Wasumoton, Nov. 6, Cranks have
no: been as plentiful in (be past few
weeks as usual, bat Thusdsy warning
was received from a civil engineer rrm
Idaho. His name and address were
given correctly, a was discovered up
on investigation by the police. This
communication said that ouly a few
rks ago. while at hi home in Idaho,
tli writer had entered .uto conrersa
ti a wnh a man in a res auraut, and of
c ir e the silver ret 1 bill csme!
up for discussion. Tii- man became
much excited and viui and abusive
in denunciation of policy, of tii
president and those most active with
him iu support of the movement to re
peal nncondiuonally the 8berraan law !
for the purchase of silver. Finally the
man so far 1-nt control of himself that '
ht made threats of violence, which, I
b ever. it was thought, had no really
se.ious signiiiT'iace, but merely a tem
porary outburst.
lhe letter writer thought nothing
more of the matter until his arrival
I ir, wucu, aa is uaLurai wun strangers
u look a stroll through the white
do ise grounds. In following one of
the winding paths he was wstonisbed to
see, just in advance of b m, the man
who had talked in Idaho so violently
regarding the president and his policy.
While seated in his room that night
i an idea struck the civil engineer that
j possibly the fellow might mean mis
i chief. Then he confided bis suspicions to
one T two other persous in the house
wh was he stopping. ' The advice
J givn him which be co . idered most
j worthy of following was to say nothing
, to anyone but to go to the grounds
again the next day and if be saw the fel-
low again to point him out to the offi
cers on the place who uld speedily
take care of him. Accordingly he went
to the vicinity of the whit house early
the next morning and shortly after bis
arrival there saw the same individual
about the grounds. At aoout tbe same
time the fellow saw him and ran away,
as he had done before. He then made
up his mind to warn tbe suthorities
and give an acurate description of the
fellow. According to this description
the man is of medium height end o(
rather slender build, with red hair, a
sharp-pointed sandy beard, and blue
eyes. Now the police force is keeping
a sharp lookout for the man with tbe
sharp-pointed sandy beard, and a de

Omaha. Nov. 6. John Ben well, one
of tbe men in the county jail charged
with tbe murder or Farmer Akeson, has
made a confession to Jailer Keunett, in
which he shields himself to some ex
tent but gives the details much as they
were reported at tbe time of the mur
der. According to the story be is
alleged to have related to the jailer be
and Hill (alias hogers) first met in
Weeping Water and were hired by Tom
Akeson to busk corn. They worked
one day, whet) old man Akeson dis
charged them, 'lbey then went to
Weeping Water and after drinking
considerable conceived tbe idea of rob
bing tbeir late employer. Ben well tells
the story of tbe snooting as follows:
"After buying a revolver we started
back to tbe Akeson farm on foot. Then
we went to the barn of Akeson, and
Hill took one pair of lines from a har
ness and I took one to tie the people
up. There we traded coats and put
handkerchiefs on our faces for masks.
I carried tbe lines and a club, and Hill
carried the gun in his hand. When we
reached the house Hill entered first,
with gun in band, and demanded Tom
Akeson, who sat almost directly In
front of the door, to stand up and hold
up his bands. He did so. Then I en
tered with the club in front of me. Tbe
old man, who sat to the right of the
door, made a grab for my club. I
jumped back to keep him from catch
ing the club, and in doing so stepped
backward out of the door. Then I
heard two shots fired. Immediately
three others came In close succession.
1 jumped in the door and saw Hill, Tom
Akeson and a hired man scuffling in
tbe corner. They were beating Hill
with a cbair, and he was trying to re
load his revolver. His handkerchief
fell from his face. I ran in to assist
him, when the folks all left tbe room
and went into and adjoining room. My
handkerchief had falen, too. Hill
called to me to go in there Hfter them.
The old lady stood in the doorway
with a chair. She kept yelling not to
come near her or she would hit us with
the chair.

Washington, - No. 7.---Bills have
now been reported from the house com
mittee on territories, providing for
three new states, Arizona. New Mexico
and Utah. There is now pending be
fore tbe committee the bill introduced
by Flynn for tbe admission of Oklaho
ma. It is expected that there will be
something of a contest over this pro
position. There are two fractious in
the Indian territory which are interest
ed in the admission. One wants the
Indian territory admitted as a portion
of Oklahoma, and the other wants the
section now known as Indian territory
to remain in its present condition.
Delegate Flynn says it is to, no parti
cular moment to him. If tbe people
of Indian territory do not want to
come in with Oklahoma that he wants
Oklahoma admitted separately.

Chicago, Nov. 7. A meeting of the
democratic aldermen was held at tbe
Sherman bouse. What was done Is
shrouded in more or less mystery, and
the result of their deliberation was a
matter for conjecture on the part of all
sxcepttbe initiated. Alderman John
McGillen, when asked what had been
accomplished at the meeting, replied:
"Nothin r at alL I told tbe aldermen
that if there was any possibility of
winning over to our side the one blank
vote tbat was cast and that If that
could be secured by substituting
another for my name as a candidate
for acting mayor, I was ready, willing
and glad to step out and would sup
port heartily any such candidates
without regard for myself."
No room in the city hall presented a
more peaceful appearance than the
scene of Saturday's aldermsn strife.

desired admittance. In the ante-room

Des Moines, Nov. 8. The story ol

governor, state officers and general as-

New Yokk, Nov. 8. The empire
sute has gone republican by a big
majority. A number of causes have
contributed to this result. Richard
Croker, the chief of Tammany hall,
says the panic of last summer, which
threw great numbers of men out of
employment, was the cause of the land
slide, which seems to be general. In
this state there were some important
reasons for the defeat of the demo
cracy. In the first place the opposition
to Judge Isaac H. Maynard in the
democratic party affected the whole
ticket Then tbe fight made against
the city administration in Brooklyn
bad a strong effect on the state ticket.

VICTORY FOR JL'IMiK OAKY .
Chicago, Nov. 8. The interest in
yesterday's election centered in the
candidacy on the judicial ticket of Ex
Judge Gary who presided at the trial
of the Haymarket anarchists, and in
terest in the other candidates was lost
sight of in tbe light between the
factions beaded on the one side by the
jurist and on the other by Governor
Altgeld, who pardoned two of the
anarchists. The morning balloting
was unusually heavy. Tbe laboring
men were particularly prominent in
the crowds of voters, but did not seem
to be acting unitedly. The labor party
had announced Itself opposed to Gary,
but the rank and file were to a large
extent apparently voting independently

elected but bis majority has not yet
been determined.

Barcelona, Nov. A dynamite
bomb, thrown by alleged anarchists
into a crowded theater, ia the latest
outrage and disaster to be recorded if)
Spain.
Tbe Liceo tlioater, on the Rambla de
Capuchinez, the Italian opera house, a
magnificent building, sometimes
classed as the largest theater in Europe
was tilled with a large and distin
guished audience which is estimated
to have numbered close on to 1,000 peo
ple. The opera "William Tell" was
being preformed, for the first time
aftx a long interval. While the per
formance was proceeding and the eo
iovment was at its beiebt. two
dynamite bombs, weie hurled from the
to most gallery Into the midst of the
sU. is on the floor of tbe house.
One of the bombs exploded with a
terrible report, which shook the theatre
to its foundation, scattering death and
wounds and destruction upon all tides.
The second bomb, happily, did not ex
plode. It fell in the lap of a lady, from
where it dropped harmlessly to the
floor.
The explosion caused a scene of
terror and confus on rarely witnessed
in a theatre. The whole audience rose
to its feet with horror and dismay,
bardly knowing what had happened,
tlte building ringing witb shrieks of
fear, cries of pain and exclamations of
vengeance,
weak trampled under foot.
For a moment the Liceo was filed
with smoke and dust, falling glass and
plaster, which caused a horrible rat
tling din, all this adding to the horrors
of the situation and Increasing the
feeling of terror and wild panic which
animated the vast audience.
r he terrilied people, fearing that st
any moment another bomb might be
thrown in their midst, completely lost
control of their actions. All regards
for women and children seemed to
vanish in those moments of fearful
sauve qulpeut," and there was a fierce
and hustling rush for the doors. lien
and women tought fiercely with each
other as lbey crushed weaker ones be
neath their feet in the effort to escape.
The wounded and dying were left be
hind, tended only by a fewer of the
braver heads who remained faithful to
tbeir dear ones. In this mad rush
many old people and children were se
verely injured by being trampled under
foot,wbile others were severely bru ied
and crushed by tbe outpouring crowd.
Thus, in a very few minutes, compara
tively, the theatre was emptied, except
of the dead and injured.
FIFTEEN KILLED BY THE BOMR.
The inside of tbe theatre presented a
terrible appearance. Near where the
bomb exploded was a mass of splinter
ed wood, among which by numbers of
dead bodies, some of them so horribly
mangled as to be beyond recognition.
When the wreckage was In some de
gree cleared away there were fifteen
dead bodies, of which six were men and
nine women. The bodies of the
unfortunate young ladies lay close to
gether, their bright colored evening
dresses, laces, jewelry, gloves, hats, bon
nets and other finery drenched with
blood and torn In the most fearful
m inner. It was reported after an ex
amination of the dead that a larga por
tion of the killed belonged to one fam
ily, who had taken a number of tickets
it is presumed forming a theatre par
ty in honor of one of those shattered
to death by the anarchist's bomb. At
some distance from the spot where the
fifteen dead bodies lay were groaning
in agony many men and women who
had been wounded by splinters of
wood, pieces of glass and fragments of
iron. Of those wounded several were
so seriously hurt that lbey will die.
VICTIMS OF THE TEHIIIIILE ( RUSH.
Physicians who were hastily sum.
moned by the police, arrived in quick
successiou and immediately commen
ced a careful examination of this latesl
outrage in Spanish history. Tbe dead
n-ere removed and laid together and
fie wounds of those seriously hurt were
attended to by the physicians. The
Uairs and corridors were searched foi
jead and wounded people who fell vic
tims to that horrible rush for tbe doors
which followed the explosion, Upo
the stairs and in theconidors three
persons were found lying dead and a
large number of seriously injured peo
ple were picked up.
Outside the theatre wai surrounded
by a dense crowd of people who pack
ed the llambla de Capuchinez to the
utmost and who were with difficulty
kept back by a strong body of police.
It seemed from the apprarance of the
itreet. that the while population ol
Barcelonia was out of doors and many
were the expression of bitter indlgna
tiou from all sides against the anar
chists. All the mm arrested on suspicion ot
being the authors of the oitragehave
proved to the satisfaction of the police
that they had nothing to do with It. It
is feared that ths miscreants who com
mitted the dastardly crime made theti
escape before the officials at the opera
house reached the gallery.
