Cleveland haa not expressed himself as
willing to accept the nomination seemed
to be the one thing that prevented an

the gallows. A moment later they
mounted the steps and came into view.
There was . pause after they had
reached the deadly trap, and then
Holmes stepped forward and pronounced
his vsledic,ory. Is took him exactly
TWO minutes TO pronounce what nearly
every man there regarded 90 the last Of
. series of lies. Father Daily IL the
only man who knows whether or not the
man went into eternity with lie on his
lips; for Holmes last night or to-day
made final confession. But thas is
buried In the secrets OF the church.
After shaking hands with his lawyer,
who then left the scaffold, Holmes
turned and babe farewell to Superiu-
tendeAts Perkins and Richardson and
the priests. Then he and the two
olergymen knelt In silent prayer. In
another half minute the: time came;
Holmes hands were manaoled behind
him, the nooae and the black cap were
adjusted. and the intense stiffness wss
broken by sharp crack, that echoed
along the corridors like the crack Of .
pistol. The body shot down and hung
without tremor. As the echoes died
away, the voices Of the priests only
arose, They were chanting the prayers
ANA shSoo Al saO okOnlcn VI u0bt0s no
body WAS allowed to hang until 1O:45
O'Clock, then 1t WAS cut down and placed
in coffin.
At half past twelve o'clock the big
iron doors in the rear of the prison
swung open, and an undertaker's wagon
rolled out. 1t had in it plain black
caaket containing the body. The wagon
drove rapidly to Mount Morish Ceme-
terry, whore the body was placed in .
vault. There will be no autopsy on the
body of Holmes, his last words being q
strict injunction to his attorney to that
effect.
After the body had been cut down IL
was placed in q plain pine box, the bot
tom and sides covered with cement.
This was done so the material will
harden about the corpse and practica lily
fasten 1t to the box, preventing any
attempt to steal the body. On the
breast Of the corpse lies q small silver
cross bearing the words III. W. Mud

Mrs. Carrie Pletzel, widow Of the nan
who Holmes murdered, was told Of the
execution bus was too nervous to be in
terviewed, but expressed relief at the
knowledge Of the news that Holmes was
dead.

FOR CHEAPER COAL.
Colonel Browning Hero Arranging TO Sup

Colonel Browning Here Arranging TO Sup.
| ply Roanoke With His Output.
Col. Jos. 8. Browning, of Pocahontas,
fhe proprietor of the Browning
mines, is In the city perfecting arrange
ments to supply the city of Rosnoke
with his coal. He will open up q coal
yard here for the purpose of handling
his output.
This arrangement will give coal to the
Roanoke people at much lower price
than they have formerly paid. and In
stead of she price being higher. as per
the suggestion Of few people directly
interested, IL can be depended on thai
the opposite condition will prevail.
Mr.. Browning can easily arrange 10
secure g daily output of twenty cars
from his mines, and since his withdrawal
from tho Coal Producers Association he
will be free TO handle the produc OF his
mines himself.
1t Is more than probable that the
Browning coal will not be furnished to
local coal dealers associations any-
where. In this way combinations can
not be made on the prices and the coal
Will be delivered here without passing
through the hands of two or three mid
dlemen.
Mr.. Browning has the facilities and
plenty OF money at the back of the en-
terprise, and should he complete his ar.
engagements the people of this city who
have been grooming under the heavy
weight of monopoly and com binations,
should stand ready to build monument
to perpetuate his memory.
1t Ia understood that the coal from his
mines has been tested and found to be
the best coal for all general purposes of
any that comes from the Fla, Top re-
gions. Mr.. Browning will leave to. day
for Lynchburg to perfect similar ar
rsngements with Lynchburg parties and
will probably return tomorrow after
noon.
