PRENDERGAsT WILD.
Attorney Trule Goads Him to
Madness


IN CHICAGO. Dec. 2S.-Attorpey Wade
addressed the jury in behalf of the pris-
oner in the Prendergast trial today.
! Mr.. Wade's address created consider
able interest because of his introduce
ton of the quaint practice of address,
lpg the jurors individually. He closed
with an eloquent plea for his clients
life. Succeeding Mr.. Wade, Attorney
Ifude made the closing speech for the
prosecution. His address was eloquent,
and at times bordered on the Sensa-
tional. In pleading for a death SEN
tence, he said:
-"Ihe Harrisons would be the la st to
ask the execution of an insane man.
The question is, are we to live under
the Stars and stripes or the red rag of
anarchy?'
was not animated by malice; l
swear before high heaven that | was
not; you are my murderer if l die"
This was the language with which
Prendergast interrupted Mr.. Trude to-
day. For four hours Mr.. Trude had
been speaking, growing more aud more
earnest and personal. AS the afternoon
wore away he assailed the prisoner
with all the invective at his COM
mdnd. As the assassin spoke Mr..
Irude turned the incident to account
by asking the jury: us he insane now?
Does ne act like an insane man?' The
lawyer also alluded to the day of the
funeral, and the fear that the prisoner
showed when the procession passed the
jail. and the prisoners shouted Hang
Prendergast." Mr.. Trude said that
even these men accused OF crime re-
scented the act of Prendergast, and the
prisoner broke out with: "Yes, they
were.friends Of HARRISON whom he had
pardened out of the bridewell."
MI. Trude proceeded to goad the in
furlated prisoner by alluding to him
as coward, and once more the
assassin sprang to his feet and shouted:
GU are the coward: you deserve to be
hung." Later, when a sarcastic allu-
sion was made to Prendergast's ambition
10 be corporation counsel and the re-
mark made that he was unfit for the
position, the prisoner lost his temper
again, and shouted: 81 am fiji am fit
for any job you are, Trude." The
court told him to keep quiet. and he
subsidized. Mr.. Trude will finish his
argument III the morning, and The case
VIII so to the jury by noon.

A CLEVER SWINDLER
Operating Extensively Through
Eastern Cities.

ciated Press was informed today of the
operations of clever swinder
who has been travelling through the
Eastern cities representing himself as
agent Of the wholesale dry goods
firm of Murphy. Grant & Co., of San
Francisco. W. E. Baxter, as the crook
calls himself, has victimiZed numerous
firms in great number of cities. HIS
method of operation is to enter a
wholesale dry goods house and present
card bearing the name of W. E.,
Baxter, agent for Murphy. Grant &
Co., San Francisco, also forged

AFTER THE jury.
Deliberate Attempt to Tamper
With the Coughlin Jury.

WIN the COuSniin Jury.
CHICAGO. Dec. 2S.-Martin Burke's
connection with the alleged conspiracy
to kill DR.. Cronin was the point on which
the prosecution in the Coughlin trial
created its testimony today. Jonas Carl
son, the owner of the Carlson cottage,
was called to thes stand. Carlson's testi-
mony did not differ materially from that
given by him on the former trial. Upon
croSs-eXaminatiOn the old man became
ill-tempered, and the defense expert
enced considerable difficulty in getting
him to answer questions.
The Coughlin case sustained another
jury scare today. What may prove to
be deliberate attempt to tamper with
the jury in open court was brought to
light. This time the supposed emissary
of the cOnspirators is a short, heavy
woman. with coarse and heavy features.
1t is known that she has been making
remarks against the character of Mrs.
Foy ever since that state witness was on
the stand last Friday. With the sus-
pected woman are associated in the
minds Of state officers, vulgar-loOking
man of low stature and heavy build, and
another woman of like beauty.
The prosecution received this start
ling information through two different
sources. One Of the Jurors informed
the state officers few days ago that a
woman, who had been in constant at
tendance at the trial, was acting sus-
plciouSly. He believed she was trying
to communicate with him by means of
certain signs made by the hand. Today
the woman was barred from the court
room, and watch is being kept upon
her and her companions. Mrs. Carlson,
the wife of the owner of the famous
cottage, gave substantially the same
evidence as her husband, nothing of
importance being brought out, however

and he was quick to see and appreciate
every good shot or run made by Thayer.
Thayer was suffering from slight i'll
disposition, which undoubtedly helped
in making matters go against him. This
is the first game he has lost thus far in
this tournament, but was peculiarly I'M
fortunate for him at this time. as Thorn
as is now placed in the lead. In the
matter of high runs, Thomas got in
double figures ten times. Among his
nigh rms may be given 81, II, IL, II, II,
l3. The three latter were made in sue
cessiOn in the sgd. SD and Saith innings.
Thayer made doubles only four times,
his highest run being 16. Thayer took
his defeat very manfuily, and he de-
ciares that he will make things very
warm for his next competitor.
There will be no further billiard game
IN tie tourney until Saturday night,
when Wilmot will play Bunker. Glow
and 'rhayer Will meet on Tuesday night
next, and the excuse of detention else
where won't so again.

HAVE WORKED FAITHFULLY
and Diligently in the Interests of
the Road.


MILWAUKEE, Wis. Dec. 2S.-Receiver
Henry c. Payne. of the Northern. Pa
cifc, said, in regard to the petition Of
the stockholders Of the road seeking
the appointment of new receivers,
that he and his colleagues have faith
fully and diligently undertaken to
administer the trust placed in their
charge, having in view only its preser-
walton and management in such a way
as in the quickest time to place the COM
pany on its feet. The old manage
ment has not in the least degree tried
to influence the action of the re-
ceivers. He cited the stand taken
lease as an illustration of this.
The insinuation that the receivers
are incompetent needs, he said, no
answer in their own communities. He
asserted that Mr.. Cakes is one of the
ableSt railroad men in the country,
while Mr.. Rouse isquite as well known,
being the present chairman of the
executive board of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad, one of the leading
lines in this country. Mr.. Payne looked
upon the movement as transfer
to the courts of the Wall street
feud, which has long existed
between the two opposing factions of
the road. He personally disavowed any
intention to do anything for other than
the best interests of the company. and
characterized the charges and counter
charges in the Wall street controversy
as mere braggadOcio.
Mr.. Cromwell, the Eastern attorney
for the receivers, did not think the
efforts to GUST the receivers would mend.
He said: Il know of no receiVership
which in the short space of four months
has met SO many serious questions with
such marked success
He then reviewed the work done by
the receivers, and said: There are
others seeking the places of the present
receivers. We understand that all in
terested in the company, save the Ives
faction, are opposed to this movement"
Mr.. Payne aud MIR. Cromwell left to-
night for st. Paul. where they will, with
MIR. Cakes, hold conference with the
employees of the road in relation TO the
proposed cut in wages.

SAN DOMINGO OUTRAGE.
American Sailors Shot Down by
Soldiers.

New YORK. Dec. 2S.-The steamship
q. w. Clyde, from Turks island, which
arrived here today, brings report of an
outrage inflicted OH the crew of the
American schoonerHenryC Crosby, which,
having lost her bearings, put into the
port of Old Azua, San Domingo. The
first officer and four seamen got into the
boat and pulled for the shore. When
about three hundred yards out a file of
soldiers in the uniform of the Dominic
can government came running down to
the beach, and. leveling their carbines
at the men in the small boat, fired. One
of the rowers threw up his hands and
fell over into the bottom of the boat.
The others paused in surprise and af-
fright, when suddenly another voiley
was sent among them by the soldiers on
shore. This time the first officer was
struck. The other three sailors turned
the boat about and desperately pulled
for the schooner. The men were taken
on board, when it was found that the
first officer had received bullet in the
shoulder, and the seaman was struck by
several balls. The bad wound i'll the
back made it doubtful if the man would
recover. A report of the affair has been
made to the United States government
by the consul general at San Domingo
city.

CHILLI WILL CONTEST.
The Claims for Damages Settled
by the Arbitration.

by the Arbitration.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S.-F. Alleyne
Orr, attorney for Patrick Shields and
Andrew McKinstry. sailors on the
American steamer Keeweenaw, who
were brutally beaten by the Gillian
police in Valparaiso at the time of the
Baltimore riots i'll 1891, has received
notice that the CHILEAN government
Will contest the effort to have the
claims of Shields and McKinstry for
damages settled by the arbitration COM
mittee appointed under the treaty to
settle the question Of damages to Amer
lean citizens, on the ground that Shields
and McKinstry are not American
citizens. Minister Egan, while nego-
tiating with the CHILEAN government for
the treaty of 1892, under which tie
claims for damages were to be settled
by the arbitration committee, reported
to Secretary of State Foster that be
had asked if it would be necessary
to insert special clause in the
convention to include this case.
Egan says that the minister and also the
SuOSecretary to the minister of foreign
relations assured him that it was not
necessary; that no question would be
raised on this point, and that the rights
OF Shields as an American citizen will
be admitted by Chill before the
arbitration tribunal. Shields claim
was for 100000, and McKinstry's
for $4,000. Considering these state
ments of the Gillian officials to Minister
Egan, the action OF the Gillian govern
ment at this late day in entering a plea
that Shields is not an American citizen,
and that his case therefore cannot come
before the arbitration commission, has
caused great surprise here.

DELIBERATE SUICIDE or A NEBRASKA
YOUNG LADY
THE FAMILY BARELY ESCAPES.

Her Evident Intention Was 10
Poison the Whole Family, but,
Fortunately, Only One Besides
Herself Partook of the Poison,
and That One Was With Dill

GRAND ISLAND, Neb., Dec. 2S.-Miss
Adele Egge, young lady aged twenty
five years, daughter of one of the old
est families in the city, arose this morn
ing, mixed sirychnine into batter OF
cakes. baked them and ate of the food.
She lived with her widowed mother,
Mrs. Augusta Egge, a brother and a
sister in home of their own in this
city. The mother and san had not yet
arisen, but her sister. Miss Margaret
Egge, came into the room where she
was eating her breakfast and also began
to eat. Margaret noticed that the cakes
were bitter, and QUESTIONED her sister
the reason therefor. The young lady
answered with smile that it was
better thus for all of them. Her
sister became alarmed, a doctor was
called. who Ill turn called assistance.
Five minutes after the arrival of the
physician Adele was a corpse, having
died in intense agony. The youngest
sister was given an emetic, which acted
promptly and she was saved. She had
not partaken of a fatal quantity. The
deceased had always been of bright,
cheerful disposition until the widowed
mother and the famlly's money beca me
tied up in the bank which failsd. There

fortunate girl had intended to poison all
the members of the household. After
having taken the strychnine she pre-
pared more cakes for them and urged
her sister to eat. Just before death
came she said she was glad she and her
sister were out of misery, but was sorry
her mother had not partaken of the
deadly food.
