EER STORY ONE OF GREAT INTEREST
Juror Larsen Stricken With Appendi
citis and a New J ary Will Have
To Be Impaneled.
New York, November 10.—There was an
extraordinary turn of affairs today in the
Thorne murder triitl at Long Island City.
Mrs. Augusta Nack, who was indicted
together with her erstwhile paramour, Mar
tin Thorne, lor the murder of her former
lover, William Guldensuppe, for whom she
deserted her legal husband, appeared in
the role of a state's witness against Thorne,
to the consternation of the latter’s law
j ers.
For several weeks rumors have been cur
ia nt that both Thorne and Mrs. Naek were
striving lo gain a remiss on of a probable
capital sentence by giving sufficient infor
mation to the representatives of the people
for the convict on of the other. Despite
these rumors, the legal representatives of
the man and woman have strenuously de
nied that either of the prisoners was in
clined to turn informer.
Thorm’ was not told of the confession
until brought into court this morning.
When he heard of it he showed evidences
ot nervousness for the first time since his
arrest.
He soon regained his composure, how
ever. and while he leaned forward and
spoke to his lawyer, Mrs. Nack entered
tne courtroom accompanied by her lawyer
and a deputy sheriff. The woman passed
< lose to Thorne on her way to the district
attorney's table. But while he carefully
kept track of her every movement, she
uvo ded looking at him.
For two hours and forty minutes Mrs.
Nack remained on the witness stand, the
cynosure of all eyes, while she told the
terrible story of how she lured Guldensuppe
to his death, and in telling the tale she
knew full well she was bringing her para
mour to tlie electric chair. Frequently
the r eyes met, but the woman was not
equal to the occasion, and she always had
to turn away from Thorne’s steadfast gaze.
When asked why she had confessed, she
replied that she wished to clear her <-on
: -ience and then burol into tears. But
when Lawyer Howe began ids cross-exam
ination he handled her unsparingly and
made her own up to such acts of premedi
tation that the majority of those who heard
her adnrssions said that she was the great-
<st culprit, and many of those who had
previou: ly evinced a decided antipathy to
•f tn.rne sw-rved around and pitied hint.
Mrs. Naek told of her relations wit'n
Guldensuppe. They lived tog. t'.ier at -Ilia
Ninth avenue and here the murdered man
was known as her husband. Sh. des rib’d
Thorne's coming tie re to board and of h.s
light with Guldeiisupp'.
The witness told if Th. rne’s threats to
kill Guldensupp. and detailed 111,, renting
of the VV. ' dside hous
Gradually th.- UiWyr led the witness up
to the morning of- F.i-lay, June 25th, the
<‘;tj t tat th. criri ■ was committed. She
said site and Gulm. mmppo fi ft Nev, V.uh
between 9 and 10 o'cl >,.-k that morning, an.l
after they had crossed the ferry boarded
a trolley ear, which left th- m at the Wood
ride cottage.
"1 had the key of the house," she said,
"and I ooened the front door. 1 told Gul
d ■ nsuppi to , nter and examine the house
while 1 W'*-it Into the yard. He went up
stairs and 1 hoard a shot. Martin Thorn-?
then came running down, and when he
met m.- lie said:
" 'l've shot him: ho Is dead.’
"lie was v. >y ■■'. if.-d and I was half
dead.” said the self-confessed murderess,
br.-athl, ssly.
"What did you do then?” asked Judge
W-lier.
"He ask.il me to go homo and come
back at 5 o'clock. When I ■ ime back that
ev-ning Thorne had everything packed in
bundles. He handed me a bundle which he
said contained Guld, nsuppe's cloth'-s, and
he took another bundle which was wrap
p,l up in a gray-colored paper. He su'd
tli it it was Guld.-nsupp-'s h<-.i\l and that
i: was done up in phister of purls. He
took the trolley car and went over to N w
Yerk on a ferry boat."
In relating what had been done with the
various parts of Guld,-nsuppe's. corpse, M ,
Naek said that when she went back to the
cottage at 5 o’clock Thorne had everything
tied up in parcels, some of them in the
oil cloth that she had purchased in Long
Island City. When they were ready to
Irtivi- the cottage sh-- took om- parol and
Thorne another. Hers contained Guld-n
--?::pp,-'s clothing and In Thorne's parcel
was the dead man's head, which he had
incased In plaster paris in the washtub of
tie- outage. They went directly to a ferty
which one she did not know and she
went to th'- front of the boat and Thorne
si.iid on the rear.

Thorne rejoined her and said that he had
thrown the head overboard Oil reaching

Thorne Must Have a New Jury.
New York. November 12.—When the
Queens county court of oyer and terminer
opened at Long Island City today ft was
represented to Judge Smith that Magnus
Larsen, one of the jurors sitting in the
case of Martin Thorn, accused of the mur
der of William Guldensuppe. had been
obliged to submit to a surgical operation
for appendicitis, and that under the most,
favorable conditions lie would not be able
to resume his seat in the jury box in less
than three weeks. It. therefore, became a
question as to how the case should be pro
ceeded with,
, Mr. Howe, counsel for Thorn, sugg.tso'd
- the r< tention of the rest of the jurors who
I sat for tlie rest of tlie trial and impaneling
, a twelfth juror, to whom the proceedings
i could be read from the court rej ci ter’s
i notes.
District Attorney Youngs .‘k"d for time
I to look up the authorities before accepting
I or rejecting the proposition of the counsel
i for the defense, and Judge Smith adjourned
further consideration of the case until 1
o’clock p. m.
After an hour's consultation between the
I district attorney and Mr. Howe, tile latter,
demerging from one of tlie rooms, said to
| the reporters:
■ “G» ntlemcn, I can now tell yon positively
. that there will be an entirely new jury se
lected. 1 have just spoken io Mr. Youngs
and found that he and his associate were
not in favor of adopting the plan I pro
posed In court this morning.
"Mr. Youngs will have a new panel of
: 200 talesmen made up, and the subpoenas
will be issued immediately."
District Attorney Youngs a few moments
' la'er confirmed the announcement by Mr.
, Howe.
"My reasons for not accepting Mr. Howe's
’ suggestion," ho sal.l. "ar,- that '.he inter
ests of th,- people will he better served by

Sovereign, who has bon general master
workman of the Knights of Labor for the
past four years or more and who, before
and during that time, lias been one of the
ablest champions of the order and its doc
trines, was this afternoon relieved of bls
office by th.- general assemlily, which lias
been in session in this city since Monday
Under ordinary conditions Mr. Sover.- gn s
term of office would not expire until the
next meeting- This, however, It is sa.,l.
makes no difference with the ord.-r whose
general officers during a meeting are al
ways in the hands of the assembly and .an
be chosen and deposed at the will ot tlie
majority. Along with Mr. buon tint
were three oilier officers retired beet tse <:f
this special cleet .on. \'iz.. 1-•- '-•he,
general worthy foreman, of Am-uerdim,
N. Y.; Daniel Brown, of Montana, and
H. B. Martin, of .Minnesota, members of the

Henry A. Hicks, of New York district 253,
New York city, was chosen to till Mr. Sove
reign's place, and 1. D. Chamberlain, of
Pueblo, Co!-, was selected as general
worthy foreman. Senators Field I-itzpat
rlclt, of Montreal, and Henry Bostock, of
assembly 3W). glassworkers, wore chosen as
tlie two members of the executive board,
the third member being Andrew D. last.
Th s very decided change in the corps
of general officers of the Knights of Labor
will cause cons derabie astonishment In
labor circles throughout the eountiy. S.tve
to those who wore on the "inside. so to
speak, for the past three months there
was absolutely nothing of this known. It
is said, though, tin- change was sudden
and totally unlook,-d for; was done w.th
the amicable consent ot all. In sonic

Mr. Sovereign prefaced his address with
the s'atement that the opening of this reg
ular session of the general assembly pre
sents to the world the "same undismayed
membership through whose fortitude and
courage the spirit of progress combats
greed and avarice and defies the cant and
hypocrisy of the age.
Mr Foverelgn then took as his th< me the
great mini rs’ strike, in win. h, he said, the
knights had a large membership directly
involve*!. Ho said In part:
“Thot gr» it strugvh* was a test b* t\ve< n

"While tills great strike was supported
by all r< cogniz'd labor orguniza ions and
w ’ ;l s th< gr, it. »t st niggle of the kind ev
known In Amcri<-a. to the credit of the labor
it can lie Slid that th.-r.- was ho lawless
ness or riot committed by the strikers.”
Mr. Sovereign's refer.-nce to the Hazleton
affair was br, vity its.-If. he simply saying
that it was a “cold-blooded murder of in
offensive Hungarian miners by the sheriff
of Hazleton.” whom h«- chnraeterized as an
ag.-nt of employing corporations.
Mr. Sovereign eonelud. d by saying that
tin- most gratifying r. -iili of th. national
labor conferences li' ld during the past year
was demonstra t<-il in the ability of the or
ganized labor forces to rise above selfish
ness and jealousy and unite for the common
good of all.
After tin- annual address the change in
officers took place. The old officers w<sre
reliev'd and the new ones elected and in
stalled. -Mr. Sovereign’s name was the
first one mentioned in nomination, but he
immediately arose and said be would not
accept. No one opposed Mr. Hicks. The
other officers w re also chosen with as
much ease, after which tin- assembly was
declared to be formally organized.
The regular order of business will be tal-®'t
up tomorrow.

to any officer of the road voting his indi

time a poll of the stock was tak.-n they
were outvoted. They demanded, under s, c

was made, showing that the lt.ile'gh and

Georgia Road’s New President.
Augusta, Ga., November 9.-(Special.)—lt
was generally understood before the an
nual meeting of the Georgia railroad batik
directors today that Mr. Jacob I'ldnfzy. one
of th.- larg.-st stockholders In the company
and om- of the most popular directors,
would be i-hos.-n pr.-sid. nt of th,- bank, but
at the meeting today he was not only
elected president of the bank, but presi
dent of the Georgia railroad as well.
Colonel Charles H. Phlnizy, who, for fif
teen y. ars. has b.-'-n president of the com
pany since the retirement of General K.
F. Alcx.inder. submitted to the tn "ting a
communication declining to offer for re
election on account of bad health.
The election resulted as follows:
Mr. Jacob Phinizy. president.
Mr. lA'onard Phinizy. vi<-e president.
Mr. C. G. Goodrich, cashier.
Mr. Jacob Phinizy has been a director
for seven years past and ir one of the
most , tlleient and influential business men
of Augusta. Mr. Leonard Phinizy, vice
president, who has been spoken of in con
nection with the presidency, was not a
candidate for the position after his brother
announced his candidacy
The election of Mr. Jacob Phinizy pro
motes to the executive office a man of
large means, broad business exp, riem-e
and fine judgment, and his selection meets
with warm indorsement.

The People’s Forum
The Cotton Situation.
Editor Constitution—The subject which
is now most prominent in the minds of the
southern people is the price of cotton. It
Is a lamentable fact that th.- prosperity
of this section is dependent upon the cot
ton planter securing a fair price for his
cotton; otherwise every other interest is
adversely affected, and 5-cent cotton means
depression to all commercial affairs and
poverty to a large majority of people. His
to the interest of the cotton manufacturers
throughout the world to buy their cotton
at the lowest possible price—at -1 cents, if
they can—and what do they care if it re
sults in the labor of the southern people
going for nothing? Unfortunately for the
cotton growers, a system exists which
compels them to accept twhatev.-r may be
offered for their product, simp.y because
they owe the money for advances, and it
must be paid.
With an estimated crop of 10,000,C00 bales,
it is assumed that at least 5,000,000 bales
will be sold for about 5 cents, which means
depression and stagnation, and should the
remainder of the crop be forced down to
•1 cents, it means actual want and suffering
to many. Combinations for the promo
tion of many of tlie largest Interests in
the country now exist, such as sugar, oil,
tobacco and many others. Some of these
combinations are necessary and commenda
ble, and should be encouraged, but grin.i
ing monopolies result in extortion, and
should be stamped out. Now, shall we n-i
the other S.IHW.UUO bales of cotton go out
of the country lo enrich foreigners and
impoverish tlie soutb. ro people, or shall
we demand 7 cents for it and store it in Hie
warehouses until that price is paid? Tn?
world will r< quit', this cotton for ns
actual wants, and should the produe r, by
conibinatior demand the warehousemen to
hold lor a basis of 8 cents al the ports,
no power on eartii could keep
the gold of England, France and
Europe from coming to the soutli
for cotton. There are enough owners
of cotton who are able to hold at least
3,000,600 bales until they obtain at. least
7 c. nts for It, and this would mean $30,000,-
000 for these growers. At,- th ■
cotton producers forever to pay tribute to
other combinations, and do nothing to
advance their own interests?
But tlie American manufacturers of cot
ton goods may say that such a price for
raw cotton in tlie face of the limited de
mand for tile manufactured goods, would
prevent them from running their mills ex
cept at a loss. The only way to obviate
this would be to form a combination
among the manufacturers, esta 1.-.!siisiig
prices for their goods which would af
ford a fair compensation for their labor
and reasonable profit for their goods.
Three million bales held In bonded
Warehouses would be certain to advance
the price to reasonable figures, and ad
vances could be mad - on the warehouse
receipts, if necessary, moreover, a ware
house receipt for 10') bales of cotton would
be as sat'-- as a bank account.
la regard to the next crop: Factors
will not advance mor.- than oii'.-h.-'lf of
what they advanced this year, and the
class of farmers who depend upon obtain
ing ailwmci s on ,-otton will lie compelled
to forego that pleasure anil raise bug and
hominy: so the Liverpool and New ’ York
operators will have to base th'-ir calcula
tions on a 7.oiic,i'iio crop for next. year. A
cotton combination among actual growers
and holders may be all visionary and en
tirely imtiracticable. but one thing we
know and experience every day, that is
low prices and commercial depr.-ssion,
therefore, a southern cotton association
coni. l do no harm bv making tlie , xp'>ri
ment. _ T. SKELTON JONES.

Cotton and Money.
Editor Oonstitut ion—Th.-r* is. a. mistaken
id, a with many that the present 'irlc* .-f
cotton at 5 cents is a resumption of ante
bellum conditions, and that Ils > otintry
will have to be content therewith. That
inasmuch as our fathers w. re subje.-t.-.l to
such low and ruinous prie. s, we must be
satisfied with 4 and 5 cent cotton nneom- i
р. and that all will be well if th • ■
p< opl. will be eont,-nted, have confidence, i
live economically, and keep out of debt.
Now If all this w.is true; if the southern
farmer before Hu- war received only 4 and
5 cents for his cotton, and was contented,
happy and prosperous, then we their de
reendant; might do likewise, and be just
ly rebuked for growling; but such is aot
true, and our people can har lly be bl-im. d ;
for crying out at such a calamity. Wh it I
are tlie facts as to the history of eott. :t i
and prices? It will doubll.?ss surprise m.-.’iy :
to hear that the average price in New York |
item 1791 to 1890 was cents p'-r pour 1. '
Tlie avm ge prices for each decad, of tho I
100 years are as follows:
First ilicade, 1791 to .800. 33.80 cents.

Eighth d'cad". 181,1 to 1870, 11.89 cents.
Ninth decade. 1871 to 188<\ 11'5 cents.
Tenth decade, 1881 tu 18;rl, 1a.75 cents.
The av.-rage prie.- In 1890 was 11.53 cents,
and th.- lowest price 101$ cents, as reported
by Tin- Journal of <'omtn. rce. The ,T' n I
that year was 8.652.597 bales, or at s'o

A SIMPLE, HARMLESS REMEDY
Yet It Cures the Worst. Cases of Dys- :

Dr. Jennlson. who has m idi- :t life rtudy '

Indigestion really amount to tho same
thing, that is. failtiFt to mpb :, ly dig st

it..lib!,- is acid dysp. psia or sour stomach, I

induced bv any natural, harttil. ss way in
thoroughly dig.-st what is eaten, and this ;
can be done by a simple remedy which ,
I have test d In hundreds of aggravated ■
cases with complete success. The remedy ,
is a combination, of fruit and vegetable !
essenci s, pur aseptic pepsin and golden :
seal put up itt the form of pleasant tasting I
tablets and sold by druggists under Hie '
name of Stuart's Dysii- i-.-f.i Tablets. <ma 1

aft. r mi-als and allowed to dissolve in the i
mouth and mingling with the food in the |

On actual experiment, one grain of Stu

wholesome foods.
It is safe to say if this wholesome reme

it would »■■ a national blessing, as we are
a nation of dyspeptics, and nine-tenths of
all diseases owe their origin to imperfect
digestion and nutrition.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia. Tablets are not a se

will do more real good for a weak stomach
titan SSO worth of patent medicines, and a

which he does not know when widely ad
