Unless its seeder appears, the money will be turned into the national treas- «y. wealth, A. S. Bar $50 to titt f wealth, and James Mills $f© to the commonwealth. Judge Porter stated that no malice wis shown in the publi­ cation; that it was done during * heated <Munp!»%T!!; and was d«e to negligence more than from motive. AT Brockton, Mass., Charles E. Hud­ son, who forty-two days ago refused to take food, and persisted in his refusal in Bpite of the fact that his strength failed daily, is dead. His fast lasted about forty-two days and four hours, and those who were in constant attendance upon him assert positively that during that time he did not take a drop of nourishment, and could only be induced to moisten his lips at long Intervals with water. His mind seemed perfectly clear, and he understood that he was committing suicide in refusing to eat.

As THE southbound train on the South­ ern Pacific Raiload was nearing Paso, Cal., the engineer saw by the light of the headlight a queer-looking object ly­ ing near the right-hand rail. When the driving wheels of the locomotive passed over the object there was a terrific ex­ plosion, and the cab was enveloped in a sheet of flame. The insignificant object proved to have been a heavy charge of a dangerous explosive. Fortunately the engine was a heavy one and held to the rails, while the motion of the train car­ ried it quickly over the spot. A. J. SHROFF, twenty-nine years old, manager of a Chicago dime museum, re- eeived probably fatal injuries while on s somnambulistic expedition in his ho­ tel the other morning.

THAT the spirit of discon tent is spread­ ing with alarmingj force among the masses of the German empire was ex­ emplified in Berlin .Thursday afternoon, when a body of 3,0(J9 or 4,000 unemployed workingmen met by preconcerted ar­ rangement in a public square and passed a series of inflammatory resolu­ tions denouncing, their employers and the system of government which en­ abled the latter to crush the workingmen beneath the iron heel of capital, and calling upon the government to take steps to protect the interests of the working classes. The news of this bold gathering in defiance of the reoent order of the authorities prohibiting such gatherings spread with electrical rapid­ ity throughout the city. The result was that the socialist agitators determined to take advantage of the excited unem­ ployed men to make a demonstration before the flftstle of the Emperor. The police charged the mob, and, after tak­ ing from eighty to 100prisoners, seemed content to allow the remainder to es­ cape. The sixty or seventy wounded rioters who remained on the field of battle were attended to at a neighboring hospital, and the regular prisoners were put under lock and key. • ̂ BOL.D ATTEMPT AT TRAIN BOB- v .

The posses in scarch of Coy suepectsd that he was be- ing harbored by Gaines, and two or three times this week a rope was put around the letter's neck to make him give information. He was also assured that death would certainly be his por­ tion should he fall to notify the posse upon the first appearance of the hunted man. This morning early the mistress of Coy went to the house of A. B. Scott, a white neighbor, living near by, and told him that Coy was at the house of Gaines. Scott at once sent a message UCTTS post ii&at/e to town, ana a posse immediately went out to arrest the negro. Meantime, however, Coy had left Gaines' house, but was appre­ hended and taken in charge by Mr. Scott and two sons, who held him until the arrival of the men from town. The latter immediately brought their pris=. oner in, and, placing him in a carriage,; conveyed him to the Jewell farm, where Mrs. Jewell, without hesita­ tion, identified him beyond all doubt as the man who assaulted her.

Revolver bdllets whistled past their eyes, and a (voice was heard commanding them to Signal the engineer to go ahead or take the consequences. The trainmen iwore tin- armed. The conductor told ofte of-his' men to jump off, run back to Jordan, and telegraph along the line to Roches-? ter that they had a train robber on board. This was done and the conductor sig­ naled the engineer to go ahead. «t full speed, thinking that the robber wanld not dare jump and would be captured a$ tiie next stop. The train went to FCi^tf Byron. Sere tu6 brakes wwe bci Hguiu and the conductor and trainmen went to the express car. The car showed signs of a desperate struggle. Money packages and jewelry were lying scattered about, everything stained with blood, and Messenger Mc­ lnerney was lying bleeding from several wounds and almost unconscious. The robber was nowhere to bo seen and was supposed to have jumped and made good his escape. Mclnerney wanted to be brought on to Bochester, and the train went on to Lyons, the next stop. The news had spread all along the line by this time, and the sta­ tion at Lyons was alive. Among others in the crowd was a well-dressed young man wearing gold eyeglasses and carrying a sachet slung over his shoul­ der. Now, it happened that the train­ men had noticed the young man at the station at Syracuse before the train had started out* An attempt to arrest him was made, but he pulled two revolvers, held the crowd back, and backed across the yard until he reached a coal-train, the engine of which had steam up ready J to pull out for the West. He pulled the * pin holding the tender to the first car, climbed over the coal into the cab, drove the engineer and fireman out with his revolvers, pulled open the throttle and started the engine. Conductor Laas and o,ne of the switch­ men procured a shotgun, freed the en­ gine of the express, and, with the fire­ man and engineer, started in pursuit of the fugitive. The Oentral-Hudson is a four-tracked road, and the engines, though they were going west, were not on the same track. The express engine soon overtook the robber, who suddenly Reversed his engine and let his pursuers pass him, pouring pistol bullets into the cab as his pursuers went by. Then the pursuers stopped and the pursued went ahead. About seven miles further on the robber found his steam going out of his engine. He dropped off at a cross­ road and started across the country. He managed to terrorize a farmer into let­ ting him have a horse, and rode on about two miles farther south, where he pro­ cured another horse. The party in the express engine had returned to Lyons, where the Sheriff of Wayne County had organized a posse, which, under com­ mand of Deputy Sheriff Collins, started in pursuit. Meantime the farmers along the robber's line of retreat had also turned out, fully armed, in pursui% • The robber was sighted about five miles south of Newark. Tho roads are very bad and he had made very poor speed. He abandoned his horse and ran across lots to Benton's swamp, but the swamp proved to be too full of water to be penetrated and the fugitive took up his station behind a stone wall and faced his pursuers. After some parley he surrendered to Deputy Sheriff Col­ lins. He was taken back to Lyons and lodged in jail. He gave the name of William Cross; said he was from New Mexico, and had been boarding in Syra­ cuse for some time. He admitted he was the man who attempted the train robbery to Chief of Detectives Hayden of this city. He Is believed to be the much-wanted Oliver Curtis Perry who robbed Express Messenger Moore near Utica last fall. The story of the at­ tempted robbery, as far as can be gath­ ered, is this: The express messenger will not talk. Cross boarded the train when It pulled out of Syracuse and climbed on top of the express car. He was provided with a hooked rope. Fastening the hook in the slight cornice of the door on one side of the car he let himself down onto the other, and resting his toes on the ledge that inns across tho car, he look­ ed in the glass of the side door and saw the express messenger in front of one of the safes, which was open, making up his bills. Ho smashed the glass with his revolver, covered tho messenger, and shouted to hold up his hands. Instead of doing no Mclnerney reached for the signal cord with one hand and for his revolver with the other. A bul­ let smashed the hand, but not before the signal had been given that aroused the eonductor. Then Mclnerney fired on the robber ami put a bullet through his coat. Then the robber shot the messen­ ger twi<je-K>nee in tee right leg and onee In the left leg. He ellmbed into divined that hanging had been decided upon there were thunderis of protests. "Away with the rope! Hanging is too good for Kim! Burn him, bum him!" was the shout that went up from 5,000 throats. Coy was strapped to the body of a trSe with iron fastening and coal oil was poured over his entire person in liberal quantities. Thero was a moment of. silence and then another shout went up: ' "Let Mrs. Jewell, apply the match! 'Let Mrs. Jewell set him off!" Walking slowly, very pale but col­ lected, the woman emerged from the crowd. Her appearance before them set the crowd wild and a mighty cheer went up tl at almost shook the ground on which they were standing. The crowd feil. back at her approach, making a • pathway for the brutal negro's victim,' who, leaning on the i r 11 of A mfllft pa|q. tive on either side, walked unhesitating­ ly forwarded to where the negro stood pinioned, struck a parlor matcb, and with the utmost deliberation fired the negro's clothes in two places. In a sec­ ond the poor wretch was one mass of flames, but even then his Wonderful nerve, exhibited ever since his arrest, never forsook him, and while suffering the tortures of fire he actually called to the men of the assembly and in a clear voice requested of tdem: "Move back so that the ladies can see." He re­ ferred to the negro women, a large num­ ber of whom witnessed the execution. Death came in twenty minutes. The excitement over the horrible affair having largely subsided, the peo­ ple are coming to their sober senses, and general regre^ is expressed. That Coy should have been hanged or shot is generally admitted by everybody, but burning the pqor wretch at the stako was a shock to civilization. The mob was mostly composed of young railroad men who lost their reason in their thirst for revenge. .There is strong talk among influential citizens of calling a mass meeting to denounce the burning of Coy as barbarous, The citizens feel that unless some such step is taken the affair will result in the permanent injury of the town. A Strange Animal. Miss Hannah Bascomb, a native and resident of Huckleberry, was one of those people who have a firmly rooted objection to displaying or even admitting their ignorance on any point whatsoev<fr. She always held that "folks that had good sense could gen'lly make out t' get along 'thout lettin' on what they wa'D't quite as you may say, downright cert'in 'bout, in matters that they hadn't took no special 'count of." This belief of Miss Bascomb's occa­ sionally involved her in difficulties, and often led her to make amusing mistakes; but as she was liappily un­ conscious of this latter fact it did not in the least disturb her theory, or her peace of mind. At one tlm$ she was making a visit to her niece, and took the niece's little 8-year-old (laughter to the Art Museum on a tour of inspection. Her cynunentH ami criticisms on the various works of art displayed there had at least tha merit of origin­ ality. At last she stopped before the sculptured Hgure of the "Dying Gladiator." * Well, Mattie,"hhe said, addressing her grand niece, after some minutes of silence, "this is the greatest piece o' oversight I've found here yet. I persumc t' say these art things have come in so fast the committee have grown keerless; for I pereume likely there is a committee t' look after 'em as they come in!" "What's the matter, Aunt Han­ nah?" asked Mattie. "Matter!" said Miss Bascomb, in­ dignantly. "Matter enough, I sh'd say. Here's this piece o' sculpin' called 'The Dying Gladiitor,' an' there aint no sign of a gladiator in it! The man that sculped it must 'a' been tryin't' play a joke on the com­ mittee, an' a pooty poor joke I call it." "What is a gladiator, Aunt Han­ nah?" asked the little girl, doubtfully. "Somethin' very much the same as an alligator, child," replied her aunt. "Jest about the same as an al>igator; you've got the picter of an alligator t' home, you know, in one o* your books!" , . « Can't Choose a Kamt> In the language of the millions of China and' Japan there is no term that corresponds with our God. Every student of missions knows well the abiding difficulty in China over the question of a term for God. Both the native Christians and the foreign missionaries are divided among them-, selves over this perplexing question. Mip3 WILLARD. a* St. • . ma-.i.-iiMh new political combina- tion is in existenoe for th© coming Pres- idential campaign. So, at lepst, the del ­ egates to the big National Industrial v • Conference, which ^Was held in St. Louis, say. A new political party been born. Thai- tl.i _ i _ i. - r 4 * " i - u c J O l Q w conference of the ^People's and the In­ dependent party in­ dorse and ratify the platform adopted, was the firui ihiug decided on after Hen- resentative Taubenecu, of Illinois, had been made chairman. Then it was agreed that a committee should be appointed to Issue an address to the voters of the country calling up­ on them to meet in their respective local­ ities on some specific date to organize and elect delegates to the national con­ vention. Ex-Senator Van Wyck of Nebraska, C. C„ Post of Georgia, T. B„ McGuire, Ignatius Donnelly of Minne­ sota, and Ben Terrell of Texas were named as such committee. Then came up the question as to the day for the ssuiing and curwteuiug, and July 4 was the day finally agreed upon. This was decided by a committee from the convention having full authority to act with the national committee of tho People's party. The place for holding the convention was left to be chosen by a sub-committee of ten to be appointed by Mr. Taubeneck. Omaha, Indianapo­ lis,and Kansas City, Kas., were favorably mentioned. By delaying the convention to July 4 the parties interested will be given an opportunity to see what the conventions of the Bepublican and Dem­ ocratic parties are disposed to do. A "blue and gray" mass meeting, Into which the convention resolved itself befoio pi i & p p 11 iu g w i t h t h e p i a t f o n n temporarily, was a pretty feature of t h o c o n f e r e n c e . Commodore Yande- voort of Nebraska, for the Union vet­ erans present in the convention; pledged President Polk, "for the old Confederate soldiers in attend­ ance, that they would join hands to bury sectional hate, and the treaty, if such it might be termed,was ratified in speeches by ex-Senator Van Wyck of Nebraska and Ben Terrill of Texas. The efforts of Miss Frances Willard to effect a juncture with the .Prohibition­ ists were unavail­ ing, and the plat­ form was adopted only after tne pro­ hibition plank had been stricken out. The preamble was read by Ignatius Donnelly, of Minne­ sota, as an expres­ sion of the Indus- „ trial League, and T 8 donnklLV. the platform proper was presented by Chairman Kavanagh, of the Committee on Platform. Platform of Principles. In order to restrain the e x tort ion »ofag- gregated capital, to drive the money­ changers out of the temple, to form a per­ fect union, establl h Justice, insure domes­ tic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, wo do ordain and estab­ lish, the following platform of principles: 1. We declare the union of labor .forces of tho United States this day accomplished permanent and perpetual. May its spirit jenter into all hearts for tho salvation of the republic and the upliftjng of mankind. 2. Wealth belongs to him who creates it. Every dollar taken from industry without an equivalent is robbery. If any will not work, neither shall ho eat Tho> interest of rural and urban laboir are the same; their enemies are identical. 3. We demand a national currency, safe, sound, and flexib.o. issued by the general government only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and that without the use of banking corporations, a just equitable means of circulation «t a tax not to exceed 2 per cent., as set forth In tho sub-treasury plan of the Farmers' Alliance or some better sjrstem; also by payVnents in discharge of its obligation fbr public im­ provements. 4. We demand free and unlimited coinage of silver. 5. We demand that the amount of cir­ culating medium be speedily increased to not lejs than $50 per capita. 6; We demand a graduated Income tax. 7. We believe that the money of the country should be ke, t as much as possible in the hands of Vhe people, and hence we demand that all national and State rev­ enues shall be limited to the necessary ex­ penses of the Government economically and honestly administered. & We demand that postal savings banks be established by the Government for the safe deposit of the earnings of the people, and to facilitate exchange. 0. Your sub-committee upon land plank beg to submit to your approval the follow­ ing: The land, including all the natural resources of wealth, is the heritage of all people, and should not be monopolized for speculative purposes, and alien ownership of land should be prohibited. All lands now held by railroads and other corpora­ tions in excess of their actual needs and all lands nowownei by aliens should be re­ claimed by the Government and held for actual settlers only. 10. Transportation being a means of ex­ change and.a public necessity, the Govern­ ment should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people. 11. The telegraph and telephone, like the postoffice system, beln? a necessity for the transmission of news, should be owned and operated by the Government in the in­ terest of the people. 12. We demand that the Government is­ sue legal-tender notes and pay the Union soldier the difference bet .veen the price of the depreciated money in which be was paid and gold. RefO'.ved. That we tiha.il this conference as the consummation of the perfect union of the hearts and hands of-all sections of our common country; the men who wore the gray and the men who wore the blue meet here to extinguish the last smoldering em­ bers of civil war in the tears of joy of a united aud happy people, and wo asree to carry the stars and stripes forward forever to the highest point Of national greatness. rronsefllBir* at the geaate aad Howe* e*- ' Sepres*i»tattT«a - Important MtamtM *** Dlwnsnd and Acted Ppos flfat of £2# y * it i ?* t - v •Hie Na?«aal Solo*.

The artist who finds it difficult to get 91,000 for his painting, and the novelist who dis­ covers that $10,000 is high-water mark for his best effort, will be in­ clined to sneer and grumble a little. But men do not pay large sums for horses because they wish to express their admiration for their beauty or speed. They buy them because dur­ ing their brief career they can earn such vast amounts. The earnings of a race horse of first rank foot up totals which make the prices paid for unsuccessful--what .has been the cause ol, ' - • i •u.r --, Well Thrown. y / On a day in January, tTifrty^lwo years ago, the people of Madison Vil­ lage, Me., were fighting Are. The west wind blew a hurricane; the tavern [and an adjoinmg dwelling- house had already burned, to the ground,\jand the entire vill^e was threatened. The Congregational Church 8(tood in direct line with the fire, but the wide village green'might save it. Hundreds of anxious eyes were on. the watch lest some spark or live cinder should fall upon its exposed roof and walls, which were kept drenched with water. A blazing cinder whirled high across the green, and a strong, sucking current of air carried it and held It against a clap­ board of the tall steeple; held it mi- til the dry, pitch-fllled strip of wood ignited, and a brisk smoke was iising on the steeple's south face. A groan burst from the watching crowd. No ladder could reach the spot, and the loved church must burn. A red tongue of flame shot out from the blackened hole that the live cinder had charred, then--whiz went a flying snowball up from the crowd, a single, big, moist snowball, that snuffed out that blaze as one snuffs out a candle. Warren Bacon with his good right left hand had quickly shaped and thrown the snowball, and the church was saved. The building still stands, and the pierced clapboards on the south side of the steeple still show where the blazing cinder and then the flying snowball struck. Jewish Immigration. Jewish emigration is one that vitally* concerns the people of the United States. Last year the number of He­ brews who came to the ports of the United States was 70,000, aud this year the number will be much greater. There are 6,000,000 of the Jewish race In Rus­ sia and Russian Poland and the govern­ ment of the Czar is determined to drive them away from these places. Whither shall these people go? Th?re is consid­ erable talk of some of them going to Brazil, tho Argentine Republic, Mexico and other Spanish-American countries, but it is in tho United States that they desire to settle. This is a serious con­ sideration for Americans. The Jewish people do not amalgamate with the peo­ ple of this country; they term colonies of their own and they care nojt to learn of our language, our institutions or our industries. It is probable that within three years thero will come to this coun­ try more thnn 1,000,000 Jews. What can the United States Government fto for the regulation of emigration of this kind? is a question that however inter­ esting cannot now be solved. •<%! Not Worth So Much Himself. "Ten thousand dollars for a dog!" he exclaimed, as he looked up from his newspaper. "Bo you believe anyone ever paid any such price, Maria?" "I'm sure I don't know, James," she returned, without stopping her needle- " work- even for ji moment. "Does the paper say that much was paid?" » "Yes, there's an article on valuable dogs and it speaks of one that was sold for $10,000. I don't believe It." "It may be true,, James," she said, quietly. "Some of these blooded ani­ mals bring fancy prices, and there's no particular reason why the paper should lie about it." # "I know that, Maria; but just think of it--just try to grasp the magnitude of that I sum in your weak, feminine mind. You don't seem to realize it. Ten thousand dollars for a dog! Why, Maria! that's more than I am worth!"
