New York, Oct. 29.-Two colored
prisoners in an attempt to escape from
the prison attached to the seventh dis.
trict court, today, killed Keeper Hugh
McGovern, aged 81, and probably ia
tally injured George Wilson, aged SO, a
"trusty" who evidently tried to aid
McGovern. One of the prisoners, Ar
thur Flanagan, charged with burglary,
escaped; the other, Frank Emerson
also committed for burglary, fell into
the yard adjoining the prison, and was
instantly killed. The prisoners were
on the fourth floor. They sawed two
bars from the cell door, and got into
the corridor. In trying to cut the bars
in two it is supposed they encountered
McGovern and Wilson, tho the latter
cannot give an account of what hap
pened. The escaping prisoners used
their bedding for a rope, and swung
from the window. 1t is believed the
file, which the prisoners used to cut
the bars, was furnished by woman,
who visited Emerson Saturday even

FILIPINO DOOMED TO DEATH.
Rebel Guilty of Buryins American
Alive to be Executed.

Manila, Oct. "a, via Hong Kong, Oct.
29.-The rebel, Captain Novicio, has
been tried by military commission
at Baler, northern Luzon, charged with
burying alive seaman named Nc
Donald of Lieutenant Gillmore's York
town party. Novicio was found guilty
and sentenced to death. The commits
sion's sentence is now in the hands Of
General Macarthur for approval.
Testimony was produced at the trial
showing Novicio also caused the death
of Veuyille, another member of Lieu
tenant Gillmore's party, by delivering
him into the hands of the native tribes
men known as Iloggotes, who, under
the pretext of going fishing, lured Veu-
vile into the woods and murdered him
with two Spanish friends, who were
Veuyille's fellow captives.
The tribesmen bound Veuv1lle, op-
ened his veins and sucked his blood
until he was dead The evidence also
showed that Novicio killed Filipino
named Rodriguez, who was suspected
of being friendly to the Americans.
General Wheaton has approved the
commissions sentence.

FIGURES ON $4,000.
Registration Indicates a Big RepubIi-
can Victory,

Des Moines, Oct. 29.-The managers
of the republican state campaign are
studying the registration returns with
much interest. The campaign in this
state, so far as the head of the nation
al ticket and the contest for the state
Offices is concerned, ended with the
Waterloo meeting, and the only ques-
tion to be considered is the size of the
republican majority. And as the ma
jority depends altogether on whether
the republicans can get out full vote,
the registration reports as a matter Of
course give the managers a line on
the result on election day The reg
istration figures thus far received are
highly satisfactory to the republicans.
Chairman Weaver said today that he
was fully justified in claiming tnat the
majority of 1896 would be increased.
The heads of departments about re-
publican headquarters have been u.s.
ing their pencils and they do not hesi-
tate to make the claim that the ma
jority for Mckinley will be upwards of
$4,000.

PUNISH WRONG MAN FOR ARSON.
C. F. Rollins confesses to Crime for,
Which j. r. Faust Served Sentence,

winch j. r. Faust Served Sentence.
Waterloo, Oct. 29.-In written con-
fession, which he has placed in the
hands OF Postmaster i. Z. Munger, of
this city, G. F. Rollins tens of his guilt
of crime of arson for which another
man has just emerged from the peni-
tentiary after serving three years
sentence.
On Aug. 4, 1897, two barns on the
farm of j. R. Faust, near MARSHALL
town, were destroyed by fire, together
with their contents. Faust had but a
short time before obtained considera-
Bile insurance on the buildings. He
was arrested, charged with burning the
property, and convicted.
In his confession Rollins, who was
one of the witnesses against Faust,
says that he set fire to the barns and
that he was paid $3.50 by an attorney
for railroad for doing the work.
A telegram from Marshalltown says
Rollins is known there, and that he is
familiar with the case.
Faust was confined in the peniten-
tiary at Fort Madison, and was re-
leased last June. Ihe authorities of
Marshall county have been looking for
him for some time, but have been un-
able to locate him.
Rollins declares Faust was kidnap-
ped when he left the penitentiary, at
the instance of the railroad officials,
and taken to Chicago, where he is
lodged in Jail on some charge.
At Marshalltown it is thought Rol-
Inns story may be true.

partment issued the following:
BY The president of the United
States of America, proclamation.
1T has pleased Almighty God to
bring our nation in safety and honor
thru another year. Works of religion
and charity have everywhere been
manifest. Our country thru all its ex-
tent has been blessed with abundant
haryests. Labor and the great indus
tries of the people have prospered be-
yond all precedent. Our commerce
has spread over the world. Our pow
er and influence in the cause of free.
dom and enlightenment have extended
over distant seas and lands. The lives
of our official representatives and ma
ny of our people in China have been
marvelously preserved. We have been
generally exempt from pestiIence and
other great calamities and even the
tragic visitation which overwhelmed
the city of Galveston made evident the
sentiments of sympathy and Christian
charity by virtue of which we are
united people.
Now, therefore, i. William McKin-
ley, president of the United States, do
hereby appoint, and set apart Thurs
day, the 29th day of November next, to
be observed by all the people of the
United States at home or abroad as a
day of thanksgiving and praise to Him
who holds our nation in the hollow of
His hand. recommend that they
gather in their several places of wor-
ship and devoutly give Him thanks for
the prosperity wherewith he has en-
dowed us, for the seed-time and the
harvest, for the valor, for the devotion
and the humanity of our armies and
navies, and for all His benefits to us
as individuals and as a nation; and,
that they humbly pray for the continu-
ance of His divine favor, for concord
and amity with other nations, and for
righteousness and peace in all our
ways.
"In witness whereof, have hereun-
to set my hand. etc.

Hazleton, Oct. 29-Operations were
resumed this morning at majority of
the collieries in the Hazleton district.
The strike is still on at the mines of
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Co. and
COKE Bros. q Co., owing to a misun-
derstanding on account of notices post
ed. Probably all hands will be work
ing tomorrow. The colliery at Mines
V-Ae, where no demands have been

the company threatened to abandon
the mine, and it looks as if the threat
would be carried out At Lattimer
and Cranberry collieries and at Stock.
ton about 200 strikers are still idle ow-
ing to minor differences between the
men and the operators, but It is be-
lieved in most instances a settlement
will be reached in few days.

GENERAL KNOX DEFEATS pEwEr
Caught Him in Drift and Inflicted
Severe Loss,

London, Oct 29.-The war office has
received the following from Roberts:
Knox successfully engaged Dewet Oc-
tober 27. During the Boer retreat
Knox caught Dewet in Rensburg drift.
The Beers lost considerable and left
two guns and three wagons in Knox's
hands. The British casualties were
nll.'
Referring to the Jacobsdal affair,
Roberts says it was due to the treach-
cry of the Inhabitants, who admitted
the Beers to their houses at night.
They opened fire at daybreak. Four
teen men were killed and thirteen
wounded, mostly Cape Highlanders.
The troops dispatched from the Mod
der river drove off the Beers. The
houses of the treacherous inhabitants
were destroyed. Commandant Bos-
man was killed.
Roberts calls attention to the "in-
creasing inclination of the better class
of Beers to cooperate with the British
to secure peace, since they find that
guerilla warfare is visited with heavy
punishment"

the story told by Wilkinson and Hyde,
were also placed under arrest in Des
Moines, charged with concealing
stolen property, which they say was
also ruse of the father to scare the
girl. They say that he offered to drop
the case If the girl would consent to
leave her husband and again reside
with him, but she refused saying she
would rather die In Iowa than live in
Missouri.
The Other Side.
The other side of the case as told
In Des Moines papers is very different.
The father is quoted as saying that
Wilkinson worked on a farm near
Chillicothe and became acquainted
with his dau@hter, who it is said, he
claims is white. Gordon, it is said,
claims that Wilkinson induced
his daughter to elope with
him. He traced her to Des Moines and
one day not long ago came face to face
with Wilkinson on the streets of that
city. 1t is said that the Missourian
pulled gun and Wilkinson fled. Cor
don gave chase, it is said and for near
ly mile pursued his quarry with
out success. Later he claims, the cou-
pie lied to Kansas, where he pursued
them, coming up with his daughter,
but her husband was gone. He in
duced the girl to go back to Missouri
with him which she did, 1t is aid, but
about two weeks ago suddenly disap-
peared. He again came to Des Moines
and began what Wilkinson and his
friends call system of persecution.
Gordon in company with his brother
arrived in the city today and is quoted
as saying Il reckon we bettah not do
much with this niggeh till we get him
in ouah country, but when he comes
to Missouri if he evah does, I'm fearful
something will occuah to him."
1t is understood that warrant has
been isued in Missouri for Wilkinson's
arrest on the charge of kidnapping.
In that state there is an intense pre-
judice against colored and white peo-
pie intermarrying and If Wilkinson is
taken back there. it is said, he will
have hard time. However Wilkin-
son claims his wife is half caste; the
father claims she is not and from the
tones of alleged interviews he is de-
termined to prosecute the man who
married his daughter to the full extent
of the law.

Wreaks Havoc.
New York, Oct. 2s.-At 1880 o'clock
today lower New York was startled
by four explosions in the building oc-
cupied by Tarrant & Co., wholesale
druggists. The fire department almost
instantly responded.
A column Of debris.s smoke and
flames shot up 800 feet into the sky.
The Sixth avenue elevated railroad
structure which passes the building
was demolished at that point Win
dows in the vicinity for blocks around
were blown out by the concussion Of
the explosion. Houses across the
street are in danger.
Many People in Building.
At 1 o'clock it was said there were
fully one hundred and fifty persons in
the building at the time of the explo-
sion and few if any of them escaped.
A nre engine was almost completely
demolished by falling walls.
It is said one hundred of the en-
ployes are girls. They were on dif-
ferent floors when the explosion oc-
Cured. 1t is hard to see how these
girls could have escaped.
People Killed In Restaurant.
In a restaurant next door to the
h,,r
were eating luncheon. Many were IN
jured and it Is reported that score or
more lost their lives. Up to 12.45 p.
m. eleven injured persons had been
taken to the New York hospital. ALI
the ambulances from the hospitals
south of Fifty-ninth street have been
called to the scene.
Fire Adds Its Terrors.
A lithographing establishment close
to Tarrant's place caught fire, and the
flames spread to the Irving bank and
two buildings across the street. The
Warren street station of the Ninth
avenue elevated road, directly in front
of the drug establishment, was COM
pletely demolished and number of
persons waiting for the train were
blown to the street and received SER
ious injuries. Several women escaped
from the station by walking along the
plank platform at the edge of the
track. Several buildings at the rear
of the drug store were blown down.
The flames spread with wonderful
rapidity, until the two blocks from
Chambers to Warren and from Wash
ington to Greenwich streets were soon
on fire.
Number of Flremen Killed.
Policeman Calvin was in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the fire when the
first of the series of explosions occur
red. He said number of firemen
were blown to death on the Warren
street building. He rescued one OF
them. Calvin said that In his belief
no less than 200 persons would be
found to have lost their lives. The
force of the explosion was heard and
felt clear down to Wall street and
heavy plate glass windows were
smashed and people thrown to the
street for distance of four blocks.

From world.

La Crosse, Wis, Oct. 29.-During
Saturday night and Sunday this city
practically has been cut off from the
outside world, as far as the mail is

heavy rain. At the local weather bu-
reau 727 inches of rainfall were re-

fered by railroads, businessmen and
farmers, and hundreds are without

the various roads entering the city,
which was suspended yesterday, was
resumed late last night. The storm
