HIT e,nEAeain,

The Pittsburgh Dispatch has caught
three more Welshmen fresh from their
native land who are looking around
with a view to locating tin plate plants
in this country. They declare that
their industry in Walse has been dealt
a terrible blow by the Mckinley bill;
that it i, foolish to say that tin plate
cannot DO made in this country; that it
is being made and will be made until
We mako enough to establish our in
dependence OF foreign manufacturers;
that they are sorry it is so, but so it is,
and this is why they mourn and look
about for a new abiding place.
These frank Welshmen would do we'll
not to sea SO much on each side Of the
Atlantic, at all events not to tell so much
Of what they see and know. The Dem
ocratic free traders will not stand much
of this before they begin to call names.
Before long they will DO romindin:,
these prospectors that
Paddy was a Welshman,
Paddy was n thief,
also q prevaricator and all the undesir-
able things which they say OF every
body who dares to take the American
viewof any question and has the unpar-
donable boldness to know what he is
talking about.
To say: as these visitors do, that they
have no hope Of the repeal OF the tin
plate duty, to point to the fact that tl.is
country does not repeal essential duties
once it levies them; viii, DO regarded as
apostacy. SO rank as to Justify tho throw
ing Of some of the mud bombs kept
constantly in their arsenal for people
who know things against free trade and
have the temerity to admit that protec-
ton is going right on in the line OF per
fecting the work so we'll begun.

THE Awful HOURS
TGAT MEAN TIE DOOM OF MURDERER VIII
LIAM MAIER DRAWING TO A CLOSE.
How the Condemned Man Thinks, Feels and Acts
Diligently Preparing For the Life Beyond.
A Full Realization Of the Approach
ing End

Murderer William Maier's time on
earth is short. He has but few more
hours to enjoy life, as tomorrow, be-
tween the hours Of ten and four o'clock,
1.-THE exact time not yet being fxed),
he pays the penalty Of the crime.
Within the cold and cherries walls OF
the cell he sits there calmly awaiting
the fate that is before him. Above all
and before all other thoughts are those
concentrated upon November 18th.
When Maer was informed yesterday
morning that Governor Fleming had
refused to commute his sentence, he &C
cepted the decree apparently unmoved,
as he has never at any time mach ex-
pected that Clemency would be au-
Judged. He was Informed by one OF the
guards now serving in the death watch
The condemned man occupies one OF
the debtors cells on the second floor OF
the old Jail on the north side, just next
to the cell occupied by DIR. Garrison.
There is one window in the cell, close y
barred, while the door leading into the
hallway is left open at intervals, the
death watch being kept up night and
day, so that there is no possible means

THAT LITTLE JOKE
OVER AT ETNAVILLE WILL LIKELY RESULT
IN The VICTIMS DEATH.
The Clothing Of John Stllwell Saturated With Oil
and Set on Fire - Threa Arrests
Made.

On Monday evening John Stillwell,
roller at the Etna mill, in Etnaville,
was the victim OF what was intended to
be practical joke, but which will in
all probability result in his death. The
affair has been so complicated that even
at this writing the exacs parties impli-
Gated in it can not be ascertained. 1t
seems that on Monday afternoon after
StiIlwell had completed his run at the
rolls, he intended to work double turn,
which would take nearly all evening.
Instead of going home before entering
on his second duty, he sheltered himself
in one corner Of the north end OF the
mill to take rest. While all curled up
in this corner a number OF other fellow
workmen came along, and concluded
they wonld play a joke on him
by waking him from his peaceful! slum
Der. They employed the most barbar-
Gus means to accomplish their purpose.
Fully one half gallon Of carbon oil
was poured over his pants, from the
waist to the knee. saturating them
thoroughly, then they applied lighted
match to the clothing reeking with
oil. In an instant the oil ignited, and
then horrible sight followed. Still
well, all ablaze, sprGng to his feet, stag
gering about in bewilderment. The
men at once realized they had made
mistake and carried their Joke" too
far. and made a desperate attempt to
eXtinguish the fame, but not before
the man was horribly burned from the
stomach down TO the knees. He was at
once taken to his home in Martins Ferry,
where Dr. w. b. Shuttleworth was sum-
moned and dressed the burn Of the un
fortunate man, who at that time was
suffering untold agony. From that
time he has been lingering between life
and death, at times being reported
dead. His physician reported him rest
ing somewhat easier last evening, al
though by no means out Of danger. The
men connected with the affair suddenly
disappe AIRED, and it was not until yes
terday that any were arrested. The re-
port from the Mayors Office in Martins
Ferry last night was that three men
were now under arrest. =. Nothing will
done with the men, however, until
there are further developments in the
condition Of Stilwell.

An Inhuman Act.

Yesterday evening about 4 o'clock
pedestrians on the suspension bridge
witnessed mean and inhuman act on
the part of a woman, who, accompanied
by little child, was passing over the
bridge. The two were being followed
by a small house dog Of the "iice"
species, which seemed to annoy the lady
very much. Suddenly she stopped,
called the animal TO her, and fondling
him long enough to secure q good hold
upon him lifted him and dashed the
poor creature over the railing The
dog fell to the water below, a distance
Of 100 feet, striking with loud report
and bowls of pain. The little child,
whose pet the dog robabIy was, seemed
inconsoable, but the woman walked on
as unconcernel as though she had only
tossed banana peel off the bridge.
The unfortunate dog, after brave
struggle IN the chilly water, reached
the shore and limped away, no doubt
fully realizing the fact that our boasted
civilization aud human kindness to
dumb animals do not always 20 hand In
hand.

Governor Fleming, before any move

Harrison and Maier, and asking that
any Communication of Harrlson's sentence
should be accompanied by similar acton

that in his opinion both men had had a
fair trial, were unquestionalIy guilty
and merted their punishment. but that
the same punishment should be melted

4 Card From a THATCHER.

To ne Ed,tUr Of tie Rooster:
SIR: In your issue OF the 18th inst.
appeared an article headed "A Chance
For Improvement" la v Indication of
the teacher and pupils Indirectly re-
ferred to, would say THAI the teacher
never called upon the Democrats and
Republicans to stand up, a1 d never said
that 1.-THE fathers of the Democratic
children are rebels"
The whole story grew out of very
pleasant and interesting history lesson,
which occurred early in September,
when the teacher strOve to Empress the
lesson that both parties are bow work
ing for the general good of the country,
and that there are as good mlen in one
party as in the other.
No partisan work has been done, poll
tics never having been discussed. The
boys aud girls of this room are( enthusi-
astic students Of history, anf regret
deeply that their work in their pet
study has been thus misrepreseInted.

of escape, or no way OF Self-destruc-
tion without being detected in the act
On the west side of the cell is the iron
.bedstead upon which the condemned
man will enjoy but one more night Of rest.
Just opposite on the other side of the
room Is another bedstead which remains
unused. There is one chair in the room,
or rather a sort OF stool, as the back is
broken off. Maier, during his confine-
ment, appears to have displayed some
little ingenuity, as among other things
he has constructed an imprOviSed writ
ing desk which well answers the pur-
pose. 1t was constructed with scarcely
any tools TO work with, as nothing Of
this character has been allowed him,
Maier spends most of his time reading
and rejecting, eat ng his three meals
regularly and rema ming up throughout
the day. He seeks his couch rather late
at night, and arises cOrrespondingly In
the morning. Much Uf his time is spent
in reading certain passages in the
Bible and also Meditatons on Death.
Rev. Father McEligott was first
called TO visit Maier about nine o'clock
on the evening Of October II, and has
visited the condemned man regularly as
spiritual advisor ever since, doing much
to soften his feelings, and ease his path
TO the gallows.
The Reverend Father has visited him
almost daily ever since, and sometimes
twice day. One Of the visits have
generally been in the early evening
when Father McElligott would engage
,i+L
last night at o'clock. The murderer
appears to be fully resigned TO his fate,
and is making active preparations for
death. He appears to have full reali-
cation of the fatal day, and is not I'M
mindful OF the duties that confront him.
During his confinement Maier does not
appear 10 nave changed much physi-
caly, and has apparently lost little
flesh.
He writes at intervals, and has sent
notes to the dailypaperS that have been
published from time TO time. The only
visitor that has been allowed in his cell
during the past few weeks has been
Father McElligott. A lady from Mid
dleton, Conn, called yesterday to see
him, claiming she was an old friend of the
condemned man, but she was refused
admittance, the orders being positive in
this regard.
Tomorrow morning before the hang
ing Father McElligott will go to his
cell and pray with him, and administer
extreme junction, and at the hour OF the
hanging, the Reverend Father will adj
vance to the scatTod with him still
praying all the while. Whether the
condemned man will make a statement
on the gallows is not known, but if he
does, it is thought it will likely be
short,

SOME VERY PERTINENT FACTS.

Some OF our German citizens, who
very likely have not had access TO all
the facts, appear TO have some feeling
towards Governor Fleming for his re-
fusal 10 commute the sentence of death
against Maier. and the allegation has
been made that this refusal TO exercise
Executive clemency was only because
Maier was a "poor German" and that
had he been a rich man, it would have
turned out differently. To show Gov

matter, il is only necessary 10 cite his
