HISTORY OF THR CRIMES.

Following is the history Of the crimes of the
four men who paid the death penalty:
James j. SlOcum. the first of the murderers
above, killed bis wife, Nellie, with an axe in
their rooms at ia Roosevelt street on the
night of December 81, 1889.
Mrs. Slocum was a young and handsome
woman, although she had led to some extent
a diss pated life in consequence of the con-
duct OF her husband. Slocum was at one
time a professional baseball player. For
some time before tho murder he was sup
posed to work as a 'longshoreman, but he real
ly was supported by the scanty earnings OF his
wife.
He and she spent most of their time in &
state of quarrelsome intoxication. lie beat
her freauentlv and stabbed her three times
but she made no complaint 10 the police
against him Slocum was but a short time
out of prison for larceny wheD he killed his
wife. On the evening of Deck.nber 81, 1889
he found her when he returned home in the
rooms of John Williams. bachelor. living On
the same floor, where she had gone 10 borrow
kerosene He ordered her TO her room and
slammed the door.
Neighbors heard the sound of blows as well
as the woman's cries for mercy. None of
them. however, came 20 her relief or were Gu
rious enough 10 ascertain the nature other In
iuries.
Two days sftsrward the door of Mrs. Slo-
Gums room WAS broken in and her dead body
found upon the bed. Her face was disfgured
and covered with blood and her head frac-

Three weeks later Slocum was arrested in
stable on Greenwich street. When asked why
he had killed his wife, he replied Il didn't

Slocum was tried before Judge MARITIME and
was defended by X. j. Heintelmann. who, IT
has turned out since. was not lawyer at all,

Wood was the third 10 be executed. He
came willingly, accompanied by the two
priests. and went through the ordeal bravely
with substantially the same results. The only
difference Ia the arrangement of his case was
the attaching of the negative electrode to the
loft leg instead of to the right. The reason
for this change was that there was
an liberated sore on tho right leg

sicians that the man was dead. In Kemmler's
case the burning of the body was ascrbed in
part to the fact that the sponges were not well
wetted. To-day the sponges were wetted con-
stantly.

hIeissonier. the Artist.

PARIS Jan. 3l.-Jean Louis Ernest
Meissonier, the celebrated painter, is
dead, age rs. He had been suffering
from bronchitis for fortnight
Jean Louis Ernest Meissonier was
born in Lyons, France, about 1914, and
went to Paris as a youth and entered
the studio of Leon Coquiet. He pro-
duced several great works, among others,
Gle Petit Messenger which since he
has become famous, has been greatly
valued. He was peculiar in his power
to give character to single figures and to
groups of figures either in violent action
or repose. His work is intellectual.
He has produced comparatively few
pieces, but each is a masterpiece of its
kind. Among his best known pieces are
the ''Chess Players" "The English
Doctor" ''The Reader" "The Painter
in his Studio, "The Guardhouse,' - 1.-The
Bravos," "a man in Armor,' 'sNapol-
con in Russia Charity" He has re-
ceived high decorations and medals, and
in 1867 was made commander of
the Legion of Honor. Fine examples
of his art may be seen at several private
galleries in New York. His son Jean
Charles, is an artist, also pupil of his
father, who has many imitators.

THEY HAVE MET.
Messrs. Cleveland and Hill Banquet To-
gether in New York.

New York, Jan. 31.-At dinner
given tonight at the Manhattan Club by
Senator William L. Brown to governors
of the club and few guests, ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland and Governor Hill met
tace to face. The centennial banquet at
the Metropolitan opera house two years
ago was the occasion of their last meet
ing. Since then they have been as
strangers, and many things said and
written of the men only tended to
widen the breach. To this condition of
affairs was due the great interest taken
in their meeting at the dinner tonight,
although the affair was strictly a private
one. The general opinion was that one
or the other of the gentlemen would
decline at the last moment, but both
men were there. Ex-President Cleve-
land was there as early as Z o'clock, and
moved about shaking hands and con-
versing in most pleasant manner At
quarter to 8 dinner was served, and
the banqueters, thirty-two in number,
took seats. The table was in the form
of an oval. At the head of the table sat
Senator Brown with Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor Jones on his left, and a seat on
his right for Governor Hill, who had not
arrived. At the opposite end of the
table sat Fred R. Coudert, president of
the Manhattan Club. On his right sat
Mr.. Cleveland, and on his left was Ben
j. Wood. At 10 O'Clock Governor Hill
was announced. AS he entered every
one arose and applauded. The governor
advanced to his seat, bowed to Senator
Brown, then, looking at Cleveland, he
smiled and bowed to that individual,
who returned the salute, and then, with
a bow to the rest present, he sat down,
as did the others. No embarrassment
or ill-feeling was apparent in the actions
of either one of the two men, who were
closely watched by all present. The
dinner and general conversation were
then resumed. 1t was understood at the
outset that no speeches were to be made

Half Seas Over.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Chief Justice
Fuller today announced that the Su-
preme court had decided to grant the
petition of the counsel representing the
British government for leave to file ap-
plication for writ of prohibition to pre-
vent the District court of Alaska pro-
ceeding to carry out its decree of forfeit
ure made in the case of the schooner
Seyward, hbelled for unlawfully taking
seals within the waters of Behring sea.
The order is made returnable on the
second Monday in April. This settles
the preliminary question of right to
Behring sea in the court and the matter
now to be settled is, whether or not the
court will decide that the writ of prohi-
bition should issue.

THE INDIAN SITUATION.
President Harrison Talks About Their
Grievance.

Grievance.
NEW YoRK, Feb. 2.-The World pub
fishes an interview with President
Harrison on the Indian question in
which he says: "Some of grievances
are real and some are imaginary, and
some are inevitable consequences of our
form of government. In the past years
he has often no boubt been robbed by
cattle rings, by agents and by traders,
but do not believe he is robbed today.
1 shall talk with the Sioux delegation
and if they desire council, 1 shall give
them full hearing and if any wrongs
are presented they will be met promptly
and thoroughly. ] believe, however,
that the main grievance is one beyond
my control. The tardiness with which
congress has ratified the agreements
made with them by the Sioux commiss-
ion two years ago and cutting down of
appropriation, recommended for current
years, but that they have been robbed
by agents, during my administration 1
know personally it is not true. The matter
has been thoroughly sifted and the
charge found wanting"

Free Coinage.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 29.-The free coin
age men are not SO sanguine of success
as they were a few weeks ago, and they
do not seem to feel assured that they
can get the bill out of the committee
This committee is now eight to four
against free coinage, and there the mat
ter rests. Speaker Reed has not seen
fit to recognize any one to move to take
the bill out of the hands of the committee,
although he has said he cannot see how
he can refuse such request if it is made.
In refusing, he would not be more arbi-
trary than Speaker Carlisle, who for
many months refused to recognize a
member to move the consideration of a
bill to reduce internal revenue taxes. It
may be safely said that the speaker has
not come to any definite conclusion in
the matter.

New Evidence in the Fur Seal
Controversy.

SEATTLE, Jan. 31.-James G. Swan, of
Port Townsend, has obtained and pub
fishes afidavits of numerous sealers that
fur seals are born all along the coast and
that the pups can swim as soon as born.
If this can be proven, it will change the
whole Behring sea controversy, as it is
claimed now that fur seals breed only ON
certain islands and that the species
would be exterminated if hunters were
not excluded from Behring sea. Judge
Swan offers to prove the truth of his
statement to congress, or federal COM
mission. Fur seals were never SO abund-
ant at Cape Flattery as now. They are
killing them by hundreds.

AN OLD SURGEONS VIEWS.
He Thinks the Indians Will be Peace

able at Pine Ridge.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 3l.-Major w. H.
Gardner, surgeon United States army,
is the first medical officer who has re-
turned from the seat of war at Pine Ridge,
having been ordered back to his station
at Angel island. The major has been in
the service about thirty years, and most
of the time he has been stationed right
in the Indian country.
81 am quite familiar with their GUS
toms and habits stated the surgeon to-
day. 81 am satisfied that there were
many causes which drove the reds on
the warpath. Like many of the lower
classes, they believe in the second COM
ing of Messiah who is to make them
happy in every sense, but principally in
that which will please their appetites
For a long while they had been INSULT
GENTLY fed, in fact, systematically
starved, so that they deemed it best to
get out and fight, preferring death in
that way to any other, Then it was that
the medicine man sprang up with the
'tghost shirt" He made them believe
that the shirt was i1npervious to bullets.
When the medicine man was found on
the field dead, with four bullet holes
through his shirt and the lead in his
breast, his theory received severe shock
in the estimation of bis followers. / do
not believe, like many others, that the
recent trouble was stopped by bad
weather and that with next spring there
will be another outbreak. The Indians
have had a severe lesson taught them,
and they will, l am sure, remain quiet
on their reservations.

Burial of Hon. VIM. Window, the Late
Secretary of the Treasury.
WAsHINaFeS, D. C.s Feb. 2.-The city
is truly in mourning today. The ex-
ecutive departments and their branches
closed all day and congress did not as
semble until 2 O'Clock in the afternoon
Flags ON all public buildings were dis
played at half mast, also those of the
hotels and business establishments
throughout the city. The treasury de-
partment was heavily draped in black.
These honors were paid to the memory
of the late Secretary Window, whose
remains were committed to their last
resting place today. The navy depart
ment and department of Justice were
also draped in mourning in honor of ex-
Secretary Bancroft and ex-Attorney
General Devens. The funeral was sim
pie in character and without the least
attempt at display, or ostentation; the
only semblance to military honors was
the presence of sixteen members of the
treasury bench National guard district
who acted as body bearers, and marched
beside the hearse.
During the forenoon today the dead
secretary lay in an open casket in the
family drawing rooms. The face of the
deceased wore a calm and peaceful ex-
preston. The sombre black covering of
the caskets was relieved by profusion
of beautiful wreaths, and flowers in var
ieus designs, the tribute of loving friends.
On the casket the only decorations
were cross of palm leaves and crepe
of violets around upper part of the lid.
The services consisted of singing by
quartette and a number of prayers. DIR.
Hamlin reviewed the statesman's life.
At the conclusion of the church services
the remains were conveyed to Rock
Creek Cemetery, and there inferred.
Floral offerings were beautiful and
numerous. At the house brief religious
services were conducted by Rev. DIR.
Hamel, pastor of the Church of the
Covenant. These services were private,
the only persons present being members
of the afflicted family, near relatives, the
president, vice president and members
OF the cabinet with their ladies'. The
funeral services at the Church of the
Covenant began at II o'clock.
While exceedingly simple they were
profoundly impressive. The attendance
comprised all the leading officials in
Washington and their families, includ-
ing the President and cabinet, diplo-
matte corps, justices of the supreme
court OF claims, senators, representa-
tives and officers of the army and navy.
The Ohio society of New York was also
represented. The church was crowded.
