AWFUL SUSPENSE.
=
A Remarkable Scene in a Pennsyl-
vania Prison.
Prisoner Frightened to Death and
Another Palsied During DIR. Goerson's
Execution.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March Con "exe-
cution' days in the County Prison all the
coll doors in the scaffold corridor are kept
tightly closed to shut out from the sight of
the inmates of the cells any glimpse OF the
terrible scene going on without. In this cor.
rider, and not very distant from the position
of the scaffold yesterday where DrGoerson
was hung were the cells of Taylor, who muir
dered penitentiary keeper; of Kane, who
slew his brother in his South streeet saloon,
and Briggs, who cut his wife's throat as
she was reaching up to take dish from
cellar shelf. In their neighborhood the
cells were all occupied by men who have
been convicted of all grades of crime. In
one of these compartments there was an
old man named Joseph Barrett, who had
served on the flag ship Hartford under Far
ragut, and who had got into prison under
long sentence for making murderous at
dropsy, and was so badly off rs to be bed
ridden. Prior to the execution he was an
eager inquirer after the details of the ar
rangements, but these were denied him,
and despite the efforts of his nurses
he rambled on with this topic entirely
filling his mind. He was greatly de-
pressed when his door was closed and the
peep-hole closed up. None of the cell
doors were opened until every vestige Of
the tragic affair had been removed. and
then, as the keepers passed along, there
were blanched but eager faces at the wickets
asking in suppressed tones: us it all
Overt" When Barrett's door was found it
was discovered that the old man had died
of the shock TAYLOR. who is condemned
week ago that Goerson's pardon had
been refused, was attacked with ire
NOR that resembled palsy. How he
passed the almost eternity of that interval
of two hours occupied in the preparations
for the hanging yesterday morning can be
fancied from what was seen when his door
was opened and he was found in spasms on
his cell floor.

DR.. Bell the inventor of the telephone, is
tall, well Informed man of perhaps forty one or
forty two years of age. He has d bic head, we'll
set on a broad pair of shoulders His forehead
is high broad and full, and a bushy heap of
glossy black hair stands up and back from it as
though its owner had the habit of often pushing
his fingers through it. He has pair of vevety
black eyes, very bright. and such as should inn
agine could fill with the feeling of the soul be-
hind them upon occasion. He has dark com
pexon, strong mouth, and features tending
rather to the English cast He has Slight En-
lish accent talks well, and keeps his mind we'll
in hand. He is hard worker, and | am told he
often works all night long when he has some ex-
pertinent on hand in which he is deeply interest
ed. He is married, and his wife is talked of
here as one of the few beautiful women of the
national capital. She is a daughter Of Mr.
bridge Mass, and she was one of Mr.. Bells deaf
pupils when he was teaching school at Boston.
He fell in love with her, and the two we're
married.
Mr. Bells workshop or library is in the top of

Result.

Then there's Hanna And probably some
frivolous person will at once say: Whats the
matter with HANNAH We answer frankly
nothiDgs the matter with Hanna. Only we have
reason to believe that his refusal to go to Persia
minister to the court of the Shah ha, created
considers Die feeling throughout that kingdom
The news of his appointments was received with
demonstrations of delight by all classes 1t is
not too much to say-though the language is,
| perhaps, not diplomatic--that all Persia was
on end in expectation of Hanna. The
Zoroastrians IN particular were intensely ex-
cited. They fire worshippers, and the
rumor had reached them that Hanna was red
headed. This may have been because, coming
| from Indiana, the Persians confused him with
Senator Voorhees, of that State, whose red
| headedness is of world wide fame; or it may be
| that he is red headed We do not know We
have a suspicion, however, that the report had
| it's origin in Hanras appearance at Gramercy
| Park with the committee appointed by the
national convention to inform Tiden of his
nomination In 1876 Upon that occasion, it will
| be remembered, just as Tilden was about to
| launch cut i'll his speech of acceptance, Hanna
| burst upon the scene with such sudden gush of
| eloQuence fairly made the old man open his
| game eye and kept up the flow for half an hour.
1t was very ruddy stream. Doubt
| less when the speech reached Teheran
| the pundits pronounced it "red-headed," mean
ing thereby that it was eloquence of the fiery
sort We do not know this to be so, but it seems
plausible AT any rate Persia was profoundly
worked up from the Caspian sea to the Indian
ocean on account of Hanna, and there promised
| to be great demand for camels to ride in the
procession that would go out and meet him.
The disappointment when it was found !that he
preferred going to the Argentine Republic,
simply because if anything should happen to
him there he could walk home by way of the
| Isthmus was bitter indeed. 1t is not impossible
that Persia will declare war on account of it,,
but the hope is that the fre-worshippers may
| yet be placated by sending them fre-eater.
Mr.. Bayard has large assortment of these on
| hand and available.
