A MESSAGE OF DEATH.
1t Caused nm Exciting Scene mt the
Sing Sing Death House.

1t Caused nm Exciting Scene mt the
Sing Sing Death House.
New York. Feb. 21.-There was an
exciting scene in the death house at
Sing Sing prison yesterday afternoon.
All the men in the cages were greatly
shaken. Roland B. MOlineux was much
agitated, and was pale and drawn about
the face when 1t was over. All the
prisoners were in similar condition.
DR.. Kennedy, also under death SEN
tence. is said to have been so affected
that he could hardly stand.
Antonio Ferraro Is to die next week
for q murder committed in September,
1888. Since being in the death house
he has proved TO be most vicious and
uncomfortable. Warden Johnson fear
ed to inform him that all appeals for
clemency had failed, and that he must
die next week. This duty he entrusted
to an Italian priest from New York,
who visits the condemned man occa-
sionally. The priest went to the death
house and informed Ferraro that he
must expect to die any time after Sun
day at midnight. The moment Ferra-
TO heard this he burst forth into pro-
longed scream. His screeches in the
silent room were fearful, and were to-
tally unexpected by the prisoners. For
the greater part Of half hour Ferraro
screamed Historically, rushing about
the cell and acting in violent manner.
Finally the priest Gained him some-
what, leaving him seated on his cot
rocking and moaning.

The Evidence Shows That Somebody
Has Testified Falsely.
Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Clara
yesterday continued and completed his
testimony before the senate committee
on privileges and elections, but his tes-
timony did not attract as much atten-
ton as that Of other witnesses who
were heard during the day. The other
witnesses were Frank COrbett, Of
Butte; E. :. Day, who was the Clark
leader on the floor Of the Montana
house Of representatives, and John b.
Welcome, who was general man.
ager for Mr.. Clark. Mr.. Welcome did
not take the stand until late and his
examination in chief was not COM
pleted when the committee adjourned
for the day. He made general and
specific denial of all the allegations
made by Whiteside and others. These
denials were made in response to Ques-
tons by Mr.. Faulkner, and the witness
uniformly answered II did not" NO."
or Nothing like 1t occurred"
Mr.. Day admitted having received a
present of $1,000 from Mr.. Clark, and
said he understood that 1t was given
as testimonial and as compensation
for his services. The oath Of office as
member of the house was read and
seemed to produce quite an impression
upon some Of the members of the
committee.
Mr.. Corbett and Justice Piggott were
confronted for a brief period early In
the day and In rather dramatic man
ner. They both testified concerning
mortgage held by Mr.. Corbett. and
there was a direct clash In statements.

A dear old Indy who lived up on Mssa

Her death was completely nnexpecteds
In fact, the evening before she died she
had been persuaded to speak into the ro-
ceiver Of photograph owned by hen
son-in-law. 1t turned out to he o re-

the sitting room when she inadvertently
turned the switch that started the pho
nograph. As luck would have it, tho
cylinder was the one containing the old
lady's hymn, and II rang out with star

Philadelphia, Feb. 21.-Thc big iron
steamship Restormel sunk off Chestnut
street wharf, Camden, Monday mid
night. She was loaded with cargo of
grain for the British army in South
Africa. A board Of survey. with the
assistance Of diver examined the
sunken vessel later in the day, but
could not find the hole because the
hull was too deeply imbedded in the
mud for the diver to get at the bot
tom Of the ship. 1t is believed that the
anchor fouled the vessel as 1t was
heaved overheard, puncturing some Of
her bottom plates. The Restormel was
towed to this side of the river after
some of the water was pumped out Of
her. The cargo will be lightered and
the vessel put in the dry dock,

New York, Feb. 81. - Surrogate
Thomas yesterday handed down a de-
cislon declaring the will Of Miss Annie
Taylor Morgan, who persisted in the
Windsor hotel fire, entitled to probate.
He says the evidence, although alto
gether circumstancial, is sufficient to
prove her death. Surrogate Thomas
says he is not favorably impressed
by the theory that she left the hotel
before the fire and soon afterward lost
her reason and became an inmate of
a lunatic asylum. Miss Morgan left
her estate. worth $25O,O00, to Mrs. Hat
tie Leland in trust for Miss Ina Leland
Smith, her niece. Mrs. Alma Louise
Fellows Larner, Miss Morgan's sister,
opposed the probate of the will.

=. .ARnapoliH. ND, Feb. 21.--House
!, c0mpittea on hygiene gave a hearing
yesterday to a number of Christian
Scientists who appeared before the
committee in opposition to the medical
practitioners bill. The scientists came
from Baltimore and Washington on
special cars. and were ably represent
cd by Messrs. J. Berry Baker, Alonzo
B. Miles and George WhitelOck, who
argued ON the illegality of the measure,
and by Edward Hammond, Of Balti-
more, and Mrs. Ellen Brown Linscott,
Of Washington, who explained the
views Of Christian science.
Mr.. Hammond said: I'VE claim no
power of our own. We claim to be
following In the footsteps of Jesus
Christ, who healed the sick through
the Father. We never use drugs. We
do not oppose the employment of a
regular physician. Our text book
teaches us that surgical cases should
be left to surgeons. We never at
tempt to operate or manipulate. 1t is
estimated there are from 100000 to
100000 Christian Scientists in the
United States
The clause in the bill to which OBJ
lection Is made reads: ANY person
shall be regarded as practicing medi-
cine, within the meaning of this act,
who shall attempt to heal, operate on,
or prescribe for any ailment of an
other"
The Christian Scientists ask for the
insertion OF the following amendment:
Provided, however, that nothing con-
tained in this act shall apply to any
person or persons who minister to or
treat the sick or afflicted by mental or
spiritual means, and without the use
OF any drugs or manipulation"

the jury yesterday in the case against
Lieutenant Colonel James B. r. Streat-
or. of Washington, and Major J. c.

specific act being the attempt to in
fuence Juror, Frank Watson, who
was sitting on case at the May quar-
ter sessions court. in which Major
Samuel Hazlett, q friend of Kay and
Streator, was acquitted Of embezzle-
ment as a banker. At the November

Taylor sentenced Streator and Kay
to pay costs of prosecution and

feNNeSSee'S MINE STRIKE.


Men ~ the Je1HcO- MfNes to Be

Indianapolis. - FeNs 81. - President
Mitchell. Of the United Mine Workers,
before leaving for the Illinois conven-
ton. instructed that strike be Or
dered at the Jellico (Tenn.) mines. It
was at first intended to have Mitchell,
the national president, call the men
out, and allow the operators, II they
saw flt, to issue an order for his ar
rest, but after weighing the case T. ].
Smith, the district president, was d.
rected to call out the men.
Yesterday the following telegram
was received from G. W. Purcell.
member Of the national executive
board: Strike will be called at once.
Call issued by Smith"
A few weeks ago Purcell went to
Jellico to organize the men. The
operators objected to organization. and
caused his arrest through federal in
junction proceedings. He is now out
on bond. The men asserted their right
to organize, and are in state Of high
indignation over Purcell's arrest 1t
is feared there will be trouble. The
district has about 1900 miners who
are paid up members of the union, but
it is probable that 5000 miners are
employed In the whole district.

BOERS ON DEFENSIVE
Leaving British Territory to Con-
centrate on Their Own.
TO OPPOSE LORD ROBERTS MOVE.

British War Department Evidently
Withholding Favorable News Fer
Confirmation - British Losses to
Date Over Eleven Thousand.
London, Feb. 2l.--The Beers are
leaving all the positions held by them
| on British territory, and are concen-
trating for the defense Of their own.
Sir Redvers Butler thinks they are
about To raise the siege Of Ladysmith,
and this Is the large news of the day.
General Clements reports that the
force confronting him has been great
ly diminished. Ten thousand men are
estimated to have gone from Colesberg
district alone. The Beers are also re-
tracing their steps from Zululand.
Thus they are relaxing their hold on
all sides in order to assemble to oppose
Lord Roberts. He Is pressing on stead
lily towards Bloemfontein. This is
shown by his inconsequential telegram
from Paardeberg, so or go miles away.
Doubtless he is miles behind the col
limn that Is pursuing the Beers, and
the next important news may be the
occupation Of Bloemfontein.
Nothing has been heard from the
chase Of Cronje for two days. Although
the last words of the war Office last
night were that there was no news for
publication. there is strong DISPOSE
ton to believe that favorable informa-
ton has been received. but Is being
withheld until the operations culmi-
nate in something more conclusive.
There is an equally strong disposition
to think that General Cronje has got
away.
Owing to the lack Of transports the
British are not likely to invade Boer
territory, except where Lord Roberts
Is operating. General Butler will have
to stop at the Drakensberg mountains.
Probably part Of his 10000 men will
ultimately join the legioqs Of Lord
Roberts.
If, as General Butler AYERS, the
Beers are retreating from him, then
the news on every side is favorable to
the British.
Nevertheless troops continue to go
up. The war Office thinks that the
call to veterans to rejoin the colors.
together with the bounty, will bring
$4,000 men to the home defense. The
urgency with which the home defense
is pressed excites some wonder.
With the casualties just reported the
British losses in killed, wounded and
captured now aggregate 11,lO2.

Mother and Two Sons Drowned

Cape May. Feb. 21.--The wife and
two sons Of Enoch Stevenson were
drowned in a pond near their home at
Elodra, near here, yesterday. The two
boys, who were 10 and 10 years of age,
were playing on the ice when they
broke through. Their screams attract
ed the attention Of the mother. She
ran in on the ice close to the hole
where her two sons were struggling
and in attempting to draw them from
the water also fell In. By this time
the father and several of the nigh
bors came to the rescue, but the three
were beyond human aid when taken
from the water. The father also broke
through the ice. but was rescued.

.THB RIVAL GOVERNORS
Their Attorneys in Joint Confer
ence on the Legal Contest.
THE DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS,

In Joint Session, Ratified the For
mer Proceedings Which Declares
Beckham Governor, but the Repub-
Iicaa Members Decline to Attend.
Frankfort, KY, Feb. 21.-The attor-
neys for Taylor and Beckham are hold
ing joint conference for the purpose
Of discussing propositions to settle
which of the two injunction suits re-
lating to the contest over the governor
ship shall have precedence on the con-
solicitation Of both cases, in order to
avoid a clash between courts over the
question of Jurisdiction. The Beck
ham suit Is set for hearing before
Judge Cantrill at Georgetown Friday,
and the attorneys will attempt to agree
upon plan of action and facts form
ing the basis Of the suit and as to
what Judge the agreed case shall be
tried before.
The Democratic members Of the two
houses of the legislature met in joint
session at 8 O'Clock yesterday after
noon and by vote of "A to 2 ratified
the former proceedings by which Will
lam Goebel was declared governor and
J. c. W. Beckham lieutenant governor
and through which Beckham, since the
death of Goebel, claims title to the
office of governor. The Republican
members of the legislature remained
away from the Joint session, having
decided in caucus not to attend. The
senate had adopted the resolutions on
Monday and the house yesterday fore
noon, and the adoption Of them by the
joint assembly, from the Democratic
standpoint, puts the finishing touches,
as to its action, on the contests.
In the session Of the joint assembly
Senator Triplett and Representative
Crider voted against the ratification
resolutions. Mr.. Order, in explana-
ton Of his vote, said he had hoped
that there would be full and fair in
vestigatlon Of the contests and that he
hoped to be able to vote with the
Democrats, but he could not satisfy his
own conscience and do so in this mat
ter. Mr.. Orr declined to vote. He said
he had voted with the Democrats in
their former action, and did not think
ratification Of these former proceed
ings necessary now.

Annapolis, Nd, Feb. 21.-A senate
bill which had for its object the COM
pulsory sale Of six street car tickets
for rs cents by the United Railways
company, of Baltimore city, was de-
feated yesterday by vote of 20 to 4.

measure until he wes assured that his
people would not sltfer by reason of
reduced dividends.
