aarrfgan's Friends at Work 10 Save
His Life.

The friends of jeremiah Hsrrigsn,
under sentence OF death fof the murder
of Denis Shea, are actively at work
endeavoting TO procure his pardon.
Petitions are being circulated for
signatures, asking that Governor Stockley
grant pardon, and letters making the
same request are being received from a
number of prominent men of both political
parties.
A day will be set for conference with
Governor Stockley, when a delegation Of
the condemned mans friends will visit
Dover and make a plea for Harrigan'a
life and pardon. Executive clemency
will be asked on precisely the same
grounds upon which Governor Hall
granted respite from execution about
one year ago. Governor Hall, in grant
ing the respite at that time, gave as his
reasons for so doing, that facts discovered
after Harrigan's trial showed Shea to
have been orimiuslly intimate with Mrs.
| Harrigan, which her husband discovered,
| and that Shea was actually engaged in
| conspiracy to take HarriRan's life.
The term of Harrigan's last respite Of
| one year, lacking day expires on Friday
| of next week. The murderer is assured
| that the execution of the COURTS sentence
| will be stayed, yet he IL very solicitiou;
regarding his fate, and in fear that ht
| will not be granted pardon. He desireI
and has his mind set on being pardonec
and set at liberty without further confine
ment and talks almost constantly abou
what he proposes doing when liberated

rato,s' association mat this afternoon in

bers present.
| Mr.. Trapor Of Philadelphia being
called upon, spoke b lefty on the low

cause was owing to the fact~that there

ruin the market. He spoke in fattering
terms Of Delawars's fruit never having
any complaint against it by consumers.

Phillips, Rosa, Boggs and others. Each
expressed desire to see the association

were taken in the meetings, much good
would result.
