owed Mr.. Payne 100000, which he had

shells were thrown out into the bay by the

The story told by DR.. Winslow follows:
" Jack the Ripper was medical student

AT BROOKLYN.
Three Distinct shacks Felt, bat No
Damage Reported.

BROOKLYN, n. ". Sept. 1.-Three dis
tinct earthquake shocks were felt by the
residents of Brooklyn about o'clock this
morning. No damage to life or property
is reported from any section Of the city.
The districts of East New York and South
Brooklyn received the greatest shock. but
the rumblipgs were felt in other sctions
of the city. Contradictory reports are given
as to the severity OF the shocks. The first
shock which was felt at o'clock was
followed by ruinbling noise like distant
thunder. This was followed by two other
slighter shocks, which, according 10 most
of the reports, died away in a low grating
tone. superintendent of Police McKelveJ
telephoned to the police headquarters from
his Greene-avenue residence TO the effect
that he had been awakened from
a sound sleep by the EARTH
quake He said that the house
oscillated and the bed on which he was
sleeping moved perceptibly. Deputy Com
missioner of Police Crosby, who was stop
ping at Coney island, also telephoned to
headquarters that the shock had been
pretty severe in that section of Brooklyn
He described it as a low, rumbling noise
and added that many houses had been
shaken all Of the inhabitants being aroused
from their sleep.
James jackson, colored watchman at
the municipal building. said that the resi-
dents of the Twenty-fifth ward were
startled by three shocks in rapid succes-
sion, followed by a rumbling noise. The
houses trembled. and many pictures and
other ornaments hanging on the walls
were thrown TO the floor. Two conductors
of the Atlantic avenue railroad. who were
dining in a restaurant on Washington
street. reported that they felt the earth
quake shock. The building trembled per
ceptbly while the plates and other dishes
on the table were moved. They said the
shock was like the effects OF distinct ex-
plosion. At many hotels the guests were
so frightened by the vibrations that -they
hurried into the Railways to find out the
cause OF the trouble. The guests At the
Pierrepont House were very much alarmed
and many OF them went down stairs and
asked the night clerk what had happened.

WARNING TO DIVERS.
Man Breals His Neck by Taking a
Header I'm Shallow Water.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1-wiiliam Kline had
his neck broken this afternoon in a peculiar
manner. He was an expert swimmer and
had taken his wife to the lake to see him
do some fancy swimming and diving. Don
ming his bathing costume he ran 10 the
edge of the embankment where the water
was about seven feet below, and, jumping
into the air, came down head first into the
lake. The water was but two feet deep and
his head struck the bottom with terrific
force. He managed to gain his feet, but as
he did so his head fell to one side and a
second later he was lying on his face in the
water. Mrs Kline screamed for help and
in a short time the man was brought TO the
shore. Then II was found that his neck had
been broken and that life was extinct.

LEGISLATIVE JUNKETING.

The spectacle presented by the
legislative junket to saltwater yes
terday ought to be sufficient to wipe
out the junketing abomination in
every form and bring the members
Of the legislature to a realizing sense
of their obligation to the public. 1t
had been arranged to take the mem
bers of the legislature, with few
friends and the representatives of
the press, to visit the state prison,
this being one of the duties of the
legislature. The st. Paul & Duluth
Railroad company had provided
transportation, the prison officials
had prepared a lunch for the visitors,
and it was assumed that no one ex-
cept those directly interested would
accompany the party. 1t being
holiday it seems that there were
some hundreds of persons olsen
gagged. all of whom, with rare deli
cacy and presence of mind, invited
themselves to accompany the party
and partake of the hospitality of the
warden. They made the trip, stared
and gawked at the convicts, demol-
ished the bill of fare and stood
around with their hands in their
pockets, signing for other lunches to
conquer. They had no interest what
ever in the prison or it's manage
ment, no object in going except to
stand around and prevent the mem
bers of the legislature from learning
anything of the workings of the in
stitution, and no more business
there than they would have in an
executive session of the senate.
Their attendance was no more proper
than it would have been had they
been unlimited guests at the gov
errors ball, and had the managers
of the junket been as little disposed
to regard the proprieties as were
the unlimited rabble, the latter would
have had the prison doors closed in
their faces.
The whole affair was an outrage
on the prison managers, the railroad
company, the citizens of saltwater,
and a palpable outrage on the gen
eral public. If the legislature wants
to bring upon itself the contempt OF
the whole state, it should repeat the
ridiculous performance of yesterday.

SCHUMACHER BILL
Is Favored by the ShOemakers'
Union.
To the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
The labor people of St. Paul and the
balance of the state are very much in
terested in the Schurmeier bill pro-
viding for the adjustment Of contract
labor in this state. The question of
contract labor has puzzled the law
makers of many of the oldest states
in the nation, and the Schumacher bill
has been carefully drafted after a
careful and thorough research Of all
existing laws of the older states. The
labor people of this state do not de-
sire to see the binding Irvine plant at
the Saltwater penitentiary removed,
but they do desire to have contract Ia
Dor in other respects wiped out. The
binding Irvine plant at Saltwater has
saved the farmers of this state the
magnificent sum of 100000, and now
the daily toilers ask the farmers of
the great, prosperous state of Mime
sofa to help them destroy the PERM
cious system of convict contract labor.
The Schurmeier bill provides for the
employment of all of the convicts. 1t,
however, prohibits the employment of
more than Is per cent in any one in
dustry, except in the binding Irvine
department The Republicans of the
nation have always preached protec-
ton to American labor. Now let them
carry it out in a local case. The me-
chanics and artisans Of this state
have not had picnic in the past, and
now that times are harder than ever
they are compelled to face convict
contract labor. The prison, in addi-
ton to having a binding Irvine plant,
against which we say nothing, but
which, on the other hand, we heartily
approve, has also a department for
the manufacture of shoes. This shoe
factory is prosperous and employs
about 200 hands. 1t will not be long
before it will be employing several
hundred more, if not wiped out. Every
convict employed in the Saltwater
penitentiary deprives one of our free
fellow citizens of work in that line.
With a successful shoe department in
operation. it will not be many years,
or perhaps months, before other de-
partments are added, thereby forcing
others outside the prison walls to seek
employment outside of the state. It
is not convenient or profitable for en-
ployes to keep moving around. 1t is
the wish and deSire-aye, even the
prayer-of every laboring man in this
state and their true friends that this
bill may speedily become the law of
the state. There is an overwhelming
majority of Republicans in the pres
ent legislature of this state, and Of
course, it is taken for granted that
they believe in the principles of their
party, or they would not be where
they are today. What we labor people
want is protection, and not wind. We
want action along the lines advocated
by believers in and preachers of pro-
lection, and we hope and trust that
the legislature of this state will allow
the Schurmeier bill to become a law,
or will enact a law designed to cover
the same ground as there is covered
in this bill. Mr.. Editor, we hope you
will help push this thing along.

President of Shoemakers Union, ST.
