queer Bits of History.

Chicago News.
 In English statutes of the sixteenth century the punishment set down TOT the crime of murdering by poison was boiling alIse, and a girl was actually executed Tn that ghastly fashion. In 15ss Father Stone of Canterbury suf- fered the same death. A curious ac- count is in existence which gives the amount paid: For two men who set the kettle and parboiled him" and ITO the women that secured the kettle. The sentence was not always carried out with so much ferocity, for culprits were sometimes hanged before being boiled. In one case it Is recorded that a man was first hanged, then boiled and uuartered.
 It was the great eclipse of August 21. 1860, that turned Tycho Brahe into an astronomer He was in his fourteenth year at the time, a Danish boy of noble origin. and had been destined first for the army and then for the law. But the accuracy with which the eclipse was predicted impressed him with the belief that astronomy was a divine thing, and thenceforth he devoted his life to It. The debt of astronomy to Tvcho Brahe. not only for his own work, but as the man who shaped the genius of KepIer. can scarcely be over estimated.
 There Is a pretty bit of history in the name of that vehicle, the fiacre. St. Fiacre was an Irishman of noble birth, who went over to France in the seventh century and lived as a hermit in a forest near Meauv. His popularity be- came very great in the France of later centuries. When Sauvage started public hackney coaches In Paris in 1640 he found the most convenient center for them to be an Inn In the Rue St. Martin. named Hotel St. Fiacre and adorned with an image of the saint. Hence "fiacre."

REFERRED TO COMMITTEE.
Riksdag Begins Consideration Oi KrOnsdat Agreement.

Stockholm, Oct 5.-Both Chambers of the Riksdag today referred the bill regarding the solution of the union between Norway and Sweden to a special committee appointed by each chamber.
 During the debate in the first cham Der several members criticised the Karlstadt agreement on the ground that Sweden's concessions gave the i'm pression that Norway had secured the advantage. Some of the members pro- tested against the arbitration clause and went so far as to say that war between the two countries was bound to come. A long debate preceded the final reference of the bill to a special con,Hlittee. The government speakers maintained that Sweden had secured everything she sought for at Karl stadt.

MADE A NICE CATCH
CHICAGO POLICE NAB HOFFMAN
 AND MRS. SCHILLER.
Omcers Believe the Pair Are Not Only
 smuEglers, but Expert Burglars ..-l. With nm International .. L Reputation.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Two burglars of international reputation. 1t is believed, are now in the custody of the govern ment officials in this city and efforts are to be made by Edward L. Montgomery, step-son of Isaac F. Lloyd, vice-presi- dent of the Mutual Life Insurance Com pany, to have the pair taken to New York.
 Henry Hoffman, who has a number of aliases and who was arrested on charges of smuggling diamonds through the port at Boston. Is one Of the prisoners under arrest Mrs. Henry Schiller, who also has numerous other cognomens, Is the other prisoner. The specific charge on which the prisoners are held is smuggling. Instead of be- ing merely smugglers. however. 1t IS now alleged that Hoffman and his com panion were implicated in robbery in London nnd in at least two large bur glaries in New York city.
 According to government officials both prison CTS have confessed to having g robbed the home of MT. Lloyd; where the woman was employed and was ap- parently a perfect servant. Hundreds of dollars worth of diamonds and sil- yer confiscated by the government when Hoffman and Mrs. Schiller were arrested has been practically identified by MT. Montgomery as having been taken from the Lloyd home in New York. At the time of the burglarizing of the Llyd home, articles to the value of $30.000 are said to have been taken. Another charge which may be placed against the accused is that of robbing the Ansonia Hotel in New York of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and clothing.
 Mrs Schiller is known as an expert impersonator of men. Silk hats and various other articles of mems attire were found in her rooms. According to the governments agents, Mrs Schiller seems willing to accept all blame so that Hoffman may be cleared.

 Ownership.

New York, Oct 5.-Mayor George B. Mcclellan tonight was renominateo TOT mayor of New York city for the iour years term beginning Januarysl next by the Democratic city Sonvention or Tammany Hall organization. MT. Mc- CIellan is now rounding out his first term of two years, the State legisla- ture having recently amended the charter so as to provide for a Tour years tenure of office TOT onicials Of Greater New York.
 The Tammany convention was held in Carnegie Hall amid much enthusi- asm. The fact that the entire ticket had been decided upon beforehand did not seem to diminish the ardor of the delegates of five boroughs of the greater city. MT Mcclellan was the only member of the present adminis- tration renominated, the ticket named by the convention being as follows:
 For Mayor. George B. Mcclellan of Manhattan; for Comptroller, Herman A. Metz of Brooklyn; for President of the Board of Aldermen. Patrick Mono gan of Manhattan.
 MT. Metz Is named to succeed Comp troller E. M. Grout and Mo McGowan to succeed President Charles V. Fornes.
 Mir Fornes presided at tonights convention. A resolution was adopted highly commenting President Roose- VelL IOT HIS SeTNlCcS III peace between Russian and Japan. Mayor Mcclellan in accepting the nom- ination declared that 1t hasScome to him unasked and unsought. He said he was pledged to no man or group of men; pledged only to the people to do his duty to the best of his ability.
 MT. Mcclellan spoke briefly but took occasion to touch upon the ques- ton of municipal ownership of public utilities.
 AS Democrat" he said. | believe that the community Is best governed which is least governed and that where individual effort and private en- terprises can accomplish the same re- suit as government. government has no right to interfere. 54s As..se z
 Where, however, public ;; utilities conducted by private enterprise fail in giving the people an adequate ser vice then I believe that it is the duty of government to take con trol."
 The platform adopted touches upon municipal ownership ana declares it has long been accepted as a Demo- cratic doctrine.

CARTER CASE.
ross-Examination of the Former Cap-
 tain Continued.

tain Continued.
 Chicago, Oct. 5.-Cross- examination of former Captain Oberlin M Carter by attorneys for the Federal Government was continued today before Special Examiner Richard w. Wyman. It is the tenth consecutive cross -examina- tion in the case, in which the Govern ment seeks to confiscate Carter's pri- vate fortune of $6o0.000. Carter was closely questioned regarding a deposit of $S1s.70 made to the credit of his personal account in the Union Trust Company, New York, December 23 1898. Among the deposits of this date was a note for $90 signed by R. F. Westcott, the defendants father-in- law. Carter explained that the note was for borrowed money. Document tary evidence was introduced regarding bank deposit of $500 made by Cap tain Carter. June 30. 1897, consisting of interest coupon on bonds.
 A short letter written eight years ago, which is expected to prove Car ter's right to the $600,000 in contro- versy, was introduced in evidence by counsel for the defense during the af- ternoon session. The letter read as follows:
 New York, Oct. 29. 1897.
 My Dear MT. Rose-I enclose draft of memorandum. The proposed re- ceipts are so long that they will not be finished until later. but are the same form as the last one. H. l.. Stimson.
 The Government has contended all along that the transfer of the securi- ties to Westcott was with the under standing that they were to be returned later. The letter is supposed to prove that the transfer male by Carter was a formal one made in the presence of witnesses in Attorney H. L. Stimson's office, law partner of Elihu Root. A list of the securities was also offered in evidence.

PHILADELPHIA sKIRMIsH.
Another Tilt Between Weaver Fore
 and the Opposltl0n.

1n0 tmC okPOShetOAs
 Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-There was an other skirmish fin the City Council to- day between the forces on the side or Mayor Weaver and those supporting the Republican organization over the matter of increasing the city's deDt 36,000.000. Two, weeks ago both branches of Councils passed an ordi- nance authorizing an increase in the city's debt of $4,000,000 for the re- moval of railroad grade crossings ana another authorizing an increase of the debt $2,000,000 for street paving.
 Today Mayor Weaver vetoed both bills. When the vetoes were read in Councils they provoked a long and sharp debate. with the result that Con- mon Councils passed both bills over the Mayors veto by the necessary nree-ffths vote. while Select Council sustained the veto on the paving bill. but passed the grade crossing bill over the Mayors disapproval.
 Under the laws governing the mu- nicipality. the grade crossing loan bill now goes to the people, who must ap- prove the measure by vote before the city's indebtedness can be increasd.

FORAKER's INTERVIEW.
Senator Replies to Statement of James
 J. Hooker.

J. Hooker.
 Cincinnati. Oct. 5.-Senator Joseph B. Foraker gave out an interview to- day in reply to the statement of James J. Hooker of this city here last week in which MT. Hooker presented the shippers side of the railroad rate leg isIation question and gave his personal views.
 In his reply Senator Forager reviews in detail MT. Rockers individual case as a shipper which has led him to com plain of alleged discriminations against Cincinnati in through rates on freight from Atlanta and other South ern points to Chicago and other points north of the Ohio River. .--
 The Senator states tersely In effect that MT. Hooker had no grievance against the railroads until the passing of the Elkins law put an end to the granting of rebates by the railroads to MT. Rockers company and points out that MT, Hooker Is a victim of the law of competition which Is the primary factor in the fixing of railroad rates and that he Is unfortunate in that his factory is situated here Instead of in close proximity to the place where he gets his unfinished product or at the finished product.
 Senator Foraker explains why the rate to Cincinnati from southern points Is proportionately higher than the rate from the same points to Chicago and al the same time shows how a change in the rate to Cincinnati would necessitate such changes in numer- ous other rates and that condition would prevail essentially similar to t..e present conditions
 The senator does not explain in this Interview what his remedy is for ex- isting evils and abuses sn the railroad rate situation, but he states that the legislation he has in his mind and which he hopes to see enacted will provide for Mir. Hooker and others a far better and more satisfactory rem edy than what MT. Hooker proposes.
