ture of the fiend who assaulted Mrs C. l..
Taylor here recently has been found in
the fact that the asssilant has been prac-
tically identified as Jim Davis, negro
desperate. The officers are now on the
trall, and his capture is but question of
time.
Il it will be remembered that soon after
the crime a mysterious stranger came to
Sedalia TO gather certain information about
the reward offered. That stranger was
represented to be FeTrin, broiher-in- law
Of Jim Davis, who wanted to make sure
he could get the reward before giving evi-
dence that would lead TO the capture Of
the criminal

imported dress goods. Yesterday 5. c.

gated !. A. Cummings, manager of Kate
Reilly's fashionable dresmaking establish
ment in this city, claiming that Cum
mings had grossly insulted his wife, who
is employed in the place. He also said
that his wife and many other young
women were induced to leave England by
Kate Reilly's representations, who promis-
Ell them large salaries, aud also induced
them to smuggle large quantities OF wraps
and Partisan robes, which Wade claims
was the only object in bringing them over.
He has laid this information, before the
authorities, who visited the place and
seized several robes, which il is claimed
that Kate Reilly had smuggled into this
country. Wade has given the authorities
a list OF the women who have recently been
brought to America by Kate Reilly, and

SELF-PUNISHED.
Two Plotters Burned to Death by Fire Of
Their Kindling.

ST LOUIS, March 4.-'God has punished
u.s." God has punished usl" was the
moaning semi confession made by Mrs.
Marcus Cohen today OF an attempt at
arson, which resulted in the death of her
husband and brother-in-law, Marcus and
Abraham Cohen. just after 3 o'clock this
morning a terrific explosion occurred in
the building at No. 2,74 Chouteau avenue.
In the building dwelt Marcus Cohen, his
wife and three children and his brother
Abraham, over the store owned by Marcus
When the fire department arrived it was
found that Marcus Cohen, who had been
in the store at the time of the explosion,
was horribly burned. He could tell no
coherent story of the affair, and was re-
moved to a hospital. His wife and three
children (uniujured) were removed to a
place of safety. Then the fremen found
the body of Abraham Cohen charred be-
yond recognition.
1t was found that the gas fixtures had
all been unScrewed. allowing an unlnter-
rupted flow of gas into the store room.
An empty gasoline can was also found.
An inquiry also developed the fact that Il
night or two ago team was employed
nearly all night carting goods away from
the store by way of the back entrance
These facts, with other minor circnm-
stances, make II complete chain of evil
dence to the effect that the men had pre-
pared for an apparently mysterious con-
migration by the aid of escaping gas and
the free use of gasoline, but, inadvert-
emily, probably one of them lighted a
match, and the gas-laden atmosphere Of
the store Immediately exploded, causing
the results already named
Marcus Cohen, after being removed to
the hospital died of his injuries. The in
surance which it is now believed the men
planned to gain, but lost their lives in
stead was 50 500

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.

New YORK, March A Republican
morning paper states that the leaders of
the Republican party of this state held an
important conference at the Fifth Avenue
hotel last night 1t lasted till midnight
and was devoted entirely to a discussion as
to the best means of achieving success in
the coming election. Among those present
were Secretary Tracy. Senator Hiscock and
Chauncey NJ. Depew. A majority of those
present at the conference believed that the
denomination of President Harrison was
probable, although a number OF arguments
favorable to other candidates were made.
The names of the delegates at large to the
convention were considered. but nothing
like Il slate was suggested. Mr.. DepeW,
who regards the denomination of President
Harrison as both right and most expedi-
ent, was not, however, eager to 20 as
delegate at-large as the Harrison leader.
One of the most prominent Republican
leaders present personally advocated the
nomination of Secretary Rusk, who would
fifty represent the rugged honesty of west
ern Republicanism. ii Mr. Morton retlres
Secretary Tracy is regarded as one of the
strongest candidates for vice president.
After the conference was over one of the
leaders said: You know that until IL
month ago | was in favor of Mr.. Blaine.
We can win with any good candidate, but
l think that MIR. Ha 'rison is the man"
Another morning paper says that it is not
unlikely that Mr.. Platt's name will be
presented at the convention as a candidate
for the presidency

A TIRED JUDGE.

NEW YORK, March 4.-Judge Van
Brunt, before whom the hearing as to the
sanity of Edward NJ. Field is being held,
dumfounded everybody interested IN the
case today by suddenly announcing the
closing of the case. He said:
When this trial began counsel prom
ised me that it would consume but five
days This is the eighth day of the trial,
and the prospects of finishing this week
are rneagre gentlemen of the jury, you
are discharged"
For a moment all was confusion in the
court room,
"Well, I'll be damned!" remarked Mr.
Cochran.
"And so will l." concurred District
Attorney Nichols.
While leaving the room the Judge was
intercepted by the COUNSEL and was per-
suaded to return. He did SO, only to
adjourn court until tomorrow. The
Judges action is explained by the ne
cessity of his writing out the decision
which he will have to hand down at the
general term of the supreme court, over
which he will preside on Monday.

A GlIlLLoTINE HORROR.

BERLIN. March 4.-The details of most
horrible story were received here today.
A man named Hageman, in Slade, IN the
province of Hanover, was convicted OF the
charge of murder and sentenced to death
by the guillotine. Today was the day
set for the execution. When all was in
readiness the knife was released and fell
on the neck of the prostrate criminal.
To the horror of the spectators, the KNIFE
failed TO sever the head from the trunk,
and left the neck of the murderer In a
terribly mutilated condition. The awful
ness of the scene was increased when the
eXecutioner raised the knife of the gulllo-
tine and made horrible attempt to
wrench off the head of the unfortunate
man with his hands, while the blood
gushed in torrents from the gaping
wounds.
But in spite of all his tagging and twist
ing at the victims half-severed head, he
failed to tear it off, and he again placed
the body in position under the
guillotine and tried "A second time TO
behead the man by means OF the knife:
Again did the blade descend on the neck OF
the wretch, and again did it fail TO sue
cessfully perform its deadly work, and
only left the remains in a more mutlIated
condition than before.
The executioner then decided to abandon
this means of decapitating the man, and
tried another way to finish his ghastly
work. He procured sharp knife and
hacked and Slashed at the back OF the VIC
TINS neck, at the same time fastening his
fingers in the mans blood soaked hair and
pulling the head with all his force. At
length, after chopping through most OF
the flesh which still held the head to the
body, the eXecutioner succeeded IN tearing
the head away

to the archbishops and bishops of the
United States:
My attention has been called to the
suggestion that it would be eminently
fitting to celebrate with solemn religious
observances the 18th of October next, com
memorative of the discovery of America.
The most reverend archbishop of New
York and other prelates, with dis
tinguished laymen, have made a request
that the archbishops and bishops be ad
dressed, with a view TO the taking of some
concerted action in the matter. in order
that on the day mentioned, in all dioceses,
special religious services be held. 1t has
also been thought that these might be
succeeded, wherever practicable, by some
civil celebration in the evening With all
Difference | take the liberty of submitting
the question TO your gracious considera-

hierarchy would enhance the glory of the
celebration and invest the date with
particular solemnity. l need not say that I

have been in "A state of fermenJ that would

There is no denying the fact that the con-

men are capable of doing almost anything

PENDENT upon them. A few days ago the
unemployed worEingmen of Dantzic called
upon the authorities to furnish them with
tabor, no matter what it was, to keep them
selves and their families from starv

something would be done for them,
and today, IN obedience to
notice, 500 men proceeded to the land

would be carried to the municipal sewage
farms and put TO work. When they
arrived there the officials picked out 220
men 10 be taken TO the farms and said
that they were unable to furnish work for
lhe others. Those who were refused en-
ployment We're bitter in their denunciation
of the-triCk rs they termed it, that had
been played upon them.
Some of the men appointed themselves
leaders and made violent speeches. calling
upon the crowd to help themselves to food
If the authorities would not furnish them
with the means of getting it. The excite

was plenty in the shops was seized upon
with avidity. The mob rushed through
the streets, hurling imprecations at the
authorities and declaring that they would
steal before they would starye Every
baker shop they came across they looted,
aud some of the gaunt, pale-faced men
could be seen devouring the spoiIs in a
manner which showed that they had not
