CROWDS GATHER EARLY
Few Permits Were Issued to Witness
the Hanging.

Windsor, Vt. Dec s.-For the second
time this town is crowded with strang
ers who have sought the vicinity Of the
death scene of Mary Mabel Rogers,
whose execution was set for the hour
between noon and o'clock today. Few
received permits to actually witness the
hanging.
Hope for the condemned woman was
practically abandoned early today. The
sherifr's deputy chosen TO spring the
trap arrived during the night and con-
cluding arrangements were promptly
made. Awaiting Governor Bells arrival
at 0 o'clock this morning at White
River Junction, a few miles north of
here, was Mrs. Rogers attorney ready
TO make the final plea in her behalf.

Portland, Dec. s.-United States Sen
ator John Hipple Mitchell is dead.
The end came at 1880 today, at the
Good Samaritan hospital
The direct ausc OF death was vio-
lent hemorrhage, the result Of having
four teeth extracted yesterday, Owing
10 the profuse lo@s Of blood, the Sen
ator's constitution was unable TO with.

weakened BY diabetes and the mental
work under which he had struggled
for months. lie lost consciousness at
3 o'clock last night, ut which time dia'
bette coma set in, and from that hour
until the end the veteran statesman
never again came to his senses. Blood.
poisoning allied itself with his other
Affections to hasten death.
An heroic struggle was made by at.
tanding physicians to save the patient,
but even the use of powerful injec-
tions hiled. Senator Mitchell himself
however, made no effort TO aid his at.
tendants in the fight, and appeared will
ing to relinquish his hold on the life
that has been filled with so much
trouble during the past year.
But for his weight Of 20 years, to.
gether with his mental state, the Sen
ator could have withstood the sudden
loss of blood Even with the complica.
tions which attacked him, the remark
able vitality Of the man battled against
odds, and he lived longer by many hours
than the physicians expected when they
realized the seriousness Of his case last
evening.
When stricken no member of the Sen.
ator's family was in the city, Colonel
d. NJ. Dunno, a close personal friend Of
Senator Mitchell, hurried to the bedside
and held vigil with the "orps Of physi.
clans through the night.
From the time the Senator was taken
to the hospital yesterday afternoon he
began to sink rapidly, and after the
physicians had succeeded in checking
the hemorrhagc, signs of blood poison
ing appeared The symptoms manifested
themselves first at his lower extnmities
and then in his hands. Weakened and
distressed, in body and mind, the Sen.
ator failed TO rally materially in re-
Spouse to the hypcrdomic injections ad.
ministered and when another excessive
hemorrhage during the night clotted his
lungs all hope was abandoned.
Hour after hour Senator MitchelPs
breathing became more labored, and dis
solutions manifested itself After s
o'clock last night he failed TO recog.
nize those about him, even though an
occasional lapse into consciousness was
momentary.
All afternoon the doctors worked with
saline solutions. Repeated hemorrhages
throughout the afternoon still further
weakened the patient, and toward night
fall he sank into stupor from which
there was no revival, except for still
further hemorrhages.

by the council Mayor Joe Williams

construction many vacancies exist.

people to fill them.
Their contention IL based on the
fact that the constitution Of the state
Of Illinois provides for dual action on
the part OF the governor and the gen
ate in making these appointments
The single action of either alone Is
not enough. Just before Governor
Yates quit office he sent to the senate
| for confirmation list Of eighty-twc
appointments to salaried offices, ant
sixteen to trusteeships in various state
institutions. The appointments wer'
made during the legislative vacation
