THE Buffalo Commercial believes the
struggle between the friends of the two
strongest candidates, Grant and Blaine,
will be fought out manfully, but it will end
at the Chicago Convention. The admirers

Between IL and IL o'clock A. NJ,
Friday, Sheriff Bastian performed the
painful official duty of reading to
George Smith and Mrs. Catharine
Miller the warrants for their execution
which he has hadiin his possession for
some time. They had previously
been informed of the fact that the
warrants were here, and hence were
not wholly unprepared for what was
to come. Mrs. Miller was first taken
into the large room on the southeast
corner of the Jail, second floor, it
being better lighted than her own cell.
Although she has pretty we'll recov-
cred from her recent illness, she does
not look healthy. She has grown
op-shouldered and has bad cough
She took seat upon the cot, and the
sheriff, after informing her of the
painful duty he was required to per-
form, proceeded to read the warrant
fixing the 9Th day of January for her
execution. Mrs. Miller became agi-
tated as the reading progressed, and
was sobbing freely when it was con-
cluded. The sheriff addressed her a
few words of kindly advice, urging her
not to indulge in any hopesi Of escape
from the doom pronounced against her.
While wiping the tears from her eyes,
Mrs. Miller exclaimed: II hope I'll not
live till the day" She was then
taken back to her own room and
Smith was brought into the large cell.
The sheriff at once read his warrant
to him and alsosgave him advice simi-
lar to that given Mrs. Miller. When
he told him not to count upon any
escape, Smith answered: II haven't
/ don't" The sheriff urged him tc
be prepared for the worst, to which he
responded that he was so prepared
He conversed briefly with the visitors
before going back to his cell. Thos,
present during the interviews wert
