LOVE AND LEAD.
Sensational Murder and Suicide
at AlhanY

at Albany.
ALBANY. N. Y, May 2.-About 1880
this afternoon a bloody tragedy was en-
acted st the West end. 1t was the old
story of illicit love. separation and in
sane jealousy. John Cullinan, aged
fOrty-two, came to this city two weeks
from Rochester, and secured employ
ment on the capital as a plumber.
Lately he has worked on the
new water works. Soon after
coming here he became acquainted with
Sarah Guardener, who lives with her
thirty, of slender build, and not unpre-
possessing. Her father is John Guarde-
ner, a messenger in the state library.
She was married to a man named Hal
lenbeck, but separated from him. Since
then she had kept house for her father,
and worked at dresSnaking. Cullinan
became infatuated with her and they
lived together. Recently she heard that
Cullinan had wife and family, and
she at once refused to have any
thing further to do with him. just
before noon to-day he went out, attired
in his best, and, after stopping in sa
loon, went OH to Sarah'S home, ,and tried
the front door. 1t was locked. Sarah
Guardener was the only one inside.
Her father had gone back to his work
after dinner, and the woman who lives
down stairs was away. Cullinan scaled
the fence of the yard adjoining, and
thus got to the back door. Meeting the
woman, he implored her to live with
him again. She refused and he there
upon whipped out revolver and shot
her in the left breast. When the police
attempted to arrest him he placed the
weapon against his left breast and fired.
Then he raised the weapon to his head,
pointed it at his right ear and fred. At
the second shot he fell and subsequently
died. The woman was removed to the
hospital in dying condition.

"a Fine House at the Carter Di.
't}sd VOrCo Trial.

CHICAGO, May 2.-The sensational
character of the testimony addnced at
the Carter trial yesterday drew large
crowd to Judge Jamieson's court room
to-day. Had it been proper to have
charged an admission to a court room
the bailiffs could have realized several
thousand dollars to some charity by col
lecting a small sum from those who
wanted to hear parts of the testimony,
which editors declared as ''unfit for
publication" When the court opened
the cross-examination of Harry P. Nash,
the ex-night clerk at the Cooper house,
was resumed by Mr.. Hynes. Mr.. Nash
was not at the Cooper house IN
1882, so he knew nothing Of the scene
described by Mrs. Morrissey nor the
condition of the grounds at that time.
Mr.. HyneS questioned the witness
about his having seen Mr.. Pearce stand
ing at Mrs. Carter's room door at IL
O'Clock at night. Pearce came into the
hotel Office and talked to MIR. Crittenden
about the beauties of Cooperstown.
Witness could not remember any other
conversation OF any other guest during
his stay at the hotel. Witness did not
know whether Mrs. Dudley or Mrs. Car
ter's maid was in the room when he saw
Pearce outside the door in which she
stood. Mr.. Carter called on witness in
Troy, n. Y, and asked him about the
case some time in the winter of 1887.

HURON, S. D., May AT the annual
city election held on April 2, the people
of Huron voted to issue bonds in the
sum of $4,000 to take up that amount
of the city's Indebtedness held in war
rants. A few days since a representa-
tive of the banking house of W. j..
Hayes & Sons, of Cleveland, O., came
here and purchased all the bonds,
paying therefor $25, $40. These bonds run

ally, Huron feels little nettled at the
attempt ON the part of one of the cities
aspiring for capital h0nors to create
the impression that Huron has with
drawn from the contest. In 1885 Huron
entered the race for the temporary cap
ital, and won. She is again booked for
the race in October. There will be no
back out or compromise with any other
town. Huron wants to be the capital of
South Dakota, and nothing less. When
Huron goes into fight she stays there
till victory perches upon her banners.
The people, by their votes four years
ago, named Huron as the capital of
South Dakota. They are not likely to

AN ASYLUM OUTRAGE.
Murder of Burns, a Lunatic, b,
Cook County Asylum Hands.

Murder OF Burns, Lunatic, by
Cook County Asylum Hands.
CHICAGO, May 2.-Coroner Hertz and
a jury to-day began an investigation
into the cause of death of Robert Burns,
/ a patient in the insane asylum at
Jefferson. Attendants Richardson,
Grogan, and Pecha, who are charged
with beating him to death, were pres
ent. The dead mans widow and her
brother testified that Burns was in good
health when he was sent to the asylum,
and that the only abrasion on his body
was one of his legs, which had been
injured. The most damaging testi-
mony was that of Charles Beck, re-
porter who successfully played the in
sanity dodge and was admitted to the
asylum, where he was an eye witness
to much of the brutal treatment which
reduced Burns in ten days from strong
man to complete physical wreck, re-
sulting in his death. The story was one
of the most
REVOLVING AND HEARTLESS CRUELTY.
The witness detailed at great length
the repeated acts of brutality which the
three accused attendants inflicted upon
the unfortunate man. He declared that
.dazed and incapable of understanding
i what was wanted of him. Beck said
that upon their arrival at the asylum
! they were given cold baths. then he and
i Burns were left shivering in cold
room fifteen minutes, then, after eX-
animation by the doctors, the attend
( ants took charge of them. Burns was
ordered to sit on bench. He seemed
not to understand and did not
do so, whereupon he was vio-
i lently thrown upon it. Ris-
J ing, in a. dazed and helpless
way, attendant Richardson kicked him
} violently in the abdomen. Burns again
, arose and tried to walk away, when
] Richardson caught him by the collar
{ and threw him to the floor. And SO
the brutality continued, the three at
! tendants, Richardson, Crogan and
8 Pecha, each taking part in it, kicking
'fthe helpless lunatic in the side and
stomach; striking. and cutting and
/ bruising his face with their fists. They
undertook to dress his wounded leg,
jerking him about roughly and causing
EXCRUCIATING AGONY,
meantime continuing their blows.
When this was done, Crogan picked up
OHO Vi DuIuS ouOCS, Niu UdAluS ~ Oy
the toe, beat the unoffending patient
over the head with the heel Of it, cut
ting great gaShes aid covering the un-
fortunate victim with his own blood.
BY this time he was in semi-comatose
condition, fast losing consciousness. He
was then jerked out of his seat, which
was covered with blood that had run
down from his head. That night
the witness and Burns were
put into the same cell. Burns
was ordered to remove his
clothes; but not complying was slapped
and cuffed. Finally the attendants
stripped him, and then Richardson
kicked him in the abdomen, knocking
him across the cot. At another time,
the witness said. he heard the sound Of

One of the Siayers Of the Bohe-
milan Bull Attempts to Cremate
Himself in the Jail.
Shortly before II o'clock, Wednesday
night, Sheriff Bean was aroused by a
terrible noise issuing from the left
upper corridor of the county Jail. Hast
ening to ascertain the cause for all this
hubbub, he found that Michael Chesak,
one of the Polanders held for trial on
the charge of numbering Frank Kohout.
had set fire to the bedding in his cell.
eXtinguished the lncipient blaze
and then turned to learn the
reason for this strange proceeding
ON the part of the Polander. CheSak
would not be pacifed. but endeavored
to inflict punishment upon JaiIer Peter
son. The sheriff thinking the man was
crazy ordered him placed in straight
jacket until yesterday morning, when
information of insanity was filed
against Chesak in the probate court,
and an examination was held in the
corridors of the jail, the prisoner being
too violent to be removed to the court
room. The examiners pronounced the
prisoner insane, and it was agreed,
with the approval of Judge
Kelly that Chesak should be
committed to Rochester. The jailer
sass that the conviction and sentence
of KaZala, another member of the gang,
seemed to affect Chesak, and his con-
duct gradually became more of the ma
ture of an insane person. The case is
probably genuine, and if the judge ap-
proves of the commitment, Chesak will
go to the asylum instead of Still water.

CALENDAR CARNIVAL.
Young Methodists Give Uniqu g
Entertainments.


A somewhat unique and decidedly
successful entertainments, was given
last night by the young people of the
Central Park NJ. E. church, in the
church parlors, in the shape of a "Cal-
endar Carnival" A well-planned and
well-carried out church social is always
enjoyable, and this occasion was
especially pleasurable, for the
months held high carnival. The
twelve class rooms on the two
floors were distributed among the
months, each one of which sought to
out-do all others. AS each had its spe-
cial attraction, it would be difficult to
name the most attractive and success
full. The first month of the year, Janu-
ary, properly represented by the re-
ception of visitors, was admin ably
cared for by the Misses Luiey, r.
Smith Golfer and Mr.. Knauft, who re-
ceived calls and provided light re-
freshments free of cost. Miss Halo
well and MIR. Forbes. assisted by Cupid,
Max Elwell, dispensed valentines from
the gaily draped February booth.
March was a delightfully."- realis-
tic sugar camp, where the
Misses Armstrong and Messrs. Beak,
Feltham and Greene served the
toothsome maple wax and kindred
wholesome Sweetmeats. April was man
aged by Misses Dawson, Stephens and
Rice and Fred Kuster, whose brain and
skill had been combined in an attractive
art gallery. This must be seen to be ap-
preciated, almost every production on
the catalogue being masterpiece.
Admission Free was the sign April
had on the outside, and within there
was standing room only, and very little
of that. May was radiant with beauty;
managed by Miss c. Smith, Miss Brown,
Mr.. johnson and bevy Of pretty little
lasses. Paper flowers, so like the real
as almost to deceive experts, kept a crowd
about their booth. June was bower of
natural flowers, both cut flowers and in
the pots, and in the midst beamed
Misses Sharprack and Bell and MIR.
Luley. July was overtoWing with pa
triOtism, flags. popcorn, and lemonade
Messrs. F. Shepherd, Gay. and Wood.
where sweets were dispensed by Misses
Hoyt and Lynch aud Messrs. S. Meeker
and Smith. AS an exhibition of our
marvellous Minnesota climate, Septem-
Der supplied strawberries and cream,
which were served by Mrs. Cowen and
the Misses Hawthorne. Reeves. Miller,
Hall and Dawson, assisted by Messrs.
Evans and Cowen. AS a pleasant
resting place October was sought by
the weary, who enjoyed the games pro-
vided or sat for shadow pictures. Mrs.
Leslie, Miss Dennison and Mr.. Leslie
were in charge. In the November
booth thanksgiving dinner was served
by Miss Taylor and Messrs. Risser and
Bavor. Turkey and genuine pumpkin
pies were on the bill OF fare. Christ
mas presents were sold in December by
Misses Hurtt and Shepherd and Mr..
Meeker.
This delightfully."- novel entertainment
will be repeated this evening, and
everyone will be given hearty well

BRAZIL, Ind, May 2.-The block coal
miners of this district. 1900 in number,
quit work to-day because of disagree
ment with the operators over the yearly
scale OF wages. A secret delegate meet

that the delegates entered the conven-

offer. with the exception of the Nickel
Plate, Chicago and Jumbo mines.
About one-third of the block miners of
the district work in these mines, but the
vote instructing the delegates was very
small and rather evenly divided. 1t is
generally understood among the miners
that strike is OH. The operators offer
70 cents. but the miners have not yet
committed themselves to any price. OF
1000 bituminous coal miners, less than
