A complication of ailments, with
Brights disease underlying, brought
the multi-millionaire' life to close
after weeks of suffering. The stormy
career of the traction magnate of two
hemispheres, made up of a mixture of
shadows and successes-a romance OF
financial triumphs and bitter battles
for social prestige illuminated in a
deathbed scene made additionally ira
gle by the note of domestic discord.
Although nominally a New Yorker
for the last eight years, Mr. Yerkes
had spent much Of his time in London,
where he had successfully launched
and engineered one of the most stupen-
dous urban transportation projects the
metropolis has known. For twenty
years Or more Chicago was his home,
and it was in Chicago that he garner
ed the fortune which made possible
his achievements.

PRISON FOR SEVEN.

GiIhoO1ey and Six Associates Sem
fenced in Chicago.
Prison for sluggers and for men who
hire them was the laws decree Friday
in Chicago after a trial that in many Of
its aspects has been unprecedented in
the history of the city's courts. Charles
Gilhooley, head and front Of the slug
gers brought to light through the killing
of Chris j. Carlstrom in a slugging cpl
side, not only received a prison sentence
with one of his strong-armed associates
and five members of the crowd that hired
him, but he was fined in addition. Gil
hooley was given the limit of the law
from one to five years in prison and q
$4,000 fine, which amounts to more than
eight years Imprisonment.
Peculiar significance attaches to the
proceeding, which has been known all
along as 'the Gilhooley case" through
the fact that it is the first case in which
members of a union and hired sluggers
ever have been tried jointly under the
conspiracy law of Illinois. The conspir-
acy charged lay in an agreement by Off
GERS Of Carriage and Wood Workers
Union No. 4 to procure assaults on vio-
iators of strike orders. The trial con-
sumed 1O2 calendar days and cost the
State approximately $4,000 and estab-
lished new record as to the length Of
time required to secure a jury.

CHAPTER X.-(Cont:aued)

NC'--~H''NA~-''
The red lips parted, and the blue
eyes, brighter than ever, stared vacant
ly around. The sound of her fathers
voice seemed to have reused her. for she
began to speak little prayer: "God
bless papa and mamma, and God bless
all on board this ship. God bless me,
and make me good girl, for Jesus Christ S
sake, our Lord. Amen"
The sound of the unconscious child S
simple prayer had something awesome
in it, and John Vickers, who not ten
minutes before would have sealed his
own death warrant unhesitatingly to pre-
serve the safety of the vessel, felt his
eyes fill with unwonted tears. The CON
trast was curious. From out the midst
of that desolate ocean-in a fever-sm1t-
ten prison ship, leagues from land, sur
rounded by ruffians, thieves and MUIR
derers-the baby voice of an innocent
child called confidently on heaven.
Two hours afterward-as the Mala-
bar, escaped from the peril which had
menaced her. plunged cheerily through
the ripping water-the mutineers, by
their spokesman, Mr.. James Vetch, con-
fessed:
'"They were very sorry, and hoped
that their breach of discipline would be
forgiven. 1t was the fear of the typhus
which had driven them to it. They had
no accomplices either in the prison or
out of it, but they felt it but right to
say that the man who had planned the
mutiny was Rufus Dawes"
The malignant cripple had guessed
from whom the information which had
led to the failure Of the plot had been
derived, and this was his characteristic
revenge.
Extracted from the Hobart Town
Courier:
''The examination of the prisoners
who were concerned in the attempt upon
the Malabar was concluded on Tuesday
last. The four ringleaders, Dawes, Cab
bett, Vetch and Sanders, were condemn
ed to death; but we understand that, by
the clemency of his eXcellency the gov
ernor, their sentence has been commut-
ed to six years at the penal settlement
of Macquare Harbor."

court here today Benjamin Large se-
cured verdict of $1,000 against the
Iowa Central Railway Company for the
death Of his little daughter last Mo-
vember. Large sued for $1,999, an

case being appealed or taken to the
federal court. The case has been on
trial for several days, and went to the
jury late yesterday. In the night they
returned a sealed verdict, which was
opened and read in court this morn
ing. The accident out of which the
suit grew occurred within the city

Large had gone across the tracks from
his home to water the family COW. His
little daughter just able to walk fol-
lowed him. She had been playing with
other children and he did not know she
was following him or attempting to
GROSS the track. A freight train ap-
preached and according to testimony
was running at about twenty miles an
hour. an unlawful speed within the
town limits. The little girl was run

rested In its case in the whistler mur-
der trial at Bloomfield, and the de-
tense is now introducing evidence to
show that whistler shot Ogden in self

Of Whistler, testified that on April 10
he went with Whistler to Bloomfield,
where the latter had a photograph TAX

tion. It is hinted that Mrs. Whistler,
the defendants wife, will take the
stand in her husbands behalf.

the bereaved ones. The flowers were

young men were returning home from

lightning either killed or stunned them
