RUTHERFORD, y. j.. Aug. D.
Young [. Harrison Carter hurried
INTO the railway station here at @
O'Clock last evening, and. while
buying a ticket to New York, told
the station master that he was
about to elOpe with Miss Ella
Zimmerman, sister Of Assembly,
man George Zimmerman. The

nervOusly from the station TO the
s'eps of an uDoccupled house near
by, where Miss Zimmerman sat
with two girl friends, who bad gone
to the station with her to see her
off.
When the New York train ar.
rived, shortly before 10 o'clock,
Carter bundled Miss Zimmerman
quickly into the rear car, AMI IN
three minutes was beyond the
reach of papa Zimmermau's wrath.
Carter is wood eugraver. Mr.
Zimmerman decided long ago that

suspected that his daughter was

PAY THE PENALTY OF THEIR
CRIMES TO DAY.
ROCKY MOUNT. VA, August %

ROCKY MOUNT, VA, August %.
George Early and Byrd Woods,
were brought from their cells at
1915 A. NJ, to-day and the order
of the court read to them 10y Sheriff
Price. After the reading and a
prayer by the Rev. p. G. Clark,
they were asked by Sheriff Price ii
they had anything to say.
Byrd Woods responded III a talk
of about twenty minutes making
no confession, but protesting his
innocence. He said his own color
had lied on him and brought him
to the gallows, but he had forgiven
them aud knew he would soon start
for the great white throne. His
voice was strong, though once or
twice it weakened, and at the close
he was in tears.
George Early next talked about
SIX minutes. He made no con-
fession, but said he had lied IN the
trial, but that he had asked for
glveness and was assured that he
had received 1t from the Lord
that he had no malice against any
one, and that he would soon be on
his way to Heaven. HIS voice was
strong throughout. They both
spoke in the highest terms Of
Sheriff Price and his deputies for
their kindness.
The execution was conducted
very quietly in the presence OF the
officers of the court aud about
forty citizens. Neither of their
necks were broken. Life was pro
nOunOed extinct IN twelve minutes.
They were nicely dressed In black
suits. The drop fell at 1898
o'clock. Their bodies we're en-.
closed In neat cOflins and delivered
to friends for burial.

ON THE VERGE OF FAMINE.
SERIOUS CONDITION IN IRELAND
BY REASON OF THE BLIGHT OF
HE POTATO CROP.

Although the London papers
still discuss the subject in small
type on their inside pages and have
not thought it worth while to send
a single staff man to inquire into the
exact situation, says the London
correspondent OF the New York
Times, the conviction that an Irish
famine is impending Is slowly as.
sertlng itself in the popular mind
as the dominant topic OF interest.
The progress OF the idea may well
be called slow, for the warning
that a blight had set in came from
southwest Cork as long as the
middle of May, and in July the
parish priests by scores had print
ed statements of the disaster
hanging over their people; yet it
is only fortnight since Mr.. Bal.
four spoke of having just learned
that there was some little trouble
with the crops in certain districts,
aud, as has been said, even now
the London press only reprints
summaries of the Investigations re-
ported by the Irish papers. Yet
these are enough to show the ter
rible nature of the outlook. AL
ready the dread disease known as
Wfamine feverr-words which call
up such sinister memories in all
old enough to remember 1874
has made its appearance in the
barony of Clonakllly, which IS CON-
posed of rough coast land between
Kinsdale and Skibbereen. One
death has occurred and numerous
prOstratiOns have been caused by
eating diseased potatoes. OF the
5000 people in this district nearly
enc half Will be entirely without
food by the middle Of September,
and the gravest fears are enter
tanned that before that date an
epidemic of famine fever or Eng.
liSh cholera will become fastened
upon the country. The potatoes
are so badly diseased that even
the pigs are injured by eating
them. In the district round about
Youghal, including the notorious
Ponsonby estate, the farmers are
blowing all the potato land up
with the intention of planting
cabbages, in the hope of providing
some sort of food tor the winter.
These are the ouly illustrations
chosen at random from the whole
countryside. Thus far nothing
has been done here, or elsewhere
in England for that matter, except
languldly to discuss the subject.
But a weeks time will gee it Occu-
py the principal place in the
public talk and thought.
