FOSTERS PENALTY.
THE FATAL DAY FAST APPROACHING.
RESPITE OUT OF TIE QUESTION.


A rumor was current yesterday morning
that Gov Dix had commued Fosters sentence but the
report was kept Of the Of the condemned man
All doubts and speculation on the subject were removed
later in the day by answer from the Governor 10
dispatch sent by the Sheriff DO you propose to send
me any communication in reference TO the case OF Fos-
teri As time presses please answer" The reply to this
was brief: "I have communication to make" The
intelligence that this last resort had been OF no avail
was communicated to Foster by the Sheriff himself at
$3.50 D. He received IL in silence and with remarkable
fortitude. Not a muscle OF his faco duyered,
nor did he in any way show the least emotion OF fear or
despair He TO be resigned TO his fate, and IL Is
said sleeps we'll The friends and relatives OF the con-
demRed man were sanguine that the last appeal would
not be disroearded by the Governor and the news OF
his refusal To grant respite threw chill upon all their
hopes Thurlow Weed has been in Albany interceding
with the Governor and the exerons OF exJudge John
X Porter have been unceasng. These efforts nave
seemed TO afford less hope, however to Foster than to
his friends.
Foster partook Of slight breakfast yesterday, after
which the morning newspapers were given TO him. Inc
Rev. Dr. Tying his spiritual adviser, called and remained
with him some time, praying with him and reading the
scriptures Fosters wife scarcely left his side during
the day. Visits also made to tho cell by seVerai
members OF his family, including his father uncle ana
brother No visitors except the family OF tho condemned
man will be allowed to enter the Tomb5 until after the
execution, and the gloomy pilSOh "e"IS ah u'"''''
somber and dismal aspect.
Under Sheriff Joel o. Stevens has issued the usual In
vtaons witness the execution to the different news
papers OF city and to the Judges Sheriff Brennans
office besieged with applications for admission To the
Tombs Friday, but he is faithfully needing Fosters
last request that few persons as possible may be ad
mtted. The gaows will be erected in the prisonyard
to day. and the final preparations made. The Governor
announced yesterday in response to inquiries at Al
bany that ho Of reason for interfering with the
execution.
