Chicago, Oct. . Mayor Harrison

lioulcvarrt Saturday evening at 7:'J3 o'clock
by a man giving lili tinmo as Kugono Pat

.He wns n city ofllcliil desired to see Mr.
Harrison. Tlio mayor was n man who
eevsr refused to sen unyliody nnd ho Im
lutrtlately left the tnblo nnd went into tho
hall, which was brightly lighted. Ho ad
vanced to within u few feet of tlio assassin,
when tho hitter pulled out a pistol and bo
gnu firing without a word. Tl ree shots
were fired as rapidly as he could pull the
trigger nnd two of tho bullets took effect

Within a few minutes after tho shots
were fired Dr. Foster, who had been sum
moned, arrived, and almost simultaneous
ly enmo Drs. I.ynmii, Washburn nnd
Thomas. Thero was nothing to bo done.
The assassin' bullet had accomplished Us
purpose. Death wns doing its work. The
dying man spoke very few words nfter the
doctors arrived. To Dr. Foster ho ex
claimed Just beforo ho died: "Where is
Annie his Intended wife, Miss Howard;
why don't somebody fetch her." Then a
moment later he, nsked for water and
epoko no more. Dr. Foster says Hint the
bullet that killed Mr. Ilnrrlion wns one
that entered just ubovo the navel, it hav
ing caused internal hemorrhage.. The
other body wound was in tho right side
Just under thunrui. Ono shot took effect
in the left hand.
It Is not too much to nny that "politics
did it." For tho assassin shot becnuso he
wasns hoclnlms, disappointed in getting
nclty office, nnd tho mayor's presence in
the city nt tho tlmo was caused by tho

speaker, too. He always wns perfeotly
frank. Ho knew what ho wnntcd nnd
whnt ho thought ho could do nnd ho said
It "right out." Thero was no deception
about Cnrtcr Harrison.
In tlio'ycnr mentioned he wns elected a
county commissioner on what was called,
In rercrcncH to I lis tiieu nut recently past
conflagration, tlio "fireproof" or citizens'
ticket. Ho served with honor In that ca
pacity through those trying days, nnd in
lb7i! was prevailed upon to innKo mo incc
for congress against John 1). Ward. In
Oils contest Mr. Hnrrjson wns defeated by
plurality of 7(0 votes. In 1874 ho ran
SKalu, Ids opponent on this ocraslon being
Ucorgi It. Wivls (the present director gn
srul of tl.o World's fair). The contest was
3tio of tlio closest over recorded. Both
candidates claimed election, nnd n recouut
of tlio ballots wns found necessary to de
ride between them. Tlio second counting
proved Mr. Harrison tlio victor by tlio
slender majority of eight votes.
It was while he wns In congress, in Sep.

llrst wife, the mother of his children, died,

mil Mr. Harrison crossed tlio ocean to
bring his motherless children home. Later
ho returned again and brought the ro

the memory of his great grief fresh upon
him .Mr. Hnrrl.iou refused renomlnatlon
or congroH nt tho hands of tho Democ

ho had defeated befoic, wns elected.
Hlii first rnco for mayor was run In 1870,
slid ho wns elected, n ro-ckctlon following
In the next three terms. During his sec
ond term as mayor ho married Miss Mar
garet Slerne, daughter of Marcus 0.
Sterne, of this city. Ho hold no office from
1887 until 1691, during which period ho
twico declined tho Democratic nomina
tion, nnd onco In 1687 was nominated
finyhow'ntid accepted iu the convention on
tho condition that every mnu present
plcdgn himself to work for success. This
wns done and Harrison accepted, but Ids
second wlfo died that yenr and he re
signed tho nomination and went ou his
trip around tho world.
The Campaign of IBM.
In I6U1 ho ran as an Independent Dem
ocratic candidate ou tho claim of ninny of
his friends that ho hnd been "counted
out" in (ha primaries, nnd that campaign
wns n memorablo one. From the begin
ning to tho end of the campalgu he spoke
from one to four times every night, not ex
cepting Sundays, nlways to large and en
thusinstiu uudlenccs, and he polled when
tho votes wuro dropped in nearly ns large
a vote ns any other candidate. The llepub-
llcnn was elected, liotli regular party can
didates being handicapped with an "inde
pendent."
Ho ran again this year nnd was elected
by tho greatest majority a mayor over got
here. This was douo as was his fourth
election against tho uultcd efforts of near
ly tho whole city press. Thero was but
ono influential paper for Harrison last
spring tho Times and ho owned that.
Tho power of tho press got two very black
eych In the lifetime of Mayor Harrison.
Mr. Harrison wrote but ono book nnd
that was an uecount of his voyage around
the world, In which he wns accompanied
by two boys hit own son aged 1H, and tho
son of Mr. Ambcrg, a trusted frfbud,nged
17. Tho book was called "A Race with tlio
Sun," and was a graphic and character
istic description of his Journey, in which
characteristically ho kept out of the usual
routes traveled and went over routes rare
ly or never travelod.
Mayor Harrison wnsnkiud-henrtud, out
spoken mnu, who never put on nny "frills"
mid was always nppronchnblo. It was to
this fact that he owos his death. It ho had
been "hedged about" a llttlu tho assassin
could not havo been so suro of his aim.
Carter Harrison wanted his Mlowinon to

FACTS ABOUT THE ASSASSIN.
He Occupies tho flame Cell In Jail That
I.oul Lines "hi.
ClllCAOo, Oct. Ul. Prendergast Is brood
ing over hfs "wrongs" In tho cell in the
county Jail whero Louis l.tugg, tho
Anarchist, cheated tho gallows by blowing
his bend off with a high explosive cart
ridge. He, scowls on reporters and has
nothing to say but that he was justified.
The grand jury has promptly Indicted hltn
and tho sentiment Is that his alleged in
sanity should not save him from stretch
ing hemp. He is held ns n crank of the
Utilteau shapo nnd not as a lunatic.
It turns out tlint he lins been writing
letters to senators about tho Sherman law
repeal bill urging tho sllvcritcs to stand
out against cloture, which ho said would
result Iu bloodshed. Ills principal victim
lu tho letter writing matter was Senator
Dubois, who got numerous letters, all
urging tho silver men to stand to their
guns, and declaring that President Clove
land was only binning. He was only one
of many, however, of tho snmo kind, for
the sliver senators have beeudelugcd with
such ellusloas from similar cranks.
Prendergast was born in County Gal
way, Ireland, April t, 1808, but was
brought to Chicago whllo yet n babe. Ho
was educated ut n Homan Catholio school
hero nnd was nlways careful About his de
votions. According to his mother's state
ment some of his father's relatives wero
insane enough to bo confined In nsylums
in Ireland, but ho never showed signs of
Insanity here. He wns morose, however,
nnd did not get along with his compan
ions. He wns at ono time a newsboy At
uniaun, nnd had tho sntao reputation
there, but no one thought Mm Insane. Ills
hobby for the last two yet,rs has been the
single tax theory.

A Shook to l'resldent Clovulnnd Views of
I'romluent Men.
CillCAao, Oct. 31. Tho shock to all
classes of men nt tho nows of Carter Hnr
risou's sudden taking off was great. Pres
ident Cleveland would not bellevo tho
nows uutll it was confirmed and was
greatly shocked. He said the event would
leave regret and palu nil over tho world.
Secretary Grusham said the less was Irre
parable. Vlco President Stevenson said
that Mr. Harrison was one of tho ablest
men he ever mot. Senator Voorhces de
clared that Illinois hnd lost ono of her
greatest men, aud Senator Hill agreed
with that view. Senator Palmer snld he
hnd lost a near friend who would hnvo
probably been a senator from Illinois. All
Illinois men were shocked nnd grieved.
At New York Chatincoy M, Dopuw snld
Mayor Harrlton had n sploudld grasp of
the reins that drove men into political
prominence. Xuwspnpers everywhere are
full of eulogies of tho dead mayor. The
New York Times, Tribune, Morning Ad
vertiser aud other papers hnvo long arti
cles expressing regret at tho terrible occur
rence. West It Is the same. Many papers
notice tho parallel between this nssasslua
tlon and tho ono in which Garfield was the
victim nnd Prendergast is recognized as a
second Gultcau.
All the papers claim that the net, how
ever, was that of n cra.y man. Tho St.
Paul Globe calls It tho darkest crime that
has stulued our history sinco President
Garlleld wns Blnin. New Orleans papers
nro filled with tho sad event, that city be
ing especially interested from tho fact that
the miiyor was about to espouse ono of its
fairest ami most popular daughters. In
spite of tho fact that Carter 11. Harrison's
career was chiefly bound up iu the history
of Chicago, ho was n national character
nnd his loss i the subject of voluminous
notices In every part of tho country.
Gen. Harrison Interview ml,
INUIAKAPUMS, Oct. 80. Kx-Prcsldont
Harrison, when seen ut his homo here aud
nsked for an expression ou tho assassina
tion of Mayor Harrison, said it wns a
trngic nnd distressing affair, cowardly nnd
unprovoked. He had telegraphed his con
dolence to Mrs. Owsley. He did not know
what the telatiouship between himself
nnd tho lato mayor wa"; tho Carters and
Harrisons intermarried iu Virginia in old
times. Referring to a question that is
being asked now how to guard against
the anamination of ofllcials tho ex
president suid it wns n difficult one. A
public o Ulcer cnunot bo cooped up nnd
there nro cranks who ore ever ready for
such mischief as this nssasslnntion. Ho
would uot give nn opinion of Prcudcrgnst's

ClltcAoo, Oct. St. With the expression
cf a city's grief and bereavement visible on
every flag and banner staff of tho hundreds
in the White City the lmlf-mnsted flags
nnd still more mournful reminders of the
great crime psrpetrated Saturday night
wreathing Festival hall In sombro black,
the great Columbian exposition came to an
end yesterday. Inaugurated with a blaze
of color, amid the plaudits of a multitude,
with every evldcnco of Joy nnd festivity
six months ago, It closed with tho pall of
death overliSBglng, checking tho rising
laugh, dampening tho spirits of tho vis
itors and emphasized by the abandonment
of everything of a Joyous chnractor that
had been prepared for tho lost day.
The Meeting at Festival Hall.
All tho buildings wcro open as usual, of
course, and the throngs which filled thorn
showed that the interest in the exhibition
wns kept up to the last. Hut that was all,
Karly iu tho afternoon tho men who had
mado tho fair tho natlonnl commission,
directory, and chiefs of departments with
a throng of other citizens of Chicago nnd
elsowhcre weuded their way to Festival
hall for n purpose very wide of festivity.
The hall wns crowded. Tho speeches woro
many, but brief. All boro testimony to
the sorrow that filled tho hearts of the
speakers, whose uttornnce wns choked
with the depth of their feeling. Tho sad
resolutions which told tho purpose of tho
gathering wcro adopted in silence and
the meeting closed.
Honio Statistics of tho Fair.
Tho great show has been n success. Al
though it has not reached the attendance
figures of tho Paris exposition by about
11,000,01)0 Its receipts have been larger by
several millions. Tho stockholders will
get something out of their stock, but not
k great percentage Tho total attendanco
up to last night was 21,177,212. Iu October
there wero 0,813,435 puld admissions. Yes
terday tho turnstiles reported 20,t73. The
greatest week was the week of Chicago
Day, in which 2,114,053 admissions were
registered.
Upon comparing tho attendanco day by
day with the Paris exposition It Is found
that tho Parisian Sunday, which Is always
a fete day, was what saved tho record for
total attendanco to tho French capital.
Ou other days from beginning to end the
attendance hero kept well uu to that of
Paris, lu spite of the much larger popula
tion in n given radius that Paris had to
draw from.
The Chicago fair takes the cake for
greatest attendance on a special day.

A knothy matter for speculation Is how
many Individuals attended tho fair. From
the facts that nro kuown it is believed that
the number is less, t linn 4,(OO,0O0. The
people from nbroad all hnd tickets giving
thorn from six to ten days to come, sco the
fair and go. Thousands came for a mouth.
Thousands of Chicago people spent many
weeks iu all nt tho White City,
"l'ho Midway, the Mldwayl They do
such things on tho Midway,"ruus tho song
aud tho estimate is that one thing tho
Midway has douo is to tako in about (15,
000,000. Tho fair will get about es.OOO.lOO
from concessions, and the estimated
amount spent nt tho grounds by visitors is
about 35,WJ,f00.
The receipts of the fair will doubtless be
Increased by thoso who will go to see the
