Rheims Holtz had felt perfectly confident that President Grevy would pardon him. Last night he was playing cards with his jailer until 8 late hour. At two o'clock in the morning M. Siebler, the executioner, ar- rived by rail from Paris attended by two aides. The guillotine, which had also been brought from Paris, was left at the railroad station and M. Dichler drove to the prison at four o'clock in the morning. The director of the prison, accompanied by the Griefder and the executioner, Des Hautes Euvres, entered Holtz's cell and read the judgment of the cour de cessation. Holtz was then carried by an attendant to the chapel where mass was performed and he made confession to M. L'Abbe Le Jean. The religious ceremony ended Holtz was dressed in black, his hair cut short and his arms and legs tied together with six metres of stout rope. He was placed in cart and escorted by platoon of gendarmes and driven to the horsemarket near the cemetery where five thousand people had assembled. The most of them had bivouacked all night so as to witness the sight and strangely enough wom- en and girls were in an overwhelming major ity. The cart with Holtz in halted at the guillotine. Monsieur Diebler and his aides took hold of Heltz, rolled his shirt collar down to his shoulders and lifted him onto the block, pressing his head forward.

 State Officers. THEFIGHT FOR FIRST PLACE IA Sharp Fight Between the

NEW YORK.

The Republican COnventiOn-Old Officers To be Renomfnated.
 R1oHF1ELD SPRINGS, Sept. 18.-The Re- publican State convention to be held to-mor- row will be slimly attended and will be a cut and dried affair so far as the ostensible ob- ject of the gathering is concerned. This object is announced to be the nomination of Republican candidates for State officers other than those of governor and lieutenant gov ernor. The State committee has had several meetings this evening for the purpose of arranging prelimRaries- So far as can bO learned it has been
 arranged to renominate the present State officers with the exception of treasurer.
 MT. Maxwell, the present Democratic treas urer, will of course not be renominated. Several names have been under consideration for the place. Joseph Seligman, the rich New York banker, has been strongly urged as 8 man whose nomination would greatly strengthen the ticket in New York city. Henry L. Sprague of the Thirteenth New
 York district and Pliny T. Sexton are being urged. The favorite candidate until 10 D.
 m. to-day was Stephen J. Wendover, kbut at that hour the Columbia county delegation
 formally withdrew his name. It is not be-
 lieved that anything will be done in the con-
 vention to.morrow except the completion of
 temporary organization. The plan is to
 then adjourn until Thursday out of respect to
 the memory of the late President Garfield, to-
 morrow being the anniversary of his death.
 Events will probably show that the great re-
 suit of the present convention will be the
 decision that President ArthAr is to be the
 Republican candidate for the presi-
 dency in 1884. The struggle will
 be to secure an Arthur State committee
 and the probabilities are that this will be easily accomplished under the recent ruling of the Republican National convention.
 Hereafter State delegates to the National convention will not be subject to instructions by State conventions This being the case these delegates will be left free except
 in so far as they can be controlled by their districts or by the influence of the persons who secure their election. This will throw into the hands of the State com
 mittee unusual power, so much so that the complexion of the State delegations
 may practically be controlled by the State commitsee instead of as heretofore by the
 State convention. Hence it is that the prin-
 cipal business of the present convention will
 will be making of 8 new State committee.
 neS p1S state GSeA ticket will be psrfu1otory @ as
 the majority of the delegates here admit that there is hardly any hope of electing the Republican State ticket, although the Repub-
 licans hope to cut down the present Demo
 cratic majority in the Legislature to mil
 nority.

BRooK1xN, Sept. 18.-On the top floor of the four story brick building No. 49 Fulton street in the rooms occupied by Mrs. Eliza beth Keemlo, shortly before one o'clock this afternoon, horrible case of murder and sui eide occurred. It appears that MT. James Keemlo, Methodist minister residing at Newark, N. J., and his wife Francis, paid visit to his mother at the above number. Mrs. Keemlo was just preparing dinner and left her son and his wife in the house while she went to the grocery. During her absence a quarrel must have arisen and the husband seizing large butcher knife which was lying on the table stabbed his wife in the neck. He then drew the knife across his throat and jumped out the window, sustaining fatal in- juries,
