HE CONFESSES.
Chicago's Famous "short'' Man Acknowl-
edges His Crimes.

Chicago, July Ii. - William, alias
Red" Sullivan, the short man" in
the robbery of the New York Biscuit
company, has confessed. He sat silent
for more than II hours in the "sweat
box" with Chief Badenoch and other
police officials interrogating him, but
at last the strain was too much for
him and he broke down. Not only has
he confessed to participation in the
New York Biscuit company hold-up,
but he also admits that he was the
short man" who figured in Is or Ii
other robberies.
He says it was not his gang that
robbed the Golden Rule dry goods store
in West Madison street, when T. j. Mar
shall, the proprietor, was shot AMI
killed. Persuasion was in vain to make
him confess to the Golden Rule hold
up. He also denies participation in the
robbery of the Metropolitan Elevated
station in Canal street. With these two
exceptions he has confessed to all the
other robberies of business houses.
Sullivan has given the police the names
IF his companions, but it is thought
they have all left the city. The arrest
of Sullivan became known to his col
leagues within two hours from the time
he was locked up.
The famous "short man" is less than
20 years old. The most serious crime
for which he had been in police custody
was the killing of Willie Barrett, n
child. He shot the boy May 90. 1895, in
Elm street because, as he alleged the
child provoked him. Witnesses to the
murder described it as brutal and un-
provoked, but Sullivan, by some hook
or crook, escaped the vengeance of the
law for the deed.
Another member of the gang now in
the hands of the police. who is said to
have made a confession of his crime,
is Douglass Clendenning, son of vii.
liam Clendenning, 4 banker of Montreal
who recently failed.
Five men undertook ii hold-up at the
billiard hall of Edward Helm at 10S
Randolph street shortly after midnight.
The police authorities, however, got
wind of the affair and a force of de-
tectives was in readiness to arrest them,
which they did after a hard struggle,
IN which four of the thieves were badly
used up. The fifth man escaped during
the melee

that New York's democratic machine wilt

Hills plan is understood to be to fight for
the election of gold congressman and for
the throwing of the presidential election
into the house of representatives, where a
successful contest for gold president
would be more probable than with gold

The Illinois gold democrats received a set :.
hack Monday in the announcement OF

the proposition on the ground that n third

Its failure is due to the impossibility

"oLD STATE OF PIKE"

Tho Homo of the Stark Brothers Nur-
series-One of the biggest Institutions
In the worid-Its Trade Extends to
Nearly Every Civilized Nation on Earth.
st. Louis Republic, January 2, 1896.
One of the largest institutions in this State
Is the Stark Bros Nurseries and Orchards
company at Louisiana, Mo-, and Rockport,
III. The trade of the firm extends not only
throughout the United States, Canada, Ger
many, France, Italy, Hungary and other
foreign countries. but 1t has number of GUS
toners both in New Zealand and Australia.
Eighty years ago there came from Ken
lucky to Pike county The late Judge Stark,
then a young man fresh from Old Hickory's
New Orleans campaign. He started the
nursery and planted the first grated Or
chard in the state, having brought the scions
OH horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
TO son, and is now conducted by the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
hrm has more than 1000 travelling solicitors,
and employs more people in its offices than
would be necessary to run large manufac-
turing concern. The extensive packing
houses of the company are adjacent to the
city, connected with the railroad by special
tracks. From these packing houses hun
dreds of carloads of trees are shipped an
nually. The nursery grounds embrace
number of farms convenient to the city. and
even extend to Rockport, Ills, where there
is plant of several million trees.
The popularity of the concern is the
establishment of large orchards. These
orchards in "a states aggregate nearly So,
600 acres, aud more than 3, 100000 trees on
the partnership plan. The firm is also in
terested in about as many more trees on the
cooperative arrangement
Louisiana firms have more travelling men
upon the road for them than any other city
of the world Of its siz This, of course, is
largely due to the large number of men en-
ployed by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who
furnish their men the most cOmDlete, up-t to-
date outfit ever issued. They are increasing
their force of statesmen daily, and room for
more.
