MGARRAHAN IS DEAD.
The Famous Claimant Will Az.

Thirty-sIx Years He Fought for What

WASHINGTON. April 24.-William Nc
Garrahan. the celebrated claimant To the
New Idria mine. died at Providence
Hospital at 11.4 A. NJ. to-day. He had
been a familiar figure at the Capitol for
years. and was we.l-known to the eSna-
tors and members. a majority OF whom
were believers in the pustice Of his
claim.
william McGarrahan had spent thir-
ty-six years and a fortune In the prose-
cution of his claim to u rich tract Of
mineral land in California, known as
the Panoche Grende Ranch. The tract
had been Ave times legally declared his

GILR0Y REFUSES CONSENT.
VIII Not Permit Miss Pierce to
Play In "Hannele."

There was a prose rehearsal of the
play of "Hannele" before Mayor Gilroy
in the Mayors office this morning. Ell
bridge T. Gerry, OF the Gerry Society,
read the play, or rather those portions
Of It in which Annie Pierce, the child
actress, takes the leading part. and to
which he objects on the ground that the
plot is impious and sacrilegious, and
would be detrimental to the morals OF
the young girl. He objected particularly
to the part representing the Saviour on
the stage. He protested against permits
sion being granted to the girl to appear
in the play at the Fifth Avenue Theatre.
Carl and Theodor Rosenfeld. Miss
Pierce's managers. and Gerhard Haupt-
man. the author. OF "Hannele,," We're
present. They tried to show that the
Objectionable parts had been eliminated.
but Mr.. Gerry insisted that the omis-
sion had merely been made for the pur-
pose of securing favorable action.
Mayor Gilroy refused to grant a per
nit for the girl to appear.

MUST LAY TRACKS.
Aldermen More Than Give Lenox
Avenue for q Railroad
Metropolitan Traction Company Or.
dsred TO Abide by Its Charter.
Some Doubts that Its Franchise II
Still In Force.

The Metropolitan Traction Company.
whose persuasive methods are 30 effec-
tive with the Board of Aldermen, Sc
cured another valuable privilege from
the Board to-day. In fact, the Company
got more than 1t asked for from the
generous city fathers.
The Company claims the right to build
a road on Lenox avenue as an extern
sion OF the Sixth avenue line. The law
OF 1851 gives the Company the right to
construct a road on that part OF Sixth
avenue which has since become part OF
Central Park, and Is now known as
Lenox avenue.
The obliging Alderman did more than
grant permission to lay tracks. They
passed a resolution requiring the Com
pany to lay track In accordance with
the provisions OF its charter.
There is grave doubt as to whether
the time limit of the franchise has not
expired. Forty-three years have inter-
vcned since the granting OF the charter.
The Metropolitan Traction Company
has encountered no difficulty mp to date
In securing from the Aid q IN cny-
thing 1t wants in the way OF privileges.

w, K. HENRY AT HALIFAX.
Opens the Campaign With a Ringing
Speech

y CORES pondent writing from Weldon
to the Richmond Times under date Of
last Saturday. says:
The Democratic campaign was opened
at Halifax to-day by Hon. Waiter K.
Henry, OF Vance. Mr.. Walter +. Daniel,
in a few well-chOsen words, introduced
Mr.. Henry. The assemblage was com
posed OF some of the best people OF the
county, and Mr.. Henry ,Sn a twO-hOnrs'
speech, held up the records of the two
great parties. He said that while the
tariff bill was not what we wanted, it was
Il much better bid than the iniquitous
Mckinney bill He said the Third party,
led on by kitchin, Butler, and Others,
had fallen into pool OF Kepublicanism,
and that no reasonable man could afford
in this approaching struggle to desert
the Democratic party.
1t was the great party OF civil liberty,
and he advised his hearers to stand by
the party, and sweep the combination
made by the leaders of the Republicans
and the POpulists out of existence, and
resolve that this great battle, once be-
gun, shall never cease until victory is
within our grasp.
Mr.. Henry made a powerful appeal to
the assemblage, and this speech will
doubtless be the means OF retaining
many OF the honest farmers, who had
gone over to the Populists.
