Tle Execution of Barre and AeabeZ for
the NauFdaer OF the widow GaaAet--
Scene at tie GMlalOtEne.

PARIS Sept. 7.-At daybreak this morning
the two murderers, Barre and Leibez, con-
demned to death on July 81, for the murder
of Madam Gillet, were guillotned Generally
the time fixed for an execution is kept q
profound secret up to the last moment, not
only to the condemned but to the public, but
by some means the rumor that the execution
would take place on Or about this day had
been circulated and careful watch had been
maintained on the prisoners by those in
terested In selling seats In the houses which
command view Of the execution. Before
daylight this morning 1t was known that the
guillotine had arrived and that workmen
were putting 1t up.
In an incredibly short time news had been
sent to cafes and restaurants On the boule-
wards and other places, and an immense
crowd was soon gathered. Some OF the spec
tators had engaged their places days before
on condition that they should be notified when
to attend.
The crime of Barre and Leibez was most
atrocious one and their trial had caused great
excitement in Paris; Both were men In good
quirements above the average of men, even
Of his own class. Their victim was milk
woman named Gillet, who had saved a con-
siderable sum Of money by long and painful
economy.
Shortly before daylight this morning the
condemned were informed that their hour
had come. The jailer accompanied by
priests entered their cells, and each Of the
men was left alone for five minutes with a
priest. AS they appeared the shirt collars OF
The condemned were cut off and their hands
rudely shortened, the arms ,pinioned and
they were hurried tow he door in front OF
which the guilotine stouu. These movements
were all executed with such rapidity and pre-
csion that neither of the men had time to
speak, scarcely to think. AS the door sprang
open and the men caught sight Of the guillo-
tine they recoied. The great crowd gave
forth hoarse murmurs.
The executioner was marvelousIy rapid In
! his movements. In an instant Barre was
thrust forward against the upright of the
guillotine and strapped to it, the. plank was
thrown forward, and the knife fell and his
head tumbled into the basket. The execu-
tion of Leibez was equally quick, and all was
over in less than three minutes.

Albert Snyder, of Port Blakelv, the
Republican nominee for Joint Rep
resentative from Jefferson and Kit

known in this county, and hence a
brie: reference to him will not at
this juncture be ill.timed. Mr.. Sny-
der is a educated, intelligent
and worthy gentleman, and is uni.
versally respected where he is known.
His qualifications for filling the Of
fee of Representative in the Ter
ritorial Legislature are such that no
one can doubt the wisdom of choos
ing him to occupy that responsible
position. The cry has been raised
by some that he is radical temper

some who will oppose his election on
this ground. He assured us chat
while his life and habits were such
as to give coloring to such state.
ment, and while he favored restric.
tive legislation, he was in favor of
wholesome license laws as long as
majority of the people expressed a
wish to that effect. We honor the
man for the position which he has
taken regarding Temperance, and if
he is opposed on that ground only,
his election is certain. The time
has gone by when men who were
outspoken in favor Of temperance
and morality dare not become candi.
dates for positions of public trust
and expect to be elected. We say
this with pride and confidence in the
judgment of the voters of Jefferson
and Kitsap Counties, and believe
that Mr.. Snyder's position will be
sanctioned by majority Of those to
whom is left the responsibility Of de-
Gliding the matter.
