THE McCULLEN MURDER.

John McCullen is dead. A
strong robust man shot down al
most in the presence of his fam
lily. The Coroner is holding an
inquest, and, it must be the de-
sire Of every honest man in the
county that the p%erpetrator of
this ~dastardly deed be brought
to justice.
OF curse we have no know
ledge, and, no intelligent opinion
as to who may the perpetrator of
this great outrage, and, therefore
speak but as a citizen interested
in the welfare Of our people. and
the good name of our County.
Other murders have been COM
mitteed in this county, and, the
criminals have sometimes escap-
ed justice, but this should not
happen again. The authorities
should spare no pains to ferrit
out and punish the man or me
who are responsible for the foul
taking off Of John McCullen.

Dynamite

Washington, July 2.-Train
Nc. As, known as the Chicago ex-
press, eastbound, on the Balti-
more and Ohio Road, ran over
a dynamite cartridge near the
Monocacy bridge, thirty-fve
miles west of this city on the
Metropolital branch, at II a. m.
last night. The cartridge was
exploded and caused the detach-
ment of the air brake pipe in the
rear of the engine. No damage
was done either to the engine or
cars; but a piece of the rail where
the explosive had been placed
was blown away. The train was
Immediately stopped and backed
to the place where the explosion
occurred, but no one was found
in the vicinity. Baltimore and
Ohio officials believe that the in
tention was to wreck and rob a
passenger train; if so. the mis-
creants made a mistake and sell
ected for their operations a
train consisting entirely of ex-
press and freight cars, carrying
neither passengers nor money.
Detectives have been sent to
Monocacy to investigate the af-
fair.
Five arrests of suspects have
been made by the detective de-
partment Cof the Baltimore and
Ohio Company. The parties are
Timothy McCourt. John Falern,
Jesse Wells, VIM. Young and
Harry Johnson. They were taken
into custody during the day at
points along the line charged
with ''trespassing." They were
brought to this city and commit
ted for a hearing July 9th.
They are all rough-looking in
dividuals and it is said that perx
sons closely resembling them
were seen lurking around Mono
cacy prior to the explosion. The
force of the explosion aroused
the country for miles around.

Buchanan Elec+rOcuted.

Sing Sing, N. Y, July DIR.
Buchanan was electrocuted this
morning. The current was turn
ed on at 11.21 o'clock a.. m, L.
74O volts for four seconds, re-
duced to 400 volts, left on for
thirty seconds when it was turn
ed on to LAO volts again and
gradually reduced until it was
turned off ffty-eight seconds af.
ter it was first applied.
Buchanan entered the room
with his eyes closed and did not
open his eyes at all. He walked
along beside the attendant with
out assistance to the chair. His
leg was slightly scorched and
smoked during the last few Sec
onds of the execution. The
body was perfectly motionless
after the current was turned on.
Thirty-two seconds after the
current was turned off Buchanan
was examined by the physicians,
who discovered a slight pulsa-
tion of the heart. The victim
also gasped and the doctors de-
clared that life was not extinct;
the current was again turned On
full, the force of 4.75O volts,
where it was held for twenty
three seconds, when it was again
turned off. Buchanan was dead
at 1928 o'clock a.. 20.
Mrs. Buchanan returned from
Rineclif at 1890 o'clock. She
was met at the depot by an Of
hcer from the prison, She wish
ed to be driven to the prison, but
it was thought best not to allow
this, SO she was driven away and
is supposed to have been taken
to Mrs. Sage's private apart
ments. It is said in her inter-
view with the Governor she
pleaded with him on her knees.
The Governor who was very
much affected, told her that as
far as any assistance he could
render he would gladly do it, but
that he could not possibly pre-
vent the law from taking it's
course,

Expert Testimony Against Fitzsim-
mons.

mons.
Syracuse, N. Y, July 1-Ex-
pert testimony was resumed in
the Fitzsimmons trial for man
slaughter this morning, and DR..
D. M. Tolman was again requir-
ed to state what he considered
the cause of Riordan's death.
Again he swore that it was con-
centrated violence on the mans
jaw. Then the expert was ask
ed if the rlgors and commissions
which Riordan showed on falling
to the stage after Fitzsimmons'
blows were not due to the con-
cussion of the brain and lacera~
ton of the brain tissues. He
said they were due TO those
causes. The laceration at the
base of the brain the physician
considered fatal in itself. The
question as to whether or not a
short, quick, rapid blow, de-
livered by boxing gloves weigh
ing six or ten ounces upon the
jaw of a man, is likely to pro.
duce sever bodily injury, was
objected to and the objection sus.
tanned, a victory for the defense.
