The Day of Execution Of William Kemmler at

The Day of Execution Of William Kemmler at
Auburn, N.Y.-He Calmly Awaits the Hour.
AUBURN, n. Y, April 25.-The career
of William Kemmler is gradually ap-
preaching its termination, and nothing
but respite from the governor can save
him from the terrible experiment
of next week. He fully
realizes his position, and intends
to meet his fate unflinchingly. He
has no callers and no flowers. There are
no sentimental visitors to liouize him
and make him hero of the hour; there
are no delicacies and no dainty dinners
from admiring friends. Instead of all
this, there are the cherries walls of his
dismal cell to contemplate; the glimpse he
may catch OF passers-by on the street,
seventy-tive feet away, the laborious
study Of his pictorial Bible, occasional
visits of the warden's wife and
his spiritual advisers, and the
continual presence of his death
watch. Left alone, as he practically is,
TO mediate on the awful fate which
awaits him, it would be no small wonder
if the man should become nervous as the
day of execution appears, and he should
give way to some manner of emotion, but
not once has he shown any signs of weak
ening, but in fact he rather courts death
than shuns it. Arrangements for the
final act in the tragedy are substantially
completed.

Whose nerves are attuned to a sensitive key,
To suffer and suffer again.
Never deaf to the sound OF everyday sigh,
Never duh to the sight Of a tear;
Never deaf to the deep undercurrent of woe
That throbs in the Century's ear.
AS the pilgrims OF life tread the old beaten track
And are patient to stumble and fail
By the wayside, or what is more pitiful still,
Never know that they stumble at all.

went to q fire that was built on one side
of the grade for that purpose. A short
time afterwGrd a terrific explosion
occurred that was felt throughout the
camp, and a number of men were
thrown to the ground from the force of

some distance from the explosion. The
one who had been thawing the powder
was dead and the other man vas found
in an unconscious condition, from which
he had not recovered early this morn

he arrived on Thursday, and at once assumed
control of the rowing men of the club. Plaisted

that Plaisted trained the Potomacs in 1884, when
they were so successful against the pick of

The Washingtons. under the temporary man.
agement of Ted Sullivan, played two games yes
terday afternoon at Capitol Park, winning one
and losing one. The Lebanon Club was their
opponent, and Manager Randall. of that club,
generously agreed to accept only one guarantee
for both contests in order to help the players of
the home team out in their financial distress.
There were about 700 people present at the con-
tests, and they saw two well-played games, the
Washingtons winning the first in creditable
style. The visitors showed up well and gave
abundant evidence that they are likely set of
ball players, and as soon as they settle down
give "a good account of themselves. In the
first inning Phillips only pitched three balls, the
batsmen each striking at the first ball pitched on
which they struck infield hits aid were thrown
out at first. DAILY, of the Lebanons. not to be
outdune, struck the three batsmen of the Wash
ingtons out In the same inning. The Washing
tons played with considerable dash and spirit
and ran bases like race-horses. but their batting
was lamentably weak. Gleason, Hill, and Bird
did some creditable fielding, while Bader made
very pretty running catch. Whistler felded his
position well and got in a goou home run. The
fielding of Swift, Of the Lebanons was credita-
BILE as ever seen here this season, he making from
his position in right field two pretty double plays
to Graulick at the home base. DAILY gave
evidence of being a good pitcher and when
he steadies down and gets more command of the
ball will make record. 1t is useless
to give in detail how the runs were made, as the
score speaks for ITSELF In the second game the
previous one, as they could not gauge Smiths
delivery at all, or when they did made little pop
hits to the fielderS, while on the other hand the
Lebanons played spendidly, ran bases well, and
good game by the score of 5 to3. The fine catch
ing OF Graulick was the feature of the contest,
while Riddle did mastery service for the WASH
ingtons. The score of the games are as follows:
