Here lie the bones of the man

BrummePs life is an interesting
one. In his younger days he was
rich eccentric, suspercilious in his
manner to the very nobility itself.
His apartments near Grosveno
Square were furnished in the
most sumptuOus manner, and he
possessed a collection of antique
silverware and faience of great
rarity and value. But misfortune,

been waiting for favorable opportun-
itv to kill his victim. He is said to re-
senb,e Bergman very much
and is armed with revolver
in one pocket of his coat and a
dynamite bomb in the other. The plot
was hutched IN Vienna and was given
70 the New York police by Vice Consul
Eberhavdt of Austria. The informa-
ton was given to Mr. Eberharit by an
Austrian who arrived in New York re-
Gently with letters from the high police
officials al Vienna stating that the
Austriap's story could be relied on.
The New York police az once notified
the Pittsh argh authorities and n close
watch fCf NaroSSt&fnfn is oefng kept
about all the anarchists resorts. The
police have = good description of the
fello" and will arrest him on sight.
As result OF the disclosures, addi-
tioral guards have been placed about

residence and detectives accompany
him wherever he goes.
The matter has been kept secret by

rotary Lovejoy has been warned that
he has until the 18th inst. to live.

Governor Roundly Denounced.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 1.-THE most
intense excitement was caused here
when the announcement that Governor
Buchanan had committed the sentence
Of Il. Clay King, who was to have been
hanged Friday for the murder of d. a.
Poston. The feeling of the people was
further intensified by the bitter COM
ments of the newspapers on the execu-
tive's action and a mass meeting
was held, at which Gov. Buchanan
was to have been hung in effigy. This
was not done at this meeting, however,
as many prominent citizens counseled
moderate action. Later an efigy of the
states executive was burned by few
enraged citizens.
The feeling over the governors ao-
ton is very bitter indeed and last even
ing it was given out that the Jail would
be attacked and the notorious prisoner
lynched. So great was the anxiety that
the criminal court judge. ]. ]. Dubose,
issued an order for the immediate re-
moval of King to the penitentiary and
the sheriff took him to Nashville by the
