Mexican lady who belonged to prom
inent family. The story is that through
her Governor Pesqueira induced Crabb to
raise a command Of Americans to 60 into
Sonora and assist him In gaining victory
over the opposition. Capt Crabb raised q
party, sending a portion by water to
Libertadt, on the Gulf of California, and
with about one hundred men came across
the country. expecting to join the others
on the Gulf coast. Soon after he got on
the field, Pasqueira crushed his foes,
and knowing that he would be severely
criticised for calling Americans to his
aid. denied having anything to do with
bringing Crabb and his men into the
country. He sent Gabilondo and his
battalion to escort Crabb and his party to
American soil.
In the meantime Crabb had started
back, but was overtaKen BY Gabilondo
and his troops at Caborica. Without
warning the latter opened fire on Crabbs
party, and brisk fight took place, sew
eral being killed on each side. Crabb
and his men took shelter in the old
church, and, though largely in the mi
nority, made it warm for Gabilondo.
Finally the latter, under cover of flag
of truce, proposed that if the Americans
would lay down their arms he would
peacefully escort them to the American
line. Crabb complied, but no sooner had
they laid down their arms than they
were formed in line, marched to
the south side of the church
made to stand back up against
the wall, and all of them shot, except
boy seventeen years old, who managed to
escape. Some time after Crabb's tragic
death his wife returned to Mexico, and
was stabbed to dea:h from behind one
night while walking along the street in
Guayamas. 1t was thought that the deed
was done by an agent Of Pessueira and
because she knew too much
about Crabb's going into Mexico.
Several other murders were credited to
including the brutal murder
of customs officers while he was collector
at Casabe. His latest escapade was the
murder of q prominent merchant at I'm
urls recently, who had been elected pres
ident of the town. Gabilondo and his
son hired policeman to call the mer-
chant and shoot him. When arrested
the policeman told the whole story. and
he was killed by young Gabilondo, who
escaped to the City of Mexico, where he

CARTER HARRIsON'S ASSASSIN.
His Trial VIII Come on During the Last
Week of November.

>~-D
Week of November.
Eugene Joseph Prendergast, the as
sassln OF Mayor Harrison, OF Chicago,
has been very quiet, except for the
first few days, since his arrest, and has
refused to answer any questions. In
stead OF being the criminal hero he ex-
pected to become he finds he is despised
by all. The prisoners, his fellows,
have been Outspoken in their denun-
Citations OF him, and he knows their
sentiments well. This general feeling
OF adherence had its effect on Prem
dergast, and after few days. incar-
ceration he lost much of the fierce
look and speech of madness
which he betrayed on his arrest
When the physicians appeared to
make an examination of him the other
day he was perfectly quiet, and refused
to speak further than to answer neces.
sary questions. He was subjected to a
most elaborate physical examination.
His head and body were measured, his
eyesight tested, and his heart and
lungs sounded. The physicians at the
end refused to give the results until
they had consulted together. And, in
any case, they said, the trial was the
only proper time for them to speak.
Prendergast was brought before
Judge Dunno for examination. His
lawyers asked for thirty days post
ponement in which they might cali witt
nesses from a distance. The case was
set for Nov. q. This proved satisfac-
tory. and Prendergast was taken back
to his cell. The defense will be in
sanity, and the prosecution will en-
deavor to prove that Prendergast is
not insane.

Results OF the Election . Surprise to WASH
ington Politicians.
Washington dispatch: The result of
the election was received with surnrise
by all political parties here. The un-
expected happened in so many in
stances that in no case were the pre-
9lctlons OF Democrats, Republicans, or
Populists fully verified. The chief
surprise OF the Democrates arises, not
from the fact that they were defeated,
but that the defeat was so general in
all doubtful States and the Republican
majorities SO overwhelming. Express
slons from nearly all the prominent
Democratic leaders at the capital sew
eral days before election showed that
Inc democrats were preparing for
defeat in those States where the
Tree coinage element is strong and the
OF the repeal bill intense, but it was
hardly expected that in the Sound
money" States of New York and Massa-
chusetts the Democratic majorities of
the past would be SO ruthlessly moved
down and the careful efforts of perfect
organization avail SO little. Despite
this all the prominent Democratic lead
ers unite in ascribing the general de-
feat throughout the country to two
causes. The dissatisfaction Of the agri-
cultural elements over the financial
question and the widespread apathy of
disappointed office-seekers who have
failed to realize the fruits of the last
Democratic victory. In Iowa the de-
feat OF Boies is important, not in that
it means Republican Governor in
that State and q Republican United
States Senator next winter, but that it
practically removes Boies from the list
OF Western candidates for the Presi-
dency in '96.
The President did not show that in
tense interest in the returns that would
have indicated confidence in Demo-
cratic victory. Early in the evening
the President went to his country
home instead of remaining at the Ex-
ecutive Mansion, as is usual on election
nights, and the returns he received

lance to be telephoned out to Woodley

A PATENT apparatus for the trans
fer OF coal to war ships at sea was
tested of Sandy Hook recently by
the cruisers Kearsarge and San Fran
cisco, the former serving as the
collier. A wire kept taut by coun-
terpoise weight was strung from the
kearsarge to the San Francisco, the
end on the flrst-named steamer pass
ing over spar from the counterpoise
weight at a height thirty-six feet
above Il e receiving deck OF the San
Francisco. Over this wire bags of
sand representing coal were trans
mitted with trolley. A ton of sand
In bags weighing 200 pounds each
was sent aboard the San Francisco in
twenty minutes. This was not rapid
work, but it served to show that the
method Of transhipment is effort in
the right direction, and that by i'm
proving the apparatus the speed of
delivery might be doubled, IL not
quadrupled. During times of war
coal is quite as important as ammu-
milton on war ships, and emergencies
may arise when fuel is more desir-
able than powder. shot or shell. This
Is why the naval powers so quickly
seize every opportunity to secure
naval stations. II coal can be rap
idly transhipped at sea fast coal
transports will become important
adjuncts OF navies, and the coalinp
station will decline somewhas In i'm
pOrtance.
