A MAN AND A WOMAN.

There Was a Hanging From Their Meet
ing, but the Telegram Meant Nothing.
1t was in Kansas, and it was legal hang
ing under the auspices of the United States
Government. The victim had committed an
atrocious murder in the Indian Territory,
and in spite of the fact that he had money
and influential friends, his life couldn't be
saved.
Old Jack Stillwe!l was executioner and
the prelminaries had been carried out in q
hurry, as the crowd was little impatient,
as the weather was too hot for them. The
poor fellow, whose enthusiasm had warped
his judgment in little matter wherein a
man and mans wife had figured, had
taken things very c0olly and was appar-
emily the b.ayeSt man in the party.
The trap was sprung all well enough, and
the doctors were croWdlng over each Otner in
their endeavOrS 10 ascertain the pulsatiOns
and other Interesting phenomena connected
with the object that dangled before them,
when all at once there was a stir of excite
nlent in the crowd, which parted in the CEN
ter to allow little boy through.
The appearance of the boy created intense
excitement. He wore a Western Union
uniform and he carried telegram, which he
handed to the Deputy Marshal who had
charge of the execution.
The face Of this official was n horrible
sight as he mechanically took the disp patch.
He looked around in terrified sort of way,
and as his eyes rested on the dangling fig
ure, he started, mOaned, and the miSSive
dropped from his trembling hands.
With scarcely less lremor a subordinate
picked up the telegram. But he did not
have the courage to open it.
Perhaps it was reprieve or stay of exc
cution.
A man-itwas old Jack Stllwell-with an
oath, snatched the envelope from the hands
that now held 1t. He tore it open and
read
The President can do nothing in the
case of Mosier. Convey his deepest sympa-
thy to the friends and relatives of the prs-
oner. "-Chicago Inter Ocean.

SoNoMA, Oct. Otto Gate. a clerk in

in-law OF Adolo ZeIler, the proprietor. has
been slowly bleeding to death from the nose
since 10 o'clock last Monday night. The
flow of blood has continued without inter-
ruption. although several doctors have been
in constant attendance the past four days.
Medical skill has failed to stop the hemOr-
rhage, aud it looks as though the injured
man will die. The poor fellow lies propped
up in his bed In the Union Hotel and is
hourly growing weaker. On the hour
and night above mentioned Albert
Estes. a baT-keeper employed In the
Sonoma House, entered the Union
Hotel and made an unprovoked assault

PLAYED CIRCUS.
A Child's Ride to Death on His Drunken
Fathers Shoulders.

A Ch1ld'S Ride to Death on HIS Drunken
Fathers Shoulders.
Just as night was falling eople living In
the streets adjacent to the Brooklyn end of
the bridge were startled at the spectacle of
a man, intoxicated, on horseback, riding
around in an aimless way. Perched upon
his shoulders was a child about 2 years old.
The little fellow. young as he was, seemed
to realize his peril, for he cried frantically,
appealing for some one to rescue him.
The reckless rider, who turned out to be
the child's father, lurched to and fro, and it
seemed as if he would fall to the pavement
and crush the child under him at any mo-
ment. The animal. which seemed half
frantic. turned into Adams street on brisk
canter. In turning the corner the man all
most fell off the horses back. at the corner
of Plymouth street the animal, tagged out
by incessant running and frightened by the
yells of some rowdies, stopped short. throw
ing the man headforemoSt into the street,
with his child under him.
Several persons who witnessed the acct
dent ran up to render assistance. Before
they reached the spot the man arose, lifted
the child on his shoulders, and mounted the
horse again. He started off on a trot.
Blood was streaming from the child's head,
staining his gown and his fathers gar
ments. He had gone but a short distance
when Detective 'Krarney and Officer Nc
Laughlin, who had heard of the occurrence,
caught III with him.
The officers stopped the horse and lifted
the child from his perilOus position. The
little fellows head was hanging to one side,
and his eyes were closed. He apparently
was in a dying condition. The policeman
ordered the man to dismOunt The rider
refused to obey orders, and the officers
dragged him off the horse.
An ambulance was summoned aud the
doctor who responded discovered that the
child's skull had been fractured at the base A.;
his face and one of his ears were cut. He
was taken TO the City Hospital.
The father was taken to the Fulton-street
Station. There he said he was Thomas

erned by fear of an Irish natiOn9 ?"
''The reputation of country is measured
what its neighbors think of it. A condemn
atory verdict was long ago pronounced by
England with reference to her conduct to-
ward Ireland. Parliament will never over
take the arrears in public business until
this terrible Irish policy is out Of the way.
In the period to come it is clear that it must
be friendship or enmity with Ireland. This
has been an alternative before England
for centuries and those ages when
enmity, not friendship, was chosen as the
alternative, it was enmity with the States,
not with the people. You have arrived at
a point decisive in your history. 1t is for
the future to say, after the next general
election, whether this enmity, if it con-
tinCeS, will be enmity with the people, not
with the States. If Ireland is oppressed
hereafter, it will be oppressed by you, the
people of England. The spectacle of One
people expressing another is the saddeSt.
the most heart-rending aud humbling
that can be seen on the surface of the
earth. l can never believe that the great
nation will place itself in such position. In
truth, this question has already been consid-
cred in some degree, and decided deeiara-
ton in favor OF friendship has been made in
the most constitutional manner by the re-
suits at the polls. Our opponents now ad-
nit it to be something formidable. COnStit-
uencies have spoken not only the sober, the
just. the true. but also the inevitable. [Great
applause Upon these vcrdicts Ireland
relies. You have watched her conduct
in the difficult circumstances of the past nine
months conduct which do not Hesitate to say
has evoked in every breast responsive
voice OF sympathy and Of increased conytc-
ton that we may deal safely and prudentiy
with our fellow subjects in Ireland. When
the proper person comes the general sense
of this country will ratify the judgment
already given at nearly a hundred points.
The entire people of England will, by
great and decisive majority, deter
mine to finally dispose of these
demands now made upon them in
the clearest and most audible tones. alter a
long and painful experience, made upon
them alike by their honor. their interest and
their duty before God and man."
At the conclusion of GladStone's speech
there was an Uutburst of enthusiastic Cheer

posed by HarcOurt and seconded by Morley,

COAST INTERESTS.


WASHINGTON, Oct AT the navy head
quarters it is stated that the recent Chilean
war ana the threatened outbreaks that
might arise with foreign powers over the
Hawaiian Islands have strengthened the de-
partment in the belief that large plant
should be located on the Pacific Coast.
There is but one opinion as to where it
should be located, and that is at Benicia.
Representative McKenna, who has been in
Washington at intervals throughout the
summer, has frequently taken occasion to
discuss this matter with Secretary Tracy,
who is now very much in earnest about the
matter. He believes that a plant for the
manufacture and assembling of steel forg-
ings should be constructed on the PACING
Coast by the Government as soon as possible.
1t is believed he will earnestly recommend
this to the next Congress.

Two Cinnamon were arrested at North
