RELIGION COUNTS.

General Caldwell Says PresbytSrians Are
for Capital Punishmsnt and gnitarians
Against.
General ]. c. Caldwell of the state
board of pardons says there are about
sixty Shawnee county prisoners in the
state penitentiary, and that very small
per cent of the criminals sent up from
this county apply for pardons.
General Caldwell is of the opinion that
capital punishment ought to be abolish
ed. He says it is amusing to watch how
the lines are drawn whenever = bill of
that kind comes up in Legislature.
He said; A legislature always divides
on religious lines when capital punish
ment is under consideration and the div
ision is always just opposite from what
most people expecr. Orthodox christians
like Presbyterians who believe in punish
ment after death are for capital punish

THEY PUNISHED HIM.
Santa Fe Round House Men Call
Up John Purcell.
FOR THE CRIME OF DESERTIOH

And Present Him With Diamonds
md solid Gold Keepsakes-Other
Railroad News.
As tokens of good will and remem-
brances of his Topeka associations Mr..
John Purcell. formerly foreman of the
Santa Fee round house in this city, re-
ceived last night from the employees over
whom he has had charge for the past
two years, a handsome solid gold dia-
mond set ring and a solid gold double
link watch chain with engraved locket
attached set with solitaire diamond.
The presentation was made in the
round house at o'block last evening in
the presence of the engineers, firemen
and round house employees, and was a sur
prise to Mr.. Purcell.
He was informed by one of the fremen
that an engine had blown up in the yards,
and that the engineer and fireman lay
dying in the round house, and he imme
diately left his work of finishing reports,
preparatory to his departure, on which
he was engaged in Master Mechanic
Smiths Office, and hurried to the round
house.
There, instead of finding dying engi-
neers and fremen, he found a crowd of
very live ones, who quickly and silently
surrounded him.
Engineer ii. Il. Rust then stepped up
to Mr.. Purcell and on the part OF all the
employees made the presentation speech.
He told him that the crime of which he
was accused was the crime of desertion,
and that the men had assembled to
severely reprimand him for his action.
That in view of the fact that he had
served faithfully and honorably in the
discharge of his duties. listened to their
separate tales of woe with a willing ear,
never referring them to the policeman
on the next beat, and had possessed on
all occasions an unlimited stock of good
nature. they had decided to let him off
with a lighter punishment than his
crime deserved Engineer Rust then
presented Mr.. Purcell with the ring
and chain, and concluded in assur-
ing him that with them
went the heartfelt friendship
and esteem of all the men with whom he
had been associated, and that it was
their sincere hope that when his star of
life should set it would "set like the
morning star in the heavens, at the end
of career which had gained the top
most round of the ladder of life"
Mr.. Purcell was completely overcome,
and as he shook hands with the men one
by one and bid them good bye, his hand
trembled and his voice could not COM
mand its usual steadiness. He leaves
today to assume his new duties as gen.
eral foreman of the Argentine round
house, to which position he was pro-
noted several days ago.

sciousness and died soon after being found
William Libbey was for many years a
member Of the old dry goods house OF A.
T. Stewart & Co., and with that firm
amassed his fortune, which is commonly
supposed TO run into the millions. He re-
tired from the firm about 1880, when its
affairs fell mainly into the hands OF ex-
Judge Henry Hilton and r. j. Denning.
He was always considered one of the
shrewdest and most conservative members
of the firm. Since his retirement from the
dry goods business Mr.. Libbey has not en-
gagged in any commercial pursuits, but de-
voted himself to the care OF his fortune
and the affairs of the various financial in
stitutions with which he was connected
In times OF financial anxiety his counsel
was often sought by the magnates of Wall
street. He leaves a widow and three sons,

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The election in
New York city was fought upon entirely
different lines from that in the State The
fight was between the straight Tammany
ticket on the one side and the fusion &C
Republicans and independents on the other
On account of the various officers voted
for the returns were late coming in, but
Tammanys victory was never in doubt
and it's plurality will probably be between
1s,c00 and $1,000. The city complete, with
the exception OF 1e3 districts, gave Hamil-
ton, fusion. 1854; Purroy. Tammany, 49,

sions, NJ. F. McMahan and Joseph New
berger; justices of City Court, Robert. A.
Wick, John p. Schuchman and Z. F.

county Democratic organization was con-
siderably below 10000 and the good gov
ernment ticket vote will scarcely reach

which makes them the third party in this
city.
Dr. Parkhurst says he is not discouraged
at the result, that great lesson has been
learned and that the committee of fifty
should never have gone into fusion move
ment, although it took what it's members
thought was the best course.
The Republican chairman, Lauterbach,
says the lesson of to-day is that there
will be no more fusion. Fusion is dead
forever" he said, and political politicians
of every faction echo his declaration.
The nearly completed returns show that
Tammany fell behind the vote for the
Democratic State ticket by from 10000 10
