MAYOR CARTER HARRISON of Chicago was figure in the days history. He was undoubtedly man of large brain and mo- ble physique. He was one of too large a class whose chief life study seemed to be to make himself solid with the voters, and usually not booking for the best class, but for the largest, to impress with feel ing of loyalty to his fortunes. His elec- tion last year was not regarded as a vic tory of the better Chicago, but rather as inaugurating an era of increased license to those disposed to be lawless. His ad- ministration had been better than expect ed, and seen from business point of view, with disposition 10 wink at slack views of morality, etc., has been a success. At any rate he seemed to be more popular with the better element of the city at the time of his death than at the time of his election. He was shot down in the door, way of his home by Eugene Pendegrast, who says that he did the act "because it was his duty" and also because the mayor had not appointed him corporation coun- sel. Pendegrast is locked up to await trial, and may be hanged. notwithstand- ing Illinois has a governor who denounces judges who sentence murderers rather than the murderers themselves

For repeal. Against repeal.

THE senate amendment passed the house yesterday by 8 vote of 192 to 94. The president signed the bill, and the silver purchase by the government closed yes terday.
 THE killing of Mayor Garter Harrison of Chicago by crank on Saturday last is a startling episode of history, but by no means as unexpected as 1t should be. The American crank, or rather the genus as developed on American soil, generally from not long transplanted foreign prod uct, is getting to be too common con- modity. No man prominent in public life is safe from him. All our cities contain such persons; some are crazy, some think they are, some feign to be, but in every notoriety and an over-weening sense of his own personality, and of sights or signs of misrepresentation inflicted upon him. The man who thinks his mission in life is to kill somebody should be dis couraged, and the best way to do this is to have the class see that when one of their number commits crime he is not to be pampered as an unfortunate, but dealt with as a criminal, for such he is. Most cranks glory in being such, and encour- age as praiseworthy phases of crank de- velopment in themselves or others. Make it a crime to be a crank, and this self cul- tivated class will become scarce.

wouRded, the flesh being torn from var
ious portions Of his body and the right
arm and left leg cut off, while the left
eye was also destroyed. Drs. ESkey,
Mcdonald and Armbrecht were called,
and they did all that was possible TO
save the life of the unfortunate man,
but despite all that medical skill could
do, death came about four hours and
a half after the accident. Deceased

wife and three children. He had been
in the employ OF the B. & o., for a
good while, but was recently discharged
for some unknown cause. He seemed
to be worrying oyer this a good deal, OF
late, and this fact gave color to rumor
which prevailed yesterday that he had
committed suicide by jumping In front
of the engine.

There is a good deal Of comment In
Baltimore and Ohio circles as TO Cen
eral Manager Odell accepting the posi-
ton OF General Agent Of the Company
at Chicago. While 1t is an important
position, and one which most railroad
ers would be glad TO secure, it Is long
ways below the general mansgershlp.
For instance. the salary OF the latter
position is probably about $4,000 or
$4,000, while that of General Agent Is
not worth more than $1,000 at the out
side. Mr.. Odell is q wealthy man, and
the matter of salary does not OF neces-
sity cut q figure with him In the accept
ance of position, but the matter OF sal
airy aside the general agency
is not equal to the general
membership. It is known Mr..
Odell had several times rendered his
resignation, which was not accepted
until the last time. 1t was generally
supposed he was going with tbs North
ern Pacific as vice president and gen.
eral manager, and when II was an
nounced he had accepted the Chicago
position It caused considerable surprise.
he certainly did not do so because he
