NEW YORK, Sept. pa special to the
World from Atlantic City, N. j., says: A
bold attempt at highway robbery occurred in
broad daylight here today and the victim was

see avenue, one of the most Travelled thor
oughfares of the city. There were score or
more of pedestrians within sight. Mr.. But
terworth had been taking drive and ex-
hibited a large roll of bills while paying the
driver. He then entered a saloon, and, on
emerging the cabman, whose name is Deck
er, solicited him to again use his cab. This
he did, but when he entered the carriage he
was struck stunning blow in the face and
cts. Mr. Butterworth made desperate strug-
gle and finally onlookers rescued him.

Cheered the Incident.


LONDON, Sept. 21.-A dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Vienna says: 1t
is reported that as Emperor William
and Emperor Francis were leaving the
station at Budapest sharp detonation
was heard, which was followed by a
thick cloud of dust and smoke The
crowd took fright, broke the military
Gordon and swarmed around the i'm
perial carriages. Emperor Francis 4Jo-
seph was greatly agitated and shouted
to the police to keep the people back
Some arrests are reported, but owing
to the silence maintained by the of
ficials, it is difficult to ascertain the
details Of the affair.
The Neue Wiener Journal was con-
fiscated this evening for publishing
kilograms as to the occurrence.
BUDAPEST, Sept 20. Emperor
William, of Germany, arrived here at
10 o'clock this morning and was well
coined by Emperor Francis Joseph, the
cabinet ministers and the civil and mil
itary authorities. The approach of the
imperial train was heralded by salute
of twenty-four guns, and when it
steamed into the railroad station all
those present on the platform loudly
cheered his majesty, and the band
played Hell der Kaiser The Aus
trian emperor wore the uniform of a
Prussian field marshal and the ribbon
of the Black Eagle. The German ruler
wore the uniform of an Austrian hus-
sar regiment and the grand cross of
st. Stephen. When the. two sovereigns
first met they kissed each other twice.
The carriage which conveyed them
from the railroad station to the castle
was drawn by five horses, ridden by
postillions. AS their majesties drove
off there were loud shouts of ELLEN
mir gled with the thunder of the artil-
lery salute. the music of the bands,
the roll of drums and bugle salutes.
The decorations were especially bril-.
liant at the entrance of Kerepes street,
in Franz Josef square, where a statue
had been erected personifying Hun
gary and having in one hand an olive
branch extended toward the imperial
visitor The enthusiasm of the people
visibly pleased the monarchs, and En-
peror William showed signs of the
greatest satisfaction.
Emperor Francis Joseph met the
German emperor at the door of the
saloon carriage, and after cordial
greetings had been exchanged the two
emperors passed In front of the guard
of honor. Emperor William greeted
the Austrian archdukes when this
ceremony was concluded and also
shook hands with the state ,dignitaries.
Then the monarchs, heartily cheered
by the crowds about the depot, entered
a court equipage and drove to the
castle, the archdukes and ministers
following.
The city is profusely decorated in
honor of the meeting of the emperors.
The German emperor later bestowed
the grand Gordon of the Prussian
Crown upon the son. of Count An
Grassy. .

officers. An impatient mob also throng-
ed the corridors and hammered relent-
lessly at the doors of both courtroom
and antercom. But Sheriff Whelan and
his men We're on hand, and the rush was
successfully stopped when no more
could gam admission TO the courtroom.
Judge l3ahrer called upon Durrant to
stand AZ the bar. The young murderer
stood UP, and then his marvellous self
control asserted itself He was deadly
pale, but calm and self possessed.
The defendants attorneys entered the
technical objections to the proceedings,
but the judge overruled them and pro-
nounced judgment slowly and impress
lively. ordering that the defendant be
hanged on Friday, Nov. l2. between the
hours of sunrise and noon.
As the words Friday. Nov. -" left
the judges lips, a murmur ran through
the room. Women hid their faces while
the men craned their necks TO see how
Durrant would take It. He expected IT,.
He never hinched. As the date of his
doom was pronounced, just the suspi-
cion of a sneer appeared in the corners
of his mouth.
When all was over. and the officials
began to clear the courtroom. he re-
sunied his seat and chatted unconcern-
edly with his father and some sympa-
thizing friends After the mob dispersed

REMARKABLE CORN FIELD.
Former Bed of Lake Produces .OI
bushels TO The Acre

Former Red OF Lake Produces .On
bushels TO the Acre.
Prof. Thomas l.. Cox. who recently
returned from Morrilton, says crops are
unusually good in that vicinity. and
prosperity is knocking at the door OF
every citizen. He says there is one
cornfeld near Morrilton that will pro-
duce 200 bushels TO the acre. This.
says the Little Rock (Ark.) Democrat.
is a remarkable statement. and yet be
declares that it is true. Until n year
or so ago there was lake near Morril-
ton covering about 10000 acres. When
the big floods came two years ago. an
opening was made by the surging wa
ters which carried off all the water of
this lake when the floods subsidized. The
bed of the lake dried up and left the
richest soil the world ever saw. IL is
ten feet deep. and nothing the River
Nile ever produced could excel it. This
year Mills and Haley have crop of
corn on about 1000 acres Of this land
They sowed the corn broadcast like
wheat. and the stalks are as strong as
saplings. and scores of Shoots" are
also loaded down. 1T Is the most re-
