OF our own local talent, all are too well
known to need comment here. The sing

ed Island Pond audiences, and always
will. The selections by Miss Inez Dale
were rendered in charming and capti-
waiting manner, and won storms of APP
plause. The piano solos by Miss Grace
Norton were all we'll executed and bore
evidence of some sterling musical quail
ties, and the violin solo by Miss Pinkie
Bigclow was one OF the great attractions
of the evening. In a word the pro-
gramme was most thoroughly appreci-
atcd. After this literary treat refresh
ments were served. followed by a season
of social intercourse, making the enter
tainment one of great pleasure and en-
Joyment.

Death of Robert l.. Stevenson, the Fa-
NOUS Novelist.

AUCKLAND, Dec. 17.-Advices from
Apia, Samoa, of the date of December

Some time ago Mr.. Stevenson, who
was suffering from lung trouble,
came to the South Pacific for his
health. He became enraptured with
the Samoan islands and decided to
take up his residence and spend the
rest of his days there. He took close
interest in Samoan affairs and mas
written many letters to the news
papers in favor of the natives as
against the treaty powers under whose
direction the government of the islands
is conducted.
In Edinburgh November 13, 1850. He was edu-
Gated at private schools and at the University
of Edinburgh, and was called to the
Scottish bar, but travelled and devoted
himself to literature One of his earliest
works was an account Of his travels in Cali
fornia, but the work which established
his reputation as writer OF fiction was

Sight of the Mutilated Bodies Incensed
the Invading Army to Madness.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1S.-The Japanese
legation has received another tele-
gram from Mr.. Matsu, minister Of for
eign affairs, regarding the reported
atrocities by the Chinese soldiers at
the fall of Port Arthur. This dispatch
says the government is not yet in pos
session of the full facts in the case,
but has ascertained the following cir
cumstances:
MANY of the Chinese soldiers, both at Port
Arthur and those who came in from outlying
fortifications taken by the Japanese soldiers,
discarded their uniforms and 1t Is now known
to be certainly the case that almost all of those
Chinese In plain clothes who were killed were
soldiers in disguise. The Chinese inhabitants

before the engagement, though Il few remained
japanese and fire upon them. This they did, and
in the confusion OF the fight 1t was impossible
10 distinguish them from the Chinese soldiers.
The Japanese army entering Port Arthur was
greatly excited by the sight of fearfully-
mutilated bodies of their comrades some
of whom had been burned alive and some cru

OF the army maintained. number OF
Chinese prisoners were taken out and were
kindly treated. The wounded who could be

CRONIN Is HANGED.
He Is Executed on an Entirely New Style
of GalIows.

He Is Executed on an Entirely New Style
of Gallows.
HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. 1S. John
Cronin was hanged at Wethersfield at
LOG a. IN. Cronin murdered Albert w.
Skinner in cold blood in October, 1893.
The only motive for the crime was
that Skinner, in a joke, referred to
Cronin, who was continually in his
company, as his dog.
Tine execution was the first hanging in this
state under the law passed by the general as
sembly and the first trial of an automatic gall
lows in the east. This last is the idea OF War
den Woodbridge. Aided by James II. Rabbett,
forger now serving two-and-a-half years
sentence. the warden evolved what he consid-
ers an improvement on the hanging machine
in use in Colorado. Small shot has been sub
stituted for water in the operation of the lever
which released the weight and an arrange
ment made whereby the execution
may be stayed at any moment. The compart-
ment in which the shot are confined resem-
bles an hour glass and the mechanism en-
ployed is thoroughly under the warden's con-
troll. The shot was started in motion by the
movement of lever and another lever
would have enabled the warden to have
stopped 1t at any time. The progress of
the shot and the approaching moment when
the weight would be released was indicated on
q dial resembling clock. There was also an
arrangement by which the execution could
be effected at once. When Cronin had
been seated In the chair and made fast
a signal from the executioner indicated to
the man who had charge of the lever that he
was ready. The machinery was then set in
motion, there being no visible evidence OF any
thing unusual. The adjustment Of the machine
was made so perfect that the weight of 3O6
pounds made no perceptible noise as
it was released and fell to the ground
beneath. Instantaneously the victim was
jerked into the air falling backward to within
feet of the floor. One of the principal i'm
provements over the Colorado appliance is the
| fact that the prisoner is not his own execu-
toner With the original machine. when the
prisoner was placed on the chair it released a
| lever which started the mechanism and In
this way the man was practically forced to
| commit suicide

BOWEN is DEAD.
Tho Unfortunate Pugiiist Fails to Recover
from Lnvigne's Blow.


New ORLEANS, Dec. 17.--Andy Bow
en- died Saturday morning at 7:15
o'clock while Father Delaney was pray
ing over him. He remained uncon-
scious from the time the fatal blow
was landed and was conveyed from
his dressing-room at the club to his
home on Thalia street near Magazine.
The scene at the house this morning
was most pathetic one. DR. ed
Martin was called In at an early hOur
and did all that human skill ,'dld
to save the life that hung in the hal.
ance, but to no awail. The mrtner
of the pugilist When he was carried
into the house predicted that he would
never recover, while his young wife
grew hysterical in her agony They
sat by the side of the unconscious man
and wept and prayed as only women
can. Bowen's eyes had looked on
them for the last time and he
never opened his lips AS soon
as Bowen had died, handker-
chief was tied gently about his face
and message was sent to the police
station, notifying that Office of the
death of the pugilist, and the police
station in turn quickly sent word to
the coroner
Lavigne was not only sorry for
Bowen's death, but he was in much
apprehension as to what would be-
come of himself. Friends assured him
that he would probably have no diff
Guilty in obtaining his release after the
usual formalities of the law had been
complied with, and that he need have
no fear of lack of friends and influ-
ence to help him out of his unfortu-
nate dilemma.
Shortly after noon Saturday La
vigne's hail was fixed at $4,000,
which was promptly furnished, and
the Saginaw man was liberated. The
bail of his colleagues under arrest
was fixed at $4,000 each. Duffy, the
referee, and Spitzfaden were the only
ones to furnish bond.
New ORLEANS, Dec. II. - Coroner
Lawrason assisted by doctors Den gre,
Martin and John Lan"ens and Jy a
jury of five men huId an autopsy
on Bowen's body during the day Ner-
diet was death resulted from concus-
sion of brain. Coroner Lawrason after
the inquest said to reporter that the
death of Bowen was probably caused
by his head striking the hard floor,
for if it was caused by the blow his
neck would have been broken.

Japanese Say Their Soldiers Were Mad
dened by Chinese Atrocities.
TOXIC, Dec. 1.-THE ministry of for
eign affairs informs the correspondent
of the Associated Press that the gov
ernment's investigation into the Port
Arthur eXcesses establishes the follow
ing facts:
Previous to the capture Of that town the
Japanese troops were infuriated by the whole
sale atrocities pc rpetrated on their comrades
Nevertheless the Chinese, who promptly sur
rendered, received no injury. Several hun
dred Chinese are now In honorable custody. A
majority Of these In the town, however,
sought to disguise themselves in the
clothing left by the peaceable inhabit-
ants most of whom had left the place
days before When detected these disguised
soleiers attacked the Japanese desperately
and treacherously killed many OF them. Then
discipline gave way and great numbers were
slain. If non-combatants were killed. which
Is not credited to any large extent it was in
the firm conviction that they were actual
soldiers 1t is reported that three women were
cut down in the darkness owing to the SINH
larity of male and female.
p'Through three successive days additional
groups of concealed Chinese were detected
with mutilated Japanese corpSes secreted
among them. Maddened anew by these dis
coveries the conquerors destroyed hundreds
whom they otherwise would have spared. The
military authorities were totally unprepared
for these outbursts OF frenzy and were power
less to exercise control over the men.
1.-The government is distressed. but points to
the fact that excesses were committed only In
this instance when tho troops were made fran
tic by Chinese cruelties and treachery. This
is not pleaded in justification. but to explain
the single infringement Of order and dis
cipline which is deplored throughout the en-
Dire Stern measures have already been taken
for the repression of future misdeeds. The
English correspondents ut Port Arthur publish
statements testifylng that the troops were ex-
cited by the Chinese enormities beyond con-
troll OF their officers and avow belief in the up
| right intentions OF the government"

Slater Institution Goes Under, with Heavy
Liabilities-Savings Bank Closed.
SLATER, Mo-, Dec. 1S.-The Citizens
stock bank, capitalized at 500, 900,
closed Monday and is in the hands of
C. p. Storts as assignee. Joseph Field,
cashier of the institution, also made
an assignment for the benefit of his
creditors. The failure is bad one,
and will catch many creditors heavily.
Among them are said to be various
st. Louis and Chicago institutions.
The banks liabilities amount to about
S550,OO and assets, excluding consid-
cradle worthless paper, will not ex-
ceed $3.50, 900.
The failure was precipitated by a
call of the state officials for state
ment, which showed that of the cap
ital stock and $3.50, 900 of deposits there
is in the vaults of the bank less than
$4,000. The failure caused great ex-
citement and precipitated run on the
Slater savings bank, capitalized at
1000, and resulted in the bank be-
ing closed also.

Denver.
DENVER, Col, Dec IL. The discus.
sion of plank 10 in the political plat.
form (the socialistic plank was re-
Bumed in the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor Saturday
morning. Delegate Lloyed moved tc
rerefer the plank to the subordinate
unions.
Treasurer Lennon supported Mr..
Lloyd's motion on the ground that the
vote in many unions on the platform
was not a representative one. Dele
gate Brettell read an alleged newspa-
per interview with Attorney General
Olney, in which he was reported TO
have said that he would break up
every union in America by means of
the antitrust law. Mr.. Brettell
thought Independent political action
was necessary TO protect laboring men.
Delegate Daley, of the Lasters'
union, announced that although he
was instructed by his union to vote for
the present programme entire, the alb
clifton of the preamble. he considered,
released him from this obligation and
he should vote against plank TO-
The previous question was called

lating to the collective ownership of
all means of production and distri bu-
ton by the people to the affiliated or
ganizations to be again voted upon was

The proposition of the government
of establishing savings bank in con-
nection with the post office depart
ment was defeated by a large major
ity, and the question then REQUIRED
upon the substitute for plank 10, pro-
viding for the abolition of the land
monopoly ownership and substituting
occupancy and improvement as the
only guarantee of title, which was
adopted.
A plank was adopted favoring the
repeal of the seaman conspiracy laws,
A plank was adopted favoring the is
suance of all money direct to the peo-
pie by the government.
The question of adopting the reso-
lutions and indorsing the entire polit.
ical platform was defeated. The re-
suit was considered an overwhelming
defeat to the socialistic element.
a resolution that the headquarters
of the American Federation of Labor
be removed from New York was
adopted. The following places were
nominated as candidates for headquar

Fort WORTH, Tex, Dec. 15.-Senobio
Cara is under arrest at Laredo for
smuggling goods from Mexico, across
the Rio Grande into America.
Garza's system was unique
one. He had constructed a
small but powerful balloon in
which to transfer goods across the Rio
Grande. When a contract was se'
cured his aerial ship was inflated and
then loaded to its full capacity, the
operator by means of cord would
fasten the balloon to his body and
then swim across the river with his
merchandise high and dry.

Against Our Goods.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1S-A cable mes
sage of the greatest Importance to the
commercial interests of the United
States has gone from the state depart
ment in Washington to Madrid. 1t is
tantamount to n formal notice to the ma
tions of the earth that if trade discrlm-
nations against the United States do
not cease measures will be adopted by
the president for the protection of
American commerce under the authori-
ty of the act of congress of August 13,
1890, empowering him to stop the i'm
portation of goods from countries that
persist in such determinations
The state department has been de-
luged with complaints from all quar-
ters, and especially from the flour in
terests, that Cuban duties are pro-
hibitive and that Canada is getting all
of the export trade that the United
States formerly had. Secretary Gresh-
am has cabled to Madrid calling the
attention of the Spanish government
to this rank injustice, and suggest
ing with bluntness not to be mis-
construed that such conduct in
vites reprisal and the provisions of
the act of congress mentioned. He
further intimates in plain terms that
if the discrimination is not removed
the president will consider the advisa-
bility of arbitrarily prohibiting the
importation of Cuban sugar. The cable
cannot fail to bring Spain up with a
sharp turn, for sugar raising is the
greatest industry of Cuba, the United
States taking the greatest part of the
production of the island.
The Madrid dispatch is bound to
cause a tremendous commercial sensa-
ton, the effect of which cannot be lost
on other European nations which are
developing symptoms of an expendi-
ture of discrimination against Ameri-
can products.

BALLOTS Are Stolen.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1S.--One hundred and
ten boxes or packages containing ball
lots cast in the special election for
mayor last December have been found
in such condition as TO warrant
the belief that the ballots have
been tampered with since they left
the hands of the judges of election.
All of the tally sheets and statements
of votes cast at that election have dis
appeared from the vaults of the cleo
tion commissioners. Whether this al
most complete destruction of the elec-
tion records will prove a bar to the
contest started by George b. Swift for
the mayoralty chair remains to be seen.

Death In South America of u Noted Bank
Note Designer.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I7.-Information
has been received here that David Nc
Kee Russell, of this city, who went
to Buenos Ayres four years ago
under contract with the principal
bank-note engraving company of
South America, died in that city
recently from injuries received by
falling under train of cars. While
in Washington Mr.. Russell was an
employe of the bureau of engraving
and printing. He was a man of re-
markable mechanical ingenuity, and
designed the lathe with which the in
tricate patterns on all our bank notes
were engraved.
