for making an application for writ OF
error to a Supreme Court Justice. NO

HE WILL BREAK DOWN.
Some time ago Altenberger received
letter from his sister entreating nm
to write to his mother in Germany. Yes
terday he complied with the request, and
wrote a long letter. which he gave to
Rev. Mr. Meury to mail for him. Alien
berger cried bitterly while writing the
letter, and cried much during the night
and today. He has completely broken
down, and the jail authorities fear that
by Thursday he will be in horrible
condition to undergo the ordeal of an
execution He has quit playing cards
and other games, and is thoughtful and
silent when not weeping.
The only visitor to his cell is Pastor
Meury and Altenberger seems to be
very fond of him. and he may well be,
for the clergyman has devoted much
care to the murderer.
EXPECTING THE SCAFFOLD.
The scaffold on which Altenberger will
be hanged Thursday will arrive at the
County Jail tonight. and Van Hise, the
hangman, will Immediately erect it in
the same place where Hallinger paid
the penalty of his crime with his life.
1t will take the hangman about six
hours to put his horrible machine to-

the death watch over Altenberger was
doubled, and two men will now watch
him constantly until the execution, which
if it takes place, will be at the earliest
possible moment after ten o'clock in

Mrs. Carrie weber Clark the Cause of
a High Priced Suit by Her Husband

BANGOR, Me-, Sept. 4. 1S94.-MrS Car
rie Weber Clark of Boston, once fam
Gus soprano who has won numerous
triumphs abroad, figures prominently in
a suit which has been commenced by
Wallace w. Clark of Lewiston, her hus-
band, against, against o. P. Decker, a
travelling man, for $15,000 for the alien
alton of his wife's affections.
Mrs. Clark came here last spring and
secured the position of soprano at the
Unitarian Church, at a large salary. She
gave great satisfaction for time, but
ere long, rumors were current regarding
Decker's attentions to her, and finally
there was so much scandal about the
matter that the church committee re-
quested her resignation, and she left
town.
Depuy Sheriff Patten received a war
rant from Lewiston and yesterday placed
Decker under arrest. An attempt was
made to have Decker released on a writ
of hebeas corpus, application being made
to Chief Justice Peters, but the Judge
decided that the plaintiff should be repre-
sented, and the case was continued.
