HARRISON : HANGED. ; He Pays the - Penalty of a Heinous Crime on the Scaffold. LOVE WAS THE MOTIVE OF IT. Thonsb Only 21 Years Old He Courted a Girl and When She Refused Him lis Shot Her eadV Tryinst at the Same Time to Commit Suielde Which Wu Prevented hy a Fro-pose- d Lynching-- Bee. ' HcNTiNGTOJf, Va., Nov. 22. Allen Harri-son, aged'21, was hanged here this after-noon for the murder of his sweetheart, Bet-ti- e Adams, the daughter of a well-to-d- o farmer, last April. The execution took place in a field two miles from jail. Ten-thousan-people witnessed the hanging. He . murdered the girl because she repelled hia advances. He took a dose of laudanum with suicidal intent, and then went to the girl's house and killed her with a revolver. The drug ' failed to kill him. Shortly before the hanging he made the statement that he had no recollection of the murder, and supposed that if he did it it was while under the influence of mor-phine. The crime for which Allen Harrison waa executed was committed in April, 1892. He was 21 years old, of peculiar habits and stronsr likes and dislikes. He became enam- - ored of pretty Hetty Adams, 17 years old, the daughter of Frank Adams, a prosperous farmer living at Ona, in this county, and when ahe repelled his advances, he de-termined he would kill her and then com-mit suicide. " He purchased a box of lauda-num and a revolver, swallowed the drug at Lis home and then went direct to the home of the girl. He found her at the kitchen etoe building a fire. - Stealing up close, he fired a bullet into her heart, killing her instantly. He then slipped away quietly arid went home to die; but the drug had weaked by age, and when the excited neighbors dragged him from his home, he was soon brought out of his stupor into which he had fallen and placed under arrest for murder. The affair created great excitement and a lynching bee was narrowly averted. The last term of the circut court tried and convicted Harri-son of murder in the first degree, and Judge Harvey sentenced him to be hanged. BUSINESS AFFAIRS. Further Facts Concerniuff the New Fire Houses. BUILDING PERMITS ISSUED. The Utah A Montana Machinery Com-pany's Sew Warehouse A Sew Laundry Enterprise Change iu the Utah Undertaking Company-Toda- y's Clearings General Busi-ness Briefs. Property owners ia the northeastern part of the city are greatly pleased oyer the expression of their views which appeared in last evening's Times, wi'h regard to the location of the fire house, which the city council has decldsd shall be established somewhere in that district. Just where the site will be, no one at present knows, but if It is put where it wiU effect the greatest protection to the largest amount of proper-ty, and the wishes of the property owners are considered, it will go as far east, at least, as M street, and somewhere near Fourth. With such a location, the fire house would command the most valuable residences in the district and the engine would have a down hill run each way. If the house should go on H street it would afford but little protection, as there would be a stiff up hill grade both north and east, and about as good service could be obtained from the central fire station. The question is one which should be decided solely upon its merits, and the desire to afford the greatest protection pos-sible should be the only motive. A Business Change. J. C. Ross, for a very long time the gen-eral manager of the Utah Undertaking com-pany, which has several branch establish-ments, retired from that position today and is succeeded by C. C. Nepple, who has a high reputation throughout the west as a scien-tific embalmer. Mr. Ross will devote his at-tention to the Western Bill Posting company, of which he is treasurer. A New Enterprise.

HIS NAME IS S But He Is a Chump Eighteen Fine. - j A SHEEP HERDER'S ) Robbed and Almost Slurdered Weeks Ago, He Returns to t Only to Again Fall Into the HaS. of the Philistines Xow He vit Playing Checkers With His Xose on the Bars of a Cell. Charles Smith is the name of a stalwart Maori who now occupies a cell in the city jail simply because he was so foolish yester-day as to acquire a jag and the friendship of two men whom he now has every reason to believe relieved him of about $180, the re-- suit of hard labor as a sheep herder on Frej Tf rry's ranch near Draper. When queu tioned today by Prosecuting Attorney Eica-- l nor, the chump was still in a dazed condi- - tion. He remembered that he drew $180. from the Deseret bank yesterday, drank heavily, fell in with two men, and finally wound up his lively carouse by being put to bed in a room above Reilly's saloon, at th corner of State and First South stre'8' where he remained until his coppers gotNl!? hot that he was compelled to crawl out in search of a drink. On his return to the saloon the barkeeper handed him hia watch, ring and pin, but no money. He then, according to his story, again visited t--i bank and obtained $40 from his emploj and finding his friends, soon disburse3svA among: the saloon-keeper- s of Commerci street This morning, at 2 o'clock, the police p the finishiug touches to the carousal by mL, resting B. T. Martin and Charles Smith for attempting to rob him, and half an hour later he was landed behind the bars as a witness. According to his own story Smith is a jay of the first water, and a dime museum should be his future abiding place. It ap- - pears that three weeks ago he came to this city on a good time bent, and in his jeans there jingled $100. With this as his stock in trade he took the trail leading to the jungles wherein the razzle-dazzl- e elephant Is wont to play and soon found a h&Ten In an Italian saloon, which he now believes is known to unsavory fame as the I X L. Once there he plied himself with liquor until life had neither joys nor cares for him snd the inevitable robbery followed. Resisting his despoilers, he was cut on the cheek and stabbed in the left groin and then, in a semi-conscio- condi-- i tion, dragged through a rear door of the saloon and dumped into an alleyway where he remained he knows not how long. He managed to reach his room, wb-jr- he lay two days nursing his wounds and then, with-out notifying the police of his adventure, re-turned to the ranch and there sought solace in its sylvan solitude. Smith, although an unfortunate and badly treated man, is deserving of little or no sym-pathy, for he acknowledged today that one of his companions in his last carousal was a penitentiary bird, and that although they aided him in the spendinar of his seco' ' stalmest-of-wealt- h he had at tbe' e" rease o bryr'? ? ot the sitoO he in morning. The case will be judicially examined into this afternoon, hut the authorities despair of securing a conviction. Standfast and Martin had an examination in the police court this afternoon, but the evidence against them was so flimsy, that Prosecuting Attorney Eichnor suggested that they be discharged. 8o ordered.

Beernart, the Belgian prime minister, amfqlste'r of fmantefwJio, 6pTES4&-r- x his inau gural address' that the conference had been called to discuss one of the gravest and most complex problems modern society ever had to face. He extended, in the name of the Belgian government, the most cordial wel-come to the delegates. After referring to the monetary crises during the psst century, Buernart said it was in the direction of an international understanding that a solution of the monetary question is now sought. This, he added, was In accordance with the law of progress, numerous such understandings have already been arrived at for the regulation of common interests in the civilized world in regard to teiepraphs, railways, weights, measures, and why should not the same course be followed in the case of money? It was fitting that the deliberations of the conference should take place on the soil of the country belonging to the Latin union, but it was lor the delegates of the United States to put forward the views of thetr government, and to explain how it was proposed to put these view3 into effecL Beernart advised the delegates to enter the discussion without being too greatly im-pressed by the prospect of massing silver for which there appeared to be no employment.

He referred to numerous at-tempts ninds in the monetary question, men-tioning specially the British gold and silver commission of 1880 a distinguished above all other similar bodies by its emi-nently practical character. Tho worst fea-ture of the present monetary situation was its instability. He hoped the conference would sink Individual interests and keep in view the hieher interest of the great human family. HOW. E. TERRELL, United States minister to Belgium, replied in a fow formal words on behalf of the American delegates. The conference then adjourned until Friday. COMRADE LAMBERT.

His regiment composed a part of the "Coast Brigade" operating on the right of Griicral Sherman, in his march across tue Carolinas. The coast brisade, marching on the line of railroad from Savannah to Charleston, S.

THE NEXT CABINET WAS THERE At n Dinner GiTen - to Mr. Cleveland by Henry Villard. New York, Nov. 22. Henry Villard and thirty-nin- e friends sat down to a magnificent dinner in the banquet room at Sherry's, Fifth avenue and Thirty-sevent- h street, last Thursday night. The dinner was given by Mr. Villard to President-elec- t Grover Cleve-land. Git was a distinctly a Democratic dinner, as far as the politics of the guests were con-cerned, but otherwise its exclusiveness was almost plutocratic. The first llhing Mr. Villard did was to cajl upon Mr. Sherry and caution him against saying a word about the dinner to newspaper --men and the last thing Mr. Villard did before sitting down at the head of the table was to send for Mr. Sherry and reniw the caution made earlier in the day. For this reason some interesting political news is lost to the public, for the time being at least Nearly all the big guns of the Democratic party of the nation were there. Many of the guests were members of the Democratic national committee. It is not an exaggeration to say that all the men who sit in Mr, Cleveland's cabinet were there. William C. Whitne;-- , Daniel Scott La-mo- Don M. Dickinsc i. William F. Har-rit- Calvin S. Brice, Bradley Smalley, of Vermont land Roswell P. Flower were a few of l,hoewo satJov.'a with Mr, "VIJ"'''rtla 'rrclevelititrls. 's- -- Down in the Hoffman house the local politicians talk a good deal about the din-ner and its possible significance. They all had a reason for the dinner, and the con-sensus of opinion was that Mr. Villard has his eye upon a place in Mr. Cleveland's cab-inet, designated as the secretaryship of the interior. e-- .,, LATE CITY NEWS.

The first of a series ot trials of the commercial and railway mag. nates for the violation of the clause of the inter-stat- e commerce law began in the United States court here this morning. The defendant is Thomas Miller and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad on which the alleged dis-crimination was practiced is made - co-r- e. spondent. The charge is that during tho summer of 1890 the defendant gave A. H. Warren fe Co. and Wvight & Hoy, Nebraska, shippers, reduced rates on corn from Addi-son, Ashland and Red Cloud to Chicago. -- The first witness, T. A. Wright, of Wright & Hoy. As soon as a vital question was struck tho trial- - hit a snag. The court instructed the witness that he need not answer any ques-tion which would tend to incriminate him-- , self. This practically barred all valuable infor ma tion from the witness, as it did from Ho; and other witnesses who followed. So tha district attorney gave up the fight and the court ordered the jury to bring in a verdick. of acquittal. The district attorney then dismissed the cases against the other defendants, except Spriggs, and that was continued. ORDINANCE ' REVISION- - Tho Tax en Male Dec: Is Reduced to $2 Other Chasgti.

Sax Diego, Nov. 22. The widowed Sen-or- a Isabel Ruiz de Maytorena is dying here, in her 67th year, without having settled her claim to the Ensenada grant of 122,000 acres In Lower California, which she claims by inheritance from her father, Colonel Don Manuel Ruiz, an officer of the Mexican cavulry service, who was given the grant as a reward for distinguished services. The suit against her only daughter, Mrs. Mary A. Burton, of this city, to restore the patent to this tract, which she claims was secured by fraud, is now pending. Shortly after the papers were filed to recover the pa-tent, Mrs. Burton left for Mexico City, wheie she now is. The invalid has requested the last sacra-ments, and although gradually failing, the wrong done her by her own daughter. It is presumed that her will transmits this claim to her son Frederico, who is with her, and that this celebrated case will continue to be heard from. PERSONAL. L. W. Williams is up from Coalville.

Tha Comet Will Coma Near the Earth Next Monday, bnt It Will Kst Strike It. New York, Nov. 22. Professor Jacoby is not prepared to say that the comet now visi-ble is identical with that discovered by Biela, the 'Austrian officer, over sixty years ago, although Professor Lewis Boss of the Dudley observatory and Professor Pickering of Har-vard college observatory believe it is. There is some difference of opinion about their or-bits being identical. Biela' s comet has not been recognized since 1853, but the recur-rence of its period leads to the belief that it is identical with that now visible to the naked eye in the constellation Andro-meda. According to Prof. Holmes, who first saw the present comet, as well as Prof. Boss, it is likely to make a very close approach to the earth on tho morning of November 28. In 1832, when Biela's comet was seen for the second ttme, it was calculated that a colllslonjbetween It and this sphere could not be averted, and much anxiety was caused in consequence, but the comet passed the point of intersection of its orbit and that of the earth fonr weeks before the latter, and the nearest that these two bodies were to each other at any time was 15,000,000 miles. There is no probability that the comet and the earth will come within appreciable dis-tance of each other now, even if it should turn out to be Biela's, for, according to Prof. Boss, the earth will this time beat the comet at the crossing of their respective orbits by eight hours. The comet is now double the size it was ten days ago, and occupies more than twice the amount of space in arc. The disbelief of some astronomers that this is Biela's comet it based upon the supposed destruction of the same in 1886. In Novem-ber of that year there was a wonderful me-teoric shower, and it was concluded that Biela's comet was no more. Death of Mrs. Ray bo aid.

His Plana for Discovering; tho North Pol Ixtnjc Entertalne.d Philabelphia, Nov. 22. When Lieuten-ant Peary returned to St Johns, Newfound-land, after his recent successful journey to tue most nonnern point yet reacne a Dy man on the east coast of Greenland, ho was over-heard by the steward of the Kite, the vessel which had carried him to Greenland and which brought him back thence, to ask the owner of the ship upon what terms he could engage her for next summer. He also made special investigation into her carrying ca-- ! pacity, and when they arrived in thia eity her crew gave out freely their opinion that Lieutenant Peary contrmplated another voy-age to the Arctic seas. About two weeks ago he submitted in writing to General Wister, president of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadel-phia, and to 'the other officers of the insti-tution, the following proposition: If the academy would obtain from the secretary of the navy a tjiree years' leave of absence for Lieutenant Peary, to be employed in an effort to discover the north pole, the acad-emy should have tha credit of starting the enterprise. No money nor supplies nor men to fit out expeditions were to be demanded of the academy; nothing but the weight of the name of the institution. Peary would do all himself. Nothing definite is known about the de-tails of Lieutenant Peary's plans for reach-ing the pole, but it ia probably that he will go by the way of Greenland, and make a journey with sledges across the frozen sea north of that island. -- -. A RUSH FOR LAND. People Stand Two Days In Lino to Make Kntrics and Then Lou Tholr Places. Marquette, Mich., Nov. 22.

TO WNSITE ENTRIES. Neither Women, Nor Aliens, Nor Minors Ara Barred from Slaking Them. Guthrie, O. T., Nov. 22. The govern-ment townsite board rendered a decision which will be of the greatest importance when more government lands are thravn open to settlement in Oklahoma. It has been held that minor or married women could not take up land. The board holds that this is true in the case of homesteads, bnt there is no provision in the townsita laws to prevent any one from taking up ati.i. securing title to town property, providing ' they occupy it and make the requisite im-provements, and neither minors, married women nor aliens are barred. - "- THE FiRE HOUSES.

Just one week ago, as Jack and his chief, who is known as Stuttering Johnny, were bowling along at a lively rate in the cab of an engine of the Great Salt Lake & Hot Springs rail-road, their progress was somewhat impeded by a gate to a cattle guard near the Union Stock yards, which had been carelessly closed by someone and tbe result was a smash-up- , in which Graham received in-juries which confined him to his bed for six days and Stuttering Johnny bruises which will remind him forcibly for many days to come of his narrow escape. A NEW CAR SEAL. A. Device by Which Thousands of Dollars Will Da Saved. A Denver man has invented a car seal which U pronounced by railroad officials to b a good thing, and a device that, when adopted by the railroads, as it surely will be, will save them thousauds of dollars. The seal Is in the form of a plith lock that shows a combination of four figures. ' When the bolt is drawn either way tha combination is changed so that if a car is opened and goods stolsn the division or road responsible for the loss is known by the reports of. the com-bination sent in with the receipts for tho cars. The lead seals now la use can be tam-pered with, and the theft of goods not dis-covered till the car is delivered. Not only this, but the combination seal is permanent, and can be like a lock, kept continually on the car, so that the care once equipped', the cost of seals is practically done away with. This Is a big item, as im of the roads pay as high as $37,000 per year for the lend seals used. 4 a TOLD IN BRIEF. News of the Morning- Boilod Down for Evan in a; Raaders.

Sunday morning thnnt 10 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. S. Larson. who reside some three miles southwest of this place, were burning brush in the rear of their dwelling. Mr. Larson had occasion to go to the well, which is several rods in front of the house and down a ravine. While at tbe well he heard Mrs. Larson scream, and, hurrying to where she was, found her in the fire. It seems that Mrs. Larson's dress had got on fire, and, becoming frightened, she had fainted and fallen backward into the burning brush. Larson pulled her out, tore her burning clothes from her body, and in so doing burned his own hands to a crisp. He then got his wife into the house and ran all the way to town for medical assistance. The doctor who responded to the call says that the woman cannot possibly live, as she was deeply burned from her head to her feet The family is an unfortunate one. A short time ago, while coming to town in a cart, the horse ran away, throwing the occupants ont and nearly killing Mr. and Mrs. Larson, they being confined to the bed for weeks afterward i s THE U- - B.

Munich, Nov. 22. Duke Ernest Ludwig of Bavaria, having overcome the opposition of his family, waa roarr'e 1 morganatically to the object of his selections, the Fraulein Antonio Berth. It being an impossible thing for a real duke to marry a lady with-out any title whatever, the only thing to be done was to give her one. The very serious obstacle was removed by creating a title for her and she was married under the of Friefian von Bartolf. After the ceremony the bride and bride-groom started for Kufstein in the Tyrol, thence they leave for a prolonged tour in Italy.
