"No act of solicitation is pardonabls
in connection with this, the highest
office in the world, but as chairman of

state, which in the past has done
me such distinguished honor, and

best and most faithful services of which
l was capable, feel that l owe to you
an entire candor in the statement of my
position. will rely upon you to make

Mrs. Jewell Responsible.

making Coy horrible example, and
these thought fire the best instrument,
Mrs. Jewell Responsible.
The crime, the pursuit, final capture
and awful death of Coy continues the
all-absorbing topic on the street. 1t is
now known that Mrs. Jewell was al
lowed to name the manner of death,
that of burning, and that she came into
town with the firm resolve of lighting
the wretch's funeral pyre with her own
hands, and she was accorded that privi-
lege.
During the seven days of search sig
nal had been agreed upon to be given
from Jewell's house just as soon as the
guilty party was known to be under
arrest, in order that all neighbors might
come in and take part in the further
proceedings. A large, worn-out circular
saw blade had been suspended on pole,
and when it became definitely known
that Coy was captured man took up
an ak and struck the saw blade num-
Der of blows, which made a sound that
could be heard two or three miles, This
was the signal and the whole neighbor-
hood was soon moving in one direction,
with only one common purpose. When
Mrs Jewell identified the negro, her
husband, who was present, drew his ro-
volver and was with difficulty prevented
from killing him.
Coroner's Verdict.
Coroner Dean Saturday night sum-
moned jury Of inquest and viewed the
remains. The verdict reached was that
deceased came to death by burning at
the hands of parties unknown. The
charred and blackened remains were
taken from their fastenings and pre-
pared for burial about II o'clock Satur-
day night. 'fhe body, which was
burned to crisp and drawn out of all
semblance to the shape of human be-
ing, was placed in neat box, and for
several hours lay at the undertaker's s
rooms, where it was viewed by hun
dreds of people About II o'clock Sun
day the box was loaded into one-horse
wagon, and all that remained of Coy
was driven to the potter's field and in
tered, followed by only two silent
mourners on horseback.
Negroes Excited.
The negroes are considerably worked
up over the affair, and held several
meetings Saturday night and discussed
the matter. While they were not op-
posed TO the death penalty in Coys case,
they thought burning too severe, and
that hanging OF death by shooting was
sufficient.

BEATEN, CUT UP AND BURNED.
A Horrible story which the Reader Can
Believe or Let Alone.

TORONTO, Feb. 23.-The chief of po-
lice of this city has just received infor-
nation of very sensational murder. 1t
appears that a few nights ago a peddler
took lodging at a hotel at Loretto, a
small village in Alaja county, a district
populated almost exclusively by Roman
Catholics. He found party of villagers
in jolly mood, drinking and smoking
around the barroom fire. They demand
ed a song from the peddler, who hesi-
tated to comply, saying he knew nothing
but Orange songs. The crowd, however,
insisted. and the peddler complied, but
the sentiment of the songs so exasper-
ated the crowd that they set upon and
beat the man to death. Suddenly So
bered by their murderous deed, they
shut up the house and spent the rest of
the night in cutting up the body and
burning il in the stove.

THE INDIANAPOLIS HOLOCAUST.

bic for Their Own Deaths.

BILE for Their Own Deaths.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 20. Coroner
Marker has furnished the press with a
copy of his verdict in the case of the re-
cent surgical institute fire. The verdict
is complete whitewash. IL is very
voluminous and finds that the nineteen
victims of the institute met their death
by suffocation, and not by burning; that
all might have escaped but for their
fright and excitement; that adequate
means of protection and escape were
provided; that the police, fire depart
ment and employees of the institution did
their whole duty in assisting the in
mates TO escape; that the management
did not comply with the law requiring
printed notices of the location of fire
escapes and how to use them TO be post
ed, but ii was held that the acquant-
ance and familiarity of the inmates with
the construction of the building prob
ably obviated the necessity Of this. The
conclusion of the coroner is that tho
management has furnished all reason
able appliances for prot. ction, and 1t is
held blameless The vindication Of the
management is as complete as though
the verdict had been written by DR..
Allen, proprietor OF the institution, him

THE PURITY OF THE BALLOT.

The secret ballot is the unknown guam
tity that disturbs calculation as to the re-
suit of the voting. The Australian sys-
tenn, or some modification OF it, is in op-
Grafton in the following twenty-eight
states: Arkansas, California, Connecti-
cut, Delaware, Indiana, Maine. Michi-
gan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana,
Maryland, Nebraska, New Hampshire.
North Dakota, New York. New Jersey,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Tennessee, South Dakota, Illi-
nois, West Virginia, Wisconsin, WASH
ington, Wyoming and Vermont. Ad-
vantage is claimed by both parties from
the operation of the new system, which
Is half admission from both of unfair
and dishonest practices in elections. If,
therefore, the Australian ballot shall
have the effect, or more properly has the
effect of eliminating unfairness and dis
honesty from our popular elections. it
will be hailed by all fairminded and pat
rictio citizens as harbinger of good for
the country. The most serious menace
to our form of government is the en-
croachment that has been made upon the
liberty of action on the part of the citi-
zen IN the exercise of the elective fran.
chise.

WHENCE THE WATER OF THE

From the Chicago Herald.
Where do the waters of Lake Aiichi.
gan come from? is al old question, and
it is question as old as The artesian
wells. Where do their waters come

the government interests on tie lakes
was fond of talking on the first subject.
Every drop of those waters he was

sinking of artesian wells in Chicago and
