murder of middle aged white woman

He is attended by clergyman of the Meth

selected is near Belair, on the almshouse

possible. y piece of ground thirty-two feet
square will be inclosed by a high and strong
board fence, and within this the gallows will
be erected. No person will be admitted
within the enclosure but officers of the law
and representatives of the press. The con-
demned man has until quite recently mani
tested the utmost indifference TO his fate
Now, however, he appears TO realize his posi-
ton, and is very much depressed in spirits
He listens with Increased interest to the
counsel of the various ministers of the Cos

His chief spiritual adviser is Rev. David

The author OF the Strangers Note Book
in the New York S,a,, whose criticisms on

stood that city on its head, does not seem to
be very favorably impressed with the gov

toll, itself, for that matter. He re cards the

The best plan for moving the gorge without
damage was 10 waH until the current had
risen TO sufficient height to carry OFF the ice
and then by blasting 10 start the keystone of
the arch, and thus set the whole field in mo-
ton. He thought the glacier in front OF this
town required oiligent watchfuness rather
than efforts TO remove it. When the right
moment comes the blasting should be begun

result OF this gorge unless freshet should
come from above, bearing with il another

be disastrous TO Port Jervis and the sur

The Situation I'm New Orleans.

NEW YORK, March 6.-The HeTaJFs New
Orleans special of last night says: The situa-
ton tonight may be considered as follows
Some of the members of the minority, who
are still unpledged, believe they can take
their seats in the house without subscribing
TO theWheeler resolutions; while others, quite
as influential, consider that that resolution
is a sine qua non condition OF their being seat
ed; and they affirm that under the cireum-
stances they will not approach the legisla-
ture should an extra session be called. These
unpledged members number about twenty,
and feeling exists in favor of allowing them
10 take their seats unpledged, in Difference to
their appreciation of their duties, inasmuch
as it is understood that that is the only i'm
pediment i'm the way; and at all events such
small minority could not affect the status

WHO CAUGHT TON BALLARD?-The de-
tectives are wrangling over the - 600 reward
offered by the government for the arrest of
Tom Ballard, who was recently sentenced in
this city TO 80 years Imprisonment for coun-
terfeiting. Messrs. Reynolds, Dickerson, a.,s
Henderson, of Buffalo, demand the money,
on the ground that they were the first TO
ascertain that the Ballard family were in
that city, and that they were the means
through which the secret service officers re-
ceived information which led to the arrest
Officer Perkins. who was sent from WASH
ingtOn to work up the case for the govern
ment, claims that he, and his men are en-
titled to the money, as they found Tom Bal
lard, the Buffalo officers having found only
Ben and George Ballard. There is some
trouble with the plates and dies taken with
the Ballards. The plates, made for counter
feiting United States money legally belong
ing TO the government; but it cannot claim
the plates for making Canadian cOunterfeits
These Messrs. Dickerson and Reynolds claim
for the Canadian government, which it is
said, Will pay literally for them. There is
no means of knowing what the government
Will do in the matter, and il is believed that
IL Will take some time to decide the matter
