execution. O'Donnell sleeps well, and
takes his meals regularly. He does not
occupy the cell to which condemned per-

a larger one. Two wardens are constantly
watching him. Usually one man is de-
tailed for this service.
O'Donnell maintained great firmness of

meet his fate. He regards himself as a

Chrnnic GroMlars.

To THE EDITOR OF THE GAZETTE Our
city appears to be infested with a number
of weak. minded persons who think it smart
to make a complaint through the columns
of newspaper These persons lack the
manly courage to approach the executive
Officers of the Board of Health, give their
names, and state their complaints. The
Executive Officers are always ready to
attend to any complaint brought to their
notice in a proper manner. They traverse
their districts in the early morning, no
doubt before these fault-fnders are out of
their beds. But it is well-known fact
that in every community such persons exist.
Nothing pleases them. Their temperaments
are such that they cannot help finding
fault. They never have a word of praise
for prompt and efficient officers,
but content themselves with writing
nonsensical communications to a newspaper,
and nine times out of ten when their griev-
auces are inquired into, there is no truth in
their statements. Our Executive Officers
are often approached by such persons with
long warn about nuisances, as they term
it, exsisting on the premises of their neigh
bors, but they do not want their names
mentioned. O, no, they delight to get
other people into trouble by talking behind
their backs, but they are too cowardly to
make a complaint in a manly manner, and
face the person whom they charge with
violating law.

CAMP TETON, August 15.-Promptly at
$50 O'Clock this morning the horses were
mounted and the party rode away from
Camp Arthur. A westerly direction along
the north side of the Gros Ventre river was
taken, The trail was beset with few of the
difficulties with which fortnight's trials in
the wilderness had made the party so
familiar.
The party had climbed to the summit of a
hill about five miles from Camp Arthur,
when there suddenly burst upon their view
scene as grand and majestic as ever before
witnessed. Below, covered with grass and
flowers, was lovely. valley many miles in
extent, through which was threading
its wsy the river on whose banks
we had just eneamped. Along the
whole westerly edge of the valley, with nc
intervening foot hills to Obstruct the view,
lowered the magnificent Teton Mountains,
their snowy SUBMITS piercing the air 800
feet above the spot on which we stood in
reverent admiration, and 1900 feet above
the level of the sea.
We are encamped on the Teton Basin, on
the bank OF the Gros Ventre. The locality,
aside from the splendid views of the noun
tains which it affords, is our least attractive
camp. The river at this point has an excel
lent reputation as q trout stream, but the
wind has been blowing at too many miles

We are all In excellent health, and are thor

CONDITION UNCHANGED.
Bar kiey q Brothers stable still in an IN
safe Condition.

The stable of Barkley Il Bro. al Fourth
and French is standing in the same danger
GUS condition as yesterday. An effort will
be made by j. r. D. Seeds & Son, the con-
tractors for Phillips & Sons new building
which adjoins the stable, to raise the large
girder, at present resting on the wagon,
by which means they hope to spring the
walls back into position. The operation
will be decidedly delicate one, and may
result in the complete demolition of the
building. Philemma Chandler, the Build
ing Inspector, gave it as his opinion this
morning that If properly conducted the
girder could be raised, aud was confident
that the side walls would then spring
back and set level. When asked If
the building would be materially
weakened, he said that as the weight
rested plumb the walls would be all right.
The large girder referred to ran north and
south through the stable and supported the
floor joist. When the side fell out the end
Of the girder dropped and forced the side
walls out considerable distance, and by
raising this they hope to spring the walls
back.
The ATTEMPT will be made tomorrow
morning, until which time the spectators
are allowed to speculate as TO what will hap
pen. The majority are of the opinion that
the building will fall entirely as soon as the
attempt Is made.

them at disastrous times. Cusick was
unanle to back Fox's swift pitching and
consequently had TO let up. Kennel very

catcher, who stood right on the line of base,
and knocked him down. Greenwood, of the
Brooklyn, was struck on the head by a
thrown ball, and severely stunned. The
