AFTER Mr. PULLMAN.
Chicago Man Under Arrest for
Making Threats Against
the Magnate.
Latter and His Manager So
lected as Victims by
the Crank.
Uncertainty as to Which One
to Kill First Led to
His Arrest.

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-The life Of George
M. Pullman and that Of John B. Crit
fin, the manager of the Pullman build
ing in this city, were menaced by an in
sane man last night. Both men were
to have been shot and killed on or be-
fore the 18th and 9th of this month.
The delay Of the maniac in making up
his mind who should be the first victim
gave the police time to arrest him. The
prisoner is William Sherman, who has
been employed us q window cleaner
around the Pullman building. A
woman fortune teller is at present held
responsible for the suggestion that
placed the lives of Mr.. Pullman and his
manager in jeopardy. -.5
At 5 o'clock word was brought to
Manager Griffin that Sherman, usually
steady, reliable man, was going about
the building making threats to kill him
and Mr.. Pullman. Griffin at once
started out to find the window cleaner,
but he had left the building after re-
peating his threats to several people.
Griffin then sent word to the police and
two officers were sent out to Look for
Sherman. i 81. #..s.sf ~
Got His Tip From Fortune Teller.
After searching for some time they
found him in the freight elevator and
took him into custody. He had no
hesitation in declaring that he intended
to kill either Mr.. Pullman or Mr..
Griffin, or both Of them. He said that
during the afternoon he had consulted
fortune teller because he was unable
to sleep. The woman told him he was
troubled by secret enemies and that un.
less he killed them before Nov. Is or 81
they would kill him. She described the
men to him and the descriptions were
those Of Mr.. Pullman and Mr.. Griffin.
The woman would not tell him the
names of the men unless he paid her
$25. This he declined to do, as he
knew the men by the descriptions, he
said. Sherman said that he would
have killed one of the men during the
afternoon il he could have made up his
mind which one to take first. He was
plainly insane and was removed to the
detention hospital.

PH0EBE'S LOVE LETTERS.
They Make n Very Slim Proof of
Engagement to Fair


ST. LOUIS, April 6.-The correspond
ence between James G. Fair and
Poebe Couzins upon which the lat
ter bases her contention that an en-
gagement Of marriage existed be-
tween her and the millionaire has
been made public. The first intima-
ton Of matrimony. Miss Couzins as

handed her one day by Fair, narrat-
ing the conjugal misery that followed
the wedding of an ideal man and an
ideal woman, the judge who finally
granted them a divorce remarking
the first requirement for an ideal wife
or husband is a wicked partner" The
correspondence began July 27, 1892.
and continued, seemingly, to May 81,
1893. In none of the letters is Fair af-
fectionate, though always courteous.

ne loaned Miss CouZins money and
told her that whenever she needed
help, to call on him. All his letters
are answers to hers, apparently, and
no mention of marriage or love an

His last note to her was written from
the Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago, May
81, 1893, and is signed Most respect
fully" 1t was when, Fair reached
the hotel at that time, Miss Couzins

A COAT OF MANY CoLoRs,

The annual meeting of the Mime
sofa Democratic association in jan
uary ratified the address issued in
December by it's executive commit
tee and directed the new committee
to open correspondence with SIM
liar organizations and leading DEM
ocrats, as well as others, as to the
feasibility Of holding a national con-
Vention of free traders in Chicago

was moved to this by the considera-
ton that the campaign of '92 and
preceding ones had been conducted

mating the policy of protection;
that, finally entrusted with COM
plete control, congress had failed to
do this, but had passed a tariff act
admittedly protective, so much so
that the president refused to ap-
prove it; that the elections had
driven the party from power; that,
aside from the effects of the panic.
this was largely due to the breach
of trust, and that it would be useless
to again ask confidence on pledge
of a policy admitting of such diver

and DR.. Buettner, who were also
obliged to fog women in the colonies,

was refused on the ground that it

tended that Herr Leist was respon-

A PERIOD OF BREAK-Ups.

For some years the signs have been
plenty that indicate the return of
another of those periods of party
disintegration, involving either the
dissolution and disappearance of one
of the political organizations of the
day or the realignment of the men,
bers Of all with the party with which
they find themselves, under the
changed conditions and policies, in
sympathy. The initial point Of this
change may be placed at the mes
sage Of President Cleveland in 1887
which lifted the Democratic party
out of the position of being merely
a factious and querulous, fault-find-
ing organization, and launched it
on crusade for the release of the
people from commercial slavery. It's
check in 1888 was but a temporary
prelude to the victories of 80 and '92,
won by the accessions it received
from Republicans, convinced at
once of the rightfulness of the cause
and the sincerity of the party, as
they were lost in '94 because of the
representatives.
Following came the Peoples or
Populist party, with it's glittering
generalities, its economic will-o'-the-
Wisps, further loosening the sense of
party loyalty that had held men fast
to their former parties, and leaving
them subject to the law Of political
cohesion. The ferment of new ideas
was working in the masses. Demo-
Gratis by habit were discovering that
their sympathies ran with paternal-
ism, as Republicans began to per-
ceive the socialistic trend of their
party with which they could not
square their convictions of govern
mental functions. determinations on
which the two old parties were built
were breaking up.
But, as in the smelling of ore
some fiuX is essential, or in the
blending of metals some common ele-
ment is needed, so when parties are
.dissolving under the heat of new
ideas, some dominant policy the
outgrowth of economic conditions.
is essential to complete the process
resulting either in the formation of
a new party absorbing and displac-
ing an old Une, or the capture of
the old organization, retaining the
name and changing the policy. Had
the representatives of the Democrat
ic party in congress continued. in
stead of abandoning, the crusade in
which their party was enlisted. had
they obeyed the mandate of the CON
vention and the people promptly and
fully, there is no question that the
cohesive laws Of partisan associa-
ton would have given that party
increase and permanency in spite OF
the panic of SO.
But abandoning it's ground gave
opportunity to some new move.

OUT Of WHOLE CLOTH
Was Manufactured the Story That
Gov. Marshall Was GROWING
Worse

" as the story That
Gov. Marshall Was Growinm
Worse.
1t was announced yesterday by an
evening paper that eX-Gov. Marshall
was rapidly sinking, and that his
death would occur shortly. His broth
er-in-law, N. P. Langford, stated last
night that the announcement was a.
surprise to him.
THE statement" said he, seems to
have been manufactured from whole
cloth, or made up of a street rumor.
The last telegram received by the gov
ernor's family here reported that he
was in about the same condition as
before. 1 don't think there is any rea-
son to anticipate fatal termination
of his Illness in the near future. In
response to a letter which was received
over week ago, saying that he feared
he wasn't going to get we'll. his
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Carolyn Mar
shall, started to Pasadena the other
day, and she is now on her way. I

these reports come from. There are no

advantage of it. The after effects
of the panic, the apathy of industry,
the lethargy of enterprise, the
timidity of capital, the shrinkage of
prices, the evaporation of water"
the general discomfort with condi-
lions supplied them with reinforce
ments. The fiux that today is dis
integrating both the Democratic and
Republican parties is silver, and the
question is whether the silver move
ment will eventuate in a new party
with distinctive name, or whether
it will capture one or the other of
the old organizations.
