MRS. NACK CONFESSES
SHE APPEARS AS A WITNESS AGAINST
THORN.
Oernmn Ml.lwir.i Wenkon After Flr.t

tlvo but Ilia Hl.iryuf the Oulclrnmippo
Munlnr I Known.
Mrs. Nark yetnrday wont nrn the
stand mid tutiioil State's eviilonra
Bgninst Mnrtin Thorn with whom she
was jointly indicted for the killing of
William UuldonRurpe. The story of
the confession is told in a Now York
dispat'-li as follows:
It is said that Einannol Friend, the
counnol for Augusta Nack, who Is In
die' (1 with Martin Thorn for the mur
der of William Quldensuppe In a cot
tne at WoodHlde, L. I,, telephoned to
the Sun ofllre lnt nluht that Mrs. Nack
had made a confexialon, and that alio
would appear aa a witness for the
State on Thorn's trial.
Mr. Friend waa retained by one of
the city papers to defend Mrs. Nack.
Mr. Friend, at the same hour, be
tween 9 and 10 o'clock at night, sent
word by telephone to the name effect
to District Attorney Youngs, to Will
iam F. Howe, counsel for Thorn, and
to various other persons. JIe linked
District Attorney Youngs to meet him
early this morning at the Long Island
City Court House and said that he
would then furnish Mr. Youngs with
full particulars.
William F. Howe was awakened In
his room at the Park Avcnuo Hotel
about 9.30 by a bellboy, who handed
him a card, upon which was written:
"W. F. Howe Mrs. Nack has con
fessed and will be the first witness for
the State In the morning.
"E. M. FUIRND."
Mr. Howe did not appear perturbed,
and made a statement of what effect
Mrs. Nark's confession would have on
Thorn's chances of acquittal.
"At first 1 was astonished," he said,
"but two minutes' reflection dismissed
my doubt and perturbation. I came to
the conclusion that if Lady Macbeth
killed Duncan she had a perfect right
to uay so, but she lied about when Bho
aid her husband committed the crime.
"I knew, and 'Manny' Friend knew,
that I had ns perfect a case as could
be built. I am utterly at loss to under
stand haw any lawyer could sanction
his client making a confession when
there was such an utter absence of
proof against her. Assuming her Btory
Is true, which I deny as far as It may
Implicate Thorn, there would be no
evidence to prove that she waa more
than an accessory.

Ohio
Seniif orlnl Situation.
Washington, Nov. 10. Senator Fora
l:er arrived here yesterday afternoon
from Cincinnati. He said he thought
most of the disturbance over the Ohio
Henntorshlp was In the Democratic
papers. He continued:
"I do not know a thing about a fight
over the Senatorshlp, except as I see
statements to that effect in the news
papers. I have not talked with Gov.
Kushnell or any of the members-elect
of the General Assembly, directly or
Indirectly, on the subject, and I do not
know what Is contemplated.
Ml I have said to any one Is that.
so far as I am concerned, the campaign
ended on election day. So long as It
was a fight against Democrats, I
spared neither time nor strength. If
there should be a contest among Re
publicans, I shall not have anything to
do with It, If allowed to act according
to my preferences.
Senotor Foraker expects to go to
New York to-night or to-morrow.
SI nst 1'ay Dumnitcs to France.
Chicago, Nov. 10. The World's Co
lumbian Exposition Company must
pay the loss to the French Republic
and French exhibitors caused by the
fire on Jan. 8, 1S94. Such is the opinion
uf Judge Grosscup, handed down yes
terday from the Federal bench. The
fire at the Casino and Peristyle show
ered sparks upon the wooden walk of
the Manufacturers' Ruilding. The
burning timbers fell Into the building
and upon the exhibits of the French
men. The French Republic lost some
fine Beauvals and gobelin tapestry and
two magnllleent Sevres vases, made
for ornaments at tho entrance to the
Chamber of Deputies. The Iobh amount,
ed to about seventy-five thousucJ dol
lars.

WADE HAMPTON'S LAST REPORT.
ow Water Mnrk of Itnllvrny llnllil-
Intt Kenelipil I.nut Year.
Wnshlnaton, Nov. 10. Ilefore Gen.
Wade Hampton retired from the office
f Commissioner of Railroads he filed
ith Secretary Rllss his annual report
for the year ended on Sept. SO which
as Just been made public. He notes
hat the long period of depression In
railroad business reached Its loweat
point In 1S!6, when the falling off In
nssenger traffic and demoralization
n frrlght rates, together with the de-
rease In volume of business, most se
riously nfTected the earnings.
The low water mark," the Commis
sioner continues, "was reached In rail
way construction, and during the year
thirty-four roads, with 6,441 miles of
road, passed into the hands of the
ourts, and fifty-eight others, which
had been previously placed In receiv
ers' hands, were sold at foreclosure."
Regarding the settlement of the Union
Faclflc debt, Gen. Hampton says:
I have. In each one of my previous
reports, recommended the adjustment
of the Indebtedness of the Pacific rail
roads to the Government through the
medium of a commission to be ap-
olnted by the President, and It has al
ways seemed to me that a settlement
more advantageous to the Government
could be obtained If all the compan
ies, particularly the Union ond Cen-
ral Pacific, could be negotiated with
t the some time, and possibly In the
ame way, than could be accomplished
by settling with them at different
times and on a different basis. I am
not disposed, however, to question the
wisdom of the course pursued by the
Department of Justice In the case of
the Union Pacific Railway, and viewed
from a financial standpoint. It would
seem to be about the best thing for the
Government to do under the circum
stances. The main objections which
ave been urged against this method
f settlement have come from strong
advocates of Government ownership,
or of operation under Government su
pervision. I have always regarded
this as not only a doubtful, but a dan
gerous experiment, which would In
volve the Government in enormous ex
pense and would In all probability re-
ult disastrously."
IN LEAGUE WITH SATAN.
Murderer Make ThU AntonUhlnB
I'Iru (or Defenne.
rov N. II., Nov. 10. His compact
with Putan was witnessed by a clergy
man, Joseph K. Kelly Bald yesterday.
when his trial for the murder of Cash-
er Joseph A. Stlckney, of the Great
Falls National Rank, In Somersworth,
began before the Supreme Court.
This astonishing statement, upon
which the defense will base a plea of
nsunlty, was made to tho prisoner's
counsel, James Ryau, Jr., of this place.
Kver since I was 11 years old," he
has said, "Satan has been my constant
companion. And the agreement with
him will not run out until January 15,
ISM. I will be 25 years old then. My
first act under the agreement was to
steal a watch, and I was Impelled to
deeds worse anil worse until I killed
the old man In the doorway of his bank
and took all the money In sight."
Many Insanity experts have been re
tained by the defense, and a doctor
who treated Kelly for some Injury to
the head years ago has been subpoe
naed as a witness.
A LAND OF SKELETONS. ,
Famine Iteducea Men to Uence in
Archangel.
St. Petersburg, Nov. 10. A terrible
famine Is ravaging the Province of
Archangel, a Government of European
Russia, In the extreme north, extend-
ng from the Ural Mountain on tne
east to Finland on the west. Many
have already died of starvation.
The neoole wander about, reducea al
most to skeletons, their heads swollen
to the size of buckets. Tea ! the only
means of subsistence.
The Province of Archangel has an
area of nearly two hundred and ninety
thousand square miles, but It Is one
continuous flat and almost an unvaried
scene of desolation, especially in tne
most northern parts, where the ground
remains frozen nine montns in uie
year.
Almost the only crops raiseu. are
hemp, flax, potatoes ana some rye,
neither the climate nor the soil admit
ting of the cultivation of oats or wheat.
The timber forms tne principal weaiin.
in suite of these unfavorable conai-
tlons, the province has a population of
about three hundred thousand souls.
