Vancouver Independent: The following
lines appeared in a recent issue of the Or
egonian: THE voters OF Skamania coun-
~ refused 10 validate the county's out
standing Illegal warrant indebtedness.
Since its appearance in that paper numer-
Gus other journals have given the state
ment a place in their columns, the Ia
coma Ledger being one of the last to still
further spread a false report which is
calculated 70 injure not only Skamania
county and Southwestern Washington. but
the whole state as well. AS matter OF
fact the voters OF Skamania county did
validate the outstanding warrants. They
refused to indorse Reputation in any
form and are entitled TO credit for so do
ing. 1t is manifestly unjust that the lead
ing newspapers Of the Northwest should
even unintentionaliy have assisted in pub
fishing TO the world a report so entirely
without foundation, and they ought now
to correct so far as possible the injustice
done the people of Skamania county in
publishing the above statement.

Especial TO the PRESS)
Augusta, May 2O.-The Governor and
Council met in the council chamber at the
State House at 4 O'Clock this afternoon.
General routine business was transacted,
including the confirmation of the nomina-
tion made by the Governor week ago.
A petition for the pardon of Thomas
Hughes, who is confined in the State prison
at Thomaston. signed by g. S. Staples and
ninety five others, past and present en-
ployes of the Portland street department,
was presented.
Hon. Seth NJ. Carter OF Auburn, appeared
in behalf of the town of Lisbon. who wish
to be reimbursed $707.9S for the care of Eliza
G. Buckley. an insane pauper.
Mayer Frank l.. Noble of Lewiston, ap-
peared for the Council. asking for the par
don of Daniel DriscOll. who is serving
sentence of twenty one mouths in Auburn
all for keeping and maintaining a
nuisance. Mayor Noble contended that the
penalty was too severe in case of this
kind. and that the prisoner had served
long time before sentence was imposed.
Sheriff Hill of Androscoggin county, said
that Driscoll had been model prisoner at
the institu. lion, and, if liberated. would
leave the state and never go into the busi-
ness again. ". Fl. Judkins. county attorney
of Ambrose oggin, appeared in opposition to
the pardon.
Mayor Noble also appeared in behalf of
Thomas Mansfield. who is in Auburn Jail for
assault on his wife with intent to kill. The
casa of Mansfield is 1.-The most remar kable
in Maine criminal matters. His wife had
beer sick for some time, and suffering
great pain, implorad the husband 10 end
her wretchedness by shooting her. He did
as she requested and then attempted TO
end mis- own life. After few weeks the
woman died and Mansfield was convicted
and sent to jail.
Mr.. Noble based his claim on the fact,
that while Mansfield did the act, yet there
was no criminal malice on his part. He
simply did as his wife requested. Sheriff
Hill said that Mansfield had been an ex-
emplary prisoner, and that release from
bondage would build up his constitution
AID end his woIriment
These pardon cases were laid upon the
table and will be considered tomorrow. The
Governor and Council went to Gardiner TO
attend the carnival in body, tonight.

TWO RECORDS BROKEN.
Thornton Academy Held Its Field Day
Yesterday.
A New Mark on the Standing High Jump
and Putting the Shot.
Especial to the PRESS.

NDPOSAoA W. uDO L IolLoJsj
Saco, May 2O.-The Thornton Academy
boys took their turn at the track and
field this afternoon in preparation for
the inter-scholastic meet in Bangor.
They were favored with better weather
than attended the Portland meet of last
week.
Two state school records were brok-
en-. In the standing high the state rec
ord of Aft. 5 Ia in., lay between Charles
Shannon of Saco, and San born of Au-
gusta. Shannon today succeeded in
making a clean jump of 4 #. in.,
while Frank Hodgdon came within a
quarter of an inch of the state record.
At putting the shot Arthur Fairfield.
Thornton's Hercules, made record OF
80 TT. in., which outdid the Bangor
mans state record by 10 in.
In the l20-yards hurdle, George preble
duplicated the inter-scholastic time OF
IL rs Sec. but the record does not stand,
as he purposely breasted the last four
hurdles, SO as to rattle his two COM
petitors, which he succeeded fairly well
in doing.
In only the two events which broke
the state school records were the records
of the Portland High School surpassed,
though in several events. last weeks
mset was outdone. In the 220-yards
dash Portland's record of 25 seconds
made by Hand, last year, was duplicat-
ed.
Dyer, Sullivan and several other Port
land High School athletes were in at
tendance.
The winners of today's events will rep
resent the academy at Bangor, June LIST.

CHARLES GARRETT HANGED
Brutal Wife Murderer Paid the Penalty
ofhis Crime.

OF nl0 Urine.
Charles Garrett was hanged Tuesday At
Lebanon, Pa. Ono hundred persons wit
uessed the execution. Death was due to
stimulation.
The crime for which Garrett was hanged
was the murder OF his wife on September l6,
1894. The murder was one OF tho most brutal
and deliberate In the history OF the county.
Garrett was shifslsss, ill-tempered fellow
and had just been released from Jail after
serving three and half years sentence for
assaulting Israel Dwight. He arrived in
Lebanon on the night previous TO tho murder
and called to see his wife at tho home OF a
Mrs. Gallagher, where she had been stopping
since CARROTS incarceration. He
found her with child In her arms,
and after charging her Of being untrue
to him he left the house In rage. He
called again the following morning, but
Mrs. Gallagher tried to prevent him from en-
tering the kitchen. He brushed her aside,
and walking over to where his wife was Sit
ting bent over her and pretented to want to
kiss her. But instead he drew from his coat
u razor, which had been given him by a
iellow-prisoner while in jail, and cut his
wiie's throat from ear to ear, almost sevcring
her head, The woman fell to the floor and
died In less than five minutes. Garrett es-
capped from the house with his clothing COW
cred with blood. Owing. to the brutal na-
ture of the crime the town council offered q
reward OF $500 for his capture. Nothing was
seen or heard of the murderer until October
II. when no was arrested at Marion, Ind. and
taken to the Columbus, O., Jail. The neces-
sary requisltion papers were secured aud
Garrett was brought back to this city on
October ls. At the hearing he admitted the
killing, saying he could not bear to see his
wife with another mans child In her arms.
He was subsequently tried and sentenced to
be hanged.
