Alter Hun'i Scalp.
- : Columbus, 0., Nov. 8. A local dem
ocratic newspaper printed an interview
with C. .V. Harris, secretary of the dem
ocratic central committee, in which he
is credited with saying that at a confer
ence of democratic leaders of the state it
was decided " to pledge the votes of as
many democratic- members of the dem
cratic assembly as could be controlled,
to Governor Bnshnell for senator, on
condition that the governor could com
mand enough republican votes to'make
bis election possible. Mr. Harris is ed

assaying: "
"We have decided to throw the dem

firm of Johnson Bros.,ot that place, and
they handle a great many patent med
icines for throat and lung diseases. He
had all these to select from, and skilled
physicians to answer to hie call, but se
lected this remedy for use . in his own

perior to any other, and famous the
country over tor its cures of the croup.
Mr. Johnson says this is the best selling
cough medicine they handle, and that it
gives splendid satisfaction in all cases.

BELIEF FOR WHALERS.
The Revenue Cutter Bear Will be Dis
patched to San Francisco.
Washington, Nov. 8. There was a
conference at the Wbite Honee today at
tended by the Secretaires Gage; Long
and Alger, Commodore Melville ' and
Commander Dickens, of the navy, and
Captain Showalter, commander of the
revenue service, to consider rneang for
relief of the American whaling fleet said
to be icebound in Behring sea. It was
decided to send the revenue cutter Bear
to the relief of the whalers. .
Orders have been issued to put the
Bear in commission for the voyage, and
Captain Showalter says she will be ready
to sail as soon as she can be provisioned
which will take but a short time.
Commodore Melville, who bas had
great experience in the Arctic, gave the.
conference the benefit of. his experience
and knowledge, but it appears- there is
yet great lack of information as to
the location of the wh'alere, also as to
whether or not they are in destitute cir
cumstances. Secretary Long bas issued
orders to ascertain most definitely,' if
possible the, existing conditions. It is
probable that the Bear will stop at some
points on the Alaskan coast, and take
onboard a supply of reindeer and dogs
to be used in crossing the ice floes ! when
the vessel can no longer be navigated. .

MRS. N ACK CONFESSES
Tells How She Helped Her
Lover. ,
THE GCLDEXSUPPE CASE IS OVER
Decoyed the Victim into a Vacant Bonn
Where Thome, Her Accomplice, -.
, Shot Him. -
New York, Nov. 10. The startling
announcement in U.e morning papers
that Mis. Neck had confessed the mur
der of William Guldensuppe and impli
cated her lover, Martin Thorn, was con
firmed when court assembled by. Judge
Weller, who is assisting Distrlct-Attor
ney Young in the prosecution.
After Thorn entered the courtroom
his couneel informed the prisoner of the
confession ot Mrs. ' Nack. Thorn's face
flushed. -- . - - '.
Mrs, Nack entered the court room at
about 10 o'clock. Thorn, watched -her
closely.. She soon took the stand and
began the recital of her story. She said
Guldensuppe was known as her hus
band. Thorn boarded with them. Quar
rels in the family were frequent. On
one occasion .Guldensuppe kicked Thorn
down stairs. Thorn, thereupon fired at
Guldensuppe with a piBtol, but did not
hit him. On another occasion Thorn
said he wanted to kill Guldensuppe, but
the witness objected and told him to
kill her. ." . ; ."
Gradually Lawyer Weller led the wit
ness up to the events of Friday morning,
June 25, the day on which the crime
wascommited. The witness said she
and Guldersuppe left New York about
10 a. m., and after crossing the - ferry
they boarded a car for Woodside cot
tage. "
"I had a key to-the house," she said,
"and opened the front door. I told Gul
densuppe to examine the house - while I
went into the yard. He went up stairs
and I heard a shot. Thorn came - run
ning down, and when he met me, said :
'I have shot him ; be is dead.' He wag
excited and I was halt dead," said the
witness. .' '
The witness said that at 5 o'clock in
the afternoon Thorn had various parts
of Guldensuppe's body tied up in par
cels. When they were ready to leave
the cottage, she took one package and
Thorn took another, both going to the
ferry, where the head was thrown over
board. On June 26 they returned to
the cottage for the remainder of the
body, which ' they also threw into the
river..
' During the recital-of this story Thorn
listened to every word with his lips
tightly compressed. -
Attorney Weller asked Mrs. Nack :
"Why do you make this, statement."
" She replied:
"I don't want to have it on my mind."
She then said:
"I make this statement of my own
free will. No promise of mercy bas been
made to me, but I wanted to clear my
mind; I don't care what they do with
me."
During the cross-examination by At
torney Howe, Mrs. Nack admitted that
the Woodside house was rented fo the
sole purpose of murdering Guldensuppe ;
that she decoyed him 'there, and that
she boughthe material in which parts
of the body were wrapped. Adroitly the
lawyer made the witness- own up to the
most damning and cold-blooded prep
arations for ridding herself of her lover.
Dm rant to Hang Friday.
San Fbancisco, Nov. 10, William
Henry Tneodore Durrant, condemned
murder of Miss Blanche Lamont, and
the euppoeed murderer of Miss Minnie
Williams also, was taken before Judge
Bahr this morning for the purpose of
having the date for his execution reset.
His attorney made a desperate attempt
to secure futher delay, but Judge Bahr
brushed aside all technicalities objecting
to the proceedings, and ordered that.
Darrant's execution should take place on
Friday next.
District Attorney Bams appeared be
fore Judge Bahrs yesterday, and stated
that he had received official notice that
the supreme court of the United States
had affirmed the decision of the lower
court in the Durrant case. Judge Bahrs
thereupon made an order directing that
Durrant be brought . before him this
morning in order that a ne.w date might
be set for the carrying out of the sen
tence already" imposed, upon the con
demned murderer. It was rumored last
evening that Friday next might be se
lected as the day for the execution. The
events of the day ,have confirmed that
rumor as above related.
Durrant's attorneys have made a des
perate straggle to save the life of their
client, stubbornly fighting the case
through the courts, and employing ev
ery subterfuge known to the legal -pro
fession, to delay execution of the death
sentence. Their last resource has now
been exhausted and it seems probable
that tardy justice is about to overtake
the convicted murderer of Miss Blanche
Lamont, and supposed, murderer of Miss
Minnie Williams.
WILL. BB REOPENED.
Three Suits are to be Filed Within a
. Few Days.
San Fbancisco, Nov. 10. Within a
few days one or more contests are to be
filed in the superior eourt against the
trust will of the late- James G Fair.
This will vas dated September 21, 1834,
and the original was stolen from the
county clerk's office and never recov
ered. - .
There is certain to be a -suit brought
by the children Mrs. -Oelrichs, Miss
Virginia Fair and Charles L. Fair, Mrs.
Nettie Craven will probably file a second
suit, and a third may be commenced in
the name of an alleged grandchild of the
deceased millionaire. '''
The contests will be commenced on the
ground that Senator Fair was incompe
tent orlnsane at the time be made- the
trust will, and that he was cciing under
undue influence and duress. ' . .
Mrs. Craven's . suit will probably be
brought by her as the widow of the ex-
senator. Judge Slack s decision - left
her in such a position that she must
fight the trust will if she expects to ge.t
any thing at all. The' contest will be
upon the same general ground as that of
the three children.
It is stated thai contest " of the heirs
will be brought to obtain relief in case
Judge Slack is reversed by the supreme
court in bis ruling destroying the trust
clause in the will.

BOTH BRANCHES SAFE
Republicans Will Control
' the Assembly. '
CHAIR.MAX HACKETT'S STATEMENT
Rumors of Factional Strife Denied Cit
liens' Union Men Will Aet With
. the Republicans.
New York, Nov. 11. Chairman C.W.
Hackett, of the republican state com
mitte, has given out the following state
ment concerning the organization of the
New York legislature : ; .
"The republicans have elected a sub
stantial majority in the next assembly,
and will organize the body. The returns
as canvassed officially make it certain
that the republican vote in the next
house will exceed the democratic by at
least 11. - A republican will be elected
speaker, and republican ideas of legisla
tion will orevail in the sessions, . The
lower bouse will be In sympathy with
the republican senate and the republican
governor. The rumor of factional dif
ferences and the claims of democrats
which have been , circulated - with the
manifest purpose of confusing the peo
ple of the State as to the political com
plexion of the assembly, are not worthy
of serious consideration. . : -
"Eighty-one republicans hava been
elected to the assembly. Two of them
from New York.ciity were nominated by
the Citizens' Union. Their affiiliations
have been always with the republicans
Doubtless on considering and acting
upon legislation effecting municipal af
fairs they will be guided to some extent
by the views of those responsible " for
their nominatiou and election, but on
qustions involving party considerations
it is as absurd to suppose that they will
join the democrats as that the democrats
will rally under their leadership. ,:; '
"There is nothing in the avowed prin
ciples of the Citizens' Union as I un
derstand them, which - would compel
men holding the ideas - of either great
party to abandon them and take up with
their old-time opponents. Even if such
an absurdity' were possible there are
still enough representatives to guaran
tee that a republican speaker will pre
side, and that the legislation will be. di
rected along the lines of established re
publican policy." " '
X-RAY KVIDKXCE CONSIDERED.
Roentgen's Discovery in Court for The
First Time.
New York. Nov. 11. "X" rays were
used in court for the first time in this
country in a damage suit before a jury
in the Brooklyn superior court. Martin
Hutchinson, 9 years old, was subjected
to a ray examination for several min
utes. He - was injured on ' Christmas
night, 1895, by being ejected from a
street -car. The plaintiff contends that
the head of the left humerus - was frac
tured from the boy's fall from the car
when the conductor threw him Off.
A dynamo was placed in front of the
jury box and near the lawyers' table,
and a large Crooks tube was used.' Soon
after the case had been resumed young
Hutchinson's jacket and outside shirt
was removed. The arms and shoulders
were exposed. ;
Before the examination the question
as to whether any possible injury would
result from the examination was dis
cussed. J. Stewart Ross, who . repre
sents the plaintiff, insisted that a limit
as to the time of the examination should
be set. . It was decided that it should
be three minutes..- v .
When the boy took bis seat with his
left shoulder about six inches' from tbe
Crookes tube, be smiled' at the jury and
the lawyers. Dr. William Morton looked
at the boy's ehotilder through a .ftVnro
scope, and Judge Johnson, who presided
at the trial, stood up and time J tbe pro
ceeding.' . George L. Fowler then took
the fleuro5Cope and looked at 'the, boy's
left arm and ehonlder until time was
called. , -
Dr Morton and Drv Fowler, will tell
on the stand the results of the exami
nation. -- They are witnesses for the de
fense. . .
. Previous to that made in court there
had been examinations of the boy's
shoulder. ' The examinations were made
to show the results of the fracture.
