SPANS "GENTLE" WAY.
Public Invited to Witness the Stran
Cling of Sequentrors in Havana,

Public Invited to Witness the Stran-
CLING of Sequextrors in Havana.
From the Baltimore Sum-
A copy OF the newspaper La Lucha, pub
lished in Havana, Cuba, September 81
was brought to port by one of the crew of
the Earn Liae steamer Earnford, which
vessel was in Havana on that date.
An advertisement in La Lucha notifies
the public that on the evening Of Septem-
Der q Francisco Barroso y Ruel, convicted
of the crimes of rebellion and incendarism,
will enter the chapel and there make his
peace with God before his execution the
following morning, when he will be shot in
the ditch of Laurel Grove.
THE Strangling'' is the headline Of an
other advertisement calling the public at
tention to the fact that on the following
day, at Z am. Manuel Rodriguez Riyero
AmadOr Perez Garcia and Nito Santa Cruz
will be placed in the chapel of the con-
demned and be stranged the day after. The
execution was advertised to take place in
the ditch Of Laurel Grove. Their crime was
brigandage, or Of being sequestrors.
The garroting or strangling of the seques-
trors was witnessed by one of the crew of
the Earnford. Long before the hour for
the execution Laurel Grove, which is
square surrounded by high wall, and ad-
joining Moro Castle, was crowded with peo-
pie who made fringe of humanity on the
top Of the walls.
The -garrote was in the middle Of the
square upon a platform SO situated that al
the specta tors could see 1t. The first of the
seouestrors was white man, who was ac-
companied by a priest, four attendants and
a guard of soldiers. He was smoking
cigarette with all the nonchalance of a man
going to wedding feast instead of being
the subject of his own funeral.
He took his seat in the fatal chair, but
refused to wear the white cap, with open
inss for the eyes, which was attached as a
cowl to his robe. The eXecutioner deftly ar
ranged the collar around the mans neck
All was ready in moment and the execu-
toner gave a turn of a screw and bore
down on lever. In five minutes physician
made an eXamina ton of the grinning corpse
in the chair and declared life to be extinct.
The body was removed by the four attend
ants and thrown behind the platform upon
which the garrote stood.
The Others who were colored men, were
dispatched in the same way, but we're longer
in dying than their white companion. Their
bodies were thrown on the ground, to be
buried, 1t was said, in pit. where the
cred with qucklime.
The executioner is life prisoner who is
paid SIT in gold for each man garroted,
which he is allowed to spend upon himself
He was dressed in black. with stripes Of
white on the back of his coat, such as
prisoners in the penitentiary wear. Three
months previously he had performed his
first work as an executioner. He bungled
the job SO badly that his predecessor, a
powerful black man, was called in to finish
the job.

SENT A CHALLENGE,
Frederick n. Day Lectured for the
OGenae by Judge Miller


A rather interesting case involving the
code of honor, came to light this afternoon
in Judge MillerS court, when Frederick r.
Day appeared to answer a charge of maxi
ing threats, preferred by William H.
Reuter-. The alleged threats were en-
braced in challenge to fight a duel, for
warded to Reuter- by Day. Both men are
well-known printers, and are members Of
Columbia Typographical Union, No. 1O1.
According to the story, the men had a
personal difficulty, which eliminated in the
following communications:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., October 16, 1885,
6O5 9th Street Northwest
Sir: By your pigheadedness, or, rather
lack of reasoning powers, you insulted me
in cowardly manner this morning. 1t is
quite true l did blame YOU for the loss of
that article, but when L understood the
affair, exempted you from all blame and
il the other party tells the truth when he
says he has lost the ticket, l must also
excuse him. However, 1 am of the opinion
that there is crooked business somewhere
and am not used to dealing with that
class of people; in fact, L despise and abhor
such people
Now 10 business. AS you are well aware
l am physically unable to cope with YOU
hence your loud-mouthed brawling this
morning. 1t is towards. fools and ours
who resort to that mode of settling dis
putes. l resent with all the manhood Of
gentleman lie epitnetS you hurled at me
this morning, and throw back to YOU the
epithet cur with all the necessary ad-
jeotives. knowing myself as 1 do. 1 am
prepared to defend my honor at any time
with my life. if necessary, but L must meet
you on equal grounds.
Now. sir, l not only ask, but demand, an
unconditional apology, or I shall brand you
as an unmitigated liar and coward
You must accede to my terms now. ANY
time that you are ready, 1 am prepared to
step OF six PAGES with gentlemen's
weapons. When shall 1t be, if you are SO
certain that am all YOU characterized me
this morning before your friends?

After hearing the testimony, Judge Miller
lectured Day and added that if the offense
should be repeated the extreme penalty
would be administered. The case was then
dismissed

FeutOntc Calm on a State Occasion.
From the Kansas City Times.
Gov. Thomas L. Crittenden. who sue
ceeded Phelps in the executive chair, was
inaugurated in January, 1881, with more
ceremony and frills than any other gov
ernor since the war. There were military
and bands galore, and special trainloads
of people came from Kansas City and St
Louis to witness the pageant. The military
features were in charge of Capt Hawley
of st. Louis, who was grand marshal CT
the day. Brockmeyer. who, as lieutenant
governor, was presiding over the senate,
was lolling back in his chair on the presi-
dents stand, smoking q cob pipe and await
ing notice of the time for the senate to
proceed to the hall of the house of repre-
session were to receive the new governor,
and the Inauguration would be consum-
mated. The senate lobby was crowded
and the senators were in their seats, on tie
tiptoe of expectancy, for martial strains
could be heard on the outside. At this
juncture a figure in a glitterins and bril-
liant uniform pushed through the crowd
and marched half way up the aisle. 1t was
Marshal of the Day Hawley. Drawing his
sword he made a military salute, ard
pompously announced:
MIR. President the governor or Missouri
and his staff now approaches"
Without removing his pipe from his
mouth, Brockmeyer replied:
"Vell, let him COON; dot is what We are
here for"
When the laugh had subsided the senate
proceeded to the house and the Inaugural
ton was completed.

BIG MEN OF THE CHURCH
Annual Meeting Of the Roman Catholic
Archbishops Thursday.
No Important Questions to Settle-The
Education of Indian Children
Will Ne Considered.

The regular annual meeting of the Roman
Catholic archbishops Of the United States
Will be held upon the original date set for
the gathering. Thursday. only 1t will take
place at the Catholic University instead of
at New Orleans. 1t is said that no import
ant q, estions are to be considered other
than that relating to the education of In
dian children.
The determination OF Congress to end ;he
contract system Of educating the Indian
children leaves the church with a large
amount of school property and with no
means for carrying on the schools. Some
action will be taken to meet this pros
pective changed condition of affairs.
The impression that the meeting of arch
bishops would result in the nomination of
bishops for the vacant sees at Buffalo, st.
Cloud and Wilmington is erroneous The
nominations for Buffaio and Wilmington
nave been sent to Rome already. and are
awaiting confirmation. while that for st.
Cioud Is to be determined by the bishops
OF the st. Paul province. and not by the
archbishopS.

McGoldrick of Duluth. At noon the dele

chahse OF greetings. The delegate takes

II is stated positively that no word has

regular life, abs stinence from alcohol and q

does the Nation more harm than dozen
''fstic tournaments" The eagerness Of the
statesmen to stop this particular evil suggests
that they desire to
Compound for sins they are inclined to
BY damning those they have no mind to.
A well-regulated prizefght has one merit
which might well be impressed upon. Con-
gress-the principals have to do some thing or
sci up dummy between them to pound In
stead OF pounding each other. 1t would be an
exceedingly good Thing If somebody could
"hold the watch" on this dO-nothing Congress
and call time.
In spite of the apparent decadence OF
pug1llsm in this country, there are strong
indications that it is not to become lost
art and sport SO readily as its opponents
desire. In the Massachusetts Legislature
there was recently introduced measure
known as the anti-sport bill, which was
designed to put stop not only to boxing,
but to all rough sports. The effect has
been to arouse strong opposition. At
hearing given by legislative committee
recently the weight of the testimony was
greatly against the bill, and this was fol-
lowed by large protest, signed by some
of Boston's most influential citizens,
against the passage of the measure. The
position taken by the m is that as between
really scientific boxing and downright
brutal pugilism there is broad distinction.
On the other hand, advocates of the bill
contend that SO long as boxing is permitted
it is next to impossible to prevent prize
fights. The remarkable feature of the con-
troversy is the unexpected strength which
the friends of the ''manly art" have de-
veloped IN city where the strict prin-
ciples of the Puritans are supposed still to
prevail

THE ATHLETES.
Men In Training for Championship
Games-The Seattle Club.

Games-The Seattle Club.
A number OF Olympic Club athletes
who are infatuated with outdoor sport
will visit the outdoor grounds tomorrow.
The running paths are being placed in
first-class condition for the sprinters, and
Caretaker Mcintyre expects to see the
pretty park crowded with athletes during
the spring days, training for games that
will be held in the near future.
Latest intelligence from the Stanford
University is to the effect that strong
team of athletes will be in the field this
year to compete against the clubs of the
Pacific Athletic Association in champion
ship contests. The Berkeley University
will not be found sleeping, as its athletes
propose to commence training Just as soon
as the cinder path will be ready to prac-
tice on.
The Reliance Club will also have some
good men who will compete under its col
ors. The president of the Seattle Athletic
Club, who has been on visit TO this City,
stated to DR.. Short. the leader of the Olym-
pic Club, that in all probability a team of
athletes and boxers from the Northwest
Will journey to this City and contest In the
boxing tournament and also the games
held in May at the clubs grounds.
1t is quite probable that some of the
athletes from the Fresno and Los Angeles
clubs will be among those who will con-
test at the annual championship meeting.

the secretary of st. Mary's College Ath-
letic Club of Oakland is self-explanatory:
