CLARK AND JONES HANGED.
Mime. Wright's Murderers Expiate Their
Crime Upon the liallows.


Crime Upon the GallOws.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-. June 3O-Harry
Jones and William c. Ricksher. alias
John Clark. who murdered Madame
Wright on September 0. 1893. suffered
death on the gallows yesterday.
With a smile on his lips Jones was
hanged inside the walls of the hide
pendence Jail at 9:O6 o'clock a. IN. He
marched to the scaffold singing q
hymn, and when the trap was sprung
he was the coolest man present.
He was sustained throughout not by
bravadO. but by the consciousness that
he was going straight to Heaven. His
neck was broken by the drop of & feet,
and fourteen minutes later life was dc.
clared to be extinct by the physicians.
From the time the trap fell until the
last heart pulsation he never moved a
muscle, and his death was evidently as
painless as it was rapid.
Clark was hanged in the county jail
in this city at 1l:lO o'clock. His neck
was broken and he was declared dead
in seven and one-half minutes. Like
Jones he died bravely but his COM
posture came from the determination to
endure the ordeal without flinching
His last words uttered in trembling
voice were: May my God forgive
me-" a voice from one of the specta-
tors responded solemnly Amen

the-Marne, was showing his pupils
Friday how President Carnot had been
stabbed. The children gathered
around him as he drew the knife.
A boy named Gerard, years of
age, fell forward in his excite.
ment and struck his breast on the
knife and it pierced his heart. He died
instantly. The children ran scream.
ing from the school room.
No sooner was Guillemin alone than
he tried to kill himself with the same
knife, but he was saved by two men
who had been attracted to the school
by the cries of the fleeing children.
His wounds are not dangerous. The
master is loved by his pupils and the
dead boys parents have besought the
authorities not to prosecute him.

The National League Adopts . Platform
Officers Chosen.
DENVER, Col, June 2S.-When the
Republican League convention reas'
sembled yesterday the committee or
resolutions reported.
The resolutions adopted express
shame for the policy of the democratic
party, and contrast its record with
that of the republican party, to winch
allegiance is renewed: favor free bal
lot and fair count: favor protection to
American industries: denounce the Will
son bill: declare for both gold and sill
yer maintained on parity. and for the
complete reconciliation of silver: favor
pensions and condemn the policy OF the
democratic party on the pension ques-
ton: favor the admission of the terri
tories, and demand safeguards incor-
porated in our immigration laws to
prevent unworthy immigrants from
coming here, and commend to favora-
BILE consideration woman suffrage.
Election of officers resulted: Presi-
dant, w. w. Tracy, of Springfield, ILL.,;
secretary, Andrew b. Humphrey. of
New York; one vice president from
each State league and an executive
committee consisting of one member
from each State league. To the exec
utive committee was left the duty OF
selecting treasurer and the time for
holding the next convention.
The committee appointed to select
the place at which the next convention
shall be held submitted a report recon-
mending Des Moines. This was the
signal for a sharp skirmish. The re-
port of the committee was ignored and
a number of cities were proposed.
Finally vote was taken. the result
being the choice of Cleveland, O., by
vote of sI3 to 7s4. The convention then
adjourned sine die
