4 Convict's Second Attempt at
Suicide.

Charles Baker, convict at the prison,
who made an unsuccessful attempt at
suicide some time ago by ptuDging
sharpened file into his stomach. made
another attempt early Tuesday morn
ing, but as before was unable TO accom-
plish his purpose. When Baker attempt
ed suicide some time ago he was only in
the hospital few days, and was given
work in the machine shop. In some
manner he managed to sharpen small
piece of file, which he took with him
TO his cell. On Sunday he seemed mo-
rose and detected, and the prison Off
Gals gave him what they considered a
lighter job. Early Tuesday morning
the cell room guard noticed that some
thing was wrong in Bakers cell, and
Deputy Warden Lemon was sent
for. Baker, who was then nearly dead
from the loss Of blood, was removed
the hospital where his self-inficted
wounds were dressed. He had made an
attempt to sever the jugular, but only
succeeded in cutting small blood YES
sci. He is gaining strength. and will
recover. Deputy Warden Lemon stated
yesterday that Baker was good con
Wet, ana had been in the first grade uD

own life. He was sent up from Henne-
pin county year or two ago. His mind
IS apparently unbalanced.

Cloud reformatory from Ramsey county
in October, 1892. was transferred TO the

rigibility. Seven prisoners were re-
ceIved at the prison in August last from

do anything with them at the reforma-

DEFAULTER's DEATH.
CleYefand's Ex.Ereasurer Dies in
Canada.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 6.-Thomas AK
worthy, defanlting treasurer of this
city, died at Hamilton, Ont, today of
Bright's disease Axworthy left Cleye-
land in September, 1883, going from
here to New York, as he said, to paw
the interest on city bonds. He carried
with him satchel full of money. When
he failed to return it was discovered
that he was defauIter in the sum of
about $500, 900. He was traced to En-
gland. and in London thu attorneys of
his bondsmen forced him to a settle
ment, by the terms OF which all his yes
sci property and real estate in this city
was turned over. He then returned to
Canada, where he has since resided.
The bondsmen MADE a final settlement
with the city last summer. Axworthy
was one of the most popular men in
Cleveland before his downfall. He was
leader Of the Democracy, and was
three times elected TO the rify treasur-
ership by big majorities, largely by the
vote Of Republicans. An Investigation
Of his accounts showed that he began
the misappropriation Of funds during
his first term.

EXPOSITION WINNERS.
Chairman Thacher VIII Make an
Important Statement.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. - Chairman
John Boyd ThacheF and the executive
committee of the worlds fair committee
OF awards VIII make brief but import
ant signed statement tomorrow. sum-
lnariZing the general results in the
awarding of medals and diplomas to
exposition winners. 1t viii be the first
statement of an Official character COM
ing from Mr.. Thaeher and his associ-.
ates, and to some extent il will answer
the criticisms made from time to time
as TO the purposes Of the committee. II
will show the total number of awards
made at Chicago and compare them
with the total awards at the two Paris
eXpoSitiens and at Vienna and Ph1ladel-
phia. The statement that the Thacher
committee would make awards aggre-
eating so, 600, which Is 80, 300 in excess
OF the number authorized by congre IS.
IS erroneous. as is another Staternent
that Mr.. TEACHER has been cutting
down the awards 10 such an extent that
many merftorioHs exhibitors would fail
to receive proper recognition. The forth
coming statement will show that
neither OF these reports are true.
The exact number Of awards has not
yet been made known, but il will IN
doubtedly come well inside the $1,000
authorized by congress. 1t is probable
that the total awards will appear snail
compared with these at Paris, Vienna
and Philadelphia, but MI. Thacher and
his associates make the point that for
the fist time in the history of EXPOSE
tons the awards are based ON a system
which analyses the merits of every
article, and gives medals only when
superiority In many particulars is
shown. This discrimination has natnr-
ally kept down the number Of awards.
With view of considering this ques-
ton, the full executive COMMITTEES of

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.--Mrs. Andrew Foy
has told another sensational story re-
garding the death of Dr. Cronin, and
gives the names of three other men who
she claims were TO have been killed by
the alleged conspirators. The three
doomed men. according to Mrs. Foy,
were ex-Judge Richard Prendergast.
John F. Finerty and Mr.. Conway, a
real estate man. She also gave tue
names of three other men who she says
were Implicated in the conspiracy, and
had as much to do with it as Coughlin.
All these points were given to Judge
Wing and Attorney Forest last summer,
but Mrs. Fey says that they persuaded
her not to give them to the public. and
used the argument that her husband
would be hanged if she did.

Mrs. Foy is reported as saying:
After Cronin was disposed of they
began making plans to do away with
the other three, but l told them posi-

Mrs. FoY's Confessions have excited
much comment and wide difference of

counsel for the defense, referred TO her
In court as "a dellrious and almost crazy
WOMAN to which remark the prose-
cutting attorneys earnestly took eXcep-
tons.

day In which he Unlimited that the tes-
tlmony of Mrs. Andrew Foy viii be ad-

mad moved that the states attorney in
The address opening the case, be in
structed TO omit reference TO Mrs Foy's
story. Oh Ihe ground that her evidence
is Incompetent. because it duplicates her
husband Judge TuIhlll ruled that the
states attorney could refer to the story,
but must omit Mrs. Foy's name from his
speech.
Il am inclined TO the view taken by
the prosecution in this matter" said the
court. apparently referring to the ad-
mission of Mrs Foy's testimony, ''but l

John T. Finerty does not appear TO
