torium orchestra. Then followed the
presentations. After this a gold medal
from the members of the committee was
presented to Herr Strauss. Baron Bez-
Though Strauss may belong to the
whole world, he belongs TO us before all.
We Viennese will not allow our Strauss
to be taken from US. May he live long
and yet make mankind crazed with his
paradise melodies"
At 10:45 Burgomaster Gruble arrived
from the Ratheshouse. The crowd was
then so dense that he found il difficult to
reach a position beside the waltz king
After he reached Herr Strauss the Burgo-
master said: II am instructed by the
Town Council to greet you in the names
of your vaterstadt to our illustrious son.
All Viennese, without exception, are de-
lighted that you are able thus to partici-
pate. May you sbe spared long to the
joys and the pride of your vaterstadt."

selor Wintement and DIR. Won Spiegel

ton of the Vienna Maennergesang We

Mr.. Strauss said: 81 am not a speaker
For ali these splendid presents l am
thankful for my predecessors, my father
aud tanner. They showed me the way
to progress was possible through the de-
velopment of the form; that is my single
insignia of merit" [Cries of no. Herr
Strauss paused for moment and then
continued, saying: "My efforts have
been feeble attempts to improve the gifts
which inherited. / have been extra
fortunate, but feel that / have been too
greatly honored. Cries of no, no. In
deed, you give me over honor"
Herr Strauss hesitated at this point,
placed his hand upon his forehead and
muttered: "Es istschon genug." and
then sat down. His friends enthusiastic
cally clamored for the privilege of shak-
ing hands with MIN.
Among the congratulatory messages
that were received from all over the

ELIZABETH N. j., Oct. 15.-Mrs. Jen-
ME Harrigan and her three children per-
ished by fire in a barn upon their farm in
the esuburbs ofthis city to-day. The general
belief is that Mrs. Harrigan became sud-
denly insane. set the house on fire, took
the children into the barn, and, locking
the door, set the nay on fire. The eldest
of the children was years old, the
youngest ii months.
Mr.. Harrigan, peddler, went to New
ark this morning. When the neighbors,
attracted by the smoke, reached the Har-
rigan house, they found box of wood in
the house on fire. but it was quickly ex-
tinguished. The flames in the barn, how
ever, had gained such Roadway that
nothing could be done until the flimsy
structure had been burned to the ground.
1t was then that the fate OF Mrs Harri-
gan and her three children became
known. Mrs. Harrigau was 80 years old,
and had shown no signs of insanity,
though for time she had been despond-
ent over the circumstances OF herself and
family.

New YORK, Oct. 15.-At Prohibition
Park last evening, DIR. McGlynn an
swered some questions put to him by
members of the A. p. \. DIR. McGlynn
said that Charles S. Haskell of Prohibi-
tion Park had handed these questions to
answer:
l. Is there anything in the constitution
of the Catholic Church which is a menace
to republican form of government?
2. Is it true that the vows Of the Cath
olic priesthood interfere with loyal citi-
zenship in a republican country like our
own?
8. Was not the Archbishop of New
York compelled to interfere with your
rights as citizen because of your politi-
cal enthusiasm?
The first question Father McGlynn an
swered with an emphatic no. He added:
The Catholic Church will not menace
this country. So far from the POPE try
ing to revolutionize this country, it is the
reverse, and in no country does the up
holding of the Catholic faith so please
him as in America"
TO the second question Dr. McGlynn
replied: THE priests do not take VOWS.
They only make promises at the time Of
ordination. Those promises only restrict
the priest in his religious observances
and to celibacy."

Two Young Men Horribly MutiIated
by Giant Powder Explosion.
MOKELUMNE HILL, Oct. l5.-One of the
most shocking accidents that ever hap
pened in this vicinity occurred between
IL and II o'clock this morning, with Dos
sibly fatal results. Two young men.
named James and George Lipp, aged II
and 10 years, were horribly mutilated by
the explosion Of box of giant powder
caps.
They went for a walk to the Moser
mine and on their return on a new road
recently constructed to the mine discov-
cred near the roadside box of giant
powder caps, piece of fuse and about
half dozen giant powder cartridges.
Just how the accident occurred is not vet
known. However, man named HALEY
Gold saw TWO men coming down the road
locked arm IN arm, staggering from one
side of the road to the other and uttering
fearful shrieKs. He at first thought them
to be drunken men, but on their nearet
approach discovered the horrible condi-
ton of the boys. He seated them be-
meath tree and hurried to town for as
Sistance. a conveyance Immediately
started out and brought them in and DR.
Blaisdell of this town and DR.. Simmons
of San Andreas were summoned.
The condition of the young men was
terrible in the extreme. The left irand of
James was torn to shreds, necessitating
amputation at the wrist. His eve sight
was destroyed, his head, face. and upper
part of his body filed with fragments of
metal from cap shells and the tin box in
which the shells were contained, while
his brother George was mangled about
the head, losing one eye, and probably
both. The first and second finger and
the thumb of the left hand of James were
found near the place still holding half
burnt cigarette. The assumption is that
while holding the box spark fell among
the cartridges, causing the explosion.
The full extent of the injuries cannot vet

Deputy Sterling shot both, killing Can

which they are charged, as many miners
declare both were at a ball in Victor at
the time The robbery was committed
The Coroner's jury eXonerated Deputy
Sheriff sterling. Sterling said his reason
Tor removing the prisoners so hastily
from Cripple Creek was that he feared an
attempt at rescue would be made. His
testimony concerning the shooting was
as follows: I'VE drove to Cripple Creek
and to the divide, and We're putting our
horses in livery stable. My two guards
brought the guns and leaned them up
against the wall. The prisoners grabbed
both guns and leveled them at me. One
said: Hold up your handsr and the

WASHINGTON, Oct. I5.-Governor Till

view with Commissioner Miller of the

question on which there seems to be a
conflict between Federal and State au-
thorities. Under the dlspensary laws of

In all such cases the Governor proposes
TO tender the tax due the Government
and seize the spirits. contending that the
Federal authorities have no right to in
tertere in the matter.
Commissioners Miller took issue with
the Governor and cited several decisions
of the courts, among them one by the
Supreme Court of the United States.
wherein it was held that goods in bonded
warehouses were not subject to any pro-
cess or proceeding issued from State
court.
Another complication has arisen re-
gaIding the free alcohol section of the
new tariff bill. Secretary Carlisle. ow-
ing TO the failure OF Congress to make the
necessary appropriation, is unable to put
the law into effect. Notwithstanding the
Secretary's decision, alcohol, ETC., used
in the arts is free since August 2Sth.
Users of alcohol in medicine and in the
arts want to know whether they violate
the law in removing stamps from the
empty barrels. II they do not, they will
have no evidence on which to base claims
against the Government for the return of
duty paid since the law went into effect.
ON the other hand, as the law now stands
they are liable for heavy penalties for not
destroying the stamps when the barrels
are empty.

A PROFESSIONAL BURGLAR.
Double Life Led by Man Claiming to
be a Dealer in Horses.

BosToN, Oct. 15.-Investigation by de-
tectives has brought to light the fact that
William Barrett, now locked up in the
Cambridge Jail charged with the murder
Of Constable James Farrar of Lincoln,
Mass, last May, led a strange double life.
In New York City he supported wife
and child in style, and represented to
them that he was a dealer in driving
horses, while the evidence secured by
the police leads to the conclusion that he
was also prominent burglar.
On the night of May 17th last, burglar
entered the house of James Farrar of
Lincoln. Farrar was awakened, and
with his brother and several neighbors
pursued the burglar. After following the
footprints of the thief for some hours
they came across Barrett in the
woods and attempted TO arrest him.
In the struggle which followed Barrett
killed Farrar. Barrett was captured
however, and on him was found a COM
plete burglars kit. 1t now develops that
Barretrs real name is William Bassett.
and the police claim tnat he has been a
professional burglar for some time.

The derellct piling was from the raft, and
entertains no fear as to her safety. He
claims that the raft was constructed so
that it would stand the heaviest sea that
ever rolled, and if one of the piles came
loose the whole thing would not go to
pieces. 1t is understood that the raft is
insured for $4,000, which is about one
half OF its cost to the owners.
