Scenes About the Jail During the
Early Part of the Day.

Within the gloomy white walls of
Cook county Jail today all was hustle,
confusion and suppressed excitement
as the time rapidly drew near when
Patrick Eugene Prendergast, the con-
demned murderer of Mayor Carter Har-
rison, would eXpiate his crime, paying
the forfeit with his life. The gallows
had been placed in position in the east
end of the north corridor, and at 10 :35
Jailer Morris and his assistants made
the final
TEST OF THE ROPE,
trap and trigger. Jailer Morris at 10:45
said:
''As near as can judge the march to
the scaffold will begin about 1850. !"
Prendergast rested we'll last night, and
seemed calm and collected when the
iailer left him few minutes before.
He refused until last evening to re-
ceive spiritual consolation, but when
nightfall came on he asked that Father
Muldoon be admitted.
II am in doubt as to how he will act
when he sees the dangling noose." said
Jailer Morris. "and while am half in
clined to think he

CLEvELaND,s COMMISSION.
1t Meets With General Approval
From All Glasses,


: WASHINGTON. July 13. - President
Cleveland's determination to appoint a
commission of inquiry on the strike
meets with general approval. Even
the PopuliSts concede that the presi-
dents purpose was the right thing
for the emergency. Some misunder-
standing has arisen concerning the COM
mission. AS was stuffed at the White
house tonight, it will have no authority
to arbitrate between the parties to the
recent disturbance at Chicago and else
where. 1t can merely investi-
gate the labor troubles and re-
port recommending legislation, etc.
The commission is purely advisory, and
has no executive or mandatory power
whatever, but can only compel the at
tendance of the witnesses. The COM
mission will not, moreover, Investigate

his employees, except i'll so far as
this difference will be involved in

which led to the disturbance of inter-

send even an investigating commission
there for the purpose of merely eXamin-
ing into the relations between Pullman
and his employees.
The United States can only investi-

fectee national rights, such as the
safely and regularity of mails in inter-
state commerce.

the mis- trable wretch.
AS Is the custom. the assassin was
closely guarded by bailitfs during the
night. Prendergast specially requested
Sheriff Gilbert to allow him twenty
minutes in which to make his dying
statement, but PrendergaSt's temper
has been proverbially uncertain. and it
was thought by many that he would at
the last moment forego his determine
tlon. The jury of physicians at 1l:10
filed in, and inspected the scaffold and
appurtenances. Fifty deputy sheritfs
were ranged around the sides of the
corridor, and the rather tedious, though
In reality short wait, began. until the
final march should be taken up.
HIS BREAKFAST.
Between and O'clock Prendergast
partook heartily of a breakfast of ham
and eggs. He showed ravenouS appe-
tite, and about 9 O'Clock sent word to
Jailer Morris that he was again hungry.
The Jailer had his prisoner served with
another hearty meal. This Prendergast
disposed of quickly and seemed to relish
1t heartily. The assassin talked freely
with his spiritual advisers, and at times,
apparently fearing that they would
desert him, at times remarked:
You must stay with me to the end"
AS the hour of his execution came
nearer, Prendergast showed some signs
OF slightly increasing nervousness, but
on the whole he was remarkably calm
and we'll collected. Throughout the
Jail, the officers and other attaches re-
marked about his behavior, for it was
the general opinion that he would
weaken badly a good while before the
hanging.

SIX DAYS OF STRIKE.
Disastrous Results Of the Pacific
Coast Blockade.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-Six DAYS
have interviewed since the general strike
was inaugurated on the Southern Pacific
system. At least seven, and probably
nine human lives have already been
sacrificed in the desperate struggle
that is OIL between the railway company
and the federal govern ment on one side
and the American Railway union on
the other. The commercial loss has
been enormous. A seasons fruit crop,
to the value of hundreds of thousands
of dollars, is perishing in the orchards :.
Tonight there is every indication that
more men are to be slaughtered in this
industrial war: that the fruit growers
are to see more of their crop spoil on
their hands, and embargo on commerce
is to be Indefinitely continued.
1t is now three days since the federal
troops went into the field in Northern
California, but the end is not yet in
sight.
In Sacramento the defiance became so
bold today that the capital city tonight
is under martial law, United States
Marshal Baldwin having declared mar
tial law. He ordered the people to thei +
homes, and bid them remain there until
the Trouble Is over.
The adoption of this extreme measure
was provoked by the outbreak that oc-
Cured in Sacramento late this after
noon.
Tonight only meager details of the
situation are to be had here. The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent was suffered
to pass the military pickets, but
it is conditioned that he shall
send out no Information relative to the
movement of trains. Neither is he per
mitted to give names of trainmen. 1t is
the desire of Col. Graham and the rail-
road officials 10 withhold this inforIna-
ton from the strikers. 1t is known,
however, that no trains are running out
of Sacramento save two that are des-
tined for the East this morning

TO DIE GAME,
and looked calmly out OIL the assembled
crowd below him. The white shroud
was next placed about him, and, barring
little restless motion of the eyes, up,
down and from side to side, he made no
motion. Jailer Morris now placed
the rope about his neck. the white
cap over his head, aud Patrick
Eugene Prendergast, game to the last,
had taken his last look on earth. An
instant later. at 1l:4S. and he shot
downward, the head twisted to one
side, the neck having apparently been
broken. Slowly swaying back and forth.
he hung for a few moments while the
physicians held his wrist. A slight
spasmodic movement of the legs was all
the sign of life apparent within the
loosely hanging white robe. Surrounded
by the jury of physicians, the corpse
swung to and fro, and at 11:57, nine
minutes after the trigger was sprung,
he was pronounced dead, and the mur-
der of Carter II. Harrison was avenged.
The assassin made no audible sound
from the time he left his cell, apparently
being lost in contemplation of his awful
fate. He took his final leave of his
spiritual advisers. gave last hand
shake to his guards, and, with low and
choking voice, babe them
A LAST ADIEU.
He was gently dissuaded by Sheriff Gill
bert from his determination to make
speech. At 1l:5S Jailer Morris un-
loosened the anchored end of the rope.
The shrouded corpse was slowly low
cred and laid in the coffin standing un-
derneath the platform. The face of the
dead man was not badly distorted,
though the mouth was open and the
tongue protruding. The color OF the
features was blush tint, which, with
his unkempt reddish hair struggling
down over the forehead, made sight
long to be remembered. The coffin was
borne into the outer court and thence
across to the inner Jail office, where,
after the legal formalities were gone
through with, the body was subjected
to claim by relatives or friends.
