THE DEATH WATCH PUT ON.

Young Nowlin Parts With His Mother and Is Ready to Meet Ills Fate. BOSTON, Jan. 19.-The arrangements for
 the execution of James Edwin Nowlin, the
 Somerville murderer. at Cambridge were completed this afternoon and every prepara- tion made to avoid as far as possible any hitch in the proceedings. Nowlin was visit ed in the afternoon by his mother, who re- mained until late in the evening. The part ing was most affecting one and for the first time since it was certain that he must hang the boy showed signs of emotion. Other than at this time, however, his demeanor has been of the stolid and defiant nature 1 maintained by him since the trial. The death watch was placed in his cell late this afternoon and until he suffers the penalty of | his crime he will not for a moment be left unguarded. That the boy has not felt the | need of religious consolation is shown | by the fact that although Rev. MT. \ Gould, who has been much with | him, visited the jail during the day, yet he did not see | the prisoner and was not sent for by him. | The gallows has keen erected in the corridor l farthest from Nowlin's cell so that he has 1 not heard the noise of it's erection and has
 been spared at least that trial. It seems now ! that he Will meet QlS Iat0 W1Cl the same COOL l ness that he has manifested in his imprison- ment In his talks with Sheriff Cushing 1 Nowlin has always declared that he was sat- l isied with the treatment he received and had l nothing of which to complain. There will | be no witnesses of the execution except the 1 sheriff and his deputies, the sherifs of other
 counties, the medical men and the twelve witnesses required by law. The execution will undoubtedly take place before noon
 though no special time is assigned for it in ! sentence.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-The barb wire manu- facturers' association at meeting held here to day resolved to advance the price of their product to $5. 40 per hundred to take effect at once This is a raise of twenty five cents. The association practically controls the price of barb wire throughout the United States. There are twenty five members in the organization. The reason they give for their action is the advance in the price of wire rods caused by the combination of foreign rod mill owners supplying the American market and the advance made in spelter. The association decided not to take advantage of the recent decision of Judge Sbiras of Dubuque, declaring the Washburne and Moen patent void. The members will Keep on paying license fees until the matter is passed upon by the United States Supreme court.

rHELEADER SHOT DOWN.
A Gang of Train Robbers For once Are
 Rolled.


 Rolled.
 MISSOURI CITY, Jan. 19.-A Wabash train
 last night near here was Tagged by robbers and the engineer ordered out of his cab 1 The officials had been forewarned and 8 volley from shotguns met the rob ! bers and the leader was shot down. Telegrams to General Manager Hayes say | that all of the would be robbers have been captured. Three of them were overtaken by | the posse and the fourth, Barney Sweeny, the leader who stopped the train and who received heavy load of shot in the breast from the gun of the man in the engine cab, was found in the woods where he had crawlsd after be- ing wounded. Sweeny has long record of the worst men in Missouri since the days of
 the Jesse James gang. He was a member of
 that band of desperadoes. He has been
 tried for killing two men, but in some way
 got clear. In one case he shot man
 sitting on fence just to see him drop
 and in the other case he killed 8
 man on Missouri Pacific train
 near Vanita about five years ago. He re-
 gently served term of two years in the pen
 itentiary for attempting to blackmail the late
 Col A. A. Talmage, general manager of the
 Wabash road, out of s2,500. Thomas Fur
 long, chief of the secret service of the Mis-
 souri Pacific, says Sweeny is the meanest and
 most despicable villain he ever met. John
 King, who gave the gang away, is 8
 young man of Missouri City. He says he
 was forced to join the band against his will
 and gave the railroad company information
 of the scheme two weeks ago.

EXPERTS ON INSANITY
Occupy the Stand All Day In the Perry
 Murder Trial.


 NORWICH Jan. 19.-The trial of Fred A. S. Perry for the murder of E. c. Whittelsey of New London occupied the Superior court for the third day. The most important wit nesses of the morning session were Dr. Corey of Brooklyn and Dr. F. W. Fisher of Boston, who appeared as experts upon sanity. They have both examined Perry and find clear evidence of insanity in his delusions and hal lucinations from which he claims to suffer in the jail as much as he did outside. He hears voices and profane and vulgar language for merly used by himself nights, and he claims to be victim of some mysterious sorcerY or voodooisrn, subtle drugs and odors being used upon him, affecting all his senses and acting upon the nerves of his heart as if a million spiral springs were brought to bear upon them, causing excruciating distress, and upon the entire "mucous tract, :" causing him sleepless nights and con- stant bodily pain and mental anxiety.
 The afternoon session was taken up with expert evidence, the most startling of which was that of Dr. Stiles, who kept the insane retreat at Middletown, NY, in 1873 when Perry was there. He said Perry was com- mitted on two legal certificates on April 23, 1873, and ran away on July 20 after an out burst of passion. He described the prisoner as man of violent temper, but said they saw no evidence of insanity while he was there. In fact they made record that he was not insane. The defense confronted him with 8 letter he wrote Perry's lawyer, Dayton, the day following Perry's escape in which he described 8 twelve-mile chase by seven men to recapture him and made such notes as these: ffHe will be fool enough to return te New York;" ''If he is returned to the asylum we will give him hard lines;" "After the escapade none of us nor you can help him;' eff ever he showed signs of in sanity it was when he ran away" Dr. Stiles had sorry time of it in answering the questions of the defense based on these in ouiries and had no recollection of the exact meaning of the word "escapade" as applied to the incident of Perry's running away from this asylum in which he was kept at the ex- pense of the family. The evidence will be concluded tomorrow.

RIG BLUNDERS.
A Fine Lecture at Dwight Pl
 Church by the Renowned Talmai

Fine Lecture at Dwight Place
 Church by the Renowned Talmage.
 A large and enthusiastic audience filled
 Dwight Place church last evening. "Big
 Blunders" was the subject of the lecture
 given by the Sturgeon of America, T. Dewitt
 Talmage. D. D. Through the religious and
 secular press sermons of this justly celebrat-
 ed divine are probably more widely read to-
 day than those of any other American clergy man. and while he may by some be regarded
 ss not little sensational in his style both as preacher and lecturer, yet there are few who would deny his wonderful power in describ. ing human nature or belittle his magnetism as platform orator. The lecture strongly advised young men to find their sphere and then stick to it. Don't be "Jack at all trades" The choice of calling should be prayerfully sought. Success comes from con- l centrated and persistent effort. Indulgence in bad temper is another blunder. This country is big one, large enough for all Go West, young man, if the East won't do. The firm of Growl, Spitfre & Co. do the
 poorest business out, while Merriman & Warm Grasp get the trade. The whole
 world is full of music if we only | catch the melody. Then, too, don't get discouraged at bad treatment | from others. Gossip ruins many g life. The ethics in many of our stores need reformation. Strict honesty pays even in business. This the speaker Illustrated, by i a telling story. Excess of amusements IS
 another blunder. Innocent sports there are l to be had. All hail to the man who invent I cd base ball. Recreation is recreation. S1- l fence is only music asleep. But too much 1 devotion to amusement is ruinous. Select | your recreations carefully. The speaker 1 paid fine tribute to noble womanhood.
 The last blunder mentioned by the elo- l quent speaker was attempting life without
 enthusiasm and enterprise. A man must have sense of enthusiasm to get along. One icicle frozen to each chaii and sofa is often called sociable. If l.-sn has not enthusi.
 asm in every nerve and energy and soul ht 1 will soon drop out of sight as he ought to
