revealed nothing to the authorities until
he was confronted by his own mother, who,
after his arrest, had inadvertently admit
ted to a detective his connection with the

II assure you that am as much in the dark
as to the alleged ftempts to FIX the jury

know of the details is what / have read
in the papers, and speak for all the law
yers who are engaged in defending
the accused when / say that the
disclosure was a complete surprise to
US. If it be true that there have been
attempts made TO fix the jury, esay let
the guilty ones be punished be they who

How about the statement that you

what their answers might bef the attorney
was asked.
''Whoever says that would be party
to any such scheme lies. That's the long
and short of it. Of course. might be held
to be privy to such a scheme by uncon-
sciously helping to its being carried 0Ut."

investigation proceed without delay. Its
effect on the minds Of the four jurors to be
sworn in cannot but be harmful to our
clients but we must do the best we can
and try the charge On its merits"

The senatorship Fight in South Dakota.

PIERRE. S. D., Oct. 13.-The proclama-
tion of Governor Mellette convening the
Legislature on Tuesday, Oct. Is, for the
election of two United States Senators
from the new State is in accordance with
the provisions of the recently adopted Con-
stitution of South Dakota. The city is
crowded to overhowing with speculators
and politicians, the former temporarily
giving way to the latter. A majority of the
members of the Legislature have already
arrived, and the fight is warming up.
There are four candidates in the field
Moody, Edgerton. Pettigrew, and War
dell. The first and second were the Sena-
tors of this State elected in 1855, whose
seats in Congress were not obtained, ow-
ing to the non-admission of the State at
that time. Judge Mo0dy's election at this
time is assured. Pettigrew Is the business
mems candidate. while Wardelps cause is
on the hands of the farmers, and he hopes
for some Democratic aid. The fight is be-
tween Pettigrew and Edgerton. with the
odds slightly in favor of the former:
Edgerton,s strength is said to have not all

KISSED THE STARS AND STRIPES.
The NatiOnal Banner Ipsulted and the Red
Flag Cheered-A& Fiery Socialist.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-When the stars ard
stripes were raised at the Socialist mass
meeting in Vorwarts Turner Hall. this
afternoon, the flag was greeted)kith Kisses.
There were probably thousand men and
women in the room at the time, all the
seats on the floor and most of the seats in
the galleries being filled. The banner was
brought out by the janitor. and when he
unfurled it so that the red, white and blue
could be seen this kissing commenced. He
fastened the pole so that the folds of the
flag fell on the stage at the feet of those
who were to be speakers. and as he did so
the kissing increased in volume. Probably
half of those in the hall joined in it. The
red flag was then unfurled and fastened on
the opposite side of the platform. Imme-
ceeded by burst OF applause. Men cried
bravo" and women, clapped their hands
and waved handkerchiefs.
After this demonstration, Martin
Schmledinger was chosen chairman of the
meeting. He introduced Sergius f. Shev-
Itch. of New York. as the first speaker
Schevitch spoke in German, and began by
declaring the hanging of the Anarchists to
be the gravest crime ever perpetrated in
America. This statement and every state
ment OF the sort he uttered was loudly ap-
plauded. He said he was proud of the city
IN which that execution occurred, because
he felt that one day it would be the Paris
the city of revolutions-of America. An
awful discomfort was smoldering in the
hearts of the laborers. and would soon
burst forth in fiery revolution. He said it
was useless aud idle TO think that the rev.
olution would be peaceful one. The 9th
er speakers, Phillip Rappaport. of Indi-
annapolis; Mrs. Crete. of New York, and
Franz Zeubert, of Brooklyn, all took a
milder tone. A session of the convention
was held during the morning, but was oc-
cupied IN the appointment of committees.

BRUIN AND THE MUSTANG.
How Hungry Bear, Which Had Nearly Killed
Two Russians, Was Subdued by Boy.

5 PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-TWO men, who
belong to a tribe of wandering Russians
now camping in Wissinoming woods. were
last evening, on Dark Run lane. near Tren-
ton avenue. The bear belongs to the two
men who were attacked, and they make
precarious living by taking him on dane
ing tours. When on these tours he is al
ways securely muzzled and led by chain.
Yesterday the men thought they would see
how the bear would behave while of the
chain, and released of his muzzle. The ami
NAL acted in docile manner for the great
er part of the day. and the men thought he
had become entirely domesticated.
About o'clock in the evening they
sat down by the roadside in Dark
Run lane and began eating some
slices of bread which they carried in
their pockets. They were entirely obliv-
lous of bruin. who was hungry, too. The
powerful brute finally decided to seizs a
share Of the feast. and he crawled up to
one of the men and seized the unsuspecting
wanderer in his claws. The victim
shouted. and his companion sprang to his
help. He tried to get his friend from the
bears clutches, but his efforts only served
to further anger the beast. He held his
victim with one powerful front claw, while
he extended the other and drew the second
man to him. When both men found them
selves fairly in the bears clutches they
screamed in terror. They struggled in
every way to release themselves from the
vise-like grasp, but were unsuccessful.
While they were fighting against almost
certain death, Albert DUNCAN, fifteen
year-old boy, who was riding q mustang
not far away, heard their piteous appeals
for help, and dashed to the rescue. He took

steed could be forced to do. Failing in this

force as to literally kick the burly
grizzly half across the lane. The bear
was so surprised by this sudden and unex-
pected attack that he dropped his human
load and started to turn TO face his new

dropped in a heap. 1t was the work of only
a few moments time to place the chain and
men were almost stripped. Their clothing
was in rags. and they were badly scratched
and bruised in their encounter. They were
SO grateful to young DUNCAN that they
wanted to make him a present OF the bear,
but the boy sensibly declined.

cident in the annals of railroading. occur
red here this morning to the fast Philadel-
phis express train on the Pennsylvania
road, due here at 11:13 A. NJ. The train is
made up of two combination paFlor cars
and three coaches, and runs at high rate
of speed. 1t passed the main depot here
to-day four minutes late, running at the
rate of sixty miles an hour. The engine,
just as it reached the east end of the long
bridge east of Main street, jumped the
track. and was followed by the five cars.
The crash was terrific. and was heard by
people at the depot, quarter of mile
west of whore the accident occurred. The
train ran along the ties for two hundred
feet when the couplings broke
be tween the cars, and each car took
shoot In different direction,
into the stone-ballasted roadbed. There
are four tracks at this point. and the cars
were twisted around III such way as TO
completely wreck the rOadbed aud the cars
themselves. When the cars finally stopped
the passengers, who were naturally fright
ened. came out of the wrecked cars, unable
to comprehend what had happened.
The only persons injured were two ladies,
who were cut by flying glass. DeWolf
received a severe shaking up, as did all of
the passengers. The accident was due to
the spreading of the rails, which were new.
and, it is said, had not been properly spiked
by the section-men who laid them. Traffic
was delayed all the afternoon. while an
army of workmen was busy in building a
new roadbed, the old one having been torn
up for 500 feet by the derailed train.

Boulanger Will BE Asked to Appear at Mon
treal as Witness in Big Libel Suit.
MONTREAL, Oct. 13.-Mayor Beaugrand,
proprietor of La Patrie, has sued La
Minerve, the organ of the Dominion gov
ernment, for libel, the latter having as
serted that Beaugrand has no right to the
decoration of the legion of honor which he
received from General Boulanger when he
was Minister of War, and that the decora-
tion was obtained through fraud, and pre-
sumably was sold. as were others, by Wilson
and his friends. The damages asked for
are 100000. The chief justice of the pro-
vince, Sir A..A. Darion. is to be asked to
issue q peremptory order that General
Boulanger be required to come TO Montreal
to declare in the witness box that the
decorations are legitimate, and were given
by President. Greyy. of France, on his
recommendation. Eminent counsel. who
have been consulted here, hold that Gen.

is on British ground and must answer q
summons from British court.
His Heart Failed Him.
London Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
The faint heart Of the brave General has
once more averted crisis in French his
tory. Boulanger left London last Tuesday,
with his plans entirely completed for an
immediate descent upon the French coast.
Thursday morning was the appointed time,
and either Brest. Nantes or Cherbourg the
place. When he learned that his plans had
been made known, and that the government
had taken measures to insure him warm
reception. he faltered. His chance then was
to strike suddenly and swiftly, but ne chose
to await more favorable opportunity.
Nevertheless the project is by no means
abandoned, and secret and reliable infOrma-
tion from Jersey is that most active or
ganizatiOn is n progress for an early de-
scent upon the French coast.
Already the League of Patriots is prepar.
ing the way by circulating manifesto in
the north of France calculated to bring
the military under the Boulangist standard.
The idea is to excite the patriotic senti-
ments of the army by means OF cleverly-
worded pamphlet in which the recovery OF
Alsace-Lorraine is declared to be hopeless
under the present regime. The Minister OF
War has ordered a strict inquiry to be made
and very strong measures have been taken
