Suicides Before the Law Can Claim ven-
Eeance OF March -Four Other Murder
ers WaitinE Death.
Since Fitzsimmons has cheated the gal
lows OF Allegheny county public interest
turns to the next man under its shadow,
Patrick Fitzpatrick. Unless there is execu-
tive interference Fitzpatrick will be hanged
March !, three weeks from tomorrow. His
colG-blooded murder of Robert Early at a
saloon on Eleventh street is still fresh in
mind At his trial no evidence was pro-
duced that would influence a jury in his be-
half, aud his conviction was followed bv the
death sentence. There was some talk of a
petition to the Pardon Board, which meets
IN few days, but no one could be found
yesterday who knew anything about it, and
1t is considered more than probable the exc
cution Will take place
Fitzpatrick does not seem to give his
impending fate any consideration and
treats it as matter of course He eats
well, sleeps well and enjoys perfect health.
His manner is cheerful and pleasant, and he
frequently jokes with the prison keepers.
This jocular manner Of his has caused a sus-
plcion that it is put on to throw the aiiers
of their guard, and they are watching him
closely for fear lie may suicide Rev. Father
Griffin visits him every day and meets with
a cordial reception, the prisoner convers-
ing freely with him as with all others.
The arrangements for the execution will
be in the hands of Sheriff McCleary, but he
has not, as far as could be learned, taken
any steps in the matter
Besides Fitzpatrick there are four other
prisoners in the Jail under the sentence of
death. Gerade, who murdered his little
daughter by dashing out her brains against
a bedpost, and Rusnok, Todt and Sabol, the
Hungarians convicted of the murder of
Patrick Riley at Brsddock. The date of
execution has not been set for either of
these tour.

HAS FAITH IN GRAHAM.
Congressman Stone Still Thinks the Ex
Recorder Will BE the Collector.

Congressman Stone Still Thinks the Ex-
Recorder Will Be the Collector.
Congressman W. A. Stone, who spent
Sunday in Allegheny, returned to Wash
ington last evening. When he departed it
was not known that Blaine had declined.
The Colonel talked about the popularity of
the Secretary of State, but couldn't say
whether he would be candidate or not.
The Congressman had nothing to say about
the snarl in the Allegheny postofice, but he
thinks that Graham will be appointed Col
about it from the start. He hadn't seen the
President or Secretary Foster lately, and he
couldn't say when the appointment would
be made.
sit is not true" he continued, "that
Speaker Crisp is failure and i. not an or
ganizer, as some of the newspaper corre-
spondents charge. Crisp is a very conserva-
tive man, and he has the respect and conf
dence of every man in the House. He GER
tainly acted very fairly toward Mr. Mills.
He could no more have made him chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee than to
have appointed Tom Reed. He made his
fight on liberal view of the tariff, and it
was Mills ideas on this subject that were
turned down, and not the big Texan"
The Colonel is a member of the Commit
tee on Rivers and Harbors. He says the
Pittsburg people made very plain state
ment before the committee of what they
wanted this year. He said they would GER
tainly receive their share of the appropria-
tions He remarked that no sum of money
had been specified, but the amount would
not be S3,0O0,0OO. The committee is not
governed by politics and it is one of the few
business organizations in Congress. Mr..
Stone was surprised that Andy Stewart was
bowled out. He thought he had been fairly
elected, but the contest was made on legal
technicalities. The Colonel didn't know
how other Republicans felt about it.

PHELPS MEANT WHAT HE SAID,

The Negotiations for His Twenty-Secopd
Ward Property Closed.
The sale of the Thomas Phelps property
in the Twenty-second ward has been closed
at the price he named in his appeal to the
Board of Assessors, $50, 900 for 33 acres and
the buildings thereon, located on Forward
avenue. Mr.. Phelps had placed the prop
erty in the hands of his agent, Ira Burch-
field, on the day he filed his appeal, and it
was the latter who arranged the sale with
William Howley, the railroad contractor.
1t was enormously reported that Mr..
Phelps had declined to close the deal when
his offer was first accepted. Mr.. Howley
rendered $500 to bind the sale, and it was
accepted by Mr.. Burchfeld at once A real
estate man said last night that Howley had
secured a good bargain.

swer General McClelland's manner and
words indicated that he had not forgotten
his early training as soldier. During his
entire sickness he was a patient sufferer,
never once complaining.
The National Guard of Pittsburg will par

arrangements have yet been made. General
McClelland never married and has but few
relatives. He is a member of the Third
Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg, in which
denomination his father was clergyman.
Four years ago, while in the West, accom-
panied by Benjamin Thaw, he was deprived
ofthe use of his right eye by accident. The
two were riding across the plain and Mr.
Thaw got out of the vehicle to shoot some
sort of fowl. Accidently the weapon was
pointed toward General McClelland, and he
received several of the shot in his face. He
was in bed for several weeks by reason of
accident, and finally lost the sight of one

How pleasant the picture! Twenty years
of happy childhood and youth. 80 years of
intellectual progress and achievements with
domestic and social joys, and then 20 years
of slow and almost unconscious decay.
Sadly different is human existence as we see
it. Man in his grandest perfection is full of
frailty. The higher condition nation or
community is educated to the more deceit
and hypocrisy characterize that people.
Ever to a lover of grand nature, the arts
the sciences and the study of man, his Gus
toms and manners scattered broadcast
throughout this terrestrial sphere, with all
the beauties of bright vegetation, of climate,
of mountain and of ocean; while nature
everywhereis supremely grand, poor man
in his most exalted state is q very poor ex-
cuse and altogether vanity. And, therefore,
L can express but little regret in parting
with all that is mortal But truc to nature
