ROUBAIX WON'T GIVE A SOU
The French Industrial Center Don't Wan
an Exhibit at the Chicago Fair.

tBy Telegraph TO the Evening Journal
PARIS, Sept. at was announced in
the papers here recently that the munich
pal council Of Roubaix, the great French
center for the manufacture of wooden
fabrics, had refused an appropriation re-
quested by the Roubaix chamber Of com
merce which was to be used for preparing
for Chicago a collective exhibit of the
Roubaix industries The. resident com
missioner here Of the exhibition has been
investigating the matter and finds that
this action is not directed against the
fair, but is due to local differences.
At the spring elections the working
mems party triumphed electing their
mayor and a majority of the council
They are arrayed against the manu-
facturers and merchants of the chamber
of commerce. Hence this adverse move.
When the mayor was asked to explain
this matter he said: 'The socialist
municipal council of Roubaix does not
see how Worlds Fair can do any good
to the working classes in general
Mr. w p. Atwell the United States
commercial agent at Roubaix, says THE
people here were at first apathetic with
regard TO the Chicago exhibition, but the
fear of foreign competition has aroused
them to the advisability of competing In
the matter of exhibits with England and
Germany" The action of the municipal
council is severely blamed by the local
press, which favors participation at Chi
cago
NJ. Maurice de Vilmorin, who is the
leading scotsman Of France, and who is
secretary Of the official French horticul-
tural committee for the Chicago exhibi
tion, recently said to the resident com
missioner here: "&rs. Potter Palmer
writes us granting the privilege
we had asked Of taking charge
Of the decoration Of the par
terres around the woman's building
Then we have been given over 2,0Ol
square yards east of the horticulture
building. On the whole our French hor
ticulturalists expect to have ample an,
effective share in the ornam entation o
the grounds.

NORTON, Va, Sept. 2-Tait Hall, the
Kentucky desperate, was safely hanged
at Wise Court House, Va, at noon today.
There were fears of an attempt at rescue,
but none was made
The murderer made speech on the
scaffold. The drop fell at 1874 p m.
and life was pronounced extinct several
minutes later. His neck was broken by
the fall.
Halls criminal record has probably
never been paralleled in the United
States. He is credited with nincty.nine
murders, and, while this is probably an
exaggeration, there is no doubt that
he is responsible for the death of
at least two scores of men. He was born
in Litcher county. KY. forty-six years
ago, and grew up with such desperodoes
as John Wright, who is credited with
twenty-sevcn murders. and Doc Tay

made themselves conspicuous for theil

system. One-half Of the work is done
in Boston. one sixth in New York City,
one fourth in Maine and the rest in New
Hampshire aud New Jersey.
Among the employees persons Of for
eign birth largely predominate. The
contract system is not in itself so OBJ

when unscrupulous contractors under

contractor employs men who for
wages get a royalty upon the amount

The train was viewed by large parties
during the night along the line. In this
city there were fully two hundred people
waiting as late as 2 a. m, snd they made
great noise If Sullivan heard it he
/ paid no attention TO it.
/ When the train reached Coeyman' s
Junction several sporting men from
! Albany and Troy headed by brass
band, marched to the station and boarded
the train.
When Sullivan got up this morning he
ate a hearty breakfast OF chops, four
soft-boiled eggs some stale bread, leg
of cold chicken and two cups Of tea made
with water that his handlers have
brought along in order that their charge
will not have to change when he reaches
the South.
The big fellow ate with relish, but
was not apparently in very good humor.
He spoke scarcely word during the
morning.
While eating he had on a blue sweater.
Several of the people ON the train re-
marked after looking at Sullivan that
the big fellow looked very cross and that
he evidently did not want to be bothered
He certainly appeared to be thinking
over something very deeply. His face
