linutes longer. James A. Blanohard
resided at the meeting, and in
atroducing Mr. Foraker said of him:
'He is a man who has no love in his heart
jr the rebel." Mr. Foraker took up the

Blaine Furs In Another Quiet Day,
Ex-Secretary of State James O. Blaine
ient a restful day to-day at the Fifth
venue Hotel. He had a number of callers,
id the general situation of the Republican
rnpaign In the nation was discussed. Mrs.
aine arrived at the hotel this evening.
ExCongressman William Guenther, of
isconsin, was at Repnblican headquarters
Jay, and said regarding the situation in
e Northwest: "Wisconsin is safe for the
tpublicans, and we will carry the State by

West Virginia Needs Protection.
V. D. Dolliver, brother of Congressman
Dolliver, of Iowa, has just returned from
West Virginia, where he spent three weeks
speech making, and very carefully looked
over the ground. He said to-day regarding
the condition of affairs there. "All the in
dustries of West Virginia need protection.
Xearly all the products are raw material,
and for that and other reasons the
sturdy yeomanry of that State are
solid for the Republican ticket,
because they are confident that the future
prosperity of the State depends upon the
success of the ticket and the application of
the principles which it espouses. The ftate
Committee is now confident of securing
three of the four Congressmen, and the
only trouble is in the Second district "
Kansas was represented to-day by Gen
eral W. W. Guthrie, who said, among
other things: "If the Democrats andPop
ulbts could have effected complete fusion
the result in Kansas might have been in
doubt, but their attempt was 'a' signal fail
ure, and Republican success is sure. One
third of the Democrats refused to support
the State ticket and Republicans regard
their act as one of bad faith.
Turning From the Weaver Ranks.
"The result of the Georgia election has
had a bad effect on the hopeful Populists,
and will turn many of them from the
Weaver ranks. From sow on Repnblican
orators will swarm all over the State and
accomplish much good. Only two of the
Congressional districts are in doubt"
One noticeabte feature in New York City
is the vigorous awakening of the German
speaking Republicans, and through their
efforts the organization of clubs among
those who are not familiar with our lan
guage. All the districts are represented in
an organization known as the "German
Republican Citizens' Organization of New
York." It is headed by men high in
social and business life of the
city, and its object is to bring ont the full
German vole. The influence this organiza
tion will ave upon the many Germans
not speaking English is obvious, as many
oi tnese people are now earnest supporters
of the various clubs who did not
care to associato themselves with
English-speaking organizations tor
obvious reasons. They are all earnest Re
publicans and opposed' to Democratic rule
chiefly on account of the effect it would
have upon business generally. The cir
cular issued to them by the parent organi
zations dwells strongly upon this point
and meets with general Indorsement and
approval.
Gdssip From Democratic Headquarters.
At Democratic headquarters much talk
has been indulged in over the proposed
colonization of certain portions of New
York City, and particularly the interior of
the State, with colored voters. The scheme
is ascribed to Dave Martin ana
his associates. Chairman Harritv, in
speaking of the matter, said in
substance: '-Regarding New York City
the Dist-ict Attorney and Inspector Byrnes
win De iuny prepared to give all such
comers a warm reception, and in the coun
try districts we have taken every precau
tion, and I am assured illegal voting will
be reduced to a minimum. We are fully
prepared."
WHAT JIEXSEL DID SAY.
Ho Declares Ho Didn't Accuse the Presi
dent or Buying Votes Hlmseir.
Ii-MJCASTEE, .Pa., Oct 18. Attorney
General Hcnsel, who is reported to have
asserted in a speech at Newark, N.J., last
night, that four years ago President Har
rison personally superintended the purchase
of 20,000 votes in Indiana, and that he
could prove the assertion, this afternoon
denied the correctness o( the report
"What I did say," he added, "was that I
believed wo would win this election, and
the victory was not to be stolen.away from
us as it u as in 1STG, nor bought away from
us as in 1883. Fonr years ago," he added,
"the President's own State of Indiana was
carried for him and his party by the most,
shameless corruptions. I speak by the book
(pointing to some extracts trom the Demo
cratic campaign text book on the table), for
there, over thefsignature of the President's,
trusted irieud, W. W. Dudley, is a copy of
the instructions he issued to divide the
floaters into 'blocks of five' and to buy
them.
, ".Nor are we at anv loss to know where
the money came from, for Mr. Wanamaker
has admitted that Quav sent for him, that
he raised more than $250,000, and that he
did not insist on knowing how It was spent
With that and like corruption funds, 20,000
voters in Indiana were debauched, and I
speak advisedly of every movement of the
canvass there. Mr. Harrison had cogni
zance, and it was under his immediate su
perintendence and control. If anybody
thinks this accusation is actionable, let the
United States Attorney of this district take
hold of it and I will be" glad to prove it" -
DEMOCRATS DISAPPOINTED.
TlieyFallto Make a Point They Insisted
Upon in Minnesota.
St. Paul, Oct 1& In the District Court
to-day Judge Brill announced his decision
in the mandamus proceedings brought by
tbe Democratic State Committee to com
pel Secretary of State Brown to get up the
fusion electors in a different way lrom what,
he had announced. The decision was that
the court had no jurisdiction in the case and
the case was dismissed.
It is not known what steps, if anv, will
be determined upon. It is conceded that
the ballot as prepared by the Secretary of
State under the law is confusing on the four
fusion electors, as they are not grouped to
gether, but are scattered among the other
Populist electors, the five straight Demo
cratic electors being left by themselves.
Magce's Effective "Work In Alabama.
WASIIIXGTOK, Oct 18. Special C. L.
Magee is expected in Washington to-morrow,
on his way to Pittsburg from Ala
bama. Senator Pugh, of that State, left
Washington this evening for his home.
Before leaving he said he had no doubt of
Democratic success in Alabama, but ilr.
Magee had been doing some very effective
work, and to offset it the Democrats would
have to put in the hardest kind of work
from now until election day.
Mrs. Lease Calls Down a Roorback.
Kew York, Oct. 18. The Times prints
the following telegram from Mrs. Lease:
"The special goingthe rounds of-the press
in regard to au interview in which I am re
ported to have advised the Populists to
vote for Harrison, -or that a vote for Weaver
was a vote for Cleveland, is unqualifiedly
false. I would consider it a public calam

AX OVATION FOR M'KINLEY.
Republicans of Wheeling; Torn Ont In Large
Numbers to Hear the Eminent Tariff
Exponent Pittsburg; Plays an Important
Part In the Parade.
WHCEtDfO, W. Va., Oct 18. This was
Republican day in Wheeling, and the
greatest demonstration that has been wit
nessed here since 1884, when James G.
Blaine took in Wheeling while making his
famous circuit, was participated in by
manr thousands of people. Governor Mc
Kinley, of Ohio, was the orator of the day.
He came up from Huntiggton this morning
on a special train, and was greeted on the
State fair grounds by a crowd of 10,000
people.
When the Governor arrived he was given
a great ovation. The demonstration was
inter-State in its character. Uniformed
clubs were present from all surrounding
towns in Pennsylvania, Ohio and West
Virginia, among the most prominent being
the famous Six-Footers, the Americus' and
the Conkling, of Pittsburg; the General
Club, of Alleghenv; the Eleventh Ward,
Fourteenth Ward and Tariff Cadets, of
Pittsburg; the Grand Army, Great Western
and other Pittsburg bands; and clubs from
Claysville, MoKeesport, Allegheny, Wash
ington, Pa.; Youngstown, Canton, Massil
lon, East Liverpool, Wellsburg, Bellaire,
Martin'a Ferry, and other points in Ohio.
J.ne grand stand was one mass of people,
and all about the stand from which tbe dis
tinguished orator spoke crowds of men
stood in the hot sun and heard Republican
doctrine expounded by one of its eminent
exponents. When Governor McKinley and
his escort arrived on the ground, the faint
echo of the band in the distance caused a
cheer, and when the gallant Governor hove
in sight at tbe gates of 'the ring a great
cheer rent the air. When he drove between
long lines of the handsomely uniformed es
cort clubs, he bowed again and again in
response to the great ovation tendered him.
As he ascended the platform, which was
erected in front of the grand stand, another
cheer broke forth.
Governor McKinley's remarks were con
fined to a discussion of the State banks and
tariff questions, and were received with
great enthusiasm. To-night (he clubs above
mentioned paraded the street Five thousand
men were in line, with lots of music, red
fire and rockets.
HASTINGS FBIEHDS ALARMED
Over an Alleged Scheme to Set Tip Guber
natorial Fins for General Seeder.
Philadelphia, Oct. ia Special
General Daniel H. Hastings friends are
alarmed at the peculiar activity now dis
played at Republican State headquarters
respecting the Legislative districts. They
affect'to believe that there is a special ap
propriation of the funds being made entirely
In the interest of Mr. Quay, and declare
that the money now going out only finds its
way to districts where the candidates are
outspoken Quay men. They also assert
that much of the work now going on is
in tbe interest of General Reeder as
a candidate for tho Gubernatorial
nomination, two years hence, and against
Hastings. This scheme was substantially
brought to light to-day, in a letter received
from & S. Woods, County Chairman of
Mifflin, whose brother. J. M. Woods, is the
Republican candidate for the Senate in the
Perry-Mifllin-Juniata district
FOR ARBITRATION.
Episcopalians Declare Against Rations

They Select. Denver as the Next Place
of Meeting -The Session Aboot Ended.
Balmmqeb, Oct 18. Right Rev. Davis
Tessums, Bishop of Louisiana, conducted
the religious exercises opening the twelfth
day of the session of the Episcopal Gen
eral Convention. President Dix announced
to the House of Deputies that under
the rules no new business coald be
taken up after to-day except by
a two-thirds vote of the House
Rev. Dr. Elliott, of Maryland, presented
a resolution and a petition to be addressed
to the various "governments in favor of ar
bitration of international divisions.
It was adopted. Upon motion, the report
of the committee on the plan of holding
the next general convention was" taken up.
Alter stirring arguments had been made in
favor of Minneapolis and Denver, the latter
city was selected by a large majority. The
following is the petition in the interest of
arbitration which the Honse of Deputies
to-day adopted, to be addressed to the sev
eral governments of the Christian nations
of the world: "
Tho Protestant Episcopal Church of the
United States or America wishes you gray,
merry and peace. We, In co-operation with
other Christian bodies, humbly memorialize
you as tbe guardians of your people, in be
half of peaceful arbitration as a means
of settling questions that arise between
nations. The spectacle that Is presented
of Christian nations facing each other
with heavy armaments, preparatory to go to
war and settle their differences by blood
shed Is, to say the least, a blot npon the fair
name of Christian. We cannot contemplate
without the deepest sorrow the horrors of
war, involving the sacrifioe or human life
that should be held sacred, bitter distress in
nlany households, the destruction of valu
able property, the hindering of education
and religion, and a general demoralizing of
tbe people.
"Moreover, the maintaining or a heavy,
war foree. though war be averted, witn.
diaws multitudes from their homes nnd tbe
useful pursuits of peace, ond imposes a
heavy tax upon the people lor the support
And lurther, let It bo borne in mind that
wars do not settle disputes between nations'
on principle of right and justice, but upon
the barbarous principle of tho triumph of
tbe strongest
"We are encouraged to urge this cause
upon your consideration by the fact that
muoh has been accomplished, as, for ex
ample, by 'the arbitration of Genoa in tbe
Alahamaease, and by. the deliberateness of
tbe American conference at Washington,not
to mention other cases, It will be
a happy day for the world when all
International disputes find peaceful
solutions, and this we earnestly seek. As to
the method of accomplishing this end we
make no suggestions, but leave that to
your, superior intelligence and wisdom ill
matters of State pollcv. "We invoke upon
the people the richest blessings of the
Prince of Peace."

f SPECIAL TELEGBAJt TO TOE DtSPATCn.
-Chicago, Oct ia The most important
period in the history of the Columbian Ex
position Is at" handVi Beginning with to
morrow and c ntinuing until Saturday
afternoon the people of this city are to cele
brate tbe anniversary of the discovery of
America. On Friday the huge structures
now well in hand at Jackson Park will be
dedicated for the purpose for which
they were erected. Since Saturday
morning the leading .hotels have
been filling up so rapidly that to-night
every room is engaged. Hundreds of cots
are occupied, and the keepers of small
hotels and boarding houses are catching an
overflow that is pleasing to behold.
It is a crowd that has come to see and to
ask questions, but, more than all else, it
wants to be amused. Chicago now' has its
opportunity to prepare the way for next
summer. If the people who have come
here to attend the dedication of the Fair
buildings go away pleased with the treat
ment they receive at the' hands of their
hosts, the advertised hope of the Fair
Managers for gate receipts amounting to
10,000,000 may not go unrealized.
It was not a little unlucky that to-day,
on which some of the most important peo
ple who are to take part In the ceremonies
were to arrive, should have been stormy.
Rain fell all day long. The streets were
slippery, the air was warm and humid and
the sky so dark that artificial lights were
needed in all but the best lighted rooms.
Moreover, the decorations of the building
looked bedraggled in all cases and in some
were rendered hideous. Nevertheless,
matters might have been worse in this re
spect Promises for a Good Week.
The weather man says it will clear up to
night and get cold,' and there will be no
rain in Chicago until after the World's Fair
has been dedicated. Having good weather
to start with, the visitors to Chicago will
have no trouble in finding enough amuse
ment during the week if they will only
look for it Tbe people, here have de
termined to furnish ihe amusement and
they are 'sure tcr succeed, if not one way
then in another. There will be plenty of
fnn that is-not downon the programme.
For two days no one has done so much to
keep the people here from ennui as General
lilies, wno will nave enarge or tne great
parades of Thursday and Friday. Some
people are angry at General Miles',, bnt, on
the whole, many more are amused. The
General allowed the people of Chicago and
elsewhere to suppose that something like
8,000 infantry and cavalry and 10,000
or more militia were to form a
part of the grand parade on Friday. This
parade was to start at the Auditorium and
march eight miles up Michigan avenne and
the Grand Boulevard and through Washing
Park and to Jackson Park, terminating at
the Manufacturers' building, where Henry
Watterson is to deliver the great oration.
The spectacle of such a vast body of trained
soldiers was something to which Chicago
was not accustomed.
Want to See tho Military.
The householders along the route of march
proceeded to erect stands and rent windows
and make other preparations for tbe grand
event Then came General Miles with an
order saying that the military would'
join the procession after it had ar
rived at Washington Park. The
grand parade of the great day of the
dedication ceremonies will consist of. sav
300 carriages, each containing three or four
gentlemen dressed, as a rule, in black and
wearing tall silk hats, the whole looking
like a luneral procession.
No sooner did the people read that order
than one prolonged groau of protestation
arose. It started in Michigan avenue and
spread all over the city. The news
papers took it up. The Herald headed
an editorial on the subject "Friday's Fiz
zle," and wanted to know "what are the
troops to be brought to Chicago for if they
are not to take part in the parade on Michi
gan avenue?" Other newspapers talked in
similar strains. The excuse made was that
the troops oould not cover the distance in
the time allowed and get to the grounds in
time for tbe dedication exercises.
The General, however, was obdurate. The
soldiers will join the parade at Washing
ton Park, but it is likely that thev will nar-
ade on Michigan avenue on Saturday night
to give folks a chance to see what they can
do. If they do it will be a chance worth
improving, for the regulars include some
of the' best in the-country.
A Jangle In the Reception.
Another jangle has developed m the
grand reception to be given to . distin
guished guests at the Auditorium. Mr.
Hobart Cbatfield Taylor is the Ward Mc
Allister of Chicago, and Mr. Taylor is in a
real nuster. He sent out thousands of invi
tations to distinguished people.and then sold
as many tickets as he had sent invitations,
On Monday tbe invited and those
who had purchased tickets came for their
seat numbers, ana it was found there were
10,000'applicauts, although the Auditorium
seats but 4,200. Then Cook county has a
Board of Commissioners, and .they were-not
invited to take part in the' processions of
carriages on Friday. However, the most
serious matter is that of the overcrowded
ball. People will be of a most good nature'd
temperament if they enjoy that in any way.
' The preparations for the civio parade of
JThuridar are said to be complete. The
Indian boys from Carlisle will hold the'
procession. Vice President Morton arrived
at 9:40 this morning; also many Governors
and staffs from various States. Governor
Flower attracted more attention than any
other guest arriving in town to-day,
not excepting the Vice President.
The decorating of tbe city has only
Just been begun, but State and other busi
ness streets are in a flutter of red, white and
bine, with a liberal display ot liver and
lard. On the whole this is likely to be a
proud week for Chicago. The energy of her
builders in preparing the houses
for the Fair will be made
manifest The hospitality of the people
will be emphasized, and a foretaste of the
bewildering display of next summer will
be had. The traneers will learn some
thing about the ways of a whooping town,
ana unicago'win learn py experience what
to do next time.

AFTER THE READING.
Supplementary Information Filed In
Jersey The Prices of Coal Under the
Combine to Be Looked Into A Re
straining Order Asked For.
Tbenton, N. J., Oct ia This afternoon
Attorney General Stockton filed a supple
mentary information against the Central
Railroad Company of New Jersey, which is
a printed document of many pages,
and which recited the conditions
under which former informations
had been filed against the Central,
Port Reading and Reading Company ia the
Reading deal affair. It further shows that
the price of coal on or about July 1, 1892,
had been raised from 10 to 15 per cent, and
on September 1, 1892, the Philadelphia and
Reading and the New Jersey Central
raised the price of eg? and stove coal about
25 per cent, and he asked the Chancellor to
further direct that this company must not
further advance the price of coat
The prayer of the information is that the
railroad company shall be obliged under
seal to give facts as to the increase in the
price of coal, and that the Philadelphia
and Reading and Central Railroad com
panies may be restrained from
further continuing to maintain the
advance for coal and for its transportation,
and that the Central also be restrained from
operating its road at any advanced prices
andjrates, and for so long a time as it con
tinues to maintain the prices and rates or
any other arbitrary Increase in the price of
coal.
At the Reading Offices in Philadelphia
the suit excited no alarm whatever. It
was held that it would be impos
sible for the Jersey Central to lower or
raise the price of coal; because that company
did not own any oal and was simply a
common carrier. It was thought that the
move was for political purposes, intended
to have some effect on the coming election.
M'KINLEY'S CAR STONED.
An Ineffectual Attempt to Injure Him In
West Virginia.
Huktisotos-, W. Va., Oct ia
Special A dastardly attempt to injnre
Governor McKinley was made late last
night at Harrison, a station midway be
tween Huntington and Charlestown. There
had been threats made that put the Gov
ernor's party on theirgnard while the train
was at the station, and his friends were'
glad when the train started to pull out.
But before it got under way a boulder
crashed through the window of the private
car next to tbe seat occupied by the Gov
ernor, who was showered with tbe broken
glass. Tbe seat In which the missile
landed on the other side bf the car was. for
tunately unoccupied. Before the crash of
flying glass Mas over another stone shat
tered a window two seats further back, fol
lowed by a regular volley. Five of the
projectiles got through the car windows,
but no one was hit The attacking party
fled in the darkness, and under the circum
stances the train was not held to urge a pur
suit The local authorities have the case
and the matter has been kept rather quiet
until to-night

was reached at a conference of the prin
cipal local officers of thev order and the
Parade Committee at the tomple this after
noon. The general committee in charge
ot the parade had announced that there
would be restrictions placed upon the char
acter of the flags or ensigns to be displayed
by the organizations participating. In
fact, there seemed to be a desire that the
flags ot all nations should appear.
To this the L O. O. F' through its repre
sentatives, objected. They declared they
would only mareh under the flag of the
United States. The Parade Committee re
fused to rescind its action at the confer
ence, and the Odd Fellows finally with
drew. , The Odd Fellows will probably
make an independent demonstration.

Sabail arrived in this country aboard the
City of New York on September a She
had with her a trunk full of expensive
dresses. She declared that they were in
tended for her own adornment The num
ber and quality of the dresses made the cus
toms officers blink a little, bnt Mademoi
selle declared positively, and a little petu
lantly, that they were her nersonal effects.
She sail1 she was going to make a long stay
in America, until after the Chicago show,
at least, .but the customs people sent the
trunk to the appraisers' stores.
Mademoiselle went to the Hotel Martin.
Later she made further declarations that
the dresses were ber sole personal property,
and eventually the Custom Honse people
released them to her n October 1, under
tbe Astor decision, as befitting her station
in life.
This morning Inspectors Traitteur and
SIngen arrested Mile. Sabail, charged
ber with smuggling the dresses, and took
her to the'Custom House. She made a full
confession to Deputy Commissioner Phelps. '
She'said she had been in the employ of
Ernest Redfern, of Loudon, for some time
past, and that she had come to this city to
work in the Redlern establishment in this
city. The New York firm is a branch of the
London house. The dresses, she said, she
brought over here for Mr. Redfern.
The inspectors had already discovered
that on the Very day the dresses were re
leased to Mile. Sabail she turned them over
to Redfern, and that they were at once pnt
on sale. Two of the dresses have since gone
to Chicago, but the remainder were seized
at Rediern's to-day, and Redfern agreed to

render them also.
According to Mile. Sabail's confession

Mr. Redfern, with which to pay the duty
on the dresses in case such a course was un
avoidable. This money, she says, she
turned over to Redfern here the day the
goods were released. The woman said
there was an arrangement by which she
was put on her mettle to get the goods
through. If she had to pay the duty it
would come in part or entirely out of her

SHORT TERM ORDERS.
They Think That Tjero Is a Conspiracy to
Make Them Collapse.
Philadelphia, Oct la Equity suits,
quo warranto proceedings and petitions to
the courts for the appointment of receivers
have caused the downfall in quick succes
sion of a number of "short term" orders of
this city. The Beeming unanimity with
which these proceedings have been bronght
against the various orders has caused the
suspicion in the minds of many of their
members that a conspiracy to bring about
the collapse of tbe endowment orders is at
tbe bettom of tbe suits.
It is said that with this view of the mat
ter, several ot the orders have combined
here for mutual protection, and will fight
tbe common enemy. Steps to this end are
ssid to have already been token, and that
affidavits have been secured from members
of different orders, affirming that they have
been approached and offered a money con
sideration to join in a petition tor a re
ceiver. Upon the Btrength of these affida
vits, it is said that warrants will shortly be
sworn out against certain persons, charging
them with conspiracy to ruin the orders.

His Escape, but Returns Home and Is
ArresteoV-He Is Cool and Speaks
Calmly of His Deed.
A tragic boy murder occurred in Law-renceville-
last night. James Stivanson,
aged 12, was stabbed through the heart by
his whilom playmate and schoolmate,
Stewart Rodger, aged 12. Rodgers was
arrested at bis home on Forty-fourth street
a few minutes after tbe bloody deed.
The circumstances surrounding the case
are particularly sad. Stivanson was the
son of James II, Stivanson, an engineer
on the Allegheny Valley Railroad, residing
on Long alley, half a block lrom Eden
alley, between .Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth
streets. Rodgers is the son of W. S. Rod
gers, a pattern maker in the employ of the
Westinghouse Company, living at Forty
fourth street and Eden alley. The dead
boy is the eldest of a family of six chil
dren, bis murderer the youngest of a family
of four.
Jimmy Stivanson had eaten his supper,
and before starting out for the evening his
mother bad given him a penny. Accompa
nied by his brother George, he went out on
tbe street. Ten minutes later (is mother
carried him into the house dying. ,
Began In a Boyish Quarrel.
Both boys were members of a juvenile
Democratic marching club. It was ,7:30
o'clock when tbe Stivanson boys went out,
Jimmy wearing his oilcloth marching cap.
A lew feet up the alley he came to a group
of children "playing school" on a door
step, among whom was Stewart Rodgers,
attired in his cap and cape, ready
for a parade with his club. When
the Stivanson boys fame they wanted to
join the plav, but Rodgers ordered them
away. At this moment Rodgers ran into a
coalshed, which has a window fronting on
the alley, and threw water out of the win
dow on the Stivanson boys.
A white cat, in the last agonies of au at
tack of fits, was writhing in the alley near
where Stivanson stood. Enraged at
Rodgers' action, Jimmy Stivanson seized
tbe cat by the tail and threw it into the
coalshed through the window. The cat
strnck Rodgers on the bead, and the other
children laughed. Rodgers became iuri
ous. Rushing out of the shed, he met Sti
vanson in the alley. The boys were nearly
oi a size, Stiranson being a little the
larger, and the other boys gathered around,
as boys will, expecting a fight
Stabbed Through the Heart.
"I'll smack you in the facet" exclaimed
Stivanson.
"Just you dare to touch me," was
Rodgers' reply, "my brother .will licfc you
if you do."
Several boyish banters ensued, one
threatening to strike, the other daring him
to do so. Finally, stung by the taunts of
the boys 'around him, Stivanson struck
Rodgers lightly in the breast Rodgers
made no return of the blow and renewed
bis banter, whereupon Stivanson, encour
aged by non-resistance, struck Rodgers on
the forehead with his clenched fist.
Again the children laughed, this time at
Rodgers. Ibe little fellow jumped back,
turned his lace from his adversary ler a
moment, and then wheeling quickly, he
sprang forward like a little demon and
struck Stivanson a heavy blow on the left
breast. As he drew his arm back the chil
dren saw a knife flashing in his hand. At
the same instant . Stivanson clapped
his hand on his heart exclaiming: "Oh!
I'm-stabbedl I'm stabbed."
Died on Bis Mother's Breast
As Stivanson staggered across tbe alley
toward bis home, leaving a trail of blood
behind him, the other children called to
Rodgers to run. Quickly concealing the
kniie in his bat band Rodgers followed
their advice, starting toward Butler street.
Stivanson bad only gone a few feet, when,
realizing he wa abont if fall, be called to
Mrs. Edwin Pease, in front of whose open
door he was, to run for his mother. Mrs, .
Pease ran out to ascertain what.was the
trouble. As she reached the sidewalk
Jimmy. called again, "Ob, Mrs. Pease, run
tor mother, I'm stabbed. Stewart Rodgers
stabbed me."
Then he fell on his face on the street.
Mrs. Pease picked bim up. As she did tbe
dying boy articulated his last word. It was
"Mother."
Seeing the blood, Mrs, Pease called for '
Mrs. Stivanson, who came quickly and,
(akine the boy to her breast, distractedly
called" bim by name. The lad manfully con
centrated his fast fleeting senses and opened
his eyes, seeming to recognize her and then
with a sorrowful shake of hit head he fell
forward on his mother's breast. No sound
escaped from his lips.
The little Boy Was Dead.
Tenderly the weeping mother carried het
firstborn into the house and tried to call
him back to life, but it was too late. Be
fore the physician who had been sent for
arrived the iorm she so tenderly olasped to
her breast had turned to clay. Her ion was
dead.
Young Rodgers, after leaving the scene
of the crime, ran to Butler street, throwing
his knife away as he sped along. Then not
knowing what to do he went nome. In a
lew moments the police had been notified
and Captain Brophy went to the house.
Rodgers knew what was wanted and walked
right up to tbe officer, saying, rather, non
chalantly, "I am ready."
When taken to tbe Seventeenth ward
police station he told his story in a fearless.
straightforward way. He made no denial
of the cutting and told the officers where
he had thrown his knife away. They
searched for It carefully, bat failed to
find it

ously interviewed a number of the boy wit.
