Cisco was hanged this morning at 8
o'clock. Cisco slept but little last night,
and this morning ate but little breakfast.
There has been no appearance Of nervous
ness about him, and he walked to the
scatold with q firm step. He coniessedto
having killed Abram Gurnee, but insisted
ed to the last, that he had acted in seltde-
Tense.
Abram Gurnee was the proprietor Of a
country store at Park Ridge, n. j., q small
village on the New York & New Jersey
railroad. Cisco entered the store on the
night Of December g, 1888, and under the
pretext OF making some purchases, attack
ed and shot 6urnee through the head and
then beat him with an axe-handle, frac-
turing his skull IN three places. After n
fling the money. drawer Cisco fed. Cur
nee lived long enough to tell the name Of
his assailant. Cisco was arrested two
days after at Paterson and lodged in jail
here. When arraigned he pleaded gull
ty and was sentenced To- death. Ciseos
relatives all took leave OF him yesterday.
His aged father had an affecting parting
with him Yesterday afternoon.
Cisco spoke as follows on the gallows:
"Beiore l die wish to say that l am very
happy. plead guilty before God and man,
and hope for mercy. There was mercy
for the chief OF sinners; God shows mercy
to me. Ithank the Sheriff and all others
who have been so kind TO me. Task God
TO be merciful, for shall be with him
soon. Here his voice broke down, but
soon recovering himself he signified his
readiness to 20. At exactly e:l3 the trap
was sprung and Cisco's body shot up into
the air. He died Of strangulation in six
minutes. After hanging twenty.one
minutes the body was cut down and de-
liyered to his father. he will be buried
at Passaick, N. J., in the same cemetery
where the victim Is buried. The execu-
tion passed OF quietly. Only score Of
persons witnessedit.

A NEW PHASE,

There Is new phase in the situation as
regards rumors which is beginning to be
quietly talked about among the iron work
ers. It is to the effect that the large
amount Of work now being done by the
mills that are running leads to the suspic-
ion that they are filling orders for some Of
the mills that have not signed. By this
arrangement the mills that have specified

filed by the ones now running, SO the
rumor goes, and also continue to do so as
much rs possible. In brief, it would be

Eulegistic OF Lamar.

Especial to the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
There was q good deal Of talk
among the Southern men about
Lamar aud Garland going into the
Cabinet. Mr.. Lamar is a great ia.
vorite with the Southern Demo-
Gratis. Indeed, he is q favorite
with public men of all classes. /
went about yesterday talking with
both Republicans and Democrats,
for the purpose of finding out
how Lamar's appointment would
be received. There was such
chorus Of eulogy from the Demo.
cratic Senators that 1t would sound
like.sxaggeration to give their ex-
travagant praise. Senator Jones
of Florida, threw back his great,
broad shoulders and drew o long
breath like q small whirlwind
when he was asked to say what he
thought of Lamar. "Think of
him." said he, with a roar; think
that he is the greatest man of this
or any other country. He has q
thorough knowledge of public af.
fairs. He is broad.minded and
thoroughly upright. You, who
understand the rating of public
men, must know how important it
is to have pure men in high places.
Lamar is thoroughly honest. His
record is faultless. What more
could l say than that if 1 should
talk an hour ~
Senator Allison, one Of the
strong leaders upon the Republi-
can side of tho Senate, who has
been for q number of years the
chairman of the Appropriation
Committee, was asked to tell what
he thought of Lamar.
"What would be the natural
criticism of Republicans of such
an appointment I" was asked
He replied: at would put the
appointment beyond criticism.
Mr.. Lamar is great man. He is
well informed. He has that
knowledge of public affairs which
is SO essential to their successful
administration. He is a gentleman.
ly, dignified man. He has the name
of being az honest as he is able.
l believe him kind hearted and
fair. II there were any criticism
TO be passed upon Mr.. Lamar at
all, it would not be one that would
be directed against his intellectu-
oil qualifications. 1t might be a
question of whether he has the
health to carry him through any
task requiring severe labor; but

Of that, of course, he is a better
judge than any one else" 1t was
impossible TO find 3 Democrat who
had any objections to the charac.
ter or ability Of Mr.. Lamar. The
real criticism of him came from
those who would not permit their
names to be mentioned. This
comes naturally enough, because
he has for number Of years been
cautioned by his physicians
against much work. He has nat.
urally drifted into taking things
very easily. But there is no one
franker than Mr.. Lamar in admit.
ting this very thing himself II
was only yesterday that he said:
Naturally, l am perhaps, one of
the most ipdolent men on the face
of the earth, but l should never
allow that to stand between me
and the performance of fpublic du-
ty. When once am walked up. l
can run for q long time under high
pressure.' There is no doubt
about the Senator's being thor.
oughly walked up now, or Of his
desire to do all he can TO help
make Mr.. Cleveland's administra.
tion Q successful one.
Senator Cullom, Of Illinois, who
is perhaps as extreme a Republi'
can in the Senate as there is, said
that he thought Lamar was a
very able man and very upright
one. The only objection that be
had was the fact that he would de-
fend Jefferson Davis.
