SCENES IN THE REICHSTAG.
Socialists Grow Vehement and Are
Called to Order-Govern-
ment'S Position.

Berlin, Dec 12.-In the Reichstag TO-
day Herr HausInann (National LiberaD
declared that the tone of the speech of
the minister for war, Gen. Bronzart von
Schellendorf, yesterday, when he said
among other things that should the po-
lice fail and the army be required to
deal with socialism, there would be no
cbiId's play, etc, lowered the standard
of the good taste of the House. Herr
Hausmann made other remarks or the
subject, which resulted in his being callGd
to order.
DR. Schoenstedt, the minister Of JUS
tice said there was no such thing in
Germany as one-sided justice. He added
that the authorities were far from wish
ing to prosecute on the charge Of lese
majestic uneducated people who We're
guilty of thoughtless remarks. But, he
continued, the public prosecutors were
doing their duty in prosecuting those
who were found guilty of the carefully
calculated insults which appear in the
Socialistic press.
This called forth vehement Interrupt
ton from Herr Liebknecht, the Social
istic l~ader, which led to his being called
to order.

The old Roman was 80 years old the
18th of last November, and had it not
been for the accident month ago, might
have lived for a number of years, for
the feebleness of age had by no means
overcome him. He has not been able to
leave his home for more than q year,
it is true. but he could walk about the
house without assistance, could read and
retained much of the power of his once
vigorous mind. The shock of the acct
dent more than the actual physical inju,
ries seemed to impair his hold upon life
and while he grew temporarily better
he has at no time been recovering his
accustomed health.

HAYWARD HANGED.
Catharine Ging's Murderer Pays
the Death Penalty.
Retained His Bravado to the Enid No
Confession.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. Hilary
Hayward, the murderer of Catharine
Cling, was hanged at 2:O5 o'clock this
morning. He made statement of five
nlinutes' duration, and while not making
a confession, said he hoped God would
forgive him for all the harm he had ever
done.
The murderer went to the gallows with
a laugh on his lips, and went down with
the trap, just as he uttered the words,
lightly, Let her go, Megaarden." The
command was directed to the chief dep
uty. Prior to the execution, he main
tained the nerve which he has always
shown. He took his last supper shortly

with apparent relish The Rev. Father
Timothy arrived shortly after not upon
the summons of the condemned man,
but in case that at the last moment a
desire should be expressed by the hither-
to unrepentant man for a spiritual adj
wiser.
Laughed and JOked.
During the evening, Hayward held a
lengthy conversation with his attendants,
and laughed and joked on the subject
of his approaching execution. AS Capt.
Sandberg was covering the windows of
the jail, looking into the alley. Harry
noticed him and shouted: That's right.
Block out the gaping crowd. There will
be no visitors here after 5 o'clock in the
morning. People wishing to see me will
have to call at the morgue as l intend to
change my quarters" and he laughed as
he said it.
To the newspaper men he said: Il
would like to see the account of how this
thing came out and about my actions on
the scaffold,' and again he laughed us

his DEATH
Was an Atrocious Crime.
The murder of Catharine Cling was
one of the most sensational that has been
committed i'll recent years. On the
night of December 3, 1894, Miss Ging's
bOdS was IouHu OII CuS OulShIIlS Ol Mill
neapolis, and there was only the remotest
clue to the identity of her murderer
The facts known were that Miss Cling
had left her home that night and that
she had entered a buggy without any
companion Later on in the evening the
vehicle was brought back by the horse
which walked quietly into the stable and
did not appear to have been in the least
ili-used. When the body was discovered
there was a bullet wound in the head,
and the Indications pointed to someone
who had been an occupant of the vehi-
Gle as the actual murderer, but there
was no evidence as to who that some
one was. There were also wounds
about the head, as if inflicted by the
butt end of a revolver in order to COM
plete the murder. With these facts to
work on the police began their investiga-
tions, and had several acquaintance OF
the deceased woman placed under arrest,
but, after the most diligent search, all
were let go. Harry Hayward was
among the first to be pla ced under sus-
picion. but he had covered his tracks so
carefully that the police released him
after very short investigation. and
other possible criminals We're looked for.
Then A. A. Hayward was spoken of,
and finally both brothers were put under
arrest in spite Of their almost perfect
alibi which had deceived the officers
on the first investigation. NAdry finally
made confession. showing Harry to
have been the chief conspirator in the

Berlin, Dec. 11.-Herr Bebel, the So
cialist leader in the Reichstag, today
complained of the enforcement of the
laws against Socialists, inasmuch as, he
claimed the latter only did what was
permitted to other parties.
The speaker then proceeded to inveigh
against the Emperor and was twice in
terrupted by the president of the Reichs-
tag, Baron yon Buel-Berenberg. Herr
Bebel declared that the Socialists had
never been hostile to the unifcation of
Germany and that without the previous
national development the existence of
the Socialists would be impossible.
''Was it likely" he continued, there
fore, that they would desire Germany's.

Columbus, o.. Dee. 12.-Allen 6.
Thurman died at la p m. The death
Of Mr.. Thurman was a painful shock to
the general public here. The latest re-
ports from him before today were to the
effect that he was doing finely. The
Thurman residence is about q mile from
the center of the town, and details were
eagerly awaited. Absolutely no other
information came with the announcement
of the death of the aged stateman, save
that it occurred at 1:15 p. IN.
Judge Thurman had been growing rap
idly worse since last night, and at no
time during the past few hours has his
recovery been hoped for. The immediate
cause of his death was the fall he sus-
tanned some weeks ago, and from the eff
fects of which it was thought he was
partially, at least, recovered. But his

This is looked upon as confession.
The trap fell at 2:10 o'clock and the

by the fact that he lived for several mo-

assembled in the vicinity of the jail.
There was nothing to see except the
grim gray walls and the occasional open

masters have agreed to grant the Clyde
men a shilling week advance immedi-

February.
The strike has also been settled in Bel
fast, where the men will get shilling
advance in February. The settlement
was undoubtedly brought about by the
fact that both Clyde and other ship
building firms were losing important con
tracts to build foreign warships, orders
for which have already been transferred
