Wine and Water.

After recent State dinner Secre-
tary Blaine offered the following rela-
tive to the prominence of wine and
water in the Scriptures:
"Wine," said the Secretary, els
frequently mentioned with favor in
the Scriptures. When our Savior
came upon the earth one of the first
things He did to prove His divinity
was to turn water into wine, and
when about to take His departure one
of the last things He did to show His
owe for His disciples was to give them
wine and to enioin them to drink it
often in remembrance of Him.
ION the other hand, you search the
whole length and breadth of Scrip
ture and you will find only one man
who ever mentioned water. He only
asked for single drop of water and
he was in hell, which in all probable
ity was the best place for him"

NO FURTHER HOPE.
The Execution Must Take Place.

Deputy Sheriff A. G. Dawley re-
turned last night from Carson where
he went to make last appeal to the
Board Of Pardons in behalf of Josiah
and Elizabeth Potts. John r. Brad
ley went to Carson in the morning
and secured an informal meeting of
the Board before whom Mr.. Dawley
and Judge Bigelow, who accompanied
him from Reno, appeared and made
an able plea in behalf of the con-
demned prisoners. The members Of
the Board listened patiently and
courteously. to the argumentsadduced
in their behalf, and after the matter
had been thoroughly discussed, and
every argument in favor of a commu-
tation Of the sentence to life i'm
prisonment had been duly considered,
the Board held that there was no just
cause for such Communication, the
petition was refused, and the execu-
ton will be carried into effect on
friday, the 0Oth instant.
Thus perishes the last and only
hope for the unfortunate man and
his wife who since the 28th of JAN
uary, 1889, have been confined in the
County Jail. They were placed on
trial on charge Of murder, and on
the 18th day of March, 1889, the jury
rendered verdict of murder in the
LIST degree, aud on the 22nd day of
March, Judge Bigelow sentenced the
prisoners to be hanged on the 18th
dsy OF May, 1889. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court, which
tribunal affirmed the judgment Of
the lower Court, and again the
prisoners were sentenced to death,
Friday, June 20, 1880, being the day
fixed for the execution. An appeal
was then made to the Board Of Par
dons for Communication OF the SEN
tence to life imprisonment, but the
petition was denied. AS last resort
Mr.. Dawley went down to Carson, as
above stated, and final appeal was
made in behalf OF the prisoners, but
without avail, and there is now no
power to avert the impending doom,
and Josaiah and Elizabeth Potts must
