The Sheriff went out and solectedaspot for the execution. He ■ptecod a email box against a tree and returned to the jail and beckoned to the prisoner to follow him. Dick straightened himself up, looked around at the ten guards surrounding him, and leisurely took a seat ujxni the box, and this proving unsteady, he arose and jammed it down solidlv, and then again sat upon it as coolly as though he were taking his seat to be photographed. A red handkerchief was tied over his eyes and a piece of white paper pinned over his heart. Not a muscle of his face or hands moved. Two guards took position twenty-live feet distant, and both fired at the white spot, killing Dick instantly. Armstrong Surrenders*.

MeKane is Safe and unless something unforeseen happens he is saved from a felon s cell to.' many months to come, and perhaps be will never be required to wear a prison garb. Judge bursman of Troy, consented to issue a certificate of reasonable doubt, provided such certificate was not issued by Judge Colon of Brooklyn. Jud-jeCul-len has not as vet heard any argument upon the motion now belore him and will not in any likelihood be in position to give his decision for a week. For this reason, ail' in.ormation about the action of Judge Fursman of Trov.it

Jealously guarded by theMcKaneitea.at Albany. The plea made be-ore Judge ' Fursman !h that the At a Katie fury was tempered with white out of the jury box and that the jury rendered a verdict upon public sentiment rather than upon the testimony presented. —- i A STARTLING ARBKST. A Vromlnrnt New Yorker Chare G. Dull A Co. With For- M K New York special: F '***,:. formerly manager ’ Wrrnan, Co.'s Mercaiitil'* H. G. Ddn <& the Staten Ir' z. builder of I promir Transit Ruilro id, and Jam 1 ’ ■hdVOorxo oi annexation of r the Ohitod States was arThursday, charged with fori Rories amounting to $229,600. He was arraigned before Judge Martine in chambers in the general sessions, and committed to the tombs in default of s2s.OtK> bail. The arrest was made by Detectives Von 1 Cerichton and Phil Reilly in the afternoon at the office of Mr. vViman’s son-in-law, Norman S. Miller, on a bench Warrant, issued by Judge Martine soon I after the grand jury had handed down i two indictments charging Wiman with j forgery in the second degree. Mr. \Viman exoressed some surprise J at his arrest and then caked if there would be an opportunity to get bail. He said he ought to have a lawyer as he would like to be represented by counsel. An effort was made by friends to get. bai)/lato in the afternoon, but witho .t'suecess. Neither did Mr. Wiman have counsel when he was tsken to the general sessions by the detectives. HESITATING. All Kinds of Business Waits to l-earn What Wilt He the Future. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: The waitinj/condition of business is one in which -weekly fluctuations mean nothing. Business of a 1 kinds is hesitating until more can be determined about the future, and meanwhile orders which will keep hands at work for a time are given .and accepted, this work increasing in some lines and in some others decreasing. without affording reasonable indications of the future. Prices are again greatly depressed, as low or lower than ever having been made in wheat, silver and some manufactured products, and neither cotton, wool nor raw iron have advanced. Tue glutted money market continues to show that the volume of business is still inadequate to employ the circulation available, and the withdrawal of about $6U,000,060 from the New York market by the sale of government bonds does nbt cause the expected strengthening of rates. With gradually decreasing shipments of merchandise t,o other countries, foreign exchange rises, and some exports of gold are expected. The volume of domestictrade doej not seem to increase. Cool Robbery of a Jewelry Store. At Hancock, Mo., a stranger entered the store ot W. A. Allen & Son, and with a revolver in his hand ordered “hands up ” Mr. Allen and five or six men were in the store, and the order was promptly obeyed. He then proceeded to the money drawer, taking its contents, helped himself to some jewelry, a revolver and all the cartridges in stock, coolly bode the occupants good bye. backed out of the store and escaped before they realized the true situation. One of the parties in the store attempted to leave the building under fright when the robber commanded him togetnrn, which he promptly did withsis hands elevate!. The robber wore no mask, is a small man with a very red, smooth face, sandy hair, and •is undoubtedly a professional. AU Indicted. The grand jury at Mason, Mich., returned ten indictments against State officials in the salary amendment scandal. Secretary of State Jochim, Treasurer Ham bit er, Land Commissioner Berry, Attorney General Ellis, Clerks Potter and Warren and others, are charged with a fraudulent canvass of the salary amendment Vote of IS. 3. The main count recites that Adolphus A. Ellis and others at Lansing April 1, 1891, atthe Secretary of State’s office did falsely, corruptly, willfu ly, and feloniously alter and forge one of said public records, lhen follows a detai ed narrative of how the returns were raised so as to show 1,318 votes instead of 318 ;or Ellis’ salary amendment.

I Washington eorrespoudenre: , Tho indication! are that tho tariff 6 discussion in the Semite will continue t for two, thrje or oven four months. The average Dewtqutper reader, if ho lias not watched tho pri greet of tariff t discussions in tho past, will wonder, 3 perhaps, how eigity-fivo Senators will 3 marage to consume three months in - tariff debate. If each Senator ha I an 3 entire leg slativo day allotted to him, ’ with the privilege of speaking from 10 o’clock in the morning until fl in the •ven ng, tho debate would last but lit- ( Uj 1 nger.

Few K atly Debater’. There are few ready tariff debaters in the Senate and the running discussion of the Wilson b 11 will be confined to fi.e or six men. The other Senato e will guard l >eal i itereste and make set spi eehes. TLe Senators who will be hea d most frequently from day t:> day a e Vest, M Ils, Ji nes of Arkansas, McPherson and Harris on the Democratic sida; Aldrich, A Hson Sherman, Teller and Lodge on the Republican. There are the men who will debate pending amendments leriotidy and to the enjoyment of tho z enata and the galleriea There a-e, however, few Senators who will n ,t make set speeches on the Wilsoa bill. Lach of them considers it a duty to his State to tell h w he stmds toward p otoct.on.and why. jSf? 1 "Thera will be a CL. & chance f< r all the /qffivnv o ators,for the Sanate never attempts to shut off the prepar.d oratonal effort as the House i theS3natespaeches sss * TOB u ' Pß^a will undoubtedly be delivered on the ; Senate floor.

Petitions and menu rials f >r and against features oi the Wilson bill are being reoaived. Beni. Durfee, t e la iff expert of the fl ance committee, hat several thousand of ti e e in hi< room, oil jacketed and prep med for reference. The Senate discu sion on the tariff ®is conside ‘ed of more importance th n the debate in the House, be ause the Senators a e suppraed to .-be much moie independent of ex cutive influence, and, in fact, they have shown thoir inuei endene in dealing with the Irratidentß ncminar Iti n». And, mo • ver. when the House wm ’■MATCH MOBKILt, disC there were two great possibilltie tns* the Wife n b il would not reach the President now there is only one obstruction, opposition in the Senate.

Tha.ro is very little doubt in tho ' minds of any of tho Domowatic Senators that the doltato may be prolonged for several weeks. Republican Senui tors aro anxious to delay the vote in the hope that influences may bo brough t to b?ar which will defeat the bill altogether. They have tho precodent ol a throe months'debate allowed to the i Democrats when the McKinley bill was under discussion, and they hove little doubt that the Democrats will be will--1 ing to accord them tho same I privilege of dlsqus-ing at length the Wilson bl 1. Under tho rules of the Senato debate can bo prolongod by a stubborn ml nority from tho beginning of a session until its close, for tho puroose of preventing the jmssage of an ol> 1 noxious measure. Once in the history of the Fenute it adjourned wit.h---i out the trans lotion of any business bo- ■ cau<e, the membership being divided equally botWAen the two parties, the Democrats would not agree that the 1 vote of the Vice President should bn ' ca t to elect a Republican secretary and other offices. This is one of the few instances in which the jmwer to i filibuster in tho Senate has bjen ued , to prevent u tion of any kind. No Attempt te Filibus»or. It is a notable faet that »o attempt was made to prevent the ptwssgo of tho McKinley tariff bill by filibu.-.tor-ing. In tho s ime wa y Republican / Senators w ill offer / iSlavA no objection to tho J'cFK passage of the /. XOjw Wilson bill after Jgß' they havo hud a good opportunity *W’v. to doliate it and make it. if possi- “■ r bio, so unacceptable to some of the ™ Democratic Sena- fvwator lodge. tors that it will not command the nocsary majority when it is put on passage. Several Republican Senators, said, just before tho vote on the Mc--1 Kinley bill was taken, that two, and I passibly three, Democratic votes could 1 tc had if they wore needed. The Democrats who were said to bo availab'e for the passage ot tho McKinleye'bill at that time are still members of the Senate, and the vota on tho Wilson bill ought to show how much truth thuro was in the statements made by the Republican Sonar tors four years ago. tho Republieans believe that t hey fcSfjc. V a tan defeat the bill on a straight vote before that tim? expiie<, it is pretty certa n that the ’ discussion will last [V three months. Thero Z I may be propositions \ V/ from the Democratic side to close debate sbnator ALLisow, in( j jr, j; x a tinie for a vote. Unloubtedly tho chairman of the Finance Committee will arise in his place on four or five occasions and apjeal to Senators to come to some agree mint by which an early vote can be hai. That l.ttlo ceremonial was pm-formed by Mr. Voorhees with frequency during the dheu-sion of the silvcr-purchase-repeal bill at the speei-1 session of Corgress. But this is done ehiofly to convince tho country that the Democratic Soqat >rs are not piolonging the dis-cussion-willingly. Great ] reisure will beJjruijght to bear by the representatives of business inteieste to have the debate brought to a speedy termination, so that the country may know what business conditions it has to meet. In deference to their demand, the Democratic Senators will make demonstrations at regular intervals apparently looking to a termination of the discussion, but rea'ly with no hope that the Republican Senators will respond to their appaala. The Republican Senators willJpssume very willingly tho respon ibi sty for postponing the vote on the Wilson bill until every chance of defeating it has beqn exhausted. MOVABLE SIDEWALKS. A Company Has Bren Formed to Conatrnct One In Cklcaffo. A company has been formed in Chicago to tuild a movable sidewalk in the ci y like that in operation at the Worlds Fair. While elevated railroads serve well there ger.erally, in certain business quarters the streets are eo crowded that tho erection ol tracks is impossib e, and here it ii propo ed to utifi'.o ths msvable sidewalk. Thus, it is h >ped, a ready communication may be established betw.en hotels, theaters, railway stati ns, etc. These sidewalks will be elevated about foui tom feet above the streets and operated pr. bably by eie tric.ty. Tho entire width of each structure is planned to te occupied by one fixed platfoim and two m vable ones, that ad acent td'the fixed platform to be run at a rata of three miles pm hour, and that most remote from it at the rate of s’x miles per hour. By walking in the direction of motion the rate ol progre s can be increased over that oi the platform by an am sunt equal tc the speed at w'hicn a passenger may w.i k. Inasmuch as the movab'o sidewal.xs are cmtinuotrS and always in motion, theie need be no delays ir waiting for cars, nep ean thore bo anj danger of c 1 ision or other ocii iett which result fr. m the running of independent train i.

Without division it was carried. Coins f>om Private Mint*. TheCcnstitetionof the United States provides that no State shall coin money: but it seems that individuals might do so, up till about the time of the late civil war. Os course, it has always been aioin t the law to counterfeit or imitate the coinage of the United States, and so. necessarily, a coin issued by a private mint would have to be so distinctive in ihape or markings as to show that it was not intended to pass ai Federal monay. For this reason the SSO gold coin; or tokens issued by several private mints in California during the flush times fff the 50's were octagonal in shape. Gold coins were alsa is ued by the Mormons of Utah at about tho same time, and the same thing had been done, by parties in Georgia and North Caro.nia. Probably the latest of these private mints was tho one established in Donvorin the early tOe. It 18 said that the coinageof this establishment being brought to the attention of Secretary Chao, that eminent finarpnr was much astonished to find a respectable , firm of banke s eng 'god in making and I uttering money, and was still further surpri ed when the Attorney General I of the United States declared they had the to do so. This incident caused the pa-tago of a law absolutely prohib- ! itimr indivi’uals from issuing or circulating anything intended in any manner to serve ai mcney.—Washington Star. - Why, Indeed? Why should a police officer in chaee of a f g tivo in the street feel cal ed up nto use fireai mt? That is a query i which it i, difficult for tie police to answer. A mas < n the police force draws a good salary—about twice as much a l , with hit education, he couli I make in uny business. He is supposed to be in good physical condition,sot 'at ho may run d wn any criminal who seeks safety in flight. But it would I e safe to wagor that no two pol.ee otl cors in ten on tho San Francisco force could overtake a fairly athletic criminal if the fugitive we e given a itart of Jia' f a block. The majority of our p“lico are too fat; t teir lungs nre in such poor cor.diti n.that if a i ugitive ruts up a steep street the chance tare all in I favor of his escape. It is only fa.r to 1 demand of the police that they keep in as fair condition as the regular army, but every ona knows that suc’t a comparitoi would be fatal to the force. Why not have regu’ar police inspection’ and throw out the men who accumulate fat on beer and idleness?— San Francisco Chronicle.
