The die Is cast. The case of Thomas
P. Fisher has been non pressed. Soon
the Governor will issue his writ, and
then-we shall again be shocked with
an execution. True, there is one chance
for the doomed man, the Board Of Par
dous, but will they dare to interfere /?
There are thousands who doubt II, and
Its action in the cases Of Campbell,
Doyle, Kelley and DonahOe is not at all
encouraging. Indeed I've yet to meet
the first man who entertained hopes Of
q better fate for Fisher. The prevail
ing idea is, that in six weeks at most,
poor Thomas P. will have ceased to
exist.
Respecting the fate Of O'Donnell, a
more hopeful feeling exists, and there
are many who doubt the possibility of
a conviction, provided fair average
Jury should be secured for him. In
short, public sympathy is with the pris-
oner; 1t will be felt at his coming trial
and may yet prompt his acqulttal. For
say what you will, tits public opinion
that rules the hour. 1t is more potent
than courts eveDIl and woe to him who
dare to disregard ~ 5E'a
Touching the Fritz homicide nothing
is said. IL may or may not come to
trial, but on the whole lively time may
be expected during next weeks ses
sions, as O'Donnell's case will surely
be the most hotly contested Mollie Ma
guire trial we've yet had,

stoppage, however, is not expected to
last long, as general resumption Of
mining operations must bring orders.
