Anollier crank bag followed the bent of hia mania, and Car ter II. Harrlnon, five times Mayor of ChlcHKO, ai.d one of the best known men in the went, lie dead at hi borne, 231 South Abland boulevard. Tbree biillutH entered his body, two making wound iufllcient to cauw) death. The murder wa couuuitted by Eugene 1'atrick Prendertat, a patier carrier, who had declared that Mayor Harrmon bad promiwd to make him corporation counitel and bad not kept hi word. Thin, he Raid, wa hi aole reaon for committing the crime. The only neraoti io the house at the time of the ithootlntf, bemdes Mr. Uarri un, wa hi ton, William Preaton Har rlnon, ikihI 25 year, and the servant. Shortly before 8 o'clock the door beil rang, and when Mary Hanaen. a domes tic, opened the door ahe wa confronted bv a man atniut 5 feet. 5 incite IiIkIi, amooth (haven, with clean-cut feature lit up by a pair of dark eyea. "I Mr. Harrison in?" asked the man, In a Quiet pleasant voice. "Yes. sir." replied the iti", a abe tli re w open the door to admit bta en trance. "I would like to ee him' please," said the man, a be walked toward the back end of the ball. Mayor Harrison waa in the dining room, which opened Into the rear of the ball, and hearing the man ask lor him stepped Into the hall and walked toward Prendeiyast. Without saying a word the murderer drew a revolver and com menced to Bre. He pulled the trigger but three times, and every bullet bit ita mark. One bullet shattered Harri son' left hand, another passed into the lower right side of the abdomen, making wound that would bave been mortal within a few daya. The third bullet entered hi chest slightly above tbe leart, and this wound was the immedi ate cause of death . Aa soon as Prenderuast beiian to fire Harrison turned and walked rapidly toward the dintngroom. lie passed through the room and into thebntlei's riant rv where, weakened bv loss of I J I -w blood, he fell to the floor, rrenuergaat did not follow his victim, but placed the revolver in bis pocket with the same de liberation that had marked all of bis action and started toward the door Just aa he waa passing out William Preston Harrison came tearing down the stairs and tbe family coachman ran into the rear end ol the hall. The cries Marv Hantien directed the eon to where his father lay, but the coachman waa after other game. He bad a revol ver of his own and as quick as he real iaed what had occurred he sent a bullet oft..r tim iliHimDcarimt form of the murderer. A second time he fired, but both bul lets went wild. Running to the door the coachman prepared to continue bos' tilitiea, but several people were just then enterina to learn the cause of the (hooting, and by the time the coachman reached the sidewalk the murderer had iliHannenred. , , When vonnir Harrison came down stairs and learned the cause of the Bhoot- ncr be turned in the burglar alarm, and even before he reached his father's side a patrol wagon filled with officers from Lakestreet station was dashing toward the Mavor'B house. By the time the of fillers arrived all trace of the murderer Had beon lost, and even before the Mayor breathed his last ofllcera from every eta tion in the city were on the lookout for the murdeier. Every possible effort was made to se cure medical attendance for Mr. Harri' son, but when Dr. Lyman, the first physician to arrive, reached the Mayor's side he was a dead man. About twentv-five minutes after tbe shooting Sergeant Frank McDonald was Htamlimr in the office of the Dcsplaines street Police station. Every available officer had already hurried out to work on the case and McDonald waa prepar ing to follow. The door was pushed gen tlv mien and in walked a small, smooth shaven, poorly dressed man, carrying a revolver In his hand. He shook like a mn with Dalsev : bis face was white and drawn ; great drops of perspiration chaaed .-h other down his face, and nis louer- tr., liir.ha aenmed scarcely able to hold him up. Looking at McDonald straight in the eve, he said : "I did it." . , , "You did it?" asked McDonald. "Yes, I did." "Did what?" said tbe officers, aa he laid on the man's shouldor and with the other took the reyolver. "I shot Mayor Harrison, and that la what I shot him with," wa the reply. What made you do H7" asked McDonald. "Ha said be would made me Corpora tion Counael, and be did not; that is what I shot him for." Prenderifast wa trembling so that he could scarcely stand, and the officer led him to a chair and asked him a few more question, to which Prendergast would only make trie reply he ha! first given as to the cause of the shooting. He said that after leaving Harrison's house be had taken a streetcar and started toward the Desplaines-street sta tion with the object of giving himself up. "Prendergast is crazy," said Corra tion Counsel Kraus, who wa perhaps the closest friend Mayor Harrison bad. "I know hitn well, and he called at my office and told me he was going to be aooointed mv successor. Tne man was so oaloablv out of his mind that I did not consider it worth while to talk seri ously w ith him. I spoke to the Mayor about it and he said he bad received threatening letters from the fellow, bnt he paid do attention to them, aa tbe man was insane." SILVER REPEALED. The Bill Passed the Senate on Monday Now In the House. TEXT OF THE 5EVT fILYEtt LAW. Ex-Attorney Central (Jarland'i Daagh- ter Suicide Xe Can Known home More Cranks. Tbi World'! Fair Cloud Chicago, Oct. 30. The official life of the world' fair is ended. This evening waa to have been one of dazzling bril liancy but the awful and untimely death of Mayor Harrison changed all that. Appropriate action wa taken at the memorial meeting in festival hall in memory of Chicago's beloved chief mag- Rtraie and all other ceremonies were abandoned. The great ciowd in attend ance, sorre of whom had come from far- distant states to assist at rejoicing over the successful ending of the great exposi tion, fillinir every seat and occupying everv foot of standing room, was hushed. - . . i President Palmer, of the national com-, mission, presided. Rev. Dr. Barrows delivered a prayer and read an address prepared by President Higinbotham, of the fair directory, previous to the mayor's taking off. This wa thought best, because it was so consonant with the spirit of the meeting. After the speech, appropriate resolutions concern ing the death of Mayor Harrison and paying to his memory a tnouie oi re stiect and admiration, were adopted. Engrossed copies will be Bent to the familv of Mr. Harnaon. Then President Thomas W. Palmer, of the national com mission, announced that, in yiew of the sad circumstances which brought the assemblage together, the closing of the fair would be marked only by a salute of cannon aud the hauling down ol flairs. When that bad taken place, be declared, in obedience to the act of con gress, that the exposition waa officially closed. tHB TOTAL ATTENDANCE. The total paid attendance at the fair from the opening to the close has been 21,458,910. Tbe total free admissions, which ini lude employee of all kinds, ex hibitors, concessionaires, etc., have been 5,953,818. Today's admissions were 242,575 of which 208,173 paid. Th. OnUide Attendance. Chicago, Oct 30. The Chicago roads were busy today in figuring up the world's fair traffic since tbe opening ol the fair. With most of them the con clusions arrived at were but estimates, based on the most reliable data at hand. It will be a month or so before strictly accurate figures can be had. So far as the figures at hand go, they show that the number of people brought into Chicago by the twenty-one passenger lines ending here during the fair period were, in round numbers, 3,336,000. This allows 350,000 each for the five leading passenirer lines; 300.000 each for the next five ; 150,000 each for the next group of five, and 50,000 each for the six weak lines. Allowieg that eacn nf thesn Dassenuers visited the fair five limes would account for an attendance of 15.755,000 which would be a good pro portion of the outside visitors. It would leave but a little over 5,000,000 visit from Chicago. Silver in the Treasury, ' Washington, Oct. 30. Senator Sher man has received from Secretary Carlisle reply to his letter concerning the seiirniorage now in the treasury. The secretary says that, of the treasury notes issued under the Sherman act, $52,305,840 have, upon demand of the holders, been redeemed in gold and JG.224,192 in silver dollars. The secre tary's letters shows the seigniorage in the treasury, carried under the bherman Aft. amounts to $6,976,098. The silver bullion on hand October 1 amounted to 137.606.257 fine ounces costing $124, 501,428. With the probable purchases of October. Carlisle thinks there will be 139,666,257 ounces of silver bullion in the treasury November l.the cost of V,;,.h will be 125.888.929. and the coinage value $180,320,008, giving seigniorage of $54,431,080 Tbe latest in visiting cards at tho E tkrphisk Okficb. trices io buu you. Wasiiihctos. Nov. 1. Silver pur chased by the government ceased today. The purpose for which Cleveland called congress in extraordinary session was ac complished at 4 :25 this afternoon, when he affixed his signature to the bill to re peal unconstitutionally the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. When the bill reached the house from the senate there was an attempt to filibuster bnt the silver men failed to keep the floor hot with notions and Speaker Crisp over whelmed them by putting the pending motion to order the previous question. It carried with a roar. The filibusters had been caught napping and nothing remained for them except to submit. For thirty minutes, under the rules, fol lowed a rattle of oratory amid the confusion Jand excitement. At it conclusion a vote was taken on Bland's free coinage substitute. The majority against it waa 73. Then came the onal vote on concurring in the sen ate amendments. The vote stood 193 for concurrence and 94 against. When the original bill passed the bouse, August 28, the vote stood 201 to 100, so that, although the total vote today is smaller, the proportion is practically the same. Washington, Oct. 30. The long con flict in the senate over the bill to repeal the purchasing clause of the Sherman act came to an end today with a victory on the side for repeal. The vote on the passage of the bill as amended (that is, of the Yoorhies substitute) waa ayes 43, noes 32. There was no exultation nor excitement of any kind oyer the result, but there was probably a feeling of relief on all sides that the end of tbe struggle had been reached. Tomorrow the secretary of the senate will appear at the bar of the house with message informing that body that the bill has been passed with an amendment, and requesting the conenrrence of the house in that amendment. Tbe message and bill may remain on the speaker's desk until it is convenient to have it laid before the body, or it may be referred to a committee, or tbe senate amendment may be concurred in without reference to any committee, and by a direct vote of tbe house. Not only was the repeal fight brought to a termination today, but so also was the abnormally long legislative day of Tuesday, the 17th of October. Tbe debate on repeal was continued for sixty-one days, during which five volumes of the Congressional Record have been filled with speeches, amounting in tbe aggregate to about 20,000,000 words, THE BILL AS REPORTED. The full text of the repeal bill aa re ported to the senate from the financial committee is: "That so much of the act approved July 14, 1890, entitled 'An act directing the purchase! of silver bullion and the lasue of treasury notes, and for other purposes.' as directs the secretary of the treasury to purchase from time to time silver bullion to the aggregate amount of 4,500,000 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered in each month, at the market price therefor, not exceed ing $1 for 371,25 grains pure silver, and to issue in payment for Buch purchases treasu'y notes of the United States, bo and the same is hereby Tepealexl. And it is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States to continue the use of both gold and silver as standard money, and to coin both gold and silver into money of equal intrinsic and exchanable vulue, such equality to be secured through interna tional agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as will insure the mainten ence of a parity iu the value of coins of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in tne payment oi debts. And it is hereby further declared that the efforts of the government should be 8teadily directed to the es tablishment of sucii a sale system oi biroetalism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or issued by the United States in the markets and in the payment ot debts."

Edwin Gould. second son of the late Jay Gould and co-heir of the latter's millions, had his first startling experience with a crank this afternoon. Al z O'cioca, as uouiu was Bitting in his private omce, a stian hilv dressed man entered, walked to his desk and said: "Give me $5000, and give it to me quick, or give me a tip on the maraet." uouiu asaeu nun o.f ilnwn until Via ant the mnnev from ,u o. 1. .. u..w. n j the safe.
