WILL BUCHANAN DIE?
His Fate Now Lies With the Attoney-General The Wife's Last Desperate Appeal
 for Executive Clemency.

Sing Sing, N Y, June 30.-The case of Dr. Buchanan the condemned wife mur- derer, is still enveloped in a tangled web of legal technicalities, and Warden Sage is unable to obtain the official authority which would make his duty clear The warden tonight sent a telegram to At torney- General Hancock, who is in Syra- cuse, saying that he would take no ac- tion in the ease until he had the opinion of his department to direct him.
 The preparations for the execution of Buchanan are all completed and the per sons invited to attend as witnesses are expected to reach here early tomorrow morning. They will be kept within call until the warden receives positive direc- tions from the attorney-general as to h duty in the premises If he is notified that the papers served by Buchanans attorneys do not constitute q stay of~tiaS. execution the execution will take place with the least possible delay. If other wise, of course il will be delayed until further judicial demonstration Of the case can be obtained. This is the situ- alton tonight and only the attorney general can change it.
 The intense mental excitement which he has undergone in the past few days has made a great change in Dr. Ihlch- anan. He was unable to sleep tonight and today he has been in q condition bordering on frenzy Occasionally he falls into a doze from sheer eXhaustion only to awake with start in a few mo- ments.
 His wife stopped in the prison last night, and visited the condemned nan at o'clock this morning, remaining with him until o'clock tonight She said that he smoked necessarily, talked constantly of his case, and his nervous system ap- peared completely prostrated by the strain he was undergoing. But he still talked hopefully and would not admit the possibility of falling to secure further respite. He is familiar with every detail of the legal proceedings in his behalf, and knows that his fate practically rests in the hands of the attorney-Sen
 In case of an adverse decision tomor- TOW evening it is the intentiGi of the warden to execute the sentence tt ones, and Buchanan will probably know his fate in about an hour CT two before lie must meet it.
 The efforts of Mrs. Buchanan to save her husbands life will not cease as long as the faintest hope remains. Although the governor has several times refused to interfere in the case the devoted woman left for RhinecliT on the last train tonight to make a final appeal for executive clemency tomorrow.

NOTHING BUT PRAISE
Is Being Given the United Press on Its Sp'en-
 did Facility for Gathering News

San Francisco, June 3O.-The Call re- produces the following from the Los An geles Journal: The two great American telegraph news gatherers, the United Press. and the Associated Press are con ducting a warfare against each other similar to that of two newspapers.
 In Los Angeles it happens that all the daily papers are patrons of the Associa- ted Press and accordingly as organs of that company in it's fight against lively competitor very little could heretofore be learned from our local papers, except of a detrimental nature, about the United Press.
 The Evening Record, the lively little sheet that has caused such rattling of dry bones in the Angelic City is at pres ent taking the only telegraphic news fur nished by the United Press in Los An geles hence while the Times, Herald and Express have merely duplicated reports from the Associated Press the Record has an original and entirely exclusive report from the United Press. As the Record is yet small paper this telegraphic report is of corresponding dimensions. But to demonstrate the fact that the Los Ange- les public does not secure all the worlds s news when is it satisfied with a .newspa- per we now have as evidence the fact that the great San Francisco paper, the
  have abandoned the Associated Press and gone over bodily to the United Press
 The following is from the ViSala Times The Call of San Francesca has joined the United Press, and will hereafter get it's news from that agency. There are enough big papers associated with the United Press to make it the most sue cessful news-gathering organization in the country, and we hope the Call will get the cream of all the news from every correspondent of the world
 The Redlands Facts of the 24th says: The change of the San Francisco Call from the Associated Press to the United Press makes it the first really great paper on the coast to take the United Press dispatches, and it's change is im- portant in view of the bitter and almost childlike fight being waged by these two great associations. The acquisition Of the Call, however, will ultimately have a tendency to greatly improve the service of the United Press on the coast.
 The Los Angeles Record of the 2Tth says Of the two great press aSsocia- tions the United Press is growing stronger and the Chicago Associated Press is getting weaker. This is espe- cially true in California. As to the sit uation in the east we quote from a Cin- cnnati paper: Rarely a day passes when the United Press does not eclipse the Chicago Associated Press in report ing current events. It is therefore clear that all who seek the latest news and who wish to be up to date on current events must read a paper that prints the news of the United Press"
 The San Jose Mercury today says: The Mercury is being congratulated from far and wide upon it's enterprise on securing the perfect teleGraphic service of the United Press

Sees No Reason Why Buchanan Should
 Not Die.

Syracuse, N. Y, June S0.-Attornes- General T. lG. Hancocl< was seen at lis residence at 10 o'clock tonight and asked if he had received q message from War den Sage of Sing Sing a $ to the execution of Buchanan. He gave out the following statement:
 Last Thursday Buchanan's counsel made an application, as l am informed, to Judge Lacombe for another writ of habeas corpus. and that Judge Laconbe indorsed upon the petition q refusal to entertain the application. Warden Sage since that time has sent two messages and various other communications to me- asking me whether l would advise the execution of Buchanan. l have ais- swered that I saw nothing which in my opinion operated as stay of proceed ings. I have not advised his execution, as that is not a part of my duty, and 1 do not propose to do so. as it seems t1 me that this is a repetition Of the pre- ceedings which were reported several weeks ago and which have been re- viewed by the court of appeals. This case has been carefully considered twice by that court, and l see no reason Nhy should advise the warden not to carry out it's mandate"
 proceedings operate as a stay cmfwpy
 At 10 o'clock tonight Warden Saga re- ceived this telegram from Attorney General Hancock: "I dc not think the last proceedings operate Sd stay have no further advice to give"

A Brave Engineer.

Chicago, June 3O-Early last night an explosion of natural gas took place un- der the boilers at the Chicago Edison plant, in the rear of the big Newberry library. at Walton place and Clark street The engineer and fireman were badly in jured. one boiler wrecked and those liv- ing north of the river using incandescent lights left in darkness. The miracle Of it all is the escape of the big library building and its valuable collection of books If the explosion had occurred when the big double doors of the boiler were closed at least a part of the li- brary would have been blown to pieces. As it was the heroism of Engineer Jenk- ins in turning off the gas from the main saved further wreckage and perhaps an immense loss of life, for a large crowd was attracted to the scene by the first explosion. His bravery in crawling 20 feet through inches of scalding water along a dark subway filled with blind ing, scalding steam alone stayed a second explosion of natural gas that was filling the big boiler room ready for further deadly work. The loss is small.

 Fine Crop Prospects.
 Dadeville. June 30.-(Special Corre- spondence.)-The Ministers and Dea- cons institute of the East Liberty Bap- tist association has been in session here since Friday and will close today. A large number of ministers and deacons from the different churches composing the East Liberty association are present and the institute has been one of interest to all who have attended.
 The crop prospect in this section is very promising, especially the corn crop. The cotton crop is not as promising as usual from the fact that commercial fer tilizers were reduced about one-half; the acreage is also considerably reduced.
 We have been very dry here for two weeks or more, but it is raining now nicely. If everything hits, Tallapoosa farmers will have "hog and hominy' an- other year and will not be disturbed much about free silver or gold, but will Hive at home and eat at the same place"

 What Scientists say
 Prof Arnold of the University of New York: 1T consider that each and every ingredient of oleomargarine but ter or butterine is perfectly pure and wholesome, that the oleonargarine butter differs in no essential manner from the butter made from cream. It is great discovery, 2 blessing for the poor, in every way a perfectly pure, wholesome and palatable article.
 Silver Churn Butterine is prepared especially for fine table use. Every de- tail of it's manufacture is perfect. Re- cent chemical experiments show that in nutritive and digestive properties Silver Churn Butterine is fully equal to the best creamery butter; while in keeping quality Silver Churn Butterine is much superior.

The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-02-23
A VETERAN SEAMAN.
David Crowley, One Of Two Survivors
Of the Steamer Lexington Disaster.
Has Been I'm the Steamboat Business
Since 1882, and Now is Dying.

David Crowley, one of tho two survivors
of the steamer Lexington, that was de-
stroyed by fire on Long Island Sound on
the evening of Jan. 13, 1S40, is seriously
i'll at the home OF his sister in law, Almira
A. Couch, PAT Chestnut street.
A representative of The NEWS called
upon the old gentleman this morning and
found him to be somewhat cheerful, but
did not care to say much Of the days gone
by. The event Of that night made Mr..
Crowley and his companion, Charles b.
Smith, two of the most talked about men
in the world, for the time being, for the
story OF their experiences was given in
nearly every paper in the United State,
and Europe.
Mr.. Crowley was saved by getting upon
a bale of cotton, but was time and again
pushed of, but by desperate efforts man
aged to keep above water. 1t was bitter
cold night, and he and his companion
were clad In such clothing as worn by deck
hands at that time. The experiences OF
Smith were similar, with the exception
that he had block of wood instead OF a
bale Of cotton. Mr.. Crowley began his
life on the sea as q deck boy on the
steamer Providence in 1892, which piled
between this port and New York.
He has been with the present New York
line evor since its formation, and he is
today the Oldest employee connected
with 1t in point of service. He was gen.
orally employed as baggagemaster. About
one year ago the Providence and Stoning
ton Steamboat Company placed him upon
the retired list and allowed him a weekly
pension,
At the Worlds Fair Mr.. Crowley had
charge OF the company's exhibit, and he
is without doubt the oldest steam boat
man in the United States, IL not in the
world, and is one OF the best posted. Mr..
Crowley says that he can remember when
the first steamboat that piled in Eastern
waters was built.
His parents came from Ireland and set
tied in this city, and the first meeting
held by Catholics in this city was held at
their home on North Main street,
About four weeks ago Mr.. Crowly was
taken i'll in Boston and he then decided TO
come to this city for, said he. "when / die
want to be I'm good old Providence where
/ spent my boyhood days and where
picked berries on the land where your
grand mansions and stores stand today"
1t is by constant care and the best OF
kind attention that the old gentleman is
kept alive and this with his strong will
power has made the last few weeks OF his
life something of wonder to his friends.
But within few days he has
lost his grit, for hhe says "why should
old David get well. / have only
to go through with 1t agsin?" He will be
so years old Monday, March 4. His CON-
panion on that memorable night, Mr..
Smith, il now living a retired life in the
sout hern part OF Rehoboth. and is ~ years
old. Mr.. Smith called upon MIR. Crowley
the early part Of the week, which was the
first time that the two men had met in
nearly quarter of a century.
