THE LAST NIGHT.

THE LAST NIGHT.
The last night was a restless one for the pris-
oners. who were up several times and sm 1ked
almost necessarily. Santore ate some breakfast
but Capone complained and putting his hand
on his breast said she sick" He was IA good
deal excited, his pulse running UP TO 100
Father Boniface visited the men FRIDAY fore
noon and found them still hard He asked Ca
pone If he would forgive all his enemies. He
replied God torgives." The same question
was asked Santore, who replied, Struggling his
Shouders-'I forgive all but one" Atll.20
the officers proceeded to the cells for the purpose
Of pinioning the condemned men preparatory
to the death march. The men We're much soft
ened and forgave each other. and the rites Of
the Catholic church We're then administered
The men were brought together, face to face
when Santore kissed Capone's hand. Warden
Bean, with fearful eyes delivered the prisoners
into the hands Of sheriff Irish. The sheriff read
the death warrant which was interpreted to the
prisoners by Sylvester Arau. of Camden. The
men then dressed themselves for the gallows
The suit was made of black alpaca, and consist
ed of pants and snug fitting waist. They wore
the prison shoes and wooden stockings. Santore
dressed himself. at the same time eating bread
in an excited manner. Deputy sheriff Porter

Those who queried what the new county at
tornev would do We're sufficiently answered at
his first term of court. 1t was thea seen that
he intended TO do bis duty, and his whole duty
His course was in striking cont rast with the
supineness, or worse, of bis immediate prede-
cessor. The temperance people rejoiced, and
in speeches and resolutions the various organi-
cations expressed their qualification that the
county had an attorney who does not wear the
collar of the rumsellers. Complimentary reso-
buttons are well enough in their way, but
amount TO very little in suppressing liquor SELL
ing. Aware of the fact that the county attor-
ney was ready and willing 10 do his duty, one
would naturally suppose these temperance or
CARNATIONS would have interested themselves
in procuring witnesses and furnishing nforma-
ton TO be used at the coming term of court.
On enquiry. however, we find that nothing of
the kind has been done. and that Mr.. Rogers
has received no aid from the temperance or
CARNATIONS or the temperance men and women
of Belfast. The inference that might be drawn
from this fact is that there is no desire to sup
press liquor selling in Belfast. If the temper
ance people take no steps in this matter, who
can be depended upon to do so:

The editor of the Boothbay Register a man
over 30 years old and in feeble health, was
horse whipped last week by Mr.. Best at the
instigation, it is said. of the anti-temperance
people of the place. who guaranteed to pay the
fine of the assailant, if he should be let off with
fine. A correspondent of the Lewiston Jour
nal says that 1.-THE assault was most brutal and
unprovoked, and is condemned by all respect
able PERSONS" and the journal adds:
The article on whose account Best is said to
have administered this horse whipping, it is
stated, was pubi-he;! seven Years ago. The
Womdn's Christian Temperance Union has
been doing good work against the rum>ellers
of Boothbay and the Register has supported
them.
The temperance people of Boothbay can do
no less for the victim of this outrage than the
rummies have agreed to do for his cowardly
assaant; and the latter having been held for
his appearance in court able counsel should be
engaged and the case against him prosecuted
with the utmost vigor 1t will not do to have
a precedent established i'll Maine that those
who advocate temperance can be assaulted and
their ASSISTANTS 90 unpublished.

The men were tried at Bangor in February
| 1884, and found guilty of murder in the first
degree. Abram Sanborn, of Bangor, defended
Santore, and Col. A. w. Bradbury Of Port
! land, Capone. The counsel believed that Ca
pone was the least guilty of the two and had
he chung to his first story he would have escap-
ed the gallows. He changed his story, how
ever, on the stand, denying the robbery, which
was fatal to his case.
THE HISTORIES OF THE CONDEMNED MEN.
Capone was &c years old, and a native of
Italy, where he has wife living. He had been
in this country about three years. He was a
short, thick set man, prepossessing in appear
ance, and with the piercing black eyes He
wore moustache and slight side whiskers. He
was sullen and morose while in prison, and
was considered very dangerous man. Once
while at work in the prison he seized a wooden
stool and attempted to strike fellow prisoner.
| While quite intelligent he had no education
| could not even read or write his own language
and spoke but a few English words. Santore was
taller and thinner than Capone, aud was Al
years old. His forehead was sloping and his
head peaked. His dropping moustache, almond
shaped and protruding eyes gave his counte-
nance scared appearance. He had been in
this country about the same length of time as
his companion, and he also has wife in Italy.
| He served eight years in prison in his native
country, as he said for politica, reasons. San
tore had some education and since he has been
| in prison has written many letters to different
officials. He was persistent in declaring his
innocence, laying all the blame upon the
| younger man, and succeeded in creating some
sympathy for himself. The men had an in
tense hatred for each other, and had they been
permitted to meet face to face, there would
have been no work for the eXecutioner
INFORMED OF THEIR FATE.
| When the men were told they must die San
tore was much moved but Capone received the
news with IA grin and chewed tobacco inces-
sanity. He did not believe he was to be hang
| ed, but thought an attempt was to be made to
eXtort confession from him. He said: "Me
no hang; Santore hang" Capone looked upon
the whole thing as Il farce, believing that he
was to be led to the gallows to brighten him
into a confession. Father Boniface, an Italian
priest of Boston, and Fathers Harrington and
Peterson, of Rockand, visited the prisoners
frequently, and the day before the execution
Father Boniface asked the men to make their
peace with God and to forgive all their enemies.
Each forgave everybody with single reserva-
ton. They would not forgive each other, and
under the circumstances the priest could not
| administer the rites of the church. Father

Waiting for Higher PrIees

The evil effect of waiting for higher prices
has been shown most forcibly in the matter
Of the sale of hops. % cents. were offered the
first of the hop season, but nearly all waited.
until many have just sold for about fifth OF
that price. While there may be individual
cases where money has been made on hops,
wheat, etc, by putting oil selling for vision
ary high prices, take it as rule, and il is
judicious proceeding to sell in an early mark
ct if it only offers average advantages. In the
long run the farmer makes the most who
dses it. Hop raisers will not again see that
wonderful quotation of three years ago OF 81
a pound, nor wheat raissrs the traditional 81
a busheI. Among the hop raisers of Linn
county one had 20, 900 pounds which he has
just sold for $50 oyer freight and commits
sion, leaving him $1,000 out of pocket ; an
other received S225 above the commission
and freight for 10000 pounds, making him
$500 out Of pocket, and other cases are re-
ported with the same result, altogether leav-
ing the county many thousand dollars poor
er. But these gentlemen did no different
frsn what nearly every farmer does. Belev-
ing hops would raise they kept them. Where
several thousand dollars are at stake a most
serious matter is presented, and it is certain
ly very natural proceeding for Que to wait
for an increase in the price of a commodity
for the sake of making few hundred dollars,
even though there are the most chances for
the prics to go the ether way. Yet is it
business in the long rdn. Farmers should
study this matter seriously.

Considerable excitement has been oc.
casioned by the death OF b. Coffey, tho

change gives the following particulars in
reference to the affair:
s'It seems that on Sunday last Coffey
was in Independence. Late In the even
ing he hired a man named Matnsy to take
him across the river, In a small boat. On
reaching the east side dispute arose be
tween them as TO the compensation for so
doing, Mstney recrossed, and returning
brought with him two other parties, nam.
Ell Cooper and Lawrence, and the three
attacked Cohey with such severity rs TO
bring on brain fever, from the effect of
which he died this morning. Coroner
Warmer held an inquest at Salem, aud
the jury returned verdict that death was
caused by brain fever, brought on evil

hands OF Matney and others. All the as
saulting parties had been drinking hea =

the whole trouble, Parties from Inde-
pendence had, OH the day previous 10 the
attack, visited Coffey's barn and broke a
number OF windows In one OF his houses
md his visit to Independence was for the
purpose OF ferreting out the guilty parties
The fact that he displayed considerable
money lod many to think that an attempt
was made to rob him"
