THORN up O’BRIEN
Hei‘rOfi'ered to Reveal Everything
About the Guldensuppe Murder.
A MYSTERIOUS STATEMENT
Capt. O’Brien Refused Steadfasjly to
Disclose the Fact of This Confi-
dence \Vlien Law'yer Howe Cross-
Exumined Him at the Trial.
New York, Nov. 26.—“If you will
promise me immunity from punishment
or will let me plead guilty in a moder-
ate degree, I am ready to tell all I
know about the murder of William
Guldensuppe.”
. This is the sense of the mysterious
statement, until yesterday uhrevealed,
that Martin Thorn made to Capt.
Stephen O’Brien at Police Headquar-
ters the day after his arrest. .
Capt. O’Brien, as reported in these
dispatches, refused steadfastly to dis-
close the fact of this confidence when
Mr. Howe cross-questioned him at
Thorn’s trial. ,
O’Brien had related in detail all that
took place that morning at headquar-
ters, when he questioned Thorn for two
hours oramore. But in the crosseexam-
lnation of O’Brien on Wednesday Mr.
Howe asked:
“What else did Thorn tell you?”
“I cannot reveal that,” O’Brien re-
plied. “Thorn did tell me more, but I
gave him my word I would not disclose
t.)l
Mr. Howe thought for several min-
utes, and then said:
“Well, Captain, under those circum-
. stances, I cannot ask 'you to violate
your word. I will not press the ques-
tion further.”
So O’Brien left the stand with a new
mystery in the case.
The jurymen had waited patiently to
see if O’Brien would be put upon the
rack and made to disclose the state-
ment reposed in confidence in him by
the murderer, but nothing more was
said.
Now, however, it is known that
Thorn pleaded for clemency, knowing
that the grip of the law was upon him.
In his desperation he sought to save
his own life by divulging the tale of
the butchery of the bath rubber.
Capt. O’Brien could not promise the
:mmunity or the clemency Thorn hoped
to gain, so Thorn failed to account for
his actions on the day of the murder.
That Thorn did offer to make some
statement other than that which was
dragged out of him by O’Brien’s sys-
tematic questioning is evident from one
bit of testimony the Captain gave. He
stated on the witness stand that he
had warned Thorn that whatever he
disclosed would be used against him.
One phase presented by this disclos-
ure of the confidential offer of Thorn
to O’Brien is that O’Brien, in his offi-
cial capacity as Captain of Police, re-
ceived a confidence from a man ac-
cused of murder and then declined to
reveal it when placed on the stand dur-
ing the trial of that accused person.
The trial was resumed this morning
at 9.30 o’clock, with a deeper, intenser
interest. The great scenes of the trial
—Augusta Nack testifying against
Martin Thorn, John Gotha testifying
against Martin Thorn, Herman Nack
testifying against Augusta Nack, Mar-
tin Thorn testifying against. Augusta
Nack—are yet to be enacted.
Tomlny Ryan “fins nt Elmira.
Elmira, N. Y., Nov. 26:—-—Before the
Maple Avenue Athletic Club last night
Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse; fought Jim
Ryan, of Australia. Err-Champion
Paddy Ryan, of Troy, was the referee.
The first round started in lively, both
men getting in body blows. Little
damage was done. In the third round
the Australian had the best of it, land-
ing heavily on Tommy’s stomach. A
change occurred in>the fourth, and Jim
retired groggy to his corner. He. was
weak when he stepped to the centre in
the fifth round. Tommy started in to
finish his opponent. In one minute and
twelve seconds he landed a stiff upper
cut on Jim’s left jaw. sending him to
the floor and knocking out several
teeth. He failed to raise and was count-
ed out. ,
Gold Cunt for McKinley.
Chicago, Nov. 26.-~—F. F. Higby, of this
city, has gone to Vi-‘ashington to obtain
the consent of President McKinley to
pose for a life-size statue of solid gold,
to be sent to the Paris Exposition in
1900.
Mr. I—Iigby has been retained by a
syndicate of Western millionaires to
furnish such a statue, and says it will
be about seven fect in height, with the
base, and will contain bullion to the
value of $1,050,000.
Mr. Higby designed and built the
Montana silver statue, which was ex-
hibited at the V-Vorld’s Fair, and for
which Miss Ada Rehan posed.
Secretory Guge’s Speech Criticised.
Washington, Nov. 26.—-The Speech of
Secretary Gage before the Chamber of
Commerce at their annual banquet is
being much criticised by the Democrats
and silver men. His failure to outline
the policy of the Administration is
taken by them to indicate that the Ad-
ministration has no policy in regard to
the currency problem. Republicans,
however, say the criticisms are unjust,
as the Secretary at this time is not in
a position to state the policy 9f the
President. but that the President will
outline his own policy in his recom-
mendations to Congress.
Swindleyr Gets Eight Years.
London, Nov. 26.——The trial of “Capt.”
James Henry Irvine Cruickshank, who
was arrested in September upon a.

Mrs. Leslie, and a. number of other la-
dies out of sums aggregating about
$50,000, representing that that money

place in the Old Bailey Court yester-

Cruickshank pleaded guilty and was
sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The Congres-

SPANISH IOllll FOR LEE
An Attempt to Blow Up the U. S.
Consul’s Headquarters.
EXCITEMENT IN HAVANA
Gen. Lee Will Cause a Rigid Investi—
gation to Be Made—Police Ridi-
cule the Report—Cubans Fire a
Volley at Gen. Blunco’s Palace.
Havana, Nov. 26.—-Consul-General
Lee will cause a rigid investigation to
be made into the attempt of the person
or persons, whose identity is as yet
undiscovered, to blow up the United
States Consulate building.
The police have been working on the
:ase. but their efforts have amounted to
little, and they have not succeeded in
throwing the least light on the mys-
tery.
There is much excitement in the city
over the affair, and every one is anx-
ious to learn the details. The police are
extremely reticent about the whole af-
fair.
The act is supposed to have been the
work of volunteers, who are greatly

sated. His actions excited the sus-
picions of the watchman, who walked
quickly toward him. The fellow im-
mediately ran away. .
The watchman, upon investigating,
found a huge bomb in the doorway.
Its fuse had not been lighted, and un- l
doubtedly the quick action of the
watchman saved the place.
The bomb was taken to the police. It
has not been examined, nor 'will it be
until the arrival of an expert from the
Ordnance Department.
One arrest was ,made soon after the
discovery of the bomb. The prisoner,
However, explained the impossibility of
his having any connection with the of-
fair, and he was allowed to go.
Raid Neru- Blnnco‘s Palace.
The news has been received of a raid
by fifty insurgents, who went within
rifle shot of’ Gen. Blanco’s palace,
where they remained more than two
hours, looting several stores and a
priest’s house within a hundred yards
of the Canavas fortress. This is looked
upon as the most daring raid of the
war.
The insurgents fired a volley across
the narrow strip of water at Gen. Blan-
co’s palace, and then retreated amid a
tremendous fusilade. No one is known
to have been killed. The attack had
been well planned, and Gen. Blanco is
greatly incensed because of the raid.
Gen. Blanco’s shake-up of the police
force throughout the island is causing
considerable comment. The heads of
the departments of police were nearly
all changed, and whenever fraud or un-
due cruelty were discovered drastic
measures were taken.
REAL CU BAN HEROES.

Compromise with Spain.
Havana, Nov. 26.—After the order
had been issued for the release of Gen.
{ins Rivera and Col. Bacallao, who
were captured by Gen. Hernandez. (1e
Velasco last March, both men were
conducted to the palace.
Marshal Blanco received them and
proposed that they should help to re—
store peace by assisting in the estab-
lishment of autonomy.
They declined to accept his proposi—
tion. He then requested them to make
a formal compromise, and to agree not
to take up arms again against Spain.
This also they \refused, declaring, on
the contrary, that when actually free
they would return to the insurgent
camp.
After this high-spirited reply they
were promptly returned to Cabanas
Fortress, where they now remain pris-
oners of war.

To BECOME EL’ECTRlCAL ENGINEERS
Must Start With the Simplest Part oi the
Business and Work Upward 'Slnwly.
The winner’of a prize essay on “How
to Become an Electrical Engineser” ’
says thexboy whose ambition points
that way should be kept at school uni
til he is 17 ye:rs.of age, spending the
last few years at a commercial col-
lege where he will get a good general
education, including geometry,
bra, trigonometry, freehand drawing,
physics, inorganic chemistry, mag-
netism and electricity, practical plane
and solid trigonometry. He should
then start in a small shop, where not
more than twenty to thirty hands are
employed; never, on arty amount, 2::
a large shop. T o begin with, he will
get all sorts of odd jobs, playing ham-
merman to the black-:mith, or tend-
ing the boiler and engine, but he will
be picking up indispensable knowledge
all the time. In a few weeks he will
start on fitting and erecting, learning
to use all the machines, such as mill-
ingjplaning, drilling, slczzing, shaping,
etc. One advantage of Leing in a small
shop is that a man has to learn to make
his own .. tools, an accomplishment
vhich is' apt to come in remarkably
useful on occasions. thei‘ points of
training will be screw cutting, shaft
turning, boring wheels, pinions. hear-
ing blocks, turning crank sharts and
innumerable other jobs. Parents may
think that this is not electrical engin- ‘
.eering, but the electrical engineer must
first be a thorough mechanical engi-
neer. Four or five years may be spent
in such a shop, and classes in mathe-
matics, machine drawing and design,
steam, applied mechanics, inorganic
chemistry, mechanical engineering,
statics, dynamics and physi’cs should be
attended meanwhile, and the use of the
slide rule should be acquired. His next
step should be to enter an electrical
shOp. Before doing so, however, he
must decide on his specially, for elec-
tricity has expanded so widely in its
application that the would-be electric-
al engineer finds it to his advantage,
even if it be not an absolute necessity,
to take up one branch and stick to it. .
‘ It may be the manufacture of dynamos,
motors or other electric power plants;
Ielectric lighting, electric heating, the
manufacture of electric fittings, the
l Wiring of buildings and vessels, or one
of a score of other branches, but the
moret he concentrates himself on his
ichosen line, the better will be his
chance of success. The young electric-
al engineer should constitute as a guid-
ing principle the fact that the great
object aimed at nowadays isto produce
the best results with the legs: cost, and
in a specified time.
THE EARLIEST MINI-IRS.
Astonishing Record Goes Back to 5,000
Years B. C.
The earliest miners and metal work-
ers of whom we have record were the
Ayron people of Euro-Asian origin,
who, though of pastoral and arboreal
habits, were familiar with the metals
and worked with them—at least with
the metals, gold, silver, and bronze.
Chaldeans and Assyrians, as we now
know from the cuneiform inscriptions
which go back 3,000 years B. C., were
undoubtedlyexpertinthe use of metals,
while the Egypians had an intimate
knowledge of the arts and sciences. In
the brick and other inscriptions recent-
ly discovered artisans are seen at work
with curious details of their methods
and tools. Potters, indeed, had at-
tained eminence in their art, and the
Egyptians had certainly a knewledge
of chemistry, as the samples of their
glass blowing the stone , pictures of
tools, forceps, blowpipe, etc., prove.
Gold was largely used at an early
period—between 4,000 and 5,000 years
B. C., as we find from some newly
discovered and ingenious weighing
balances. Many centuries older than
the pyramids, which date from fifty to
sixty centuries back, we have examples
of engineering in Memphis, which
could not have been constructed with-
out tools and necessarily an acquaint-
ance with metals. The word “met-
als” is of Semitic origin—the Hebrew
word “meta” to forge, indicates an
early acquaintance with the fusing of
ores and the malleability of metals.—

AN OLD BELL-RINGER.
He Had an Unbroken Service of Eighty-
One Years.
Lincolnshire possesses the oldest
bell-ringer in England. At Tetney
lives Matthew Laking, who was born
in 1801, and is therefore ninety-six
years old. He started bell-ringing
fifteen years of age, and .his therefore
an unbroken service 'of eighty-one
years in the parish belfry. It means
that Matthew Laking rung a muffled
peal for the death of George III. in
1820, and celebrated the accession of
George IV. in the same year. officiated
at the monarch’s death in 1830, and
again took part in the accession of
William IV. and his death in 1837. Be-
ginning with the accession of Queen
Victoria, he has been connected with
every subsequent important epoch in
her life, and on the jubilee day form:
ed one of three in ringing a peal of
thanksgiving. Although ‘born just
outside Tetney, he has practically lived
in the village all his life. - A world of
local reminiscence in» himself, he has
had to retire from his ordinary avoca-
tion as a laborer through advancing
years. _
