THE WORK OF A DYNAMITE CRANK
A Liitle Boy Accidentally Killed ' by
a Playmate Higgins Hanged
in Chicago.
San Fhascisco, March 23. Shortly
after 9 o'clock thia morning William A.
Herrick, assistant cashier of the Market
street branch of the San Francisco pav
ings Union, was shot by an unknown
man who entered the bank and banded'
Her:ok a document to read, and, while
his attention was thus attracted, fired
three shots from a revolver, one of which
strnck ihe cashier in the head, killing
him instantly. When the man had
shot Herrick, C. S. Melvin'of East Oak
land, a bookkeeper In the branch bank,
snatched a pistol and fired at the assas
sin, who turned and fled, followed by a
crowd of citizens. Several policemen
joined the pursuers, and at Fourteenth
and Mission streets; when'the mm was
ordered to stop and he refused, one of
the officers shot him and he fell. : He
waa at once taken to the receiving hos
pital in a wagon. It has been ascer
tained that the document presented by
the murderer, to Herrick was a written
demand for money and a threat to blow
up the building with nitro-glycerine in
the event of refusal. After glancing
over the document, Herrick held it out
to the man who did not take it. Her
rick dropped it back apon the counter
and 'shook his head silently. There was
not a word spoken. : The cashier's
shake of the head decided the fellow and
he at once drew a revolver from his
pocket, fired at Herrick and fled. It
seems marvelous that he did not com
mit another murder, or several mur
ders, before being caught, for he was
flourishing his 45-caliber revolver, and
had in his pockets another revolver and
a dirk knife. Besides be bad burglar's
tools, including a picklock and a fine
saw, and also a silk mask and fur cap,
evidently . intended for the purpose of
disguise. There were also in collection
some recipes for high explosives, re
cipes for poison antidotes, Greek signs
and unintelligible memoranda. -. The
, prisoner gave the name of Frederick
Borneman. He said he came from
Denver two weeks ago, although, be
- added, he had been in Portland and
Puget Sound ports.
After the capture of Borneman the
- police found he bad been struck twice
by shots, one bullet grazing the temple
and the other taking effect in his breast,
but not stopping his flight.
" The dead cashier was about 40 years
of age, bad been in the service of the
bank since 1877. His family lives in
Oakland. - -

killed by Frank Bingham, aged 14, a son
of J. A. Bingham, last evening. The
lads were .playing near the Silver Gate
flouring mill, when it was suggested
that they get some cartridges in tire mill
and try them in a revolver owned by the
Schultz boys. ' They went inside and
tried the cartridges, the Bingham . boy
holding the pistol, when a cartridge ex
ploded. The bullet struck young Schultz
in the left side, went through the heart
and came, oit of his right side. Mr.
Bingham, who owns the mill, appeared
soon afterward and found the boy dead,
and his own son half crazy with fright;
The father of the dead boy ran to the
spot, picked his son up and ran to the
house, a short distance, where examina
tion proved that the lad died instantly.
The two families have been on the most
friendly terms, and Mr. Bingham and
bis family offered every assistance in
their power to the bereaved parents.. -
Hangeit for Harder. . -
Chicago, March 23, Thomas, alias
f Buff" Higgins, was hanged in jail here
at noon for the murder of Peter Mc-
Cooey, an old .city employe, last Sep
tember. Higgins and two pals planned
to burglarize McCooey'a house. Hig
gins entered while the others kept
watch outside. McCooey was awakened
by the noise, sat up in bed and was shot
by Higgins without .a word. Shortly
before the hanging Higgins expressed
special gratification that he was not to
have to suffer death on the same ecaffeld
with the assassin Prendergast, for whom
he manifested the utmost aversion and
contempt. , He - exhibited the most
wonderful nerve throughout the trial
and afterward, and it did not desert him
at the supreme moment. He made no
remarks on the scaffold. - He claimed to
the last he was the victim of 'police per
secution and was. being sent to his death
on perjured testimony. ; . . .
As the trap' fell with a clatter, the
prisoners in the adjoining corridors Bet
up a shout, "Hang Prendergast! hang
Prendergast!" and the little assassin
cowered further back in -his cell, trem
bling and muttering imprecations.1 ' -
War Declared on Breweries.
Philadelphia, March 23. War to the
knife is to be declared by the Knights
of Labor against a score of breweries in
St. Louis, controlled by an English syn
dicate,. because of the management's
refusal to recognize union labor. A call
has been issued for a convention, of
knights at St. Louis, April-18, to decide
upon measures for driving the product
of the English , syndicate breweries out
of the market and compelling ' them to
suspend. ,
Want the Shops Bemoved.
Cheyenne, March 23, J. C. O'Hearne
of the local Union Pacific shops, is in
Omaha conferring with the-officials of the
road in regard to the proposed removal
of the Omaha shops to this city. It is
claimed that the. work can be done more
cheaply. Nearly all the wood for the
cars is secured in Oregon and Texas, and
the haul to Cheyenne would be less
than to Omaha. Five ! hundred . men
will be employed at once in the shops
here.

NEWS NOTES.
The national bank notes received for
redemption Friday were $257,090. This
statement makes demagogues of all those
populists who say the govern mant does
not redeem any notes.
It is likely the'president will veto the
seignorage' bill. He has been flooded
with petitions, 29 out of ' 30 being a
prayer to veto the bill. It is stated he
has already prepared the draft of a veto.
The extent of the opposition to the
new Chinese treaty has proved to be a
complete surprise. The republicans are
emphatic in their condemnation of It,
while the democrats seem averse to ex
pressing any opinion whatever. Repre
sentative Ellis of Oregon says: "The
reported abandonment of photographic
identification will take away one of the
vital means of restriction. Until the
full treaty is at band it will be difficult
to form an opinion of it, but If it in any
way limits the . present restrictions, or
makes Chinese immigration easier, it
will be a serious blow to the people of
the Pacific coast."

also at the royal balls of the realm for
about sixty years.- He was an inebriate

for over forty years, being discovered

WHEN SMILES ARE IMPOSSIBLE.
Woman's Pitiable Plight on a- Wet and
Windy Day. . .
. The utter absence of a sense of hu
mor from the average feminine con
positioruis never more ' clearly visible,
says the Pall -Mall Budget, than in a
busy thoroughfare on a wet and windy
day. . A woman may be a philosopher,
she may have original ideas and bril
liant theories on the fundamental ques
tions of morality and ethics, but she
rarely rises superior to a muddy boot
or a draggled petticoat. The woman
is an exception indeed who manages to
preserve a smiling face in the teeth of
an east wind which plays . shuttlecock
with her umbrella, and a dreary sleet
which ' bespatters her clothes and
freezes her fingers; young or old, fair
or plain scarcely one of them who
does not frown ominously as she
hurries along-, forgetful of pther peo
ple's feelings and umbrellas and toes,
hustling and jostling, with never a
glance for the absurdity of the situa
tion. For there is something unmiti
gutingly ridiculous about pedestrians
on a really bad day; nobody wants to
walk on. the outside of the pavement
because of the splashing omnibuses and
cabs; everybody wants to pass every
body else, regardless of the limited
space afforded by the conglomeration
of umbrellas; everybody pushes and el
bows and shoulders, and when an um
brella appears .in sight all considera
tions of gallantry or politeness or sex
or age are forgotten it , becomes
an. object lesson in "the survival
of the fittest" and a free fight or some
thing near it ensues, in which the fair
sex undoubtedly manage to bear their
part with more than- a tolerable grace.
