IS’U NOTE BROKER OF BOSTON.
Portions of the Dead Dynamiter's
Clothing Identified by the Wife of
the Hissing Broker os Belonging to
Her Husband—Tfce Tailor Who Made
the Cltohes Also Identlfles Them.
Boston, Mass., Dec. 11.—The Globe says
that Henry L. Norcr-ss of Sargent avenue,
Somerville, a note broker, doing businw* at
No. 12 Pearl street, Hoe ton, has not
seen at his office since the middle t
last week, and other occupants of
his Somerville residence say that
he was killed in a railroad accident
about that time. Now V rk detectives
were in town trying to ideutlfy tiie rnH'lng
man as tlie mysterious bomb thrower in
Kussell Sage's ofllce last H'.-ida. Tlode
ter tires brought with tneui a trmsera but
ton and portion of the trousers worn by f.e
bomb thrower, as well as a piece of his coat
and portions of his underclothuig.
IDENTIFIED BY THS WIFE.
According to the Globe these were taken
to Mr Norcross’ residence this aftern>>n
and the under< lothmg positively identified
bv Mrs. Norcross as Lelouglug to her hu ■■
band. On the trousers of the dead man
were buttons tearing the print
“Brooks, tailor, Boston.” Pieces of
clothing were taken to Mr.
Brooks’ store this afternoon. There
it was positively stated that the firm had
made for Henry L. Norcross a coat of the
cloth presented and also a pair of trousers
of the same cloth as the other piece fur
nished by the detective. The button was
also identified as a peculiar one used by
this tailoring house.
who me WAS.
Henry L. Norcross. who certainly has not
been seen in Somerville since before the day
on whtoh the life of Bussell Sage wus threat
ened, is about 38 or 29 years of age. He
graduated from Somerville high school
about five years ago. Since graduating
from there he has conducted a note broker
age business.
SCARCELY ROOM FOR DOUBT.
Further investigation to-night leaves
scarcely any room for doubt that the bomb
thrower and Norcross are identical. His
father, who was seen to-night, believes
that such is the fact, although
be can asslzn no motive for
the act on hl9 son’s part. The identification
of the clothing ha- been made corapists by
the discovery that a number upon a por
tion of the trousers worn by the bomb
thrower and brought from New York to
day corresponds exactly with the number
againßt the name of Norcross on the books of
Brooks, the Washington street tailor who
made the suit of clothes for Norcross last
October. A photograph of the dead bomb
thrower’s Lead has been oompared with the
likeness of Norcross taken about six months
ago and the resemblanoe Is most striking.

leg had not been set properly and

ATLANTA TO HONOR CRISP.
The Capital City Will Give Him An
Ovation if He Stops There.
Atlanta, Ga., Deo. 11.— Atlanta will
very probably entertain Speaker Crisp
publicly as a mark of honor and distinction
if he can be Induced to stop here on his re
turn home from Washington for the holi
days. Many prominent dtiiens have
expressed such a wish, and some definite
move will probably be made in a day
or so. The election of Mr. Crisp
was dear to the hearts of all Georgians, and
especially where he is well known and uni
versally admired. There Is also a desire to
hear Judge Crisp speak, and It Is earnestly
hoped that he will find time to stop. Amer
icas, his home, proposes to give him a mag
nificent reception, but Atlanta, as the capi
tal of the state, desires to show the distin
guished gentleman the honors that his
position and worth entitle him to receive.
Judge Crisp is promised an ovation if he
can stop over in Atlanta long enough to
receive it,

WORLD'S Fair BP/.CB.
The Jar Between the State Delegates
and Hoard of Control Settled.
Chicago, Deo. 11.—The jar between the
state delegates and board of control of the
Columbian exposition as to jurisdiction over
applications for space and tho selection
at exhibits has been finally settled.
Three different resolutions had been offered
on the subject. A long debate ended in ap
pointing a committee of six, three delegates
and three members of the board of control,
to reach an agreement. The committee re
ported the following resolution, which was
adopted unanimously:
Resolved. That the world’s Columbian com
mission or its board of control shall make such
regulations as msy bo necessary to enable such
of said state or territorial boards as
may so desire or request to Inquire
Into and consider tho propriety of all
exhibits that may bo offered by
any cltison or resident of their respective stat.-s
or t*Bmorlee: stid it is the opinion of this con
fareoub that such state ov territorial board
should be empowered to receive and forward to
the director general all applications for
such space with such recommendations
for space as they think proper;
and it should be provided tAt in
ease any proposed exhibitor shall apply directly
to the director ger-oral. the application shoulif
b referred tothe board of hissiat-orterritory,
and final action thereon deferred until such
board shall have had a fair and reasonable op
portunity to consider and report upon the same.
The Chicago board of directors assembled iu
regular monthlymeeting on the adjournment
of the convention aud declared its position
on the appropriation question. Iu effect
the board propose* to ask congress to give
the exposition $5,000,000, to be repaid in the
same ratio as the city of Chicago and
private subscribers. This means that
if the exposition makes enough to pay the
subscribers in full the government will get
back its #5,000,000; if the earnb gs are only
25 per cent, the United States will got
$1,250,000.

during the last week as reported to R. G.

Dun & Co.’s review says: “As the holi

"At the east there is again distinct

branches of industry: at the we-t trade con
tinues iu volume never approached in auy
previous year, and even ut tho south in
spite of some embarras-inent, tho volume of
trade is on the whole large, though not

some southern points and the mere fact that
the cotton now accumulated at a few ports
and interior towns, represents fully #(50,u00,-

not permanent. It is a good sign also that
collections are on the whole improving,
though slow at New Orleans and some
southern points and only fair in some lines
at eastern -itiee.
DISTRIBUTION OF MERCHANDISE.
“ Reports from all parts of the country
show very fair activity iu tho distribution
of merchandise.
“The expected reduction in prices of car
pets has come —from 10 cents on body Brus
sels to 5 cents on ingrains—which are now
said to be cheaper here than iu England.
“Among clothiers the better class of goods
are in excellent demaud.
“The trade in knit goods is quiet, and in
dross goods satisfactory, but some conces
sions are noted in flannels. Print clothe
show some improvement and prints are
more active.
“The boot and shoe business clearly in
creases. Boston shipments exceeding last
year's 20 per cent, for the week, though for
the year the decrease is still 3J-.j percent.
IRON MORE ACTIVE.
“The iron murk is more active. Bar and
plate mills are well employed, though prices
are low, orders for 20,000 cars having been
placed iu two weeks at the lowest prices
ever known.
“Cotton is unchanged, the receipts being
still beyond those of the same week last
year.
‘ 'Pork products arc slightly stronger, cof
fee ’p cent and oil 1% cents higher, without
groat activity in any branch of the specu
lative trade.
“The exports of domestic products con
tinue unchecked, and for the last week were
44 per cent, more than for tho first week of
December last year. Yet preparations for
yearly settlements abroad causa such re
initt*nces that imports of specie are stopped
by the decline in foreign exchange. Fa
vorable monetary prospects strengthen the
mark t for securities, especially as it is evi
dent that disbursements in dividends, inter
est and profits about Jan. 1 will he large

better tone, some securities have advanced,
and there is no feeling of apprehension re

Surer foundation cannot be laid than the
real merit which is the solid base for the

St. Louis, Doo. 11.—A special from El
Paso, Tex., says; “The strike of the tele
graph operators between this city and

the dispatchers to handle Southern Pacifio
trains between this city and Deming, N. M. t
but the operators bluntly refused to do it,
aud the superintendent was so notified.
Nothing was heard from him up to 6 o'clock
last night. If he tries to force the matter
and puts ‘scabs’ to do the work it means a
strike on the whole Sama Ke system. Tbe
district superintendent of tbe Western
Union ordeured the men to handle the trains
between here and Deming, but the men
would not, and the matter rests there until
higher officials are beard from."
TRAINMEN HOLDING MEETINGS.
The trainmen between here and Yuma

they shall take any action in tbe present

From the London Referee.
Mr. McCormick, the London agent of the
Chicago world’s fair, is negotiating for the
loan or purchase of Lord Shrewsbury’s
famous collection of Instruments of torture,
formerly kept in the royal castle at Nurem

racks, tongue tearers, thumb screws, iron
gloves, compulsorily worn red hot, barbed
whips, strangling collars, spiked cradles,
Iron caps, an elegant arrav of executioners'
swords and a series of ancient prints illus
trating executioners and methods of torture
iu the good old times, but the piece do re
sistance of tho show is the original iron
maiden, which is thus accurately and unctu
ously described in the catalogue:
“It is u ade in the shape of a woman, a
Madonna, before which the victim was
compelled to kneel in prayer. It opens
with two doors to admit the victim, anil
lmide is fitted with sharp iron spikes, so ar
ranged that when the doors are pressod to
these sharp prongs force their way Into va
rious portions of the victim’s body. Two
entered his eyes, others pierced his neck,
chest and, iu fact, impaled him alive in
such a manner that he lingi red iu most ago

poor wretch from his agonies, perhaps after
days. Then the trap door in the base wat
pulled open, and bis bedy was allowed to
fall into the moat or the river below.”

American Fireflies. English Glow
Worms and Tropical Flies.
FVom the Washington Star,
Fireflies have been put and are even to
this day applied to some curious uses. In
Bt. Domingo and other West India Islands
they are employed for lighting purposes,
being confined in lanterns, both for going
about tho country st night and for the illu
mination ef dwellings.
By attaching one of them to each foot
while traveling in tho darkness they serve
as a guide to the path. They are also util
ized in Cuba and elsewhere tor ornaments,
wherewith the gowns and coiffures of ladles
are adorned on festive oec t-ious. One can
read by the light which a few of those in
sects give. One point that may be urge! in
behalt of those firetl.es is tfcat thev kill
nusquitoes, finding in the latter ‘their
favorite prey.
The ancients were probably un
acquainted with the species of fireflies
which are so familiar in this country, be
cause the most remarkable of these ore
peculiar to America. The great lantern
flies of Southern Europe and Asia, which
are sometimes called “flyiuir glow-worms,”
are allied to the boat flies and water
scorpions. On the other band, the fireflies
of the tropics are beetlos. The latter are of
a somber hue in the daytime, and it is only
at night that they show their lights.
The English glow-worm is tho wingless
female of a winged beetle. Some suppose
that the light she bears is bestowed for
her protection to scare away the nightingale
and other nocturnal birds. Others, how
ever, balieve that the gift of brightness is
the very lure bv which her foes are assisted
to discover and devour her. Much specula
tion has been Indulged In as to the nature
of tho glow-wonn’s light, which is not put
out by water nor seemingly capable of giv
ing forth auy heat.
It has been asserted that the light diffus
ing substance contains phosphorous, but
this has never been proved. Certainly it is
incapable of oommunincatiog ignition to
anything.
Least attractive among the insects which
give light are the so-called “electrio centi
pedes”—black crawlers with many legs,
whioh have been likened to sorpents' skele
tons in miniature. They movo in a snake
like fashion, forward or backward, leaving
behind them a bright truck of phosphorio
light. However, they are most accustomed
to appenr in the day time, when tho illu
mination they afford is not visible.

Chicago Is said to amount to $63,000,000 an-
