AT Aa Alleged Crank Who Had Been Disap­ pointed in M Absurd Political Ambition the Slayer--The Deed Committed With ®Ut a Moment's Wisrning to the Victim. CHICAGO, Oct. 30. -- Mayor Harrison was shot three times while standing in the hallway of his home at 231 Ashland boulevard Saturday evening at 7:25 o'clock by a man giving his name as Eugene Pat­ rick Prendergast. He died at 7:40 o'clock, fifteen minutes later. Prendergast after firing the shots, the last of whioh was fata!, went to the Desplaines street sta­ tion, where be gave himself up.

The mayor was a man who never refused to see anybody and he im­ mediately left the table and went into the hall, which was brightly lighted. He ad­ vanced to withiu a few feet of the assassin, when the latter pulled out a pistol and be­ gan firing without a word. Three shots were fired as rapidly as he could pull the trigger and two of the bullets took effect in the victim'* body. The Ilullet Had Done Its Work. Within a few minutes after the shots were fired Dr. Foster, who had been sum moned, arrived, and almost simultaneous­ ly came Drs. Lytuan, Washburn and Thomas. There was nothing to be done. 1 he assassin's bullet had accomplished its purpose. Death was doing its work. The dying man spoke very few words after the DTICTJIRGLJYRRIVED. To Dr. Foster he ex­ claimed just before he died: "Where is Annie [his intended wife, Miss Howard]; why don't somebody fetch her." Then a moment later he asked for water and spoke no more. Dr. Foster says that the bullet that killed Mr. Harrii.on was one that entered just above the navel, it hav­ ing caused internal hemorrhage. The other body wound was iu the right side just under the arm. One shot took effect in the left hand. It is not too much to say that "politics did it." For the assassin shot because he was as he claims, disappointed in getting A city office, aud the mayor's presence in the city at the time was caused by the coming election, for which be bad post­ poned his marriage. Had he carried out his original intention he would have been at New Orleans at this time and--but who knows what might have beenf His fiance Miss Howard, of the Crescent City, was here AND arrived at the mayor's resi­ dence soon after his death. She had been notified of the shooting immediately by telephone, and did not know it was fatal until she arrived at the scene of the tragedy, where on being told the awful truth she sank half fainting into the arms of Mrs. Chalmers. The Assassin. And the man who shot, who was he? A crank perhaps, but not nearly so crazy as Guiteau. A man of 25 with a face that has viciousness printed all over it is the way he i s descr ibed by the c i ty press . At his age he had found nothing suited to bis talents higher than carrier 6f newspapers, and he did that so poorly that one paper discharged him. He was not worth to the community or to mankind as much IN a month as Mayor Harrison was iu N miitfite. He went to the Desplaines Street station and told the policemen he had shot Mayor Harrison, and they took him to headquarters where for au hour he was questioned and cross-examined apparently with a view to ascertaining whether he was insane or not. For. as the mayor'S 'son says, "The man who killed my father must h ave been in­ sane." There are a good many people in Chicago, however, who believe that this particular Kind of insanity should always insure its possessor a quick and ceriaiu death instead of a term at Kankakee, to be followed by release and freedom to kill some one else. To the questions propound­ ed the assassin said his name was Eugene Patrick Prenrle'gast; that he shot the mayor because the mayor had betiayed his confidence (said betrayal consisting as near as it could be made out in refusing to appoint Prendergast to the position of corporaiiou counsel); that he expected to be acquitted, because he was justified in shooting. Coroner McHale held an inquest at the Harrison residence and Prendergast was held to the grand JURJ^ He was hurriedly taken to the county jail, where he now oc- cupief cell No. 11, in which Anarchist Linn committed suicide. Cartar H. Harrison's Career. From YOTTNIF manhood to the hour when the assassin's bullet put an end to a life filled with years and with honors the career of Carter Henry Harrison has been closely interwoven with the history of Chi- eago. Born in Fayette county, Ky., sprung the Declaration of independence, CJtTter H. Harrison led till his 20th year the fine life oi a sou of one of the gentleman plant­ ers of the oid Commonwealth . And no l i te could be more pleasant. The date of his birth was Feb. 15, LB25. After completing his common school and academic educa­ tion he studied under Dr. Marshall, of Lexington, brother of Chief J ustice Mar­ shall and father of the celebrated wit TOM Marshall, preparing himself for his uni­ versity course. His political oareer began in L£71, and those who have only known "Carter" Har­ rison--as he was universally known here --since that time will find some difficulty IN believing that he was ever timid about speaking. For a man more ready to speak at all times and on any subject HAS never shown himself "within the city walls" of Chicago, and he was an entertaining speaker, too. He always was perfectly frank. He knew what he wanted and what lie thought he could do and he said it "right out." There was no deception about Carter Harrison. In the year mentioned he was elected a county commissioner on what was called, in reference to the then but recently past conflagration, the "fireproof" or citizens' ticket. He served with houor in that ca­ pacity through those trying days, and in 1872 was prevailed upon to make the lace for congress against John D. Ward. In this contest Mr. Harrison was defeated by plurality of 7ti0 votes. In 1874 be ran again, his opponent on this occasion being Georgt R. Davis (the present director gen­ eral of tl.e World's fair). The contest was one of the closest ever recorded. Both candidates claimed election, and a recount of the ballots was found necessary to de­ cide between them. The sccond counting proved Mr. Harrison the victor by the slender majority of eight votes. It was while he was in congress, in Sep­ tember, 1876, in fact, that Mr. Harrison's first wife, the mother of his children, died. She was in Gera, Germany, at the time, and the older children were at school in that country. She was interred in Ger T and Mr. Harrison crossed the ocean to bring his motherless children home. Later he returned again and brought the re­ mains of his wife back to Chicago. With the memory of his great grief fresh upon him Mr. Harrisou refused renomination for congress at the hands of the Democ­ racy iu 1878 aud George R. Davis, whom he had defeated before, was elected. His first race for mayor was run in 1879, and be was elected, a re-election following in the next three terms. During his sec­ ond term as mayor he married Miss Mar­ garet Sterne, daughter of Marcus C. Sterne, of this city. He held no office from 1887 until 1891, during which period he twice declined the Democratic nomina­ tion, and once--in 1887--was nominated anybow'and accepted in the convention on the condition that every man present pledgo himself to work for success. This was done,and Harrison accepted, but his second wife died that year and he re­ signed the nomination and went on his trip around the world. The Campaign of 1801. In 1891 he ran as an indepeudent Dem­ ocratic candidate on the claim of many of his friends that he had been "counted out" in the primaries, and that campaign was a memorable one. From the begin­ ning to the end of r,he campaign he spoke from one to four times every night, not ex­ cepting Sundays, always t.o large and en­ thusiastic audiences, and he polled when the votes were dropped in nearly as large a vote as any other candidate. The Repub­ lican was elected, both regular party can­ didates being handicapped with an "inde­ pendent." He ran again this year and was elected by the greatest majority a mayor ever got here. This was done as was his fourth election against the united efforts of near­ ly the whole city press. There was but one influential paper for Harrison last spring--the Times--and he owned that. The power of the press got two very black eyes IN the lifetime of Mayor Harrison. Mr. Harrison wrote but one book and that was an account of his voyage around the world, in which he was accompanied by two boys--his own son aged 18, and the son of Mr. Amberg, a trusted friend, AYED 17. The book was called "A Race with the Sun," and was a graphic and CHARACTER istic description of his journey, iu w.NCU characteristically he kept out of the routes traveled and went over routes ratv- ly or never traveled. Mayor Harrison was a kind-heai te>«, out spoken man, who never put on any ' and was always approachable.

Of course the whole city government will attend the obsequies, and in the line will be many of the mayors who visited the fair on City Reunion Day. Every organisation in the city that has held a meeting so far has passed eulogistic resolutions iu memory of the late mayor. Others have called meetings and there will be a large volume of memorials be­ fore they have all recorded themselves. The respect in which Mr. Harrison was held was real and hearty, and the whole city feels bereaved. The probability is that Alderman Madden will be chosen by the council as mayor pro tem. until AM election can be held. A ; V R Something About Miss Howard. ^ . ; Miss Annie Howard, the bride-elect OT - Mr. Harrison, so terribly bereaved, is in a condition of prostration that her friends think will permanently affect her health, never very robust. Her brothers from New Orleans have arrived and will take her home as soon as she is well enough to travel. Her acquaintance with Mayor Harrison began when she visited one of her friends who bad become Mrs. Carter H. Harrison, JR. Here she met the mayor who was fascinated at once. His wooing was vigorous and crowned with speedy success, and early las; summer they were engaged. Miss Howard is noted in New Orleans for her benefactions. She founded the Howard Memorial library in that city and has given large sums to other purposes. F The Affair Expected To Be a Grand |>eui- onstratlou of Respect. CHICAGO, Oct. 31.--The funeral of Mayor Harrison will undoubtedly be one of the greatest demonstrations of respect • o the dead ever seen in this city. Today the re­ mains of the late imfyor-were taken to the city hall which has been draped in mourn- for the occasion. At 10 o'clock this morn­ ing the body arrived and was placed under a catafalque there to remain until 10 a. m. tomorrow. The casket was escorted to the city hall by a committee of the city officials, eight captains of police acting as pallbearers, while others were stationed about the building. A deputation of fire­ men is on guatd at the catafalque. As soon as the doors of the city hall were opened a stream of men and women began pouring through the building, en­ tering from the Clark street entrance and passing out at La Salle street. Up to the present there has been a steady stream, and before 10 o'clock tomorrow the people who have looked the last on the face of the dead will number tens of thousands. The grief of the city is universal. All the pa­ pers speak in loving terms of the late mayor, even tho^e who fought him the fiercest during his political career, and the general public is no less kind in its feeling for the victim of the assassin.

CHICAGO, Oct. 31.--Prendergast is brood­ ing over his "wrongs" in the cell in the county jail where Louis Lingg, the anarchist, cheated the gallows by blowing his head off with a high explosive cart­ ridge. He scowls on reporters and has nothing to say but that he was justified. The grand jury has promptly indicted him and the sentiment is that his alleged in­ sanity should out save him from stretoh- ing hemp. He is held as a crank of the Guiteau shape and not as a lunatic. It turns out that he has been writing letters to senators about the Sherman law repeal bill urging the silverites to stand out against cloture, which he said would result in bloodshed. His principal victim in the letter writing matter was Senator Dubois, who got numerous letters, all urging the silver men to stand to their guus, and declaring that President Cleve­ land was only bluffing. He was only one of many, however, of the same kindg fov the silver senators have been deluged With such effusions from similar cranks. PrendergAet was born in County Gal- way, Ireland, April 0, 1968, but was brought to Chicago while yet a babe. He was educated at a Roman Catholic school here and was always careful about bis de­ votions. According to his mother's state* ment some of his father's relatives were insane enough to be confined in asylums In Ireland, but be never showed signs of insanity here. He was morose, however, aud did not get along with his compan­ ions. HE was at one time a newsboy at Omaha, and had the same reputation there, but no one thought him insane. His hobby for the last two years has BEEAYM|| ^ •ingle tax theory. •vt OPINIONS OUTSIDE CHICAGO. -Views A Shock to President Cleveland- Prominent Men. CHICAGO, Oct. 31.--The shock to all •lasses of men at the news of Carter Har­ rison's sudden taking off was great. Pres­ ident Cleveland would not believe the news until it was confirmed and was greatly shocked. He said the event would leave regret and pain all over the world. Secretary Gresbam said the less was irre­ parable. Vice President Stevenson said that Mr. Harrison was one of the ablest men he ever met. Senator Voorhees de­ clared that Illinois had lost one of her greatest men, and Senator Hill agreed with that view. Senator Palmer said he had lost a near friend who would have probably been a senator from Illinois. All Illinois men were shocked and grieved. At New York Chauncey M. Depuw said Mayor Harrison had a splendid grasp of the reins that drove men into political prominence. Newspapers everywhere are full of eulogies of the dead mayor. The New York Times, Tribune, Morning Ad­ vertiser and other papers have long arti­ cles expressing regret at the terrible occur­ rence. WEST it is the same. Many papers notice the parallel between this assassina­ tion and the one in which Garfield was the victim and Prendergast is recoguis9d as a second Guiteau. All the papers claim that the act, how­ ever, was that of a crazy :uan. The St. Paul Globe calls it the darkest crime tha» has stained our history since President Garfield was slain. New Orleans papers are filled with the sad event, that city be­ ing especially interested from the fact that the mayor was about to espouse one of its fairest and most popular daughters. In spite of the fact that Carter H. Harrison's career was chiefly bound np in the history Of Chicago, he was a national character and his loss is the subject of voluminous notices in every part of the country. ota stock represented at the signing of qhurch.
