"FOR LOVES cwggT SAX"

Because "ou have 10 golden hoard,
Or broad apa fertile lands to show,
Or wealth In glitcriag cas.,ots stored,
You fear 20 vhisocr-what know;
iou think 'twould be griovous wrong
Me from my smoother paths to take,
Nor understand how brave and strong
My heart could be for Loves sweet salie.
Because you are man. you seek
To hide the tender pain you feel:
And /, . woman, should not speak
One word your secret wound to heal:
Yet, knowing well that each for each
Life's fullest harmonics could wake
fain would place within your reach
That gift OF Love for Loves sweet sake
Because the ways you tread are rough
Shall We two always stand apart
Nay, let me own 'twould be enough
70 share your veal and woe, dear heart'
II you must bear daily cross,
Why will half the burden take;
And what you choose TO call my loss
Count truest gain for Loves sweet sake

for His Life.


for His Life.
MINNEAPOLIS, July 11.-A Cando, N. D.,
special to the Journal says:
Albert hamburger, the young murderer
who killed Ben Kreider, his wife and four
children on Friday, narrowly escaped lynch
ing here last evening. He had been caught
at De Lorraine, Manitoba, few miles fro m
the border, and agreed to come back with
Sheriff McCune Of Ramsey County, wit b.
out extradltion papers. The sheriff and
his prisoner arrived here yesterday.
A mob Of determined men were wait
ing for him with the fixed plan Of hanging
the murderer to the nearest telegraph pole.
But Sheriff McCune had been amply
warned Of the danger and was equally de-
termined to get his prisoner through this
(Towne) county, into Ramsey.
He chose a circuitous route and sue
ceeded In eluding the mob.
1t Is a question, though, whether Bam-
burger is any safer in Ramsey county than
he would have been here, as there is tn Q
widest excitement over his bloody crime.

Only II l.? Cents Per Ounce offered by

The Offer Not Accepted.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE Treasury
department yesterday again arrayed itself
firmly against the silver brokers. 1t was
the customary day for making the pro-
portional purchase OF silver on the July
account. and 4SS, 600 ounces were offered.
The prices asked ranged from II to 70
cents.
They were regarded as too high by Act
ing Director Preston. who made a counter
proposition offering II 1-2 cents per
ounce.
That Is one half cent less than the de-
partment paid for its silver last week, and
apparently the silver men are reluctant to
come to these terms, for up to the close OF
Office hours no acceptances were received.

CHEsTERTowN, Jan. 13.-An unusual
occurrence, quadruple execution, which
came very near being an octuple one,
took place in Jail here shortly after noon
to-day. The history leading up to the
tragic end is as follows: In April last a
gang of negroes waylaid DIR. J. H. Hill as
he was going on professional visit, cut
his throat and beat his brains out with a
club. The murder grew out of the testi-
mony of Hill in a case in which another
negro was killed some time before Fif-
teen negroes were arrested for the crime,
but only nine were indicted and one of
these was acquitted. The other eight were
sentenced to death. OF this number Chas,
Emery, Henry HURT, Joshua Baynard.
Lewis Baynard, boys of only l6 and one
l3 years of age, had their sentences com
muted by the Governor to imprisonment
for life, and secretly removed by body
of constables at night to Baltimore for
fear the enraged populace would storm
the Jail and lynch them, which they un-
doubtedly would have done. The re-
manning four, Fletcher Williams, Frisby
Conegys, Charles Brooks and Moses
Brown, were hanged on the same scaffold
to-day. Aside from the fact of the num-
Der, the scenes attending the execution
were in no way unusual. The negroes
had a season of prayer and praise before
beginning their march to the scaffold.
AS soon as the drop fell shout of ex-
ultation arose from the men who crowded
into the jail-yard and surrounded the
scaffold. Fletcher Williams and Moses
Brown died almost without a struggle.
but Brooks and Comegys went through
the most appalling contortions. The lat
ter died from strangulation, and the for
mer's death was due to the dislocation of
his neck. Old farmers who gathered
about the dying men laughed, some even
cursed the negroes. The men died in
from ten to eighteen minutes. The heart
of Williams beat seventeen minutes.
although he acted as though he died first.
At 1850 o. clock the bodies were cut down
and placed in pine coffins at once, and
two express wagons conveyed them to
the potter's field. After the execution
the people quietly dispersed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. I3.-The symptoms

into anything alarming. DR.. Hyatt re-
mained until after O'Clock to be ready
in case of a sudden emergency, but none

and there is no noticeable change in his
condition this morning.
DR.. Johnson, after his call at IL O'Clock
this morning, stated that Blaine did not
appear to be so well. He was asked if
Blaine had recovered the strength lost
from the relapse last night. johnson
said Blaine did not have a relapse. but
simply suffered from the difficulty of
respiration.
Representatives of the press were told
this evening that Blaine was about the
same. Drs. Johnson and HYATT called
about O'Clock, and after remaining with
the patient quarter of an hour left. DR..
Johnson said Blaine was languid and
weak during the day, but otherwise
there was no change in his condition.
DR.. Johnson will return to the house be-
tween IL and II o'clock and remain the
remainder of the night. This indicates
that Blaine's condition is again critical in
the extreme.

SAN BERNARDINo, Jan. 13.-About

tered the home of Oscar P. Taylor, a
lawyer of this city, on Pearl street, and
secreted himself in bedroom.
Mrs. Taylor, who was in the back yard
at the time, hearing the noise came in

The man started toward her, when Mrs.
Taylor fired, hitting him in the neck,
causing wound and profuse bleeding.
Mrs. Taylor then closed the door OF the
bedroom and locked it, when the man
called loudly to be released.
Failing in this he raised the window
and jumped out into the yard. Mrs.
Taylor then ran around the house on the
back porch and shot at him again, and
she says that she thinks she hit hiLn

hand up on his back.

matter was reported to the police this

Testimony of Physicians as to the Cause
of Death.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 13.-The court was
crowded at the second days trial of Hugh
Dempsey for completely in the Home
stead poisoning. Most of the forenoon
session was taken up with an examina-
ton of the men taken i'll while working
at Homestead and their physicians. The
latter all express their belief that the
men had been poisoned. The defense
objected to the physicians testimony
The court said the proceedings We're
somewhat irregular, but if it could be
proved that the defendants were guilty
of furnishing the poison, the evidence
would be admissible. The District At
torney said be would show this fact and
the testimony was admitted.
At the afternoon session several wit
nesses testified to having been seized
with sudden and severe illness after eat
ing in the Homestead mill.
DIR. II. S. McGeary, who treated Will
lam H. Johnston, one of the witnesses,
stated that arsenical poisoning alone
would produce such marked symptoms
as Johnston's case presented. Witness
also attended Benjamin Weaver, another
witness, whose symptoms he said could
have been produced only by some strong,
irritant poison.
DIR. A. P. Fogelman, who attended the
other witnesses, testified that the cases
did not yield to treatment as they should
have done. He said the symptoms in the
diseases could have been produced by
some corrosive poison. On cross-exam-
ination, witness said: Cooking food in
large quantities, drinking water such as
the men were not used to, and climatic
changes would tend to produce disease
similar to that which affected the men,"
The doctors testified that they were
strongly suspicious that man named
Van Wynkle died of arsenical poisoning.

WEBSTER CITY Qa.), Jan. Bone OF
the most fearful wrecks on the North
western in years occurred at 10 o'clock
last night near Stony City, Ia. A snow
plow sent out to clear the snow, running

train on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
road was telescoped at Fifty-fifth street

train to New York. The engineer of the
express believed he had a clear track, as
was usually the case, but the accommo-
dation train was delayed, and when the
engineer saw the express coming he tried
to escape, but the track was slippery and
the train did not readily respond, and the
express crashed into it, knocking the ac-
commodation fifty feet forward and
crushing the platform of the end rear car
into kindling wood, causing il to tele-
scope the one ahead of it, and that in turn
to crush into the end forward coach as far
as the fifth seat. Nobody was killed, but
John Redmond, private of Company D,
Seventeenth Infantry, U. S. A., was
probably fatally injured internally. The
other injured are all residents of Chicago
and number seventeen persons. While

is ice and plenty of it still afloat, it offered
no barrier to the progress of vessels. and
the ferry-boats were able to make trips
on schedule time. The wind that swept
out northwest must be credited with
working the change. The Narrows are

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 13.-The executors

assembled in the chambers of Superior
Judge f. NJ. Angellotti this morning for
the confirmation of the bid of 1. and w.
Seligman Il Co., and Ladenburg, Thol-

of the estate in the San Francisco and

amounts to 1920. .000, is upon the condition
that the A., 900 shares of stock of the es-
tate be delivered free to them of all in
cumbrance. The hearing of the con-
firmation of the bid has been set for Feb
ruary 9th in open court. Before the re-
turn of the bid by the executors a bid
was filed in court this morning by Will
lam Graves, present General Manager Of
the North Pacific Coast Railroad. for
S45000O for the same property, and upon
conditions somewhat similar to the
former bid. No action was taken on this
bid on the grounds that the Selignan bid
was filed yesterday and accepted before
the filing of Mr.. Graves bid, but which
will leave Mr.. Graves bid to the dis
cretion of the court at the confirmation
for acceptance. If Mr.. Graves assumes
control of the road it will meet the appro-
baton of the people throughout Sonoma
and Marin Counties, as he has shown
great skill as a railroad man In. building
up the narrow-gauge since he assumed
the managership.

DULUTH (Minn.), Jan. 13.-The ST.
Louis Hotel was burned to the ground
to-day and adjoining property badly
damaged. The fire started in the base
ment of the hotel and was caused proba-
bly, by leaky gas meter. The flames
spread with great rapidity, and many
guests had great difficulty in escaping.
There were many narrow escapes and
many were slightly injured by the break
ing ofthree windows to reach the fire es-
capes. Several ladies made their escape
very lightly clad and suffered severely
from cold. 1t was reported at first that
four or five lives were lost, but later this
was contradicted. Late this evening,
however, Conductor Schaeier of the
''Soo' line reports that Brakeman Pres
ton and Baggageman Beauder, who
roomed together at the hotel, are miss
ing, and there is little doubt they per-
ished. 1t is also feared that a scrub
woman, name unknown, perished. The
Brighton Hotel next door and other
property in the immediate vicinity suf-
tered considerable damage from heat and
smoke. The losses aggregate about So
600, of which about $4,000 is on the st.
