Fright-fol Torture-Indicted on an
Old Man by Two Thieves.

IT’S A MIRACLE HE’S ALIVE.

After Cracking Him on the Head They
String Him Up by the Wrists, Where
lie Hangs for Fifty-one Hours.
Unconscious When Found.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J ., Jan. 23,—The
condition of old John Toms, the caretaker
of the old Felter mansion on the Hamilton
street road, about a mile and a half from
here, who was triced up by his wrists by
two robbers and left hanging for fifty-one
hours, was improved Thursday, but he
still suffers from the shock to his nervous
system, and his wrists are swollen and in
a terrible condition, the rope having cut
through his flesh to the bone.

As the full story of the awful brutality
to Toms becomes known the indignation
of the country people reaches fever heat,
and it is certain that the punishment of
the rascals will be the severest that the
law can inflict.

The Felter mansion is owned by Mrs.
Jane Kilpatrick, a wealthy resident of 140
Hamilton street, this city. It is occupied
during the summer by Mrs. Kilpatrick,
her daughters and two sons, and in the
winter Toms is left in charge.

Toms says he was sitting in ,the kitchen
of the big house preparing his dinner,

 

when Frank Cook and John \Valker, care-
takers of the John Boundey estate, almost
directly opposite the Felter mansion, en.
tered the room, and crept toward him with-
out being seen.

Terrible Torture.

As he bent forward to rake the fire one l
'of the men jumped upon him, and throw- l
ing him face forward upon the floor l
.struck him upon the back of the head. l
'Then the men carried Toms, who had been E

l
I
l

rendered partially unconscious by the
blow, up two flights of stairs to a clothes
closet at the rear of the house.

There they took a rope which they had ‘
brought with them and tied Toms’ wrists l
behind his back. Then they gagged him I
with a dirty towel, and attaching one end
of the rope to a heavy iron hook some :
seven and a half feet from the floor, drew
the other end through between the man’s !
arms and hauled until Tom’s toes just l
touched the floor. l

The rope was made fast, and with his l
whole weight sustained by his wrists '
Toms was left hanging. An idea of the l
terrible torture he endured may be given l
by the statement that the most obstinate l
convicts in the state prison are brought to f
terms in less than a minute when hung up :
thus in the “weighing machine,” but with -
their wrists triced up in front of them, in-
stead of behind. ,

After robbing Toms of $57, the savings
of several months, the fiends fastened the
door of the closet in which Toms hung
with a spring lock on the outside, and ;
then piling a lot of heavy furniture against
the entrance leisurely departed.

His Face :1 Bloody Ill-ass.

There he was left swinging in the air, -
with his toes just touching the floor and '
his body slanting forward, enduring the
most terrible sufferings. Toms remained ;
from 12 O’clock last Saturday until 3
o’clock Monday afternoon in this position. i
His continued absence alarmed Mrs. Kil- ,
patrick, who drove out from New Bruns-
wick, discovered his condition and caused
his release. Toms was nearly dead when 3
found. He was insensible. In his agony ;
he had bitten and chewed his tongue and
lips until they were a bloody mass. Thick
clots of blood had formed in the gashes on
his wrists. His face was streaked with
blood, and his hair was spotted with blood
from a wound on the back of his head, re-
ceived from a blunt instrument, with
which his assailants had first struck him
down.

He was taken in Mrs. Kilpatrick’s car-
riage to her city home. A physician was
immediately called in, and regarded it as
the most wonderful thing that To ms had
not died during the first twelve or fifteen
hours. He considered it a miracle that
the man had existed so long, and could
scarcely credit the story that he had been
triced up for fifty-one hours. All night
long Toms was in agony. His wounded
wrists were very sore and gave him great
:pain. So also did the wound at the back
of his head. The muscles of his abdomen
were also badly strained. i-lis wounds
'were carefully dressed, and a sedative was
given to him that enabled him to get some
.rest.

The Brutes at Large.

John \Valker and Frank Cook, the
men whom Toms accuses of committing
Ihis outrage, are still at large. Detectives
‘Oliver and Moussell, who were detailed by
Chief Of Police Harding to arrest the two
men, returned after a fruitless search,
They had a consultation with the chief
and started out again. Up to the present
time neither \Valker nor Cook has been
arrested. The impression is that the two
men have got safely away. They had two
days and a half in which to make their es~
cape, and they have undoubtedly made
the best of their time.

Their whole attack on Toms was evi-
dently premeditated. They had been steal-
ing his butter, and knew that he had se-

'cured warrants for their arrest. They
. knew that the police were after them, and
they made up their minds to put Toms
out of the way after robbing him. The
means they took betrayed unheard of
cruelty on their part. They were desperate
men and stopped at nothing. If captured
it is likely they will get sentences for
the robbery, assault and grand larceny
that will keep them in state prison for a
good many years to come.

Eva Is Josh Mann's Wife.-

NEW YORK, Jan. 23. ——Surrogate Ran-
som Thursday afternoon decided that the
marriage of Eva L. Hamilton to Robert
Ray Hamilton was void, and that Eva is
still the wife of Joshua J. Mann. In the
midst of the delivery of his decision the
surrogate made the assertion that his find-
ing of fact where the re is a conflict of evi-
dence settled the fact for all time, as the
appelate courts would be powerless to re-
view his decision.

Booth’s Bequest Refused.

LONDON, Jan. 23.—Mayor Savory refuses
to grant the request of Gen. Booth that
the homeless poor be permitted to sleep in
the municipal buildings. The mayor says
that he believes existing agencies adequate
for the relief of distress, and that the po-
lice deny the general’s statements regard-

A DOZEN \VANI‘ ING'A LLS’ SEAT.
And Among Them Is St. Jolfn, the Noted
Prohibitionist.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 23.—Five new Al-
liance senatorial candidates appeared in
the field yesterday. Some of them are
avowed candidates, while others are only
talked of by friends. Most prominent
among the latter number is vex-Governor
John P. St. John, the noted Prohibition-
ist. In an address on Tuesday night be-
fore a large audience he declared himself
in favor of the object of the Farmers’ Alli-
ance and severely criticised Mr. Ingalls.

Another candidate is Gen. C. W. Blair,
who fought on the Union side durin g the
war with great honor. He is a Democrat,
and is considered by many as a good com-
promise candidate. The others are Col.
W. A. Harris, of Leavenworth, C. M.
Scott, state lecturer of the Alliance, and
John Davis, congress1nan_elect from the
Second district. The total number of Al-
liance men who want to succeed Mr. In-
galls is now an even dozen.

The Republican members of the legisla-
ture held a caucus last night on the sena-
torial question, and decided to stay by In-
galls until he was elected. A telegram
was read from Senator Ingalls announc-
ing that he had started for Topeka.

It Was a Bombshell.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 23.——At the session
of the National Brick Manufacturers’ as-
sociation here D. V. Purington, of Chica-
go, sprang a bombshell on the convention
in the shape of a paper on the labor ques-
tion, advocatingthe profit sharing system.
Mr. Flood, of Philadelphia, made a sharp
speech in favorof the workingman, saying
that one Philadelphia brickxnaker had
made €40,000 last year, while his men were
not paid enough to live on. This precipi-
tated a storm of indignant protest, and
one indignant member endeavored to have
the whole discussion expunged from the
records, because if such a report should
go out it would cause strikes and troubles,
and the men were already troublesome
enough. He declared that all the mem-
bers of this convention wanted was to
make money and live quietly. Finally a
pacific resolution was adopted, and the
matter was dropped.

Think He’s the Polish Assassin.

DENVER, 0010., Jan. 23.-—A report comes
from Silvcrton, in this state, that Padlew-
ski, the Pole, who murdered the Russian
general, Seliverskofi, in Paris some
months ago, was seen at that place re-
cently. A man answering his description
in every particular arrived there on the
train from Duran go. He purchased a
burro and a prospector’s outfit and disap-
peared into the mountains. From remarks
dropped to some Russians and French-
men the suspicion was created that he was
the man so badly wanted in Europe. He
was certainly well acquainted With Pari-
sian localities.

The Deadlock in Montana.

HELENA, Mon, Jan. 23.—It is expected
that the deadlock in the house here will
end this week. It Was given out by prom-
inent. members of the Democratic party
that they will make a proposition to the
Republicans that the twenty-five members
of each party whose selection is undisputed
go into one house; that three of the Demo-
crats who claim the seats from Silver Bow
éounty and two Republicans also come in,
and that the Republicans be given the re-

 

 

 

 

organization Of the house. It is believed
that the Republicans will accept this com-

Want, in Reopen the Bank.
KANSM CITE. .\ln., Jan. 23.—A commit-
tee of pvrm‘nuul. local capitalists called
upon United States Bank Examiner Mar-
shal Thursday and informed him that
they were prepared to. submit a proposi-
tion for the reopening of the American

if they would place their proposition in
writing he would refer it to the comp-‘
trollerof the treasury at Washington.
The Evening Star has a telegram from
Comptroller Lacy to the effect that such a
proposition would receive his prompt at:
tention.

Cheap Aluminium in Sight.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 23.-—The Cowles Elec-
tric Smelting and Aluminium company
held its annual meeting here. A half ton
of pure aluminium, manufactured at their
works in Lockport, N. Y.,was displayed
to the shareholders. Under the new process
employed by this company pure aluminium
is now sold at retail at $1.25 a pound, the
cheapest price in the world. With the
improvements now in progress it is ex-
pected to bring the price down to figures
that will solve the question of producing
cheap aluminium.

Smashed Into the Rear Car.

BOSTON, Jan. 23.—Train N o. 154 on the
Boston and Maine railroad, which leaves
Portland for Biddeford at 10:15 a. m., and
which stops at Scarboro Beach station,
was run into Thursday morning in the
rear, while standing at that station, by an
engine going to Biddeford to do S‘Vitehr.
ing. General Manager Furber said that
he understood that five or six people were
injured. The wires are working very bad-
ly east of Saco and reports are meager.

 

Good Effects of the Lymph.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23,—A bulletin of .
the University tuberculosis commission
will be published in a few days in The.
University Medical Magazine. It will say:
“After reaction the symptoms were de-
cidedly better than before treatment. ‘In
no instance were there any serious symp-
toms following the treatment, and the
general condition of the patients seems to
be improved. In a number of instances
there was a distinct gain in weight.”

Bright for ‘Vestinghouse.

PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 23.-—A circular let-
ter has been received from London stating
that George \Vestinghouse has received
$250,000 for his air brake patents from the
London Air Brake Co. He is also to re-
ceive a salary of $30,000 b. year to cover any
air brake invention he may produce. It is
the hope and expectation here that Mr.
Westinghouse will now resume his elec-
tric company, which is in sad financial
straits.

Lottie Townsend Is Dead.

CA’I'SKILL, N. Y., J an. 23,—Lottie Town-
send, who has been dangerously ill from
the effects of malpractice at the hands Of
Dr. Erway and the Rev. Mr. George, died
in Leeds. An autopsy was held, and re-
vealed the most brutal malpractice on the
part of Dr. Erway. The inquest will be
held on Friday. The prisoners will then
be real-rested on the charge of murder.

Forty Killed Outright.

ST. Pnrrnsnmm, Jan. 23,—It is learned
that a disastrous explmion occurred near
Charkov, in a pit at J uskova depot. Forty
miners who ware at work in the pit at the
time were killed outright, while eighty
others were removed in an unconscious
condition. Many of those thus rescued
are believed to have suffered fatal injuries.

The Tragic Ending to a Protracted
Drunken Debauch.

A HORROR-GRAZED MOTHER.

She Sees Her Sou Literally Hacked to
Pieces by Her Liquor Frenzied Hus-
band and Is Unable to Prevent
It—Dead in an Hospital.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 23.—As the re-
sult of a drunken debauch an old man
lies in jail, his hands steeped in the life
blood of his son, who lies dead in the city
hospital, and the poor old mother of the
unfortunate victim of a father’s blind
rage is almost crazed with horror at the
awful tragedy enacted before her very
eyes.

A Desperate Struggle.

John Miller, a blacksmith, living at 12
Hudson park, went home drunk Wednes-
day night, and was at once remonstrated
with by his son, John Miller, for his idle-
ness and neglect to support his family.
The two men were standin g in the kitchen
at the time. Resenting his son’s words,
the father in a drunken frenzy sprang
upon him and a fight followed. The two
men struggled desperately, and in the con-
flict dishes upon the table were dashed to
the floor and broken, chairs were over-
turned, aud the room was thrown into con-
fusion. Suddenly the elder Miller drew
a knife from his pocket, and opening the
longest blade he made a lunge at his son,
cutting a gash the entire length of the left
cheek and penetrating clear through the
flesh. Again and again the father struck
at his son, inflicting four more wounds in
the left cheek, none of them, however, of a
serious nature.

A Horrifled Mother.

Unable to defend himsel f the son grasped
apitcher, which was near at hand, and
hurled it at his father, the missile striking
him just over the left eye and making a
large gash. The son then beat a retreat
through the other three rooms in the
housein an effort to escape. The blood
was flowing freely from the wounds in his
face, and the carpet and furniture in
all the rooms were spattered with the
fluid. The father, knife in hand, pur-
sued his son, ,and succeeded in plunging
the weapon into his left side, the blade
penetrating to the abdominal cavity. The
son finally escaped to the hallway and fled
down stairs, where he was quickly joined
by his mother, who, nearly crazed with
horror, had been a helpless Witness of the
struggle, and taken to a house on the op-
posite side of the street.

The Father Arrested.

Miller was arrested promptly, and the
son was removed to the city hospital,
where, after lingering in great agony, he
died at 3:40 O’clock Thursday morning.
Both men are blacksmiths. The father is
58 years Old, and his son was 28. The lat-
ter bore a good reputation. His father
had been on a protracted spree, and the
son was obliged to support his mother and
sister. Miller’s wife has not lived with
him for sometime, owing to differences
between them.

Miller said Thursday morning he knew
nothing of the affair except that he was
very drunk. He is in a somewhat dazed
condition, and does not appear to fully re-
alize the enormity of the fearful crime of
which he has been guilty. The victim’s
mother is utterly prostrated with grief,
and her reason is feared for.

Shot by His Stepfather.

HARRISON, N. J., Jan. 23,—It is now
thought that VVardell, a young saloon
keeper who was shot by his stepfather,
John Thompson, will live. The bullet
penetrated his right lung, and while it is a
dangerous and particularly painful wound,
the doctors hold out fair hopes of his re-
covery. Thompson, the would be mur-
derer, is a man over 60 years of age. Im-
mediately after the shooting he was ar-
rested by Policeman Egan and confined in
the town jail.

He was very drunk at the time, but
Thursday morning when he awoke he re-
membered the full particulars of the shoot-
ing, He said that he had fired a shot at'
\Vardell, but did not express the least cone
trition about it, nor did he inquire whether
his victim were alive or dead.

The saloon at 10 John street, where the
shooting occurred, is a very respectable
place, and the proprietors bear a good rep-
utation in the neighborhood. Old Thomp-
son, however, enjoys quite a local noto-
riety, and seems to possess a singular pro-
clivity for getting into rows.

BRIEF BIENTION.

Lucretia Harrington, formerly an act-
ress. and ircus performer known as Leo
Coles, shot herself dead in her apartments
in New York, She was a native of Balti-

sidered speculation in silver to be as justi-
fiable as speculation in corn or wheat or
any other commodity.

Jacob H. Gallinger (Republican) was
elected United States senator from New
Hampshire for the full term of six years.

Six miners were injured, one of them

chants of Bradford, Pa., have been arrest-
ed in Hamilton, Ont., charged with de-
frauding their creditors of nearly $90,000.

At Hartlepool Mr. Furness (Gladsl onian)

was subsequently re-elected.

J. Donald Cameron was formally de-
clared elected United States senator from

A Scheme to Run Freight Steamers Bo-
’ tween the Two Points.

DETROIT, Jan. 23.—About two years ago
a syndicate was formed in London whose
object it was to build and operate a line
of steamships, to run from some point in
England to Chicago, bringing over miscel-
laneous freight and carrying dressed beef
and dairy products back. Nothing was
done at that time owing to the fact that
Canadian canals would not accommodate
ships drawing nine feet of water. Recent-
ly the shallowest canal has been so far im-
proved as to afford a depth of over .nine
feet, and the project is being pushed with
a vigor which indicates that the salt water
ships may soon be steamed up and down
the great lakes.

An agent of this syndicate is now on a
visit to the different lake cities,makin g con-
tracts for freight by the new line, and so
far he has met with sufficient success to
satisfy him that the undertaking will be
a great success. The capital stock will be
$5,000,000. and there will be ten steamships
built to begin with. These steamships
will cost from $125,000 to $150,000 each, and
will form a Weekly line, with two steam-
ships running wild.

Parnell in Parliament.

LONDON, Jan. 23,—Parliament convened
Thursday. The house of commons met
with Speaker Peel presiding. The attend-
ance was small, and the spaces reserved
for the occupation of privileged persons
and visitors were almost deserted. Mr.
Parnell. who, with the great majority of
the Irish members, was promptly in his
seat, gave notice that he would to-morrow
call attention to the crimes act, and that
he would present a resolution asking that
the government facilitate the discussion
and disposition of that measure. When
Messrs. McCarthy and Sexton introduced
Sir John Pope Hennessy, the recently
elected McCarthyite member from the
northern division of Tipperary, that gentle-
man was the recipient of an ovation, the
Liberals and anti-Parnellites indulging in
loud and repeated cheers.

The Duke of Bedford a Suicide.

LONDON, Jan. 23.—-The verdict of the
coroner’s jury which has been investigat-
ing the circumstances attending the death
of the Duke of Bedford has been an-
nounced. It is to the effect that the duke
died from a bullet wound through his
heart, and that the wound was self in-
flicted while the deceased was temporarily
insane. Mystery shrouds the whole affair.
The death of the duke was not registered
until five days after its occurrence, and
the press joins in rebuking the authorities
concerned in attempting to hush the mat-
ter up. The body was cremated after the
inquest, which was secretly conducted.

duke were not aware of the cause of death
until the newspapers took the matter up.

Fought Like Hyenas.

HAMMOND, Ind., Jan. 23.—Jim Doyle and
Con Murphy engaged in a finish fight two
miles south of this city in the presence of
about seventy-five spectators. The men
were evenly matched, both weighing 160.
At the call of time they went at each other
like hyenas, Doyle winning blood and
knock down. The mill was of the slaughter
house order. In the fifth round Murphy
led with a straight left, but fell short and
missed. In return he received a terrific
blow on the chin, which sent him half un-
der the ropes, where he lay until Doyle
was declared the winner. The fight was
for $325 and the gate money.

Giant Powder Again.

HELENA, Mon., Jan. 23,—By a premature
blast of giant powder in an excavation at
Butler station, Assistant Division Engi-
neer M. M. Kinney, of the Northern Pa-
cific, was instantly killed and a dozen
workmen had a miraculous escape. An
eight pound charge of powder was placed
in the hole, and the fuse leading to it
burned so slowly that the men thought it
had missed fire. Kinney and the workmen
went to examine the charge. and arrived
just as it exploded. Other workmen were
buried in the debris, but none was seri-
ously injured.

A Shotgun Quarantine.

HOUSTON, Tex., Jan. 23.—\Vhile small-
pox is prevalent here it is not epidemic,
but citizens on San Felippe street, be-
tween the city and, the pest house, yester-
day inaugurated a shotgun quarantine on
their own hook, and neither state nor city
officials can break through except at the
risk of life. The matter is serious, and
the hotheaded citizens will have to be
convinced of their mistake before the
blockade can be raised.

And the best lam
ever made, like Ala -
din’s of old, :1 “won-
derfullamp!" Alamp
absolutely non-
explosive and un-
breakable, which
gives a clear, soft,
brilliant white light
of 85 candle flower!
Purer and brighter
than gas light, softer
than electric light,
more cheerful than
either! That lamp is

“The Rochester.”

And with it there is.no smoke, no smell,
no lira/cm chimneyr, no flickering, no sweating,
no climbing .up of the flame, no “tantrums "
nor annoyance of any kind, and it never
needs trimming. Its founts (oil reservoirs)
being tough rolled seamless brass, with cen.
tral draft, it is absolutely unbreakable,
and as safe as a tallaw candle.

Only five years old, and over a million ands
half in use. It must be a GOOD lamp to
make such a telling success. Indeed it is,
for lamps may come and lamps may go, but
the “ Rochester” shines on forever! We
make over 2,000 artistic varieties,-—Hanging
and Table Lamps, Banquet Study, Vase and
Piano Lamps,—-every kin , in Bronze, Por-
celain, Brass, Nickel and Black Wrought Iron.

Ask the lamp dealer for it. Look for the trade-
mark stamp: “Tl-IE Rocnssrza.” “If he hasn’t
the main: Rochester and the style you want,
no lamp-store is near, send to us for
free illustrated catalogue (and reduced
price-list), and we will box and send you any
lamp safely by express, right to your door.
