The Petersburg VA Indcr-Appeal, a
Democratic newspaper, does not intend
that Mr. Cleveland's Interpretation Of the
recent Virginia elections as meaning
Tariff Reform" shall be accepted as cor
rect, and it certainly knows whereof it
speaks when ]. says:
IF there is any tariff leaven working
in Virginia it is the leaven of protection

Dor. So strongly do We believe that
leaven 10 be wo king that it is our opin-
ion that if an election could be held to-
day squsrely and fairly upon that issue
and nothing else, majority, consider
able majority, of the votes cast would be
found TO have declared for the protective
tariff system or all the Southern States
Virginia il, we firmly believe, the most
pronounced for protection, with Georgia
a good second and Alabama poor third.

An Excursion Of 5000 Miles.


WAsHISGToN, ID. G., Nov. l5.--Just forty
two days after the morning of October 3rd, 4,
when the special train bearing the Inierna-
tional American excursion party pulled out
Of the Pennsylvania Riilroad station in
Washington, the same train, headed by the
locomotive which had drawn it nearly 5000
miles, rolled triumphantly into the capital
city and drew up at the station, having sue
cessfully completed the most interesting,
and, from a railroad standpoint, the most
extensive trip ever undertaken by one train.
1t was planned that instead of taking the
more direct southern route fiom Philadel-
phia TO Washington, the train should run
down by way of Harrisburg. so that the del
egates might see the beautiful susquehanna
Valley. and the rich farming lands ofthat
part Of Pennsylvania. This plan was fol-
lowed, but, unfortunately, the country was
not seen at its best, as the lowering skies and
heavy, driving rains confined the landscape
within narrow bounds. Nevertheless, all
was life and enjoyment aboard the train.
The wives Of some of the delegates, and 9TH
er ladies who had joined the party at Phia-
delphia were on the train Cor the first time,
and their presence added TO the happiness

His Horrible Death.

wooDBURY, n. j., Nov. lS.-Joseph NJ.
Hillman, the young murderer of Peddler
Seidemann, was hanged this morning in the
county jail. The gallows was in the corri-
dor of the Jail, within ten feet of HiIlman's s
cell. On it Van Hise. the Newark hangman
has executed lhirty-six persons.
The Sheriff jury, three physicians, some
ministers and number OF newspaper men
and Hillman's brother witnessed the execu-
ton. As the time approached HiIlman con-
tinued cool and firm. At 1927 he was taken
from his cell with the moose about his neck
and paced the few steps to the scafold.
When asked il he had anything to say he
said in clear tones
My dear friends, all have to say is that
my wife had nothing 10 do with il. ] am
the only Hillman who ever did anything. /
have forgiven all who had anything to do
with it, and some day hope to meet you in
heaven.
Hangman Van Hise quickly pulled down
the black cap, adjusted the moose, and at TO-
81 cut the rope, and Hillman's body boun-
ded into the air. Then there was CHASTITY
scene Hillman's neck was not broken, and
the knot slipped around nnder his chin. He
struggled desperately and got his hands al
most up to his mouth. Every one seemed
paralyzed, and Hiliman's brother, unable to
see the sight, left the corridor. Hangman
Van Hise lowered Hillman. whose strang-
ling could be heard some distance. to within
six inches of the ho0r and adjusted the knot.
Meanwhile the murderer was dying in
fearful agony. At 1855 the body was cut
down, placed in a rough coffin and taken to
his home. where it was buried near the
house.
On November 8, 1883, Herman Seidemann
Jewish peddler, stopped at Hillmans house
for the night While he slept Hillmann
crushed his head with hatchet, robbed him
of1409 and threw the body in a mill pond.

Found Murdered After a Spree.

HAzLEroS. Pa Nov. 4.-Michael Jagon
was found murdered at Milnesville.. near
here, last night, and the authorizes are seek
ing his cousin. Joseph Jagon, who is accus-
ed Of the murder. The honse in which the
crime was committed contains lot of bro
ken chairs, while the walls are all bespat-
tered with blood. A hatchet with blood
marks upon il was found. Both are Huns,
and jealousy is given as the cause of the
murder though the party had drank gal
lon of wbiskey. That there was general
fight is unquestioned, as John Toska was bad
ly beaten, Mike Jimco lost an eye and a
part of his right ear is missing, and Stephen
Boskes is minus part of his nose and injured

JOURNALS Of the free trade persuasion

proclaimed intention OF the Democrats
30 go gerrymander the State as TO prevent
the return Of Major Mckinley to Con-
gress. has effectually disposed Of that
gentleman's chances of being Speaker Of
the next House. This is the merest rot.
No Republican believes that Ohio has
left her moorings in the party. All con
cede that Mckinley is clear-headed,
selfpoised man, and that he would make
a splendid presiding officer; ani every
body knows that each Congress elects its
own Speaker, 50 that If it was certain
that he would not be returned to the 5lst
Congress, that is no reason why he
should not be chosen Speaker of this,

MoKinley's Seat in Congress Safe.

CANroN, o., Nov. 1.-THE talk about Mr.
Mckinley being gerrymandered out Of his
seat in Congress meets with little belief here,
as it will prove difficult task to form dis
trict in this part Of the State which McKin-
ley cannot carry. The attempt was made in
1854. when Congressman Dave Paige. of the
Akron district. was pisted against Mckinley
and the latter was elected by large major
ity. Should the Democrats succeed, howey-
