FOR KILLING HIS DAUGHTER.
Arrest OF Chicago Man on the Charge
of Murder.

Arrest OF Chicago Man on the Charge
of Murder.
CHICAGO, Ill, March ia warrant is
out for the arrest of John Jones, clerk
in a large grocery store. charged with
criminal abuse Of his own daughter and
her subsequent murder. The girl, Mel
lie, II years old. died at the county hos
pital shortly before l O'Clock this
morning. the physicians think of arse
nical poisoning. Jones is a widower and
had seven children. Three of them are
in an orphan asylum, while he has kept
the other four, including the dead
daughter, in the most squalid pow
erty and neglect. Four DAYS ago
the Humane Society began an
investigation. Nellie, when closely
questioned, told the story that led to
her fathers arrest. Further she stated
that a young married man named Rich
ard Betting, living in the neighborhood,
had also abused her. Jones and Betting
were arrested Immediately. Jones gave
bail and has disappeared.
Yesterday afternoon an office Of the
Humane Society went to Jones' home
and found the girl lying upon the floor
suffering from severe pains in the stom-
ach. She was taken to the hospital and
grew rapidly worse until death ensued.

THEY DIED INSTANTLY.

Animals Executed by Electricity in New
York Successful Experiments.
Final experiments were made at New
York, on the 18th, by the state author
tiles to satisfy themselves as to the best
means of executing condemned Grim
inals Lv electricity. The first animal to
leave his troubles behind was a small
white cur weighing twenty one
pounds. One of the wires was
wrapped over some cotton waste, satu-
rated with water, on his right front leg,
and the other attached in the same way
to his left hind leg. The alternating
current at 700 volts pressure was applied
painlessly without noise or strug-
gle. The second was black
mongrel Newfoundland weighing
eighty-seven and half pounds. Con-
nections were made upon the middle of
his forehead with metal plate covered
with felt, and upon the right hind leg.
Eight hundred volts of alternating cur
rent for fifteen seconds killed him in
stantly. Other dogs weighing sixty
and and thirty-6ve pounds, and four
calves of approximately the weight of q
man were killed in the same way at
800 volts pressure from contacts of from
Is to 10 seconds. An 830-pound horse
then took the alternating current in the
same way at 600 volts pressure for %
seconds and died instantly. In every
case death was instantaneous and with
out sound or struggle. The expert
ments were under the charge of DR..
Carlos F. Macdonald, of the Auburn
State ASYLUM.

THE RECORD CORRECT.

The "Anarchist Case'' Disposed of for
Good by the Illinois Supre me Court.
The supreme court Of Illinois has de-
MED the motion to correct the judgment
in the case of Fielden and others against
the people, and at last the
Anarchist case" has been disp, Sc i of
so lar as the supreme court Is con-
cerned. The partiular portion of the
judgment sought to be corrected is the
wording of the first part of the order,
"Now on this day again came the said
parties" etc., ETC., the defendants at
torney urging that the parties
were not. in fact, present as recited
in the order. The court in denying
the motion, holds that the parties APP
peared in this court by attorney. 1t
would be impossible under the law, the
court says, to bring parties convicted of
crime from the penitentiary or Jail to
this court to be personally present
when the record of their trial was re-
viewed and passed upon.

OPPOSING PROHIBITION.
Prominent Catholic Clergymen Declare
for High License.


for High License.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 13.-The
Catholic Total Abstinence News, the or
gan of the Catholic Total A Abstinence I'm
ion, in its issue of to-day
comes out squarely against pro-
hibition on the ground that cit
will throw wide open the food
gates of illegal sale, and take us back to
the anti-high license period in Penn
sylvania, with the evils of the
same exaggerated hundred fold"
Among the views of the Catholic digni-
taries, the News quotes the following
from Archbishop Ryan: II believe, as
far as l am capable of forming judg
ment on the subject, that high license
and other laws enacted to preserve the
people from intemperance. if duly en-
forced, would be quite sufficient to at
tain the desired end-that is, as far as
mere legislation can maintain it. More
stringent laws could be enacted, If
found necessary. without touching the
constitution ITSELF"

Vault and Steals the Cash.
WATERFOWL, N. Y, March 11.-One of
the boldest bank robberies that has oc-
Cured in this section Of the state in
many years surprised the people of
Norwood, st. Lawrence County, Satur.
day. f. L. Smith, cashier of the Nor
wood Bank, was alone in the building
about noon, when Charles Phelps, the
post-office clerk, entered and asked for
some stamps. Mr.. Smith stepped into
the vault to get them, when Phelps
quickly closed the door and
turned the combination, locking
the cashier in. The robber then
turned to the money drawer and took
all the paper money that it contained
$278. Phelps had made arrangements
to have a horse ready, and started at
once for the Canadian border, about fif-
teen miles distant. Meanwhile custo-
mer entered the bank and released the
cashier Prompt action was taken to
prevent Phelps crossing the border, but
nothing was heard of the robber until
the midnight train arrived, and he was
discovered as one of the passengers and
arrested

CHICAGO DETECTIVES.
IL is Asserted That They Have Captured
Tascott Again.

Tascott Again.
A dispatch of the 10Th from West Sell
kirk, Manitoba, says: Tascott has been
captured at Lake Winnipeg. No par
ticulars are given. It is probable that
the right man has been captured at last
and that SMELLS murderer will be
brought to Justice. Amos j. Stone,
the dead milhonaire's son-in-law, and a
party of four detectives from Chicago
have been here Tor nearly three weeks
working on the varions clues 1t is
positive fact that Tascott was at
work near here for some time,
but he got tip in the way of
after Mr.. Stone left there and skipped
the country Tor miles around, but APP
parently without picking up the slight
est trace of the fugitive. An effort was
made to interview Mr.. Stone, but he
gave the reporters the slip and got
away.
A special from Winnipeg gives the
following more definite statement of
the capture of Tascott: "Some Indians
arrived by dog train at o'clock to-day
at West Selkirk, place twenty miles
from this city, conveying the news that
Tascott. the murderer of Smell, the Chi
cago millionaire, had been captured on
Lake Winnipeg by the Chicago detec-
ives, who, accompanied by relatives of
the murdered man, had been following
strong clue, with the result stated. for
the past few weeks. They arrived here
just after Tascott left his work to go, IS
he said, to Dakota. However, they are
now reported to be on their way to
this city with the captured murderer"
A dispatch received at 10 o'clock on
the night of the 10Th, from Selkirk, says
the Indians who brought the informa-
ton from Lake Winnipeg have gone to
one of the lodges at the reserve for the
night and cannot now be located.
Great excitement prevails among the
villagers at Selkirk, but many are disin-
clined to believe the report brought by
the Indians. The man who was traced
to Rat Portage by the Chicago party and
supposed to be Tascott is reported to
have gone North from that place, and
would undoubtedly strike Winnipeg on
his journey, as the country on the east
of the lake is almost impossible.

GROTTkAU A FREE MAN.
A Favorable Decision by the State Su
preme Court.

MADISON, Wis, March 1.-THE Croft
kau case was finally determined in the
Supreme Court to-day. Grottkau's
attorney had moved for a rehearing
on the ground that writ of error
would not lie in an action of the
state, thus bringing before the
supreme court for review the order
of the circuit court reversing the
order of Court Commissioner Ryan,
whereby Grottkau was discharged from
the house of correction. The supreme
court holds that when the cir
cult court, in criminal case,
decides in favor of the prisoner,
there is no appeal from that decision.
At the same time, the court grants
Wittig's motion for rehearing;
but as Grottkau's sentence Of
one year would expire on April
5, the case is dismissed because
the sentence expires by limitation be-
fore a rehearing could be had.
