DEATH OF EDWIN BOOTH.

The Famous Tragedian Breathes His Last in New York City—Sketch of His Remarkable Career. NEW YORK, June 7.—Edwin Booth, the tragedian, died at the Players' club at 1:15 a. m. The end was peaceful in the extreme. The wonderful vitality which so long had sustained the flame of light gave way and the light had flickered out almost imperceptibly. The end had come almost before those that were watching knew it. It was just 1:17 o’clock this morning when Dr. St. Clair Smith appeared at

the center window of the suite and waved his handkerchief, a signal which all in the street instantly understood. Dr. Smith then hurried downstairs. He said: “There is nothing to say in description of Mr. Booth's death. It was like the passing of a shadow. His vitality had been surprising and I was astonished that death had not come before." Edwin Booth was born in Bel Air, near Baltimore, Md., and was tho son of Junius Brutus Booth the elder, an English actor, who obtained his reputation, however, mainly in the United States He was named Edwin Thomas, out of compliment to his father's friends, Edwin Forrest and Thomas Flynn, both great actors. The boy Edwin had but few opportunities for education, but he took the best possible advantage of these, with the result that he gained for himself an excellent education while still a lad. Although the elder Booth at first objected to his son’s going on the stage, he did finally consent, and the young man's first appearance in any part occurred in 1849 at the Boston museum, when he appeared as Tressel in “Richard III.” He made a success in this small part, and from that time forward no question was raised as to his continuing on the stage. His capacity, indeed, so demonstrated itself that he was presently playing Cassio in “Othello" and Wilford in “The Iron Chest,” his performance of the latter character being highly commended. During two years Edwin continued to play with his father in different cities, making his first appearance in New York, September 27, 1850, at the National theater, Chatham street, in the character of Wilford. The following year he took the most important step in his dramatic career up to that period by playing “Richard III.” at the same theater, in place of his father, who had been taken suddenly ill. This performance gave him at once the reputation of being an actor of unusual promise. At that time the elder brother of Edwin, J. B. Booth, was manager of a theater in San Francisco, Cal., and the two went thither and played with him in the popular pieces of the day. In the latter part of 1852 the elder Booth died while on his way from New Orleans to Cincinnati. Edwin was now left to rely upon his own intellectual resources, and he continued to travel through the state of California playing, amid a great deal of poverty and many hardships, whenever opportunity offered. Even at this early period of his life he had already added to his repertoire the characters ol Shylock, Macbeth, Hamlet, and his great part of Sir Edwin Mortimer in “The Iron Chest." In 1854 he played in a company with Miss Laura Keene in Australia, but returned to the United States the following year and originated in San Francisco the character of Raphael in “The Marble Heart.” He also at this time made his first appearance in Richelieu, which afterward became one of his most noted characters. By this time the name and fame of Edwin Booth had traveled to the Atlantic cities of the United States, and there was experienced everywhere, between San Francisco and New York, the greatest possible desire to witness the powerful impersonations of America's new and obviously great tragedian. Accordingly, in 1857 Mr. Booth went to Baltimore and played at the Front Street theater, playing afterward through the principal southern cities with the greatest success. In April of that year he played in Boston Sir Giles Overreach in “A New Way to Pay Old Debts,” and created a furor. In the following month he appeared at Burton’s Metropolitan theater, New York, where he aroused the greatest enthusiasm, and within another year he had achieved, by sheer power, intelligence and art, the highest position on the American stage—a position which he never after lost, so long as he regularly followed his profession. During his professional career Mr. Booth appeared a number of times in London, where he played with Henry Irving, and also in Germany, where he was highly praised by Emperor William I. For a number of years Mr. Booth made starring excursions throughout the United States, in partnership with the late Lawrence Barrett, until the latter’s death, early in 1891. Since that time Mr. Booth appeared infrequently, having led a retired life.

NEW TREATY WITH RUSSIA.

Defines Various Offenses for Which Either Government Shall Grant Extradition Papers. Washington, June 7.— The extradition treaty between the United States and Russia only needs the formal proclamation of President Cleveland to become operative, its ratification having been consummated by the exchange of formal notes between the two governments. Under the provisions of the instrument the extraditable offenses shall consist of murder, manslaughter, rape, abortion, arson, burglary, robbery, forgery, the making or circulating of counterfeit money or national obligations, embezzlement, piracy, mutiny, destruction or obstruction of railways in a manner to endanger human life. It is expressly stipulated, however, that “an attempt against the life of the head of either government, or against that of any member of his family, when such attempt comprises the act either of murder, of assassination or of poisoning, or of the accessory ship thereto, shall not be considered a political of■fense or an act connected with such an offeqse.”

THE DEATH PENALTY.

Execution of a Murderer in the Northern New York State Prison. Dannemara, N. Y., June 7. Safrione Martello was electrocuted at 11:51 a. m. It required but two contacts, when the man was pronounced dead. [The murder for which Martello paid the penalty was committed on the morning of May 5. 1892, in Saratoga, when he cut the throat of another Italian named Giovanni Pafrelo and stabbed him in six other places. Jeal ous rage was the cause of the murder; Anna Guy, who .lived with Martello as his mistress, being found entertaining Parrelo. There were several witnesses of tfie fatal tight between the t*o men, and Martello was arrested and his conviction soon followed. Martello was a railroad trackman, 28 years old. 1

STOOD A SEVERE TEST.

Chicago Bank* Remain Fins Throughout Heavy Kun»-Belief That the Worst Is Over. Chicago, June 7.— The runs at the various savings banks started in Tuesday morning about where they left off Monday. Before the day was over, however, there was a decided progress toward returning confidence. The crowds of depositors about the savings bank windows grew smaller and at some places disappeared altogether. Probably 2,000 people drew their money out of the savings banks Monday, the amount approximating $750,000, the Illinois trust alone letting go about $500,000. On every SI,OOO drawn down the bank saves sl7 in interest which, in the ordinary course of business, would be credited to the deposits at the end of the half year, June 30. The strictly savings deposits in the several savings banks of the city will approximate $18,000,000, on which interest to the amount of about $300,000 would mature June 80 if the money were left undisturbed until then. By withdrawing the cash before the end of J une the interest is forfeited and a very considerable percentage of the 55,000 small depositors seem bent upon depriving themselves of this suug dividend. The Grant Locomotive works made an assignment in the county court Tuesday afternoon in favor of A. K. Ackerman and J. H. Wilson. The concern was one of the largest manufacturing enterprises in the west, and its failure was not in the least anticipated. Its creditors are confined to the usual trade people, and the amount of indebtedness to any one particular company is not large. The liabilities of the company in total are $410,950.86, $200,000 of which is a mortgxge in favor of the trustees, and this has precedence over the remainder of the claims. The assets are announced to. be $1,151,464. Attorney Lyman, who represents the assignees, said in regard to the failure: “The cause for the failure may undoubtedly be attributed to the strike which has been in progress at the works for nearly four months past. At the present time there are twenty-five locomotives in the shop waiting to be completed which can be readily turned into cash as soon as they are finished. These represent in money about $300,000.”

RECIPROCAL RELATIONS.

A Convention at St. Paul Demands Freer Trade Between tlie United States and Canada. j St. Paul, Minn., June 7.— The followi ing were chosen permanent officers of ' the international reciprocity convenI tion on Tuesday: I James Fisher, M. P. P., of Winnipeg, chairman; P. H. Kelly, of St. Paul, vice chairman: ; Dr. J. Maginnis, of Grand Forks, secretary; and J. H. Beek, of St. Paul; S. A. Thompson, of Duluth, and C. N.' Bell, of Winnipeg, assoi elate secretaries. During the morning session William | M. Springer, of Illinois, chairman of the ways and means committee of the j national house of representatives, was | introduced and expressed himself in i favor of reciprocity with all the states | on the American continent. Mr. SpringI er was also the principal speaker at a i mass-meeting held Tuesday night. ! At the afternoon session addresses I were made by President James J. Hill, of the Great Northern railroad; Dr. ; Orton, former member of the Canadian [ parliament; J. A. Hayne, of Minneapolis; Mr. Hall, of Brandon Man., and S. A. Thompson, of Duluth. The resolutions, read by E. V. Smalley, chairman of the committee, were adopted unanimously. They are practically as follows: “In the opinion of this convention the policy unanimously approved by the first international reciprocity convention at Grand Forks, and now reaffirmed, of removing the tariff and restrictions upon our international trade so far as can be done consistently with a due regard to the revenue requirements and other interests of the two nations, may be most advantageously carried into effect by a treaty providing for the free interchange of those classes of the products, both natural and industrial, of each one that are the most generally in demand or usually find the readiest sale in the markets of the other. Such a policy in the circumstances ol the United States and Canada is capable of being applied to many classes of industrial products as well as to natural products generally. It would result in giving to Canada a market now denied it for many classes, of industrial products as well a: to natural products generality. It would result in giving to Canada a market now denied it foi much of its produce, with compensating advantages to the United States, and that without affecting a large part of their respective customs revenues. “The cheapest possible transportation is s matter of prime importance to the interest ol the whole northwest, Canadian as well as American, and we favor the improvement of existing waterways and the construction of additional channels of communication between the greal lakes and the ocean of sufficient capacity to allow a free passage of ocean vessels and which should be free of all tolls. “Any reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada should provide for the free and common use by the people ol both countries of all canals now built or hereafter to be built, to facilitate commerce between the great lakes and the ocean, and should also provide for free and open competition between the railway systems of the two countries in order to reduce the cost of transportation from the interior to the seaboard to the lowest figures consistent with the efficiency and reasonable prosperity of the roads. “In order to secure the desired results soughl to be obtained by this convention a joint committee shall be appointed by the permanent chairman of the convention, consisting of ten members, five of them to be selected from the dominion of Canada and five of them from the United States. II shall be the duty of this committee to take charge and prosecute this work after adjournment of this convention by using such means as they may deem proper to bring the matter before the Dominion parliament and the Canadian authorities and before the congress of the United States and the American authorities and before the people of the two countries.”
