being noted I'm the Grangsrs and rail-
ways generally owing TO lower cables

lived, however and soon after IL o'clock
the trading became animated, and under
a good inquiry for both accounts prices
moved up rapidly. There was n mate
rial increase I'm outside orders, and COM
mission firms felt more confident than
OF late The demand was well distri-
buted. and even the chronic bears We're
compelled at the close TO confess that
the market looked better than at any
time for a year or so past. Some OF the
big bears changed their position on the
market, and their purchases had con-

HIUTINEERS HANGED.
Thomas St. Clair and Hans hansen
Suffer Death in San Francisco.

Thomas St. Clair and Hans Hansen
Suffer Death in San Francisco.
San Francisco, Oct. 20.-Thomas st.
Clair and Hans Hansen We're hanged
to-day for murder on the high seas.
They killed Mate Fitzgerald, of the
bark Hesper, and threw his body over
board. The story Of the murder and
mutiny on the Hesper reads like an
old time pirate story. The bark Hes
per sailed from Newcastle, N. S. w.,
on Dec. %, 1892, bound for Honolulu.
Thomas St. Clair, Hans Hansen, Her.
man Sparf and others were members
of the crew. st. Clair planned a mu-
tiny and the others joined in the con-
spiracy. They planned that they should
at night seize the vessel, after murder
ing it's officers, and sail to Chile and
engage in the coastwise trade. 1t was
decided to kill the officers, beginning
with Morris Fitzgerald, the second
mate, who was not popular The 9th
er officers were to follow him to Davy
Jones' locker by the same route. The
night Of Jan. - was selected for the
disposal Of the officers. The starboard
watch was otherwise made up of ST..
Clair. Hans Hansen and Herman
Sparf. There were others in the con-
spiracy, but the case against them
was less strong than against the three
named and they We're used as wit
nesses by the government.
The murder of fitzgerald was ac-
complished according to PROGRAMME
The rest of the plot was not carried
out, and the men were arrested when
the ship reached San Francisco.

PROTECTION OF THE STATE
Asked of Gov. ClouEh by Jacob
Freund.

Asked of Gov. Clough by Jacob
Freund.
st. Paul. Oct. 22.-Jacob Freund, an
elderly and wealthy resident of Blue
Marth City, Faribault county, has ap-
piled to Gov. Clough for police protec-
tion. He tells weird story in q pc
tition to the governor, of alleged perse-
cution at the hands of reputable citi-
kens of Blue Earth City. He goes so
far as to claim that they have twice
tried to kill him, and failing, have
made three attempts to cause not only
his death, but that of his family, by
setting fire to his home. He asserts
that the authorities of Blue Eart!
City turn a deaf ear to his appeals for
protection and, fearing that he will be
murdered, he asks Gov. Clough to
intercede in his behalf From the ALE
cations contained in Mr.. Freund's pc
tition, it appears that he claims he is
being made the victim of secret Or
ganization, composed Of twenty-one
persons, who, he alleges, have sworn
to take his life. Whether or not this
is true, it, nevertheless, appears that
Mr. Freund's life has been made mis-
cradle by systematic persecution ever
since last spring. Mr.. Freund is be-
ing prosecuted BECAUSE it is alleged,
he caused the death of a young woman
at Blue Earth City and has since been
released on bail and stands a chance
of being acquitted Of the terrible
charge preferred against him. ~. .

WIFE MURDER.


Sebastian Kills His Wife-Married
in Winona Thirteen Years Ago.
Great Falls, Mont, Oct. 20.-John
Sebastian, ha1f-English, half-Spanish,
walked into the county Jail this morn
ing and gave himself up for the MUIR
der of his wife. He came in from
Flathead last night with his brother
and went to the house of Mrs. Hoff-
man, on the river bank, where his wife
was working, entered and asked for
some guns in her possession She said
if he would give up her clothing, she
would, whereupon he raised a 4S-cali-
Der Winchester he carried with him
and shot her through the side. The
muZzle of the gun was within two feet
of her, and the ball passed through
her body, carrying some cloth with it,
and striking the wall beyond.
Mrs. Sebastian rose from her chair
and went to another room, falling dead
on the floor. AS she rose, Sebastian
raised his gun to fire again, when Mrs
Hoffman, with a child in her arms,
grabbed it and threw it up. The Sc,
bastians We're married thirteen years
ago at Winona, Mimi, but quarreled
year ago and have lived apart since
They have no children and are aged
about thirty-tive years.

An Important Witness in the Dur

San Francisco, Oct. 22.-The prose-
cution in the trial of w. H. T. Durrant
has found q witness who will testify
that everything was. not right in
Emanuel church prior to the murder OF
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams.
This witness is I colored bootblack
named Cudd Wilson. Last night when
he was served with a subpoena he
told his story to Detective Seymour
II know King and Durrant so we'll
that they talked freely with me-" said
he. AT first I was surprised that
such religious young men should be
carrying on in such fashion, but af-
ter awhile I concluded they were
about the same as other young men.
learned from those two boys them
selves that they were taking girls to
the church every night. I often heard
