ONLY A QUESTION OF TAME
Representative Ferns Says Gen
erai Palmer Will Be
Elected.

Jerseyville, ILL.,, February 2S--
Representative Ferns, when asked
last night if, in case there was no
election, the governor could appoint,
after March 4. said the governor
would have NJ opportunity to APP
point successor to Senator Farwell.
because at that time on rch a the
legislature would be III session. and
the power of the governor, if he has
any az all, will b. taken from him by
the Legislature, which represents the
people.
"Will Mr.. S'reeter be elected"
"No. The republicans will not
elect Mr.. Stree;er. They are only
making him and The F. NJ. B. A.
membsrs believe that they intend to
do so in order to prevent the election
of the peoples choice, General John
NJ. Palmer. Since Mr.. Streeter's flop
back to the farmers, after promising
to vote IN the United States senate
for republican principles, even the
republican members who voted for
him are disguised with their own
course. Yet they will sacrifice the
sacred principles of their party and
keep on voting for Mr.. Streeter to
carry out the idea, "Any-
thing to beat Palmer The three in
dependents will keep on voting for
MIR. Stree'er as long as they can
swallow the republican members. If
they can whip the 100 members into
line to elect their man they will be
justified in doing SD but such result
is not looked for, aud it is only
question Of time when Palmer will be
electei."
Springfield, ILL.,, Feb 2S.-Only
nine members Were present at to-day's
session of the joint assembly. The
1920 ballot resulted: Palmer 6, Stree

Brutal Execution of a CulOyed
Murderer at Washing
Ton, Pa.

Washington, Pa. Fe1. 26.-Wm.
West, the colored murderer, attempt
ed suicide yesterday morning by stab
bling himself in the neck with a piece
of rusty iron which he had eonceale1
in his bed. Physicians were hastily
summoned and worked with him till
2 o'clock without being able to restore
consciousness. At 2 80 p. m. the con-
demned man, while in a semi-con-
scious condition, was strapped TO a
board and carried to the scoffOld. At
1888 the trap was sprung and the rope
broke. The murderer was in terriole
distress, and is took FIVE men to hold
him, though manscled. At 2:40 the
rope was strung up again, and this
time it was successful. At 2:4S West
was pronounced dead.
The crime for which William West
was hung was one OF the most deliber-
ate and thorough ever committed in
this section, ami everything alainst
the man was purely circumstancial,
yet convincing. A peculiarly of the
three murders was that the neck of
every victim was broken indicating at
once the tremendous strength and IN
suspicious feeling on the part Of the
victims as they were struck in the
back of the neck. On Wednesday
morning May IA, 1890, young son
of A. l.. Crawford, Of BentleyvilIe,
Washington county, was told by bis
father to take a saw over to John
Couch, who lived with his wife and
son near that villisge. TIE
little fellow reached the
house about $50 O'Clock and, after
knocking at both the front and the
kitchen doors, climbed up TO the
kitchen window and looked in. The
lying IN l. pooI'6I Doou 'UnS The -Hihsl63r

where his father Was working. and
told him what he had seen. Crawford
his son and several neighbors repaired
70 the Crouch house, where they found |
he mangled remains of the old man
md also OF his son Andrew and Mrs
Crouch.
The general opinion was that money

ccePted theory concerning the nature
{ the killing was that Mr.. Crouch

on him, which was aftarward b

home OF his own some day, with the
touch of light on bis brow that comes
but once-the light of youth an love

sits with the bl ,ck shadow of a shame
full death filling over him with its
black bat wings, alone, with the mem
DRY of terrible crime haunting him,
with the n.ournfu! sound of the
"might have been" ringing in his ears
and despair facing him until its breath
