MURDERERs GAVE WAY.
They Moaned PiteOusly Before Going
to the ScnfROld.

to the ScnffOld.
ST. THOMAS, Ont, June 1S.-John Hen
dershott and W. B. Welter, convicted at
dershott, were hanged here this morning.
The drop fell at S:15.
While the deputies We're preparing the
condemned men for the gallcws the latter
moaned piteously, their cries being dis
tinctly audible to those waiting outside.
During the short walk to the gallows Hen
dershott faltered and would have fallen
had not the turnkey supported him. When
on the scaffold Weltcr made a supreme eff
fort to appear brave. Recognizing an ac-
quaintauce in the crowd, he called out:
Hello, Doc; goodbye" The lever was
drawn, and the two men disappeared
through the scaffold opening. Fifteen min
utes afterward their bodies were cut down.
Rev. DIR. Spencer, who attended them,
stated that Weiter and HenGershott had
confessed to the murder of William Hen
dershott, but the particulars he would not
divulge.
John Hendershott was the uncle and
Welter was the cousin of William Hender-
shott, the man for whose murder the two
were hanged. The crime was committed
December II, 1884, the OBJECT icing to real
ize upon insurance which the uncle had
placed upon the life of his nephew. John
Hendershott is alleged to have planned the
murder, which Welter committed while he
and his cousin We're alone telling trees.
The evidence upon which conviction was
obtained was purely circumstantial. Every
effort was made to secure q reprieve for
the condemned. Legal briefs were submit
ted to the dominion cabinet, and Hender-
shott's daughter personally pleaded in vain
before the minister of justice for her
father and cousin, to whom she was be-

CONTESTED ELECTION CASES,
Why 1t is Thought They Should Be
Decided by the Courts.

Representatives elect S. S. Kirkpatrick of
Kansas believes that contests over cleo
tion cases should be decided by the courts
of the states in which these elections oc-
Cured. Mr.. Kirkpatrick is a republican,
and was elected by a round majority over
his populist competitor, and has no per-
sonal interest in any election case. and con-
sequently speaks from a disinterested
standpoint.
From reading Of the way the House Of
Representatives decides contested election
cases." said Mr. Kirkpatrick to a Star re-
porter today, II have come to the con-
clusion that such cases are frequently de-
cided on party lines and without due re-
gard TO the equities of the cases. OF
course, it is great temptation to any
party that might be in control of the
House to seize upon a chance to increase
it's majority. For myself, l would not
hesitate to vote for any man who 1
thought had been elected whether his
being seated in the House was favorable
or unfavorable to my party. Such cases
are too serious to be Influenced by party
considerations.
There is no branch of our government
that is so far removed from political in
fluences as our courts Contested election
cases should be tried in these courts locat-
ed where the elections took place and
where witnesses may be called The courts
should be given power to summons wit
nesseS to testify in such matters I think
this question should be taken up by the
next Congress and decided once for all. 1
am inclined to think that this plan would
be approved by the members.

SOUTH CAROLINA CASES.
Interesting Questions to BE Decided
by the Supreme Court.

The South Carolina railroad cases, which
have attracted general attention during the
PAST three years, have reached the United
States Supreme Court. They are brought
to this tribunal at the instance of the state
on an appeal from a decision of Judge
Simonton of the United States circuit court
for the district of South Carolina allowing
certain counsel fees, on the ground that
his court WAS without Jurisdiction. There
are several of the cases, but the most i'm
portant Of tn I'm, and the one upon which
all hinge, is that of the state of South
Carolina vs. The Port Royal and Augusta
Railroad Company. The record Is very
voluminous document, but the gist of the
complaint as made by the state is that the
Port Royal road, which has been part of
the Central railroad system of Georgia
since 1881, has been run in the interest of
that company to such an extent as to bank
rUpt the Port Royal line and do great in
jury to certain South Carolina interests,
which the road, as originally chartered,
was intended to subserve. 1t is asserted
for instance, that whereas the road while
under Independent management made con-
tracts advantageous to its interests with
other railroad companies, maintained it's
CWn line of steamers and built docks
wharvcs and grain elevators at Port Royal
II Is now conducted SO as to keep it at
the lowest state of life compatible with
existence at all. 1t is also asserted in the
bill of complaint that the business of the
road has been diverted, the elevators and
wharyes dismantied, and that one purpose
OF this proceeding has been to build up the
line of steamers owned by the Georgia
company running out Of Savannah to Bos-
ten and New York. 1t is also shown that
the Georgia system Is in the hands of
receiver who, as appointed, has also con-
trol OF the South Carolina road. This is
state OF affairs alleged to be Illegal. Hence
the effort is to have the receiver ousted
and the independence of the Port Royal
road re-establshed Failing to secure this
result, the state asks to have the road de-
prived of its charters.

grain of salt by the politicians.


He said: "Mr. Harrison does not want
the presidency. He has so expressed him
self great many times, and he has very
recently made the same statement to me-
He is very busy man. In fact do not
suppose there is man in the state of In
diana who has more to attend to than Mr.
Harrison. There is nothing in the talk that
he is unfit, physically, to hold the Office
as he is very robust man and is in the
best of health. He feels that he could
not quit the Office with any more honor and
credit than he did the last time, and he
does not like the idea of going back. AS
mortality was high in the cabinet while
he was in office the thought of going back
to the White House is dstasteful to him.
l will not say that he will or will not ac-
cept the nomination, but he does not want
it. Indiana wants to honor him as they
have honored him, and the state will not
commit itself to any candidate until the
Harrison question is fully disposed of. In
this present convention We will have
full delegation, both from the regular dele
gates and from the college club.
