ONE MINUTE TOO LATE.
The Execution OF Sharpe and Mcdonnell,
the Mollio Mcguire Murdcrcrs, at ATnucii
Chunk, Pennsylvania.
MAUcH CHUNK. "a. Jan. i

]
MAUCH CHUNK, Pa, Jan. il.
The drop has just fallen. 10 q. m, and
the necks of Sharpe and Mcdonnell, :he
Moilie Mcguire murderers, have been
broken. a telegraphic reprieye has ar
rived, but one minute too late.
HARRISBURG, January Il.
Governor Hartranft, who returned
from Washington early this morning.
finally agreed to extend the time for the
execution Of Sharpe and Mcdonnell to
the 18th instant, but the news of the
execution, in answer to his telegraphic
| reprieve, of course prevented all further
efforts to save the men Nc hcIes we're
entertained of final pardon, and the
| Governor would only grant reprieve for
a few days. The Governor did not reach
his Office until quarter before 10. Amer
hearing the attorneys plea for respite,
he decided about half-past 10 O'Clock to
grant it. A telegram was then written and
hled in the Telegram Office Mt 1896, and
sent at 1896.
No further reason for TIE delay i'm is
suing the reprieve is given han the fact
that the Governor did not reach his of.
flee until the time above indicated.
which shows that very little time was
lost af.er hearing the reasons for the re-
i"cSC ioI INC TPpfiove.
MAUCH CHUNK, Jan. 14-9 y. m.
when the Governors reprieve arrived
at the Jail this morning scene Of intense
excitement occurred, but although the
culprits had only been hanging a few
minutes there was no movement made
toward cutting them down. The tele.
graph messenger reached the iail door
before the drop fell, but no heed was
taken of his knocking and ringing as the
wife of one of the culprits had previous
~ been extremely violent outside.
When the drop fell the knocking and
ringing continued, and the sheriff sent
out man to arrest the parties whom he
imagined to be creating disturbance.
1t was then found to be the telegraph
messenger with the reprieve. A brother
OF Mcdonnell, who had been kneel.
ing by the scafiold, arose and ~xcitedly
charged the sheriff and bystanders with
the murder of his brother. The excite
ment spread and the sheriff appealed to
one OF the priests, who exonerated him
from blame. Amidst this excitement,
the reproaches Of the maddened brother
OF Mcdonnell and the wailings of the
oereaved families outside, the culprits
seem TO have been forgotten and they
remained hanging for thirty minutes al.
ter the drop fell. There is no rcaso nable
doubt, however, that they were both
dead when the repricve came. After the
bodies were cut down, they were placed
IN collins and given to their families.
whose cries could be heard for several
blocks, adding greatly to the prevailing
excitement.

demanded.
Resolved, That copy these resolutions

WHY WILL YOU

Allow a cold to advance in your system
and thus encourage more serious maladies,
such as Pneumonia, Hemor1hages and Lung
troubles when an immediate relief can be
readily attained. Boschee's German Syrup
has gained the largest sale in the world for
the cure Of Coughs, Colds and the severest
Lung Diseases. 1t is DR.. Boschee's famous
German prescription, and is prepared with
the greatest care, and no fear need be enter
tanned in administering it to the youngest
child, as per directions. The sale of this
medicine is unprecedented. Since first in
troduced there has been a constant %increas-
ing demand, and without a single report of
a failure TO do its work in any case. Ask
your Druggist as to the truth of these re-
marks. Large size, Is cents. Try it and be
convinced.

INVADING INDIAN TERRITORY.
Chicago Times.

The legal status of the unappropriated
lands In Indian territory has been examin.
ed by the attorney general, who finds that
the treaty under which these lands were
repurchased from the Indians In 1865 ex-
pressly stipulates that they shall be ressr-
we'd for the use of other civilized tribes
that msy be removed to the territory. This
opinion of the attorney general may be
taken 40 q fair Offset for that Of q Baltimore
lawyer who lately furnished an argument
c%ontendinR that the lands in question are a
part of the public domain Of the United
States and subject to homestead entry. 1t
has been determined by tho administration
that no legal controversy will be engaged
in on the subject, but that sufficient militia.
~ force will be used t keep squstters Of
the lands, and expel from the territory any
who may enter it without authority. There
are twelve hundred soldiers now available
for this purpose. This information may bt
Of interest to persons proposing to joir

pose Of invading Indian territory.
