The demon, according to Warden Crocker,
das become as docile as lamb; doesn't insist
u7nn having his own way as he dld during the
trial, and does what lie is ordered to do without
a murmur. He has lost much Of his accus
toned bravado, and does not become so excited

ae does not believe any man under the sentence
II Death ever more fully appreciated the awful
situation than the condemned He has be-
come verv much depressed in spirits and shows
: He behaves with perfect decorum, and
there is not sign Of insanity IN his converse

seeing visitors now altogether, sHd this seems

Gen. Crocker SAYS that the conduct of the pris-
oner is and has been since the verdict Of the
Jury, entirely different when only the Jail Of
ficisls, his brother, or Scoville have been with
him, or when newspaper reporters have been
present No time, except in the presence Of
reporters, or those whom he took to be news
paper men, has he assumed the air of conf

The Barbed Wire Fight.
The Farmers Protective association of lows
has issued an address to its patrons declaring
its purpose to continue the contest with the
barbed wire monopoly and clos
ing with the following statement Of its success
in manufacturing wire:
As financial investment the result thus
far has been satisfactory. Before we began to
furnish wire to our members the retail price
had been established by the monopoly at 10
cents per pound for painted wire and Il cents
for galvanized. There is no reason to believe
that these prices would have been reduced il
we had not attacked the combination in their
most vulnerable point Our association has
demonstrated that with untrammeled competi-
ton in the manufacture. the same quality of
barbed wire can aud will be sold for cents
per pound less than the monopoly prices.
The total expense Of our association for a.
torney's fees, securing evidence and contin-
direct saving to our members Of 2s4 cents per
pound on 100000 pounds furnished them
amounts to 81, 425, more than double the total
cost Of the association; while the indirect saving
by bringing down the price Of the monopoly wire
to those who did not buy OF Us has been many
times this amount
Shooting ARRAY in Washington.
A shooting affair occurred ct about $50
o'clock Thursday night in the editorial rooms
of the National Republican Of Washington.
No one saw the occurrence except the
parties interested, although Frank B. Con-
ger, son Of the Michigan senator, was in the
Immediate vincinity at the time. The true
state of the case is therefore difficult to arrive
at The result is that A. M. Soltedo, q we'll
known but not very reputable journalist ia
probably fatally shot, and Clarence Barton,
news editor of the Rel pubican, is wounded BY
two bullets; but it is believed not dangerously.
There has been bad blood between Soltedo
and Barton for some time, owing to the pub
lication Of an account of adisgraceful brawl in
. house of ill-fame, about two months ago, be-
tween Soltedo and police officer. The row
resulted in q prosecution and counter suit in
the police court between Soltedo and the police
man, all of which was published in detail in
the Republican.
