A MURpEREK REsPIrED.
Michael o'RourIe Respited Until Jan.
uary ., Next.


HAMILTON, ONT, June I'm January
last an unprovoked and most brutal double
murder occurred in the township OF Nelson,
about ten miles from this city. a young
man named Michael O'Rourke visited II
cottage occupied by an old man named
Edward Maher, aged 81, and with All axe
chopped him and mis- daughter to pieces.
The utmost excitement prevailed among
the residents surrounding, and an attempt
was made to lynch the assassin, who WIS
arrested soon after the crime and lodged in
Milton jail. Never was evidence al trial
clearer us to the guilt of the accused, and in
March last he was found guilty aud sen
fenced to be hanged on the 5th of June.
To-day the utmost surprise was created
by the action of the Minister of Justice, who
has granted respite to the murderer until
the 5th of January next. General election
is pending, and the conservative govern
ment finds itself in strait, owing to certain
appointments to the Government and Senate
unpopular with the Catholic par+y, and the
leniency to i0'RourlSe is considered to be Il
bid for the Catholic vote.

THE DOUBLE EXECUTION,

Hanging next Friday of Milt and Sam
Hodge, for the Murder of Mcfarland.
The days of Milt and Sam Hodge, color
ed, bothers, convicted of the murder at
Black Oak Ridge, in Sept 1881, of their
brother-in-law, James Mcfarland are mum
bered, and that number is dwindling down
fine. By the affirmation of their sentence
at the present term of the Supreme Court,
the date of the execution was fixed for Fri
day, Nov. 10th, 1882.
For some little time after the final SEN
tence there was some talk of an effort to Sc
cure pardon from the Governor, but no
definite action was taken in that
direction. Both the doomed men seem
to have become entirely resigned to their
fate. Both have made professions of re-
hgion, and they have had daily visitations
and ministrations, especially during the
past week, by different colored ministers, as
well as by members of the Young Mems
Christian Association and other Christian
men. They appear to be reconciled and at
podCo, uoFOlluS uuCQ LlIu0 each Gay 10 O6-
votional exercises, and express them
selves prepared for the end. In
fact they expressed the wish last Sunday
that the day was last Friday, instead of
next. Sam, who was quite sick for some
time, including the time of the trial in the
Supreme Court, has recovered, and both are
in reasonably good health. Every attention
necessary is given them by the worthy
sheriff and his efficient jailer and assistants.
The site selected by Sheriff Homer Gil
mer, for the execution, is in the swag
about three hundred yards from the end of
the bridge, south of the river, and the scat
fold will be erected. According to the ar
rangement, the condemned men will be
started from the jail about half past IL
o'clock p. m, on Friday. and the execution
will take place between the hours of one
and two.
This will be Sheriff Gilmore's first expe-
rience in that line. The last execution in
Knoxville was that of John Webb, by Sher-
if NJ. D. Swan, in 1875.

NONPAREIL.
Impartial Verdicts.

1t is with pleasure and great satisfaction
that the firm of Foss & Schneider can
submit to the public the following impair
tial verdicts regarding the qualities of the
''Nonpareil" Export Lager Beer:
''NoNPAREIL" ON THE SEA
Messrs Foss & Schneider, Queen City Brew
cry, Cincinnati, O.:
GENTLEMEN Having returned from Eu-
rope, we take pleasure in informing you
that pour 'fNonpareil' Export Lager,
which we had aboard our German pioneer
excursion steamer ''Suevia," has glori-
ously stood the many tests it was subjected
to; and the ''Nonparell' was ever preferred
to the many different kinds of German and
American beers we had aboard This, how
ever, was not astonishing, as though your
beer had not previously undergone the
steaming process, and when, upon our ar
rival in Hamburg, it was submitted to the
most critical test at most thorough German
beer gardens, and was pronounced by them
beer pure and Strengthening, never equaled
ana not TO De competed Wltn-
The 'tNonparel" was really as clear and
palatable on the very last day of our jour
ney as it was in the very first hour of de-
parture from here; while various kinds OF
beer became sour and unpleasant, your
''NonpareiP' always preserved its beautiful
amber color, clear as crystal and mos
pleasing taste. Most gratifying are the
recollections, when several of our friends
were annoyed by the troublesome attacks
of sea sickness, and speedily relieved BY
the invigorating qualities of your 'sNo n
pareiP' Export Lager Beer.
With pleasure we certify that, for purit y
and strength, the ''Nonpareir' Export Lage,
Beer cannot be excelled or esteemed tot
highly. Respectfully,
FRANK A. GREvER,
NJ BETTMANN,
ANTHONY RINsoHLER,
WILLIAM MEEK.
Cincinnati, August %, 1882.
P. Shaving taken four bottles of you
''Nonpareip' Export Lager with me to
Nurnberg, it was subjected to the criticism
of the most competent brewers and hoI
dealers, and I am glad to assert that the
''NonpareiP was pronounced something
unusual, in regard to its brilliancy, purity
and invigorating qualities.
Yours, truly, M. BETTMANN.

Significant Letter from Governor
Hoyt.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November g.
Governor Hoyt, of Pennsylvania, has
written a significant letter to Whare
ton Baker, of Philadelphia, in re-
ply to an invitation to preside at
meeting of the independent Repub~
licans in that city tonight. Ex-
pressing hearty sympathy with the
independent Republican movement,
Governor Hoyt says: When reflect
upon the humiliation put upon my
self as chief magistrate for resisting
some of the purposes of the machine
which puts politics above administers
tive prosperity, and when I reflect
upon the force of the insulting
methods applied TO myself by means
of threats, intrigue and bad faith, I
realize Cardinal WolseJ's regret that
he had only served his God with
half the zeal he had his king"
In the name of decency and in be-
half of my successor, I wish to en-
Dbasize the curse Of the whole busi-
ness and sound note of warning to
the whole people. Peace will never
come until the moral forces III poll
tics, which you have organized, pre-
vail, and they certainly will prevail
In the future, the halls of the
State house at Harrisburg will no
longer resound with the tread of
claquers, hastily sent to summon self
respecting and honorable delegates
of the people to base submission to
slated tickets and prearranged pro-
grammes, threatened with ostracism,
IN case OF Noncompliance, or sent
home dishonored, to face their an
cry constituents whom they have
betrayed and thus will be dethroned
the power before which have
been compelled to bow all who
have sought honors or promotion at
the hands Of Republican constitu-
cies. With your ultimate success will
have been made an exhibition OF
moral courage IN our State and the
reaping of beneficial results from
peaceful methods, which shall more
grandly than ever demonstrate the
capacity of the people for self
government.
