Washington, Aug. G--WAcn the DEM
ocratlc tariff COnfcrveS adjourned Sat
urudy alter an alI-uay S,s.lou 1t looked
as though they were nearer TO an
agreement Than at any time thus lar.
An agreement on sugar WAS mol
reached beyond the possibility Of re
call nor had agreements been reached
ON iron ore or coal. The conference
closed, however, much better than it
opened. The fact WAS brought out
mat the new sugar schedules submit
ted as an ultimatum by the conSerVa-
i've senators would be accepted by the
house contcrCeS and there is little else
than formal and final announcement
OF this acceptance to make IN agree
ment on the sugar schedule complete.
Indeed one of the conferCeS spoke OF
the results OF the days work us equity
alent to an agreement on sugar, but
said it was not such Il binding agree
mcnt as 10 cut Off the possibility of
diSagrecing 10 it on Monday. AS to
when the quasi agreement Will become
absolute liuality the confcrees had no
definite idea when they separated last
night. AS Secretary Carlisle was with
the cQnGerecs part Of the day, it is
concluded that the schedule is also sat
isfactory to the administration.
The Louisiana senators, Messrs. CAT
ferry and Blanchard, can not be depend
ed upon to support the new sugar
schedule. Their opposition is based
ON the ground that it failed to take
into consideration tie requirements of
Louisiana sugar planters for Il bounty
on the present crop at least This
fact caused some uneasineSS at the out
set, but it Was not regarded at the
close of the conference as i serious
menace to the success of the confereeS'
efforts After the GOnfCreeS reached a
virtual agreement on the sugar sched-
ule they took up the question of iron
ore and coal, but adjourned without
to these products.
Il. 5. Sharretts, of the board of gen

pert advisers to the senate finance COM
mittee since the bill has been pending,
yesterday, in response to Il request,
furnished the associated press with
statements as to the difference in the
protection to refined sugar furnished
by the sugar schedule now almost
agreed on by the tariff conferees from
the protection furnished by the senate
schedule. They united in saying: TAX
ing the value of the raw cane neceS-
Sary to make 100 pounds of refined
sugar as $3.1I, the duty of 10 per cent
amounts to $1,2GS. Refined sugar cost
ing 1887 per 100 pounds at 40 per cent
pays duty of $1.34S and consequent
ly leaves the American retiner cents
per 100 pounds for the protection as
Il result of a straight ad yalorem rate
on raw and refined sugars. Adding to
this Is cent per pound gives total
of 20 1-2 cents per one hundred pounds,
protection under senate bill, against
the 1-0 cent per pound or 20 cents per
hundred pounds as row proposed.

The Chickens Usually Do It-Echo Of

Brazil, Ind, Aug. 6.-Ihis city is
greatly stirred up over the announce
ment made today by the G. and 4. l.
officials that they had decided to move
their shops and the trainmaster's of
fee to Momence at once. Superintend-
ent Broughton is in the city and in
an interview said that this city did
not furnish their employees protection
and that they were assaulted by the

if Ringo, of this county, who wore
a white ribbon during the strike and
even on his official visits to the round
house. A committee of leading bust
ness men called on Mr.. Broughton this
afternoon and insisted upon his com
pany allowing the shops to remain
here Finally Mr.. Broughton said that
if the company could be assured that
the men now at work would be sup
piled with boarding places, protected,
and given all the rights of citizens
he would use his influence to have the

AN OLD-TIME HANGING.
ii"!l Il Century Ago an Execution Was
Il PuDllc rlcuIC.

Executions in The United States half
Il century ago were not restricted, as
they are now, to the prison yard, III
the presence OF Il limited number OF
witnesses, but We're celebrated con-
spicuously on an open neld, before 4
large and often roliickins and tumu!t-
uous crowd OF Spectators, says Har-
per's Magazine.
Such Il body | 'emember to have
seen gathered on such an amphI-
thcater more than 60 years ago TO
witness the hanging of Il murderer.
The man was farm hand, and well
known, When under the influence OF
strong drink he was Sullen, truculent
and dangerous; but when sober, he
was 50 proverbially quiet and inof-
tenslye that he was the easy going
butt of his associates. While at work
one day in harvest time, moving a
meadow near town, he drank freely
and became tipSy; Whereupon one of
his comrades INDUCED in long contin-
ued and rough horse-play at his eX
penSe, till in an excess Of passion
iutlamed by rum he turned upon his
tormentor and slew him on the spot.
Or course he was Immediately ar
rested, and never shall | forget the
wave Of horror that swept over the
little town when the news of the
murder was bruited and the victim
was carried to the house of his par
ents on barn door. During the trial
Of the homicide the court house was
crowded to overlooking with people
who Hooked in from the country for
miles around to listen to the gruc-
gaze upon the murderer us he was
escorted to and fro by the constables
between the jail and the court house.
For several days Immediately pre-
ceding the hanging chat was before
the days of railroads, it should be
recalled multitudes from the country
for 20 and more miles around hocked
into town to see the execution, and
some Of them ito turn an honest
penny"
On the fatal Friday the Big Field"
surrounding the galloWs was fringed
with booths and tents for the sale of
cakes, pies, small beer and other re-
freshments, interspersed at frequent
intervals with farmers wagons with
watermelons, muskmelons, apples,
peaches and other fruit, the enter
prising vendors of which drove a brisk
trade under the very shadow of the
fatal tree. 1t was estimated that on
that tragic summer day over twenty
five thousand people, Il large proper
ton of whom were women and chill
dren, were clustered around the gal
lows to witness the dying throes of
the wretched man. And, thoughtless
boy though | was, l was shocked by
the horrible Indifference to the dread
event of that poor soul which was
manifested, and by the still more hor-
rible testing, profanity and drunken
combats that were INDUCED in. 1t
was IA saturnalia of brutishness and
indifference never to be forgotten.
