HE SMILED At DEATH.



WILKEsBARRE, Pa. March 26.-George
Washington Moss was hanged here in the
prison yard at 1918 o'clock this morning.
Moss walked to the gallows smiling with
firm and fearless pace. He said God
does not hold me responsible for the muir
der of my wife and | do not hold myself
responsible, l die like soldier with a
smile" Death ensued in II minutes.
On awakening this morning from rest
less sleep the doomed man wanted to know
from the warden how. the weather was:
He was informed that the golden rays of
the sun had sent its cheerful beams over
the city and the valley and they pene-
trated the bars of his cell. He paced his
cell unmoyed by the consciousness that
his time on earth was swiftly terminating.
His obstinacy hid whatever remorse or
emotion might have been struggling in his
bosom for expression.
The hanging was witnessed by only few
persons jury of IL, % deputies and 10 re,
porters. The execution was conducted
without hitch. At $50 o'clock Moss was
visited by the Rev. Hayden of the Epis-
copal church and an hour of religious
devotions were held in the warden's pri-
waite room in the prison. :.
Before the condemned man left his cell
he said to an Associated Press reporter:
II am sorry for the sheriff, who is my
friend. 1t must be an unpleasant job for
him am glad the end is here. don't
think l ought to die, and if these were my
last words, | never knew that | had shot
my wife, but guess did it and would
sooner die than live in prison all my life
am thankful to my friends, the warden
and the press. who tried to save me and
as soon as the sheriff is ready / will show
those present how a brave man can meet
death in this horrible way. have faced
it too often in the battlefield. Do not
think that accomplishing, am ready to
die and / will meet my fate without a
murmur if l can possibly do so. If the
sheriff would allow me | would pull the
cap over my head myself and pull therope
too. Good bye, God bless you"
Moss was hanged for the brutal murder
of his wife October 10th, 1889 The.crime
was committed early in the evening of the
day mentioned. There was no accom-
panying frenzy or passion or even mild
quarrel The murder had been deliber-
ately and maliciously planned, and in the
most nonchalant, cold blooded fashion.

rUrpER.s TRIP DELAYED.
Cause of His visit to Washington Bein
Postnnnel TemporariIy.


CHICAGO. March GA special dispatch
from Ottawa, Ont, says: There has evil
IDENTIFY been some hitch in the projected
trip Of Sir Charles Upper and his col
leagues to Washington ard it is believed
that it is to the refusal of Newfoundland TO
Jointly negotiate with Canada for reci-
procity with the United States that the de-
lay may be attributed 1t is learned, how
ever, from reliable quarter that q meet
ing of the cabinet is to be held to discuss
the matter when some definite action may
be decided on.
Sir Charles view of what reciprocity
should be and the limits to which the
dominion government is prepared to join
the negotiations are somewhat at variance.
Sir Charles idea is more liberal in scope
and application than the view of his col
leagues. Sir Charles during the recent cam
paign while in Nova Scotia assured the
electors of the province that whatever ar
rangement might be made for the recipro-
cal exchange of commodities between
Canada and the United States there would
be no modification in the duty imposed on
bituminous coal imported from the United
States. 1t is learned that this assurance
was given upon his own responsibility
and that several members Of the cabinet
especially those from Ontario are opposed
to any such arrangement.

FLED FROM CHILLI.
Two Americans Flee From the Country
in Anticipation of Bloodshed.

SAN Francisco, CAL, March 25.-Alfred
and Frederick Lee two brothers, arrived
here yesterday from Valparaiso, Chill, on
the bark Guineyere. They were engaged
in the hardware trade in Valparaiso, but
the unsafe condition of affairs resulting
from the war which is now in progress
caused them to leave Valparaiso. They
are the first residents of that city to arrive
here since the outbreak of the trouble.
They state that the trouble had been brew
ing for some time and was principally
caused by the efforts of Balmaceda to
have one of his tools succeed him as
president.
When the Lee brothers left the inhabi-
tants were expecting bombardment at any
moment. The city was in an uproar and
all business suspended. No one dared to
express an opinion and men suspected of
sympathy with the insurgents were thrown
into prison by hundreds. Newspapers
were watched and nothing against BaIma-
ceda allowed to be published. Telegraph
and cable lines were seized by the govern
ment to prevent the facts leaking out The
Guinevere was the last sailing vessel to
leave the harbor and then only got away
by bribing the naval officers.

How This Period of Time Figures in
Ancient and Modern History.
Rev. NIinot j. Savage.
The rain that produced the flood fell
40 days and 40 nights After tn. rain
had ceased, it was 40 days before Noah
opened the ark Moses was 40 DAYS in
the mountain fasting. Forty days was
the period devoted in ancient times to
the embalming of the dead. The spies
spent 40 days investigating Canaan be-
fore they gave their report.
Elijah tasted 40 days in the wilder
ness after lie had fled from the anger Of
Jezehel, the queen. Jonah gave the in
hahitants of Ninevch Just 40 days in
which to consider his prophecy and re-
pent. Jesus tasted 40 days in the desert.
In old English laws 40 days has played
an important part. Forty days is the
time for quarantine.
A widow was permitted to occupy the
house of her dead husband 40 days
after his death. A stranger appearing in
a parish was allowed 40 days before he
must be enrolled as residing in some
particular place.
The members of the parliament were
exempt from arrest 40 days after the
propagation Of parliament and 40 days
before it met again. So the number 40
has played an important part in the
traditions, superstitions, the laws of
different peoples. In the middle ages
40 days was a period that was looked
upon by old doctors with superstitious
regard, as time when remarkable
changes might be expected to take place
in their patients,
Among the alchemists 40 days was
looked on as charmed number, when.
after certain rites and ceremonies. al
the expiration of that period the
philosophers stone, or the elixir Of life,
might appear.

DETROIT, Men, March 27.--Yester-
day morning large congregation,
mostly women, was gathered at st.
Joseph, a large stone Catholic church,
at the corner Of Orleans and Jay streets,
when a loud explosion took place. Dust
arose in clouds, from the hot air regis
ter. The startled women ran shrieking
for the doors, pulling, hauling and
scratching one another in their eager
ness to escape. One old lady, Mrs
Wethoff, was knocked down and her
leg broken by the tramplng of the ex-
cited throng. As Mrs. Weithoff is over
70 years old it is hardly probable that
she will recover. 1t is supposed that
the high wind blew out number of the
gas jets. Gas accumulated and the ex-
plosion resulted. The building was not
damaged.
