A trie Current.

HAlilUS ELECTROCUTED.

Rixo SING, N.'Y., May 9.—Carlyle W. Harris was executed by electricity in the death house of the prison here at 12:40 o'clock p. in. Monday.

Contrary to the usual custom here the death warrant was not read by the warden at midnight. The doomed man had been told, however, when the end would come.' He retired early Sunday night, and though he showed no signs of breaking- down he was more nervous and excitable than usual. Principal Keeper Connaugliton said that Harris rested well. His only sign of agitation was the constant smoking of cigarettes. He was up early. He looked over the manuscript which he had prepared to be given out to the press by his relatives after the final scene in his dramatic life had euded and the curtain had been rung down. At 8 o'clock Harris ate a light breakfast. He was cool and collected and appeared to be capable of going through tho ordeal which awaited him. Tho death warrant was formally read to Harris at 8:30 o'clock.

Witnesses Assemble.

The warden invited the witnesses to go down to the execution chamber at 12:15 o'clock, and at 12:17 the death flag was placed in position to hoist. There were twenty-seven witnesses, including seven physicians and ten newspaper men, the others being state officials and friends of t.io warden. The witnesses wore seated on wooden stools arranged in a half circle at the west end of the room and facing the chair, ft was 12:30 when the witnesses entered the room, and Electrician Davis finished testing the apparatus at 13:3(1 aud announced that all was ready.

Came to Ills Death.

Harris was awaiting the final summons in his cell, and with him was Chaplain Weills. The condemned man was ready in a moment, and the little procession was quickly formed by Head Keeper Connaugliton aud two guards. Harris looked slight aud pale as he stepped into the room, and pausing an instant on tho threshold he looked calmly over the assemblediwitnesses. Warden Durston had asked the reporters to conceal their pads, saying: "Harris might not like it." The pads were put out of sight. Harris walked entirely alone, just behind Connaugliton, who pointed him to th..- clialr, and without even a look of curiosity at the thing which was to end his career, lie dropped iu the seat.

IeclHrel Kin Innocence^'

As he did. so he began to talk In a low voice, and, iu a weak voice, as though each word cost him a powerful effort, said: "I have no further reservation to make. 1 desire to say that I am absolutely innocent." These were his last words. After uttering them he seemed relieved and settled back in the eliaic to which his legs and arms had already been strapped. The electrodes were then attached to his right leg, which was bared to the knee, and the helmet containing tho other electrode was placed on his head.

The Ieath Current.

Electrician Davis attached the wires to the electrodes, and tie guards stepped back. Davis, who had gone to tho switch board.then said: "All ready." There was an instant of pause. At 12:40!,'a current of 1,7(10 volts passed through the body of Carlyle Harris. In two seconds Davis threw the switchboard back, and only ISO volts were on. Dr. Daniels still hold his hand aloft and one linger pointed above as though to indicate, that the soul of the man in the chair had passed upward. Then his arm fell and in just55seconds the current was shut off. The life of Carlyle Harris was extinct, and it was plain to all present that death had come at the first touch of tho current.

Death In Instantaneous*.

Drs. Irvine and llabershaw immediately stepped forward and examined the body, which had settled back limp in the chair. Life was extinct, and it was plain to all who were present that death had come at the first touch of the current. All the physicians present expressed themselves as satisfied that death had been instantaneous. When all had examined the body Dr. Daniels turned to the witnesses and said: "That is all." Tho witnesses who had seen other electrocutions agreed that this was the most successful one yet.

Ills Mother's Vigil.

Mrs. Harris viewed the raising of the black flag from the window of her room in a boarding house. When the ominous signal floated 011

the soft

breeze she turned quietly away, resigned and calm as she has been for the last few days. At 12:44 Allan Harris arrived at the prison and Principal Keeper Connaugliton escorted liiin to the room in which the body of his brother lay. He notified Warden Durston that an undertaker would call at the prison to remove the body. At 3 o'clock Undertaker Kipp, who carries on his business in the village of Sing Sing, drove up to tho prison. The body was placed in the casket. The undertaker refused to dis close the plans for the disposition of the body. The silver plate upon the cover of the eoiliu contained this inscription: "Curlyle W. Harris, murilored May 8, 1803, aged V3 year.- 7 months 1ft days. 'We would not if wr had known.'—'The Jury."

The doctors said after the autopsy that the examination had shown Harris to be in a healthy condition.

Story of tho Crime.

Tho crirac for which Carlyle \V. Harris was electrocuted attracted anextraordinaryamount of attention. Tho doep'jrato tight for her hoy's lift- made l»y his mother .and tho equally tiesperati? tight for his conviction made by the murdered girl's mother has inteusiiietl the dr i-

matte Interest of the trial to a wonderful dftgree. Born In Glen Falls, N. Y., of a fine family, ha lived with his mother in Brooklyn after she separated from his father. Mrs. Harris was poor and Carlyle passed through the stages of book-agent, clerk and actor, before he took up tho study of medicine at 19. In 1889 they went to Ocean Grove, N. -J., to live, and there hs met Mary Helen Potts, the murdered girL She was pretty and he took a fancy to her. Pretty girls wcro a woakness of hts and his reputation in that direction was rather unsavory. The girl's mother refused to sanction their engagement, as while in Ocean Grove Harris ran a gambling house and salooa After the return to Now York Harris and Miss Potts were secretly married and In a .little while he began to neglect her. She was In a delicate condition and an operation was performed to conoeal her oondltlon after she had Informed a friend of hers of the marriage, in case she should dlo. Afterward her uncle, a physician, discovered her state of health, and she confessed the marriage. Hersmothcr demanded a public marriage, but Harris put It off. At the time he was carrying on an Intrigue with a woman in Canandaigua, N. Y. Tired of the affair, he gave Jils girl-wlfo some morphine pills for a hoadache. They killed her and he added to his Infamy by claiming that she was a jnor-phlne-eater and had simply taken an overdose. He was very unconcerned over her death and repeatedly Insisted that the medicine he gave her was all right.

His suspicious conduct and other circumstances of the case convinced Mrs. Potts that Harris had poisoned her daughter. She told the wholo story to States Attornoy Nlcoll, and on May 13, following the girl's death, Harris was Indicted. He was brought to bar in January, 18OT, and after a trial of three weeks' duration was convicted. Sentence of death was pronounced and the date of execution was tlxeu for March 81. The case then went to the court of appeals, by .which the decision of the lower court was affirmed. Harris' attorneys then moved for a new trial, but this was ovorruled. Petitions for exeoutive clemency wore at once put In circulation and very numerously signed. The governor appointed a referee to take the evidenoo which tho defense clalmcd to have found, but after reading it he found no ground for Interference.

DEBTS OF OVER $8,000,000.

Enormous Liabilities of tho Sioux City Loan and Trust Company. Sioux CITY, la., May 9.—The schedule of liabilities of the Union Loan and Trust company will be filed by Assignee Hubbard to-day. It will place the liabilities of the company at about SS,000,000. The creditors of the company, who at first were very angry, are now more pacific and there are good prospects for a general settlement of the troubles out of the court, though the creditors will get but a very small percentage. The chief reason for a peaceable settlement is that the creditors are all banks which do not want to be known as losers. The assignee's schedule will not give names of credits ors on this account.

IN A HALO OF LIGHT.

World's Pair Grounds Bathed In an Electrical Sheen,

ILLUMINATION AT JACKSON PARK.

Thousands of Visitors Fascinated the Brilliant Spectacle—-Chicago Aldermen Denounce Sunday

Closing.

A GRAND DISPLAY.

WORLD'S FAIU GROUNDS, CHICAGO, May 9.—The clitnax in electricity's upward march through the nineteenth century was reached Monday night when the world's fair buildings and grounds were illuminated in honor of the first "open evening" of the exposition. The whiteness of the buildings gave added luster to the rays from the million and more lights in the grand plaza, while the golden statues of "The Republic" anil "Diana" upon which the light from the west end of Administration plaza poured in blinding showers, sent back a happy response which blended harmoniously with the whole. Tho different buildings were illuminated to a certain extent but the Administration building on tho west and the peristyle in the east inclosing the grand court of honor held the multitude spell-bound and easily carried off the honors of the night.

Viewed by Thousands.

The crowds began to arrive early, all the rail and steamer routes bringing immense numbers. By the time darkness had settled over the white city fully 20,000 people wete on the scene, this crowd being augmented later by probably 5,000.

The Court of Honor.

Administration building was the first to be electrified and its beautiful exterior from base to tip of dome was gilded with rows of incandescent lighta. At the base of its dome thirty-two blazing torches on bronze stands were ranged equi-distant around its circumference, adding much to its splendid appearance. The peristyle soon added its row of lights and this was the signal for the triple row of arc lamps along either side of the lagoon to lend their aid and in an instant they were sending bright rays across the waterway, completing the band encircling the grand plaza. The main lagoon lay under the sheen of the thousands of lights like a great mirror. The arc and peristyle lights formed its gilded frame, and around the, sides, about a foot from the water's edge, a row of electric bulbs lent the added beauty of a golden bevel to the splendid plate. Its surface was dotted here and there with the electric launches and the bright gondolas.

Effect of the Search Lights. Gaily bedecked gondoliers stood on the stem and stem of their craft and as their oars dipped silently in and out of the water, and their bodies swayed to and fro, the romantic looking boat and its oarsmen formed a novel silhouette in the sparkling basin, disappearing a moment latter as it passed under the shadow of a bridge, l'owerful search lights on top of Manufactures and Agricultural buildings and Music hall brought out new beauties in the scene for the benefit of the spectators.

The three searchlights were by preconcerted signal concentrated upon the magnificent MacMonnie's fountain, situated immediately in front of the Administration building. The marble figures were rendered immaculate in an instant and the glare falling full and powerful upon the handsome women at tho oars and in the seat of honor, sent dazzling rays of crystal purity down and across the silvery lagoon.

When shortly before 10 o'clock the currents were turned off, a sigh went up from thousands of hearts and darkness put an end to a scene of splendor such as was probably never before presented to human eyes.

In the Administration Ilulldlnc, Thousands of the visitors swarmed into the Administration building as soon as they reached the illuminated portion of the park to view the beautiful dome studded with hundreds of incandescent lights which gleamed like diamonds in the diadem of a king.

Heard the Music.

When Michael Brand's orchestra from Cincinnati began to pour forth melody upon the scene of splendor there was a rush of people to tho south side of Music hall where the musicians were stationed under a cluster of arc lights. The music rendered was classic, patriotic and popular, including "America."

Monday's Visitors.

Twenty-one thousand people bought admission tickets at the world's fair grounds up to 6 o'clock Monday evening. Tho number of tickets sold at the down-town offices is estimated at 3,000 to 4,000. A rough guess at the number of paid odmlsslsons between 0 and 10 p. m. places it at 8,000, making a total of more than 80,000 paid admissions for the day.

Favors 8 on day Opening.

The city council Monday evening passed by a unanimous vote a set of resolutions stating that 100,000 or more people were denied admittance to the World's Columbian exposition Sunday on the alleged reason that their sight-seeing within the grounds would be a violation of the. American idea of the Sabbath day that such exclusion deprived the people of legitimate and rational enjoyment, education, and the treasury of the World's Columbian exposition of {50,000. The resolutions express the disapproval of the action of the directory in excluding the public from the grounds, and hope that the Sunday closing rule will be abrogated and abandoned and the public be admitted to tho grounds everyday of the week.

Llsxle Borden Arraigned. /y NEW BEDFORD, Mass., May 9.—Lizzie Borden, who has been confined in the Taunton jail ever since last August under indictment for the murder of her father and mother August 4, in Full River, was on Monday afternoon arraigned before Judge Hammond in the superior court. She pleaded not guilty, and was remanded to jail to await trial, which will take place early in June.

The Chemical National Hunk of Chicago CliiK.-K Its Doors-OflU'luls Claim That Its Depositors AVlli Tone NtttMnK--Thc

Worlii'H Fair ltnincit IK SeeIIrei!, C-IIICAUO. May 9.—The Chemical na­

tional bank of this cily. which established a brunch at Jackson pari,, where world's fair concessionaires have beer, 'depositing their cash, closed its doors

Monday. Ofiicials say that, the assets will satisfy the liabilities, but nothing definite in this respect could be discovered by National Bank Kxatninei' an Sturges, who was asked to take charge of the affairs of the institution.

The bank was not a member of the clearing house, but at a late hour made I application to the clearing-house coinmittee for help. Being unable to satisfy the committee as to its solvency, the committee decided to render no assistance. When the reply of the clearing bouse committee was received a conference of tho officers was held and it was seen that there was nothing left but to suspend. It was decided to keep the doors of the bank closed to-

a

day. The bank has turned over to the Equitable Trust company, of this city, bills receivable to the face value of 1147,000 to sccure deposits at its world's fair branch amounting to S104.000.

Beyond repeating that the "breathing spell" needed had not been vouchsafed President Curry was indisposed to discuss the failure. "One thing is certain," he said, "neither our customers nor any other banks are go'ug to get hurt. Our loans maybe slow, but they are sound."

An officer of the National bank of Illinois, through which the Chemical cleared, said Monday night that the deposits in the Chemical up to date would aggregute about $1,400,000. "lint the depositors need not worry," he said. "Their interests are safe."

The branch of the bank located tit the world's fair grounds and which lias the exclusive privilege of the banking,' business at the worVVs fait- has been thoroughly secured by the officers and directors of the main branch. None of the depositors in the world's fair branch of tho Chemical can suffer. Every precaution was taken to protect this portion of the bank's patrons, and to prevent any reflection on the financial standing of the world's fair. The capital stock of the bank is .*•1,000.000.

The cause assigned for the failure is in the placing of bad loans. It is also rumored that the reserve fund has been heavily drawn upon. The recent financial panic in New York may be attributed as one of the causes of the trouble, and in fact it is said that it was through a lack of confidence in the money market that the doors were closed.
