Carter Jlarriaon, mayor of Chicago, wua shot and killed Saturday night by a crank who gives the iiume of Eu gene Patrio I'rondergiiHt. Mr. Har mon had been ut the world's fair ull day, returning home at 6 o'clock. Feeling tjinnawhat tired, he lay down. About 8 o'clock tho murderer rang the door bell, nayiug to the servant he wished to aee tho mayor., She admit ted him, and Mr. Harrison, hearing the voices, came forward into the hall, w: en the Bcrvcnt retired. Without a word Prendergunt pulled a revolver and began shooting. He aliot three limes, every bullet hitting its murk. One bullet aba ttored Mr. Harrison'a right iirtn, utioilier Ntnick him in the abdo men, and a third entered the cheat just above the heart. Mr. Hurrnnn sank to the floor and died in about 20 iiiiuutea after tho affray. Meantime tho murderer walked out of the door into the dnrknesBand waa lost to aight.

About 25 minute after tho shooting Prc.ndcrgust wulkod into tho Deepluiti- e street station wnn a revolver in iiih hand and, nayiug he hud murdered Mr. Harrison, gave himself up to the sergeant in charge. As aoon n the news spread about, a crowd of several thousand people gathered about the station and threatened to lynch him. they were pacified with great diiiioully and went away. Sunday the police took Prendergast to a secret hiding nlace. Mr. Harrison line neen mayor ot Chicago live timea, and waa to have been married November 7 to Misa An nie Howard, of New Orlcana. Prendergast is a lunatic of the Gut teau typo and hi particular grievance iiguinet Mayor Hurrinou was the tat ter's refusal to iimke Frendergan cor poration counsel of Chicago. Ilia dis eased imagination led hira to believe that if he waa the possessor ot this of llce he could correct ninny of the evils which he behoved the cily to bo aullor ing. Harrison simply ienored the threats and appeals of Prenderguat whose disappointment fiublly took a homicidal turn and he determined to bo revenged. Acting upon this deter mination be secured a weapon and go ing to tho home of Mr, Harrison, he mercilessly shot him to death. Pren (Icrg.mt also has a hohicination that (lie enemies of free silver should be destroyed, and wrote letters to several repeal" senators telling them that they would be shot down like dogs if they fiersisted in their opposition to the while money. He also wrote the presi dent a threatening letter on the same subject to which Mr, Cleveland, of cm 1 so, paid no attention.
