Two Men Hanged For MurAsr. ono
Proclaiming Other's Innocenoe.
Rockville. Nd, Aug. 1s.-Armistead
Taylor and John Alfred Brown were
hanged here yesterday for the murder
Of Louis Rosenstein and his wife. Az
the men plunged through the trap the
rope around Taylor's neck slipped and
he slowly strangled to death, writing
horribly for at least ten minutes.
Brown died quickly, his neck evidently
being broken. Both men met death
with grimness, although Taylor was ex-
tremely nervous and his voice Quivered
as he made statement, in which he
retracted his former confessions and
his testimony on the witness stand,
and asserted that Brown had nothing
whatever d. to do with the murder.
Brown also protested to the very last
that he was innocent.
W. e. Belt. Of Chicago, In whose
family Brown was formerly q slave,
made every effort In his power to Sc
cure Communication or a reprieye for
the doomed man.. At midnight the
night before he called Governor
Lowndes up on the telephone and Sc
cured from him promise that he
would interpose In the event that
Judges Henderson. Motter and Chief
Judge McSherry consented to 1t. Mr..
Belt obtained the consent OF Judges
Motter and Henderson. but Chief Judge
McSherry. who presided at the trial,
positively declined to recommend ex-
ecutive interference on the ground that
there was enough testimony against
Brown to convict him. After the ex-
ecution Mr.. Belt sent telegram to
Governor Lowndes in which he told
the governor that he held him and
Chief Judge McSherry responsible for
the death of an innocent man.

American Beef Restrictions.

Washington, Aug. 19.-Consul Cen
eral Mason. at Berlin, has made a re-
port to the state department on Ger
many's latest restrictive measure
against the United States in decreeing
that fresh meat shall not be imported
from Belgium to Germany. Mr.. Mason
says 1t was at once evident that this
decree was in reality aimed at Ameri-
can beef and was occasioned by Bel
gums recent removal of the restric-
tfons on American cattle. The consul
general says the decree is the logical
furtherance and fulfillment Of a policy
upon which the German government
entered In 1894. Mr.. Mason says it will
do American interests injury in Den
mark, which country was about to
admit American cattle. but hesitated
from fear that Germany would shut
out Denmark's fresh meats.

Professor A. M. Leonard, Chicago's
''apostle of the Mission Of the Messenger

Of the 'kissing bug" presages the end Of
the world.
In thunderous and sulphuric dis
course before large audience In Chica-
go the other night he pronounced the
mysterious picipes to be the veritable To-
Gust which the book Of Revelation says
shall come from the bottomless pit, at
tack men with the sting of the scorpion,
from the effects of whose bite the victim
shall lnger five months and which fas-
tens itself upon those whose foreheads do
not bear the seal Of the Lord. Professor
Leonard read extensively from the book
of Revelation, applying each verse to
several recent calamities, such as the cy-
clone at St. Louis, the sinking Of La
Bourgogne and the tornado in Wisconsin.
When he had finished his lecture, two

workmen Charge intimidation.

Philadelphia. Aug. ia secret
meeting of the machinists employed
at Cramps ship building yards was
held last night. Frederick Kunzleman,
an official OF the local machinists' as
sociation and formerly employed at
Cramps, stated that the recent whole
sale discharges at the ship yards were
made for the purpose of intimidating
the men. Recently 500 employees were
discharged from the various depart
ments in the yard and 1t was init
mated that many more would follow.
The reason given by the firm was the
scarcity Of structural iron. Mr.. KunZel-
man asserts the machinists are not
effected by this shortage and that there
is enough work to keep them busy for
two years.

A semi-official note Issued says:

assemblages. will be maintained, how
ever, as long as possible.
M. Guerin decided last night to en-
ergetically maintain his own PROPOSE
tons and refused to accept those pro-
posed by General Jacquey. M. Guerin's
decision not to surrender was deliver
ed after deputation of the National
