THE CONDEMNED MEN PARTAKE
OF A HEARTY BREAKFAST AND
THEN MEET DEATH WITHOUT
FLINCHING-THEIR CRIMES.
PETERSBURG, Va, May 3.-Em-
pOria, in Greenville county, a town
Of about 700 inhabitants, was the
scene today Of an event that has
not occurred in Virginia for many
years. 1t was a double execution,
the condemned being two cOlored
men, named Walter Harris and
Robert Williams, who bad been
convicted of murder in the first
degree. Their victims were An
thony Parham and Emerson Ma
son, cOlOred, both of whom we're
killed with axes. Williams made a
confession IN the jail last night,
and said the murder was the re.
suit of an old grudge. Both men
rested quite we'll last night, and
this morning partoOk of a nice
breakfast, which they ate with
much relish. They were then seen
by their spiritual adviser, Rev. Mr..
Perdue, of the Methodist Church,
who talked and prayed with them.
At II o'clock the march from the
Jail to the scaflOld, which had been
erected in a corner OF the Jail yard,
was taken up, the condemned men
being attired in entire new outfits.
They assembled the scaffold with
firm tread and exhibited very little
nervousness or excitement. After
ascending the scaffold they were
asked by Sheriff Lee If they desired
to make any statement, when each
one of them replied : awe have no
ill-feeling against any man and we
are prepared to die" Prayer was
next offered by Rev. Mr.. Perdue, al.
ter which the black caps we're ad-
'usted. The trap was sprung at
twenty minutes to one o'clock, the
fall being about four feet. Both men
died from strangulatiOn, each one
having his neck broken. In a few
minutes life was pronounced ex-
tinct and the bodies were cut down.
There were only about % persons
admitted into the jail yard to wit.
ness the execution. \ fence OF
sufficient height had been erected
around the jail yard to prevent a
view of the execution from the
outside, where there were cOngre-
gated several hundred persons,
white and colOred, who had come
from all sections of the county in
every conceivable kind of vehicle,
hoping to catch glimpse of the
hanging. The crime for which
Walter Harris forfeited his life was
committed on the 18th of NOvem-
Der, 1855, and the motive which
prompted it was to come IN posses
sion of 800 which Harris knew
Parham had Just received for some
work done BY him. He was con-
victed at the January term Of the
county court of murder in the first
degree and sentenced to be hanged
to day. Robert Williams killed
his victim, Emerson Mason, on the
22d OF February last by Draining
him with an axe while he was
asleep in bed. He was convicted
at the tlarch term of the court and
sentenced to be hanged on the Sd
Of May, 1889. The cause of this
murder was jealousy. Williams
was a native of Petersburg.

POLITICAL REVOLUTION.

Republicanism is making steady
progress in the south. Mr.. 10. j..
Wins, of Athens, Tenn, editor aud
proprietor of the Ath ems Tenn
Post. and chairman Of the Demo.
cratic county committee OF McNlinn
county, Tenn, has, in an able and
unanswerable document addressed
TO the county committee, which we
publish this morning, renounced
the Democratic faith aud placed
himself sQuarely upon the platform
OF RepublicanlSm. This act is one
of more than ordinary significance.
It's a political revolution.
Mr.. WINS is the editor and pro
prietOr of the Athens Tenn Post,
tie oldest paper in the state, and
the oldest Democratic paper IN the
south published under continuous
name. The Post has long been
considered the ablest Democratic
journal in Its section, and its ut
terances on public questions have
always ELECTED attention and ap-
prevail wherever read. IL has been
fearless and OutspOken in every
emergency, and its candor at such
times has made il a power among
the people. Its present editor, tue
son Of the founder Of the Post, IS a
native Tennesseean, coming OF
New jersey stock, the elder lvlnS,
now deceased, being born in the
vicinity of Trenton. Mr.. Ivlns
has been prominent in the Demo
cratic conventions of the state, was
United State marshal OF the cas-
tern district of Tennessee during
the first two and a half years Of
the Cleveland administration, was
afterward mayor Of Athens, and Is
a consistent member OF the VI. T..
Church South in that place. He
is an earnest, active advocate OF
southern development, and has
been one of the leading spirits in
the rapid progress shown n his
section. The political expressions
of no man in that portion Of the
south, perhaps, would attract more
attention than will those Of the
editor of the Athens P0st.--Na-

internal revenue in this district un.
der S. p. kirkpatrick, in company
with Deputy Collector Nanderiord
and Deputy Marshal y. II. TEN.
Die to-day went in search of some
illicit dIstileries in Johnson county,
near Wyatt's Mills, seventeen miles
south of Raleigh. They found one
still and left BOuldln there to ar
rest its owners when the latter Te.
turned from dinner. He chose to
STAY, as he SAID he telt very tired.
Vanderford and Temple went on a
mile further to another distillery
aud destroyed it, at the same time
efiecting the capture OF TWO moon
sinners. While they were thus en-
gagged they heard gunshot, fol-
lowed by a pistol shot, then another
gum shot, followed by three pistol
shots. AS soon as they heard these
they hurried to the place where
they had left Bouldin. They found
HIM on the ground, propped against
a log. Vanderford said, care You
shot 2" BOuldin sad, 81 am |
downed him, but he got me-"
Bonldin was shot IN the chest
aud stomach. His right hand was
shot into strips. BOuldin said that
when the moOnshiners came up he
arrested them. The man submitted.
Bouldin then went to work 10 de.
molish the still. Suddenly, as he
took his eye of the mOOnshiner, the
latter stepped to one side, and,
SEEING his gun, shot at him, but
missed his aim. BOuldin then, at
ten wards distance, shot at the
moonshlner with revolver, but al.
so missed. Then the moonshlner
fired the second barrel OF shotgun,
and a load OF large shot struck
Bouldin in the body from the throat
TO the hips, making terrible wounds.
At the moment of this shot BOul-
din was drawing another revolver
from his breast, and many OF the
large shot struck his hand. Alter
receiving this dreadful wound
Bouldin, who is a brave man, fired
twice again, and one bullet struck
one OF the moonshiners, knocking
him down. He either got away or
was helped off.
BOuldin was placed IN a carriage
and taken to the house of DIR. Nc
Cullers. nine miles from Raleigh.
Vanderford left him there and hur-
ried on to Raleigh tonight. He
got physician here, and in com
pany with the latter and with Rev
enue Collector Marlborough return

left. Vanderford stated that 1t is
considered that BOuldn's injuries
are fatal. lie is a son of Judge
Bouldin, of Virginia. Nanderford
declined to give the name OF the
man who shot BOuldin or any per-
son connected with either distlllery.
There is intense indignation here
tonight at the news Of this affair.
1t IS said that there are many
moonshiners near Raleigh, and
that they are very daring. Van.
derford says that after he lett the
place where BOuldin was shot he
saw TWO moonshlners at a house
each armed with gun. They re-
tired into the house at his approach
and he expected each moment 10

TRAGIC END OF AN ELOPEMENT.
A YOUNG HUSBAND KILLS HIS
BRIDE AND HIMSELF.
MACON, GA. MAY "a specia

MACON, GA, May 5.-A special
to the Telegraph from Albany, Ga,
gIyes the details OF horrible
double tragedy at that place last
night. About 10 o'clock two pistol
shots rang ont in the heart Of the
fashionable residence portion of the
city, and when the cause of the
shots was disclosed it was found
that William Gilmore, a prominent
young man Of Albany, had shot and
killed his seYenteen.year.old wife,
Fannie, and then killed himself.
Gilmore and his wife had been
married only a few months, aud
their life together had been an I'M
happy one. Their marriage was
consummated by an elopement
made necessary by the bitter oppo.
sitlOD OF Mrs. Wells, the mother of
Mrs. Gilmore. After the marriage
however, Mrs. Wells seemingly be.
came recOnciled to the match, and
at her request Gilmore and his wife
returned to the home OF his wife's
parents to board. I'm few weeks
the troubles OF the pair began, and
they finally ended in Gilmore's
leaving his wife.
Friends interested themselves in
the matter and a reconciliation was
effected. THIS reconciliation, how.
eyer, was not permanent, and a
second separation ensued "a short
while since. Soon after the second
separation young men began to call
on Mrs. Gilmore. 1t was supposed
that this was the immediate cause
of the tragedy, tor day or two
ago Gilmore was heard TO say that
If he could not have Fannie no one
else should.
Last evening he paid what debts
he owed in Albany, purchased a
3S.caiber pistol, called at the office
of his wife's father and obtained
his permission TO call on Mrs. Gil.
more during the evening. AbOnt
$50 o'clock he called and was re-
ceived by Mrs. Gilmore in the par
Tor. What passed between the
pair will never be known, but
about 10 o'clock, Mrs. Wells, the
mother of Mrs. Gilmore, who was
sitting near the parlor, heard shot
ring out. She screamed, "What
was that Z" Gilmore replied "That
was for my beloved, and this is for
me- Immediately firing a bullet in
to his brain. When the mother-in
law rushed into the room the two
unfortunates were in the sgonies
of death.
The double funeral occurred this
evening and was largely attended,
as husband and wife we're very
popular in Albany.
