The Aged Murderer of Two Children
Hanged I'm Pennsylvania.
William Showers. 65 years OF age. was
hanged Mt Lebanon. Pa. for murder, in the
presence OF several hundred people.
Showers was arrested at Annville Pa, his
home May co. 1857, and May 81 the bodies Of his
two little victims were found in drain near his
house. In June he pleaded guilty, but after
ward, while witnesses were being examined to
determine the degree Of his guilt, he withdrew
his plea of guilty. September 81 he was again
brought up for trial, but 1t was not until No
vember 80 that the Judge set aside all proceed
ings in the case after the finding Of the bills of
indictment. December Is, 1857, he was again
arraigned in court, and after vain attempt
to secure a change OF venue, he was tried
and found guilty. When his grandchildren,
named William Keller and Samuel Speraw both
the children Of his unmarried daughter), disap-
peared, Showers attempted to allay suspicion OF
the crime by sorry about having taken them
across the mountains, seven miles away, to be
taken to Texas by friends. The children were
strangled in bed, and when found in the drain
near the house had ropes around their necks.
Showers desired to marry n woman who refused
to live with the children. hence the crime.

Mrs. Robinson, OF Massachusetts, VIII

Mrs. Sarah Jane Robinson. the Somervile
Mass. polsoner. will not hang. She will for
the rest OF her life remain in solitary con-
fnemcnt in the State Prison-the only fe-
male convict ever imprisoned in that
institution. and the second prisoner
to suffer solitary confinement. Governor
Amos and his council committed the death
sentence to solitary confinement for life.
When the condemned woman heard the
verdict she fell back into the chair and
moaned MY God! wish it had been the
other way" She had prepared her mind to
die. and the sudden end OF her misery
seemed far preferable to the lingering tor
ture of solitary confinement. For several
minutes she gave way to the widest out
burst Of grief and rocked to and fro, crying
out for death. Ever since her conviction
and sentence. Mrs. Robinson has stoutly
maintained her innocence. She expected to
hang. but said that in time her innocence
would be established. The action on the
part Of the Governor and the Council has
practically settled the question Of hanging
women in Massachusetts,. Tremendous
pressure was brought to bear in this case
to save that State from the disgrace of hang
ing woman. This has not been done
since July 10. 1889. when Rebecca Waugh
was hanged in Worcester for murder.

II. G. Dun x Co.'S trade review for last
week says:
The volume Of legitimate trade continued
large but important advances in transactions in
an .icipation OF an imp ovement in prices were
so large prior o the election that comparative
dullness followed. Wheat SPECULATION was sat
upon heavily by the stoppage Of exports from
the Atlantic ports and the enormous movement
from this Pacific coast. Another depressing fea-
ture was the export OF 400 900 bushels Of corn in
FIVE weeks, against 2,80,O0) bushels last year,
pointing to less foreign demand for wheat. With
assurances of larger supplies corn was Il cent
cheaper, with speculation narrow ana sales
only 4 d 0,0O0 bushels for the week. Oats were
/ cent dearer. The boot and shoe trade was de-
cidedly active and promis ng. Excessive pro-
du ,lion weakened the an hracite coal market.
Interior demand for bituminous had fallen of
Coke output in Western Pennsylvania exceeded
all past records Money was easy ut Nashville
firm at Kansas City, and in active demand at
Memphis, but nearly all points had an ample
supp iy. Scarcely any complaint was made Of
collections. Treasury disbursements for the
week exceeded receipts by only S5O0,000 Tho
