The Rhode Island Republican
Convention Finishes Its Busi-

The Rhode Island Republican
Convention Finishes Its Busi-
ness in One Hour.
PROVIDENCE, March 21.-The Repub-
lican state convention met in Music
hall. A full list of the representatives
of the towns were present, and the
temporary organization was made per-
manent. On call for nominations for
governor, Gov. Royal G. Taft was nomi-
mated amid great applause. Gov. Taft
spoke of his inability to express his
thanks for the honor, but declared that
he could not change his mind from the
decision reached by him some time ago
not to accept the honor again. The Of
fee, he said, required sacrifices which
he could no longer make. On another
call for nominations, Gen. William
Ames nominated for governor Herbert
w. Ladd, of Providence, and he was
unanimously endorsed by the conven-
ton.
Hon. Enos W. Lapham was nom-
mated for lieutenant governor, but the
nomination was declined through Del
egate Emerson. Daniel g. Littlefeld
was then nominated. The rest of last
years ticket was then re-nominated,
as IOllO vs.: FOf secretary or state.
Samuel 81. Cross; for treasurer, Samuel
Clark; for attorney general. Horatio
Rogers. The platform congratulates
the people of the United States on the
return of the Republican party to adj
minister the nations affairs: indorses
the views of the national policy set
forth in President Harrison's inaug ural;
disapproves of the practical suspension
during the past four years of that lib
eral course of national pension legis-
lation adopted by the Republican party,
believing that it should be more
generous as the ages of these
brave men increase; condemns
the unwarrautable attempt made by
President Cleveland in his cruel vetoes,
to cast reproach upon the brave defend
ers of the Union, and upon the helpless
widows and orphans of those who fell
in defense of their country; believes
the liberal policy of pension legislation
followed by the Republican party should
be resumed, and the scope of the laws
extended to include every INDECENT
veteran soldier; pledges support to the
movement for Rhode Island soldiers
home, and welcomes the enjoyment of
the right of suffrage citizens of foreign
birth who have become voters. The
convention was in session one hour.

COOL NERVE.
Bishop, the Mind Reader, Wants
the Execution Postponed, That
He May Read Pete's Mind.

Bishop, the Mind Reader, Wants
the Execution Postponed, That
He May Read Pete's Mind.
A novel proposition, which would be
taken on sight for an advertising fake,
was made yesterday by Gus Thomas,
the advance agent for Washington Irv-
ing Bishop, the mind reader, who is to
be at the Hennepfn Avenue theater
next week. 1t is in the form of an offer
to Gov. Merriam:
Washington Irving Bishop, the thought
reader. whose wonderful power has been
witnessed and admitted by the finest minds
of the world, will pay a professional visit to
Minneapolis on Monday next. If the execu-
ton of Peter Barrett is stayed until that time
Mr.. Bishop will re-enact the entire crime as
1t lives III the memory of the condemned boy,
will accurately describe the appearance of
the accomplices in the deed, the victim and
the scene of the murder. Mr. Bishop, blind
folded, will conduct the prisoner to the very
spot where the killing occurred and abso-
lutely set at rest all doubts concerning the
part taken by the unfortunate boy in the
deed for which he stands condemned.
Should such Tublic investigation be con-
sidered inadvisable, Mr.. Bishop will, stand
ing blindfolded beside the prisoner, min
utely describe all that is above offered to be
enacted, i'll fact read the memory of Peter
Barrett.
Mr.. Brooks was yesterday lndefatiga-
BILE in his efforts to bring the matter be-
fore the governor, and tried to see the
Barretts. but this Sheriff Eye refused,
although their attorneys, of course,
said they would like to have the test
made. Last evening Bishop telegraphed
from st. Louis, stating that if there
is any doubt as to his abil-
ity to read Pete Barrett's mind
that Anton Huebler, chief of police of
st. Louis, should be referred to. 1t
seems that Bishop once gave wonder
full test of his powers to Chief Huebler
which was something of the same nat
ure he proposed to do in the case of
Pete Barrett. He asked the chief to
think of the most important and difficult
arrest he had ever made. The chief
did this, and then Bishop went on to
give perfect description of the GRIM
inal arrested, and more than that, went
to the rogueS' gallery unattended and
picked out the mans picture.

WORKING UP THE CASE.
How "Reddy' Played Judas and
Betrayed His Brothers.

Details concerning the working up of
the evidence in the Barrett case is crop
ping out every day, and some sepsa-
tional developments may be expected
before long. AS stated in the GLOBE
was arrested he was put into a dark
cell in the central station and Tim
brought in and placed in the cell to see
what he would do. A sort of telephone
had been fitted into the roof of the cell,
and Detectives Howard and Fair
bourne were at the receiving end ready
TO hear what Tim might say. AS soon
as he entered the cell and made sure
that he was alone with Henry he
began talking of the murder. During
the conversation that followed Henry
remarked: 81 don't think that they
meaning the law can do much with
me, for had no gun that night.''
''That's so,' was Tins reply, tine
and Peet only had guns, but guess
they didn't get the bullet from Pete's
gum"
Il guess it went clear through his
Leg" replied Henry. elf you had came
away that night when I hollered," he
continued, cit would have been all
right
"Well, we went into it, and 1 done
him, anyhow"
This conversation proves beyond a
doubt, by Tins own admission, that he
and Pete fired the two shots. and tnat it
could not have been Henry, whom the
two boys now charge with having fired
the first shot, for he had no revolver
with him.
The prosecution did not use this, as it
was found that it was not needed when
the cases came to trial.

A CITIZENS TICKET.
Winona Will Try a Mixed Munic.
ipal Ticket.

Special to the Globe.
WINoNA, Minn., March 81. = The
anxiously awaited meeting of the COM
mittee of seventy to nominate a citi-
Zens' ticket for the municipal election
was held in the board of trade rooms to-
night. Col. Alf Brooks was elected
chairman and W. G. Brown secretary.
There were fifty prominent citizens of
both parties present. The executive
committee submitted the following
ticket, which was unanimously adopted:
Mayor, d. J. B. McGauhey, DEM; as
SCISSOR, w. S. Drew, Dem.; treasurer,
John Lahse, Dem.: alderman at large,
j. f. Mccoy, Dem.; school director at
large, o. B. Gould, Rep; alderman
First ward, E. q. Nevins, Rep;
Second ward. S. R.. Van SAINT, Rep;
Third ward, Charles W. Anding, DEM;
Fourth ward, John Pellowski, Dem.
School Directors-FirsU ward, w. j.
Whippley, Dem.; Second ward, DR..
Thomas McDavitt, Rep; Third ward,
Frank Rackow, DEM; Fourth ward,
Christ Heintz, Dem. Aid. Mccoy, Van
SAINT and Pellowski, and School Director
McDavitt. are the present incumbents.
The ticket is considered reasonably
strong, and its success depends on the
action of the Democratic convention,
which meets next Wednesday. The
chair was authorized to appoint city
committee of five, and the meeting adj
JOurned after unanimous resolution to
support the ticket.

THE sCAFFOLD READY.
But tn e Procession Not Quite Ar
ranged for.


Arrangements are not yet completed
for the details of the execution so far
as the individuals who are to assist at
the final ceremony are concerned. Sher-
iff Ege stated short time since that
each prisoner will be accompanied by
three deputleS-one on each side and
one in the rear. The priests will prob
ably lead the solemn procession from
the cell room to the scaffold.
The scaffold is in readiness for it's vic
tins and the sheriff and his deputies
prepared to enforce their judicial func-
tions without tlinching. Sheriff Eye
bears up bravely under the strain. 1t
seems almost impossible that a man
could endure the pulling, wagging and
opportunities that have been his lot for
the past week. But he bears up like all
officer who had such upleasant duties to
perform every day ill the week, and
actually finds time to crack joke with
a friend, and, better still, he is kind
ness and courtesy itself to the reporters.
1t was 9:43 when the attorneys descend
ed for the upper corridor, where the
Barretts are confined. W. W. Erwin is
authority for the statement that he has
not made his last visit to his clients.
''If the worst must come," he said,
they'll die like men. l have the as
surance of each of the boys that they
will not weaken. They are not yet
without hope, and have not yet given
up the fight"
The visiting clergymen asserted they
intended to remain only snort time,
but it is now 1880 and the reporters
have not yet been admitted to the cell
room. Deputy Reilly says the Barretts
The clergymen are in the cell with them,
while Death Watch Frank Tinkham is
patroling the corridor in leisurely
fashion, probably to keep awake.

the Cracking of his joints as he vigor-
ously pulled his fingers, and he replied:
wal you know was friend of Jami-
sons and l didn't like to tell pothin'
that would go agin him, but when it
come to mans being hung for want of
my Speakin' | thought it was time to
open my mouth. I'm glad l done it; my
conscience is easier if it don't do Pete
no good.' He beaved sigh that may
have been of remorSe and may have
been of satisfaction with the extra
Jeweled, dOuble-back-action, stem-wind-
ing conscience he carries.
The last appeal of the afternoon was
made to the governor in the shape of
I. BryneS and David B. Johnston. and
signed by ten of the jury that found
Peter Barrett guilty. Mr.. Brynes tray
eled over $50 miles since Tuesday to
obtain the signatures, and then was
unable to find George Seek. of Eden
Prairie, and William Lyons, of Rich
field. Those who signed were r. M.
Mills, Of Independence; John Russell,
of HasSon; George Gange. of CorcOran:
George Hohenstein. of Greenwood: Jo-
seph Peppin. of Bloomington; f. Dal-
zlel. of Medina: Leonard Lenzen, of
Medina; Frank Hummel, of Plymouth; :;
Philip Gorham, of Corcoran, and Henry
Scuba, near Minnetonka. Added to the
signature of r. NJ. Mills, foreman of the
jury, and subscribed to by John Russell,
the oldest among the jurors, was the
special request to the governor:
do most earnestly hope that your excel
lency will grant the commutation of SEN
tence of Peter Barrett on account of his eX-
treme youth. and on account of the circum-
stances of the case, and Oh account of his pe-
ing led by his older brother.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The follow

vision Missouri, Chicago-The act of
congress approved March 2, 1889, pro-
vides in substance that no person shall
be permitted to enter upon or occupy
the land recently ceded to the United
States by the Creek and Seminole In
dians, until said lands are opened for

ident, and that no person violating this
provision shall ever be permitted to
enter any of said lands or acquire any

Another l.Iopement.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The hasty
marriage of the daughter of Chief
Justice Fuller has given a stimulus to
the young people of Washington. Miss
Kitty l.. Thompson. quite well-known
local singer, quietly travelled to Balti-
more this afternoon and was married to
Ewaldus l.. Berry. nephew of Sena-
tor Berry, of Arkansas, who is clerk to
the senator's committee. The ceremony
was performed by Presbyterian minis
ter. After it was over the young couple
returned to Washington and proceeded
to the home of the brides
mother and informed her of what
she had done. They received the
parental blessing, and in the evening
formed party at the theater. The
young lady, just before leaving the
house early in the day, laughingly told
her mother that she was going to imi-
tate Miss Fuller, but it was taken as
Joke. and the parents were much sur
prised when they afterwards learned of
the marriage.

THE FATAL LEVER.
Who Will Pull 1t Not Yet Made
Public.

Sheriff Eye has just completed his ar
rangements for guards of the prisoners.
Deputies George II. Johnson, Jacob
Rauen and Frank Ward will accompany
Tim, while John Siroix. John Peterson
and James Reilly will care for Pete.
Deputy Shepley will have charge
of the Jail office. while Deputies
Kelly and Baxter will act as turnkeys.
Deputies James Hynes and John Wall
will occupy stations at the foot of the
scaffold. 1t is lot yet known who will
pull the lever that will cause the fatal
drop. Even the sheriff does not yet
have positive information on that sub
ject. 1t is understood that the priests
will occupy stations on the scaffold, to-
gether with the deputies. The ropes
that will be used have already been
tested by drop with 170-pound
weight. and will again be subjected to
the same dead weight strain tomorrow
morning. The ''hangman's noose'' has
already been knotted by some mysteri-
Gus and-thus far-nnknown individ-
ual, and experts say the work is worthy

WILL ADJOURN NEXT WEEK.
The Senate Will Pack Up in Few
DAYS.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-In the
executive session CT the senate this
afternoon Senator Sherman announced
that President Harrison had informed
him that he (the presidenO would be so
far along with his nominations that the
senate might conveniently adjourn next
week. 1t is the expectation the special
session will end OH Thursday OF Friday
next. In order to assist the president
in his intention the senate did not take
the usual three-day recess to-day, but
will meet again tomorrow. This noti-
fication makes it practically certain that
no legislative business will be trasacted
before adjournment. Appointment sem
ator said to-day that this would be the
programme. There will probably be.
however, some discussion of the resolu-
tions introduced yesterday by Senator
Butler, declaring that the senate has
power to elect president pro TEN. for
service during an entire term of con-
gress, decision by the senate being
desired by number of senators upon
that disputed point.
