MURDERER GENTRY ARRESTED.
Found Lying Unconscieus on . Doorstep
from Self Inhicted Wounds.


from Self Inhicted Wounds.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. e0.-James b. Gem
try, the murderer Of Madgo Yorke the
actress, was found unconscious on door
step at Thirty third and Columbia avenue
shortly before o'clock this morning. A
patrol wagon was summoned, and he was
taken to the German hospital, where he
soon afterwards regained consciousness,
disclosed his identity, and acknowledged
himself the murderer.
An examination by physicians revealed
two incised wounds, penetrating the lungs.
Gentry explained these by saying that he
had attemptedto commit suicide by stab
bling himself with a penknife, but the
knife broke or he would have persisted in
his attempt. he had 90 on his person, but
said he had had nothing to eat for two days
except snow. because he was afraid to go
anywhere. He had been wandering about
the park since Sunday night, and had
fallen in the corner where was found from
sheer exhaustion.
Gentry is also suffering from a com
pound fracture of the skull, and is Sc
verely bruised and wounded. These in
juries, he says, he got in jumping from
the fire escape in the rear Of Zelsse's hotel
after the commission OF the crime. The
physicians at the hospital say that he is in
u very dangerous condition.
In one of his pockets were found two tel
egrams, signed "Madge." One Of these
said: "Will meet you in New York; unable
to come today on account Of rehearsal"
The other told him that she would be in
Chester, Pa, on the 14th inst, and In Phil
ndelphia on tho 18th. Both were signed;
with love- Madgen

The fight waged by the two reform organ
izatiopS-the Municipal League and the
Citizens Committee OF Ninety fvs--was
directed against the councilmen whose
records justified their turning down"
The most sanguine of the Republican
leaders did not hope for majority higher

iidoht that ne would be elected by about

faction opposed 70 the leadership OF Ma
tional Chairman Harrity-cut Pattison is
indicated by the fact that the Twelfth
ward, which usually goes Democratic,
gave Warwick 400 majority.
The Municipal league made strenuous
effort to prevent fraud and had watchers
employed in nearly every one Of the al
most 1000 divisions in the city. It also
notified every election officer that any one

the polls closed would be prosecuted and
sent to Jail. In come divisions 1t has been
the practice TO prepare the returns early in
the day, giving whatever majority mar
be mutually agreed upon, without tn
vote usually cast
The returns came in very slowly, but In
fifteen wards out of the thirty seven there
was a majority Of $4,000 for Warwick
These same wards gave Hastings IS, 900
over SinFerly in the late gubernatoria
election, when the total municipal major.
ity was 5000.
The greatest interest was manifested In
this election, rs 1t long since assumed the
shape of desperate fight against the Re
publican combine" headed by David
Martin and Senator Charles A. Porter
The throwing down" by these leaders Of
Senator Penrose jus. before the conven-
tion, at which 1t was generally supposed he
would be nominated, created a great deal
of diGaffection among Republicans, and
led to the open breach between Senator
Quay and the leaders OF the "ccmbipe"
From that time 1t was thought that Caay
would give his support to Mr.. Pattison,

WASHINGTON, Fob. 90. The house and

amendment is to repeal the law providing
