VIII Refuse to Reply-He Declares One
Report Enough.
Yesterday was red-letter day at City Hall.
Mayor Gourley sent out notices to the chiefs
of the departments, asking them for more
complete reports Of their last years work,
now that the fiscal year is ended. Even City
Attorney Moreland was asked to give an ac-
count of the law department, and he has signi-
fled his intention of furnishing full account.
Chief Elliot also received letter. but will
not furnish report. The Mayors missive re-
quests Mr.. Elliot to give an itemized account of
all the costs received, similar account of all
expenses, including those denominated ''out-
door" relief and transportation furnished desti-
tute persons. a list of all the persons
in the various institutions. and how
long each one has been there,
insane department, what disposition is made of
the articles made by inmates. value of farm
products, cost of maintaining each inmate,
the employees, with salaries and nature of
services
Mr.. Elliot has read the letter and does not
expect to give it much further attention. In
an interview yesterday that gentleman said:
Ihe Mayor simply wrote to make big blow.
he must have given his letter to the news
papers before the ink was dry. His idea, L
guess, is to get all this mass of information and
then issue report for the city in his name.
He has no authority to ask for this report. He
was furnished with the one required by law
last year. ! am not under that man. 1 AM
only responsible to the people who elected me.
Ii L don't suit Councils can walk
out SO quick that it will make their
heads swim. 1t would be impossible to furnish
the data he asks for. He would have to have a
complete transcript of the books. 1t would
take couple OF months to give q transcript of
the record of every ward of the city. l do not
have any clerks to do the work. am not hiring
any clerks to sit in the office. My clerks have
to work. 1t would be impossible even to tell
what cures have been made in the insane de-
partment. but we can tell how many discharges
have been made. Everything is recorded on
our books, and they are open to any taxpayer
in the city, but positively will not publish the
poverty of any individual. The books are open,
but we have no time to make transcripts"
Mayor Gourley was seen yesterday, and said:
"The letter TO Chief Elliot was mailed Wednes-
day evening. and l gave it out this morning,
because the public has right to know about
these matters"

Florence is one of the most desirable consul
ates in the gift of the President and Premier.
IL is not only one of the most important cities

artistic advantages of this beautiful city.
A dispatch from the Washington staff corre-

After two years of waiting for the action of
this cautious administration, Mr.. James Werner

thusiastlc Fish Commissioner of Pennsylvania,

Florence. the most attractive capital of Sunny

determination to get this place.

have disheartened almost any one
else, has largely bv his own untiring efforts at
last succeeded. He has at all times had the
favor OF good friends of Mr.. Blaine, but even
these seemed Intellectual until after Represen-
tative Dalzelps star rose with the admInistra-
ton. Mr.. Long brought the able and eloquent
Pittsburger 10 his assistance. This has been
Mr.. Longs one political ambition, and his host
OF friends in Allegheny county, and in various
parts of the country will rejoice at his success.
He succeeds Isaac R. Diller and as he will have
the appointments of a vice consul he may soon
know how it is himself to hold audience with
Office seekers.

From the Nicelys at Somerset.
A dispatch from Ebensburg says: Harry
Marsh was hanged here to-day. About 700

hearty breakfast. The entire morning was

goodby. Among his callers were his brother.
two uncles and the mother and sisters of the
murdered girl. They all broke down, but
Marsh cOnsoled them with the fact that lie was
ready and willing TO die, and told them not to
weep for him.
He ate dinner with apparent relish, and then,
with mis- spiritual adviser, resumed his prepara-
tons for death. AT LII P. NJ. the Sheriff read
the death warrant, and when he had finished

Gentlemen, wish to say that am sorry for
what l have done, and am willing to pay the
penalty. have good brothers and relatives
sheriff Stineman and Warden Young have
peen very kind to me, and 1 wish you all good

he added Don't you fellows put ont false re-
ports about me-" his last remarks being di-
rected to the newspaper correspondents.
He was then handcuffed, his legs strapped
and the black cap drawn over his head. At
l:55 the Sheriff pulled the lever. Marsh
dropped and hung still for about minute.

all was over. Several minutes later death was
said to have taken place, his neck having been
broken in the fall. His remains were given
over to the charge of his brother and taken
to Peale for burial.
Marsh had received letter from the Nicelys,
who told him to bear his fate like man. and
that they also would soon fill just such a grave
as he, though they were Innocent Marsh, in
his reply, devoted great deal of space to ex-
pressing religious sentiments. He wrote a
great many letters yesterday, chiefly of conso-
lation to his friends. In the one to Warden
Young he asked the pardon of the latter for
trying to commit suicide. and said he was sorry
he had been so much trouble.
