almost to overflowing- with such things as the prisoner desired to take with him. A crowd of perhaps one hundred people had assembled to cet a last look at the veteran banker. Haughey was smoking a cigar as he emerged from the carriage, and in company with the Marshal and Mr. Hall he entered the smoklnc car of the train. Had the curloua people not known that he was en route to the penitentiary none would have known that the benevolent-looking' old man walking by the side of the officer was any other than a well-to-do citizen starting- on & fishing excursion. There was no hesitancy in his step. He glanced around among the crowd, nodding to persons whom he recosrnized. ALL ABOARD FOR PRISON. Just as the train started Mr. 1IU grasped the hand of Mr. Haughey and, with a choking voice, bade him good-bye. The grip was heartily returned, and Just as Mr. Hall started to leave he was called back by his old employer, who wanted to give him some last parting message to his family. The conversation was in so low a tone that It could not be heard, and in a few moments after the train bell clanged and Mr. Haughey hastened to climb on. A number of newspaper men and others followed un the steps as the train pulled out. The first seat chosen by the prisoner happened to be on the sunny side, and Mr. Haughey got up and changed to the other Bide, saying he did not enjoy sitting in the sun. Mr. HauKhey Drended the Jail.. Mr. Hawkins, in speaking of criticism which bo me people had made against him for aUonving Mr. Haughey to go to the office of his attorney, John S. Duncan, without being accompanied by a deputy marshal, when he had refused to allow the Coffins to stay at a hotel over night, said: "My treatment of these men ha been as fair as I know how to make It. People do not fully understand the situation, Mr. Haughey's attorneys asked -me if he would be allowed to go on his own recognizance till the next morning if he was sentenced In the afternoon. I told them that if he remained in the city over night after being sentenced he would have to stay in the Jail, -as I would not take the responsibility of doing otherwise. "When the Collins were sentenced they remained in my otllce in consultation with their attorneys for several hours, when I was not about the office-, nor was my deputy. Had their attorneys asked that they be allowed to go to their attorneys' office I would have granted the request, the same as I did In Mr. Haughey's case. Mr. Haughey wanted to avoid staying in Jail over night in the county where he was so well known, and I told him the only way he could avoid it was to have sentence passed at a time so that I could take him north the same day."

Sir. Hauchey Dona Ills Prison Salt Without n. Grumble. Breda! to the Indianapolis Journal. MICHIGAN CITY. Ind.. June 7. The trip from Indianapolis was almost uneventful. As the train passed on its way up the Monon road it began to be whispered around among the passengers that the quiet, benevolent-looking" gentleman calmly reading a newspaper and smoking" a fragrant Havana was the much-talked-of expresident of the Indianapolis National Bank on his way to prison to serve a sentence of sir years. Curious eyes were then turned on him, but he continued to read and smoke, as if he were on a pleasure trip. A short while before 1 o'clock Marshal Hawkins approached the Indianapolis Journal correspondent and invited the reporter to go into the dining car to dinner with Mr. Haughey and himself. The trio passed out to dinner Just as the train was stopping at Sheridan. Mr. Haughey's appetite was good. He ate a large beefsteak, potatoes, bread, butter and coffee. The steak would have been too much for any but a hungry man to dispose of. After an hour and a half at dinner the party returned to the smoker. During the meal Mr. Haughey's attention was drawn to topics foreign to his trouble as much as possible, and at ono time, when Marshal Hawkins told a very amusing Incident that happened a few nights ago near Shelburn, he indulged In a hearty luagh.and in turn told several reminiscences. During the entire meal be seemed to have forgotten that the end of his Journey was a cell In the State's prison. After entering the smoker again he asked the reporter what the people teemed to think of the Judge's sentence, and when told that the only expressions heard were to the effect that he had been given one year more than was expected, be replied: NOT DEAD TO SYMPATHY. Well. I am glad of that. It shows that I still have the sympathy of some people." At Monon It was found that the Louisville train was a half hour late. There was nothing to do but wait for it. It was known In advance that Mr. Haughey was on the train, and as soon as he stepped off he was pointed out by several who recognized him. He had to wade the gauntlet of the curious people in passing through to reach the other train. The half hour was spent by Mr. Hauchey, the Marshal and the reporters generally together In a group discussing ordinary topics. Every few moments while waiting some one would stroll through the car and take a glance at the party. Just before leaving Monon a son of Aquilla Jones came In and Introduced himself to Mr. Haughey. He Is an express messenger on the Monon. The rest of the trip until the train stopped in Michigan city was uneventful. The news had preceded the train, and at every station eager crowds were waiting to get a glimpse of the prisoner, but most of them were disappointed in not being able to distinguish him. as he had the entire freedom of the train, and at times was standing on the platform viewing the scenery when the train stopped for a small station. On that account most of the Impertinent eyes looked In vain for some way to distinguish the noted prisoner. Several times he spoke of the way people gazed, but were unable to distinguish him from the other passengers. When the train reached the crossing of the C. & W. M. railroad,' at Michigan City, tiia iarty got off and walked over to the prison, which was less than a half mile distant. On the arrival at the prison the party were met at the door by Warden French and taken in the directors' room. Chaplain Sanders soon came in and was Introduced to Mr. Haughey. After a few moments Warden French said to Mr. Haughey: "This Is a sad duty I have to perform in your case, and I deeply sympathize with you. I hope that during your sojourn here, be it short or long, our relations shall be pleasant. I can essure you that I will do all I am permitted to do to make it . to." BEEN THERE BEFORE. Thank you. Warden." said Mr. Haughey, with a slight choking in his voice, which was the first sign he had shown of losing his self-control. "Have you ever been In this city before?" 'About fifteen years ago I was here and Visited th- prison." Mr. French then remembered that one of the prisoners had a few days ago mentioned the fact of Mr. Haughey's former visit here Mr. Haughey was assigned to ward No. 9 in the hospital, and his duties will be light, merely having to assist In caring for Che sick, and not much of that work will be expected of him. After a few moments' conversation with the chaplain. In which the time and order of the chapel services and Sunday school were explained to him, he was taken to the hospital and shown to his cell. It Is a room ten feet square, well lighted and airy. and. except for its surroundings, would hardly be taken for a prison cell. It is furnished with a -substantial Iron bedstead, with woven wire springs and a cotton top mattress. He was much pleased at the sight of a comfortable rocking chair. Mr. Haughey will bf allowed to furnish his own bed and bedding, and eueh other furniture as he may want in the room. On arrival at ward No. 9 he was turned over to Dr. Veatch, a skilled physician, who is a prisoner sent from Plymouth. and nuw the assistant hospital physician, to be properly clothed in the prison garb, lie was shown to his cell, and left for a few moments so that he could make the change privately. He was very much surprised and pleased that the suit provided fit him as if It had been made for him. Hefore being formally committed he had supper In the director's room, and s.j wa now 10 Iv a- he pleased with himself. All but

Dr. Veatch returned to the efflce and left the two men conversing in a pleasant manner, as If they had been lifelong friends. The HnuKhr) Indictment. There was a total of 137 counts In the indictment returned against Haughey. Each count charged a separate and distinct offense, and on any one of them he could have been tried had all the others proven bad. Of this number there were nve to which he pleaded guilty. These live counts were Nos. C, 127, 133 and 143. They charge him only with the misapplication of $h!.O0u at one time, the making of false entries on the book of the bank in relation to the forty-four-thousancl-tlollar transaction, making false reports relating to the condition of the bank and the false issuing of two certiticates of deposit.

Frank and Percy Coffin were seen to-night in the cell house, where your correspondent was permitted to Interview them. In regard to the statement recently made that Percy Coffin had been assigned lb the library and Frank to the chapel, he said there was no truth In it; that no favors had been shown them and none was expected. "We came here," he said, "on the sentence of a Judge who believed he was doing his duty, and I always made it a rule to take my medicine Just as the doctors prescribed It. I want no favors from Mr. French that are not shown to other prisoners. Thus far Percy and I have received the very best of treatment. Every one, from the warden down, has shown us the greatest courtesy and consideration. We were both agreeably surprised on our arrival to find that a prison Is not always conducttd by brutes, and this one is surely an exceptional one." He asked about the sentence of Mr. Haughey and was very much concerned about the way Mr. Haughey had stood the trip. When told that the sentence was six years he expressed his. sorrow and sympathy for Mr. Haughey and his family. A very pleasant half-hour was spent chatting- with the brothers and during that time it was gathered that they were fully resigned to their fate. While not giving up all hopes of the granting- of a supersedeas, the question has passed from their minds and in case it Is granted it will be an agreeable surprise, instead of a crushing disappointment, if not granted. Warden French, in speaking1 of the report that favors had been given the Coffins, said there was no truth, whatever, in it. He has not assigned them to any work, but will do so soon. He Is well pleased with them as prisoners and says their actions show them to be gentlemen. They have already made a large number of friends in the south cell house, and seem to be well liked by all. Frank Coffin also denies the reported Interview that the Indictments were submitted to Mr. Harrison. He says he never said a word about such a matter and denounces the statement as false.

PITTSBURGH Pa., June 77 The situation at McKeesport remains quiet, the only departure from this rule being: the rather rough handling of a well-d relied stranger, who was brought to the railroad station tonight and hustled on the Duitimore & Ohio train and told to leave for Pittsburg. The strikers cheered and the police made no move to Interfere In behalf of the man, whose alleged crime was that he had made himself obnoxious all day by too closely watching1 the movements of .the strikers.

CHICAGO. June 7. Judge Ewlng rendered a decision to-day which holds that a citizen of the United States cannot acquire title to real estate by Inheritance when the inheritance has to be traced back through alien ancestry, for the reason that such alien ancestry is without inheritable blood, which is necessary to transmit an inheritance from one person to another.

Tne rail was carried along under the cowcatcher for several hundred feet before the train could be stopped. The train did not leave the tracks. There were about fifty passengers aboard, but, barring a shake-up, no one was injured. It is believed that the train arrived at the scene before the villains had completed their Job.

Jennings, of Fall River, Mass., the keen-witted lawyer who rendered great assistance in saving Lizzie Borden from the gallows, is stopping at the Arlington. He doesn't look his forty years, is slight of figure, with a light reddish mustache and dark hair and eyes. He is here in behalf of the cotton manufacturers of his town, and is bending every nerve to get the Senate to agree to substitute specific instead of ad valorem duties in the matter of cotton yarns. The latter system, Mr. Jennings contends, leads to fraud and undervaluation to the constant detriment of the home producer. When asked about the celebrated murder trial Mr. Jennings spoke modestly of his own part therein, giving great credit to the senior counsel for the defense, exGovernor Robinson. "To this day," said he, "it is a puzzling mystery. I have never yet been able to solve it. Superintendent Byrnes, of the New York police force, said to me that it was a case altogether unprecedented in the annals of crime. I have never been able to form a satisfactory theory as to the murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Borden. I thought after the acquittal of Miss Borden that I had found a clew that promised to reveal all, but after working on it diligently for two months realized that it solved nothing. "Miss Lizzie Borden and her sister live very quietly in a house purchased after the tragedy. The former is not seen very often. Public opinion, locally, is about evenly divided as to her guilt, but even those who are not satisfied that she is innocent are bound to confess that the verdict of acquittal was right." * * * Obituary.

Eqttnl, If Not Superior, to Her Slater Ship, 'Columbia Her Official Trial To lie Held la July PHILADELPHIA, June 7. The newUnited States cruiser Minneapolis arrived at 6 o'clock to-night from her preliminary and builders' trial trip. The biff cruiser acquitted herself most creditably, proving" herself the equal In every way, if not the superior, of her sister ship, the Columbia. While It Is true that the Minneapolis did not equal the record of 22.87 knots an hour, made by the Columbia, on her official trip, she did better than did her sister ship on the preliminary ' trip of the latter, the speed of the Minneapolis being 21.75 knots, while that of the Columbia was but 20.93. This was accomplished in spite of the fact that the new ship had to burn anthracite coal, which is regarded as a handicap. As a result of this trial it Is freely predicted that the Minneapolis will make at least twenty-three knots on her official trial trip. Ine Minneapolis sailed from the shipyard on the morning of last Tuesday, proceeding down the Delaware to breakwater, which she reached about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. On the way down her conduct was such as to raise the expectations of those on board to the highest possible pitch. Her engines, after eight hours of constant motion, were not heated, nor was there a screw or nut loose in the entire enormous masa of machinery. Her runs on Tuesday were as follows: First run north, speed de4veloped, 19.14 knots; first run south, 20.52; seoond run north, 20.52; second run south, 20.52; third run north, 21.54; third run south, 21:04; fourth run north. 21:26; fourth run south, 21:70. Early this morning anchor "was weighed and she steamed straight out to sea. a distance of about fifty miles. Then she turned, and at 10 o'clock started back for the breakwater again. Now she was under forced draught. The shafts were whirling around at the rate of 136 revolutions per minute, when, at 1:15, she pulled up again at Cape Henlopen, Captain Sargent said she had only made 21.75 knots an hour. She had done this, he added, in water the mean depth of which is sixteen fathoms and can do better in deeper water. The record made by the Columbia on her preliminary trial was 20.98 knots, so that the Minneapolis has beaten it by about threequarters of a knot and still has somethlner up her sleeve. In horsepower, too, she excels tho Columbia, having developed 20.SOO, while that of the Columbia Is 18,000. After passing Cape Henlopen the cruiser steamed up the Delaware reaching her berth at the ship yards at 6 o'clock. The crew which manned the Minneapolis on her trial trip numbered 402 men. The maximum revolutions of the shafts were 138 to the minute. She burned almost four hundred tons of broken coal and the ighest steam pressure was 160 pounds to the inch. The new cruiser will have her official trial some time between the 1st and loth of July, probably off the Xew England coast. Institution for the Deaf.

In five minutes he returned. "My." he exclaimed, "hasn't she finished that piece yet?" "So," responded a musician with tears in his eyes, "but she will do it if somebody doesn't stop her pretty soon." B-i-(BBaB A Curious Fact. Hardware.
