WEST UNION, Ia, Jan. 13.-Henry
Schmidt, the condemned man, slept
soundly last night, and was apparently
oblivious to his situation. Gotwith-
standing the drifting snow, which rem
dered travel almost impossible in the
country adjoining, the town was allied
with people anxious to witness the exc
cution. The drop fell at 1880, his neck
was broken, and he died In less than sew
en- minutes. Schmidt made q fye-min-
ute speech on the gallows, in which he
charged Ellison Smith, for whom he
worked at the time Of the murder, with
offering him $500 TO kill oneJ. A. Smith,
who was staying at Peaks. The victim
told a straight story and died unfinch-
ingly. The three sons OF Schmidt's VIC
tim were present. The execution took
place in an enclosure inst south of the
Jail.

WAsHINGToN, JAM 1t is quite likely
the Blair educational bill will have the
same experience as In the last congress.
The committee on education, to which
the bill will be referred, after the sen
ators have discussed it, is not believed to
be enthusiastic over the project. A mem
Der of the committee said it was scarcely
probable it would be reported to the
house before next June, when there will
be SO much pressing business in the way
that it will have NO show.

HIGH ART,

As We Find 1t Cropping Out at the City
Hall.
The proposition of the largely Republi-
can and intensely reform Council to pur-
chase Mr.. Faris' picture, 1.-THE Siege of Fort
Henry" for $500, has created an immense
amount Of talk all over the city, and the
most of the comment has been decidedly
unfavorable to the art gallery idea. In
fact, the people who put this little matter
through are being censured right and left,
and talk Of epjoining the city from paying
over tine cash has been heard in more than
one quarter. Itlooks very much az though
there would be no necessity of proceeding
to this extreme, however, as the parents Of
the proposition for the purchase of the
painting were in such hurry to get the
thing into the world that they did not take
the ordinary precaution Of specify
ing from what particular fund the
purchase money should be paid. Com
mon prudence would have suggested
that the payment be ordered from the con-
tingent fund Of the CITY, but no fund was
mentioned, and this left tile City Clerk
without authority to draw any order at
all, because in the absence of any fund be-
ing named, the money would have TO come
from the appropriation Tor the Committee
on Real Estate, which cannot stand the
drain. This committee only had 81 600
appropriated to it by the appropriation or
dinance, out of which amount the salaries
Of the ianitor and engineer, and assistants
are to be paid. This leaves balance of
much less than the required $500, and as
there is a heavy penalty Of fine and i'm
prisonment suspended over the Clerk for
drawing any order in excess Of the balance
of fund On hand, his bands are tied, and
he car simply do nothing in the premises
without additional authority from Council.

PROBABLY FATAL.
A Bad Accident on the C. g. r. Railroad, at

A Bad Accident on the c. g. r. Railroad, at
Portland.
Mrs. Johns S. johnson sued for divorce
from her husband before the court Of JET.
ferson county, Ohio, claiming alimohy, and
the case was to have been heard yesterday,
but an accident occurred at II SIS on We'd
nesdsy night by which Heaven DEGREES that
the couple shall be divorced, bnt which
does not give the plaintiff her alimony.
A few years ago Johnson was well-to-
do gentleman Of fine education and refined
manners, and lived happily with his wife
and two children at Portland Station, on
the C. & p. railroad. John took TO drink
ing and in a short time became almost
total wreck. His children died and, as is
stated in the opening paragraph, his
wife has sued for divorce on
the grounds of non.support and
other improper treatment. His wife is
daughter of Emsop Scamahorn and most
amiable woman, and q companion well
suited to johnson before he commenced
his downward way. On Wednesday john
son went to Steubenville TO see about the
case, which, however, he only opposed in
the matter of alimoDy, and, as was usual
with him, came home in the evening in
state of deep intOxication. He started
toward his home in Tiltonville, about two
miles below Portland, and was not seen or
heard OF again till the night freight going
east struck him at 11:55 o'clock. He was
not seen by the engineer before he was
struck, and was found lying on his back
alongside the track when the train Was
brought to a standstill. His insensible
and battered body was picked up
and carried to Portland station and
ply stefan summoned, who upon examina-
ton found that the pilot Of the Locomotive
had struck him on the side and broken
several ibis and injured his spine, besides
covering his entire body with contusions.
His heavy clothing was torn from him By
the force of the blow. Word WAS sent to
his father, John johnson, who refused to
take him TO his home or care for him. lie
was removed to the home Of John Coss and
placed in charge of the Township Trustees
to be cared for. DR.. J. M. Todd, the G. q
p. r. K. surgeon, went up from Bridgeport
: yesterday morning and found him in
very critical condition, in fact 80 low that
his life is entirely despairsd of. He was
conscious during few minutes, and told
those about him that he had sat down upon
the ties to rest and had fallen asleep.
