\ AUBURN PRISON
The Assassin of Pres'dent McKinley Pays
the Penalty in the Death Chair.
LAST ACT IN THE GREAT TRAGEDY.
Sullen and Unrepentant the Anarchist Mur:
derer Goes to His Death, Denouncing Res
ligion, Cursing the Priests and the Church
and Declaring That He Alone Was Responsi-
ble for the Crime.
Auburn, N. Y. (Special).—Leon Czol-
gosz, the agsassin, has paid the penalty
of the law for one of the most terrible
crimes in the world’s history.
The anarchist who, on September 6,
shot and mortally wounded President
McKinley in the Temple of Music on
the Exposition grounds at Buffalo, N.
Y., was electrocuted at 7.12 o'clock
Tuesday morning in the death chair in
the State prison at Auburn, N. Y.
To the last he maintained that he
alone was responsible for the assassina-
tion of the President. His brother and
brother-in-law, at their farewell meeting
with the condemned man, begged and
pleaded with him to tell them who
prompted him in his crime, but he only
repeated his former statement that he
had no accomplices.
He refused all religious consolation
and maintained a dogged silence in the
resence of the priests who visited him.
hey begged him to abjure anarchy be-
fore his death, but he was emphatic in
his opposition. .
Czolgosz held two final interviews
Monday night, the first with State Pris-
on Superintendent Collins and the second
with his brother Waldeck and his broth-
er-in-law, Thomas Bandowski. Both in-
terviews were brief and the visitors did
most of the talking until the question of
religion was mentioned. Then Czolgosz
broke from his seeming lethargy, vio-
lently denounced the church and the
clergy and made his relatives promise
that there should be no religious service
for him, living or dead.
Prior to these late interviews Czolgosz
reluctantly received Revs. Hyacinth Fud-
zinski and Thomas Hickey, Catholic
riests. This was after he had once re-
used to meet them. When they reached
the prison Supt. Collins conveyed
to the prisoner the request of an inter-
view. Czolgosz sent back word that he
did not care to see them, but the priests
asked to be allowed to go to him despite
his refusal.
At 7 p. m. Superintendent Collins went
into the deathhouse and tried to get the
prisoner to talk to him. Although he re-
mained in the cell some time, he was ap-
parently not successful in getting any-
thing material from Czolgosz.
The brother and brother-in-law arrived
at 8 o'clock and Superintendent Collins
took them down to the condemned man’s
cell. There was no demonstration when
they met. Czolgosz merely stepped to
the front of his steel cage and said:
“Hello.”
The brother ventured the remark:
“I wish vou would tell us, Leon, who
got you into this scrape?”

CALEB POWERS IS
AGAIN FOUND GUILTY
Many Women Embrace and Kiss Him
in the Court,
PRISONER PALE AND MOTIONLESS,
Kentucky's ex-Secretary of State Convicted
a Second Time as an Accessory Before
the Fact fo the Murder of Governor Goebel
—Again Sentenced to Imprisonment for
Life—Motion for New Trial
Georgetown, Ky. (Special ).— Ex-Sec-
retary of State Caleb Powers was again
convicted as an accessory before the fact
to the murder of William Goebel in Janu-
ary, 1900, and for the second time has
been sentenced to imprisonment for life.
The second trial began October 8, and
has continued with three sessions daily,
court adjourning late at night. Argu-
ments were limited so that the case went
to the jury at 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
and a verdict of guilty soon followed.
Powers sat pale and motionless when
the verdict was announced by the fore-
man, B. S. Calvert, his eld sehoolmate.
Opposite Powers on the other side of the
courtroom, with the attorneys, sat Ar-
thur Goebel, brother of the late gover-
nor, with his eyes fixed on the prisoner.
The attorneys of Powers shook his
hand, expressing their belief in his in-
nocence.
Women crowded around Powers, em-
bracing and kissing him, and tears were
shed. The defense having filed a motion
for a new trial, Judge Cantrill, at 2.30
p. m.,, heard arguments on it.
The jury was out only 50 minutes.
Then a motion for a new trial was over-
ruled, and the case will be appealed. The
sentence was read and judgment sus-
pended pending the decision of the higher
tribunal. Powers was taken to Frank-
fort on an evening train and committed
to jail without bail.
ARE BURNING SAMAR TOWNS.
Recent Demonstrations on the Island Due to
Lack of Food—Leader Surrenders.
Manila (By Cable).—The constabu-
lary report a fight with insurgents near
Passi, Province of Iloilo, Island of Pa-
nay, in which 25 insurgents were killed
and three captured, together with a
quantity of arms and ammunition.
The news from General Hughes re-
garding conditions in the Island of Cebu
is encouraging, Lorega has surrender-
ed with his entire force and one cannon{
and several rifles, while General Hughes
is negotiating for the surrender of Maxi-
lot, who styles himself “Governor Po-
litico Militar”. His surrender will
mean the pacification of the province.
Lack of food and the harassing ef-
fects of the aggressive tactics now pur-
sued by the American forces are having
their influence upon the natives. In
many places where rice is doled out by
the government, only enough is given
for one meal, so that it is hardly pos-
sible for any large quantity to find its
way to the insurgents.
It is believed that the recent mani-
festations in the Island of Samar were
chiefly due to the lack of food, the in-
surgents finding it necessary to make
outlets to the coast in ofder to obtain
this.
The first labor problem growing out
of the new tariff has taken place. A
hat and umbrella factory, employing
600 hands, has found it necessary fo
close. The lawyers are making a pro-
test to the Commission, urging protec-
tion, as the goods from Germany can
be sold here at half the prices it takes
to manufacture them here.
Dispatches from Catbalogan, Samar,
say that stringent and energetic meas-
ures are taken to suppress the insurrec-
tion in that island. General Smith has
notified all the presidentes and head
men of the pueblos that, in order to
avoid trouble, they must surrender all
arms and turn over the persons impli-
cated in the Balangiga massacre.
NINETEEN DEAD AT A FIRE.
The Employes of a Philadelphia Furniture Firm
Caught By Flames.
Philadelphia (8pecial). — Nineteen
known dead and property loss amounting
to more than $500,000 is the awful result
of a fire which occurred in the heart of
Philadelphia.
The number of injured is not known
definitely, but fully a score of victims
were treated at various hospitals.
The buildings destroyed were the
eight-story structure, 1219 and 1221 Mar-
ket street, occupied by Hunt, Wilkinson
& Co., upholsterers and furniture dealers,
and three three-story buildings occupied
by small merchants. The furniture build-
ing extended back a half block to Com-
merce street and was owned by Henry
C. Lea.
Never in its history has Philadelphia
experienced a fire which spread with such
great rapidity.
At 10.20 o'clock a. m. the blaze broke
forth in the building occupied by Hunt,
Wilkinson & Co., and one hour later the
horrible sacrifice of life had been made
and the great loss of property had been
sustained. The origin of the conflagra-
tion is unknown. It is said that an ex-
plosion of naphtha or gasoline in the
basement was the cause, but this is de-
nied by Mr. Wilkinson, who says there
never was a sufficient quantity of either
explosive about the building to be re-
sponsible for the disaster. Rumor has
it also that an elevator constructor at
gael bo sement permitted the flame

horrifying. Men and women met death
in aight of thousands of spectators who
were unable to lift a hand to their assist-
ance. The rear of Hunt, Wilkinson &
Co.’s building abuts on Commerce street,
a small thoroughfare. Employes who
started down the fire escape on that side
of the buflding before the flames were
visible from the street were compelled to
jump before they had traveled two stories
because of the flames breaking through
the windows.
On the fire escape at this end of the
building two men and one woman were
slowly roasted to death while the horror-
stricken throng on the street below turn-
ed sick at the sight. In the front on Mar-
ket street a woman, driven to despera-
tion, leaped from a window on the top
floor and was dashed to death on the
pavement.
One woman leaped from a window and
fell astride of an awning pole and her
body was torn almost in half. The corpse
hung in the air many minutes before the
firemen could recover it.
The dense smoke was responsible for
the loss of some lives. Firemen stood
on the pavement with life nets spread
ready to catch those who jumped, but
both victims and life-savers were so
blinded they could not see each other.
These are only a few of the heart-
rending scenes attending the conflagra-
tion. Firemen say they saw men and
women, unable to reach the windows or
£28 escapes, burned to death in the in-

THIRTY ARE KILLED
IN A RACE RIOT
Serious Trouble in the States of Louisis
ana and Mississippi.
A BATTLE ON THE BORDER LINE.
Cause of the Trouble Said to Be the Efforts
of the Negroes to Kill One of Their Own
Race Who Had Been Compelled By the
Whites to Light the Fire by Which a
Negro Was Burned fo Dea:h.
New Orleans (Special).—A race war
that already numbers among its victims
30 white men and negroes, is raging in
and around Balltown, in Washington
parish, this State, a few miles from the
boundary line of Mississippi, and a com-
pany of militiamen from the First Loui-
siania Brigade is being rushed to the
scene to put a stop to hostilities.
So far as can be gathered from the
meager sources of information at present
available the cause of the bitterness that
has led to the outbreak is the determina-
tion of the colored men of the region to |
kill one of their own race, who, under or- |
ders of the whites, last Wednesday set
fire to a pyre about a negro, who was be-
ing put to death for a brutal assault and
attempted murder.
Of the men already killed as a result
of several rifle battles that have been go-
ing on since Sunday, five are whites and
the remainder eolored. When the fight-
ing began the colored men met their foes
in the open, but in the afternoon several
of them fled across the Mississippi line,
where the Columbia State Guards are
stationed to protect them, and others are
entrenching themselves in houses in the
heart of the town.
ce srt —————————r seep]
In all probability the struggle is now
resolving itself into a man hunt, with the |
negroes seeking whatever shelter they
can find. The whites far outnumber
them in the neighborhood of Balltown.
Squads of men are reported patroling the
country round the settlement, and they
are shooting them down in cold bloed
wherever they find them. Sheriff Si-
mons, of Washington Parish, has tele-
graphed to Governor Heard that it will
be impossible for him to restore order
without the assistance of the militia.
Last Wednesday Bill Morris, a negro,
assaulted and attempted to murder a
white woman, Mrs. John Ball, who now
is said, to be dying at her home. Morris
was caught on the same afternoon, and,
in the presence of several hundred peo-
ple, was burned at the stake in the mid-
dle of the town, after being chained to a
pine sapling and surrounded by a great
heap of pine knots. Another negro was
forced to set fire to the wood, and as soon | B
as the colored population heard of the
affair they held a meeting and denounced
the man for his cowardice in complying
with the demands of the white. Violent
speeches stirred them to action, and they
determined to catch the offender and
burn him at the stake in revenge.
DR. RIXEY’S REPORT.
His Record of McKinley's Case Geos Deeply
Into Detail
Washington, D. C. (Special).—““In the
line of duty, while receiving the people,
was shot by Leon F. Czolgosz,” is the
official statement filed with the Surgeon-
General of the Navy, by Dr, Presley M.
Rixey, Medical Inspector, United States
Navy, as the introduction for his report
upon the wounding illness and death of
President McKinley. The cause of death
is thus stated:
“Gangrene of both walls of stomach
and pancreas, following gunshot wound.”
The report itself is remarkable for its
exhibition in the closest possible detail
of the exact state of the patient during
his mortal illness. It is almost in the
bape of a ship’s log, showing at inter-
of a very few minutes—sometimes a
minute, rarely more than an hour
batient’s progress toward the end.
