MURDER AND SUICIDE
Attempted in Most Horrible Manner by
New York Ex-Convict.

Attempted In Most Horrible Manner by
New York Ex-Convict.
New York, January Orchard
Price. former convict, to-day at
tempted to murder his mistress and
commit suicide in a somewhat novel
and horrible way. The woman was a
Mrs. Harmon, with whom until lately
Price lived for six years. They sepa-
rated month ago on account OF Prices
alleged cruelty. Last night they met
and Price compelled the woman to go
with him to Blocker street hotel.
When she was in bed he gave her
whisky, supposed to have been drug
ged. Then Price turned on the UNI
lighted gas jets. There was gas
stove in the room and he also let the
gas from this escape. He showed his
trousers against the door on the floor
so that asphyxiation would be sure.
The woman rose from her bed in ter
ror. Price knocked her down and held
her mouth over the gas stove. Just
before she was overcome by the gas
that poured into her mouth she
screamed loudly. A man in a nearby
room heard her. He broke open the
door and prevented the murder of the
woman and suicide of Price. The we
man was unconscious. but will prob
ably recover. Price, whom the gas had
not seriously affected was arrested.

hypocrisy no longer hide the hideous
of philanthropy.
While Col. Bryan was rece lived with
most enthusiastic demo Astrations.
there was scene of pa ademonirm
when he closed shortly befe re 1 O'Clock.
The men jumped on thei chairs and
some onto the tables an( / kept ap the
loud cheering and wavi1 tg of linen for
a long time. Col. Brys E's closing re-
mark dealt with 1.-The TT nsts as the ben
eficiaries of expansion u The favored
class, he said, would get all that came
back and the taxpay kers and common
people would pay fl II the armies and
the colonial govern nent. Gen. Finley,
who followed, con tinued in the same
line and Congress sman Lentz made a
terrific arraignme ant OF President Nc
Kinley.
Among the others responding to
toasts were General E. B. Finley
otway j. Cos grove, Judge J. P. Tarvin
| and Congress smen Lentz and Kern.
Col. BryS N found the floor of the
Chamber of Commerce filled with
members and the general public when
he entered to-day under escort of
PRESIDENT Robert H. West. He was
lntrodu cell as Col. w. J. Bryan, of
| Nebrasik aka, and as he rose was greeted
with a big round of applause. He be-
gan ais speech by speaking of the very
few inv itations he had had to address
such bodies. He deprecated the idea
| that man must be
DENIED A HEARING
because he differed in opinion from
! others. Error, he said, was harmless
! when reason and argument were free.
| He did not venture on partisan topics,
| but spoke of the equality of men and
cDmbatted the idea that the seller of
products was better than the producer.
| All trade rested on the producer. The
| trader who is supported by the farmer
could be done away without IA
tai effect. but the farmer cannot be
disturbed without ruin to the trader.
He referred to his vote in. Congress
/ on the anti-option bill as one in favor
of enforcement of equal rights. He
could not see why it was not clear that
betting one the price of grain and so
raising or lowering it's value was rob-
berry of the farmers. The lesson of his
speech was that no set of men have
the right to use the government to OBJ
tain special privileges for themselves
to the injury of others.

swer to question if ii. was true he
would not go into the caucus, said:
Il will not go into any caucus, but
propose to help elect a Republican
Senator if it is possible. My reason
for refusing to go into the caucus is
that neither Atkinson nor Scott can
hold all of his friends in line to support
the caucus nominee. If the caucus is
held and there is a determination to

the Republican votes cannot be held
for either Scott or Atkinson, and be-
