HanDon, five times mayor of Chi cago, and one of the best known men in the west, lies dead at, his home. 231 Ashland boulevard. Three bullets entered his body, two making wounds sufficient, to cause death. The murder was committed by Eugene Patrick Prendergast, a paper carrier,;.who had declared that Mayor Harrison had promised to make him corpor alion counsel and had not kept, his word. This, he said, w„as his only reason for committing the crime. The story of the murder is as follows: Shortly before 8 o’clock, while the ma}7or was yet, in the dining room, the door »bell rang and when Mary Hansom, a domestic, opened the door, site was confronted hy a man about 5 feet 5 inches high, smooth shaven and with clean-cut features, lit up by a pair of dark eyes. - . ‘‘Is Mr. Harrison-in?3’ -askedHhe man in a quiet pleasant voice. uYes, sir,” responded l lie girl, as she threw open the door to ad mit, his entrance. “ I would like to see him please,” said the man, as he walked toward the back end of the hall. Hearing a man ask him the mayor stepped into the hall and walked toward Prendergast, who. without saying a word, drew a re volver and commenced firing. He pulled the (rigger but three limes, and every bullet hit the mark. One bullet shattered Harrison’s left hand, another passed into the lower right side of the abdomen, making a wound that would have' been mortal within a few days. The third bullet entered the chest, slightly above the heart. This wound was the immediate cause death. As soon as Prenclergas! began to fire, Harrison turned and walked rapidly toward the dining room. He passed through the room into the butler’s pantry, where, weakening by (the loss of blood, he tell to the floor. “ I have got my my death,” re sponded the mayor. “ I'm shot in the heart and am a dead man.” A moment later Harrison said, with a voice rapidly! losing strength: ‘‘Unbutton my vest, there’s where the trouble is.” By this time the stricken man had been borne to a couch in an adjoining room. The front of the shirt was soaked in blood, which welled rapidly from the wound. ‘‘It’s through the heart,” said (he mayor again, 1 is voice scarcely above a whisper. A moment later he sank into unconsciousness and 20 minutes after receiving the wound Mr. Harrison was dead. In the excitement that, followed, Prendergast walked away unob served. The news of the murder had reached the authorities and th-\' police were out in quest of the murderer but could not discover him. Meanwhile Prendergast had taken a street, car, and 25 minutes after the shooting gave himself up to Sergeant McDonald at Ihe Des plains street police station. Prendergast Indicted. C hicago , Oct. 30. —Prendergast was indicted by the grand jury to da^7 for murder.

This evening was to be one’of daz zling brilliancy, but the awful un timely death of Mayor Harrison changed all that. The day opened with beautiful weather, but a pall hung over the great exposition, and its myriad flags floated at iia-f staff. Instead of the scene of dazzeling splendor that was to have crowned a day of brilliancy in speech and song,only the necessary lights burned to night, and the White city was shrouded in darkness at an earlier hour since its opening. So, with the tragic‘death of Mayor Harri son, the life and gayety of the ex position went out forever. Instead of the festival of oratory and music which was to have filled in the af ternoon, memorial survices were held in festival hall, at which tri butes were paid to the memory of Chicago’s most characteris ic Chi cagoan by the World’s lair officials, national and local, and by the representatives of assembled na tions. Last Under the Law. W a s h in g to n , Nov. 1.—The last offerings of silver to the treasury department under the ¡Sherman law were made to day, when 84,- 000 ounce were offered at 70 cents per ounce. All were declined and a counter offer of .6725 per ounce made. Mr. Cleveland’« Object Lesson. On the 11t h of March last, after Mr. Cleveland had become com fortably seated in the presidential chair, with his feet resting on the arm of the same, he said to Frank lin Alter of Cincinnati: “ This country is going to have the hardest times during the next six months it has experienced in many years. Money will be close, and it will be withdrawn from banks and hoarded up in such a way as to create great distress. I expect to see many banks fail. There will be many factories and shops closed and there will be thousands of men who will go into bankruptcy. I shall be sorry to see individuals suffer, but I don’t intend to raise my hand to preyent it. What this country needs and must have is an object lesson. We must have hard times and busi ness failures and bankruptcy and and a certain amount of distress before congress will realize its duty and perform it. I propose to give the country an object les son.” What do unemployed honest democratic workingmen think of this? Imagine a president deliber ately adding to the distress of the men who elected him!
