A BUTCHERS JOKE
It Nearly Cost Walter Mohn
His Young Life.
"IIL CUT YOUR HEAD OFFo
And Lilienthal slashed at the Boy
With Big Knife, Cut
ting His Throat.
PLL CUT YOUR HEAD OFF,

Max Lilienthal, a butcher and grocer
of Fourteenth and Garden streets, Hobo
KEN came very near cutting boys head
off last night as joke. The boy is Wal
ter Mohn, Of No. Isl Fourteenth street,
and he now lies at his home with a cash
extending from under his right ear half
way to the front of his neck. The cut was
the result of criminal foolhardiness on
Lilienthals part.
Last night young Mohn was sent by
his father to the butcher shop to buy
some meat As the little fellow stood in
front of the cutting block Lilienthal took
up one of his keen-edgea butcher knives
and began sharpening it on the stone with
the peculiar swing that butchers have.
Suddenly LiEenthal seeing that the boy
was eyeing him intently, thought he
would frighten Mohn and said. .sIll cut
your head off, At the same time he made
a slash with the knife at the boys neck.
Mohn jumped to one side in alarm and
the cleaning blade struck him in the
neekNnder the ear. Luckily the blow was
a glancing one, or the boys throat would
have been gashed from ear to ear. The
cut was long, but not deep The blood
gushed forth and young Mohn was soon
in state of collapse.
Lilienthal did all ne could to repair the
injury his earelessness mad caused. and
was nearly erazed with fright, thinking
the poy would bleed to death. A doctor
was hurriedly summoned. He found that
no large arteries had been cut, but pro-
nounced the boys escape a wonderful
one he stopped the flow of blood and
ordered the boys removal to his home
The father of young lMohn was much
enrased and later in the evening he called.
at Police Headquarters and announced
his intention of having L;lienthal arrest
ed Sergeant Hammond advised Mohn to.
see the Recorder and get a warrant The
Recorder was not present and AIohn left
saying he would see the magistrate in
the morning. He has made no complaint
as yet He said this morning that the boy
was resting easily, but very weak from
loss of blood
Lilienthal said he did the thing as a
Joke, and never intended to harm Mohr
He 1niscalculated the distance, and ~

in contact with Mohn's throat

NO HOPE FOR BRYAN.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Sept o. 1896
Hon. James H. Eckels. Comptroller of
the Currency, arrived here last night with
his wife and daughter for a few days
In the course of conversation with a
reporter of the United Associated Presses
Mr.. Eekels says he believes Bryan viii
be beaten in every State carved out Of
Iowa and that the chances are against
him in Kansas and Nebraska, while in
every Southern State where the negro
question is not considered his chances are
hardly more than even.
However" SAID Mr.. Eckels, 'tthe work
of the sound money forces should go
steadily on. The defeat of free silver and
kindred financial hereses should be so
marked that the country will not be both

is that if the country were well rid of
false monetary schemes, there would come
to our people an era of hitherto unknown

WHY GOLD WILL WIN.
The Independent Vote Favors IT
States sure for m,KIuiev

BOSTON, MASS, Sept. %, 1s96.--George
H. Lyman, Chairman of the Republican
State Committee of Massachusetts. and a
member of the Republican National Com
mittee, in statement of his views on
the political outlook says:
Il feel absolutely certain that Major
Mckinley will be elected. The free sill
yer movement is on the decline. and this
cannot be stopped. The movement was al
its climax in August, and Bryan came
on the crest OF wave which has turned
INTO harmless spray by the fiasco in
New YORK. That wave will never be re-
formed: 1t may be that my Judgment is
aHected by the prevailing sentiment in
me East, but | think can give logical
reasons for my forecast of the result
Previous TO 1860 it will be remembered
that the Democrats had governed the
country for many, years. They had held
all the offices and nearly all fhe leadfng
men of all communities were Democrats
When the party was divided and Lincoln
was elected, each wing of the Democratic
party expected to carry the country, and
fought from that point of view. Now
the situation is very different. One wing
OF the Democratic party is determined
TO dlrectly or indirectly help the Re-
publican party to defeat the other wing.
The total vote in a national election Is
ABOUT twelve million; six million of Re-
publicans and six millions of Democrats
The election is usually decided by the
llioCPcAucAl SOlcTS. Twice the last
twelve years they have voted for and
decided d; the election of Grover Cleveland.
Eight years ago they, voted for Benjamin
Harrison and helped to elect him T
think impartial men of ali parties will
agree with me that the independent vot-
ers are unanimously for Major Mckinley
in this campaign.
II feel pretty certain that Major Nc
kinley will carry these States: Maine, s.:
New Hampshire, 4; Vermont, 4; Mass,
achusetts, Is; Rhode Island, 4; Connecti-
cut, 8; Indiana, Is; Illinois, "a; West Vir-
ginia, 6; New York, SO; New Jersey, 10:
Delaware, 3; Ohio, %; wisconsin, y;
Minnesota, 8; Iowa, 13; Miehigan' Il:
Pennsylvania, 80. Total, 23s.
1T requires 224 votes to elect, and it
VIII pc seen that | have made very con-
seryatiye estimate. / might reasona hlv
include Kentucky, Virginia California.
Maryland and Louisiana, but our chances
in those States will more than offset any
possible loss in any of the Western list.
! firmly believe that we shall have a
total electoral vote greater than the ag-
gregate of all the States which / named.
| am one of those who believe that it will
be a Landslide - = -
