GrITEAr WILL be hanged tomorrow, and
thousands Of people, to the remotest genera
ton, will believe that in him mailman
was sent to the gallows. The President has
audacity enough to violate every promise
he made regarding his intention of follow
ing the course laid out by his predecessor,
but refuses to let a commission of scientist
examine Guitcau lest some might possibly
say he was partial to the man who gave him
his office. But there is 4 vast difference
between audacity and moral courage With
regard to the eager desire Of the American
people, as reflected in the press of the coun.
try, to have Gutcau hanged before the com
mission referred to has passed upon his
mental condition, it can only be said that
their mercy has not kept equal pace with
their advance in science

voravle to war it is believed it will not

all they want. He said the demands OF
the Rock Island were unreasonable. The
earnings of his road during the week

Elizabeth, Pa, Nov. 25-A terrible ex-
plosion of dynamite occurred at Belle
view, two miles from here, Yesterday,
killing one person and seriously irjuring
several more. 1t appears that q coal
miner named Forsythe took several sticks
of dynamite home for the purpose of
fishing, and not knowing it's dangerous
qualities, placed it in the oven Of the
kitchen stove to thaw out. He went to
work, and his wife and three children sat
down to dinner. In about fifteen min
utes loud report was heard, and a
ghastly spectacle met his gaze. The
house was completely wrecked and his
wife and children we're lying insensible
on the ground, horribly mangled. The
youngest child, aged fve, was dead, and
the wife, who was sitting near the stove
was gashed and bruised and presented
the appearance Of person riddlet
with buckshot. She was still living, bu
her injuries are such that death i
inevitable. The other two children wer
considerably bruised and cut, but no
fatally hurt. The sight nearly craze
the father, and he attempted to commi
suicide, but was prevented by friends.
