INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. l9.-The execu-
ton OF Lewis Guetig took place at
noon. He murdered Mary McGlew,
just one year ago to-day because she
refused to renew n marriage engage
ment with him, which she had broken
of on account Of his habits Of disslpa-
ton. He has had two trials and was
sentenced to death both times. He has
seemingly been indifferent to his fate,
and only last night would he consent
to the ministrations Of the clergy. In
mounting the scaffold and during all
the proceedings he manifested a won
derful exhibition Of nerve. He spoke
a few words, asking the forgiveness OF
any he had wroDged aud announced
himself ready to suffer the penalty OF
the law, without complaining. He
then turned and walked about the scat
fold, shaking hands and bidding good
bye TO acquaintances, while he nodded
and smiled to those he could not reach.
Again turning he took his place Oh the
trap, apparently with less feeling than
those who were looking at him. AS
the bells were striking -, the drop fell
and in sixteen minutes he, not yet 20
years old, was pronounced dead.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. N--Thc rapid
advance In provisions, which has been
going on for the past three days, has
caused the suspension of Joseph Jones
& Sons, one OF the oldest Hrmsin Chi
cago and of Campbell & johnson. They
were chiefly interested In lard and
short clear ribs, and as the movement
In provisions has alarmed the shorts
there was a strong pressure to buy dur
ing the greater part of the day, and
consequently q sharp advance. The
grail. markets have also been strong,
and although outside prices were not
maintained to the close, there was no
visible weakness among holders, and
the comparative smallnesS of receipts
of grain has a tendency 10 still further
enhance values. Active business Is
