LETTING HIS WIFE sTARvE

While He Enjoys Himself With Fine Gig

gence in Prott ctive Tariff Speeches on
the Street Corners--A Republican Pol
itician.
A letter which shows the depravity
to which some men can fall was handed
a NEws-DEMoCRAT reporter this morn
ing. 1t was from a married woman to
a councilman, she begging him for a
city order to the amount of 80 to ena-
BILE her to purchase a few necessaries of
life to keep her from starving. Her
husband is a well-known citizen
of Canton and a leading
Republican politician. He apparently
has means and enjoys himself with
cigars of a fine brand and other
luxuries, among which are insatiate
indulgences in protective tariff speeches
on the street corners. The letter is as
follows:

The Board of Directors of the Stark

The board visited the fair grounds
in the afternoon and sold the lunch

fair prices were obtained, but somewhat
below those of a year ago, but having
experienced three days OF rainy weather

the eighty new box stalls for horses,

the county.

@BLINKY" MORGAN HANGED.
He Dies Game at 1880 This
Morning.
Some Pointers on His Career-His Real
Name Was Charles Mcdonald.

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. ESPECIALLY
The notorious Blinky Morgan, swung
out into his dark eternity from the end
of a rope, in the Ohio P~enitentiary, at
lib this morning. He died a slow
and agonizing death by strangulation.
He made a will givinghis body to DR..
Clemmer, the penitentiary physician,
for scientific purposes and to be Gre
mated after being dissected. Nell
Lowry, his female friend in Cleveland,
recently wrote Morgan requesting his
body and he decided to let her have it.
Sam Eddy today made formal applica-
ton to Warden Coffin for the remains
and they will be sent to Cleveland for
burial.
Morgan wrote his last request upon a
piece Of paper at midnight and handed
it to Deputy Warden Cherington. The
Warded asked him about the contents,
and Morgan replied that it was his last
request. 1t requested the warden to ex-
clude Sheriff Sawyer and Detectives
Lohrer, Reeves and Harmon from the
execution room. They were informed
that they would be requested to remain
in the reception room adjoining the ex-
ecution room until the black cap was
drawn and then step in and witness the
execution.
The procession started from the an
mex at l a. m. The execution was wit
messed by about thirty persons. Nor
gan was on the scaffold when the spec
tators entered the execution depart
ment. He looked like a high toned
gentleman dressed for an evening ball
The warrant was read and Morgan
refused to say a word, but about forty
persons entered the corridor leading to
the annex at los o'clock. There was
but a short halt made by the crowd in
the ante-rOOm and at 1:15 o'clock the
spectators were admitted to the room
in which the execution was to take
place. AS the crowd filed into the
room in which the execution was to
take place the condemned man Warden
Coffin, Deputy Warden Cherrington
and Deputy Patton were seen upon the
scaffold.
Morgan was dressed in a neat suit of
black and sported upon his bosom a
bouquet of white flowers. He stood
immovable between the warden and
his assistants.
When all was ready and the cap was
drawn down, and the rope began to
tighten, Morgan spoke In a loud tone:
Good bye, Nellie" and he passed
through the trap at lib. The work
was not successful. The body writhed
in greatest agony, and the legs jerked
while the arms swung and the hands
clutched. He slowly strangledt to death.
The scene was a horrible one.
Morgan was hanged at 1:25 a.. m. local
twenty-five minutes later.
A letter of Morgan,s has been discov-
cred, which was written to a tough
named Tom Draper, of New York, dat
ed June 2, in which he gives his real
name as Charles Mcdonald. The fol-
lowing is the letter in full:

On the first of January, 1883, the
Baltimore and, Ohio Rail Road Co.
will inaugurate the sale of local
Round Trip" tickets at all its
offices east Of the Ohio River.
These tickets will be sold to any
station on the line east of the Ohio
River, at a discount averaging
about ten per cent Of the regular
rate, and they will be valid for pas
sage for thirty days, including day
of sale. They will be sold for all
trains, every day in the year, and
it is expected that their introduc-
ton will bring about an increase
in the volume of local travel that
will, eventually, more than COM
pensate the Company for the reduc-
ton in rates.
We have no doubt this voluntary
action on the part OF the Baltimore
and Ohio Company will be appreci-
ated by the people depending upon
it for the means of transportation,
and believe that ultimate results
will establish the wisdom of its
liberal policy.
