Good Bye. John"

About five o'clock last evening Jailor
Thompson fastened the steel shoe upon
the right foot Of John NJ. Foster, in the
ante.room Of the Jail, preparatory to his
journey to Folsom State Prison, to serve
out life sentence for the murder of
Henry G. Amadon, on the morning of
September 25th, 1888. Before leaving
the jail the murderer desired to bid
good bye to his paramour, Mrs. ANA
don, and her sister, Mira. Greenleaf.
When all the details were completed,
the Jailor finding moment to spare,
escorted the murderer to the cell of his
companions, Mrs. Amadon and Mrs.
Greenleaf, to bid them good bye. Fos-
ter and Mrs. Anadon embraced and
kissed ZACH other, and Mrs. Amadon
handed him piece of white paper,
which he hastily put in his pocket, a
proceeding which was very suspicious
and should not have been tolerated.
The paper may have been harmless and
| climate, but cases are SO common in
VIII cl the paper has been dipped in
poison in order to give the prisoner a
chance to cheat the gallows, that the
permission of exchanging cards or pa
'pers should be strictly prohibited among
prisoners.
Foster thrust the precious missive in
his pocket, in face Of the inprovised
tears of his paramour, and marched off
to the hack, which was in charge of
Deputy Sheriff Geo. P. Nolan, who
escorted him to the train and thence to
the Folsom State Prison, where he will
have ample opportunity to repent of his
infamous crimes, during period in
which he may be Of some use in the
world. Public opinion is we'll satisfied
with this disposition of the villain, and
devout hope was expressed that no
Governor would be SO remiss in his obli-
cations as to pardon the prisoner from
his life of penal servitude.

persons and large amount of capital to
Southern California. 1t will add to the
value of real estate all over the country.
The Raymond will be advertised in 500
different newspapers, and all New Eng
land excursions will make it their prin-
cipal place of resort. The name of the
hotel will be on every handbill and
ticket issued to excursionists, and it will
be the best advertised house in America.
Owing to representations made to Mr..
Raymond from parties in the San Ga
briel valley about such an enterprise, he
was induced to come ont here and he is
more than pleased with the prospect,
He is man of great energy and fertile
of resources, and can carry forward the
good work without hindrance. He is
fortunate in securing the assistance Of
Mr.. A. Fl. Gluck, who has become
known all over the land by the matchless
manner in which he has conducted the
International Hotel at Niagara Falls.
Mr.. Gluck, with his capital, his good
Judgment, vast experience and tried and
trusted domestics and italian cooks, will
all be brought to the new hotel, and that
means more than appears on the surface.
Few people know how to run ht til.
Mr.. Gluck is one who does know how,
as all can testify who ever stopped at his
International, and he will exceed the In
ternational in our beautiful land, be-
cause he can take advantage of certain
advantages of climate and production
here which the chilly region of Niagara
does not possess. The beginning of the
Raymond is the beginning OF new era
in this section. 1t win bring visitors
here who will buy our products and en-
rich the country, and give an impetus
to the progress of the land that will be
felt all over this section of the State.

the English Channel, from Dover to Calais,
on wager. The press boat, lugger, accom-
panied the swimmer across the channel. 1t
contained representatives of the London
Times and Standard and the English press
generally. Full reports were published
throughout the United Kingdom and the
United States. A purse of So, 900 was made
up by contributions from all parts of the
world
Captain Webb is familiar with this coun-
try, having frequently been here. Soon
after his arrival he proceeded to look about
him, and his taste running in an aquatic
channel, he brought up at Niagara Falls.
On this trip he was accompanied by his man
ager, Fred Kyle, of Boston, in whose
hands he placed himself soon after
coming to America. A thorough inspection
of the river was made by Webb and Kyle,
the man-killing character of the whirlpool
rapids fully investigated, and at length a de-
cision was arrived at which was announced
through the press on June r. that the un-
dertaking which has cost him his life would
take place to-day. 1t was expected that the
railroads would run excursion trains and
give him percentage on the receipts, but
the officials refused to have anything to do
with the matter. They did not believe that
the Captain would attempt the feat, and if
he did they considered that certain death
awaited him. Having, however, proclaimed
his intention, Captain Webb felt in honor
bound, as he said last evening, to keep his
word, as matter of professional pride, so
that no reflection would be cast on his cour-
age or ability.
He leaves wife and two children, who are
provided for, however, as he was man Of
good habits, and had saved about $15, 900.

The Body Not Yet Recovered.

NIAGARA FALLS, Ont, July 25.-Up to 10
O'Clock tonight nothing more had been
learned as to the fate of Captain Webb In
reply to the inquiries before setting out on
his fatal swim, he said he first thought of
swimming the rapids last year, when Cap
tain Paul Boyton was talking of doing it;
however, it was only lately that he resolved
upon attempting it. He came to the falls
on the first of July and examined the
course, and then made up his mind. When
the rumor which had been circulated that
he would go over the falls in a rubber ball
was referred to, he gave merry laugh, ana
said the man who made that
statement should be put into
rubber ball himself and
sent over the falls. He said that in going
down he would be carried under the water
by the current and if he could hold his
breath until he came to the surface again,
he would be all right. He could easily, he
said, hold his breath under water for a min
ute and half. He would have to fight to
keep at the top; if he could not do So he
said, IL would be all up with him. When
asked if he had fully considered the matter,
he said it was a curious thing, and he did
not bother much about it, He was going to
chance it. 1t was all luck, he
said. He made propositions to the
but they would not come to terms They
thought he was going to commit suicide, and
they would not encourage it, When asked if
there was anything particular he wished said
on his behalf, he replied that the only thing
he wished stated was that he was not going
to make anything out of it, but he wanted
to show the people he could do it. Speaking
of his weight, he said he weighed 100 pounds,
and was too fat. His proper weight was 175
pounds, but the extra weight did not hamper
him. As his work was not like racing, extra
flesh helped him, because it enabled him to
resist cold.
Interest in the fate of Captain Webb is I'M
abated. The belief is almost general that he
pershed in the whirlpool. His manager
telegraphed to Mrs. Webb to-day: Poor
Matt has not turned up; 1 hope to find him
before morning" Kyle said it was possible
that Webb was alive in some inaccessible
place. Bets are said to have been made that
he is alive, and one gentleman said he be-
lieved that it was a dummy that went down
the rapids, and that Webb will be found
somewhere below the whirlpool, Eye-wit-
nesses of the attempt insist that there is no
ground for such talk, or for hope that he is
alive.

The President and the People.


Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
We do not care whether President Arthur
is or is not candidate for a second term.
He has right to be candidate, and if he
commends himself to the people by an ex-
cellent administration, it is a style of elec-
pioneering that we approve. His quiet de-
meanor and steady perseverance, in the
straight line of duty, following the Repub-
lican disasters of last year, which would
have intimidated and irritated a small man,
have been cordially appreciated by the peo-
pie; and whatever may be faulty in the past
or the future, it is fair to say the President
mas earned and enjoys now the respect of his
countrymen.

SKETCH OF HIS CAREER.

Captain Webb was born in Strafshire. Eng
land, and was about forty years of age. He
had been seafaring man all his life. He
was man of rugged physique, but, thou gh a
good swimmer, his exploits, the noise of
which have gone round the world, were not
even dreamed of in his earlier days nor until
April, 1878. During that year, while he was
serving on the Cunard steamship Russia, a
shipmate, who was somewhere in the rigging,
lost his hold and fell overheard Quick as
the cry of MAN overheard" was sounded
Webb sprang from the bulwarks, and was
soon himself struggling with the mountain
Gus sea. A gale was blowing at the time
and the Russia booming along under steam
and sail at about fifteen miles per hour. The
rescue so calamity sought was not effected it
being supposed that the man who was over
board was struck by the propeller as he was
not seen to rise. Webb was recovered after
half an hours immersion and struggling
with an angry sea. He was taken into a boat
and brought on board the Russia purse
was made up for him in witness of his
bravery, which was led by W. ]. Florence
the actor with a subscription of 800 Others
followed with varying amounts until purse
of $500 was accumulated. Webb was also
the recipient of the first medal ever issued
by the Royal Humane Society of London.
In August of the year 1875, Captain Webb
accomplished the great feat Of swimming
