MRS. HARRISON’S PICTURE ONE PASSENGER IS KILLED Others Were Rescued by De-scendlng Ropes to a Tug. Knoxville,Tenn., Feb.19.—One man was killed and seven persons narrowly esoaped a like fate in a disaster here yesteidiy afternoon. Jor several months a company has had in operation a cable car line across the Tennessee river to Long-street Spriigs, and it has been ex-tensively patronized. A large erowd was present yesterday after-noon. At 3:30 a car started on one of the trips, having eight passen-gers. When the car was six feet from the landing point on the bluff, suddenly and without warning the drawing cable broke, the brakes on the car failed to work, and the oar dashed down the incline at a terrific rate of speed. Suddenly the broken cable wrap-ped around the car, crushing it as if it had been an egg shell, One end struck Oliver Ledgewood, a prominent young attorney of this eity, killing him instantly. The passengers were terror stricken in their perilous position, two hundred feet above the river, which is seventy feet deep at that point. When the cable fell a child was struck by it and fatally injured. The news spread with great rapidity, and a tug was hastily sent down the river and anchored under the wrecked car. Then ropes were gent down from the car to the tug and orie by one the frightened occu-pants of the car climbed down to the tug. All made the descent in safety. The cable had been cut by a cold-chisel in the hands of some unknown culprit. Important Anarchist Trial. Vienna, Feb. 19 —[Copyrighted 1894 by the Associated Press ]— The trial of the twelve Anarchists arrested in September last, charged with conspiracy against the life of Emperor Francis Joseph, began today. The court ruled that the trial should take place in secret. The proceedings promise to be memorable in this oountry in the history of anarchy, as the case is one of the most sensational and romantic on record. It is a matter of regret that this important trial is to be coaduoted behind closed doors as revelations of a remarkable kind are expected. Arrangements, how-ever, have been made by the Asso-ciated Press which, it is expected, will enable it to furnish from day to day the most important facts. Killed Their Companions. Morgantown, N. C-jFeb. 19.— The body of William Cansby, one of the best known young men in town, was found yesterday five miles from here with the throat cut and the head mashed in. Among the witnesses at the coroner’s in-quest was Philip Williams, who stands high in the estimation of the community. Williams had bten with Cansby early in the evening and was put on the stand to tell of their parting. When his eyes rested on the horribly mutilated face of his dead friend he sat trans-fixed for a few minutes, then broke down and confessed that he,had killed Cansby. The scene was a dramatic one. Cansby and Sylvanus Morrow, while drank, had a falling out, quarreled and fought and Williams and Morrow killed their friend. To Have a Place on the Walls of the White House. Washington, D. C., Fab. 19 — To the interesting portraits which hang on the walls of the rooms of state in the White House will be added this week a fine picture of Mrs. President Harrison. The donors are members of the Patriotic Order of Daughters of the American Revolution, who will meet here for their third annual congress the last three days of the week, assembling on Washington’s birthday. Most of the former mistresses of the White House have received official recognition from the govern-ment by permission given that their portraits should ba hung in the executive mansion. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union pre-sented some years ago a painting of Mrs. Hayes, one or the most dis-tingaished exemplars of its prinoi, pies. Mis. Harrison was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, holding its highest office and presiding over its delibera-tions while she was in the Whte House. President Cleveland has written the society, signifying his willingness to accept the portrait. It was painted by Huntington of New York,is 5x7 feet and is regard-ded by the critics as an exceptional-lv fiue work. It represents Mrs. Harrison at the age of thirty years,at-tired in a brocaded gown of cerulean blue; with a train held in her left hand. The congress of the society will be called to order Thursday, Feb-ruary 22, by President-General Mrs. Vice-President Stevenson, who will deliver an address of welcome. The response will be made by Mrs. James Beck, state regent for Wisconsin. The pioture of Mrs.Vice-President Harrison will be unveiled with appropriate cere-monies, including music by the Na tional Marine band and singing of Rosa Wright Smith; historian general Mrs. Henry Blount;chaplain general, Mrs. E. T. Bullock; surgeon general, Mrs. Mary Desha. McKane Sentenced. Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 19.— “How long will he get?” was the question whioh one heard every-where in Brooklyn this morning. On the elevated railroads, on the street cars and on the sidewalks, wherever two men could be seen together, it is safe to say they were talking about the McKane case. At the court house crowds of anxious men besieged the doors of the court room, and the policemen had a herculean task in keeping them from breaking down the doors in their anxiety to get in to secure good positions from which they could hear and see everything which took place. At 10:20, when Judge Bartlett took his seat on the bench, the corridors were rendered almost impassable and the crowd swarm-ed on the stairs, in the hall-ways and out into the street. Judge Bartlett denied motion for anew trial and also an arrest of judgment. He then pioceeded to pass sentence and said: “I do not feel inclined to disre-gard the recommendation of mercy made by the jury. The crime for which the defendant stands convict ed was a serious one. That great dime seems to be one that demands an emphatic sentence. The penal-ty should be so severe as to express due consideration, while not so severe as to exact sympathy. The sentence of the court is that the de- Boom Hotel for Sale. Barboursville, Ky., Feb. 19 — A million dollar hotel at Middles-borough, Ky., constructed there a few years since in the palmy days of the “Magic City,” is advertised by the receiver for sale on March 13. The Cotton Markets. New Orleans, Feb. 19.—Glenny & Co. say: Liverpool closed 1-64 lower than Saturday’s close, with sales of spot 8000 bales; middling, 4Jd. New York opened 3 points lower, deolined, and at 1 p. m. was 6 points lower than Saturday’s close. Again Liverpool was disappoint-ing, and instead of advancing in response to the American markets of Saturday, prices there marked decline of 164, and private cables reported a decline in futures due to weakness of spots. In consequence our market opened 2 to 5 points lower, and gradually declined until noon, when prices were 6 points lower than Saturday’s close. Re-ceipts here tomorrow are estimated at 5500, possibly 7000 bales. The American Woman. Calve, the famous prima donna, although sh e calls herself ‘ ‘Madame, ” is not married. “I have been too busy to marry,” she says. “In Europe, a woman is called ‘madame’ when she ceases to look like a girl. That is why I prefer to be called Madame Calve.” The prima donna dislikes very much the English title for unmarried women. “ ‘Yes, miss,’ for instance; is there any ex-pression less pleasing to the ear? In Franoe we say, ‘Yes, madame,’ with the first syllable slightly accented, and if the voice is sweet the ear is charmed.” Calve eon-aiders the English woman the most accomplished in the world of society; the American lady comes next. In none of the countries of continental Europe will you meet as many ladies who speak two languages as in England or the United States. Of all womankind, none are so hap-pily situated as the Americans. Their wealth, personal liberty and individuality are astonishing. When a European lady wishes to go on a visit or make a purchase, the matter is talked over with the family; here she is free to do as she likes. She buys what pleases her and goes and does as she likes. To know the American woman is to want to do as she does, to be as she is. S.
