GORDY BECOMING HAGGARD.

Spends Most of His Time in Silence, and is
Watched Constantly : Regrets That He
Will Not BE Executed Sooner.
Special CORRESPONDENCE NJ Gazotte and Journal
Georgetown, April 27.-Samuel j.
Wilson of Milton, the undertaken who
took out letters of administration on
The estate of Mrs. Essella Mary Gordy,
for whose murdor James M. Gordy was
convicted and is now awaiting the
death penalty, sold the personal prop
erty Of the dead woman in Milton last
Saturday. The property consisted prin-
cipally of household furniture, and was
taken by Mr.. Wilson. as administrator,
from the freight office in this town.
after it had been identified as the
property Of Mrs. Gordy by her sister,
Madam Grupert, or Mrs. Goeltz, of New
York. The furniture Was not of much
intrinsic value. showing considerable
wear, but the bidding was quite spirited
at times AS proof that interest in
the famous case is not yet dead the
largest crowd was present at tho sale
that has been in Milton since the body
OF the murdered woman was exhibited
there. Many were attracted from
curiosity to see tho goods which hau
heen reported to be valuable, while
many others went with the determine
tion to take away something connected
with the affair. Mrs. Goeltz had ex.
pressed desire for some OF the articles,
and they were purchased for her by
Attorney General White. These will be
sent to her, together with the two
trunks and their contents, which are
still at tho express office here. The
trunks contain the wearing apparel of
Mrs. Gordy. a few ornaments, photo
graphH, &c. 1t was thought useless to
offer them for ssle. The sale amounted
to about $3.50, and tho proceeds will be
applied to the expense of keeping the
body pending the inquest and tho
burial charges. The sale did not result
in an amount sufficient to cover the
charges, which were s295.
The daily life of the condemned man
does not vary much. Occasionally he
car be heard to sing, but be does not
sing as much as he did the first few
days after his conviction. He talks
little to his guards, but spends most OF
the time in moody silence, apparently
in deep thought. He ia daily growing
more haggard. He recently expressed
regret that an earlier date had not
been fixed for his execution. Sheriff
johnson still keeps guard ON duty at
his cell night and day. He Goes not
propose that the gallows. shall be
cheated OF ats victim through any
neglect OF his.

DIR. Schmucker gave his second lecture
on nature study Monday afternoon to
the Primary Teachers Association at
the Wollaston School. The particular
subject was the flowers Of plants, their
origin, parts and fertilization.
The root, stem and leaves are the
necessary parts of plants, From these
other parts. are formed. The sepals,
petals, stamens ana pistils are all modi-
fed leaves. Sepals are generally green.
This is the color flowers use for pro-
lection. The petals are bright colors
for attracting, not mankind as many
believe, but the bees and insects who
will help the flower to become ferti-
lizedS Tho stamens are for pollen bear
ing. the pistil for ovule bearing.
When pollen falls upon the pistil OF
the same flower it is called close fertili-
zation; when it is carried to the pistil
of another flower of the same kind it is
called cross fertilization. Darwin
showed that seeds from cross fertiized
flowers were stronger generally than
those seeds from close fertilized ones.
In three generations seeds of the latter
class seldom grow.
When the pollen becomes ripe the
bees. attracted by the beauty of tho
flower, come 10 1t for honey. Very
often it has certain marks to show the
insect where to sit. While the bee is
slipping the honey the pollen is dropping
upon his back. He then goes to
flower of the same kind for honey, the
pollen dust on his back strikes the pis.
til OF this flower and the first step in
seed forming has been completed.
DR.. Schmucker paid his respects to
florists who secure malformation of
plants rather than being content with
their natural beauty. He will lecture
again on May 10th.

A Boom Foreshadowed.

In a letter received yesterday by Mike
King, the well known mining expert,
from Dave Cole, a mining and mill man
who stand ut the head Of his intricate
profession, the writer states that the
demand for mining machinery is very
brisk at Chicago and in cities further
east, and that 1T looks now as though
business in our line would quickly and
permanently recover its old time pros
perity." Mr.. Cole writes from Chicago,
where he is now selecting the needful
m%achiner.' for the rebuilding of a
Tremain mill in the vicinity of Custer
Peak, and will start for the Hills on that
business in a few days. He says they
are all talking Black Hills in Chicago,
and that the biggest boom the west ever
enjoyed has already set in in this direc-
ton. Mr.. Cole recently bnilt a mill at
Tuscon, Arizona, which is giving the
most satisfactory results. From the
tenor of his letter We Judge that he ex.
poets to do considerable mill building
in the Black Hills this season, and that
there will be no lack of capital for this
worf. There would be employment for
100000 laborers in this mineral terri
tory If there were mills in operation
that could handle all the low grade ore
that is in sight on every hand. And
the mills will come this season -Tpda.

In this city on Thursday afternoon,
the 18th inst. Grace r., the beloved
wife of Paul ID. McClelland, aged q
years, 8 months and "a days.
The death of Mrs. McClelland brings
u~nspeakable grief npon a devoted hus.
baud and an alIectionate mother, and
deep sorrow and sadness to this entire
community, where she was held in the
highest estimation by all Of her "a
quaintances for her aniable disposition
and admirable womanly qualities. Her
demise was rendered all the more
shocking by its sudden character, her
illness covering a period Of only thirty
six bours.
Her death was due to the causes
arising from complications incident TO
childbirth. which the most assiduous
and unremltting efforts Of her physi-
clans were powerless to relieve, the
silent messenger coming at the final
moment and claiming the mother and
babe for its own.
The deceased was well known as q
teacher in the southern Hills, having
taught school in Rapid and in other
places, in all Of which she enjoyed the
respect and esteem Of all with whom
she came in contact
Funeral services were held at the
Congregational church yesterday after
noon, Rev. J. w. Kendall officiating,
after which the remains were followed
to the cemetery by a large number Of
friends, where they were consigned to
quiet and peaceful rest.

They Don't Apree.

ID. w. McFadden and associates ofthis
place, are the owners Of a group Of gold
claims on the lime belt, near Pringle,
and being desirious of determining the
value Of the ores they selected six sepa-
rate samples including all of the various
characters Of ore, and sent them to three
different assayers Of repnte expecting
the reports to correspond, but, much to
their surprise. the reports were greatly
at variance, being from "a trace" to
$l4 so per ton. Two Of the tests were
made in Colorado Springs, and one in
Omaha, the latter giving onlv a trace.
One Of the tests made at Colorado
Springs gave a return of $500 per ton,
and four tests made by another assayer
of that place ranged from 1925 to Sl4. so
per ton, being tests of four different
characters of ore. MIR. McFadden is at
a loss to understand why there should
be such a discrepancy, but is inclined to
the opinion that it can only be account
ed for upon the grounds of a lack Of
knowledge on the part Of the assayers
Of the proper method of treating this
class of ores.
