Irwin Ford will spend OH earth.
Between 12 and O'Clock Friday he will
expatiate on the gallows the brutal murder
of little Elsie Kreglo. The moose from
which Ford will dangle has already been
prepared and on Tuesday night or Wednes-
day the death watch will be assigned.
From that time until lie asceDds the scat
fold the eyes of a Jail guard will be con-
stantly oD him, night and day.
Rev. John Roberts, the South Washing
ton colored preacher, visits Ford every
| day, rain or shine, to pray and sing With
him. He also reads passages from the Bible
and exhorts him to repent and be prepared
to meet eternity.
MADE HIS PEACE.
The murderer has professed religion
and believes the atrocious crime he COM
mitted will be forgiven at 1.-The throne of
| grace" as he expresses it, Ford prays long
and fervently, and frequency in the Silly
hours of the night can be seen by the guard
making his rounds kneeling ON the stone
floor of his cell praying.
Ford's wife and infant are frequent
visitors at the jail. The woman is in
poverty and having an infant cannot ac-
cept service place.

she said, ''by taking in little washing
1t is hard that have to suffer hunger for

pleaded with him not to go. Some invisible
agency, she said, told her something would
happen, and all day long she was depressed
and unhappy.
Bailiff James Springman, who is daily
visitor to the Jail, said to an Evening Times
representative today that irwin Ford
would ascend the scaffold next Friday
without flnching. He is fully resigned to
his fate, aud remarked that he wished the
hanging had taken place several weeks ago.
His appetite is not as hearty as it was, but
the murderer still eats enough to sustain
him and keep up his strength.

BOSTON, Oct. 18.-The West India hur-

coast for the past 3s hours with almost
unparalleled severity, completely tying
up shipping, has subsidized, and the worst
has probably been experienced, while for
the first time during the entire blow rain
is falling. The hurricane, while probably
not as severe as others which have come
up from the tropics at this time of the
year. has nevertheless been heavy enough
to kick up one Of the ugliest seas ever seen
along the New England coast or in Massa-
chusetts bay, so that not vessel of any
description has left port since late Satur-
day afternoon. Every point along the
coast from Newport to Eastport reports
practically the same condition.
The highest wind velocity In this city
was 80 miles an hour. This is the highest
since Feb 8, at which time the wind blew
5S miles an hour from the southeast. At

maximum Of so miles, one-sixth of an
inch of rain had fallen.
