RICH LAWYERS BODY FOUND
H. p. Buffers Remains Yielded Up by
Hudson River.

New York, oct 25..-For eight days
and nights the family and many
friends of Henry Prescott Butler, a
prominent lawyer and well known
member of the Union League club,
searched secretly every nook of the
park along Riverside drive to find
trace of the man who left his home at
116 West Eighty-eighth street on the
afternoon of Oct. II.
The search has ended by the finding
of his body floating in the North river
off Ninety-siXth street by William Kel-
ly, who brought it ashore and called a
policeman. 1t is supposed Butler was
seized with heart failure when sitting
on the end of pier and fell into the
river.
For three or four weeks he had been
very ill with asthma and heart trou-

A Spanish Ship Treasure.

In 1862 the largest bulk of treasure

to the Active without an action, and
the treasure was landed at Portsmouth

Berry as a Bryanite.

1--WE must recognize in Mr.. Berry
the only conspicuous representative Of
Mr.. Bryan and his policies now before
the people of this state. To every pol.
icy advocated by the Nebraskan he
has given loyal allegiance. But Mr..
Bryan has practically ceased to be
figure of national importance, and this
is due to the fact that all of his so.
called policies have been defeated and
repudiated by the American people.

so do | believe Pennsylvania will re-.
fuse to give his lieutenant, Mr.. Berry.
the support he asks. His speeches
upon the stump create sincere doubt
as to his soundness and safety, and
the belief arises that he is not fitted,
either by temperament or judgment,
to preside over the destinies of this
great commonwealth. There is an alb
sence of self-poise, OF self-control in
his speech, and of good temper, which
are essential to the great responsibili-
ties of a chief magistrate.
Wide latitude is permitted In the
arena of political discussion, but sure
ly Mr. Berry has passed the danger
limit, and, as a result, we find the air
filled with confusing explanations OF
his business relations with leading
Democratic politician, none of which
seem to be borne out by the facts, and
this is followed by an Incorporate de-
nunciation of the public press with,
out exception. He not only condemns
it as destitute of patriotism and vir
tue, but proceeds to pass judgment
upon all the newspaper men of the
state, and without mercy joyfully con
signs them to be burned at the stake.

Jury Penalties.

Nowadays no penalty is enforced
when the twelve men chosen to form
the jury are unable to agree upon a
verdict. Formerly, however re-
fractory juryman was committed to
prison and the verdict of the eleven
was taken. In the reign Of King Ed
ward III. the judges decided that a
verdict given by a majority was a
nullity and recommended that the
judges should carry the jury about
with them in a cart till they should
agree. The old custom that jurors
should fast until they had agreed In
their verdict prevailed long, but was
mercifully relaxed somewhat in Tu-
dor times, and during Queen Eliza
beth's reign a banquet was usually
given to the jury by the successful
party to suit.-St. Paul Pioneer

CAsSAMICCI0LA DESTROYED.
Italian City Swept by Flood-Many
Victims.


Naples, Oct 25.-The mayor of Cas-
samicciola telegraphs the prefect of
police here that Cassamicciola has
been destroyed, as was fOrecasted in
earlier dispatches. The telegram adds
that there are many victims and that
help is urgently needed. AS a result
of this plea the government has sent IA
fleet of warshlps, consisting of three
battleships and four cruisers, with in
structiOns to hurry to the scene of the
disaster with all provisions and food
available. Troops also have been hur
ried to the stricken city.
Later advices indicate that the hotels
at CassamicciOla are empty owing to
the prevalence Of cholera at Naples
and that the damage, owing to cloud
burst and flood, Is confined 10 the de-
struction of a few wooden houses
which are occupied by peasants. The

"BIG TINS" BAD BILL.
The Sullivan Banking Act Is Declared
Unconstitutional.

New York, Oct. 25.-Judge Blur in
special term of the supreme court
signed an order presented by an at
torney for James Lee, a curb broker,
declaring the private bankers act un-

injunction restraining the attorney

Strong Words For Tener.

What we need in the high office of
governor and the other Offices to be
filed in this election is calmness, not
impulsiveness. a judgment of men and
affairs that is broadened and ripened
by experience-a just conception of
the powers of government, keen and
sympathetic appreciation of the rights
of the citizen, and a comprehensive
idea of the manifold interests and ele-
ments that enter into the complex life
of this great commonwealth. Above
all, we need a man safe and sure, and
the Republican party has risen equal
to the demand.
I'VE have named as the candidate
for governor a man with a true heart
with a sound brain in a sound body,
who has toiled in the workshop and in
the mills and is in strong and lasting
sympathy with labor; who step by step
moved forward and identified himself
with the business enterprises OF his
section, where he has attained a posi-.
ton which commands the undivided
respect of those who love honesty RnG
represented his district in the con.
gress of the United States ably and
faithfully; whose reputation for integ.
rity is of the highest, and whose Re.
publicanism has always been of the
right kind; who is in accord and sym.
pathy with the policies Of the Stuart
administration, and who ha5 promised
the people that when governor he will
esteem it a privilege and duty to con.
duct the state government in accord
Rnce with those policies. No man who
knows him will doubt his word or will
believe that his promise will remain
unredeemed have the honor to know
him personally, and | appreciate MIN
as a man Of high ideals-pure in
thought and speech and unchallenged
in public or private life. The election
of the Hon. John K. Tener is assured.

BLOWS UP A SCHOONER.
Cargo of Gasoline ExpIodes in San
Juan Harbor.

San Juan, p. r., July 20.-The
American marines at the naval station
here had lively time today with a
cargo of gasoline that in turn blew UP
a coastwise schooner and all but
burned up the naval station.
The vessel bound for Ponce with one
thousand five gallon cans of oil, was
moving out of the harbor when an
explosion in the hold blew most of her
load into the water and, setting the
craft afire, forced the crew to jump
overheard. One of the sailors was in
jured.
The first excitement over, the ma
rines attempted to salvage the gaso-
line and by dint of hard work recov-
cred many of the cans. These were
placed on the naval station wharf
where presently a second explosion oc-
CURED and the quarters of the marines
were wrapped in flames. The marines
manned the pumps and finally saved
the buildings from destruction.

HARVEST HAND SEASON.
Police Having Trouble to Tell Real
From Bogus LabOrers.

This is the season when the harvest
hand is abroad in the land and he
wanders through Topeka in every di-
rection in such numbers that he at
tracts a lot of attention from the po-
lice; more attention in fact than IS
necessary to his own comfort. The DO
lice like and respect the honest harvest
hand. They want to meet him and
show him attentions and make sure
that his pedigree is all right, for some
time one has to look twice and then
look again to tell the difference be-
tween the true harvest hand and the
genus hobo.
Patrolmen Matthews and Jackson
understand this. Indeed they realize
more plainly now than ever before that
it is only a narrow line which divides
the harvest hand (theoreticaD from the
hobo (genuine). For it was only this
morning that they investigated five
specimens and went to a lot of trouble
doing it, They sighted the five on the
Union Pacific tracks bearing westward.
They coppers hoisted signal to stoI
but the five harvesters steamed up.
The coppers followed. At the city linn
its they were going fine 1t was two
miles I'D the railroad that the har-
vesters reefed sail and stopped. Then
the whole procession came back to
town and the patrol wagon brought the
consignment to the police station II

wind and called the police headquar-

morning and subsequently started to-

that the child had too much liberty and
sometimes annoyed neighbors and there
was an intimation that the foster par
