Painter Must Die.

CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 15.-Chief
Justice Baker, of the Supreme
court, in October decided the case
of George H. Painter, of Chicago,
affirming the decision Of the Crimi-
nal court of Cook county and sem
fencing Painter to be hanged this
day. The crime Of which Painter
was convicted was the murder of
his mistress, Alice Martin, at their
rooms ON South Green street, near
Madison, at midnight of Sunday,
May Il, 1891. He had spent the
evening at Gugust Schiller's sa-
loon, No. 800 West Madison street,
and returning home at mid
night entered the room in which
the woman was sleeping and, ac-
cording to the testimony developed
at the trial in February, 1892, MUIR
dered her in cold blood, the strug-
gle commencing upon the bed and
ending in the woman being thrown
upon the floor with such force as to
awaken the occupants of the upper
fiat. Painter was convicted and
sentenced to be hanged.
The last hanging in Chicago was
that of Zeph Davis MAY %. 1889
for the murder of Maggie Caughan
on State street. 1t was a very
brutal murder. He cut the little
girl to pieces with a Ratchet.
The execution was a peculiar one.
Davis lighted a cigarette as the
death warrant was being read to
him, and he stepped up for the
rope to be placed around his neck,
cody threw it away. He believed
to the last that a telegram would
be received from the Governor
committing the sentence the SEN
tence. Just as the iron fell mes
senger boy came rushing in out of
breath with a telegram for Davis.

DOC Succeeds Grant.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5--A change

rotary of War will take place to-
day. General l.. A. Grant, who has
filled that position so acceptably
for several years, will today turn
it over to General Joseph b. Doc,
of GAINESVILLE, Wis. Gener-
al Grants resignation ten
dered at the beginning of the pres
ent administration, has recently
been accepted, to take effect this
date, and General Doe accepted
Secretary Lamont's invitation to
assist him in the administration
of the affairs of the military estab-
Iishment. General Doe is lawyer,
having a large practice. He is q
young man, but his friends speak
of him as having not only high
legal attachments, but fine eXeCu-
tive capacity, and predict that he
will admirably fill the place to
which he has been called.

Replv to Bishop Coke.

NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-The Herald

Lavelli, of the st. Patrick's r. c..
Cathedral, which, the following is
a synopsis: at is often necessary
to reply to them," said Rector La
velle. In order to print the absO-
lutte denial of the charges made by
the bishop deals more in abstrac-
tiOns than facts. Once in a while
as in this instance we get from
him what may be called
an approach to specific charges,
and then comes WOrth'S trouble of
Analysing of COntradiCting his
mystic statements" "What dOsyOu
say to the charge Of the delegate
who accepted and defeated the
Shehan faction in Buffalo? its
causes and its motives as his own"
81 suppose the most determined
and better of Shehan's political
opponents would have hardly have
brought against him charges so
absurd. SatOlli has more import
ant work as the POpe's representa-
tive, than making political ALI
ances. Representing ptOus and
sagacious Pope, the delegate is here
not to make alliance with political
parties, but show Pope Leo's good
will to the entire American people.
And as to charge that delegate
has joined a faction which desires
to destroy public schools, father
Lavalie Indignantly denies that

War Talk.

NEW YORK, Dec. l3.-The Herald
has received the following official
cable from BuenOs Ayres, Argen-
tina, under date of Dec. -, 1898:
"Do not believe the official Bra
lillian news, assuring you that Ad-
miral Saidhana CANA has issued a
mOnarchical manifesto. Remem-
Der the similar report sent you
about Admiral Mello favOring the
placing Of the son of the Count
d'Eu on the throne of Brazil. 1t is
the same fiction in both cases.
RUY BARBOSA."
Senior Ruy BarbOsa is the mouth
piece on land Of Admiral Mello.
1t is believed here among Admi-
raj Mello's friends that Admiral
Saldhana da Gama's manifesto
only declared his adhesion to the
revolutionary movement in Brazil,
and did not contain any expression
faVoring the restoration Of the
monarchy. When he assumed COM
mand Of the rebel fleet left by MollO
in Rio harbOr he went aboard the
Libertad and made her his flag
ship.
Confirmation has been received
Of the news that Capt. LOrena has
surrendered the presidency Of the
provisional government in Dester-
TO on account Of disagreements be-
tween the rebel chic fJains.
Three hundred and fifty Mansur
rifles have been bought by agents
Of PeiXotO for the loyal steamers
Santos and DestCrrO, still in this
harbOr. They have just passed
through the custom house.
The Herald's correspondent in
Rio de JaneirO sends word that the
situation there is very serious to-
day; that all business is suspended
and shipping communication with
the capital has ceased entirely since
yesterday. The only cause for this
which can be surmised is that Adj
miral MellO is now blOckading the
entrance of Rio HarbOr by means
of the AQuidaban and Republica.
1t is believed that PciXOtO will
soon take more aggressive measures
to end the strife than he has done
yet.
An emissary in Bupnos Ayres
asserts that the AdmiraPs mani
festo agrees with Mello's views eX-
actly.
Gen. Angelic has arrived in this
city. The projected Brazilian loan
is generally criticised by the press.
