FRENCH OFFICIAL ADVICES so INDICATE

Paris, Oct 2.-Official adyices from
the Balkans show two distinct signs
that war will be ayerted at least until
spring. First the Bulgarian revolu-
tionary committee, through General
Serafoff, has made oveftures to the
Bulgarian government and unless hos
tilities are actually undertaken within
the next fortnight all preparations VIII
be suspended until spring. The pur-
pose of this, 1t is understood here,
will be to permit the declmating OF the
Turkish forces through the winter
and the completion of the preparations
for decisive move early in the
spring
Second, NJ. Natchevics, Bulgaria S
envoy at Constantinople. has agreed
to take up the negotiations. He at
first refused to act on the ground that
Turkey gave no assurances OF de-
sire for an adjustment. His present
decision is considered TO indicate that
Turkey has given adequate assur-
ances.
One CT the chief features nj. Nat
cheyics will insist on during the ne
gotiations is that Bulgaria shall have
a majority of the members and the
presidency Of the mixed commissiC I
having charge of the pacific ADJUST
ment of the Macedonian questions.

HALF A DOZEN KILLED.
Passenger Train Strikes Street Car at
Chicago.

Chicago. Oct 2.-SiX persons were
killed and a score of others were in
jured in a collision between a Wiscon-
sin Central limited passenger Grain
and a Forty-third avenue street car
~ Fifty-se..ond avenue. The street
car was crowded with passengers re-
turning from the Harlem racetrack
and nearly every man In the car was
injured.
The accident is charged by Motor
man Kilroy to the wet rails. He saw
the danger in time to avoid it and
applied the brakes, but the car slid
along the track with locked wheels.
The passenger train, which was run
ming at high speed, struck the street
car near the center. cutting 1t square
ly in two. 1t was reduced to splnters
In an instant and the force of the col
lision was such that several OF the
injured were hurled high in the air
and two OF the killed met their deaths
by striking the ground after being
thrown up from the wreck.
The railroad people contend that no
blame for the accident can apply to
them, for the reason that the danger
signals were properly set and there
was no reason why their train should
not proceed as usual They say the
train was not running faster than Is

in both of his, kissed him repeatedly
until the guard quietly urged him
away.
Burtons departure for the death
house made the most pathetic scene
of all Besides the aged priest there
was but one other person in the world
to whom he might say goodbye. That
was Allen Mooney. the last occupant
of the death cells. As Burton stepped
from his cell he looked back toward
Moneys cell. which was out OF his
view because of a great iron screen
built for that purpose, and called:
Goodbye, Mooney, | hope you won't
have to go like this" and then he
marched to the death chair.

that he may be assigned to some Eu-

HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
Van Wormer Brothers Convicted OF
KILLING Their Uncle.

In almost all respects the tragedy
which closed during the day at Clln-
| ton prison with the death in the cleo
trio chair of the three brothers Van
Wormer was unique in modern Grim
| inal history. On Christmas eve, 1901.
with their cousin, Harvey Bruce, the
three brothers drove from their home
in KinderhoOk, some fourteen miles,
10 the hamlet of Greendale, in Colum-
bia county, where lived Peter a. Hal
enheck, the uncle of the Van Wor-
mers. On the way they stopped at
the Greendale church. where they stole
from the vehicles of the farmers
number of robes and whips.
Thence they went on to the Hailen-
beck house where Mr.. Hallenbeck.
his wife and his aged mother were
sitting in the lamplight in their living
room Both the women saw them
drive past A few moments later
there was a knock at the door and
Mr. Hallenbeck answered 1t, to find
masked men outside, armed with re-
volvers. Burton Van Wormer led the
way and with him the old man crap
pied At once all four began fusll-
lade of pistol shots, which fairly rid

Mrs Hallenbeck. the wife. ran into
the kitchen and the brothers shot at
her. but missed. Her husband ordered
her 10 flee and she ran upstairs,
whittier the older woman had preceded
her. and the two barricaded them
selves in the attic
Mr. Halenbeck. although mortallV
wounded broke away from his assail-
ants and went to the landing OF the
stairs, where he kept loaded shot-
gun. The assailants saw him get the
gun and fled. The old man fell to the
floor and died.
The four young men were soon AFTER
arrested. betrayed by their footprints
in the snow and because they wei
known to have harbored bitter feel
ings and to have made threats against
their uncle.
Bruce Turns States Evidence.
They were brought to trial before
an extraordinary term of the supreme
court, appointed by Governor Odell
and presided over by Justice Alden
Chester of Albany on March 80, 1902.
Harvey Bruce turned states evil
dence and it was to large extent
upon his testimony that the convic-
tion of the Van Wormer brothers was
secured. He swore that upon the ride
back from the scene OF the crime each
Of the brothers boasted OF having shot
the uncle.
It was shown that, the bitterness
which the brothers felt toward their
uncle was due chiefly to his having
forecosed a mortgage upon the prop
erty in Greendale owned by their step
mother, the loss of which compelled
their removal to Undertook.
On April 18 all three men were
found guilty and sentenced to be put
to death In the week ending May 80.
1902. Their appeal to the court OF ap-
peals acted as stay and the case
went over to the present year.

care of their priest and hanked on
either side by prison deputies with
calm demeanor but extreme pallor.
Father Beanger, picturesque
white haired figure, not in the robes
of his office, but in the every day
black frock coat of clerical cut, with a
little purple stole about the shoulders,
walked along with each of the CON
demned men in turn, saying words OF
consolation.
Willis Van Wormer entered the
death chamber at 11:34 80, the cur
rent was turned into his body one
minute later and at 1887 he was de-
clared dead.
At 11:41:3O Frederick entered the
death chamber; at 11:42 the current
was turned on and he was declared
dead at 11:43:30.
Burton entered the death chamber
at l:47. the current was turned on
at 11:47:30 and he was declared dead
at IL: 1880.
Precautions to Deaden Sound.
During the first execution Father
Charbonneau remained In the corridor
between the death cells, reading
prayers and invocations 10 the re-
naming Van Wormers. Every precau-
tiOn had been taken to prevent the
remaining men from hearing more
than the departure OF their brother
from the room. The doors had been
padded and the interstices stuffed
with cotton so that the steps OF those
who removed the lifeless body from
the death chamber TO the morgue
could not be heard.

and four minutes time We're required

sEvERE ATTACK OF GRIP.
Cured by One Bottle Of ChanbeFlain'S
Cough Remedy.


"When I had an attack of the
grip last winter (the second time) /
actually cured myself with one bot
tie of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy." says Frank w. Perry, Editor
of the Enterprise, Shortsville, N.
Y. This Is the honest truth. I at
times kept from coughing myself
to pieces by taking teaspooniul
of this remedy, and when the cough.
Ing spell would come on at hight l
would take a dose and |: seemed
that In the briefest interval the
cough would pass off and 1 would
go to sleep perfectly free from cough
and Its accompanying pains. To say
that the remedy acted as a most
agreeable surprise Is putting 1t very
mildly. I had no idea that 1t would
or could knock out the grip, SIM
ply because I had never tried 1t for
such a purpose, but 1t did. and 1t
seemed with the second attack OF
coughing the remedy caused 1t to
not only be of less duration, but
tue pains were far less severe. and
I had not used the contents of one
bottle before Mr.. Grip had bid me
adieu." For sale by c. W. Grter.
