BRIEF TELEGRANS.

WAsH1NGroN, D. c., Nov. 11.--William
u. Cross, who has now been three times
resplted, Is to be executed to-day. The
case has no feature of particular interest
except as relates to the fight made by the
attorneys of the condemned man. Three
times appeals have been taken, each
resulting adversely to Cross. The crime
which he will expiate in death to-day
was a brutal wife murder. Cross is q
colored man and has persisted in de-
claring his innocence continually. His
final trial was before Judge Cox, of the
district criminal court.
New York.-Joe Goddard, of Australia,
and Peter Maher, of Ireland, go into
training to-day for their big fight before
the Coney Island Athletic club December
8. Goddard has taken up his quarters at
Mechanicsville, and Maher is doing
active work on Long Island. The fight
has aroused great deal of interest in
sporting papers and big bets have al
ready been placed.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The chrysanthemum
show, which is to be visited to-day by the
members of the diplomatic corps and
by such members of the cabinet as are in
the city, is reported to be the richest and
most complete floral display ever made
in this country. The White house gardens
are represented by specimens of chrys-
anthemums valued at thousands of dol
lars and the national botanical gardens
have display almost as fine. 1t may be
interesting to add in this connection that
no year has witnessed so great q number
of flower shows as 1892. There are now
in progress in the cities of the country over
100 of these exhibitions and the chrys-
onthemum is in each case the especial
variety displayed to the best advantage
Almost all of the shows in the larger
cities are equal, if they do not cell pse
that last week at Madison So uare garden
in New York.
New York.-The Ohio society will to-
day give formal reception to the big
delegation which attended the launching
of the Cincinnati, yesterday. This party
includes Mayor Mosby and his daughter, |
the young lady who christened the ship |
1t is likely too that speeches will be made |
by some of the Ohioans now resident in |
New York, including Gov. Hoadley,
should he be well enough to attend Gen.
Buttertield and Whitelaw Reid.
Washington.-Mr. Quay sententlously
Republican defeat to "lack OF
votes,' Secretary Foster says it was the
tariff.
Washington. air of gloom that
pervades the departments seem to show
that the clerks take little or no stock in
civil service.
Philadelphia.-The officers of the
knights of Labor will leave this evening
Or tomorrow for st. Louis, where the
annual convention begins early next
~eek. While no announcement has
been given out Of the possible retire
nent of Grand Master I. V. Powderly,
t is said to-day on excellent authority
hat if the various elements in the order
IAN be harmonized, he himself will favor
he election of A. W. Wright, the general
ecturer of the order, to succeed to the =,
position Mr.. Powderly now holds. The !
only contest promised at the coming
is that directed against the :
political action of some of the labor
eaders during the recent campaign. It
$ asserted that Mr. Powderly and others
vent beyond the plan of political action
outlined and endorsed at the Denver c
in 1891. John W. Hayes |
he secretary of the order, is certain of
collection.
