A REVOLTING SCENE
Wife Murderer Bulling Failed
to Cheat the Hangman,
EE SHOT HIMSELF IN HIS CELL
A Clergyman Under Arrest for Furnishing
the Revolver

The Murderer Was Dragged 60 tho Gnl'
lows While bleeding from His wounds
Ho Cursed the Sheriff While the Blaob
Cap Was Being Adjusted--swung Into
Eternity with m Oath on His Lips.
ST. JOSEPH, No, Sep. 5.--An old sher
iff who was present at the execution Of
Louis Bulling the wife murderer, said
to-day in conversation with a press rep
resentative that he had witnessed
and assisted at number of hangings
but the tragedy Of yesterday was tho
most revolving he had ever seen.
Sheriff Barry had set the hour for the
execution at 10 o'clock. When he went
to the cell at @ o'clock to prepare the
doomed man for the execution, Bulling
pleaded so piteously for n stay Of n few
hours that the sheriff gave him until
O'Clock. When o'clock came Bulling
renewed his supplicauon, and falling on
his knees pleaded for one hour more.
His request was again granted, the
guard removed from the cell door and he
was again left with his spiritual adviser.
The silence Of the Jail was broken only
by the voice of the priest, when sudden
ly two shots rang out. The sheriff ran
to the cell and found Bulling PROSTATE
upon the floor, weltering in his own
blood, which flowed from wound in his
breast. He had shot himself twice.
A hasty examination of Bulling's body
showed that one OF the bullets had en-
tered the left breast and, glanoing from a
rib had passed around his body and come
out of his back. The other bullet had
only inflicted slight flesh wound In his
left side. He had not lost consciousness,
and when the sheriff ordered four depu-
ties 30 carry him to the scaf1old, he
cursed and swore at them in a horrible
manner.
The deputies dragged the struggling
man to the yard, and lifted him upon
the gallows. He refused TO stand and
they placed him upon chair. As he sat
there he presented q revolving spectacle
His hands and face were covered with
blood, which also stained his shirt, and
blood was streaming through his shoes,
that had run from the wounds in his
breast. He cursed and swore at the
deputies, cried and screamed for mercv
and shrieked.
The sheriff gave him a large glass of
brandy, and he swallowed II at one gulp.
Finally he was told to stand up He re-
fused, and four deputies held him up
while the rope was being adjusted. The
black cap was placed over his head, and,
yelling, screaming and blaspheming he
shot through the opening. The Rev
Lavak, who is believed to have supplied
the revolver, has been placed under
arrest. No one else it is Thought could
have given him the weapon.

Germany Ignores the State Department IN
the Pork Embargo Matter.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 5.-Secretary Rusk
in letter to the Hon. w. A. Hatch Of
Missouri, informing him of the removal
of the prohibition of American pork by
Germany, says the thanks of the farmers
of this country are due to Mr.. Hatch for
his efforts in their behalf, and especially
because Of his advocacy before the House
of Representatives Of the Meat Inspection
BILL without which the removal Of the
prohibition could not have been OBJ
tained.
The State Department has not been in
formed of the withdrawal of Germanys
edict The Department officials con-
slider 1t somewhat strange that the Ger
man government, through its Embassy
in Washington, should have informed
the Agricultural Department Of the re-
moval and not have sent the news to the
State Department.

srssL RAILROAD Tiga
Eow Being Given Practionl Test ny Ar
Eastern Railroad.


PHILADELPHIA, Sep 5.--The Philadei,
phia 6, Reading Railroad Company Is
making a novel experiment IN testing tae
thorough practioability of having steel
railroad ties instead of wooden ones. A
section Of track constructed Of steel rails
and ties on a stone ballast has been laid
on Ninth street, in the neighborhood
Berks street, and another section has
been introduced but little further Gus
on the line If these experiments prove
satisfactory, 1t will, In all probability, be
the beginning Of a general use of steel
ties on all the lines OF the company.
There has been a considerable portion
of steel-tie track laid on the New York or
Bound Brook division for several months,
and no better opportunity could be Of
fered to compare and test Il with the old
style, as the road is unquestiouably q
fine one. The tie Is steel and about the
usual length. It is fiat and followed out
like an inverted trough, which permits
the stone ballast TO work up solidly un-
der it, and Il is claimed that the longer
ind harder the wear the more solid and
stable the tie and roadbed become.
These ties were made in this city on
the principle of those used on railroads
throughout Great Britain and parts OF
Europe. Although the primary cost Is
about three times as much as wooden
ones it is claimed that they last 40 years,
whereas those now IN use endure not
longer than seven years. In addition to
the additional stability of the metal ties
they secure much smoother ride for
travellers. Their appearance is also In
their favor.
Experiments have previously been
made by other companies in the United
States, but the cost hashitherto operated
against their general adoption. ~ party
Of railroad men from New YoEk witnessed
the laying and frst tests of the new bed.
1t is stated that they were much i'm
pressed with the experiment.

FORCED 10 CUT WAGES.

Print Cloth Makers Deny that They De-
sire TO Break Existing Contracts.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Sep 8. THE man
ufacturers deny that there is any desire
on their part to break existing contracts
by determining to reduce wages,
A majority Of the contracts now held
by print cloth mills will have run out by
October and there was no prospect Of re-
newing them at this time at fair prices.
Manufacturers Of odd goods would not
consent to a curtailment Of production,
because they had contracts extending be-
yond the time held by those of print
goods corporations, and the only alter
native left was to produce goods at a
lower figure than they now cost.

England Playing a Double Game.

WASHINGTON, Sept "a Chilian high
in the confidence Of the insurgent leaders
is authority for the statement that Eng
land has been playing a double game in
the Chilian insurrection. While profess
ing sympathy for the insurgents her Min
lister at Santiago went far in certain di-
reotions to keep on good terms with Bal

tive for the Espeigle affair. The English

the success of the rebellion, and they
wished to be on good terms with both
sides in the interest of English commerce.
