The mill was running nearly all last
week and surpassed the most ardent ex-
pectations of all. The lumber was
smooth and evenly sawn. Jas. Hamil-
ton as sawyer did excellent for a begin-
er, Geo. Cornell kept steam up to per-
fection. Just one fault to find and that
is re the blowing of the whistle ; Pay no
attention to it ye farmers and burghers.
Sometimes we think their watches are
wrong ; at other times we come to the
conclusion that if they feel pretty hun-
gry, they blow 10 or 15 minutes before;
if not, any time after, and if they are
not in good humor they forget all about
it.
The Mayor Of Chicago Assassinated.
A thrill of horror was sent arouud the -
world by the news that Carter Harri-
son, Mayor of Chicago, was shot dead
in his own house last Saturday evening
by a crazy2crank. The murder was
committed by a man named Prender-
gast, a paper carrier, who declared that
Mayc,r Harrison had promised to make
him corporation counsel and had not
kept his word. This, he said, was his ,
only reason for committing the crime.
The only person in the houke at the
time beside Mr. Harrison was his son
William Preston Harrison, 25 years of
age, and the servants. Shortly before
8 o'clock the door bell rang, when
Mary Hansen, the domestic, opened the
door, she was confronted by a man
about five feet five inches, smooth -
shaven, his rather clean-cut features lit
up by I pair of dark eyes.
"Is Mr. Harrison in 2" asked the man
in a quiet pleasant voice.
"Yes sir," _responded the girl as she
threw the door wider open to permit
his entrance.
"I would like to see him, please„' said
the man as he walked toward the back
end of the hall. Mr. Harrison was in
the dining -room, which opens into the
rear end of the hall. Hearing the man
ask for him he rose and, stepping into
the hall, walked toward Prendergast,
who by the time he caught sight of Mr.
Harrison had advanced about 10 feet
from the doorway. Without saying a
word, Prendergast drew his revolver
and commenced to fire. He pulled the
trigger but three times, and every bullet
hit the mark. One ball shattered Mr.
Harrison's left hand, another passed
into the right side of -the abdomen,
making a wound that would be mortal in
a few days ; the third bullet entered the
chest, slightly above the heart. This
bullet was the immediate cause of death.
As soon as Prendergast began to fire,
Mr. Harrison turned and walked rapid -
y toward the diningroom. He walked
hrongh the door, across the dining-
oom and passed into a butler's pantry
pening off the room, where, weakened
y loss onloo'cl, he fell to the floor.
Prendergast did not follow up his vic-
im or make any attempt to ascertain
ow deadly his aim rind been. He re
laced his revolver in his pocket with
he same deliberation that had marked
11 of his actions, and started out of the
oor and escaped in the darkness.
Mayor Harrison only lived 20 min-
tes after being shot, his death occur -
g at about 9 p.m.
A crowd quickly collected and had
e assassin been caught he would cer-
inly have been lynched. About an
our after the shooting Prendergast
cly walked into a police station and
ye himself up. It is the general opinion
the city that the man is insane and
his history is now being looked up by
e police it is found that he has for
neral weeks been of unbalanced mind.
On account of the shooting the
orld's Fair closing was turned into a
emorial occasion, the mayor having
n so closely connected, in his offical
pacity, with that institution.
Harrison was 68 years old, closely re-
ed to President Harrison, and has
en mayor of Chicago five times. He
s to have been married to a promia-
t New Orlean's lady on Nov. 14th.

Mr. Stockton's New Pomona.
Frank R. Stockton is to give us his
delightfully interesting "Pomona," the
her3ine of "Rudder Grange," in a series
of twenty letters which he has written
for The Ladiee'Home Journal under the
title of "Pomona's Travel." The quaint
- kirl is taken abroad by Mr. Stockton to
satisfy her hearts longings fer a social
boom and to move sarong the English
aristocracy; and in these letters ad-
dressed to her old "Rudder Grange"
employer, "Eupheinia," she tells her ex-
periences abroad with her husband.
The letters really constitute a serial
story and will run through tile, entire
year of 1804 in the Journal.
