DEADLY TRAP IN ALABAMA:
Set by a Birmingham Man, It Has Killed
Two Burglars. a
Birmingham, Ala. (Special). Since the p
I death of his mother two years ago, William w
Penny, an eccentric old bachelor, has re- c
sided by himself in the family home near ?
Dolomete. He was a hard-working man s1
and daily absent from his home. His in- p
dustry and thrift resulted in the belief by ^
many people that he kept a hoard of money v
at home, and his house has been entered jt
by burglars several times. a.
Last spring, in order to catch any future sj
intruders, Penny set a trap gun just inside p
his door. In April, Gilbert Dorsey, col- p
ored,broke into the SollBejDia W91BBOC WW "T
killed by the gun. A few days ago. while j?
Penny wa9 at church, Nelson Wright, also ?
a negro, entered the house. The gun went ^
off and Wright died in the county jail from
his wounds. Another was severely wounded
in September in the same manner.
Wright was a deserter from the Third
Alabama itegiment, stationed at Anmston. a

CORNELIUS X. ELISS.
(Who has resigned from the Cabinet.)
President McKiuley upset all politica1
lates when he sent Mr. Hitchcock's nomlation
to the Senate, and he gave the
enators and politicians a surprise suoh as
iey rarely get. Nobody outside of the
abinet knew, apparently, that Mr. Hitchock
had been selected, and when the
ame went to the Senute it took everybody
nawares.
Secretary Bliss, in reply to a request for
lformation about his retirement from the
abinet, said: j
"It has been understood for some time
lat it would be my wish to retire from
tiKHn Ufa an Mm imnalnelnn of thA war.
ow that the peacetreaty has been signed,
?y request to be relieved will be granted,
ut I shall await the arrival of my sucBssor
before severing my connection with
tie department. I have been in most
earty accord with the President in
is policy through the trying days in
'hicn he sought to avoid war and while as
ommander-in-Chief he was conducting
be war that came, notwithstanding his
fforts to prevent it. I believe most rhorughly
in the course he is now pursuing
jr maintaining the honor of the country
y securing the just results of a successful
?ar. I shall leave my associates of the
a hi n ?t nnd nf the denartment and mv
lany friends in Washington with a great
Bgret, but private and personal reasons
lake my retirement a necessity."
The new Secretary i3 not expected to arive
here and take the oath of office before
ebruary 10.
The New Secretary's Career.
Mr. Hitchcock, the new secretary, was
ppointed early in 1897 Minister of the
nited States at St. Petersburg, and when
ussia sent her present representative hero
'ith the rank of Ambassador, Mr. Hitchock
was also promoted to the higher
rade. As his full name indicates, the new
abinet officer is descended from Vermont
:ock, being a great-grandson of Colonel
than Allen, who captured Port Tlconeroga,
though his father moved South
efore the war, and he was himself born
i Mobile. Ala. In St. Louis he is known
s a business man of large wealth and high
anding. For many years he has been
resident of the Crystal Plate Glass Cornany,
of Crystal City. Mo., an extensive
ad important enterprise. Mr. Hitchcock
known as a thorough business man, who
as not been actively in politics, although
e has always been a stanch Republican.
