SOUVENIR HUNTERS.
Judge Tuthill's Court Room the Scene of
Vandalism That Has No Parallel.


Vandalism That Has No Parallel.
CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-The court room of
Judge Tuthill, before whom the Luet-
CERT case was tried, is the scene of van
dalism that has no parallel in the an
nails of sensational trials. Certain of
the spectators took advantage of the
absence of the bailiffs and Clerk Tanch
and seized on every portable article of
stationery. Sections of the improvised
desks used by newspaper reporters
during the tedious ordeal were even
carried off by the morbid crowd. Fear
ing that the relic hunters would grow
desperate and demolished the fixtures
policeman was detailed inside the
bar. The few ornaments which re-
NAMED after the chamber had been
abandoned were hastily removed across
the hallway The gavel which
Judge Tuthill has welded 70
keep the feminine section of
the attendance seated has disappeared.
Clerk Tancb has hoped to secure the
rosewood mallet, with an autograph of
the presiding Judge on the handle, for
his club. and was sorely disappointed.
| So bare was Judge Tuthill's desk of
court materials that. had the jury re-
turned. he would have had to send to a
neighboring drugstore for paper and
writing apparatus.
During n temporary absence of the
! judge and clerk, the bailitfs at the
door relaxed their vigilance and went
to room above the jury's quarters.
While they were gone the sections of
the long wooden writing benches were
removed. These were cut into squares
of II foot, so that they might be hidden
under an overcoat without exciting
suspicion should any of the wardens
be encountered.

Attorney General Taylor, of Ken.
tucky, now visiting Washington,
thinks republican prospects in that
State are bright. OF the present situ-
ations he said: The democrats are
split into two factions mutually en-
bittered, and each bent on downing
the other. The populists who voted
for Bryan to a man last year have q
ticket Of their own, and do not pro-
pose to give the free silver democratic
nominee vote, claiming that in re-
turn for their allegiance to Bryan in
'96 it is only fair for the democrats to
support the populist candidate this
year. Mr.. Bryan, himself, who has
been imported into Kentucky to aid
his party, is making no inroads on the
populist vote. Ny belief is that the
repu blicans will carry the State. Bry-
anism will be beaten good and hard,
but it will not put the gold democrats
in a position to get control of the
State. They can never win over the
adherents Of the Chicago platform for
these men rather than return under
the domina ton of Carlisle, Watterson,
and Buckner will tumble oyer each
other in a rush to populism."

vorable to Spain. The minister is further

An Old Woman and Her Grandson the
Victims of Burglarious Tramps.

Special to the Register.
Cumberland, Md, November 30.-A
horrible crime was committed in the
lower end of this county Sunday night.
Mrs. Cornelia Norris lived on a farm
with her grandson, aged ten, remote
from any neighbors. Sunday night
robbers entered the house, and after
vainly trying to make the woman give
up her money, crushed in her skull,
tied her hands and feet, and threw her
on a hot cooking stove. The boys
skull was also crushed in. The char
red body of the woman was found on
the stove, which had dropped tC the
cellar, as the robbers burned the
house down. The boy lay dead on the
cellar floor. The woman, who was
miserly had money in the house, also
$1,000 in bank, but it was reported she
kept all the money in the house. She
was 65 years old. Officers have gone
to the scene. It is thought to nave
been the work of tramps.

Washington, D. c., November 80
Hon. N. B. Scott, of Wheeling, who
wants to be Internal Revenue Commits
siOner, and Geo. NJ. Bowers, of Martins
burg, who wants TO be Fish Commits
sioner, were here again to-day.
Mr.. Scott saw the President with SEN
ator Elkins, and told his friends that
his nomination would go to the Senate
shortly after Congress met.
But Senator Elkins does not seem as
confident now of SCOTS nomination as
he was some time ago.
Secretary Gage continues to object to
Mr.. Scott, and there is a chance that
his objection may keep the Wheeling
man out of the internal revenue office.
George M. Bowers was in high spir-
it's after talking with Senator Elkins
to-day, and went home tonight feel
ing his nomination for Fish Commits
sioner was certainty.
A. o. Petty, candidate for postmaster
at Charleston, who came here Sunday,
went home tonight with fresh assur-
ances that the President will nominate
him when Congress meets.
Congressman Dorr wanted him nom
mated before Congress met, but this
the President declined to do. Dorr
feels sore about it, as he fears many
Senators will assist in defeating Petty's
confirmation, thus leaving Mrs. Kenna
in charge of the Charleston postoffice
indefinitely. There is little doubt a
strong sentiment will develope among
Senators against turning Mrs Kenna
out.
Senator Elkins announced that the
report that he would oppose Attorney
General McKenna's confirmation as a
justice of the Supreme Court was err
roneous. He had no intention to OPP
pose confirmation of the man the Presi-
dent has chosen for Justice Fields sue
cessor, had been made known to the
President by his Senatorial callers.
Mr. McKinley's list Of callers to-day
included Senator Teller, of Colorado,
the leader of the Silver Republicans,
but no significance attaches to the visit.
