depressed, and seemed to have presenti-
ment of his fate. He sent for Father Buh,
and was baptised ints the Catholic Church.
There can be no doubt that the boys mind

A CHASTITY OBJECT.
The body of Tibbets was hanging. when
the morning train passed through the VIII
lage. and furnished CHASTITY object OF Gu
riosity to the passengers. When the lynch
ers left the body il was hanging with Its
face away from the track. but freight
train came along. and some OF the train men
turned il around so that it faced the rail-
road. The face was CHASTITY pale, the feet
were within four inches OF the ground, the
hands were clenched, and the face distort-
ed, while the head was hanging Or one side
with the tongue protruding. The hands
were not tied. and there was nothihg over
the face. The knees were
COVERED WITH SAND,
caused either by dragging along, or kneel-
ing down begging for mercy that was not
shown him.
The Jail is badly injured, the outer door
heing torn from its hinges, and the bars on
the door of the cell in which llbbets was
contied are twisted out OF shape, ana the
lock is broken. The lynching was done
quietly, many of those living IN the Nlclnity
showing nothing of the affair I'LL morning.

COAL BY WIRE.
Dynamo Eleotri. Machines Operating Ma
ohinery at n Distance.

The proposal by Sir Henry Bessemer to
bring coal by wire, instead of by rail, is
very simple. Although coal is our great
agent in the production of motive power,
it must not be forgotten that Sir William
Thompson has clearly shown that by the
use of dynamo-electric machines workedby
the Falls of Niagara, motive power could
be generated to an almost unlimited extent
and that no less than 2G.25O horse power so
obtained could be conveyed to distance of
800 miles by means OF single copper wire
OF half an inch in diameter, with a loss in
transmission Of not more than 20 per cent,
and hence delivering at the other end of the
wire 2l000 horse power. Sir Henry eXclaims
"What a magnificent vista of legitimate
mercantile enterprise this simple fact opens
up for our own country Why should We
not at once connect London with one of
our nearest coal fields by means of copper
roe OF | inch In diameter, and capable of
transmitting l 900 horse power to London,
and thus practically bring up the coal by
wire instead OF by raily He supplies the
equivalent in coal of this amount OF motive
power Assuming that each horse power
can be generated by the consumption Of
three pounds of coal per hour, and that the
engines work six days and half per week
we should require an annual consumption
OF coal equal to l.Ol2, 600 tons to produce
such result. Now all this would in the
case assumed, be burned at the pits mouth
at the cost of IS per ton for large and Is per
ton for small coal-that is, at less than one
fourth the cost of coal in London. This
would immensely reduce the cost ofelectric
light. and OF the motive power now used in
London for such vast variety of purposes,
and at the same time save us from the enor-
nous volumes Of smoke and foul gases
which this 900, 900 tons of coal would make
If burned in our midst. A one-inch diane
ter copper rod would cost about s533 per
mile, and, ii laid to collicry i20 miles
away, the interest ut ) per cent on its first
cost would be less than Id per ton on the
coal practically conveyed by it direct into
the house of the consumer.

GUITEAU MUST DIE.
He now Ciings TO the single Chance of n
Pardon by the President-An Attempt

He now Clings to the Single Chance of n
Pardon by the President-An Attempt
to Bribs the Guard.
During the past week all intercourse be-
tween Guiteau and the outer world has been
restricted to visits from his spiritual advis-
er. Rev. w. W. Hicks, of the Methodist
Tabernacle, and his guards, one of the lat
his cell, in order to watch and report every
movement. He has apparently lost faith in
his counsel. Chas. ii. Reed. and persists in
clinging to the belief that President Arth-
ur will assist him at the last moment. The
reports that have been published concern
ing his weakness and general breaking
down are emphatically denied by Warden
Crocker; who says that on the contrary the
assassin's appetite was never better, and
that he Is so well satisfied with prison fare
that he has not once asked for any of the
luxuries, u privilege usually accorded pris-
oncrs condemned to death. He manifests
his intense selfshness and utter disregard
for getting other people into trouble. His
latest exploit was an attempt to bribe one
of the guards of the death watch to take a
him $50 for the service. The offer, altho'
ostensibly accepted, only resulted in re-
port of the circumstance to Gen. Crocker,
who issued strictcr orders relative to the
assassin. Speaking of the affair, Gen. Crock
er said that il served to show how little
Guiteau cared for others, for although he
knew that the taking of a brbe would sub
ject the guard TO instant dismissal, he had
not hesitated to avail himself of what he
hnn W "A nnnprtnnitN n word
to the President in his own interest. The
opinion prevails at the Jail that the prison
er's bravado will sustain him in his last
hours, and that if he could be assured that
his execution would be witnessed by a
large crowd of spectators that he would die
as game as any man ever did, his desire for
notoriety still being unappeascd. Nothing
definite has as yet been agreed upon rela-
tive to the details of the execution, except
that the attendance will be limited to the
number prescribed by law. Warden Crock
er, however. is authority for the statement
that il an order was received at the Jail at
10 O'Clock in the morning to hang Guiteau
at 10 O'Clock IL could be carried out, and the
body prepared for burial. The minister, Rev
Mr.. Hicks, whom the assassin has selected
for his spiritual adviser. has only been here
about year, and has charge of new
church erected by disatiected Methodist
congregation who struck of from their reg
ular place of worship because Conference
sent them minister whom they did not
like. Guiteau has developed considerable
friendship for Mr.. Hicks, and although his
acquaintance with the minister is not over
week old, he appears anxious to have him
spend as much time as possible IN his cell.
The prisoner has also shown a desire to
study his bible more closely than heretofore.
and 1t is with desire that his meditations
shall not be disturbed, that such rigid or
ders have been issued against allowing him
| TO receive visitors.

A LIVELY CIRCUS.
A Fatal Array at Southwest City, NO. over
an Unpaid Circus license.


News reached Neosho, Mo, of a terrible
shooting which had occurred at Southwest
CITY, Mcdonald county, Mo-, in which one
man lost his life, and two others were seri-
ously wounded. James Browns Circus ar
rived in that city and pitched their tents to
give an exhibition. They made no applica-
ton to the city authorities for license "A
few minutes before the performance was TO
be gin-the Mayor instructed Deputy sherih
Joseph Seaborn to collect the city license,
or not permit the show to be given. Sea-
born proceeded to the grounds where Brown
was selling tickets, and notified him In
gentlemanly manner that he must pay the
city license or move out OF the city limits
to show. Brown, in an angry manner, toiu
him to 20 to -; he knew his business, and
would't pay a. cent more, but would
give the performance or swim in blood.
Brown then called three actors.to him, gave
each "A Colts navy, and Instructed them,
should the authorities attempt to stop the
performance. to shoot them like dogs.
Seaborn returned to the Mayors office,
procured writ for Brown, and summoned
David Robinson to help make the arrest
ON their arrival at the circus tent they
were met by an actor named Mcbride, who
demanded that they proceed no further. at
the same time drawing a pistol and in
threatening manner pointed it toward Sea-
born. Seaborn then drew his six-shooter,
but before he could use IL Mcbride shot him
in the breast. Almost instantly Seaborn
commenced firing at Mcbride, the first shot
taking effect in his breast, causing him to
drop his pistol and turn and run. Seaborn
continued to fire. shooting Mcbride three
times in the back as he ran. Mcbride re-
ceiyed four balls in his body, causing death
in few minutes.
While Seaborn was firing at Mcbride one
of the circus men shot at him, accidentally
wounding Robinson in the knee.
Brown and two of his actors are In Jall
awaiting trial. Soaborn IS badly wounded,
but there is chance of his recovery. Rob
inson is not seriously hurt.

LABOR TROUBLES.
The situation Stated by Mr. Joseph Weeks

citation.

citation.
Mr.. Joseph Weeks, one of the editors of
the Iron and Steel Association, is from
Pittsburg, and in conversation stated that
all of the iron-works, with the exception
of two. had shut down in Pittsburg, and he
believed that one of them had signed the
scale and resumed paying union wages.
When asked what would be the result OF
the present labor trouble, he stated that
the manufacturers west OF the Allegheny
Mountains, and the manufacturers be-
lieyed they would win, and the laborers
thought they would come out victorious.
Manufacturers were united, and believed
that the men were unjustihable in making
the present demands. There were no
workingmen. on the other hand, who did
not believe that their demand was just.
There was a certain class OF workmen who
did not believe the condition of trade JUS
tilted the demand. The prices asked for
were regulated by the Iron and Steel As
sociation, who regulate the prices by
sliding.scale, that is, when iron goes up,
wages go up, and when iron goes down
any serious trouble resulting from the
present move. Why, Eastern papers sent
reporters out there to write up the riots,
which was most absurd. The trouble in
Milwaukee, of which you know, in my
opinion was not occasioned by or partici-
pated in by any Of the workers of the Iron
and Steel Association, ior they are not So
cialistic or communistic. The instigators
of the trouble had an Interior object look
ing toward the benefit Of communism. In
my belief the manufacturers will remain
firm in this matter"
