Nashville, Nov. 15.—The Davidson
county courthouse was the scene of the
most sensational political tragedy that
has cA'cixrred in Nashville in a number
of years.
George Iv. Whitworth, clerk and mas
ter of the chancery court, assassinated
Judge Andrew Allison, the chancellor
of this division, and then attempted
suicide, showing himself twice near the
heart, infl c.ring fatal wounds.
Judge Allison was taken unawares
and given no chance for his life. Whit
worth etn] tied a load of buckshot into
his breast and then shot himself twice
through the breast with a pistol. His
recovery is despaired of, while the judge
died iu a few minutes.
Little is known of the cause, except
that business matters, connected with
their office, are at the bottom of the
tragedy.

THE LABOR CONVENTION.
Why the Mine Worker* Were Shat Oat la
New Orleans. ^^
Pittsburg, Nov. 16.—The true in
wardness of the shotting out of the
miners’ delegates from the Knights of
Labor convention in New Orleans, says
the Chronicle Telegraph, is well known
here.
It was their plan to join forces with
the Powderly delegates, thus giving
them control of the convention. James
Campbell, ex-president of the Window-
glass Workers’ a as Gelation, was to be
elected general master workman and
and Robert Walcherp, state factory in
spector of Pennsylvania, was to be of
fered the office of national secretary
treasurer, thus completely shutting out
the present administration.
But Secretary and Treasurer Hayes
was wary and, looking over the books,
fonnd that the looal assemblies compos
ing national trades assembly 185, which
the miners’ delegates represented, had
not paid dues for two years past.
Armed with this information he went
into the convention and broke up the
plans of the opposition by unseating
the miners’ delegates on these grounds.
AMERICANS TO BLAME. *
Tha Nlcarnupuan Government Triad to
fVaTn Pence Rat Could >Tot.
Minneapolis, Nov. 15. ~C. E. Rogers,
superintendent of the Pearl Cays Can
ning oompany, of Blueflelds, Nicaragua,
now in this cdty, .says that many of the
recent dispatohes from Blueflelds have
been colored by a clique posing as the
American colony at Blueflelds. He de
clares that the charges of disrespect
shown the American flag -are fhlse and
were inspired by the imqns >at which
one of the leaders is the express compa
ny embezzler, Crawford.
"The Americans down there gpt on
the wrong side of the fence,” says Mr.
Rogers. "Instead of supporting the!
Nioaraguan government, which almost,
humiliated itself to please tho American
residents, they sided with the -Tanvtica

cles here. Few railroad president!
could be induced to talk for publication,
but all discounted and denounced the
findings of the commission as not only
not being warranted by the facts, bnt
also as going beyond the scope of their
inquiries.
Instead of confining themselves to
the causes of the big strike and the con
ditions surrounding it, the railroad
presidents think that the commissioners
have transcended their functions by in
dulging in a. lot of reasoning why and
wherefore the strike should have been
adjusted in another way than it was
and winding np by some extraordinary
conclusions as to compulsory arbitra
tion and the establishment of a perma
nent United States strike commission.
Further than this, the throe officials
jump from the Pullman troubles to a
discussion of tbe sympathetic strike,
and go out of their way, so the railroad
presidents say, to strike a blow at the
Railroad Managers’ association.
_ As regards the proposition for a na
tional board of arbitration, the railroad
presidents think the matter absurd,
particularly when the arbitration is to
be binding on the emplovers and notou
the employes. Almost ludicrous, they
»ay, is the dictum of tbe commissioners
that "railroads have not the inherent
rights of employers engaged in private
business,’’ bnt that "employes have an
inherent, inalienable right to work or
quit’’

ed, besides silverware, parts of Mrs;
Hart's trousseau and, as she alleges, let
ters which she iutended to use in a suit
for an abedtute divorce from her bos
baud. Joshua L. Hart:
The trunk was delivered by Tiffany
& Co. to her husband, who Is the head
of the firm of Hart & Oa, wholesale
hardware merchants of Charleston. He
lives in that oity, while hi* wife’s home
is at present in New York.-
Mrs. Hart’s maiden’name was Jack-
son. Her father was a wealthy member
of the New York Stock exchange. She
was married to Hart in this city, March
27, 18S4, and they lived here until 1891,
when they went to Charleston. They
tare one daughter, 9 years old. Mrs.
Hart is a handsome woman, with red
dish brown hair.
The leather trqnk. over the contents
of which this action was brought, was
sent to Tiffany’s July l, 1891. The
Harts Were then living at 14 East One
Hundred aud Twenty-fifth street. On
the receipt given to Mrs. Hart for the
trank was a printed notice stating that
the receipt must be given up before the
trunk could be surrendered. In the
trank, she said, was a lot of silverware,
including two spoons, relics of Presi
dent Jackson, a quantity- or point lace
and the letters mentioned.
Soon after the trank was stored the
Harts went to Charleston. From there
Mr. Hart wrote to Tiffany & Co. for the
trunk, and they sent it to him Feb. 9.
1892. In April, 1892, Mrs. Hart demand
ed the trunk, and in reply Tiffauy &
Co. showed heir her husband's receipt
for it She then brought suit through
Dos Pfissos Bros, of 15 Broad street.
Mrs. Hart described on the witness
stand the silverware and point Ixoe con
tained in the trank, and then Lawyer
John R. Dos Passes asked her about tbe
letters. She replied that her husband
still had them. Mrs. Hart said that she
left her husband in April, 1892, because
he did not supeort her.
On cross examination a lawyer named
Ten Eyck,v ,io appeared for the defend
ants, asked her:

The lawyer wanted to go still, farther
into her relations with her husband,
but Justice Barrett refused to compel
the witness to answer.
Then Mr. Ten Eyck produced a dip
ping from a Charleston newspaper;
dated April 19, 1892, which referred to
her flight from Charleston. The wit
ness burst into tears, and the judge re
fused to allow the article to be read,
saying that ue was not txying a divorce
case. ' .
Several experts, including employes
of Tiffany, testified as to the value of
the content of the trunk. The deposi
tion of Hart, taken in Charleston, was
read. He said that experts who had
examined the contents of the trank in
Charleston, had valued them at $427.75.
He said he had seen his wife bnt once
since she had left him in April, 1892,
and that was when she attempted to
kidnap the child and sail for New York.
He admitted having the trank, and said
that his wife had never demanded it of

to be used in intoning

greater strength and depth, there lain
tbe whole wide world no human sound
like i t.
There are only certain parts of the
service that are thus intoned, snob as
Halleluiah,” "Lard heve mercy,”
“Lord, we pray tKe,” "Grant this, O
God,” bnt above all, "8ave long, OGod,
the life of the czar I” Over and over
again are these words moaned, sighed
and roared, like a varying wind, through
the arches and galleries of tbe splendid
churches of the meet splendid country
of the world.
There is a priest in the Church of St
Savenr iu Moscow who was pardoned
and brought back from Siberia solely
because of the extraordinary depth of the
tones of his voice.
These great baying, bnll-iike voices
bring to their owners, it is said, a very
good income. The last part of the serv
ice is always the loudest, uid the last
words, in a tremendous final roar, are
always the petition to save long from
death the czar. Unlike the Latin service
of the Roman Catholic chnroh, the com
mon people of- Russia can understand
much of the service of their ohurch, as
a part of it is in modern Russian and
the rest in old Slavonia Thus that cry
which rings through the churche* to
save the life of the czar is understood
and felt by tbe humblest rabjeot to
Russia. . , H rfjS-'iE- :
Although this Intoning can he heard
everywhere in the churches throughout
Russia, the best example of it is per
haps in the famous Alexander Nevsky
monastery in St Petersburg At 4
o’clock every afternoon the priests’ chant
can be heard there, and no traveler
should miss this extraordinary spectacle.
In tbe winter, when the higher classes
are In town, there ore long lines of ele
gant conveyances at the door, that have
brought the fashionable Russian devo
tees to hear the monks chant Bnt at
all times of the year it ia a resort not
only for Russians, bnt for the strangers
from the hotels. The monastery is at
the end of the fashionable Nevtky Pror-
pekt the Fifth avenue of St Peters
burg. In the green inolosnre there are ,
many buildings connected with the
monastery, bnt it was to the chapel
where the monks chant the evening
service that we first directed our steps
one afternoon late in Jane. Far back in
the dimness, in a chancel behind two
altars, was a collection of large, brawny
men. Their long black robes, high
black velvet caps and long flowing ..
veils, all of black, magnified their
height and their imposing appearance.
Their beards were long, and heavy
locks of hair hnng like thiok manes on
their shoulders. \
They were already chanting when
we entered, in those peculiar orgaulike
tones which I fonnd the most impress
ive thing in Russia. How that strange»
volume of sound moaned and rose and
fell throughout the structure I How it
wailed in onr ears, like a mighty wind,
and always, whether loud or soft, in the
saddest, sweetest melody I There were
half recitative solos, chanted first by
one voice and taken np by the others.
"Lord have mercy 1” "Lord grant it!”
they wailed and moaned until it seem
ed as if the sound wonld never again
leave my ears.
After a time it oeased, and then the
procession of towering black robed
monks came out into the body of the
chapel, leaving bnt little room for ns
as we crowded ourselves against the
wall. Placing themselves with their
backs toward ns and their faces toward
the altar in a. semicircle, they began
again their chant, in a different and
much loader refrain, "God save long
the life of the empetorl” Never shall I
forget that semicircle of black monu
mental figures nor the wavee of sound
that still vibrated on the air after their
voices had ceased.
We tamed away and walked across
the green courtyard, where many rich
Russians are buried. All Russians es
teem it a sacred privilege to be buried
in the soil surrounding a monastery,
and among, those who lie here is the.
novelist Tnrgeneff. We traversed nu
merous cloisters, with now and then
the tall, black veiled monks passing ns,
until we reached the chapel of Alexan
