HANGED FOR MURDER.,
-A Desperado Ends If U Life on the 8caf-
fold.
Savannah, Mo., Sept. 8. John Bull
ing was hanged here today at 2 p. ,'nii
The life of Bulling has been marked by
many . crimes. . According to his own
confession, he has been a ' desperate
character, and for many ' years he has
been haunted by fears of arregt : for".' his
many transgressions. He first came un
der. notice' of .the .officers of the law
through his connection with a tragedy
at Pittsburg several years ago, in which
two men Vere killed. He escaped con
viction in this case, and was next heard
of in'. this' state, when the crime for
which he was hanged today was com
mitted. ' He deserted his wife in the
summer of. ,1888," "and .took up with
another woman. His abandoned wife
sought employment at the , Herbert
house, Savannah. Bulling getting .ac
cess to her room one night in 'January,
1889, with ah ax almost ' severed her
head from her body and otherwise mu
tilated the remains in a horrible man
ner. ' For this crime he was tried and
sentenced to be "hanged in March last..
The .day before the execution was to take;
place he was respited to April ; 17, and
on the night of the 10th of that month
he escaped by cutting his way out of the
Savannah jail. . A large reward was of-?
fered for his capture, and the Pinkerton.
agency put men on his trail, buttheir
search was unsuccessful. His arrest
was finally effected by the Chicago police
after a desperate running fire- with ther
murderer and the wounding of' Bulling
in the arm. His identity was discovered
the day of his capture, and he wad once
more placed in his old quarters in the
Savannah jail. On July 6, the night
after his arrival at Savannah, he at
temped suicide by taking a dose of mor
phine which he had by some means
managed to conceal about his person.
The attempt, however, was unsuccessful
and on August 7 he was again sentenced
to be hanged, making the third time he
bad Sheared the death sentence . pro
nounced on him. Last week it was dis
covered that Bulling : was planning to
break jail and cheat the gallows, but
his designs were- frustrated - by the
sheriff. - ;

war. . Observation towers are being
built close to the frontier, and the Rus
sians are also planning the like erection
of three or four large forts to form bases
for an invading army. The Russians
are also constructing pontoons at Roni
that can be used in crossing the Danube.
Some of the pontoons are ninety-six
feet long and eighteen feet wide," and
others are 150 feet long. , They are
forwarded as rapidly as possible to the
various places where pontoons might be
required. : '

GOVERNOR ' OF WARSAW.
Poles Displeased at the Appointment of
a Russian Tyrant.
St. Petersburg, Sept-4. The ap
pointment of General Komeraff as gov
ernor of Warsaw has been coldly re
ceived by the Russian Poles, as the gen
eral has a high reputation for severity
in puttingdown disaffection. While governor-general
of the Transcapian he had
an execution nearly every day of nomad
natives who had violated some -trivial
regulation of which they were ignorant.
Among Komeraff s victims was the wife
of a Russian army officer. The wife, a
young woman not long married, was, ac
cused of nihilism. - Komeraff, who knew
no higher law than the will of the czar,
held a one-sided trial, and sentenced the
lady to Siberia. Her husband, a capt
ain, committed suiciae. Komeraff is ac
knowledged to be an able commander,
and bis appointment to Warsaw may
mean that He is wanted wher6 bis mili
tary services will be needed.

Constantinople, Sept. 4. It is stated
upon good authority that the dismissal,
yesterday of the Turkish ministry is due
to the sultan's discontent at the spread
of brigandage in Turkey. Recent out
rages upon foreigners were committed
by Turkish brigands, and a demand for

representing the powers whose subjects
suffered by this lawlessness. It is un
derstood an energetic campaign will be
opened immediately with a view to sup
pressing the lawlessness complained of.

GLOOMY REPORTS FROM IRELAND.
Ztellef Money Exhausted At the End of
Their Supplies.
London, Sept. 4. Right Hon. W. L.
Jackson, member of parliament for
Leeds, financial secretary of the treas
ury, and Sir H. E. Maxwell, member of
parliament, a junior lord of the treasury,
both conservatives, who have returned
to London, after a tour of Ireland, un
dertaken oil behalf ol the treasury for
the purpose of inquiring into the relief
works, such as railways, etc., carried on
under the auspices of the government
state the' fund raised by Lord Zetland
and Mr. Balfour for the relief of the
people in the famine districts has been
exhausted, and that it is probable that
an additional appeal for aid will be
issued. The nationalists declare that
the money has in 'many cases been
wasted, and in some instances been di
verted from the purposes for which its
donors intended it. They take issue in
this respect with Messrs. Jackson and
Maxwell, who report that the fund has
been carefully administered. That ad
ditional appeals will have to be made to
the charitable on behalf of the Irish peo
ple, at all events, is only too certain.
The .most gloomy reports come from all
parts of the country. The recent storms,
have ruined the hopes of the farmers for
a good yield of crops. Cereals are
beaten into muddy soil, and, though,
some fanners will reap the wet grain to
save it from rotting in the fields, the
yields will be practically nothing. Po
tatoes in many districts are wofu'ly
blighted, and the shortage of that staple
crop will cause much distress.

Prom the National .Treasury.
Chicago, Sept. 4. At the opening of
the national Columbian commission this

poration, asking the co-operation of the

of $5,000,000 from the government for
the use of the fair, to be repaid out of
the first receipts, and a resolution of the
executive committee commission endors
ing the request, was read and referred
to the committee on judiciary.
A resolution was presented to .recon
sider and expunge from the records the '
resolution heretofore passed for the ap
pointment of a committee to recommend
certain modifications of the tariff law in
the interest of the exposition. After a
long discussion, the resolution for the
appointment of the committee was re
considered, and tho matter referred to
the committee on legislation.
A resolution pledging the commission
to take up and consider the Sunday
closing question as soon as it should
properly come before that body, was
unanimously passed.
The auditing committee presented its
report, showing an excess of expenses
by the commission for the year ending
July 1, next over the appropriation of
$23,000. In order to avoid this the com
mittee recommended the April meeting
of the committee be postponed till July,
and that the payroll be reduced. The
report was referred to the committee on
by-laws, and the commission adjourned
till 2 o'clock this afternoon.
Relief Committee Ileniljuurters.
The relief committee have designated
the county court room as the depot for
receiving contributions. A member of
the committee will be on duty at all
times to receive anything that may be
offered and to supply information as to -the
most pressing needs. Clothing for
women and children seem to be in
greatest demand as is also bedding of all
descriptions. Food supplies must be
had and everything of this nature .w ill
be promptly distributed when received.
Cash subscriptions can be njade to Judge
Thornbury, chairman of the committee
or left at any of the hunks. ' Tho secre
tary, Mr. M. A. Moody, acknowh'ges the
receipt of several additional carh sub
scriptions, among them one from Hon.
Ed. Hi rich of Salem.

the third regiment and the firemen.
Funeral services were rendered by the
Rev. Father Brongeist and thus was laid
to rest, at the age of twenty two, a gen
erous hearted, noble boy of whom it
may be said, we shall not soon see his
like again. .

New York, Sept. 5. The World says
everything points to a quiet distribution
of Mark Hopkins' millions without re
course to the courts.
