Concluded, from citizens. He was born in Fayette county. Kentucky, Feb. -15. 1S23, and was eduoated at Yale college and after a few years located in Chicago where, in 1879, he was elected mayor, an office he held for eight years. In '87 he was defeated and concluded to take a trip around the world. On his return he published a book entitled "A Race With the Sun." an account of his journey. In 1891 he purchased the Chicago Times, which had declined since the death of its former editor, Wilbur F. Storey, in 1S84. Mr. Harrison has restored the paper to its former prosperity. His gTeat-great-grandfather was father of Renlamin. who was father of PreslJ . ITIli: T T . TT,-. ..lrt ITla ' grandfather was first cousin of Thomas Jefferson, and he himself was cousin of John Brecker ridge and Benjamin Harrison. By the death of his father ho was left when eight years old to the care of hla mother, who was a daughter of Col. Itussell of the United States army and a northwestern pioneer. Dr. Lewis Marshall, brother of chief Justice and father of Tom Marshall, prepared him for Yale, where he graduated in 1845. After graduating at TransylvfcJiia In law and traveling two years abroad, he came to Chicago in 1855. invested in real estate and became wealthy. He was commissioner of Cook county from 1S71 to 1874, when he went to congress, ferving two terms. He attracted attention during the Hayes-Tilden contest and introduced a resolution for six year presidential terms, and making expresidents eligible for one term only, but senators for life. He was elected mayor of Chicago in 1879, 1S81. 18S3 and 1RS5 and 1S93. In 1S84 he was the democratic candidate against Ogiesby for governor of Illinois and the same year a delegate-at-large to the national convention that nominated Cleveland. In 18IH) he visited Alaska axil the riational parks and his book on "A Summer's Outing" also added to his literary fame. He edited the Times till elected mayor last April, and which his pons. William Preston Harrison and Carter H. Harrison. Jr., now own. He was married in 18".5 to Sophia Preston. She died in Europe in 1875. In 1882 he married Marguerite E. Sterns, who died In 1SS7, and he was to have been married a few days hence to Miss Anna Howard of New Orleans. He was at the time of his death a candidate for United States senator. Purin? tb pat Fix months he had received official and delegates visiting the world's fair and different congressesand conventions from all parts of the country and the world and his welcome address constitute a volume of happy thoughts and suggestions. His la?t address of welcome was made today to visiting mayors and municipal officers. Comment Iy Hie Time. The Times, which was the property of Mr. Harrison, will say tomorrow: "In the closing hours of the Columbian festival, wherein its towering success was being celebrated, a heavy blow has fallen upon Chicago. The chief magistrate of the city is no more. He is dead by the hands of an assassin, one, let us trust, for the sake of humanity, who was bereft of reason, for who. having sound mind, would deliver the deathstroke upon a man whose heart was full of the milk of human kindness and could not harbor rancor or resentment? "The stroke, sudden and horrible, was delivered by an ignoble hand. An eagle towering in his pride of pla? w by a mousing owl hawked at and killed. The pity of it rouses-sympathy as well as indignation. Law will deal with the assassin, but no compensation can be offered to the affection' of the hearthstone blighted by the crime. "Mr. Harrison had the essentials of a good executive, clear judgment, prompt action, full knowledge of affairs and skill in the choice of responsible assistants. Not unmindful of the claim of party upon him he preferred to make the city hall a business administration and there was pardonable pride for there was truth in theclaim which he delighted jocosely to rlpeat. that he was the best ma vor Chicago ever had. "Hut this is over. No sound shall awaken Harrison to glory again. The plaudits of the Chlcagoan3 that fell upon a grateful ear Harrison loved applause as every honest man who courts fame must will turn to lamentation in the midst cf a now general verdict that he was indeed pre-eminent among Chicago's magistrates. He yearned for the good opinion of his fellow men and their tributes will lie thick as autumnal leaves bpon his bier. A LIT' IX SORROW. Over he Fonl Murder of Her Chief Kifontlrr. CHICAGO, Oct. 2D. Chicago today is overwhelmed with sorrow and shame. Her citizens mourn for the man who fti'0'1 closer to the people's heart than any other who has lived or died within her boundary lines or has been in any way conn-cte-l with the city's growth and progress. The feeling of shame is that Just at the close of the greatest and most glorious period of her municipal history. Just at the dawn of a brighter period than she has ever before experienced, the dark crime of murder should have a red blot on the record. It was a thing no man could prevent, a calamity that no human intellect could foresee, but the crime is done and the stain and the disgrace of having her chief executive phot down is part of history now. The act of a maniac, or, at tho best, a weak-minded youth, has plunged Chlcapo Into grif and mourning Just at the period of her greatest triumph. From all ranks and conditions of men there com en but one voice, and that Is of grief. If Chicago's spirit soared too high, if her ambitious soul reached out beyond those things to which mortal man may aspire and her daring hand was ever at the edge of the universe It has been temporarily checked. The blow was heavy, and It struck Chicago to the heart. Carter Henry Harrison was without question the most popular man among the residents of Chicago. He was the most widely known and best beloved of all Chicago's sons. Political enemies have time and again sought to read the, riddle of his popularity; they have sought to decry his fame and wean his friends from his side. They utterly failed in all. There is a touch of nature beyond what humanity knows and it is called genius. This Carter Harrison had In his dealings with hi fellow-men. He drew them to him and he held them to the last by the force of his genial nature and the undiscovered something which all men felt who came In contact with him. . His enemies were as bitter as his friends were warm, but they were the foes of hU rmthod.t, not the foes of hl.4 personality. He had within his frame more of the condensed spirit of audacity, endurance and activity that Is characteristic of Chicago than any other man. Jfe was nearer the emlodlment of the Chicago spirit than any other man. The people knew this and held him ! ..-er In their embrace than they have - r held another, and It will be long 1 ( re Another man usurps the place th.t Orter Harrison held In the heart of Chicago. The feeling of personal sor row which all citizens feel is not strong- j er than the mortified civic pride, which ; burdens them down. Her man of men, , the one whom she honored moat, was j foully slain, and the great city which j

Srrond Page, has done so much and which for six months has been the most prominent place on earth was utterly helpless. There may be for Chicago days of greater pride, of higher glory than any she has yet beheld. There can never be a day of deeper grief, of more poignant sorrow. TUR MIRDERKR IV TRISOV. How the Guilty Crunk Spent the Day Talks Some. Prendergast, the murderer if Mayor Harrison, is now locked in a etil in the county jail. He was carried around the city all day by the iolice, and bars did not close behind him until 3 o'clock this afternoon. Early this morning he was carried fioi.i the Central sta-tion to Kast Chicago-ave. sta.tion, where he was locked for an hour or two. At 10 o'clock he was driven to the Harrison residence on Ashland boulevard, and remained there during the inquest. Then he was taken back to the Central station and finally lodged in the county jail, where he will remain until his case Is finally disposed of. Throughout the day he maintained the same stolid demeanor which characterized him all through, except on the occasion of his surrender to Sergt. McDonald at Desplalnes-st. station. He still sticks to the story that he killed the mayor for no other reason than that he was not made corporation counsel and Insists that he had an entire right to act as he did. He is undoubtedly sincere in both his story and his opinion regarding his crime. When taken to the Jail this afternoon Prendergast seemed absolutely indifferent to his surroundings and situation. A very complete search was made of his clothing at the jail, but nothing was found excepting SI In money. While the formality of delivering the prisoner to the Jail authorities was in progress, Prendergast occupied himself in lacing up his shoes, which had been removed for the purpose of searching him. He was then conducted to cell 11. It was occupied at the time by Jung Jack Lee, the Chinaman who is urder life sentence for the murder of his cousin, and another Chinaman named Tom Iong awaiting trial for larceny. The Chinamen were transferred and Prendergast locked up. Cell No. 11 is an historic cell, being the one which contained Lingg, the anarchist, when he committed suicide. Dr. Scudder was also an occupant of the safne cell when he caused his own death by taking morphine. I'rentlerKitMt Talk. While the cell was being examined Prendergast sat down on a bench in the cage. He brightened up and entered into a conversation with Clerk Price. He did not seem inclined to talk about his crime, but asked to see the papers. Parts of the Sunday papers were handed him, but none of them contained the local news sheets. Prendergast. quickly noticed this and asked for the account of the murder. This was handed to him and he read down the columns In an apparently mechanical manner. Then he dropped the papers and said: "I did my duty," repeating this sentence several times. He then relapsed Into tdlence and would say nothing more. After entering the cell he threw himself on the bed, clasping his hands behind his head. Clerk Price then sent to the jail kitchen and ordered dinner for Prendergast, as he had expressed himself to be hungry'- The regular Jail dinner was brought to him, consisting of soup, roast beef and vegetables. Prendergast ate everything that was given him. and then lit a cigar, and was inclined to talk. "I am very tired," he said, "having been bothered o much by so many people today. I feel greatly relieved as a gieat strain is off my mind. I have done my duty and I think the majority of the people will be on my side. I shall get clear. I do not mind the physical confinement at all, and my mind Is now clear." "What was your reason for killing the mayor?" was asked. Prendergast replied emphatically: "I was to have had the position of corporation counsel, but he played false to me and I only did right in killing him. I did not know that I had fired three shots at him until I read it in the papers. I was of the opinion that I fired two shots at the mayor. I fired another shot as I went away to prevent anyone from following me, as I expected a crowd to follow me." "Did Mr. Harrison say anything to you when you met him In the house?" Prendergast replied: "No; I drew my revolver and fired. After the first shot Mr. Harrison shouted. 'Murder!' but I did not hear hirs fay anything else. I ran away pretty quickly and caught a street car." Here Prendergast claimed he was tired and refused to talk any more. Clerk Price and Jailor Gould were sure they had seen Prendergast before, Price being positive that he had been an inmate of the Jail on a previous occasion, but neither could remember when he had been In the jail before. ItecofcnlKed mm n. Crank. "I knew Eugene Patrick Prendergast very well," said Brother Baldwin of St. Patrick's academy this morning. "When I read the awful story In the papers this morning I recognized in Prendergast one of our former pupils. I was not surprised that he committed so Infamous a crime. "For some years I have believed him to be a crank, and for two years we have not allowed him to visit the academy. Like many of our old pupils, he had been In the habit of calling occasionally at the academy. From the first visit he made we saw that there was a screw loose In his head. He would Insist upon extolling Henry Oeorge and elaborating the single tax philosophy In the tangled form In which It existed In his brain. Often In the midst of a sentence he would seem to forget his subject and fly off to some other issue or scheme of a visionary character. He became a nuisance, and, as he never sought advice but Insisted upon giving It, I told him several times that he must not come about the academy and annoy me with his fancies. He persisted in making his visits more frequent and trrew more boisterous and violent In his harangues, until I gave orders to the porter not to admit him." "Do you think him Insane?" "I am entirely ignorant of hi career during the past two years. It might be iwissible that his cranky notions have led him up to imvnlty. As I know him, he was simply a crank and an Interminable bore." "What were his haracterlstl.-s at sdH-d?" "He was but an ordinary boy. He came here at the age of fourteen or fifteen years and was 'with ns two years. He was not bright, but a plodder." The Funeral Wrilnmdn. The arrangements for the funeral of the murdered mayor will not be made until after the special riveting of the city council, which will b3 held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. It has, howe(r, been decided that the obsequies will take place Wednesday. The body will be placed In a vault at Oraccland cemetery and the interment, which will be private, will occur later. Mayor Harrison' body

will He In state for at least a day In the city hall. The council will probably ask that the body be taken to the city hall tomorrow afternoon where it will remain until the funeral, which will probably take place there. It has been decided that the active pall-bearers will be eight police captains, who will be selected by Chief of Police Brennan. The honorary pall-bearers have been chosen by the mayor's family, will be the following: Thomas W. Palmer. H. N. Hlgginbotham, Gen. Nelson A. Miles. ex-Governor Richard Ogiesby, Judge Lyman Trumbull, F. A. Winston, Gen. Fitzslnvnons, H. J. Jones. C. K. G. Billings. Adolph Kraus. P. D. Armour, Frank Wenter, ex-Mayor John A. Roach, ex-Mayor Joseph Medill, ex-Mayor Hempstead Washburn, Judge Francis Adams' and R. A. Waller. Will Act ns Mayor. Oscar D. Wetherel, city comptroller of Chicago, who by the death of Mayor Harrison becomes acting mayor, is a republican. He is a native of New Hampshire, but removed to Chicago many years ago and became a prominent lumber man. Something like twelve years ago he was elected to the city council of Chicago and served for at least two terms as chairman of the finance committee. Three years ago he was elected president of the Globe national bank and last spring, on Mayor Harrison's election, Mr. Wetherel was appointed comptroller. He Is about sixty years of age.

TUB IXQIKST. Verdict in Accordance ttKu the Facts Previously Stated. S The Inquest on the body of Mayor Harrison was held today at his late residence on Ashland boulevard. Except a technical description of the wounds but little new was elicited. The verdict was in accordance with the facts and recom-, mended that Prendergast be held for the murder until discharged by due process of law. Mary Hanson, the domestic, and Coachman Risberg held to the stories previously told and identified Prendergast as the mayor's assailant. When the prisoner encountered them at the inquest he made no attempt to deny the Identification and In the instance of Mary Hansen assented to it verbally. He maintained a stolid indifference during the hearing. Once, however, he betrayed a little feeling over Ms crime. He was sitting near Lieut. Haas and his attention was attracted by the presence of Mrs. W. J. Chalmers. For a moment his stolidity was broken and he pulled the lieutenant's sleeve. The officer bent toward his prisoner and heard him ask: "Is that Mrs. Harrison?" "No," replied the lieutenant, "It Is not." "Why did you ask?" "I wanted to tell her," replied Prendergast. "that I was sorry for her trouble." With that remark he relapsed into silence and returned to all questions a vacant stare. William Preston Hanison, the mayor's son, related what he knew of the crime and was questioned but little and quickly retired from the room. He said: "I heard shots fired, but was in an upper room and did not see anyone shooting. I hurried clown to my father and spoke to him and asked him what the matter was. He said he was shot and dying. " 'Get Annie over at once.' was his only reply. He died in about twenty minutes after I had found him." John Wheeler, a police oflicor, who was in charge of Prendergast at one time during the night, testified that the murderer had confessed the crime to him, saying that he did it because the mayor had not made him corporation counsel. Other witnesses examined were officers at Desplalnes-st. station. F. A. McDonnell, patrol pergeant. identified the revolver he had taken from Prendergast. p. Z. Barber, desk sergeant at Desplalnes-st. station, saw Prendergast surrender to McDonnell and heard him say that he had shot Carter Harrison because the mayor, he said, had broken faith with him in failing to apiint him corporation counsel. Prendergast had told him he lived at ROD Perry-st. According to the post mortem examination, the results of which were smitted to the jury, live bullet wounds made by four bullets were found in the mayor's body. Three balls remained in the body. One lodged In the muscles of the back. Another passed through the liver and was found in the bowels. The third struck near the shoulder and, ranging downward, lodged under the skin. A detailed report of the examination made by Dr. I. J. Mitchell and concurred in by R. Ludwig Hektoen red as follows,: "I have; made a post mortem examination of the body of Carter 11. Harrison. The body was that of a man Jive feet nine inches in hight and weighed about 225 pound i. I found live round openings on the body, such as are usually made by bullets. No. 1 struck the left hand, breaking the bone of the little finger, and come out in the palm, forming wound No. 2. Wound No. 3 was In the middle line about five inches above the navel, passed onre throiiRh the bowels and lodged In the muscles of the back. Here a leaden bullet was found. No. 4 wound was three- in Iks below and to the right of the right nipple, passed through the tenth rib and illwr, and a :.-aden bullet was found in the bowels. No. ." wound was Just below front of the right should T. passed down under the Fkin about four inches. Here a third leaden bullet was found. There was a considerable quantity of blood In the right chest and in the abdomen. I conclude that Carter II. Harrison came to his death from shock and hemorrhages following the above bullet wounds. "L. P. MITCHELL. M. D. "LUDWIG HEKTOEN, M. D., concurring." The Jury's Verdict. The Jury returned this verdict: "An Inquest taken for the people of the state of Illinois at 231 Ashland-ave. In the city of Chicago on the 2!)th day of Oct., A. D., 1893, before lue, James MeHale, coroner In and for the said county, upon view of the body of Carter H.

Itrollier of the Afllnitced Jlrde Fu Honte to Chicago. NEW ORLEANH. Oct. 29. Frank and i Harry Howard, the brothers of Miss An1 nil Howard, the nfjl.uiced bride of Mayer ! Harrison, both left the city this morclng. ! The program was decided upon soon after . thty nude their hasty exit from the

i French opera house, where they were j attending the performance when the news i was received here which made them fear

for the effect upon their beloved relative, who was on a visit to the wife of Carter Harrison, jr., at Chicago. Harry has a lovely residence up town on St. Charles-ave., where he was comparatively free from intrusion, but Frank resides in regal style in the brown stone mansion, which was his father's home, adjoining the city hall In the very heart of the city. Many came with the kindest motives to make inquiries and offer consolation, but as midnight was approached and there was no cessation to the visitors. Mr. Howard, in order to secure a few hours' rest, was compelled to place a watchman at the door to prevent his being further disturbed. This morning Frank Howard took the train for Chicago to join his sister and bring her South as soon as possible, as the effect of the shock upon her not too robust health is greatly feared. Harry Howard took an early train for Biloxi, where his mother has been spending the summer. Charles T. Howard, the founder of the Howard fortune, took a fancy to Hi los. 1 and his Influence aided in making it one of the most prosperous and popular of the laJce resorts. The old Howard house, where Mrs. Charles T. Howard and Frank and his family lived for several months of each y-ar. Is one of the finest places on the coast with a substantial house, magnificent grounds, lawns, garden, orchard, an observation toward which could well serve at a lighthouse, with a fleet of boats and every other comfort and convenience imaginable. Alongside of the grounds is the pretty little church of which the Howards are the principal patrons, and It is on account of the great interest the family has always taken In the episcopal edifice that it was decided the nuptials be celebrated there. A few hundred feet away, with half a dozen small residences between, is the mansion which Harry Howard and his family occupy. The situation of the Howard homes and the church would have permitted a magnificent scheme of decoration and ornamentation which would have been taken full advantage of. The arrangements had been made for a wedding which would have been in keeping with the' standing of those concerned and the gifts would have been kingly in worth. The soriety of the city was making preparations for' the event and it was the Intention to run a special train for the invited guests from New Orleans to Biloxi, leaving here at 4:30 in the afternoon, making the run in about two hours and giving ample time to attend the wedding ceremony at 7 o'clock. The bridal couple were to have left Biloxi soon after the wedding, going direct to Chicago. Mrs. Howard was in Biloxi, although the rest of the family had already removed to New Orleans for the winter, personally supervising the ar rangements for the welding of f Uie nst fit H.lvdaughter who Had been her coin companion from the time of Mr. ard's death. Her heart was in each little detail, and under her loving concern the preparation had grown into completeness. The breaking of the sad news was an extremely delicate task, and Harry Howard hastened to the house before the morning papers could arrive with the full story of the tragedy. The task was accomplished and the benevolent lady found relief in tears. Her anxiety was naturally for her daughter, and it was" with difficulty that she could be restrained from hastening to Chicago. She only consented to remain upon the assurance that Frank had already started for the scene and would soon return with' Miss Annie to resign her to the motherly arms, the touch of which would be the truest consolation and gentlest supiwirt in the hour of trouble and bereavement. TiiK im:ss o thi: tragedy. Comment ly Ynrlnns Papers Thronglint the Country. The Chicago papers will tomorrow print editorials on the tragedy. They will In part say as follows: Record "Mayor of Chicago for four consecutive terms and elected for a fifth time to that oflice at the close of four years of private life, Carter Harrison, when he died, was the most widely known Chicagoan. Stephen A. Douglass and John A. Iogan had a far higher fame, but not as Chlcagoans. John Wentworth was personally known to a larger proportion of the citizens of Chicago thirty years ago, but his fame was linked to that of the sprawling western town of that day. Carter Harrison stood as the.representatlve ciUzen of the second city of the continent, the builder of the greatest of world's expositions. He made a business of politics and knew his business. The moral side of his administration was always disappointing to the best public sentiment. Yet. in times of disorder, as during the recent riotous lake front demonstrations, he was fearlessly on the side of order. Carter Harrison, as mayor of the city during eight momentous years and during the exposition period. 'has no small part in the history of 'Chicago, which now sincerely mourns for hinW' Inter Ocean '11 Chicago now mourns the terrible taking off of its mayor as all the United States then mourned the assassination of its president. At such a time as this, Vind In the presence of a crime so appalling, political differences are forgotten and universal impulse is to see only the common loss and grief. Mr. Harrison's death under ordinary circutnFtances, even, would occasion profound and widespread sorrow, but falling, as lie did, at the hands of an assassin, the tragedy has stirred the heart of our whole people with deep and poignant sorrow. Personally he was very popular, however high the waves of party might dash." SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 29. The Chronicle this morning says editorially: "The assassination of Mayor Harrison of Chicago is a crime that will appal law-abiding Americans. The man who committed the act must be classed among irresponsible cranks. The most dangerous cletrent today in this country is composed of crack-brained men, who are cunning, enough to know that they can generally evade penalty of any crime by the specious pica of Insanity. The shoot liifr down of the mayor of Chicago in this Columbian year, before the world's fair has income a thing of the past, cannot fall to make a profound Impression on the American people. The a.ssasslnatlon of cruel Siberian officials can be understfxnl. It is natural that those who have suffered Intolerable wrongs should seek revenge. But here is a man who went out of his way to help the or and oppressed; who gave every caller an audience; who even drew upon himself the charge of being an anarchist because of his warm symr .thy with those who bore heavy burdens. Yet he Is shot down as though he were a willing Instrument of some cruel despot. Such an act calls for nummary punishment upon the offender, with none of the sentimental coddling of criminals which stirs the gorge of decent people. Mayor Harrison will not have died in vain If the hoi-ror over bis assassination shall result In the swift and severe enforcement of our criminal laws. It Is high time that the cranks were taught they must respect the sanctity of human life, as well us the laws against which they rail." The Chicago Freie Presse says: "Like a stunning peal of thunder, right amidst the Joy oyer the splendid success and termination of the world's fair, came to the people of Chicago the news of the assassination of Mayor Harrison. All minds who were triumphant and full of Joy are now filled with horror, terror and grief. The public opinion differed as to which of his many qualities and peculiarities Carter Harrison hail to thank for his popularity. That he possessed it there was never any doubt." SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29. The Examiner tomorrow will say: "That the annals of the great American T'lr should be hideously blotted with the blood of Chicago's mayor adds to the horror and pain this fearful c linic excites. The bullets of the fiendish fool have transformed the closing of the exHdtlon from a historical holiday Into an occasion of mourning and wrath. In Its personal, ns well as its public, aspects the death of Carter Harrison Is Immeasurably deplorable."

Oct. 30. There was very little improvement in local market conditions today. Winter goods moved with more activity than last week during the warmer weather. Groceries were steady and trade was about average. Poultry maintained its activity, but there was no change in prices. Fruits and vegetables fell off slightly, though the demand for a really good article is still Nrge. The general market peema to indicate increased activity, but merchants are not congratulating themselves on the Increase in business yet The lower rates of Interest In money centers and the increased supply of money flowing into banks seems to Indicate a revival at hand.
