Y. , May 7.-Carlylo W. Harris 1ms said farewell to parents and friends and all thai Is dear to him on earth , and ho now awaits the messenger of death. The last net In the strange drama of his life approaches , and while ho shows nervous ap prehension nnd full appreciation of Iho terrl- bio thing that is to como to him on the morrow , no signs of breaking down are visible. Ho adheres to his oft-repeated declaration of innocence , and ho has spenl the best part of his last day on earth , not In communion with spiritual advisers preparing for Iho great hereafter , but with pen , Ink nnd paper , reviewing the past and seeking to place himself right witr. the world ho leaves. After Iho mysterious agent of death em ployed by this state to execute the extreme penalty has sent the soul of the doomed bo- forohls Maker , his words will bo spread broadcast throughout the land In his last at- tmnpt lo establish his innocence in spite of the verdict of the courts and jury , ( intuits ; Jlori ) Nervous. Harris was a trifle more nervous than usual today. Warden Durston talked with him awhile. In the forenoon nnd said that ho seemed to bo less cool and less lirm in his bearing than during the lasl few days. I'lio slluotton Is having its effect upon him and the man who has allowed no sum of emo tion to escape him during the scenes of the past months , is at last showing thai ho Is human. The strain Is telling upon him. Mrs. Harris remained at her boarding house today and did not go to the prison. She took her last farewell of her boy yester day afternoon. The scene was ono of the saddest that has over been witnessed within Hie grim walls , where all Is sadness. The mother , whose efforts In her sons behalf have aroused the sympathy of a nation , whoso courage has never hailed nnd whoso belief in the innocence of her son has never faltered , broke down In anguish before his cell door and wept. She prayed with her boy thai the horrible doom might be averted and while the guards , hardened as they arc lo human suffering , turned away with moist ened eyes , the mother and son kissed and parted for the last time. I'lithur nnd Son I'lirtnd. The younger brother , Allan , Just on the verge ot manhood , also said good by. This afternoon , shortly after ( i o'clock , Charles L. Harris , tlio father , accompanied by young Allan , went to the prison. Although the rules do not permit visitors to enter on Sun day , an exception was made and the father and son met for the first time in years. Mr. and Mrs. Harris have lived apart for Homo timo. tlio sons remaining with the mother. When the final decision of the gov ernor came , Mr. Harris determined to sco his son once more before all was over. Ho arrived yesterday and went at once to the house where Mrs. Harris Is stopping. Father nnd mother met again on the eve of the death of their first born. It was a sad reunion. Mr. Harris remained with his wife and son Allan , until today , when ho saw Carlyle and talked with him less than half an hour" Then the father took the train back to Syracuse , leaving Mrs. Harris and Allan to wall hero until all Is over and they can carry away all that Is mortal of their beloved. The last farewells to relatives having been said , Carlyle devoted his time to writing a review of the chief events of his life and of what has been done by the courts , the Judges and Iho governor in his case. VlaWH of Iho Conditioned' " Itrotlicr. Allan Harris said tonight tr.at no definite arrangements had as yet been made for the interment of his brother's remains.

Allan said that the reports that have bosn circulated to Iho effecl that the con demned man would at the last moment con fess his guilt were utterly /also and un founded. "Carl is innocent , " ho said. "I know ho is , nnd I might Jusi as properly sit in the death chair myself tomorrow as my poor brother. Il will bo the most atrocious Judi i cial murder over committed. " Mrs. Harris is preparing a statement for the public , which will bo given out after that of her condemnnd son. All > Iho preparations have been made for tomorrow. The electrocution will take place at about noon. State Electrician Davis has tcsled Iho dynamo and apparatus , and everything Is In order. The apparatus Is I the same which has been used at the last two electrocutions he made. STOKV OK TUT GKIMK. Hkotch ot the Murderer and thn Dollliernto Drcd lorVlilrh lie Dies. NEW YOIIK , May 7. Public feeling has run higher over the Harris case than over any case Involving the execution of a convicted murderer In Now York slale for many years , nnd when Iho governor's decision was re ceived a siring was broken on which Ihoro had long been a tension. The light which ho , his relatives and his lawyers have made for his llfo has been carried to such extremes , only to bo mot with defeat at every point , that thousands of people who ordinarily give no attention to such matters became partisans , It look bul a liltlo time for such news UK Iho governor's decision to travel , and In half an hour It was the talk of the Btrools. "With the decision , the governor filed a memorandum reviewing the strong points of the case ns they en mo lo him. II was a matter of comment in this city among those who road the governor's memorandum thai ho had seen III to lay stress In it upon the fact that while Mary Helen Potts was dying , BUrrour.Ocd by her young school friends in f the Comstock school , she opened her eyes and said : "If anybody else but Carl had given this to mo I would think 1 was going to die , but of course , Carl would not glvo anything to mo but what was right. " ItViln C'linvlnclli . These who had no confidence in expert tes timony , which was so extensive in the Harris trial , and who wore Inclined to give Harris the benefit of the doubt bccauno of their lack of contldenco in the experts when they read 'this quotation from the governor's mem orandum , said that ho had scon with the aamo eyes that the Jurors nnd the courts had nnd had been unable to offset m his mind the several links of direct evidence npalnsi Harris for which there was uo refu tation. Asldo from the circumstantial chnractcrof the evidence presented against Harris , the largo array of witnesses nnd counsel , there was another element In this case and It was this that brought the public into divided sympathy between two mothers , ono press ing for Justice and venifcaneo for the death of a beautiful daughter and the other plead ing , battling and struggling for the llfo of her dear boy , who , she declared with all the Vjramptings of a mother's love , was innocent of this hideous crime. Mrs. Harris , the mother of the murderer , nnd Mrs. Potts , the mother of his victim , Imvo boon two of the most conspicuous chur. uctera in the case. They were friends until the mother of the girl , who knew moro of the affair between her and young Harris than did anybody else , became convinced that her daughter had been murdered. From that hour she became the quiet , but persistent avcnper , and todav Harris might boa free man with no suspicion oven upon him , had It not been for Mrs , Potti , MOM tint Cmo Wit * Worked. Mr Potts was away performing some sort of a contract in the south when Helen died , Mrs. Potts , n middle-aged , motherly-looking woman with kindly but llrni features , called the district attorney and told him of her suspicions and gave htm all her thoughts , nnd ho promised to look into It. But he could not make progress enough to satisfy the mother of the dead girl. Almost dally she called upon him and she grow Im patient under his repeated statement that ho -Investigating. . " Ho could not toll hrrall ho had learned for fear that his | effort u > find crime nnd fasten It might bo | interfered with. She kept going to him , bringing her husband with her after ho had returned from the south , and on ono of these visits Mr. Potts significantly said to Mr. Nlcoll : "I am sorry to have had to trouble you so much and take up so much of your time. Had I been hero when Helen died and had my wife told me what 1 know now there would have been no need of the law wltti CarlloV. . H m-ls , Icui asjuro you. " Bul they waited for the law , and lltmlly Mrs , Potts saw the man whom she believed had killed her daughter indicted , arrested and locked up. Then she was seen no more until the long trial began. She was a wit ness there , and she testified in a calm man- no" , telling every detail of her daughter's llfo that could have a be.irlng on the case. r < > lllIit tlut t'iMtt to Iho Kml. When the Jury retired she sat in the dis trict attorney's otllco and waited , and when she heard the verdict of guilty she walked away with her husband , without comment , and was seen no more until the proceedings for n new trial were commenced. Then she re turned to the court , not to gi vo teslimony , butte to see that the allldavlts to disprove that her daughter had been a morphine cater were all read. Sh > - was there when Harris made Ills wild Kpecch to the recorder , and she h'-.ml the judge for the second time sentence Harris to die. Again she went homo with her husband. In the last stage of the proceedings , the hearing before Commissioner Halnes , she sat In court again , almost side by stile with Mrs. Harris. Her heart was set on having it disproved that her child had boon addicted to Iho use of morphine. Mrs. Harris'heart was set the other way , for she knew tint her son's only chance of lifo depended on that , and when these hearings were ended. Mrs. Potts went away again with her hus band. As she was the avenger , Mrs. Harris was the defender , but her character was a very different one. Mrs. Harris is a woman of about , " )0 years , always dresses in black , with a crepe veil , has bright , steel gray eves and features that might bo comely were they not so set and resolulo. Conduct of the Miirdorwr'A Mother. Mho was scornful during the first trial. "Prove my boy guilty of murder , " she used to say. "You might ns well try to prove thai while was black. " She was always lalking to the reporters in the court room and attempting to nttracl Iho attention and win the sympathy of the Jurors by bestow ing some caress on her sou. Every point that was made that seemed to bo in his favor would bring a forced smllo to her face. In short , she was acllng under a Iromondous nervous strain , yet trying to play consist ently a part which she hud mapped out for herself. When the conviction came she went into a tirade and there was a terrible scene. But the conviction only meant that she would redouble her efforts. She hounded the news paper offices , asking that ono thing and an other might not bo written about her boy. This she has continued to do up to this day , and probably will continue to do long after her IKJ.V has paid the penalty of his crime. It was she who got William A. Howe to take the case through the courl of appeals , and the defeat mot with there could not oven discourage her. or if it did she gave no evi dence of it. She visited her son in the Tombs every day when she was nol oul of Iho city , and almost invariably would return to report how ho was and to ask the news papers to print something in his favor. I.elt No Stonu Unturned. Soon after the dcfcal in Iho court of ap peals she left Ihe city and then was heard from In all parts of the country , us she traveled around trying to get allldavlts to base the niolion for a now Irlal on. Il was she who got and broughl lo William F. Howe lhat great bunch of allldavlts to prove that Helen Potts was a morphine eater , many of ihem made by people whom Helen had never known , according to the bollef of these who know her best. Recorder Sniytho said thai many of Ihcso affidavits were rank perjury , but many were made by women of good character , and it has been n wonder how- Mrs. Harris over got them from them. She was a woman of strong personality , though , and in her appeals in her son's behalf , was very convincing to persons of an emotional nature. In every courl proceeding she was prcsenl , oxcopl when her son was last sentenced. Then she walled In the lawyers' olllco for the news. She wanted to bo in court but her friends feared ] that she would make a scene as her health was much broken down. Since her son went to Sing Sing she has labored just as hard in his behalf. It was she who got the most Important signatures on the igrcat petition for executive clem ency. She visited Sing Sing and was pres ent throughout the recent hearing. Broken down in health but still hopeful , she went a few days ago to her old farm homo in North- Held , Mass. , where she received the word thai her son's doom was scaled , then hasten ing back to his side again. C'liiluis Iltt Is Innocent. When Harris was first convicted , ho an nounced thai ho would never die In Iho felon's chair. Since then ho has retracted this statement , nnd frequently has i.sserted that ho would dlo as the law directed. Ho desired , ho said , to have the full responsi bility for the execution of an innocent man rest where it belongs. In spite of this asser tion , however , extreme precautions have been taken to see thai ho did not cheat thu executioner. His knowledge of chemistry made the prison officials even moro alert. No ono. not oven his mother , was allowed lo approach nearer than three feel from Iho condemned man. Loiters were examined , the paper subjected to chemical tests to ascertain whether It concealed some deadly poison , which lud been absorbed in its texluro. Tbo warden oven went sn far as to announce that when the broken hearted mother pressed her last kiss upon her boy's lips , the lips lhat would soon feel the kiss of death , the mouth would bo examined to see thai It did not contain a poison ami be thus admin istered to prevent the stigma of the death of a felon from attaching to her son's mem ory. Physicians were in constant proximity to the cell of Iho condemned , ready lo res pond at a moment's notice to snatch back from self-inflicted death , this jtoor wretch that the law had claimed us its own. Hibtory of thu Crime. And now , a brief resume of the man , his crlmo and struggle for lifo is all thai Is needed to complete the record , oxcopl his execution , which is expected tomorrow. Harris is a slim , erect , line-featured young man of 24 years. Ho was born in Glens Falls , N. Y. , in September. 1M5U , but oven Ills parents seem to bo imaole to toll the day of tlio month. Hocamoof line family , his grand father on his mother's sldo being Dr. Benjamin W. McCready , quite recently de ceased , who was ono of the most eminent physicians in the country. His early lifo was a peculiar ono. His father and mother were not congenial to each olher and separated. The boy , Car lyle , went to live with his mother In Brook lyn , and on his trial It was developed that his mother denied him th > > companionship of the boys of his ago In the neighborhood and thai his playmates wnro mostly girls. The family was poor and Carlyle began to earn some money us a book agont. Then ho took a clerkship and finally joined a second- class theatrical road company and spent Iwo years playing minor parts. It was then , when ho was only IU years old , thai ho be gan to study medicine , probably through some offer made lo him by Dr. McCready , for ho went to the college of physicians and surgeons with which Dr. McCready was closely identified , and lived with his grand father. All accounts ugroo that ho was a particularly bright student. Where llo .Met IIU Victim. It was in the summer of ISS'.l thai ho went to live at Ocean Grove , N. J. . with his mother , and his conduct there was bad. Ho kept u place where young men gambled and drank. In August of thai year , n month be fore ho was " 0 years old. ho was introduced to Mary Helen Potts. The girl was IS years old and lived at Ocean Grove with her father , mother and Httlo brother. She was u pretty girl and Harris took a fancy to her. According to the evidence on the trial ho was in the habit of taking a fiucy lo pretty girls. Ho visited her often and Ills mother and brothers became ac quainted with the Potts faintly. Carlyle Harris and Mary Helen Potts spent most of the summer in each other's company. Ho came back to Now York In the fall to resume - sumo his medical studies. The Potts family came here to 11 vo , too. The young folks continued to meet and Mrs. Potts gpoko to Harris. Ho scouted the idea that there was anything moro between him and Mary Helen Potts thin a friendship. A few days later , hotrcvcr , ho called on Helen's mother nnd asked her to consent to his en gagement to her daughter. She absolutely refused to glvo her consent until ho had fin ished his studies. That was shortly before Februarv 17 , 1S1K ) . On February 17 , Me- Cre.idy Harris , the younger brother of Car lylo. asked Mary Helen Potts to go and see Iho Stock exchange. \Vero Serrotl } " Mnrrlcd. Carlyle called for her and the three went to the city halt , where Harris nnd the girl were secretly married by Alderman Hlnk- hoff. Neither of them gave right names - for thai marriage and It was kept a secret. Within a few WCOKS Harris began to avoid his girt wlfo and she began to grieve about It. In Mav the Potts went to live nt Ocean Grovo. Miss May Schollold , a school friend of Helen's , was visiting there. The girl wlfo was In a delicate condition. Harris would not permit her to make known her marriage , saying that if It was done his grandfather would disinherit him. Ho propose J an operation to conceal her condition from the world. She would con sent only on condition thai May Scholteid should know about her marriage , so that if she should die her honor would b < > protected. Harris took Miss ScholloW for a walk and told her. That night ho performed the op eration ujwit his wife. Mary Helen Potts then went to visit Dr. Traverton , her uncle atScranton , Pa. The doctor soon discovered her condition. Harris was made to confess that he had performed not ono but two operations upon his wlfo. Ho denied the marriage though Helen confessed sill to her mother. All this lime , it developed on the trial , Harris was having an afT.ilr with a disgraceful termination with a depraved woman whom he was meeting ut Canandal- gua , N. Y. , under an assumed name. HOW till' I'lllHOIIVllH ( ilVIMI. After Miss Potts got well her mother In sisted thai Harris should marry her pub licly. Harris promised that ho would. Ho kept putting the marriage off and finally in duced the mother lo send Helen to the Coin- stock school. The mother kept insisting on the marriage and on January , IVM , Harris wrote her that all her wishes should bo com piled with. The young wlfo had been complaining of headaches. On January 'JO Harris got a pro scription of six capsules , each to contain one- sixth of a grain of morphine , and four and one-half grains ot quinine. Ho gave her four of Iho six pills , telling her to take one each night. The olher two pills ho kept. Then ho ivent to Old Point Comfort. The girl took three of the pills. She complained that they made her feel worse. She told her mother that she had a good mind to throw the fourlh one away. Her molhcr advised her lo take It , saying thai Carlyle know what was best for her. If she had not taken thai pill she probably would have been allvo today. Drciiinod of Her 'Murderer. She took It just before rcliring on the night of January t , 181)1. ) She awoke in a partial coma and said to her schoolmates lhat she had had beautiful dreams. She had dreamed that Carlyle was with her. Soon she began lo moan and was unconscious. Drs. Fowler and Bauer were called lo at tend her. She'died the following morning. G Harris was sent for. Ho scorned to care little for his wife's death , but fiopt Insisting thai Iho medicine ho had given her was all right. He was told to go to the drugstore nnd find out. Ho went out of doors. The evidence showed that ho did not go near the store , although ho returned to say ho had been thero. The apparent preparations Harris had made to clear himself of suspicion , his re fusal to permit the girl to be buried under his name and the conflicting stories he told caused suspicion to be directed toward him self. self.Ho Ho was indicted on May K , 1SSH. Ho was brought to trial in January , Ib'.l'J. He had William I'earse. John A. Taylor and Hnrlo Davison lo defend him. The defence was almost wholly to show that the girl did not die of morphine poisoning. Experts were on Iho stand for days. Afier deliberating tin hour and twenty minutes a verdict of murder in ttio lirsl degree was returned. Harris was sentenced to dlo on March : Jl , 1S'J3. To Sdcnrtt u Now Trial. Hrrrls took William F. Howe for his counsel then. The Judges of Iho court of appeals unanimously afllrmed the conviction in one of the strongest decisions overwritten by Judge Gray. The fruitless proceedings for a now trial which Iteconier Stnytho denied arc so recent as lo bo familiar. In these proceedings the defense abandoned its former ground and sol up that the dead girl was in the habit of taking morphine and that the dose which killed her was self- admlnistcrcd. Harris made a long speech. Uo iho court just before ho was sentenced to dlo on thu week beginning May 8. Ho was taken to Sing Sing on March - ' ! . SInce that time his friends have boon circulating petitions all over the state asking the governor for ex ecutive clemency , which has now been de nied and Iho governor oven went so far as to appoint a commission to hear evidence which the defense promised to produce lo substantiate their claim that Mary Helen Potts was addicted to Ihe use of morphine. The commission reported that If Helen 1'otts took morphine. It was medicinally and as prescribed , and on this report the governor severed the lasl thread thai bound Carlyle Harris lo Iho hope of lifo. Xuver Lost IIU CooIneM , Harris has been ono of Iho most remark able murderers ovorarraigned before a court. Never for an instant has he lost his coolness , almost amounting to haughtiness. Never has ho ceased to protest thai ho wasenllrely Innocent and declare his confidence that ho would ultimately bo freed and go clear before fore the world. There has been something theatrical in his manner , but his cold dignity and apparent confidence have had enough of the genuine in them to convince .t great many. Since he has boon in the condemned cell at Sing Sing the reports necessarily received ns hearsay from hl.s keepers have shown thai ho was beginning to break down phys ically and at heart. The last sensational story circulated in connection with him waste to the effect that on the night Hoohl and Pallister , condemned murderers , escaped from the condemned corridors , liberty was offered to Harris and refused. This was denied by ihc prison authorities. OIIJKCTS TO ClliritVIl IHGl.iriOS , ColiCTessnuiM H iwlllln ot ITtnh Itefuses to Servo thn Territory. SiLTLvKE.U.T.May 7.

ABOUT MIXING BUTTER. ComiiiUaloit 'Men Trll Tlivlr Sldn ot the ICrvriHio Ollli lil'H : SI dry. OMUIV , May n. To the Editor of TtinHin : : In your evening edition of May it there ap peared an article purporting to bo the views of ono of the revenue inspectors of this city , which tends to make a stab at honest butter and show that bull butter , or oleomargarine , is superior , both In cleanliness and as an article of diet. We , the butter packers and dealers in both creamery and ladle butter on the Omaha market , do not fool that wo can let such an article go unnoticed , or without an expression ot our contempt for the charges therein contained. Your reporter is rlirht in his statement that butter is rehandled and made into sev- vcral grades b.\ the packers and shippers here , but it is not near all sold for , or in tended for table trades , neither is it used as such , for only the better grades are con sumed by the bakers and grocers ; the bal ance is sold for grease purposes at a relative prico. But why make p tor butter , you ask. The answer is very easy when you consider that oleomargarine is sold socheap at whole sale and so high at retail that there is no encouragement for the farmer to take the pains and time to produce really line butter. As your reporter painted such a line pic ture of "mixing" butter , wo will attempt to paint one on the manufacture of oleomar garine , in the North American ( Philadel phia ) March 2l ! , appeared a telegram stating that H. Mehlman , of Oley , Pa. , was con victed for maintaining a mils.itice. Mehl man had a factory where he boiled up the carcasses of dead horses and cows. Mehl man sent the fat to New York , where It was made into oleomargarine. Here is what , Colonel Ilobert M. Little , secretary of the Chicago Produce exchange , has to say in reference tn the fraud : "Any body who says that butterino is healthful or wholesomeultherdoesn't know what ho Is talking about , or lies. " Ho asks the ques tion. Why an : there so many casesof Brlght's disease since butterino came into use { Mr. II. M. Brandt , before the Kansas State Dairy association , in his remarks said : "The embryo tapeworm exists very freely in leaf laid. This lard must bo cooked if you want to destroy the animalcule. It U not cooked , but only warmed In the manufacture of but- torine. By the use of a microscope , it is easy to dulcet the animalcuhe. No matter how carefully prepared , butterino contains acids that are not found In butter. There Is an easy way of proving this : Simply put calomel in buttorino and you have corrosive sublimate. The Lord only knows how many people have been mysteriously poisoned by taking a Uoso of calomel after eating butter ino. ino.Tho The process of rehaiulling butter is as clean and neat as that of bread making , and it is all done with skilled labor. It is unkind to refer to the honest farmers and condemn them as a class for the actions of ono or two unscrupulous per sons who have attempted to make a few cents by nutting something on the inside of a roll of butler. In all the mil lions of pounds of country butter wo have handled we have never but twice seen any thing of that kind done. How often are "lumpy Jaw" catllo or "downers" consumed by the packing houses wheru oleomargarine is made ? . II might bo well lo add that originally quite a percentage of butter was used iu tlio manufacture of oleomargarine , but wo now understand that there is very Httlo used. Prof. Noycs , at the national butter and checso convention held iu Dubuque , s'lid : "There wore In 1801 , in the United States , 17,000,000 cows , valued at S'iVJ.oao.OM. Their produst , if all converted into butter , would bo valued at fVJ8,000,000.Fiiri Fiiri > II. GI.ICK , Secretary Antl-Oleomargarino Association. DR. DURYJiA'S P1.AN9. Ho Will Itomnln In Omnliii , Itofiislni ; Tempt ing OMors Ktinwlioro. There have beoir rumors alloat for several days in church circles to the effect that Dr. Joseph Duryea had received a call to a prominent church in Salt Lake City and would probably leave Omaha very soon to make his homo In the Mormon capital. Speaking of the mailer to THE BEE reporter , Dr. Duryea said : "I have not been called to a church In Salt Lake or anywhere else. This matter probably grow out of the fact that 1 have had considerable correspond ence with a friend of mine in Salt Lakoaboul Iho work of his church. Hols desirous of get ting away from the work for the purpose of educating his children in the cast. Ho has taken great interest iu the work of building up the church with which ho is connected and has it in excellent condition , both finan cially and socially. On account of the fact that I have been troubled during the past winter with rheumatism , some of my friends in Salt Like have suggested that It would bo well for mo and agreeable to them if I would go out then ) and look Iho field over with a view to taking work there. They seem to think thai the climate of Salt Lake is a positive euro for rheumatism , and I imagine il is in many respects H very pleasant place to live. But I have declined to visit Salt Lake upon what we call a urospectlng tour. My rheu matic trouble has passed away and I am convinced thai il was maroly an acute at tack. I lav the blame lo the exposure dur ing the Mills meetings. Wo were frequently subjected to severe drafts In Exposition hail and I believe thai was the cause of my dlftl- culty. I feel perfectly recovered and have no Intention of leaving Omaha. " Continuing the conversation Dr. Duryoa said thai some of his friends in the cast had also been urging him to accept n professor ship in ono of the leading universities of Now England and fill what Is known as a 1 ? cturo course every year and also fill the pulpit of some church where the work would not bo too heavy. A similar Held had also been suggested to him n number of times by frlenns In No\v York , but these we.ro merely possibilities at present. Ho did not intend under present circumstances to seriously contemplate leaving Omaha. * IT WAS HISBIRTHDAY. A Tourlut Celebrate * thn Occ'itlou by Mli- InfjT In ii ItnllroailVrttcU , M. G. Smllh and Mrs. Sarah Tourtnilot , both of Boulder , Colo. , arrived In the city yesterday on their way to the World's fair. They were in the railroad wreck which occurred noir Boulder Saturday evening and sustained slight injuries. In speaking of the occurrence , Mr. Smith said : "Tho train consisted of a mail car , a smoker and passenger coach and was loaded with passengers , bound mostly for the World's fair. My daughter and I were in the rear coach and as we were bowline along at'a lively rate of speed , only thrco miles from home , the rails suddenly spread apart and let our coach down uuon the ties. After bumping along for an Instant , it toppled over on its sldo. homo ol the passengers scorned to bo pitched into the air and fell In a heap on the under sldo. I was Hitting upon the sldo which struck the ground and when Iho car stooped , found two passengers under mo and two lying upon mo "We scrambled ui > , cut our way out of the car and together with the trulnmcn and iteo- nlo from the smoker begun the work of ox- trtcatin ? tbo wounded , Although none were killed , several will probably tllu and proha lily twenty were Injured Wo could not re turn homo on account of the condition of tin- track , so placing the wounded In the amokcr wo proceeded to Denver. Most of those who were badly hurt were taken to the I'nion Paclllc hospital and thosn who were nblo to proceed continued upon their way. The ac cident might have b.'en much worse , but was very sorlous as It was , far more so Iu fact , than the dispatches make It. " Mr. Smith was 71 years of age on the day of the accident , ami only two months ago foil from a hayloft and was considerably In jured. He avers that ho Is now accident proof and has no fears but that ho shall sco the great Columbian show. "Tho Firn IMirol" nt the I'.inmm. "Standing Hoom Only , " was the sign hung on the Inner walls of the Farnam Street theater yesterday , and the reason theivfor was the opening of the engagoiiK-nt of A. Y. Pearson's "Firo Patrol" company. "Tlu- Fire Patrol" is an admirable play of Its class. sterling setisall'inal melodrama. Its story Is of the good old sort , telling the tale of evil against good. Its scnes are stirrliif In the extreme , and once or twice durim ; yesterday's performance the impressionable , iudlenco went wild with Joy over the triumph of goodness and heartily hissed the villains. The second scene , show ing the Interior of the Homestake stamp initial lo..idwo. . > d , Is an admirable bit of stage building , the ore crushers being seen in full operation , and the climax thai closes the net Is dramatic to a ilegreo. In the fourth act Is seen the real tire patrol wagon , fully manned , rushing throuirh the streets. and then the delight of Iho gallery Is bound less. less.Tho The company is an all round good one.

The oriental , opu'.itle ami spectacular "Joseph In Egvpt" was well receive , ! at the Boyd last evening by an audience that Illled the upper parts of the theater and fairly well sprinkled the p.trquct. The parts were played in a sort of jargon , composed princi pally of German. It was all Greek to tin- writer , but il was evident from the bearing and action of the players that th'-y are act ors , and most of the audience seemed to fully appreciate the speeches , judging from the applause.

Truuhlo a .Notary < ! ot Into 'Ilii-ou li Trust- Ins u I'rlrml. A very uneasy individual at the present time is a certain notary public employed in one of the county ofllces in the court houso. Ho did an actof accommodation , and thereby invited a whole lot of trouble to coma over and spend the summer with him. It seems thai some few month * ago , a certain insur ance man with whom the notary was well acquainteduml in whom he had implicit con- lidence. sought his services to acknowledge the signatures of Iho ins'iranco ' man and his wife to the mortgage of a certain piece of real estate. The lady was not present , as the document had been signed beforehand , but tbo insurance man said that it was the signature of his wife. This the notary bo- lievcd , not only because of his implicit con fidence in Iho word of the man whom IKJ had known for so long , but because ho was also acquainted \viih the lady and her signature. It appeared lo bo genuine , and in order to bo accommodating tlio notary did what scores of notaries in the city do every day ac knowledged the signature without having Iho party present or seeing the signature ufllxed to tlio document. That was six or eight months ago , and this is a world of rapid changes. Today Ihcro is trouble in Iho family of the insur ance man. He and his wife no longer live together , and in endeavoring lo oiled a scl- tleincut the wife has learned for the first time of Iho existence of n mortgage. She d 'dares thai she did not sign il , and that 110 signature is a forgery. Slio does not know whether Iho husband Is the party who is guilty or whether ho induced someone ono else to sign her name. The notary is placed in a tight box by this development , as ho is shown to have dona Just what ho is supposed not to do , and the parties on the other side are engaged in making life ex ceedingly miserable for him with threats of what they will do unless ho can manage In some way to have the matter fixed up. It looks , at the best , as if there would soon b a notarial commission revoked , with a poss p Ulo suit on a bond to follow. /.v TIIK r.tu.KY of mi : inxoa. lurposn of n Compitny Itnorntly with Much OiipUnl.
