JULIUS MANNOW EXECUTED.
Pays the Death Penalty for the Murder
and Robbery of Chicago
Cashier

CHICAGO. ILL, Oct. 80. - julius Man
now was hanged at noon to-day. Both
the crimes for which he was punished
and his trial were of sensational char
acter.
On the night of June 25 1895, Mannow
and Joseph Windrath, both wearing
masks, entered the West Chicago STREET,
railway barns and demanded of the
cashier, Carey B.. Birch, the money in his
charge Birch reached for a revolver,
when Wlndrath fired four shots and Man
now one, with fatal effect.
Selling bundle of currency containing
S160 the murderers escaped, but were later
arrested on information given by woman
who lived in the same house with them
and had overheard the men plotting.
The trial OF Windrath and Mannow
was most exciting, several plots for their
liberation being revealed and extraordi-
nary precautions being taken to prevent
the success of these schemes. ManDow at
length pleaded guilty and made full
confession, and on his evidence both men
were convicted. Windrath was hanged
last June, but sentence on Mannow was
deferred. When later he was sentenced
he feigned insanity aid secured re-
prieve, but his sanity being determined,
be was finally doomed TO die to-day.

ST. LOUIS, No., Oct. 30.-The Palmer
Buckner special train arrived this morn
ing at o'clock. Bombs and bells pro-
claimed the arrival, and a large crowd
gathered around the platform near the
depot, where a ten-minute speech was
made by General Buckner, amid much in
terruption by Bryan adherents. Stops
were made at various points between
Hannibal and Sedalia. Large crowds
Assem- bled at each station. The greeting
was at several points wanting in proper
respect, and cheers for Bryan were given
everywhere. At Paris a soldier who had
served under Buckner at Donalsonville
shook hands with his old general, saying,
~ surrendered under you once, general,
but / won't do it again.
AT Fayetteville the shouts for free silver
were so furious and long-continued that
attempts 10 speak were abandoned. A
large crowd assembled at Jefferson City at
3 O'Clock this afternoon. where the prin-
cipal stop of the day was made. Special
trains from outlying towns brought in
many people. Both generals will meet
again in st. Louis tomorrow morning.

tor Butler, chairman of the National
Populist Committee, returned to WASH
ington this evening from his trip to In
diana And Illinois. He said to reporter
for the United Associated Presses that he
found things politically better than even
on his previous trip to Chicago fort
night ago.
Indiana and Illinois, Michigan and
Minnesota" he said, "are sure to- go for
Bryan, and think Ohio is back in the
doubtful colnmn, with the chances OF
Democratic victory"
The Senator said he was in Chicago one
night while Bryan. was there, but the
crush about the candidate wherever he
went was so great that he did not attempt
to see him. '!He had only one meeting IN
the'city and that lasted all the time he
was there" said Mr.. Butler. Although L
did not see Mr.. Bryan, heard from him
and know he was looking and feeling well.
1 know nothing about his fainting or col
lapsing to any degree at one OF his
speeches in Chicago. and do not believe
the story to be well founded"
The Senator said again that he did not
intend to make Mr.. Watson's famous let

BoMrhe Cochran Speaks to Brooklyn
Sound Money! Men.


BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. 3d. Under the
auspices of the Manufacturers Associa-
ton of Kings and Queens counties the
Hon. Bourke Cochran in the Academy of
Music tonight spoke on "Good Govern
ment and Sound Money and was given
an ovation. The. building was packed to
its utmost capacity. After discussing the
financial question at length, Mr.. Cochran
said:
We will face this danger of Populism as we
have faced the danger of secession We will
no more surrender our honest system of money
than we are willing to allow the slave power
TO dominate the United States. The men who
to-day massed behind this requisite pro-
gramme are the men who attacked every form
OF society; they attack erything on which
civil society depends. The Supreme Court,
which fnuerprets the law, the executive that
enforces it, are both equally the objects OF It's
animadyers1on.
Nothing which the American people have
given to the world, no fruit of Republican in
the power of all men to attack the rights of
the citizen, is barred by the Supreme Court
when itstranseends the points which the con-
stitutIon declares to be the limit OF Govern
mental power. Alone among the nations. of
the earth we have given TO civilization this
system. which has proved itself a bulwark
and the defense of Democratic institutions
The Populist raves against it, raises his
hand to destroy it. criticizes it everywhere,
seeks to provoke againstit the animosities of
the vast majority OF the people.
In 1861 this Government was subjected to
strain from which few men Believed it would
ever recover. Yet the question of 1861 was
merely the extent of the jurisdiction to be
recognized in the Federal Government.
l have 10 fear OF the manner in which the
answer shall be made. If the only question
before this people were the defeat of Mr.. Bryan
1 would not be here tonight, for that is ac-
complished alreadys l am glad this issue has
arisen, want to see the answer TO the ques-
tions of the hour made so emphatic thar it will
be long before American patriotism again re-
ceiyes an audacious challenge.

cordingly run ahead of time and reached
here at 80 o'clock.

was able to leave at $50 over the Illinois
Central to carry out his Iowa programme.
In the Gymnasium a standing audience

ROTH SIDES MAKE CLAIMS.
But 1t Seems That Old Missouri rs for
Mckinley.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Oct. 30.-There was a
tendency to "claim everything around
the State headquarters of both parties to-
day. Secretary Griffin of the Republican
committee said: I'VE will carry Missouri
for Mckinley. A careful poll of the State
shows gains in almost every county"
Charles Smith, private secretary to the
Republican National Committee, and r.
G. Kerens have completed poll of the
State, and aver that Missouri will give
Mckinley $4,000 majority.
These predictions and estimates were
shown to Secretary Love of the Demo-
cratic committee: Claiming Missouri
for Mckinley by 5s00O," said he. sis ridic-
ulous. We stand by the poll as made
some days ago. That showed Democratic
gains everywhere except in ST. Louis and
Kansas City, and in the latter city we .ex-
pect to at least hold our own if we do not
make gains"

Destructive Ability of the White ANITA
Of the East
The excavations of the so-called
white ant of the east are remarkable
from the fact that they are made in
many instances under cover. says the
San Francisco Examiner. The insects
build or excavate long tunnels, enter
the building from below, and. instead
Of climbing q table, after the bold and
open fashion Of ordinary ants, they be-
gin beneath the leg and ezcavate a
tunnel. How much labor this entails
can be imagined by boring a hole up
through a table with a gimlet: yet a
tunnel is not only made by these
marauding insects but the table is COM
pletely followed out. Probably the
most remarkable instance Of the work
of these insects was seen in Ceylon
some years ago and reported to the
British government by Col. James
Campbell OF the 5Oth regiment He was
sitting one afternoon in an old Dutch
hoEse conveTsing with some ladies and
gentlemen when a loud roar was heard
and the house literally fell about them.
TO their amazement they sat uninjured,
surrounded by the wreck of the build
ing with the blue sky above them.
They scrambled out through the clouds
of dust ana found that their escape was
little less than a miracle, Other parts
Of the building fell in with such crash
that the noise was heard all over
Colombo, and people ran to the wreck
from every direction. Examination
showed that the building had been
completely undermined by these won
derful workers: the timbers had been
followed out and nothing but she'll left
to support the roof, which finally fell,
leaving the wreck as a monument TO

Railroad building in this country
seems to have reached and passed the
highest point Of activity. That is. the
inference from the figures of the past
year, as compared with previous years,
and seems to be the conclusion reached
by railroad experts. In 1894 only 1850
miles of new railroads were built, and
this was commented on a year ago as
being about the lowest record likely to
be touched. but during last year only
1.428 miles of new roads we're built 1t
was argued a year ago that unfavorable
economic conditions had much to do
with the limited railroad extension, but
there seems to be a general opinion this
year, based on the conditions the coun-
try over, that the extension Of railroads
in the future VIII be small as compared
with the past
