Mrs. Eva Hamilton Pays Dearly
for knitting Her Nurse.


MAYS LANDING, n. j., Sept. l9.-The
Hamilton ease, which has kept this
sleepy little hamlet up to the highest
pitch of excitement for the past two
days. was brought to conclusion to-
day by the conviction and sentence of
the prisoner. When the court adjourned
the morning session at II 80 il was gen.
orally believed that the jury would
bring in a verdict of acquittal or there
would be a disagreement, but when
Judge Reed delivered his charge to the
jury, which was decidedly against the
accused, it was plain to be seen that it
had its effect. The jury was placed in
charge of the sheriff and retired. At
8 O'Clock, just one hour after going
out-they filed into the court room
again. and everyone scanned their faces
as if to learn the fate of the unfortunate
woman. The judge ordered the prisoner
brought into court, and the clerk asked
the jury if they had arrived at de-
cision. Immediately everything was
quiet, and Foreman Reeves replied:
1--WE have. We find the prisoner guilty
as indicted" Mrs. Hamilton was whis-
pering to her counsel at the time, and
as she heard the verdict announced,
started and gasped, but in second re-
covered herself, and gave no other sign
of emotion. The jury was polled, and
each answered guilty" as his name
was called. Judge Reed then sentenced
the prisoner to two years in the peni-
tentiary

ST. CLOUD, Minn., Sept. 19.-To-day
was Elk River and Princeton day at the
fair, and the excursion train from All
Okla and intermediate points brought
over LOCO people to the city. This
greatly increased the attendance this
afternoon, which was simply immense.
The special attractions to-day were bet

ball clubs. This afternoon they played
a game of ball, which resulted in VIC
tory for AnOka by score of to II. 1t

consummated in public, but that is
what the spectators at the fair to-day
were treated to. Among the at
this afternoon was wedding,
which occurred at 2 O'Clock.
Long before the time set for the cere-
mony the large building known as
Floral hall was crowded to suffocatiOn,
and precisely at the hour named band
met the party at the east entrance to the
grounds and escorted them to the hall.
Every eye was turned upon them from
the crowd in the hope of recognizing
some one they knew. but in this they
were mistaken. for the couple entered
the hall strangers, among strangers. and
almost strangers to each other. The
groom was Harry B. Babcock, a popular
young resident of Elk River. The bride
was Nellie Hughes, of Chicago. The
match is the result OF an answer to an
advertisement in a newspaper. The
correspondence continued, photographs
were exchanged, proposal of marriage
was made and accepted, as was
also the offer made by the
fair association. Yesterday Babcock
met his bride for the fist time in st.
Paul, and they came directly to this
city. The ceremony was performed in
a parlor arranged at one end of the
hail, Rev. G. NJ. Gamble officiating. An
orchestra struck up a wedding march
and the bridal party proceeded to the
parlOrs, Secretary Cooper and President
Tolman leading the procession, fol-
lowed by the bride and groom and the
clergyman. After the ceremony the
couple received the congratulations of
those in the parlor and then took a po-
sition at the main entrance, where the
crowd was given an opportunity to ten
der their congratulations. Numerous
presents were showered upon them,
ranging all the way from two coops of
chickens to $50 in silver by the fair as

A Millionaire Chicagoan Talks of
His Son i'm Jail at Duluth.

CHICAGO, Sept. ia special dis
patch published here this morning told
how John Lister Jr., the son of John
Lister, the millionaire glue manufac-
turer of this city, was yesterday con-
victed at Duluth. Minn., of grand lar
ceny. Mr.. Lister Sr. was interviewed
to-day. He talked freely about his son
and, according to the story told by him,

sheep of the family-and wouldn't care if
he did 90 to prison-that is, if he were
guilty. 1t might do him good. But in this
case he is not guilty. You see the case
against him was this: He was arrested on
the street for trying to sell some stolen ei-
gars. The property was fully identified as
having been stolen. no witne SIS appeared in
defense of Jack, and though his lawyer did
all he could for him. some cheap judge and
jury up there found him guilty of grand lar
cency. Now the whole thing was putup
job on Jack. He had fallen into tough COM

TOOK DESPERATE CHANCES.
Two Men Jump From a Burning
Building Receive Fatal Injuries.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 19.-Fire
broke out in the second story of the
Kansas City Desiccating and Refining
works at Kansas City, Kan, this even
ing and spread with great rapidity. The
local fire department was at the
scene early, but the fire soon got be-
yOnd their control, and assistance was
summoned from Kansas City, Mo.
When the aid arrived nothing could be
done but to prevent the spread of the
fire to adjoining buildings. The efforts
of the firemen in this direction were
successful. The desiccatiDg works were
entirely destroyed. The loss is
placed ats75, ,O9O; insured in twenty-four
companies for $4,000. The company
was a corporation, and the stock was
owned by Boston and Kansas City capi-
talists, Charles Francis Adams being
president of the company; &. w. Morse,
of Kansas City. treasurer and manager.
During the progress of the fire, Joe
Estinberger, an emplOye, jumped
with butcher knife IN his
hand from the second story,
In some way the knife severed the ar
teries IN his wrist and the wounds and
other injuries that he sustained are eX-
pected to result fatally. John Halpeep.
jumped from the roof and sustained
fatal injuries. During the most excit-
ing time of the fire. when Chief Hale.
of Kansas City. Mo-, was directing his
men from the roof of the engine
house, some one carelessly removed
the ladder by which he had assembled,
and when the roof of the engine house
gave evidence of its being about to fall
in, he could not descend. Finally he
was forced to take to the hose. He had
to slide down about half way when the
flames from above melted it. and he fell
to the ground, distance of about fif-
teen feet. He was but slightly injured.
Chief Hill, of the Kansas City. Kan,
department, was thrown from his horse
upon the curb and badly bruised. His
injuries are not fatal.

were stolen and asked him to sell them.
Ny son attempted to dispose of them and in
doing SO was arrested. As soon as the ras-
Gals who got him into trouble heard of his
scrape. they skipped out and went to Dakota,
leaving him to get along as best he could. The
verdict Is an unj just one and ought to be re-
Versed.''

the case TO higher courtf'
well. yes, l guess so. At any rate ! am
going to see what can be done. l have writ
ten to my sons lawyer, and as soon as hear
from him, / can tell what's the best course
to pursue"
Mr.. Lister went on to say that al
though his son is nineteen years old, he
has been over good share of the
world. When young he was wild, though
not vicious, and to get him out of bad
company, his father sent him to San
Francisco, at the age of fifteen wears,
and set him up in the cigar business.
He tired of this and went to sea. Since
then he has made whaling trips, been
shipwrecked and filed the position of
mate on fruit trading vessel.

ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. ia pro-
found sensation was created in this city
and at Hurley to-day when it became
known that a warrant had been placed
in Sheriff Mattson's hands for the arrest
of Chief of Police William Sullivan, of
Hurley, on the charge. of assault with
intent to commit rape. A woman
named Rica Languill. who lives at Hur-
ley, appeared before Judge CalklnS
yesterday morning and recited a
lengthy story in which she alleged that
Sullivan had assaulted her and deman-
ded that the court order her alleged
asSailant arrested. The warrant was
placed in the hands of an officer, who
went to Hurley at once to arrest Chief
Sullivan. The Ashland county officer
did not return with his prisoner to-
night, but no idea is entertained that
Sullivan has left the county, and 1t
is likely that he will be brought to the
county Jail tomorrow morning. Sulli-
van has scores of friends and will have
no difficulty in securing bail. The pre-
liminary hearing will probably occur to-
morrow morning. Sullivan was ap-
pointed chief of the Hurley police force
last spring, just after the annual town
election. and has been an efficient and
exemplary official until the present
trouble. He was formerly captain in
one of the GOgebic mines, and was
chosen for Office as a man of determin-
alton. average intelligence. and in other
wavs well fitted for the place. People
who know him say he has always been
a sober, quiet, modest sort of fellow.
He never was addicted to the use of in
toxicants until recently, when his
friends say he began to indulge in the
bowl that cheers and inebriateS. From
peaceable, efficient officer, Sullivan
then began to run down the ladder at
rapid rate and was days at time in an
intoxicated condition. 1t is claimed
that the woman he is accused of as
samlting has not the very best reputa-
ton. When the town board heard of
the charges against the chief OF police,

result was that Sullivan was dismissed

Attempfs Suicide.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. ia young
woman, who attempted suicide on the
sidewalk, at Broad and Race streets,
Tuesday night, has been recognized as
the notorious Carrie Gilchrist, who
created such a sensation about year
ago, when she deceived the most emf
nent physicians in New York and Jer-
sey City while patient in hospital in
the latter city. She was in the institu-
ton several weeks. and managed to re-
main in an apparently unconscious
condition. The doctors finally discov-
cred she was shamming. When found
by officers Tuesday night she either
had, or made believe to have, swallowed
arsenic, as she lay on the street, appar-
emily unconscious. At the Hahnemann
hospital she gave her name as Caroline
Maub, and said she lived in Camden.
Later she attempted suicide by hanging
herself to bed post. She was removed
to police headquarters. where officers
recognized her as Gilchrist.

Extensive Frauds by State Off
cials of Louisiana Unearthed.
New ORLEANS. Sept. 19.-InYestiga-
ton by the state officials and parties
largely interested IN state securities
continues to develop new cases of fraud
almost every day. Itnow appears that
forgery has been added to theft in the
fraudulent floating of bonds of the state
through the crlminality or carelessnesS
of the states trusted servants. In ad-
ditiOn to the S303, 600 of consolidated
bonds, upon which interest payments
had just been stopped, and many of
which presumably alD have been sur
reptiously put upon the market instead
of being cancelled, there have been dis
covered in private hands number of
the per cents issued under the act 121
of 1850, and known as constitutional
bonds, that are clearly an over
issue made in fraud. How the blank
form got out of the possession of their
proper hands, who fixed them up and
affixed the signatures of the governor
and state treasurer may only be dis
closed through the criminal courts. But
the fact is settled that while the highest
legal issue of the 500 series of these
bonds is No. 200, numbers at least as
high as 242 are outstanding, and of the
$500 series lthe legal limit of which is
No. 30) bonds as high as No. Sc are

change is about equally divided in the
discussion OF the bond question. Some
of the members state that Maj. E. A.
Burke, the late state treasurer, is posi-
lively to blame for the present trouble,
while others express themselves as sat-
isfied that the major will make such
showing upon his return as will at once
and forever quiet all doubts as to the
validity of the bonds outstanding, as
well as to the integrity of his admins
tration of the state treasury. A dis
