Dan O'Donnell Says Phil. Hickey's
Voice Ordered Him Out Of
the Way.
The Owner Was Running From
the Scene OF tho Penrose
Tragedy.
O'DOnnelIa Life Threatened by r. j. Gill
gan, II He Remembered Too Much
SwOre to Get Even.

BUTTE, Aug. 12.-[Special. THE Penrose
murder trial began to grow sensational to-
day. Dan ODonnell. tho boy who was the
last one except the murderers to see PEN
rose alive, passing him on the corner as he
walked to his doom, and who saw three
men run down the street after tho shot was
fired, gave some additional evidence that
was surprise to most present. He said a
few nights after this occurrence he WAS
standing in front of Miners union hall
when he Was startled by hearing the same
voice which ordered him off the sidewalk
on that night. He turned around looked
the man in the face, and asked somebody
who that man was. He was told that it
was Phil Hickey. The witness also said
that the man running down the middle
of the street was in form and general ap-
pearance like Kelly. O'Donnell created
another sensation when he testified that
threats had been made against his life in
case he remembered too much. He said
these threats were made by T. J. Gilligan
and Others whom he did not know. p. j..
GilliRan was city clerk recently, but rs-
| signed short time before Penrose was
killed, and suspicion for a time fell on him,
the story being around that Gilligan had
his house guarded for several nights for
fear of violence on the part of Penrose'a
friends. O'Donnell's statements are
not credited by all. but he aroused Il sensa-
tion. this being evidently the first link
woven by the Pinkertons.
Jacob Oliver, deputy mining inspector,
testified that few weeks before Penrose'a
death, when an article appeared in the Min
ing Journal rejecting on Hickey, the latter
said to Oliver that he had never done any
thing to harm Penrose, but Penrose had
done good many things to harm him. and
that he would get even with the
before he left town. Oliver also said that a
few weeks after Penrose's death Hickey
left town for Boise City.

Tho Noted New York Newspaper Owner

POLAND SPRINGS. Me-, Aug. 12.-Georee
Jones, of the New York Times died here at
four O'Clock this morning. The story OF
George Jones life is the story of the found
ing and building up Of the New York Times.
Although Jones had reached the age Of 40
when he joined Henry J. Raymond in estab-
fishing the Times and had already made his
Wy to success and competence in other
tnslness enterprises, his earliest inclina-
tions brought him into the field of New
York journalism, and his return to it an
founder and publisher of the Times Was but
the fulfllment of his youthful ambitions,
and from the day when the.frst copy of the
Times was issued to the day Of his death
Jones has devoted to it, to the exclusion of
all other interests and affairs, his undivided
time and energies. His success has been
the success OF the journal he controlled.
His honorable career and repute are insepa-
ing OF his newspaper. & WAS in 1888 that
Jones came to New York. Greeley had rre-
ceded him by two yen1s. 1t was in the
business office of Horace Greeley's Tribune
that Jones became first connected with
Journalism, and in their early journalistic
life they were closely associated.
Mr.. Jones arrived here July 16. Anxiety
for his daughter who was quite sick, had
completely exhausted him. This and
complication of troubles caused him to
grow weaker and weaker. Tuesday he COM
menced growing rapidly worse and finally
died this morning. The funeral services
will be held Friday morning at 10 O'Clock at
DR.. Newton's church, Madison avenue and
Slxty-slxth street, New York city.

ago no became delirious and up to Monday
he recovered consciousness only at brief in
teryalH, when he gave members of his fam
lily signs OF recognition. Monday after
noon when the nurses changed the bedding,
he suffered intensely when moved and An
ally said, "Oh. why don't you lot me die."
These words were his last. He seemed from
that time to lose heart and gradually faded
away. lie continued in a comatose condi-
tion until 215 o'clock this morning, whom
the last spark of life went out. Beside him
IN his last moments were the sister of his
first wife and his daughter, Mrs. Edward
Burnett, and her husband, al we'll as nurses
and servants of the household.
At the mansion ON Elmwood estate. whore
Lowell died, there were no members of the
family to-day, but a daughter and son-ip-
law of the poet. His body lies in the Sleep
ing apartment whore the last hours of his
life were spent. His death was extremely
peaceful. Although it was known no could
not live much longer death was snavertheless
unexpected. The transition from sleep to
death was 30 easy that for few moments
nobody in the room observed that he had
ceased breathing. His eyes were closed and
they never opened. He passed away with
only henvy sigh to indicate the separation
OF great soul from worn out body. The
funeral will be held Friday at noon in Ap-
pleton chapel, Cam bridge. II ia probable
that Bishop elect Phillips Brooks will otfi-
ciate.
Mr.. Lowell himself never inquired az to
the nature of his malady, but from inquir-
les it is ascertained that gout afflicted him
almost constantly of late and also that
sciataca, hernorrhages and lattcrly q severe
type OF liver disease in turn affected him.
IIowelPs health has been impaired ever
since his return to this country in 1885 after
concluding his diplomatic services abroad.
About year and half ago his condition
became serious and fatal termination was
feared, but his health then had chance Of
recovery. Mrs. Burnett, his only child, has
been with him constantly. She is his only
near relative except brother, whose where.
Rbouts are unknown.

In a Frenzy of Delight.

Colon. Aug. 12.-Enthusiasm at Iquique,
headquarters of the Chilian insurgents,
over the arrival of the Maipo with arms on
board appears to have been indescribable.
El Nacional of that place, in an editorial
says that SO far, for want of arms the con-
grsssionalists were undecided and obliged
to act purely on the defensive. Now the
robust arm of every citizen would be able
TO weld weapon in the cause against the
dictatorship. The Maipo had hard time
during her voyage. In a frightful storm
she lost her rudder. Tremendous seas
bsoke over her and 1t was feared at one
time she would be wrecked, but the sea-
1nanship of commander Gomez pulled her
through and as the vessel neared Iquique,
the impatience of those on board knew
no bounds. Excitement on shore was
no less great. Thousands gathered
on the beach to welcome the officers and
crew, frantcally waving hats and making
every possible demonstration of joy. When
Commander Gomez stepped on shore and
said aloud to Senior Montt, IT bring more
guns and ammunition than expected" a
laundering hurrah drowned his voice.

FoKr BENTON, Aug. 12.-[Special.] The
cases of nine Cinnamon arrested fow days
since for being in the country illegally
were brought up this morning before United
States Commissioner Duff. Eight were
found guilty. the case against them being a
plain one. They will remain here for ten
days, the time allowed by law in which to
make appeal, and will then be taken to San
Francisco and returned to China. In the
case of Lee Sing, who was with the crowd
when captured, defense was made that he
was a legal resident Of the United States,
having formerly resided in Fort Benton
and Assinaboine. His hearing was set for
Wednesday, Sept. 2, and his bond placed at
$400, which was promptly furnished. 1t is
said that Chinese smugRled into the United
States by way of British Columbia are sub
jected to penalty of $50 per capita ON
arrival ON Canadian soil, and when arrested
by American customs officials they are re-
turned to China at government expense.

Whereas, Frank Brown, of Carroll
county, has announced through the press in
his candidacy for the governorship that he
appealed to the farmers of Maryland for
