve than many supposed he
would.
The crime for which he suffered was a
brutal one, the pretty young girl being
shot from behind, aud all on account of
jealousy. He claimed to be temporarily
insane at the time of the shooting.
EXECUTION OF RIDER.

for the murder of ID. J.. Tallant about
three years ago. At LOG p. m. Rider as

ties. A moment later the moose and cap

hung dangling in the air At
1923 O'Clock he was pronounced
dead. The body was then cut down, and
will be buried on the old Rider farm near
the scene of the crime. His neck was
broken. The execution was in the jail
yard, and was private.
The crime for which Rider was hanged
was committed July %, 1885. He killed
Frank Tallant. There we're. no witnesses
to the shooting, but circumstantial evil
dence was sufficient to satisfy the jury
that Rider was guilty in the irst degree.
The trouble arose over Tallant's alleged
intimacy with Riders wife, whom on that
day Tallant had taken across the river in
skiff. Rider claims he went to Tallant's
house that night in search of his wife, and
not seeing her he left, but Tallant was
near by, who approached him with an up
lifted knife, and he then shot him.
The testimony at the trial showed that
Rider waylaid Tallant in the woods, while
the latter was returning from taking the
woman across the river, and shot him
from behind tree. Rider had two trials,
his case being taken to the supreme court
where the decisions of the lower court we're
confirmed.

A WoMAN,S STORY.
An English Family Who Followed a
Young Son to Utah.

An English Family Who Followed a
Young Son to Utah.
CHICAGO, July IA pale-faced little
woman, giving her name as Elizabeth
Turnbull Rutter, formerly of North
Shields, Eng, was picked up on the
street to-day apparently fainting from
hunger. She claimed to have had nothing
to eat on four days trip from Ogden,
Utah, to Chicago, en- route to her old
home in England. She told terrible
story of her experience among the Nor
mons. Her young son, she stated, had
been induced against the wishes of his
parents to Join party of emigrants, Or
ganized by Mormon missionaries in
England, Not hearing from the boy who
it was afterwards learned, had been pre-
vented by the elders from writing, the
father, frantic from anxiety, followed him
to Utah. He found employment with a
Mormon farmer named Joseph Holbert,
but was unable to save enough to help
continue the search until pretending to
join the church. Then Rutter got money
and sent some to her, but all his letters,
telling of the condition of affairs in Utah
were interrupted and others substituted,
urging her to come to Utah with the mis-
sionary. She obeyed, and claims the
women in the party were subjected to
fearful indignities en- route by the elders.
Rutter was murdered shortly after che
joined him. He had inadvertently given
young woman an inkling of his plans to
find his boy and escape with his wife.
The Mormons asserted that Rutter's death
was accidental. She was defrauded by
Holbert of her husbands savings, but,
fleeing to Ogden, earned enough money
working in hotel to pay hor passage
home. The amount of railroad fare was
larger than she expected, and sooner than
delay longer she had deprived herself OF
food OIL the long journey to Chicago.

Sheridan's Condition.

NoNQUITT, July 14.-General Sheridan
last night had return of slight puimo-
nary congestion, which was quickly and
easily controlled, in fact, more readily
than at any previous similar attack. He
slept fairly well during the night, and to-
day has been resting easy. His pulse and
respiration are better than could have
been expected under the circumstances,
and he has taken a sufficiency of liquid
and solid food during the day.

The gas is generated from naptha for
lighting the railroad shops and for use in

have ordered Queen Natalla, of Servis, to
leave Germany within twenty-four hours.
They have also informed her that before

Prince Alexander, to M. Particles, who will
take him back to Belgrade. The police
will afterwards escort the queen to the

THE DYNAMITERS.

Their Cases Called in Judge Tuthill's
Court, Chicago, and Postponed.
CHICAGO, September 17.-Judge Tuthill's
court room was crowded this morning.
The occasion was the calling of the cases
against the alleged dynamite conspirators
John Stronek, Frank Chopek, Rudolf
Sevic and Frank Chleboun, who are
charged with plot to murder Judges
Gary and Grinnell, Police Inspector Bon
field and Others who were connected with
the trial of August Spies and his con-
rades, which resulted in their execution.
The attorney for Stronek, in whose
house box containg bombs and dyna-
mite was found, presented an affidavit by
his client in which Strorek declares he had
nothing to do with the plot, and that the
box was left at his house by a man named
Karifatt. He asked for pc stponement
of the trial in order that he might pro-
cure evidence to prove this fact.
The attorney for Sevic also presented
an affidavit from his client, who is a gun
maker and dealer in guns, powder, etc.
He declares his innocence of the charge
against him and says that the dynamite
found in his place was what was left
of a twenty-seven pound pack
age which he purchased of
the Etna Powder company in the regular
course of business and disposed of in a
legitimate way. He gave the purposes for
which the explosive was wanted in various
sales made by him. He also asked for a
continuance in order to procure testi-
mony. The bail of Stronek, who is still
in Jail, was reduced from $4,000 to $1,000
and the hearing of the four cases post
poned till the October term of the court.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
WACO, September 1S.-Last night
public meeting of citizens was held at the
First Baptist church to consider the
moving and rebuilding of the Waco
Female college. This educational insti-
tute at present is situated upon valuable
property, but is too close to the business
portion of the city to be in every way
suitable for such an institution, and the
directors are DESTROYS of erecting hand
some building and securing more
suitable location. The directors state
that they have been offered donations of
grounds, upon which to erect the
new structure, from various parties,
some of whom reside at Fort Worth and
Dallas, and others who live in Waco. Some
of these building sites are estimated TO bs
worth as high as $25,000. Several repre-
sentative citizens delivered short ad-
dressee, and the object of the meeting was
to interest the people of Waco i'll this
worthy movement and induce them to sub
scribe to fund to help this new building,
which will be credit and honor to Waco.
Postmaster Gerald is in receipt of
letter from Postal Inspector j.
Il. Hoingsworth, requesting him
too forward all maps, ETC.,
and that he could do something in regard
to the establishing of the free delivery
system in Waco about October /.
Mr.. Holingsworth further stated that
he would arrive in Waco on Wednesday or
Thursday of this week.

ing tonight to consider the different
