obvious fraud. He charged the Labor Bu-

the vagrant law, as lever for capitalists to

the Knights not to try to secure too much
from the next legislature, but to agitate n
payments, uniform free text books in the
public schools, better assessment of taxes
and secret ballot. He suggested that the
committee on legislation prepare draft of
such laws as should be enacted, relating to
these measures, and have them printed and
circulated throughout the order. In regard

ANDERSON, April AT 8 O'Clock sharp
this morning, just two years to a day
since W. II. Roe is charged to have muir
dered his wife, he stood before the dis
trict court of Grimes county to receive
the sentence of death. A silence
almost oppressive prevailed in the
court room when Judge Kittrell
said: "W. II. Roe, please stand up
After sentence had been passed, when
asked if he had anything to say why SEN
tence should not be pronounced, Roe said :
"What 1 can say will do no good. 1 am
innocent. The two negroes, the states
witnesses, committed perjury, but if the
law says 1 must suffer the death penalty, 1
will do it. l am an innocent man. This
is all l have to say" Roe appeared cool
and collected.
Judge Kittrell then said to the prisoner
"You and l were raised from youth to
manhood in the same community, and 1
have no desire, even if it were il my power,
to add anything to the agony of your po-
sition.
81 have earnestly endeavored to secure
for you fair and impartial trial, and
that trial has, believe, been had, and if
there be truth in the testimony of men
and circumstances, two years ago this
day, when your loving and faithful wife
asked at your hands for that which would
relieve her suffering and restore her to
health, you, with deliberate purpose and
formed design, to take her life, knowingly
gave her deadly draught that in one
silent hour laid her dead before you.
"Such deed cannot but exotic in my
breast emotions of the utmost horror, yet
for those bound to you by the ties of kin
ship, who by your act are plunged into
the deepest sorrow, ! have the sincerest
sympathy.
"But no consideration of sympathy can
ever weigh against the mandates of the
law, nor avail to avert the execution of
its stern decree.
SIN pursuance of the proceedings already
recited, and, in obedience to the mandate
of the honorable court of appeals of the
state of Texas, it is ordered adiudged and
decreed that you be taken hence to the
state penitentiary at Huntsville, Texas,
for safe keeping, and that you be there
confined until such future day as may be
by this court fixed and directed, and that
upon said future day you be, by the sheriff
of Grimes county, brought to the county
jail of Grimes county, Texas, from said
penitentiary."

Elk President Hayes and Others of Dis
tinction Present.
MARIETTA, O., April 7.-Citizens of
Marietta we're awakened by the booming
of cannon. A more beautiful dsy was
never seen in the month of April, and in
the streets were thronging multitudes,
anxious to participate in the ceremonies
of the day. The hour of meeting was
$50 O'Clock, but it was 10 o'clock before
quiet had been secured in the hall, from
which hundreds had been turned away.
Ex-president Hayes and Senator Hoar
entered early, and were greeted with
cheers. When Mrs. Hayes enter, d later
there was cordial ovation, which
was renewed when Governor Foraker
and staff were announced. Hon. j. Ran
dolph Tucker, of Virginia, came IN for
share of applause, and indeed the Vir-
ginians have received quite as much at
tention as the guests from New England,
the fact being recognized that Virginia,
as well as Connecticut and Massachusetts,
contributed to the founding and the glory
of the northwest.
The venerable Douglas Putnam called
the meeting to order, and introduced Gov
ernor Foraker as presiding officer of the
day. Governor Foraker made a happy
speech of welcome, after which prayer was
offered by Rev. DR.. Chaplin, of Beloit, Wis.
Before introducing the orator of the day,
dispatch was read:
ST.. AUGUSTINE, Fla, April Ito DR.. T.
W. Andrews, Marietta: The Oldest city in
the United States sends greeting to the
Oldest city in the territory northwest of
the Ohio river.
(Signed) GEO. s. GREY, Mayor.
Senator G. f. Hoar was then introduced
and made an eloquent address. After the
Grafton of Senator Hoar, ex-President
Hayes was called out, and made brief,
spirited and eloquent address. He was
followed by Mr.. Bernard Peters, editor of
the Brooklyn, N. Y, Times, in graphic
sketch of the German pioneer.
Recess was then taken for dinner, and
at 1890 o'clock a salute of 100 guns was
fred.
All the bells in the city were ringing in
honor of the Mayfower's landing, 100
years ago. The invited guests were served
with luncheon. In the afternoon several
overflow meetings were held in the
churches, while at the city hall Hon. Jno.
Randolph Tucker made an grafton. He
was followed by Hon. E. E. Hale.

CHICAGO, April Mr.. Jeffreys, general
manager of the Illinois Central, called,
with Messrs. Sargent, Monahan, Hoge
and Murphy, at the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy office this morning and met
Messrs. Dexter, Stone, Peasley aud Bes-
Ter. Sargent acted as spokesman in be-
half of the late engineers aud fremen of
the Burlington, and urged that the whole
matter be left to arbitration, but the COM
pany objected that such proposition
was inadmissable at the present time, as
their ranks were substantially full of en-
gineers aud firemen who were entirely
satisfied with the rules and terms of en-
ploymept. The situation of these new
men and the terms on which they were ell
gagged were fully explained TO Mr.. Sar-
gent, who admitted that the railroad COM
pany could not consider any proposition
looking to their discharge. General Man
ager Stone then urged Mr.. Sargent to have
the strike called off, promising to consider
applications from old men, and to give as
many of them work as he could.

Grand Army of the Republic, but we
do take stock in Captain Fish as
an energetic, enterprising gentleman and
are glad that in the broad state of Texas,
the one officer appointed should be selected
from Tyler, and that he commands the
respect and friendship of all classes of
our people, regardless or his strong re-
publican tendencies. As the position of
aid-de-camp to the com mander carries
with it the rank of colonel, we must now
say Colonel Fish, though we prefer, and
think ne will, the real service title of
captain.

FATALLY SHOT.
A Shooting Scrape Between Two Young
Men at Paris, Kentucky.

a SnootlnB Scrape Between Two Dung
Men at Paris, Kentucky.
PARIS, KY, April 7.-Kennedy Porter,
son of Ex-Governor Porter, was shot, and
probably fatally wounded, here last night,
about IL O'Clock by Will Edmunds. The
origin of the difficulty is supposed to be
the attentions of young Porter to Ed
munds' sister, which the latter objected to,
and he had frequently threatened to kill
him if he did not desist. Porter had
been out driving with Edmunds' sister
last night, and had returned the
team to the stable and started
up Depot street towards the square
where he met Edmunds about the Blanton
house, who told him that he was going to
kill him, and for him to defend himself.
Edmunds then fired, the ball, a 38 calibre,
striking Porter in the left breast, just be-
low the collarbone, ranging downward.
On hearing the threat Porter drew his
pistol, but too late. On being shot Porter
fell, and was soon after removed to his
fathers residence, where he now lies in a
precarious condition. The wound has not
yet been probed. There were no eye wit
nesses to the shooting.

REDUCING SALARIES.
Sharp's Funeral.

New YORK, April 7.-Nothing definite
can be learned as to when the funeral of
Jacob Sharp will take place. The family
refuses to give any information on the
subject, and even the undertaken in charge
is as ignorant on the matter as the public.
He has merely been told to have every,
thing in readiness to hold the funeral at
any hour he may be called on. 1t is
thought the body will be taken from the
house for burial tonight, the relatives
hoping thus to evade the obtrusion of
curiosity seekers. Only relatives and most
intimate friends of the family are ad-
mitted to the house.
