The OIL Cavaliers.

The correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette who accompanied the recent ex-
eursion through Oil-dom furnishes the fol-
lowing graphic description of the depar-
ture of the party from Pithole City:
There was a lively competition in the
choice of horses-all the good ones being
taken as soon as brought up. Unluckily
our urbane friend, formerly mine host Of
the Gibson, was unable to find his steed
until after the entire party had started, so
that he enjoyed the distinguished honor of
being the last man leaving Pithole. A
few of the disabled, those to whom the
first days ride proved too much, were
placed in strong spring wagons and so,
tossed and jostled over these miserable
roads like men sailing on rough sea, they
were transported without accident. But
it was amusing to see the fragile form of
Erastus Brooks, carefully supported by
the arm of the portly President of the
Underwriters Insurance Company of Gin
cinnati, as the wheel would drop into one
of the many bottomless pits of these roads
and threaten the capsizing of the whole
craft and crew in such manner as to
place Brooks below, and his kind-hearted
protector above. But there is legend of
this land that wagons never upset here,
and it was not falsifed on this occasion
Among the number of those who had to
be transported, was Benz. Perley Poore.
the hero of the wheelbarrow

Execution of Champ Ferguson.

A special dispatch from Nashville tc
the Cincinnati Commercial of Saturday
describes the execution of Champ. Fergu-
son, which took place the day previous,
as follows:
Champ. Ferguson was executed at noon
to-day, at the penitentiary grounds just
outside the city. He died game on the
| gallows, evincing no emotion until the
rope was placed around his neck, when
his face turned very red and broke out
into prOfuse perspiration, attended with a
strong quivering of the lips, He stood
composedly ON the drop some twenty
minutes, while the charges, specifications,
and sentence were read by Col. Shafter.
lie nodded recognition to several persons
In the crowd, and shifted his position in
an impatient manner while the sentence
wss being read. To some specifications
he inclined his head in assent. To others
he shook his head. That about Elam
Huddleson caused him to say, 'I can tell
it better than that" When the speaker
read, "To all of which the prisoner pleads
not guilty." he said, II don't now."
After a prayer by his spiritual adviser
he was then asked if he had anything to
say before proceeding with the execution.
He replied, Nothing to say particularly
at all. No, don't think I have"
The moose Was here placed ar und his
neck, and then, for the first time, he gars
signs of emotion, and his face blushed to
deep scarlet. the perspiration broke
forth profusely from his face, and his lips
closed with convulsive CULVER The re-
alization of his awful situation seemed to
have fR.hed over his mind in all its full
ness, oyerpowering his fortitude.
Colonel Shafter wiped the sweat away,
and the prisoner gradually recovered his
equanih1ity.
He expressed himself as much opposed
to having anything placed over his eyes,
when handkerchief was called for. He
then volunteered the statement;
"I don't know some things in these
specifications. But l don't deny anything
L ever done"
For a moment or two he seemed to be
an impulse to make fuller re-
marks. After brief pause he added:
I" want to be sent to my family. 1 |
don't want to be buried on this soil"
After another pause he continued in an
excited tome:
"Don't give me to the doctors. don't |
want to be cut up"
Here Colonel Shafter answered: You
shan't, Mr. Furguson."
A short silence followed, when the pris-
er again spoke,
=" 1 want to be put in that thing" point
ing to his coffin, and taken to White
County, where can have my family |
around me. If had only had my way,
wouldn't have been here. Whenever
you are ready, 1 am done, My last re-
quest is to be sent away with my wife"
His last words were: "Ol Lord have
mercy on me, pray thee"
AT seventeen minutes to IL o'clock the |
drop fell, and life was extinct in sixteen
minutes.
