EDWARDS. BAD BREAK.

 The Former Assessor of Kanvss City in tfIt Role of an Attempted BanN Robber-I, He Crazy? -iN KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 4---& special telegram from Harrisonville, Mo, says that Thomas H. Edwards, who was for a number of years we'll known citi. zen and official of Kansas City, is under arrest there on the charge of attempted bank robbing. B .
 At noon yesterday Edwards went ir- to the First national bank. He pre- sented draft to the assistant cashier, Maj G. N. Houston, who was alone in the bank at the time. Maj. Houston told Edwards that as he was a stranger and did not have an account with the bank he must get some one to identify him.
 Edwards complained of being cold, and asked permission to warm himself before going in search of some one whose Identification would enable him to obtain the amount the draft called for Maj Houston invited him into the rear part of the bank to warm him self at stove. Edwards accepted the invitation, and when Maj. Houston stopped down to fix the fire Edwards struck him on the back of the head with his fist, knocking him down. Ed wards then jumped upon him and kicked and beat him in frightful manner.
 Maj. Houston finally got upon his feet and ran to his desk, where he ob- tained his pistol. Edwards ran out the front door, but was soon captured by some citizens and turned over to an officer, who placed him in jail.
 The assault upon Maj. Houston and the capture of Edwards created intense excitement in Harrisonville for awhile Many rumors were soon in circulation concerning the affair. It was said that Edwards had demanded of Maj. Houston that h. give him the cash in the bank and that upon the refusal of Maj. Houston to comply with the demands Edwards assaulted him. Another rumor was that Edwards was one of q gang of bank robbers and that he had begun the plunder of the banl, before his associates in crime arrived upon the scene. According to the state. ment of Mai Houston, Edwards did not attempt robbery. He doubtless did intend to take the contents of the banks money drawer and vault and would have done so had not Maj. Hous, ton driven him out of the bank at the point of his revolver.
 Edwards was appointed assessor ot Kansas City in 1882 and held the office continuously until April, 1890, when he was succeeded by George W. Lee. He was elected county assessor in 1886 and again in 1888. He was succeeded in the latter by the present incumbent, Georg w. Petty

KILLING OF JOHN HILL.

Information Regarding the Murder at the
 Strip Transmitted to Congress.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Secretary La mont has transmitted to the house all the information the department has been able to gather in relation to the conduct of troops at the opening of the Cherokee strip. There is an accom- panying statement from Gen. Miles, The investigation was superintended by Col. E. M. Heyl, inspector-general for the department of Missouri.
 The important part of this state- ment is the light it throws upon the killing of John R. Hill, of Keansburg, N. J. Hill was in the line which broke about four minutes before 12 o'clock, the time fixed for the opening. Sew eral soldiers galloped to the front, calling upon the men to halt, which was disregarded and the soldiers began firing. The third shot fired by Sergeant Willard, Troop c, Third cavalry, killed Hill. It was shown that the rush was made five minutes before 12 o'clock, as Hill was killed at 1905 and he then was miles from the Kansas state line
 The inspector says Sergeant Willard interpreted his orders literally and was jealous in the discharge of his duty. In conclusion the inspector general says the position of the troops was very trying, and there is no doubt ill will was aroused.

IBe Nretcn drought Into Court Tn a. State
 of Abject Terror
 CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Patrick Eugene Joseph Prendergast the murderer of Mayor Harrison, was arraigned in Judge Horton's court The court room was crowded and, when the prisoner was led in by the jailor, the spectators jumped to their feet. The action ter rifed Prendergast and he crouched close to the officers. He could scarcely stand and had to be assisted to his seat
 When the indictment was read Prem dergast responded nervously: Not guilty"
 "Have you an attorney?" asked the judge.
 No, but I expect to get one," re- sponded the prisoner, faintly.
 The judge then announced that the case would be continued to give Prem dergast an opportunity to secure coun- sel, and the assassin was led trembling back to his cell He had evidently in tended to make speech in the court room but his fear of mob violence re. duced him to a state of abject terror and he seemed glad to get back to jail.

LAID TO REST.
4 Great Throng Attends the Funers, of
 Chicago's Murdered Mayor.


 CHICAGO, Nov 2.-One hundred thou sand people looked upon the face of Carter H. Harrison, worlds fair mayor of Chicago, who had been murdered without warning by maDiac Prender- gast, while the body lay in state in tho city hall, and 10000 more were in liss when the hall doors closed.
 Then, with probably the greatest funeral escort which ever accompanied an American citizen, the body was taken to the church of the Epiphany, where the last services were held. The honors were paid by federal and state troops, city and national employees and thousands on thousands of citizens.
 At 10 o'clock the body was borne from the blacked drsped and flower scented corridor of the city hall where it had rested in state and placed in the funeral car. Through the great crowd that gathered the black car slowly passed and took its place in the wait- ing procession.
 As the hearse drew into the line, the march was taken up and the thousands. who had adhered to do honor to the dead moved slowly through the crowd- ed streets with banners draped and to- the sad music Of the funeral march. Out from the center of the city the great procession marched across the river and to the beautiful church of the Epiphany, near the late execntive's home.
 Immediately following the great black and golden hearss was the thor oughbred mare, saddled and bridled, but riderless, riding on which in many labor riot or fierce election contest the dead mayor had been for'years notable figure. After the mourning carriages, fol- lowed the police, military and, civic societies, numbering many thousands of persons. ...
 After the services at the church the casket was borne to the hearse and fol- lowed to the cemetery by the greatest funeral cortege ever seen in Chicago.
 On arrival at the church the remains were placed within the chancel rail and in the presence of great congre- gation of the friends of the mayor, the beautiful Episcopal services for the dead were read by Rev. T. N. Morrison, Jr. The music was by forty choir boys robed in black cassocks and white sur- pliceS

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.
Great Increase Reported for the Present.
 Year,


 Year.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 2-"This year sur. passes any one in history for railroad! accidents" Mir. J. D. Laying, of the West Shore, is reported to have said. From November, 1892, to November, 1893, s,3ls persons have been killed on, the railroads, and 2,0O0 persons havs been maimed or crippled. These ig- ures include those persons who have met with accidents on street railways, and there are over 200 of them in. tho United States, Brooklyn heading the list with fifteen persons killed on the surface track alone. The greatest ac- cidents in which this country was con- cerned was the loss of three or four transatlantic steamers. It has been a year of great mourning, for the loss of lives and the financial panic have made. it one of general suffering, But, in spite of the fact that it has been, year of so great sorrow, trial and sacrifice, it has been without any great relig- ious revivals. They are said always to follow close on the heels of great panics and disasters.

yer Repeal Law. .i
 NEW YORK, Nov. AR. G. Dun < Co. 8 weekly review of trade says:
 The repeal of the silver purchase act dces good already The business world, in every part of the country, reckons 1t helpful and the tone of the trade is more confident It is hard. ly the time as yet for the effects to be felt to any great extent in manufactures, but bankers are more liberal in accommodations and mer. chants more hopeful in purchase. It is well to remember that the act w,ll do less good than If it had been passed early Tn the spring or with out delay ter congress assembled
 It cannot now prevent several thousand fail ures which have already occurred or relieve creditors from resulting endorsements. It cannot now save from loss Q multitude of man ufacturing es establishments which have closed because the future seemed uncertain. It will go far to restore business confidence which was much needed but many expect from the meas ure larger results than can at this late day be realized
 The action of congress had less visible inf1u ence upon the speculative markets for products in part because foreign markets obstinately refused to accept the higher valuations which spectators had tried 10 establish Though people across the water award unstnted praises to those who secured the passage of the repeal bill there is little disposition to pay higher prices on that account for wheat and cotton .-.
 In view of tn e great abundance of money at speculative centers the weakness Of markets is more significant Industries could not be expected to make any material gain as yet but the demand for textile products has to some extent improved The metal working indus tries manifest little interest as yet

A Mar Ended.

CAPETowN, Nor. S.-King Lo Bengu- la, of Matabele land. is flying north ward without 800 of his best warriors, who were moved down by British ma chine guns in fifteen minutes. When last reported at Fort Charter by the na- tive runners sent out to open up eom- munication between the columns in pursuit, the fugitive king was trying to rally his troops in the vicinity of the Shnagale rivers and the Kwelo. He seems to have fallen into a complete trap, as his further flight northward toward the Zambesi river is blocked, while the tsetze fly country is in his rear, Fort Salisbury on his right flank and the British columns on the left, Thus it is expected that he will be compelled to surrender within few days

ACCIDENT TO A BATTLEsHIP.
The Boilers of the Texas Drop Out of Their
 Support.

WASHINGTON, Nov. At would seem as if there had been another blunder by some one in connection with the re- cent accident to the battleship Texas at the Norfolk navy yard. The acci- dent, it is charged, was due to care- less inspection of the material used un- der her boilers. or else to a miscalcula- tion in determining the strength of the supports necessary to hold up the boil CTS when filled with water. What really caused the vessel to list over and lead people to believe she was about to turn turtle was the breaking of the supports under the boilers, and almost allowing the two boilers to go through to the bottom. Fortunately the accident happened alongside the dock, and did no serious damage, but it showed that when the Texas was designed there had not been a proper consideration paid to the strength of the plates under the boilers. Had the boilers broken through when the yes. sel was in commission and at sea they might have gone through her bottom. It will take about S6, 900 to repair the damaUe

What the Bill Repeating the Purchasing Clause of the Sherman Act Provides. The bill that caused such long de- bate in the United States senate and at one time threatened to upset ''sena- torial courtesy" and traditions, is not such formidable looking affair after all as to length. It is short, and debate on it occupied nearly three months and reports of the speeches filled five vol umes of the Congressional Record. Here is the bill:
 Be it enacted, etc
 That so much of the act approved July 4, 1890, entitled An act directing the purchase of silver bullion and the issue of treasury notes thereon, and for other purposes" as directs the sec retary of the treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the ag- gregate amount of 4,500, 900 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered in each month at the price thereof, not exceeding one dollar for 371.25 grains of pure silver, and to issue in payment for such purchases treasury notes Of the United States, be and the same is hereby repealed.
 And it is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold and silver as standard money and to coin both gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic exchangeable value, such equality to be secured through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as will insure the main- tenance of the parity in value of the coins of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payments of debts. And it is hereby further de- clared that the efforts of the govern ment should be steadily directed in the establishment of such safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or issued by the United States in the markets and in the payments of of debts
