Plunger during the night. but his strug-

This forenoon his only demonstrations
were a few yells ana Il series Of war

VIII Have to sufYsr the Penalty OF Death
on the Galiows To- Day.

Governor O'Ferrall yesterday sent to
the Secretary OF the Commonwealth from
Blue Ridge Springs the papers In the case
OF William q. Taylor. OF Pulaski county.
TAYLOR had been convicted before Judge
Isaac Hudson, In the Pulaski County
Court, OF murder in the first degree for
killing his wife. This verdict was subse~
quently confirmed by the Supreme Court
OF Appeals, and the execution was fixed
for August nth. A few days ago the
Governor received petition signed by a
number OF citizens OF Pulaski county, who
asked for a Communication OF Taylors SEN
tence to imprisonment In the penitentiary,
on the ground that the doomed man was
not mentally responsible at the time when
he committed the crime.
The Governor scrutinized the case very
closely, and communicated with Judge
Hudson, who replied that there was no
possible reason which could justify
Communication. The Governor subsequently
telegraphed to Sheriff William l. Carper,

outside Of Europe and british North

Of manufactured tobacco 10 all other

Further interesting facts are Cleaned
from the comparative prices paid by
different countries for our tobacco. Inc
purchases of the United Kingdom aver

of Germany and France are worth less

pays more than 8 cents; the West Indies
10 cents. and Australasia pays 10 cents

Tho Tariff.

The House passed the tariff bill as
amended by the Senate and the Bill
@has boon enrolled and is in the
Presidents hands. He has ten days to
consider it and may approve or veto
and send it back with his objections.
If he fails to return it in ten days it be-
comes law. The democratic party,
while not gratiGcd with it, must be
content to be satisfied. All around it
is conceded as an improvement on the
existing Mckinley law. On many ar
ticles of consumption and prime neces-
sity there is great reduction, notably
woolens. 1t will go q great way to keep
the democratic party in power. Cotton
went up ten points on the announce
ment OF the passage of the bill. The
ending Of the great and prolonged
struggle will itself restore to business
u healthy, normal condition and we
may look to sec a steady Improvement
from this time forward.
