In the afternoon he came out and
SAID the police and superintendent
Matthias We're trying 10 murder him

Soon after he stepped up to Matthies
and deliberately fired two shots into his

gathered, and ten policemen had n
d1hcult task to get the murderer out.
The Workinsmcn wanted to lynch him.
Bradley hid behind Il pile of cornice
material, revolver in hand The police
fired number of shots and ordered
him to come out. Bradley finally came
out on the run and when the policemen
seized him, fought like wildcat.
1t required severe clubbing to sub

EDWIN GOULD \ VICTIM
Crank Demands $1,000 or Tip on the
Markct-GetS Il Detective.

New York, oct 3O.-Edwin Gould.
second son of the late JAY Gould, had
his first startling experience with Il
crank this afternoon.
At > O'Clock Gould was sitting in his
private office when Il shabbily dressed
man entered and walked to his desk
and said;
Give lnc that $4,000 and give il to
me quick OF give me Il tip on the mar
kct'
Gould asked him to sit down until
he could get the money from the safe.
The crank sat down and Gould, step
ping to Il side door, summoned Dctec-
tive Clark, who quickly took the Young
man 10 police headquarters. Gould was
prepared for his visitor who had cal
led at noon today and being told by
clerk that Gould WAS out said he would
return by o'clock when he wanted a
tip on the market or 5000.
Tho crank'S name is Mongolia An
dreWS and he is thirtyfour years old.
His object i'll going To Gould was to
get back $4,000 which he lost in Rose
dale, Kansas, while working on Il rail
road in Gould'S system His home is

CHICAGO ON NEW YORK

The splendid closing Of the fair gives
the Chicago papers an opportunity to
rebrkc New York which they are not
missing. The Herald is particularly
savage and yields to the metropolis no
virtue. Fortune and the tides made
her, it SAYS, and none OF her greatness is
due to her own enterprise. II adds:
The lack of patriotism that attend
ed her entrance into the union has been
visited Oh her us IN original sin. Lit
tie or no American fruit of a worthy
kind has grown on the New York tree
AS she gave no splendid ability 10 the
revolutions; little sympathy to the con
Stitutional convention, she figures
meanly i'll national rcnoWn. Her
sterility is phenomenal. She has
served chiefly as an ovcrtloWplace for
European and New England brains.
Her Journalists of note have been
Greeley, Bryant Dana, White, Turner
all New England men. The elder Ben
nett was an alien; MI. Pulitzer is Hun
garian; Mr.. Godkin is Irish; SEIZURE
and Ottendorfer are German; White
law Reid and John Cockeri!l are Of
the west. In literature she did not
produce Hawthorne. Poe. Whittier,
Holmes, Mrs. Stowe, Charming, Ban
croft, HaIleck, Motley, Curtis. Ripley,
Aldrich, Stedman, o'Reilly; Holland.
who founded her principal magazine.
nor Glider, who continues it: Mrs.
Burnett Howells, Mrs. Cathcrwood.
ITO neither army nor navy of thc
civil war did she give Il pre-cmincnt
name; and having ciutched Grant. dead,
to her embrace, she continues 10 dis
honor his grave beneath an unfinished
tomb. Nor does science shed luster on
New York. Hers are not Fulton,
Franklin, Roach, Field, Bell, Cray.
Roebling nor Edison. The orators have
not been hers-Webster, Phillips,
not been hers. Her most distinguished
gospeler, Protestant OF Catholic, is
Irish. Her boosted sculptor was born
in Dublin. Her conspicuous painters
are Of foreign birth or extraction, or
migrated from Indiana, like William
NJ. Chase, or, hike Kenyon Cox and
others from Ohio and the south.
George Fuller, the truest Of American
painters, was not hers, while Inness, q
good artist born in her state, she has
long neglected because he paints Amer
lean subjects. Her chief musicians are
not New Workers.
washington Irving is hers, but he
went to foreign lands as soon as he
could; be stayed away as long as pos
sible, and found in his native state 10
materials except for her comic history
and no inspiration except to make fun
Of her.
Another chastisement inflicted Oh
New York for lack Of American spirit
is that as fast as mere wealth assumes
dimensions there it voluntarily seeks
alienation. The Astor case is only an
aggravated one in an always increasing
list. Even Peter Cooper could not live
there; nor James Gordon Bennett"

CABINET CRISIS.
Fran is Joseph Receives the Austrian
Minister'S Resignation.

Vienna, Oct 3o.-Emperor Francis

net Prince Won Windisch-GretZ, court
chamberlain and member Of the priyy
council, is i'll communication with Count
lIohcnWar EUR GarlectStcin on the sub
ject Of Il coalition ministry
The resignation Of the Taaffe cabinet
is likely TO bring matters i'll Austria
10 Il crisis The cause Of contention
is the franchise bill, by which the
number of electors would be greatly i'll
CREASED. In this the Germans see Il
radical disadvantage Oh account Of the
numerical superiority Of the other ma
tionaIticS
The position Of the Taatfc ministry
has also been greatly weakened by the
fcdcralistic project by which the
CZechs rs Wril az tho IIun2arians were
to be pacified. This project is favored
by the Germans because il involves
the autonomy Of Bohemia, and if car
ried ont Bohemia could be more easily
absorbed by Germany
Count Taai1c is not in sympathy with
Germany, ans his diplomacy was not
favored by Emperor Francis Joseph
His position has been prccarious for
some time and no wonder that his
tenacity in serving the empire in The
way he thought best has left him.

MISS HOWARD ILL.
Has Been in Il Serious Condition Since
Mr.. HarriSon'S Assassination.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Nliss Annie How
ard, who on the 10th of next month
was to become the bride of Mayor Har-
rison, is dangerously i'll, and there are
great fears that she will never quite
recover from the dreadful shock she
has sustained.
Never robust i'll health, she was com
letely Frustrated. When the mayor
lay wounded his first cry was for An
ME" She came, ANA on his torn and
dying body threw herself in an agony
of grief. As her lover died she faint
ed. Gentle hands took her from his
side and placed her on Il couch
When she recovered she cried against
fate and begged that she. too. night die
and go down into darkness with him.
1t required time and opates to soothe
her grief, but even after consciousness
had departed it could be seen that she
was suffering the most poignant phys
ical anguish.
At present she is calmcr. but there
Is too much reason to believe that she
will never be the woman she was be-
fore the tragedy. This afternoon her
brothers. Frank and Harry T. Howard,
arrived in Chicago from New Orleans
and proceeded at once to the late
mayors residence. 1t was announced
that they would take their sister home
to Biloxi as soon as she is able to be
moved.

MIDWAY MUST CLOSE.
Director Davis Says All Concession
arrieS Must Get Out

Chicago, Oct. 30.-NIidWay plaisancc
with its motley array of attractions,
more or less moral and Instructive and
amusing, will cease to exist tomorrow
night rs Il part of the fair.
Director General Davis made an order
this afternoon ordering every conces-
sionnairee to close the doors of his at
traction tomorrow night and keep them
shut to the public.
AS theeXposition closed officially to-
night, the ooncessionnaries on tie Mid
way have no legal right to complain
of the cosing order under the terms Of
their contracts.
1t is understood, although there is no
reference to the fact in the director gen
erals order, tlat the principal reason
for its being issued is the official reports
which have been received to the effect
that the dancing places and similar re-
sorts were being conducted ill Il more
immoral way than at any previous time
in the exposition season.

! Chicago, Oct. 3O.-The official life OF
the worlds fair has ended. This even
ing was to have been one of dazzlins
Drllllancy, but the awful untimely
death Of Mayor Harrison changed all
that
! Appropriate action was taken at the
memorial meeting in festival hall to-
day in memory of Chicago's beloved
chief magistrate and all ceremonies ex-
cept those nearly absolutely necessary
We're abandoned.
The day opened with beautiful
weather, but a pain hung over the great
exposition and itsmyriad of flags float
; ed at half-mast The White city was
shrouded in darkness at an earlier
hour than since its opening this even
ing. SO with the tragic death of Mayor
Harrison the life and gaiety of the ex-
position went out for ever. Instead
of the festival of oratory and music
which was to have filled in the after
noon, memorial services were held in
festival hall, ut which tributes were
paid to the memory of Chicagos most
characteristic Chicagoan by worlds
fair officials, national and local, and
by representatives of the assembled
nations
The great audience, some of whom
hid come from far distant states to as

foot Of standing room, wtls hush ID
President Palmer of the national con.-
mission, presided
Rev. Dr. Burrows delivered prayer
and read an address prepared by Presi-
dent Tigginbotham, of the fair direc-
tory, previous to the mayors taking
off. 1NhiS was thought best because it
was so consonant with the spirit of
the meeting.
At l O'Clock. in Festival hail. the big
meeting which had been planned for
speeches of congratulation and of pre-
Senting to foreign commissioners the
evidences of the success of their eN-
hibitors was abandoned so far us those
features are concerned.
When the invited guests and the pub
lie reached the hall it was to hear
resolutions of regret over the taking
away of Garter HARRISON
After Mr.. observation-disclosures speech APP
proprate resolutions concerning the
taking off Of Mayor Harrison and pay
ing to his memory tributes Of respect
and admiration We're adopted.
Then President Thompson Palmer.
of the national commission, announced
that in view of the sad circumstances
which had brought the assemblage to-
gether. the closing of the fair would
be marked only by a salute of cannon
and hauling down of flags.
When that took place he declared. in
obedience to IN act of congress, that
the exposition was officially closed.
