ADAM THOMPSON.
His Actions and How He Regards
the approach OF Death

the approach OF Death
Adam Thompson, who il to try the un-
known psth this afternoon at O'clock,
changes somewhat as his time draws to a
close. He was visited by HERALD reporter
yesterday morning. He greeted the reporter
with his usual cheerfulness. He had bad a
good nights rest and felt tolerably well.
His appetite had failed him, but he thought
1t Was because he had eaten something that
didn't agree with him, rather tnan wing to
his fulckened aental operations. He seemed
to have undergone complete mental meta
mOrphosis during the night, for his conversa-
ton was 50 pointed that the reporter was
surprised that Adams could express himself
SO forcibly. He talked right along. He
said he had lost all hope of living, and had
resigned himself to tho worst. External
objects had an effect on his senses this
morning that he was wholly unscq uainted
with before. Everything appeared 80
fantastic, curious and foreign to h,m that
was difficult for him to conceive that the
impressions came through the same channels
as formerly. Whether II was
foretaste ofwhst WAS TO come when the soul
WAS dive ted of the body or not, no Was not
able to say, but his reveries were so intense
that they were hard to break. As to re
lig'ou, it WAS thing wholly inoompre-
hensivs to him. He believed there was
supreme being which appeared to him like
justice personided, which he felt WAS ready
TO take charge of him when be left e.rln.
He said ho was innocent Of the crime for
which no was 20 be hanged, and that the
only confession he hal to make WAS printed
in the HERALD some time ago, aad ii WAS
all the confession tho newspapers
would get from him. Ho then retired
to u corner Of his cell, aud covering his eyes
with hls hand, began 20 sing Jesus, Lover
of My Soul" in a low tone. and the tears
trckled down his cheeks. The reporter then
left him. Sheriff Jones says the execution
will not be public at all. Only such MS are
prescribed by law will be admitted.

FOREIGN GHOSTS FOR
EVER"
The Fearful I threat Made Against
ChristlanlZed Chinese.

The Chinese helpers or Interpreters
connected with the Chinese Missions
in this city are in the habit of holding
missionary services, consisting of
reading the Scriptures, ezhortat;en
and singing, on Third street, near |,
each Sabbath afternoon, and their
meetings are generally quite largely
attended by their fellow countrYmen.
1t seems that some OF the disciples OF
Confuclus have, however, become
dissatisfied With the effect of these
meetings, and on Sunday last when
the leaders came to the usual place to
hold their services they found posted
up q large white piece of paper
covered with Chinese characters, and
which was a solemn warning from the
sdherents OF idol worship against
further efforts by their way ward
Celestial brethren to convert the Chi
nese to the ways OF Christianity. 1t
may not be generally known that q
white poster OF this class has toe

with skull and cross bones, would to

preachers that Christ is the Lord of

but something must be said to inform
the people against the new false re-
ligion. 1t lie learned from Christi
anity that Jesus was born only l e61
years ago, which proves that it is
false that he made the world; and
telling q falshood about this, they
cannot be believed about anything
else. Or, if Jesus was born before
the world was made, then there was
no world to bold him when he was
first born. or for him to be upon, and
his parents would have starved to
death. How is it that you fellows

a RUSSIAN HoRRoR.-Some days
ago Russian letters reported that III
persons had deem burned in barn.
Naturally the story was receivei with
increduIity, but the St. Petersburg

the bresd supplied bs the farm stew
ard alleging that it was unfit for food,
and threatening to leave of work.
After their dinner, thsy sill withdrew
to barn to rest during the hottest
period of the afternoon. The steward
locked them in and went away; soon
after four farmers came and set FIRE
to the barn. The fire spread rapidly
through the building, which was like
finder. and soon the whole barn was
in hsmee. The shrieks OF the unfor-
tunate prisoners soon brought som e
people to the spot. They could not
help them because the doors opened
inward, and already the mass of fran
tic women 90 jsmmed the doors from
within as 70 make any effort to open
them fruitless. Five wsmen were
taken out alive. but 90 fearfully
burned that they died almost imme-
diatel y. All the remaining ia per-
ished on the spet. One ct the incen
diaries went of and drowned himself
right away; the other three are 10

who set fire to the barn was TO free the
