A WOMAN HANGED.


She Meets her Fate with Calm Courage.
WINDSOR, VT, March 3O.-Mrs. Meaker,
who was executed this afternoon, slept
sOundly last night and after breakfast
ing, in accordance with a request made
yesterday to see the gallOws, was led out
by the Sheriff this morning to examine
it. She closely scrutinized every part
of the structure, ascended the steps of
the scaffOld above with firm tread and
without emotion, and inquired Of the
Sheriff If she would be required to climb
the fatal stairs unassisted at the final
moment. She looked into the working
of the drop with an air of morbid Curl
Osity and cycling the trap she asked. els
that the place" After returning to her
quarters she was visited by the chaplain
and manifested the most stOlid indif-
ference, but later on was visited by
Sheriff AthertOn, when she inquired
after husband and daughter, and then
with much agitation said, "Tell them
am to be murdered to-day; l am an in
nOcent woman"
She alluded to her sons confession as
lie and said he had brought her to the
gallOws. When AthertOn rose to leave
her she began to cry and kissed his right
hand twice and sending her love to the
folks at home, she cried, Goodbye!
GOOd-byep as he left.
Mrs. Meaker was hung at 1875 this
afternoon. She persisted to the last that
she was innocent.
Mrs. Meaker ate hearty dinner. Her
son AlmOn was left in his cell. Mrs.
Meaker's arm were pinioned before she
left her cell and the procession moved to
the gallOws w1ere she was seated in a
chair and evidently did not like the
crowd. After prayer by the chaplain
the Sheriff handed her paper with
these words "Emlilne Meaker, if you
have anything to say why execution of
the sentence should not take place, you
have now an opportunity" This was
done on account Of her defense.
She was calm and pale and sat with
closed eyes. Good bye, Mr.. Hull" she
said; 81 have nothing more to say; only
forgive you for hanging me-"
Her legs were then tied, she standing
all the time. Sbe showed no signs of
trembling and said, May God forgive
you all" The drop fell at half past one.
After hanging thirty minutes she was
taken down dead.

had intended. One of the first messages
of cOngratulatiOn was from the King of
Bavaria.
Great excitement caused at Liverpool
by what Is said to be another attempted
Fenian outrage. The police have found
the Springer street bonded warehouse
flooded with spirits, the bungs being re-
NOV ed from the casks The intention is
said to have been to fire the liquor.
CINCINNATI, March 30.-A land slide
near Mason, on the Cincinnuti Southern
Railroad, this morning threw the north
bound passenger train from the track.
Sixty persons are reported injured; none
killed. The place Of the accident is
forty miles from here. A train has gone
to bring In the wounded.
PITTsBURG, March 90.-Last Wednes-
day afternoon, William Pritch, OF Stowe
township, In a drunken rage, fatally
shot young man by the name Of jack
son Yessemer. A number of boys and
men were tOrmenting Pritch who, after
submitting for time, pulled revolver
andlfred with the above result.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Charles Will
liam Beaver, cOlOTed youth, was hanged

breakfast. The condemned boy walked
firmly to the scaffOld and as the black
cap was drawn said, Farewell friends
and fellow creatures" The trap was
sprung at 6:52 and his neck was broken
by the fall. Beaver yesterday signed a
written confession of his crime.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, March 3O.-At one
o'clock Thursday morning, at Boone
Vile, Simon Williams shot and killed
jackson Wallace, in saloon. They had
been quarreling during the day but it
had been settled to the satisfaction of
all except young Wallace, who renewed
the quarrel at night. Williams was not
arrested until 10 o'clock in the morning,
but last night the feeling was so strong
against him that he was brought to this
city and confined in the county Jail in
charge of the Sheriff for safe keeping.

OTHER STATE ELECTIONS.

DETROIT, April, 2.-The election held
in this State to-day was for two Supreme
Court Judges, and two regents for the
State University. The Democrats and
Greenbackers united on a fusion ticket,
dividing the candidates equally between
them. The returns indicate a reduced
vote as compared with the fall election.
The result cannot be stated definitely
tonight, but it seems probable that
John W. Champlin, Fusion, and Thomas
0'Brien Republican, were chosen Judges,
and the same division of regents. In
this city the election for six members
of the Board of Education resulted in
the election of straight Democratic
ticket, the majOrities ranging from 100
to 800.
EVANSVILLE, April 2.-The Democrats
have carried all the wards except one,
and have elected a Democratic Mayor,
Treasurer and Surveyor by majOrities
ranging from 500 for Mayor to small
majOrities in some wards for Council
men.
DUBUQUE, April 2.-The city election
resulted in the success of the entire
DemOcrotic ticket. Fred 0'DOnneI's
majority for Mayor will be 1000,

ler's answers were evidently strongly
made, as he knit his eyebrows and look
ed Kellogg fairly in the face as he spoke.
1t Is well known here that Kellogg
banks heavily on his political cOnnec-
tiOns for leniency in his trouble. He
told friend he would not have been in
dicted had the attorney general been
here at the time, OF If any other than
rabid democrats had control Of the PEN
ding cases. He doesn't believe a Re-
publican administration dare prosecute
a Republican Congressman. He doesn't
believe, also, that Secretary Chandler is
as much in sympathy with him as he
should be, and 1t Is presumed he made
bitter complaints when he talked to the
Secretary today. When one in his plight
seeks his political friends for political
influence, 1t may be presumed he is a
little frightened. And yet there seems
to be nobody In Washington who be-
lieves that these last indictments will
ever come to trial.

OHIO WOOL GROWERS.
A Strong Protest Against the Wool Item I'm
the Tariff Bill.

the Tar1n Bill.
COLUMBUS, o., March 30.-The Ohio
Wool Growers Association met to-day
in the office of the State Board of Agri-
culture, with President Columbus De-
lanO in the chair. Forty-seven members
were present. The report of the COM
mittee sent to Washington to oppose the
wool feature in the tariff bill was read
and commended. 1t gave in detail the
action Of the committee while In Wash
ingtOn, and demonstrated in strong
language the injustice done to the wool
growers by the tariff legislation, in re-
spect to raw wool by the reduction
thereon, while there was general in
crease in favor of manufacturers of
WOOlens.
The president made report in regard
to his efforts to induce Senator Sherman
to vote against the bill, and said that
they expected Sherman to vote in their
favor; that the defeat was brought about
by the consolidated wooden manufac-
turing interests of New England, and
that in all his experiences in Congress
he had never seen so strong lobby as
there was in behalf of the passage of
the bill. The bill has been passed by a
cOmmunate stroke on the part of it's ad-
vOcates, by taking 1t up out of its regu-
lar order and crOwding it through.
Resolutions were adopted strongly
cOndemnatOry of the action of Congress
on the wool question, especially as to its
bearing against the wool growing inter-
estS of the State and country.

How the Work of Counting the Cash VIII
be Contaminated.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The commit
tee appointed to examine the cash in
the u. 8. Treasury. and accounts of the
late Treasurer, began work after the
close of business Saturday, by making
count of the teller's cash, so that there
need be no interference with the busi-
ness of the Office. The reserve vault
was also sealed up preparatory to taking
an inventory of its contents. It is sup
posed the count will occupy two OF three
weeks. There has not been thorough
overhauling of the Treasurer's office for
ten years, the last full examination was
made during Treasurer Spinner's time.
But the Secretary thinks so long a time
has intervened since the last count that
one should now be made. The commit
tee will be assisted in the work by a
force of twenty to thirty clerks detailed
from the office other than the Treasuf-
er's Office. The count will be made of
old notes in the redemption division,
new notes in the reserve avult, silver
and gold and bonds held in trust.

WALLACE WILL WIN.
Testimony Showing that He Was Legally
Elected to Congress.

Special to the Plain Dealer
CANTON, o., March 40.-FOr the past
few days testimony was taken i'll this
city in the WallaceMcKinley contested
election case for Congress in this dis
trict. Nearly thirty witnesses were ex-
amined, and it was shown that five per-
sons voted for Wallace in the wrong
wards, which McKtnley's attorneys
claim are illegal, but Mr.. N. B. Billingsly,
attorney for Wallace, says they are not,
as the city was Tedistricted just before
the election and these men voted by
mistake in the wards they were formerly
residents of. He is confident these votes
cannot be thrown out. To the Plain
Dealer representative Mr.. Billingsly
said: 81 am inclined to believe that
Wallace will be given seat in the next
Congress-" In his opinion only one
illegal vote has been shown in this city
and this was of an ignorant German
who voted and never became citizen
of the United States. Next week deposit
tions will be taken in Alliance and other
places in this county. Messrs. N. B.
Billingsly, of New Lisbon, and City So
licitOr Welty appeared for Wallace,
while Mckinley was represented by W.
r. Day and G.. +. Baldwin, both of this
city.

Panper Immigration.

large delegation Of prominent Irish
citizens OF the United States visited the
President recently to protest against the
policy OF the British Government in ship.
ping Irish paupers to this country. The
principal argument was made BY Sullivan,
President of the Irish American Land
League Some Of his statements, the truth
ut which is undoubted, ought to be burned
into the brain Of the people OF the United
States. AS, that the British Government
has systematized this expatrition Of the
Irish whom its brutal treatment has reduc.
cd to pauperism to our shores, burden
upon our municipalities; that there is
tandof 100000 set apart for this purpose;
that in the main the expatriated are help
less children and decrepit old men and
women; that their deck passage i. paid by
England, and beggarly allowance OF $40
given to each on landing here to enable
them "to reach their friends;' and that
while lrish.Amcrican citizens are yearly
sending to Ireland $s,ooo,ooo to aid the
poor there, the British Government, whose
tolerance and encouragement to foreign
landlordism have caused the great distress
among the Irish, so far from doing anything
substantial toward helping them, is actually
drawing $3o,ooo,ooo year in revenue from
ireland for the support OF the imperial
Government over and above its exl'endi'
lures for Ireland.
