WE'LL DONE.

Emboldened by the success of the
criminal classes in blowing the chief of
policies safe, burglar concluded to
beard the lion in his den," and en-
tered the house of the mayor at an early
hour yesterday morning.
If Mayor Wright had followed the
advice of the GLOBE and resigned, as
he should, he would probably have
been spared the visitation. But it
shonld be said to his credit that he
acted in very manly fashion when the
emergency arose, and he will hereafter
be recognized as all honorary member
of the GLOBE detective bureau.
Still it is hardly fair to rob the police
of a share of the glory in the matter.
They were at least n hand to take
charge of the burglar when the mayor
hadScollared him, and in fact the arous-
ing of the mayor by the police enabled
him to make the capture.
This is great improvement over the
attack on the chiefs safe, and it would
be unfair not to give credit where credit
is due.
1t was somewhat unklnd in the even
ing organ of the mayor to state that 'he
discovered the intruder, man about
the size of Assessor johnson, the eX-
chief clerk of the mayor" Mr..
Johnson is gentleman who is
considerably smaller than the mayor.
but we see no reason why, even in
the excitement created by the sue
cess of the mayor and his police
officers in this case, an honorable gen.
tleman like Mr.. Johnson should be
brought into the case. The burglar
was altogether different party from
Mr.. Johnson, and it was case where
comparisons are decidedly odious.
While the city continues to pay the
gas bill to protect the chiefs safe, the
GLOBE detective bureau tenders a
special patrol, without public expense,
toprotect the residence of the honorary
member of its force.

NEW YORK. Dec. s The announce
ment that s50t.0U0 in gold would be

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The crowd in
trout of the court room in which Dr.
Meper is being tried was so large this
morning that it required the efforts of
all the officers OH duty to force pas
sageway for those having the right of
admission. Dr. Meyer seemed in good
spirits, and responded cheerfully to his
wife's greeting as she came into court.
The first witness examined was Carl
Muller, the alleged accomplice of DR..
Meyer. Muller told how Meyer pro-
posee to get corpse from the morgue,
aud described how the prisoner sprin-
killed. anthony on the food given to
Brandt. He declared that he had seen
him do this twenty times.
Luman Ware was then called on be-
half of the people. He was an examin-
York Life Insurance company. He
identified photograph of Brandt, whom
he had examined in August, 1890. He
saw Brandt sign the application for in
surance. Witness remembered Brandt's
case because Brandt came to him out of
the regular routine. This was one in
stance of thousand, and it became
noticeable. DR.. John Ii. Burr, also as
examining physician of Chicago, testi-
fed that he had examined Brandt. He
corroborated the previous witness.
Matello Smith, agent of the New York
Life in Chicago, said Brandt was an
agent working for witness, and secured
sever al risks for him. Thomas R.LyonS,
manager of the Etna Insurance COM
paDy, Chicago, identified the picture OF
Brandt,as being that of the man whom
he had insured under the name OF
Baum i'll 1891.
Mr.. Brooks objected on the ground
that the evidence had nothing to do
with the crime. Objection overruIed
and exception taken. Charles D. Welt

Chicago, identified the photographs and
an application for insurance written by
witness. Milton Denny, chief clerk III
the Chicago Office OF the Mutual Life,
also identified the photograph as Brandt
and had written policy for him. Wit
ness said that at the time he had issued
the policy. Baum, or Brandt. claimed
that he had never been a canvasser for
crayon portraits. Lewis G.. Pentield.
cashier of the Mutual Life. Chicago,
identified the photograph as being that
of the man he knew as Baum. He gave
Baum policy, the man paying one-half
the premium down. to pay the other at
future time. The witness also identi-
fed the siguiture of Baum Oh the appli-
cation. CroSs-examination failed to de-
velop any points for the defendant.
The jury asked that night sessions be

Much Disaster in the Irish Chan
LONDON, Dec. S.-A heavy gale has
passed over the United Kingdom, trav-
cling in northeasterly direction, and
assuming its full force in the Irish
channel. The local steamers at Green
oek and in the Clyde had terrible ex-
perience. The morning mails could not
be landed during the night. The steam
er Mountaineer, with the Rothesay
mails. was dashing against a pier at
Gouroek and damaged. She was obliged
to return to Greenock. A woman died
from exposure in pitiless rain between
citing scenes at Ayr during the
rescue of the crew of the
Norwegian steamer Contest. The
vessel broke from her mornings when
the gale was at its fiercest, and she
drffted helplessly along the coast. The
life-saving service endeavored to use
rockets, but the apparatus became en-
tangled and was rendered useless. The
lifeboats were then launched, and the
twelve members of the crew of the
steamer were finally landed through the
surf with the greatest difficulty.
An immense amount of damage to
property was done at Dundee and Dub
lin. A portion of the Fendt pier and
yards of the railway at Tralee. County
Kerry, were destroyed. A schooner is
ashore at Kilfinora. Many fishing boats
were wrecked. a vessel was observed
firing rockets three miles from Holy
head. 1t is believed that she was lost.

RUNNING HYMNS.
Two Young Men Sing on the Scat
fold Before the Drop.


.DANvILLE, ILL.,, Dec S.-Harvey Pate
and Frank Stires were hanged today
for the murder of Henry Helmick, a
wealthy farmer of Pilot township ON
the night of August last. The young
men, who are but twenty-one and
twenty years of age respectively, passed
a quiet night after bidding farewell to
their relatives. and were composed
when the sheriff came in at II 80 today
to read the death warrant. At
1850 the procession was formed

ing, followed by the two boys in
the custody of deputies. Both stood
upon the scaffoId calmly waiting the
fatal moment. aud unsupported. Two
long prayere followed. but there was
no nervousness on the part of the boys.
Pate said he was sorry for the deed,
and he wanted to warn all boys against
bad company and bad books. Stires
merely said: "That's right. 1 hope TO
meet you in heaven" Pate remarked:
s'This is the happiest day of my life"
70 which Stires responded: ''You bet"
At 1902, while the ministers sang
carer My OOu W 4ASe,
Newton raised heavy hand-ax, cut
the rope and the drops fell with a crash.
The fall was five feet, and the necks of
both men were broken. Pate's shoulder
and body shook convuIsively few sec
onds, while the legs slowly swung
about. Stires hardly moved after the
drop. Doctors noted the pulses, and
inside of eight minutes pronounced
both dead.
A great crowd of people were about
the Jail, and there was much curiosity
to see the bodies, but the sheriff put
them into collins and in covered wagons
and had them conveyed away. The
manner in which these two boys, one
twenty-one and the other nineteen
years of age. met death is only ex-
planned by the religious excitement
which held them up. They went on the
scatfold humming religious hymns, and

ST. Louis Water. Famine.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. S.-The city is facing
water famine unprecedented in its
surrounding circumstances. The Mis-
slssippi, from which the supply IS
drawn, is the lowest ever known at this
season of the year. The gauge in the
channel shows the water below the zero
mark, which means that at the chain of
water, while at BisselFs point several of
the city engines are pumping wind into
the conduits. A fall of single foot will
smut off the clty's supply from the river
entirely. The cause is the blocking of
the Missouri at Hermann. Mo-, and the
Mississippi at Alton, ILL.,. with ice. A
warm spell TO thaw the ice or a rain
must come soon to relieve the situation.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Bradstreet,s to-

to put in operation within three months,
while importers and others have on
hand, owing to prolonged trade depres-
sion, relatively large stocks of foreign
goods, tend to further depression.
Wooden and iron industries have lost
the signs of reviving strength visible
two weeks ago, and are practically
without animation at bottom prices.
Lumber industries are dull. Existing
heavy wheat stocks in the United States
on record are due to beginning the sea-
son with unprecedentediy large sup

named and Chicago, where some job
bers have been carrying customers since
