NO MORE DELAY.
Gilbert Tells His Lawyer that He Is Ready
to Die.


Angus d. Gilbert has made up his
mind to meet death on the scaffold next
Friday forenoon. He told his counsel
yesterday morning to make no further
attempt for a stay of execution; that he
was ready to die, and wanted Che opera
tion of the state officials ended as soon
as possible, not only for his own sake,
but out of regard for his relatives.
Lawyer W. W. Doherty visited Gilbert
in the forenoon, and asked his permits
sion to make one more appeal for for ex-
ecutive clemency before Gov. Greenhalge
Gilbert replied that he did.not think k
such an appael would be of any avail !;
that he did not care to go through the
worry of waiting for decision. and pre-
ferred that such an attempt should not
be made. He remarked that he expected
to die Friday morning, and was ready for
it. 1t would please him better to have
nothing done to delay the execution.
So no attempt at further delay will be
made by any one connected with the
case, and Gilbert will pay the PENALTY
of his crime between 10. 80 and II O'Clock
Friday morning.

Religious Service of Terrible SoIemnity
The Beautiful Devotion of His Heart
Broken Sister.
Boston, February 19.-The sky was
cloudy and the gray walls of the Suffolk
county Jail were half hidden in squalls
of snow this morning when carriag
was driven up to the great gate. Out
stepped woman. She was the devoted
and loving sister of Angus d. Gilbert.
Later, at 10 O'Clock, there was gathere {
in the parlor of the sheriff, within the
Institution, little party about to par
ticipate in most solemn religious SER
vice. 1t was in no sense public. 1t was
meant to reach the ears and the heart Of
the young man who sat there in his nea1
suit of black under sentence of the law
it was intended to comply with the wish
es Of the one close by to give her the
solace and the courage which comes from
scripture or sacred song.
Present were Angus D. Gilbert, his
sister, three ministers of the gospel OF
repentance and conoiliation, the sheriff
of the county and several officers of the
Jail.
Half an hour was spent in the deyo-
tional exeroises-a brief half hour-dur-
ing which there was a prayer and the
reading Of passages from the Bible by the
assistant rector of Trinity church, Rev.
W. H. Dewart. Hymns were sung. The
music and the words of "Softly Now the
Light of Day" and "Abide With Me, "
were never heard under circumstances
more impressive; Finally another petit
tion went up to God from the lips of Rev.
f. II. Warfeld of Brookton.
Then, after few minutes, Agnus ID.
Gilbert passed out of the parlor of the
sheriff on his way back to his cell.
Slight in figure, young in years, his face
calm as II he was inspired by the relig-
ious thoughts and prayers of the oooa-
sion, he disappeared from sight.
One of the cIergymen, when asked as
to the spiritual conviction of the mind of
the young man, replied simply and with
feeling. II think We all agree that the
service of this morning seemed most fiG>
ting and appropriate for him. consider
ing his recent expressions. The gen.
tleman thought that was suffilent to say
at the present moment
Rev. Mr.. Warfleld Of Brockton has been
perhaps the most intimate with Gilbert
Of all his visitors, who have been allowed
to see him, excepting of course. the low
ing sister, who naturally is the dearest
and nearest of persons who have been adj
mitted to the jail. This Clergyman has
spent much time in the cell, has con-
versed at length on topics. religious and
otherwise, and probably to him, more
even than to the officials of the law, who
have been most kind, the prisoner has
unfolded ths innermost recesses OF his
heart. Mr. Warfleld will be with Gilbert
to influence him for the highest good
and teach him fortitude to the very end.
The service of today WAS not the only
ore TO he held. Next Friday morning

hymn sung.
walls of the Suffolk county jail were
half hidden in squalls of snow at 10
O'Clock this morning when that carriage
arrived at the great gate and a woman
stepped out. When that same carriage
was driven away, afterwards, the sun was
shining in the heavens and the mists had
cleared away.
Was this emblematic of the effect of the
scene which had meanwhile transpired !?
Perhaps the sunshine of Gods love had
dissipatsd the gloom of one heart at least
and the storm of grief had subsided in
one soul, leaving it unruffied and at
peace with the world and the Creator.

were passed, and also to the railroads
and the City of Bangor.
Another incident Of today's proceed
ings was the question of the holding OF
the women's meetings at the same tlmo
and place as the encampment. AS
pointed out in this mornings PRESS
the existetnco of the two relief corps
has not tended to the promotion OF har-
mony, among the wives and sisters OF the
old soldiers. The veterans themselves,
have pretty generally hold aloof from
the little distur banee, but they did not
feel right about it and so at today s ses-
sion resolve was introduced requesting
the Ladies to hold their meetings at a
different place in future years from that
selected by the Grand Army and this
will probably be done.
The convention decided to hold its next
session in Lewiston. Belfast was con-
testant, but could not muster votes
enough to get the convicted prize. A
resolution was passed today recommend
ng that the grade of lieutenant general
be revived for Gen. Miles.
The resolve passed yesterday in rela
tion to the use of flags mt the funerals
of deceased veterans, when the services
were held in Catholic churches, brings
up matter which has received attention
in other departments. The same ques-
tion came up in the Missouri department
and there the bishop, it is said, has given
the desired permission, and the flag is
now carried into Catholic churches in
that diocese. The flag is not a large
one, but is of small size, being used as
q pail on the casket.
