THE PITTSBURGH POST; SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1889 nnnirvADrt nvr TRCCTrirc BIGAMY AND PEB JURY. PENNSYLVANIA INSURANCE CHIEFS OF DIVISIONS. FOR MUTUAL PROTECTION. WOMAN SLAYERS. and quarrelsome.

After striking a man, who had befriended his wife, with a pitcher, he prepared to go to lied. Suddenly he drew a razor, seized his aged wife by the hair, pulled her head backward over his knee and drew the shining blade across her throat, severing the jugular. His children saw the deed and the oldest, Robert, tried in vain to prevent it. James Nolan enticed Emma Bush from ter husband. Afterward he treated her brutally, and she preferred another man.

Finding the two together one night Nolan called tbe woman from the room, and shot her twice, killing her instantly. John Lewis, the colored murderer, had persuaded Alice Jackson to live with him. He was a hard drinker and jealous; so one day when he threatened to kill her she left him and went to work as a domestic at S4 West Third street. He went there shortly afterward, broke in the kitchen and shot her. She lived long enough to identify him.

Lewis was the most buoyant spirit of the four, and did much to lighten the last days of their lives. Sixteen more homicides are awaiting trial in the Tombs prison. One is a woman who killed her husband by striking him with a meat platter. A NOTED DESPERADO, Serious Charges Blade Agxinst a Well Known South Sidar. A unique bigamist is William Smink, of the Sooth Side, according to his own confessions.

Because wife No. 1 became cold in her wedded love, and told him be might marry again or do as he pleased, ha is mated to a pretty girl of prominent family without the intermediate and conventional proceedings in divorce. He is no more than settled in his second matrimonial venture than the lady whose name appears on his first marriage license comes to the front with a couple of war rants and a host of witnesses. Tho over-confiding Mr. Smink is under heavy ball to get out of a bad scrape as best be can.

Abont two weeks ago a little woman with a determined look in her eye sailed into tbe office Of Alderman McGarey, on Carson street, and announced tbat she was Mrs. William Smink, of Beltzhoover, but tbat unfortunately for all parties concerned, there was another Mrs. William Smink in the arena. As luck would have it she had a prior claim to the affections of Mr. Smink, and she proposed to make it nnendurably warm for about two people.

Alderman McGarey went to the Court House, examined tbe marriage license records, and found tbat Mrs. Sin in It's statements were true. Mrs. 'Smink then entered charges of bigamy and perjury aeainst Smink. In tbe information she alle.es that on October 29, 18S6, she and William Smink were married by llev.

L. J. Deckman, pastor of tbe German Baptist Church, South Nineteenth street, who has since died. Their marriage license was numbered 4012, docket 3. Both contract ing parties were then twenty years of age.

Shortly after the marriage they separated. she going to live with her mother. Alderman McGarey discovered further that tbe defendant had taken out another license on July 18, 1889, to marry Maggie Sacber, daughter of Mr. Frederick Sacher, an old resident of tbe Twenty-seventh ward. Tbis license is numbered 1CT6, docket 6.

In it the ago of Mr. Smink is given at twnnty-thrse years and that of Miss Sacher at twenty-two years. Smink is quite well known as a base Dan player. ormerly be was a member of tbe Leader team, and at present is catcher for the "Our Boys," of the South Side. Constable Llntuer arrested him yesterday a terooon.

He was placed under bail Tor a hearing on Wednesday next. When Smink was arrested his second wife, who was present, was so shocked at hearing tbe reading of the warrant that Bhe fainted twice. According to the story of Smink his first marriage was a rather hasty affair. He did not get along well with his wife, and she went to live with her mother. WEATHER AND RIVERS.

"I do wish something would be done to step those boats from whistling," said a prominent river- man recently, after his conversation had been interrupted for exactly five minutes by tbe hoarse screeching of a fog horn that is more commonly known as a steamboat whistle. It is terribly annoying to a peron to have one of thosn infernal contrivances blowing away in his ears.

Viien anybody on tbe river front is talking or using the telephone he must immediately shut down and patiently wait until tbe people on the boats have grown tired. I se the packets do not whistle any in oro than appears to be absolutely necessary. But there are some tow boats around here tbat whistle when it is not at all necessary. Why there are on or two which whiili at every meal time. Just as sure as the hour lor dinner comes around we hear tbat whistle going Now I think tbat ia entirely unnecessary.

Sur-Iy tbe men could get up some kind of an arrange ment so tbat they wou'd know whn to go for their meals. All tbis unnecessary tooting and whistling should be stopped." CAUGHT ON SHOKE. Weather cool and cloudy. The ferryboat Sberrard, of Steubenville. came down from the Iron City docks yesterday.

None of the lower river boats can get into port at present. They are running up to Wheeling and have Ireight and passengers sent down from here. Yesterday afternoon tbe water was just one inch lower tban on Thursday, which made 18 inches on tbe marks. Navigation is practically suspsnded. The water was falling.

Business on the landing yesterday was not very brisk. There was only one packet down at tbe wharf. The Geneva boats are running up tha river from Lock No. 1 at present ou account of the low water. The larger packets cannot run above Wheeling.

The Pittsburgh, Brownsville and Ge neva wharfboat will be moved above Lock No. 1 during the present low water. UPPER BIVEB TELEGRAMS. Oil City River 4 inches and at a stand. Parker River 5 inches and at a stand.

Washington, August 23. President Lyman, of the civil service commission, was to-day questioned by a representative of the Associated Press as to the views of tho commission with respect to the propositian to so amend the Hvil service rules as to remove chiefs of division from the excepted class and place them in the class subject to competitive examination, lie said, in response, that the commission has not recommended to the president such amendment of the rules as suggested, though the commission hofd that filling of places of division chiefs by promotion of subordinates would be in the interest of reform. By the renewal of these places from the excepted class they would, the commission holds, cease to become political praizes, but legitimate prizes to be won by ability iu the lower grades of tho service. AGREE TO WORK. The Coal Miners' Trouble in Illinois Settled at Last.

Stkeator, August 23. At a meeting of coal miners to-day it was decided to rescind the motion passed last Tuesday calling out all miners working under the prices fixed by the Board of Arbitration.

An immense trestle boulevard, extend ing from street to tha Exposition grounds, is the latest rlan by which it is proposed to widen Duquense way and make it a thing of beauty and joy forever. Numerous schemes have been advanced, such as building a retaining wall and filling the intervening space for a park, but they were all objected to because the city would lose thousands of dollars of wharf revenues every year. The present plan will not interfere with legitimate business on the wharf, as the trestles will be high enough to permit of the wharf being utilized as it is now. The proposi tion is to extend the improvement out to the first piers of the Sixth and Seventh strrtt bridges, and as tbe boulevard will be on a level with the street per haps at a higher grade than at present the approaches will appear on the surface as enclosed roadways. As tbe chancel of the Allegheny river is wide enougU to stand a little encroachment.

floats could be attached to the landings for the storage of lumber and other merchandise. The boats could lie in against the structure as they do now on tha gravel-covered wharf, and the latter, as it receded beneath the trestle, could be utilized tor storage purposes and boat offices just as it is now. The city could continue to collect its revenues, and, in fact, would soon increase them on ao count of tha improved condition of the wharf and better accommodations for craft. Between each of the bridges an approach will be consisting of an opening in the boulevard running far enough out toward the river to permit loaded wagons to pass back and forth. Tbe drivers for teams will likely run horizontally dawn the wharf so as to avoid the grade.

The original intention was to bejiu tha improvement of Duquesne way at Sixth street, but it is now thought practicable to run tbe trestle from Ninth street dawn. This would, ot course, be a city improvement, and one in which property holders along the thoroughfare would have no option. Tbe question of risht in such matters was determined iu 1882, when a committee ot city councils, composed of T. J. Bigham, J.

M. Bailey, J. M. Caldwell, W. B.

Negley, A. K. Henderson and T. S. Bigelow reported that ''the right of city councils to the fullest control over all wharves and landings Is established beyond a perad venture," Since four of the committeemen were lawyers of high standing the opinion may be taken without allowance.

Tbe question resolves itself into one of policy on the city's part. Several councilmen aud city officials are seriously considering the project above outlined, and it is said tbe work of drafting an ordinance has been begun. The park idea has baen abandoned, the conclusion being reached that a driveway along tbe river to the Exposition would bscoine a more popular institution. "Mr. McCarthy, the superintendent of city property, has told me I would have to move my office," said Weigbmaster Eustce M.

Sims, who is in charge of the city scales at Duquesne way and Fittb street. ''He said work would begin on the widening and improving of Duquesne war tbis fall. I understand they have been holding back to sea whether tbe exposition is a go or not. The plan ot erect ing trestles, similar to those at the new Baltimore and Ohio Railroad depot will preserve the usefulness of the wharf, and yet hide us ugllneBS. lbe revenues to the city are now irotn fci 0U0 io 7,000 yearly, so that the wharf was too valuable an appendage to cover up entirely with a pleasure ground.

The new plan meets all requirements. HOUSES BY THE HUNCHED. How Mount Washington Will Undergo a Transformation. There is a scheme forming to pat on Mount Washington several hundred houses. At resent the understanding is that they will be commenced in iba near future and finished in the early spring to be ready for occupancy by April 1.

The Bogjs estate owns over $100,000 worth of property in this suburb. A number of houses have already been built within the past year and now there are new houses, to the valuo of $20,000, on the mount. There still remains in Mr. Bogas's possession a great number of unoccupied lots. A syndicate of business men, after negotiating with him lor the purchase of a lare slice of this property, completed arrangements within tbe past lew days.

The intention of the syndicate is to erect small frame bouses on these lots and S'dl them on time. This plan has been practiced more or less lor years, and has resulted in great profits to the builders. The plan is this: When a large number of houses are to be erected a contract price is obtained for all. This price, in the case of tbe bouses about to be erected, will not exc-ed $900. The buyer purchases them, paying in instalments, and exceeding eventually, at the conclusion of his payments, the acualcost of the house by 500.

Tbe profit ou the house added to that on the lot makes the speculation a paying one. When hundreds of such transactions ar made tne scheme is well worth going into, The tendency at first was tor the speculators to buy the property, build a number of bouses and rent them at a fair rate. In tbe case of persons steadily employed this wai a good thing for tbe company, bat the trouble engendered more than counterbalanced the extra profit. Ae a gentleman who has bad experience explained, "The class of people you get into such houses, while quite respectable, is a little uncertain is to the pay. They are usually glass blowers or mill men.

For awhile everything may go on smoothly, that is, as long as the tenant has work. But if a shutdown, lockout or strike occurs, and he is idle tor months at a time, we have great difficulty collecting the rent. Sometimes we lose a half year's rent, and we can't very well put the people out. For that reason the plan of selling tho house is much the best, for we can hold the building if the purchaser fails to at any time. But we have very little trouble with tbe average workman intent on securing a home of his own." An Absconding Postmaster.

Washington, August 23. Chief Postoffice Inspector Kathbone to-day received a telegram announcing tho are rest at Bentonville, of Jonathan B. Cunningham, the absconding postmaster of Cofieesburg, Mo. Eix Million From the Englishmen. Toronto, August 23.

SUCCESSFUL TEST. Trying the Dynamite Guns on the Cruiser Vesuvius The Mechanism. Philadelphia, August 23. A successful trial of the pneumatic gun armament of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius was made yesterday afternoon in the presence of Lieutenants Seaton, Schroeder and William Fallam, of the navy. Tbe trial was made in the Delaware river, near Petty's Island.

Twelve shots were fired in quick succession, although there was no attempt to attain rapidity of tire, sIdoo the vessel was in a tide way and had to be carefully pointed before each shot. The projectiles used were plugs representing the weight of the regulation sbell, which is to contain 20 pounds of high explosive. Tbe weight of these plugs was 500 pounds, and some unsteadiness in flight was due to the fact tbat tbe center of gravity was not placed as it would be in the regulation shells, which are perfectly steady iu flight and which, therefore, attain a much greater ranee. Tbe regulation shells were not used in this trial, as they are far more expensive than ths plugs, which answer all purposes in experiments. The hydraulic mechanism for working the guns was satisfactory.

Since the guns are built on the ship at a fixed elevation, the range of the projectile raust be controlled entirely by compressed air. Powerful pumps are used to compress the air in the storage reservoirs up to a pressure ot 2,000 pounds per square inch, the capacity of tbe reservoirs being sufficient to supply air for at least 20 shots in quick succession. Before each shot a valve is opened admitting air from the storage res-rvoira into the firing reservoirs nntil the pressure is observed to rise about 1,000 pounds per square inch, when the valve is closed. An official tast will be made next Tuesday. If five shots are fired from each gun of the three in 10 minutes, tne projectiles ranging one mile, and if the storage capacity of the reservoir is shown to be sufficient for 15 shots, tbe last provision of tbe contract will be fulfilled, and the Vesuvius will be put in commission as a part of the new navy.

R. Cunningham, the postmaster at Coffeys-burg. who absconded with $8,000 on June 1 last, since which time the detectives have pursued him as f-r west as San Francisco, east to Iiiir and north to Manitoba. Continued From First rage extended forward and drawn back tight again and his fists were clenched and unclenched, while his whole body quivered, his breast heaved and a hissing sound, betokening the slow work of partial strangulation, was heard all over the enclosure Tbe horrible struggles were continued for over five minutes, and then a doctor pronounced him dead. The man's neck was broken and death resulted from shock and asphyxia.

It was six minutes before life was extiuct. For the first four minutes the pulse was hard and fall 80 to 90 beats. It weut to 140 at the end of "five minutes and 150 when six minutes had elapsed, and life was extinct. During Lewis's struggles Hangman Atkinson stood apart, his hands thrust deep into tbe side pockets of his coat, his feetnide apart and with a rather anxious expression upon his face. He does not like to see any struggle at the end of a rope of his rigging, A hangman's tride.

His pride is fully satisfied only when the murderer passes away as quickly and quietly, to use Atkinsons owu expression, "as an angel." Beside Atkinson stood James Van Hi.se, the Newark hangman. Van llise had been brought to assist Atkinson in the event of his neudiue help, but he bad noth.ng whatever to do. He surveyed the execution with a mechanical eye, and seemed to take much interest in it. It is said there is much professional jealousy between Atkinson and Van Hise, and tbat this is so was demonstrated when Atkinson remarked to one of the deputies: "Van Hise came over from Jersey to help in this banging. He said that the sca'J'old was no good.

He knew I built it, and he said it was no good. I wonder what bo thinks now of tbe way it did its work. I can give Van Hise points In this business every time." Van Hise beard these remarks and smiled grimly as though be was well aware that it was merely professional jealousy which prompted their utter-auce. TUB DESPERATE RELIC FIEND. One curious incident which took place after the hanging of Carolin should not bo passed without mention.

He had no sooner been pronounced dead when a man darted from a knot of spectators quickly, picked up Carolin's still warm cigar butt and pocketed it. He will probably prize it as a valued memento of the occasion. The man who did tnis was one of the special deputies. At 7:30 o'clock the undertakers' assisstauts brought a cheap veneered walnut coffin in and placed it under Lewis's motionless body. Atkinson quickly lowered the corpse into the coffin and removed the noose and cap.

He carelessly thrust the cap iuto one of his si Je1 pockets, with the ribbons fluttering outside, looked critically at Lewis's face, nodded bis head as though he was satisfied with its appearance, and sauntered away. The negro's face looked -natural and peaceful and did not show evidence of a painful death. CAROLIN'S FACE. When the Cap Was Removed Spectators Were Startled The Hangmen Sneak Away Giblin Did Not Hear the Execution. At 7:40 o'clock a leaden, casket was brought and placed under Carolin's body.

Atkinson bustled up to the place again, lowered the wife murderer's body in a jilly and removed the noose and cap. The sight which met he gaze of tbe on-lookers was startling. Carolin's face was of a bickly, yellowish hue. His mouth was open and bis lips were a bluish white. About his neck was a dark purple ring with the marks of the strands in the rope.

His eyes were wide open and popping from their sockets, and in spite of the distorted features there was a look of terror plainly marked on his face. It was a horrible sight, this countenance of the murderer who had died with a curse and a lio upon bis lips. Tbe hangman and his assistants were not vell favored, and they seemed to feel their positions keenly, for they sneaked around the back of the jail and got out of sight as quickly as they could. THE RETRIEVED MtTUDEREU. "What were Giblin'a feelings this morning? Did he bear the drop fall? Will be be hanged finally?" These questions filled the thoughts of many this morning.

Giblin is the man who was sentenced to be banged with the other lour, but was respited at almost the last minute by Governor Hill. No; Giblin did not hear tbe drop fall. Tbe warden bad placed him iu the part of the murderers' cells where nothing could be heard. Giblin did not know tbis, and alter passing a night of torture he was up at 4 tbis morning with bis head pushed to the iron grating of bis cell, waiting for tbe footsteps of the condemned men on the way to mass. He heard nothing, though, aud was iu a listening attitude for a long time wben a keeper broke bis watchlulness by saying: "It's all over, Giblin.

The men are hanged." giblin was CTJRIorS. "now did they take it?" he quickly inquired. "All right enough," responded the keeper. "Poor fellows," sighed Giblin. Speaking of himself subsequently, he said to a reporter: "I don't feel as if I am going to be hanged.

I don't deserve it. If I had been hanged this morning it would have killed my wife, too. I have a mother who iu Ireland, and she does not know that I am condemned to die. I thank heaven for that." THE FOUR CRIMES. Four Defenseless Women Were Sacrificed to the Bru'al Ir.stincts of the Men Who Yesterday Faid the Penalty Considered Insane.

Carolin murdered Bridget Quinu, who passed as bis wife, March 16, 13S8. Both had been drinking, and he threatened to abandon her and return to his mother in Germany. The woman answered angrily, and Carolin picked up a shining hatchet, with which he hacked her to death. The prisoner was considered insane by all his prison attendants and many others. Still experts at his trial declared him sane.

Sax Antonio, August 23. McCoy, the noted desperado of South -western Texas, was hanged here at 1 1 :30 to-day for the murder of Sherlrf McKinuey, on December 26, 1886. McCoy was notorious for 15 years. Nobody but himself knows how many men be has murdered. He has successfully combatted five murder trials.

Four years ago be lost his rizht leg from wound received in a street fight at Co-tulla. He was one of the most daring aud heartless members of the Alita gang, a combination of the worst outlaws which ever infested tbat part of Texas. Captain McKinney thinned their ranks until Jim McCoy and Bud Crenshaw were about the only members lelt. Fearing McKinney, they decoyed hira on the day after Christmas in 1888 to Towhig station, a few miles from Co-tulla, the county seat, saying a rape had been committed there and the sherifi's presence was needed, McKinney, accompanied by a deputy named Edwards, on arrival at Twohig, was met by Crenshaw and McCoy. While inquiring the direction Crenshaw pushed the muzzle of a Winchester under McKinney's chin and fired, the ball penetratiug tbe victim's head.

The sheriff fell to the ground dead. Meanwhile McCoy, standing close to Edwards, fired at him, wounding the deputy in the shoulder. Edwards's horse, however, frighted by the shooting, dashed otherwise its rider would undoubtedly have shared the fate of his superior, Crenshaw and McCoy made their escape, the lormer being killed by State rangers shortly afterward while resisting arrest. McCoy beat around in the brush for a few weeks, and, becoming sick and starved, gave himself up at Cotulla. It is a singular coincidence that the last criminal hanged in San Antonio, Charles Wood, a negro, whose neck was broken July 21, 1882, for criminally assaulting a German girl, was oua-legged, too.

Father Maloney, who baptized the prisoner yesterday, stayed with him tn his last hours. At 11:40, with his crutches, he ascended the gallows. He appeared not more concerned about what was going on than any of the spectators. Twisting his mustache and addressing himself to the sheriS, he once mora da clared his innocence of tho murder. Father Maloney prayed with him whilst his hands and feet were pinioned and the black cap adjusted.

At 11:50 precisely, with a good-bye to ail, his last words, the drop fell, and with a drop of six feet, the murderer was swung into ths air, his only foot nearly touching the ground. AHer 16 minutes of hard breathing he was pronounced dead by the attending physic ian, and the body taken down to be given over to his Iriends, A MONTANA EXECUTION. Henry Roberts Hanged frr ths Murder of His Teamster. Butte, August 23. Harry Robert was banged to-day for the murder of J.

W. Crawford. The drop fell at 1:12, and Roberts's neck was broken by the fall.

Roberts did not -weaken to the last, and died as he bad lived a cool and determined man.

Roberta's crime was the unprovoked killing of Crawford, on May 14 last. Crawford was a teamster under Roberts, and they had a quarrel aud Roberts shot him while drinkiug. BARNUM'S CIRCUS WRECKED. Thirty-Three Ring Horses Kil ed Som: Exctng Scenes. Watertown, N.

The elephants escsped, but made things lively afterward. The pretty white mule is dead. There are about 80 head of live stock stabled and pastured near the scene of the wreck. These were taken from the derailed cars. Eleven men were taken out of one of the cars through tbe roof, there being no other way of egress.

The night was very dark, and this made the work of rescue much more difficult. Bonfires were built at safe distance from the wreck, and they shed some light over the ghastly scene. Tbe Arabs were much terrified at first, but when they found that none of their partv were in jured they worked bravely in rescuing others, btock cars have bsen brought here to convey the animals to Montreal, and all the details have been arranged for transporting the remainder of the show as soon as the track is cleared. Prof. Oldriere, the water walker, narrowly escaped being drowned, while giving exhibition at Kaatasket Beach, near Bostoo.
