ASSASSINATED AT HIS RESIDENCE The Murderer Surrenders Himself and Is Nov Closely Guarded to Prevent Lynching. Chicago, Oct. 28. Another crazy crank ha done hi deadly work, and Carter H. Harrison, m five-time mayor of Chicago and one of the best known men in the west, lie dead at hi home, 231 South Ashland Boulevard. Three bullets entered hi body, two making wound (ufficient to cause death. The murder was committed by Eugene Pat rick Prendergast, a paper-carrier, who had declared Mayor Harrison bad prom ised to make him rornoration counsel vwvSfsL and bad not kept his word. 1 iite, tie said, was the only t ' ' ft reason for commit- CAsTTlfcH nAKRtSOH. tingthecrime. The only person in the bonse at the time of the shooting, besides Mr. Harrison, was hi son, William Preston Harrison, aged 25, and the servants. A little, before 8 o'clock the door bell rang, and when Mary Hansen, a domestic, opened the door, she was confronted by man about 5 feet 5 inches high, smooth shaven and w ith clean-cut features, lighted up by a pair of dark eyes. "I Mr. Harrison in?" asked the man in a quiet, pleasant voice. "Yes, ir," responded the girl, as she threw open the door to admit hi en trance. "I would like to see him, please," said the man; as he walked toward the back end of the hall. Mayor Harrison was in the dining room, which opened into the rear of the ball. Hearing a man ask for him, he stepped into the hall and walked toward Prendergast. Without saying a word, Prendergast drew a revolver and commenced to tire. He pulled the trigger three times, and every bullet hit its mark. One bullet shattered Harrison' left hand ; another passed into the lower right side of the abdomen, making a wound that would have been mortal within a few days, while the third bullet entered the chest slightly aliove the heart. This wound was the immediate cause of death. AFTER TUX FU1IXO. So soon as Prendergast began to fire, Harrison turned and walked rapidly to ward the dining-room. He passed through a room into the butler' pantry, where, weakened by the loa of blood, he fell to the floor. Prendergast did not follow up his victim, but replaced his re volver in his pocket with the same de liberation that marked all his actions, and started toward the door. Just as he was passing out, William Preston Harri son came tearing dow n the stairs' aud the coachman ran into the rear end of the hall. The cries of Mary Hansen directed the son to where the father lay, but the coachman wa after other game. He had a revolver of his own, and as quickly as he realized what had occurred he sent a bullet after the retreating form of the murderer. A second time he fired, hut both bullets went wild. Running to the door, the coachman prepared to con tinue hostilities, but several people en tered to learn the cause of the shooting, and by the time the coachman reached the door the murderer had disappeared. THK MAYOK's DKATH. Across Ashland boulevard, directly op posite the Harrison residence, is the home of W. J. Chalmers, a wealthy maker of mining machinery. Chalmers was standing upon the front steps of his residence when tiie shot were fired. He dashed across the street and met Prendergast at the gate. "What i it?" said Chalmers. The man walked rapidly away without reply ing, and Chalmers hastened into the house and reached Harrison almost at the sa ne moment that William Preston Harrison found where his father lay. "Are you hurt?" BBked Chalmers, as he and the son of the dying man strove to raise him. "I have got my death, Chalmers," re sponded the mayor: "I'm shot in the heart aud a dead man." A moment later Harrison said with a voice rapidly losing strength : "Unbutton my vest; there' where the tiouble is." By this time the stricken man was borne to a couch in an adjoining room, and as he spoke Chalmer gently oeiied ' hi wairtcoat. The front of the shirt j was aosked in blood, w hich welled j -Mm WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1. ISO.!. rapidly from the wound. "It'a through the heart," said the mayor again, hi voice scarcely above whisper. A moment later he sank into uncon sciousness, and 20 minntes after receiv ing the wound Mr. Harrison wa dead. About 23 minute after the shooting, Sergeant Frank McDonald wa standing in the office of the Desplainei-etreet police tation. Every available officer had already hurried out to work on the case and McDonald was preparing to follow. The door was poshed gently open and in walked a small, smooth shaven, poorly-dressed man carrying a revolver in his hand. He shook like a man with the palsy. Ilia face was white and drawn. Great drops of per spiration chased each other down his face, and hi tottering limbs seemed scarcely able to hold him op. Looking McDonald straight in the eyes, he said : "I did it." "You did it?" aeked McDonald. "Yes, I did." "Did what?" said the officer, as he laid one hand on the fellow's shoulder, and witn the other took the revolver. "I shot Mayor Harrison, and that is what I shot hi iu with," wa the reply, "What made you do it?" asked Mc Donald. "He said he would make me corpo ration counsel, and he did not. That is what I shot him for." Prendergast was trembling so- he could scarcely stand, and the officer led him to a chair snd asked a few more questions, to which Prendergast would only make the reply he had first given a to the cause of the shooting. He said that after leaving Harrison's house, ho had taken a street car and started toward Desplaines-street station with the object of giving himBe'f up, adding : "The car did not go very fast, or I would have been here sooner." Til KEATS OF LYNCHING. The cell door had ecarcely closed be hind the murderer when an excited crowd began gathering about the police station. Patrol wagon rattled up to the place, cab and carriages came by the score, and the occupants crowded and pushed their way into the office. Personal friends of the dead mayor, city officials and the curious crowded against each other in a wilfendeavor to learn if the story, which spread like wildfire through the city, was true. An iin- meuse throng gathered and the laboring men who had stopped on their way home added their voice to the subdued threats of vengeance, for Mr. Harrison was popular with the masses. The streets were soon filled for blocks, and the officer, as they looked out the sta tion window npon the surging sea of angry faces, became alarmed for the safety of their prisoner. A hasty con ference wab held and it was decided to remove Prendergast to the central sta tion in the ciiy hall. The trembling, pale-faced man was led lietweeu stal wart officers to the rear door and hurried away in the darkness. Mr. Chalmers said late last night re garding the shooting: After we had carried Mr. Harrison to his couch, he said it was useless to do anything for him, and hi last words, a nearly a I can remember them, were: 'Give me water send for Annie give me water.' Young Harrison said to me : 'I told father long ago something like this would happen. He was too easy in letting people in to see him, cranks and everybody.' " Miss Annie Howard, fiancee of Mr. Harrison, wa in the house at the time the fatal shot was fired. In accordance with the wounded man's request, she was at once nuimoned and was present when the end came. Miss Howard' grief wa pitiable. She wa completely overcome, and was taken to the house of Carter Harrison, jr., at Jackson Park, who when the news of his father's death reached him, hastened home. Mr. Heaton Owsley, the mayor' daughter, who reside nearly five mile from her father' residence, received the new by telephone and hastened to Ash land boulevard, but her father was dead fully 20 minutes before she arrived.

San Feancihco, Oct. 30. A cutting affray occurred hero last night. Jauiea Murry, an ex-conviet, and Allan Came ron, a bartender, hail a dispute in a saloon ab&ut 11 o'clock, over payment for a glass of beer. Murray thereupon attacked Cameron with a knife, stabbing him tw ice, also rushing upon Juan de Succi, a Portuguese bystander, and cut ting him severely. He then ran out, and, colliding with an old woman named Hattie Bird, he cut at her, inflicting a deep wound in the thigh. He was then arrested. The victims were taken to the receiving hospital, where Cameron and Succi were found to be in a critical condition- Cameron will probably die. Attempt to Wreck a Train. Rocuekteh, X. Y., Oct. 30. An at tempt was made last night to wreck No. 6 on the Auburn road, duo here at 9:25 p.m. The train, which is an ex press, was going at a high rate of speed at the time. Charles Breeze, a o e armed tramp, discovered a pile of r I- roa'l tie on the track at Hail road M s , who took a lantern and ran down ne track just in time to signal the t) n. Xo one was found in the locality al though a number of tramps have been, eeen in the vicinity within the past few days. The paesengers were greatly ter rified, and at first thought an attempt was to be made to rob the train. Many hid their valuables in all sorts of con venient places, one man hiding his money between his head and wig. At the point where the attempt to wreck the train was made in a sharp curve with a steep embankment, and had the train struck the obstruction, the result would have undoubtedly been very fcrious. The Murderer of HarrUon. Chicago, Oct. 29. Prendergast, is be yond doubt a lunatic, pure and simple. He had studied and read cranky eco nomic theories until his mind gave way. He imagined that he was a reformer. He had schemes for the betterment of all mankind. He w as especially inter ested in the welfare of Chicago, and im agined that he alone could reform the abuses from which the city is suffering. He was especially bitter in his denunci ation of the railroad grade crossings, w hich are responsible for many deaths every year; and the idea became lixeu in his mind that if he were made coro ration couneel he could solve the prob lem of elevating all the railroad tracks within the city limits. Ixmg brooding over this subject created the delusion Unit the mayor had promised him the office. He insisted, uion the fulfillment of the imaginary promise. Hehaunted the municipal building and denounced the city officials. Finally lie determined that the mayor was acting in bad faith. This idea grew upon him and he thought of it day and night. Hi dis eased brain was, incapable of entertain ing any other idea, at least so it seemed. At last he determined to demand from the mayor himself satisfaction for his imaginary wrongs. He hud now reached the homicidal stge. 1 le liought a cheap second-hand revolver and called at the mayor's residence. Mr. Harri son, accustomed to the vagaries of all sort of cranks, treated his demands lightly. Prendergast killed him. That is the stery. Koanl t Kiiullitlon.

Wheeling, W. Va., Oct. 29. There has long been bad blood between the nnlon and non-union glass-blowers at Wellsburv, and when the glass worka broke away from the union two week ago this feud was intensified. Among the non-union men recently employed there was Hugh Gordon of Philadelphia. Yesterday morning the mouth-piece of all the blow-pipe at the Riverside worka were scoured and washed, for tear that some of the union men might have attempted to carry out the threats they have made about using poison. After the dinner hour the men did not repeat the precautionary measure they had taken in the morning. Hugh Gordon was the first man to put his blow-pipe to his mouth. He threw it dow n and ran to a water tub, his mouth seeming to be full of liquid fire. The water i-eouiod to make the burning worse, and the first swallow carried the burning fluid into the throat and stomach. Doc tor after doctor was called. None of them gave any relief until one resorted to heroic measures, and by the use oi a dangerous drug neutralized the action of the acid, but two ghastly holes had been eaten through Gordon's lower lip, and all the exposed membranous sur face are so inflamed and swollen that the lower lip is turned inside out over the chin. The mouth, palate, tonsils und lining of the throat and passage to the stomach are nearly eaten away. Gordon will probably die. The doctors are unable to determine what acid or acids were used in the blowpipe, as the effect are so much more severe than anything they have ever known and the usual antidotes are of no use. Two other -non-union workmen were also badly burned, but neither of theui are in -a dangerous condition. Charles Iirady, an ex-union employo at Riverside, was arrested last night, but there was no evidence on which to hold him. Tut to Flight All the peculiar troubles that beset a woman. The only guaranteed remedy for them is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pres cription. For women suffering from any chronic"feuiiilecomplaint" or weakness ; for women who are run-down and over worked ; lor women w ho are expecting to become in hers, ami for mothers who are nursing and exhausted; .at the change from girltiood to womanhood ; and later, at the critical "change of life" it is a medicine that safely and cer tainly builds up, strengthens, regulates and cures. If it doesn't, if it even fails to benefit or cure, you have your money back. What you are sure of, if you use Dr. Sage's Catarrh Kemedy, is either a per fect and permanent cure for your Catarrh, no matter how bad your case may be, or f.jOO in cash. The proprietors of the medicine promise to pay you the money, if they can't cure you. Perhaps some of our readers would like to know in what respect Chamber lain' Cough Remedy is better than any other. We will tell you. When this remedo has been taken as soon as a cold has been contracted, and before it haa become settled in the system, it will counteract the effect of the cjld and greatly lessen its severity, and it's the only remedy that will do this. It acts in perfect harmony with nature and aids nature in relieving the lungs, open ing the secretions, liquifying the mu cous and canning its expulsion from the air cells of the lungs, and restoring the system to a strong and healthy condi tion. No other remedy in the market possesses these remarkable properties. No other will cure a rold so quickly. Fur sale by illakeley A Houghton.
