Worried over financial matters ami domestic troubles IMvvanl C. Miller of TVrre, Haute, ex-editor of th Standard Farmer of that city, committed suicide by taking poison in this city Wednesday afternoon. The inside living in tho neighboi hoed of 20S W. Court-st. did n.t consider it anything straner yesterday afternoon when a man, who appeared to be altogether out f place in that locality, went to the above number and entered thj house. In fact bo attention was paid to him. and as the house was without a tenant the people supposed he was looking over the j.Uue with a view of renting. The occurrence was forgotten until about 4:H0 o'clock when some children about the house discovered the stranger lying on the l! ,r insdde. lie had the appearance of being asleep and the children anms-d themselves by throwing small stones and lUks at him. He did not awake and one more venturesome than the rest elimled in a window and, upon making a closer examination, discovered that the man was in a dying condition. Children Krltc Ii tenetl. Frightened almost out of her wits the little colored 'irl who made the discovery ran from the bouse and soon alarmed the neighborhood. Numbers of people soon gathered about the house and talked over the occurrence in subdued tones. There are a number of disreputable reports within a, stone's throw of the houH? and among the first to arrive were the inmates of these places, who stood about half dressed, bareheaded and laboring under great excite-mt-nt. The.e people are all very superstitious, and the fact that a man should come into their neighborhood to kill himself was looked upon by them as an ill omen. Some suggested that a physician be sent for and a boy named Albert W;ule ran over to Washington-st., where he encountered Ietective Kinney, to whom he related the circumstances. The latter returned to the house with the boy and a few moments later hastily dispatched some on for a physician. Ir. C M. Kisenbeiss was passing on YVash-ington-st.. and he was called. The man wa.s dying and he lived only about five minutes after he arrived. Coroner Notified. Coroner Heck was notified and arrived on the scene shortly after Milb-r's death. In searching his pockets a number of letters and papers were found which explains Miller's reasons for killing himself. In lSSfi he was married to his now divorced wife in a little town in Knox county, this state, and they lived together until May 15, ivy?,. Two children .were born, and after living in a number rf places they removed to Terre Haute, and Miller tu:k charge of the Standard Farmer, an advocate of the' people's party. Until this time lie and his wife lived happily together and no clouds arose to mar the happiness of their domestic, circle. The Fanner was not a success, and it seems Miller, as well as the men who were backing the enterprise, lost considerable money in the venture. He had secured the services of a young man named Kosooe McHride to assist him about the otfiee, and it is from that time that he dates his troubles. McLride boarded at his home, and according to Miller's story, became, very friendly with Mrs. Miller. Her husband did not accus her of unfaithfulness but Mys that he believed Fhe thought more of McHride than she did of him. After several quarrels over the matter the couple separated and in a short time Mrs. Miller applied for and was granted a divorce on the ground of failure to provide. Clime to ThN Clly. A few weeks ago Miller came to this city and went to work for K. E. Parker, a job printer. at 3D and 41 W. Georgla-st., where he Worked up until the time of his death." It was known amonjf his friends tHat he was 'contemplating suicide, as he told a number of them he Intended doing so, and tried to borrow a revolver from some of them. They all supposed that he was merely talking and would not kill himself and they did not give themselves any anxiety over his statement to that effect, lie was not a drinking man, but was somewhat eccentric, .and a few years ago lost several hundred dollars in trying to solve the mystery of perpetual motion. This made him somewhat despondent and anion his personal effects was found the following note, which was supposed to have l-en written shortly before he swallowed the poison which caused his death: "The present financial crisis explained, im läse and its effect, the future and what will be the ultimate result of the work of congress. A remedy which is not everybody's remedy. If you want information read the histories of other nations." ' It la evident that the remedy he spoke of was auicide, and in this way he could be relieved of all the cares and burdens of life. Letter to the Irema. The following letter was also found in one of his pockets: "To the I'ress Having been a newspaper man for years, will you see that

Another letter written to his wife was also found in which he claims to be innocent of any wrong-doing and tells her that she is the cause of his death by driving him from home and otherwise mistreating him. He does not accuse her of unfaithfulness, saying he believes she is as pure and spotless as the snow. He begs of her to take care of the children and ends by telling her that he intends to kill himself, as he can no longer bear the burden of life. GOVERNOR HAS NO POWER, so SAYS ATTO II V. Y-G K. K It A L GUKi: SMITH. Heferrlnc. of Con rue, to III Authority lit the Matter of SiiipreMMliiK' Ho by Price-Tilth t He Sit)M the .Matter I Kutlrely In the Hand of the Local Authorities Some Stricture) Fanned. Attorney-General Green Smith was much wrought up Tuesday over an editorial in one of the evening papers which pointed out his duties. "I want it understood," he said, "that the attorneygeneral of this state is geing to do as he pleases in this matter (the Koby matter), and when he wants a paper to give him any information he will let that paper know. The fact of the matter is I have no riglit to give orders, nor has the governor. This is an affair that must be settled by the local civil authorities and it would be impudence no, I won't say impudence it would be improper for the governor to instruct the local officials as to how to proceed. "The governor has got himself into this thing by attempting to do something that he has no authority to do and now he don't know how to get out of it. He has bitten off more than lie can swallow. The idea of the governor calling out the militia to stop the Itoby prize fights is preposterous. He can only order out the militia when the local authorities are unable to enf r?e the law. and then he must be asked by the local authorities. "When the first fight occurred the sheriff of Lake county und his twenty deputies were present and occupied a private box, as the guests of the Columbian club. This is a matter of record, and the claim, which they make, that they were unable to stop th fight is a subterfuge. And so is this cry that as the grand Jury is not in session there Is no use of arresting the men. That is another subterfuge. The law of the state says that during a recess of the grand Jury the prosecuting attorney shall arraign an accused and try him ujon information. "Furthermore, I want to pay that I think it was very imprudent in Judge Gillette to write that long letter to the governor in which he gave his opinion of a case which will probably come before him. It is a new departure In law for a Judge to express his opinion before a trial. I think it was equally imprudent in the governor to write to Judge Gillette and ask his opinion for the Hume reason that it was imprudent for the Judge to reply as he did. The governor has no right to interfere ' in the matter at all. The law says It is the right and duty of the people of Iake county to prosecute these people. Yhls is a government for the people and by the people and the people of Lake county are the ones to look after Lake county, and not the governor nor the attorney-general. Why I wouldn't go into the county to prosecute these people, or anyone else, without an invitation from the local authorities. The governor has less power than any of the täte officials, and for him to say that the authorities of this or of any-other county shall or shall not do this thing or that tiling is going clear beyond his right or duties. When the people of Iake county decide that they cannot enforce the laws and call upon the governor for assistance, then, but not until then, is it his right to act." Mr. Smith was very much In earnest about this, and emphasized hi? remarks with the Daniel Webster style of gesture to the Iminent peril of an oak chair which received the weight of his clenched flat.

GHASTLY ATTEMPT TO F.LFXTHO. CITE MlHDHTtKK TAYLOIU The First Attempt Xot Successful and the GnHplns Victim Finally Killed Another Shock of Electricity Story of the Crime. AUBURN. N. Y., July 27. A . ghastly tragedy, the sequel of another one, was enacted in the prison here today. Murderer William G. Taylor, who cut the throat of a fellow-convict, was placed in the electric execution chair today to explate with his own life the crime he had committed. He received a shock of 1,750 volts, but the contact was not sufficiently prolonged, and when it was sought to turn on the current again the dynamo would not do its work. The man slowly came back toward consciousness, to prevent which morphine was administered, while preparations were being made to get electric supply from the city's "dy-j namo plant. Then a second and suc cessful attempt was made. The first tidings given of the con demned man to the ' outer world this morning was the simple announcement of Warden Stout to an Associated I'ress correspondent that Taylor had repented. The chaplain of the x prison was with nun much or the time yesterday, and upon awakening this morning the con demned man evidenced a change of heart and requested the presence of the priests. The Rev. Father Seymour and the Rev. Father Xe'-zel were asked to attend him. They visited him early this morning and Taylor placed himself entirely in their hands, -nrginj? them to remain- with him until his soul had departed. He professed penitence for his great crime and said he was perfectly resigned to his fate, lie had prepared a paper which he would either read while standing by the chair or else deliver it to the priests for publication. When Warden Stout visited him last night he found him in a seemingly happy frame rf mind. He gave him three cigars, and then offered two to Johnson, who occupies an adjoining cell and who 13 also awaiting electrocution for the murder of two convicts. Johnson declined, as he did not smoke, and the warden asked Taylor if he could get away with the whole lot. He replied with a smik: that it depended on how much time he would give him to live. His last sleep on earth seemed tranquil and undisturbed, and he awoke refreshed at the usual hour this morning. Taylor was kept in ignorance of his doomsday until 7:30 o'clock this morning, when the warden read the death warrant to him. When he had finished he remarked, "I'll call for you about 11:30." Taylor replied cheerfully. "You'll find me ready." Taylor ate a hearty breakfast of steak and pototoes, eggs, coffee and toast soon after lie had been bathed and shaved, ami declared that he was feeling first rate. Taylor' Last Statement. The priests were then admitted, and he was left alone with his confessors. The witnesses were asked to report at the warden's office -at 12 o'clock noon, and among those who responded was Dr. Nettle K. Jenkins of this city, the first woman to witness an execution by electricity. The paper which Taylor had prepared for publication was delivered to the warden just before the hour fixed for the execution. After expressing profound approbation of the efforts made In his defense by Counselor Gushing, he speaks of the regret he feels at treating his attorney with contempt during the trial. "I had got the idea in my head," he says, "that I, being a negro and a convict and my victim being white, the trial would be noth'rg but a farce. In fact, the counsel appointed to defend me would have an understanding with the district attorney to the purpose that while appearing to defend me, he would in reality be playing right into the hands of the said attorney. 1 was much mistaken In Mr. Cushing. and hope he will pardon me for doubting his character." In closing he said: "I shall not die a murderer, as there? is no murder in my heart, and I have been brought to see the mad injustice of my hatred of people1. Feeling this way, I bad rather die than live; and I shall not die as I thought I would at the time of the crime and of my trial, but, instead of hating everybody, I shall have pity and sympathy for all people, for I have learned that they ull need it and are worthy of it." It was 12:40 o'clock when the warden invited the witnesses to follow him to the death chamber. State Rleetrieian Davis was at the electrical cabinet, and his preliminary tests with the bank of lncandescents were entirely satisfactory, the dial indicating a voltage of 1,320. In th? morning he had run it up to 1,820 volts. The two priests, three keepers and the condemned soon came in from the adjoining room, and Taylor was immediately hustled into the chair and tightly pinioned. His face wore a look of self-determination, with lips tightly compressed. He carried a cruel tlx in his right hand. He was dressed in Mack anil wore .1 new pair of prison-made shoes. When all was ready the signal was given and the curren turned on. Taylor's powerful frame shot back and up In the chair until the traps creaked, and simultaneously there was a crash unlike anything ever before heard under like circumstances. The strain upon the footrest had broken, and the underpining of the chair gave way. The body sank to a reclining position, with the victims feet resting on the floor. The spectators were startled, but did not move. Everybody supposed the victim was dead from the first shok, when a strange noise was heard. He had begun to gasp for breath and saliva was seen to exude from his mouth. "Turn on the current," was the command of the warden, and Electrician Davis tried to obey, but was dumbfounded lo find no response to the turning of the lever. The dynamo had broken down. The labored breathing of the victim continued and his chst rose and fell convulsively. Davis hastened outside to the dynamo to ascertain the trouble, and found the armature had burned out. It could be used no more that day. Second Attempt Siieeesaf ill. The victim, who was now grasping and groaning aloud, was unbound and was placed upon a cot and carried Into the adjoining room. His pulse grew stronger and he endeavored several times to rise from the cot. Physicians said he was unconscious, precisely In the condition of a man stricken with apoplexy. He would recover, they thought, and the only way to carry out the sentence of the law wa3 to again place him in the chair. Linemen quickly connected the prison apparatus with the electric light plant, and in an hour all was ready for the second electrocution. Taylor Continued to grow stronger and was given an injection of morphine. A small dose of chloroform was also administered He was then carried bodily to the chair, which had been repaired, and was- strapped into a sitting posture. The current was then turned on, the body etralfhtened up, and for a half minute 1,210 volts coursed through Taylor's unconscious form, and he was pronounced dead. The story of the murder which Taylor expiated with his life today Is neither romantic nor sensational. It was simply a case of murder, pure and simple, without any unusual environments. The motive was neither robbery, revenge nor Jealousy. Suicide miht have been ascribed as the motive, for, according to the murderer's story, he was tired of prison life and yearned for the electric chair, although upon the trial an effort was mad to. prove that Taylor had been nursing a grudge against his victim for Informing on him lotis before the trasredy. Taylor and

his victim, Solomon Johnaon. were second term men, and were shop mates In the broom shop of Auburn prison. Taylor was twenty-seven years old, and was in for ten years for burglary. The murder was perpetrated on the afternoon of Sept. 20, 1S92. There was no eye witness to the deed, and the fact that a murder had been committed was not known until it was announced by the murderer himself at keepers' hall. lie gave the Infonnation to the hall-keeper through the grated window in these words: "If you fellows will go over and look under the broom shop you'll find a carcass there." He carried In his hand a keen-edged knife still reeking with his victim's lifeblood, which he surrendered. The beepers looked for the body of the victim at the spot indicated. It was easily found, and proved to be that of Solomon Johnson, who was convicted of an assault in Cayuga county. There was an ugly gash in the throat, which extended from ear to ear. The man was stone dead and his head was nearly severed from his body. Principal Keeper Shaw swore that when he asked Taylor why he did It, he replied: "I've got tired of this thing, staying In prison all the time, and I'd rather take a dose of electricity, and have done with it." r Taylor was tried and convicted. Sentence was pronounced Jan. 1, and the prisoner received his doom without- a

tremor. hile the judge was in. the midst of his address, recounting the crime for which Taylor was to tile; the latter interrupted with the remark, "Well, I know all that now." The Judge continued, and when he had' finished Taylor thanktd him and; at down. HE MADE A GOOD CATCH. AXDY KIMIlF.ItLAX, A COl'.VTEIlFKITKIt, IS I,ADi:i). Dcvuty " S. Mimliil Jonen llua fl Mom! Remarkable Experience in the Wild of Southern 1 11 d limn He Kill ully Lands His 1'rlnuner 11t u Lnte Hour of MfiLt. Thursday afternoon Deputy U. S. Marhal Jones came up from the southern part of the state having in custody probably one of the most persistent shovers of counterfeit money ever known in the West and a man who has earned a reputation as a desperate criminal second to few in the West. In the New Albany district for several months business men and others have been seriously bothered by a large and general circulation of spurious silver money. Maj. ('arter and Iiis officers seldom leave anything of this kind until they secure the offender and accordingly evidence was secured which made it almost certain that Andy Kimerlan was the criminal. This was the fellow who was brought in by Deputy Marshal Jones. Kimerlan has for several months lived in a wild and unfrequented spot three miles south of Doolittle's mills, ne:tr Equity, the latter place being sixty-eight miles from New Albany. Jones made good time to Equity after he had received the warrant for Kimerlan's arrest and late in the evening drove out to Kimerlan's place in search of his man. The otlicer became lost in the deep woods and wandered about until he came to a road which was smooth enough to admit of travel. He finally stopped at a house and was directed to the residence of the man who had been swindled with some of Kimerlan's counterfeit money and who gave the Information which led to the desperado's arrest. Taking this man in the buggy Jones was guided to the one hundred acre field some distance over in the country in the middle of which stood Kimerlan's cabin' Jones and his companion then left the büggy in the road and the two picked their way through a gulch, it being as dark as Erebus, and finally found themselves close up to the walls of the Kimerlan shack. At Jones' request his companion sent forth a loud-voiced summons for Kimerlan to come to the door. "What in h 1 do you want at this time of night?" came the surly response. "Why, my wife is very sick," answered the man. "and I want you to go for the doctor." "Well, just wait till I get on my clothes," said Andy, "and I will be with you. Instead of this, however, Kimerlan, seemingly mistrusting that something was wrong, came to the tloor, which In; held slightly ajar, and thrust out his head. Quick as a flash Deputy Jones put his shoulder against the door and shoved it wide open. Before Kimerlan could recover from his astonishment the officer's grasp was on his throat, and the man was hurled through the open door Into the yard. Jones sprang out into the darkness and was on Kimerlan before the burly rufiian could fairly gain his feet. Then a fierce struggle followed, which only ended after the officer had knocked Kimerlan down, and with the assistance of the? "companion." who had until then taken no active part in the fight, placed th3 handcuffs on Kimerlan's wrists. A search was then made through the house, but it was found that Kimerlan had neither candle nor lamp in the cabin. Jones accordingly sat down, placed his prisoner in front of him, and covered the counterfeiter with his revolver, and maintained that situation until the farmer had gone back more than a mile to his house and procured a lantern. With the help of this light a complete search of the house was made und considerable spurious coin found. The -officer brought his prisoner to Equity without further delay and took the first train to Indianapolis, having made the trip In . considerably less thnn forty-eight hours. It was an excellent piece of work, and reflects not a small degree of credit, on Deputy Jones. Kimerlan will have his preliminary hearing this morning before Commissioner Van Buren. .. my, Oh, Why" .

(From the New York Tribune.) For some time there has been an increasing number of stories published in the newspapers of New York City, telling of marvelous cures of various diseases that have been made by different medicines and treatments. It has long been the Intention of the Tribune to investigate one of the most interesting cases that could be found and give the truth to the world as a matter of news. Happening on the case of Geo. L'Hommedieu. the other day, an investigation was made with the following very happy result: When the reporter called on Mr. L-'Hommedieu at the residence of his cousin. Mr. Edward Houghtaling. 271 W. 134th St., he said: "I am HI years of age and was born-in Hudson. N. Y. I served my time in the army, being corporal of Company A. 21st N. J. Volunteers. It has been about fifteen years since I noticed the first symptoms of my disease. I consulted Dr. Allen of Yorkville, and also Dr. Pratt, since deceased Dr. Pratt exhausted his powers in my behalf and finally told me that he could do nothing more for me. "Finally I was advised by Dr. Gill to go to the well-known scientist. Dr. Hamilton. He gave me a most thorouph examination and did me no good. I felt I was growing weaker every day, and went to the Manhattan Hospital, at 41st St. and Park Ave., and was under treatment by Dr. Seguin. He treated me for about three months, and then told me that I had locomotor ataxia and was beyond the aid of medical science. I was now a complete physical wreck; all power, feeding and color had left my legs, and it was impossible for me to feel the most severe pinch or even the thrust of a needle. "If my skin was scratched there would be no Row of blood whatever, and it would take it fully six weeks to heal up. In the night I would have to feel around to find my legs. My pains were excruciating and at times almost unbearable. I would take large doses of morphine to deaden the pains. About five years ago Dr. Lewis A. Sayre of 2S5 5th Ave., made a trial of the French method of stretching the spine. Although I received no benefit from this treatment I shall always feel grateful to Dr. Sayre for his great interest and kindness. "So severe had my case become by this time that I could not walk without assistance, and was almost ready to give up life. "I began the use of Pink Pills .for Pale People in September last. I took them rather irregularly at first with the cold water treatment. In a very short time I was convinced that I was getting better and I began the use of the pills in earnest, taking about one box every five days. "The first siern of Improvement was in November, 1V.2, when 1 had a rush of blood to the head and feet causing a stinging and prickling sensation. February, 22J, isy:t, was the first time in five years I had ever seen any sign of blood in my feet. From this time on I began to improve. SMy strength r.ud appetite have gradually returned; I now have perfect control of my bowels, and the pains have gradually left me. I can sit and write by the hour nd walk up stairs by balancing myself with my hands. Without doubt I am a new man from the ground up, and I have every reason to believe that I will be hale and hearty in lesH than six months. I have taken about twelve boxes of pills."

Smith, a member of the firm of Marchal & Smith, who said: "I have known Mr. George L'Hommedieu for twenty years. He became connected with our firm as secretary in 1S79, and attended strictly to his office duties until 1Sn"1. when he was stricken down with his trouble. As the disease advanced he was obliged to succumb and reluctantly gave up his office work. I know that he tried various physicians and their treatment without the lest Buccess, and. as he states, he was finally discharged from the Manhattan hospital and told that he was in the last stages of locomotor ataxia and was beyond the hope of human aid. About six months ago, or so, he was advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale reople.'wlth the cold water treatment. The last time I saw Mr. L'Hommedieu he had gained the use of his limbs to such an extent that he could walk up stairs with the help of Ids wife, and is now doing much important woi-K fr us at his home.

Eyster, were started for their probable death-watch In the prison north in the custody of Sheriff Emmett and Deputy Sheriff Joe Bauer. Tickets over the Monon had been procured early in the forenoon and the arrangements had been made o as to prevent any unnecessary delay at the depot. About 10:30 o'clock Parker's father went to jail to see his son. He advised him to go quietly, say little to anyone and conduct himself properly in prison. He told the boy that efforts would be made to secure a new trial . through the supreme court and in the event that this failed an effort would be made to secure clemency from Uovernor Matthews. None of McAfee's relatives came to see Urn and he was downcast during the entire day. To several of the deputies and others with whom he talked he said that he believed his family had gone back on him. Just before leaving the Jail the convicted felons were securely shackled, leg to leg, and also were bound together with wristlets of iron. They were placed In a carriage and with the officers wer 3 driven rapidly to the Massachufletts-ave. station. They had not long to wait until the arrival of the train, and as there were but few persons at the station attracted but little attention. Yesterday morning Parker was visited at the Jail by a dusky female friend, who, when the gate was opened, fell upon the murderer's neck and sobbed until her heart seemed to be breaking. The iurnkey finally lead her to the door and wafted her gently out of the county prison.

The testimony of Mrs. L,ulu Kline, widow of the late William Kline, was jdven the press for publication Tuesday. It covers several phkcb of type-writlcr matter and is a review of the case, as far as she knows, from beginning to end. The testimony Is exactlv the same as her story of the affair, which has been already published. She sitys that the only time she and her husband ever had any trouble of any consequence was about three years afio. when she became angered at him tor strikins one of the children and slapped him, and he struck her on the side. They were both ashamed of their acts, however, and admitted shortly after that they had been hasty and that such acts would never occur again. She said they had quarreled at times on account of his whipping the children. Aside from these quarrels they lived happily. The testimony of her eUht-vear-old daughter, Kelle, was also taken. She n taken into the coroner's privat' oihee, where he expained to her the nature of an oath and told her what would happen to her If she told anything but the truth. In her childish way she told him whaf she knew about' the case. She said that on the morning the assault was committed und shortly after ehe and her little brother Started out to pick Mowers she noticed a 1 irge colored man golnr in the direction of the house. She was then asked If her mother had told h. r to make such a statement and she replied that her mother had told her to tell, nothing but the This is the only portion of her story that uttracted any attention from the coroner and the only new feature brought out. There Is absolutely nothing new In the case and Coroner Heck fated that unless the murderer confes.-d to the crime he did not think' the tfullty person would ever be discovered. He will renin a verdict in a few days, and unless some thing new is developed. It will be "murdered by parties unknown." He l in--cllned to the belief, however, that the purpose of the assault was robbery. TIKKISII IMIIU.MTY. A You li KT Lady Hloiiar y Ilrutally AttucLed.
