BACK FROM THE ARcTIcs.

Lieut.. Penry and His Band of Bold Ex-
piorers Reach st. Johns in Safety.
ST. JoHN's, n. F., Sept. 12.-The Kite
arrived here Sunday afternoon from
North Greenland, whence it sailed
August "a. On board are the entire
Peary relief expedition in good health,
with Lieut.. and Mrs. Peary and party,
except Mr.. Voorhoof, who, it is be-
lieved, lost his life by falling into the
crevasse of the glaciers at the head of
Robertson's bay.
With the exception of this casualty,
which has saddened both parties, the
two expeditions have been eminently
successful. Mr.. Peary has carried out
his plans fully and made Il great inland
ice journey of l,50O miles with
MIR. Astruph, and the members of
his party who remained at McComicls
bay have made rich. collection of the
flora, fauna and ethnology of north
Greenland, besides which he has DEM
onstrated the ease and comfort with
which winter can be spent in the
arctic regions. The relief expedition
has been equally fortunate.

IY. Porter, Our Munster to Italy, Resigns
-Hs VIII Probably Take Part in the In
diana Campaign.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-A ca ablegram
received here from Rome announces the
resignation of Albert Il. Porter, United
States minister to Italy. The announce
ment will not surprise persons in official
circles here if the report be verified. 1t
has been expected for some time that
Mr.. Porter would resign as soon as the
''incident" with Italy arising out of the
lynching of the Italians in New Or
leans had passed sufficiently into the
history of happily-ended international
difficulties to permit of his retirement
without any suggestion that it was due
to the entanglcment arising while he
was United States minister to Italy.
A the time Mr.. Porter returned to
Rome after u prolonged absence occa-
stoned by the recall of Baron Fava it
was stated that he would before long
tender his resignation to enter politics,
and it is presumed that this announced
intention has been carried out, though
the absence of President Harrison, Pri-
vate secretary Halford, Secretary Fos-
ter of the state department, and others
delays its verifcation in Washington.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 10.-When
Minister Porter left for his post in
Rome last May he notified Chairman
Gowdy that he would resign about the
middle of September to come home and
take part in the campaign. Mr.. Gowdy
is well pleased with the addition of
Mr.. Porter to his list of speakers.
There is no more popular man in the
utate and none better acquainted with
the common people.
1t is probable Mr.. Porter intends be-
coming candidate for the United
| States senate. 1t is well known that
he wanted to be a candidate in 1887,
| when Gen. Harrison was defeated by
David Turpie, but his respect for Gen.
| Harrison restrained an active competi.
tion. If he decides, in case of repub.
lican legislature, to stand for the
United States senate, the race will bs
| between him and c. w. Fairbanks.

Two Negroes Executed In tho Peniten.
tinry at Columbus, o.

tiary mt Columbus, u.
COLUMBUS o., Sept. edmund Nc
Carthy and Charles Craig, colored, were
hanged in the annex for condemned
prisoners in the Ohio state prison
shortly after midnight.
Mccarthy killed Charles Netterman,
a drummer at Cincinnati, on the night
of August 2S, 1890. His crime was what
is known in law as "misadventure"-
that is to say, he intended to
kill one person and, by mistake, took
the life of another. Mccarthy did not
intend to kill Netterman. Whom he
thought he was killing the murderer
never divulgcd. That was immaterial
in the trial, however, as the law
Furnishes murderers for their intent.
The night before the murder Mccarthy
had a quarrel with some young fellows
over woman of the town. A fight en-
sued, in which Mccarthy was worsted.
He saw Netterman at moonlight pic
mic the next night, and mistaSing him
for his assailant attacked him with q
knife, almost severing his head from his
body at single blow. He escaped
into kentucky and was captured some
weeks later at Florence, in that state.
An attempt was made to prove insani-
ty at the trial, but it was a failure. He
was crook, and ut the time the mur-
der was committed was paroled pris-
oner from the Ohio state penitentiary.
Charles Craig murdered Mary Craig,
woman with whom he had been liv-
ing in an adulterous state for several
years The crime was committed in
Cincinnati the morning of September
i3, 1890. She was tickle in her attach
ment to him, and would frequently
leave him for other dusky admirers
Craig was coal shoveler and
of low intellectual order. On
these occasions he would drink heavily
and become frantic with jealousy and
rage. She found him in this condition
the morning of the murder. Assault
ing her with a large pocketl1nife, he
stabbed her fatally and left the
house, but shortly returned and,
sitting upon her prostrate body,
deliberately hacked her face into
an unrecognizable mass. Then he
gave himself up and made full con.
fession. Asked to plead to the indict-
ment for murder in the first degree
brought against him, he said he was
guilty and asked to be sentenced.
This is one of very few cases on
record where n sane person indicted
for capital offense has waived
the right to trial by jury, and
his attorneys subsequently attempted
to secure a trial upon the ground tha,
person in the condition of Craig had
no right to waive jury trial Ali the
state courts passed upon the question
and held that while no one could be
denied the right of jury trial any
person might refuse it when offered.

SLAIN IN A SEWER.
Terrible Fate of Three workmen at Jersey
City.

JERsEf CITY, N. j., Sept. 13.-Three
men lost their lives in a receiving basin
of sewer Monday afternoon. A
gang of men had been cleaning
out the sewer basins. They had
met no unusual trouble till they
reached the manhole where the
fatality occurred. Foreman Volanski
descended ladder into the basin,
which is about 12 feet deep, but the in
slant he reached the bottom he
shriel1ed and threw up his hands inn
ploringly. The workmen dropped a
rope to him, but when by its aid he had
nearly reached the outlet he let go
the rope and fell back upon the sewer
bottom, remaining there in a sitting
posture. Thomas Kane went down
to Volans<i's rescue and the effort cost
him his life. With a cry of suffering
he collapsed and dropped upon
Volanski his face falling into the
filthy water. Edward McNally then
went down and he too was overcome.
McNally was finally brought out, but
was then too far gone and died within
two or three minutes.

The NIcKinlax Btll.

Spokane Review. The democracy is
right for once. The Mckinley bill is
responsible for the lockout at Carnegie's
works. It actually reduced the duties
upon the chief articles manufactured at
Homestead to the extent of from twenty
five to thirty per cent. The, Mckinley
law cuts Carnegie in another manner.
1t permits the free entry of raw products
used by American manufacturers tor the
export trade. and to that extent has
placed many of his products upon the
free list. The stupidity with which the
democratic papers are pointing out the
Homestead lockout as a tariff lesson is
very funny. 1t is lesson indeed; but
one that warns the country against free
trade.
