MORGAN DIED BRAVELY.

From the Scaffold He Warned Young
Men Not to Go Astray, as He Had
Done - About 10000 Witnessed the
Execution-His Crime.
RIPLEY, w. Va, Dec. 17.-John Nor
gan has paid the penalty for murder
ing three members of the Green fam
lily. In the procession to the gallows,
which was about half mile from
town, the first vehicle contained Nor
gan, Sheriff Shinn and deputy. Fol-
lowing came Rev. T. Ell. Rymer of the
United Brethren church and Rev. j. j.
White of the Methodist Episcopal
church. who were Morgan's spiritual
advisers during his last hours. Fol-
lowing their carriage came a large
wagon which contained about two
dozen reporters. Surrounding the scat
fold in the vast field were about 10000
men, women and children. Morgan
was very cool. He was the most COM
posed man on the scaffold. During the
last solemn services Morgan stood very
unconcerned viewing the vast crowd
of spectators. During the long prayer
Morgan stood with his head bowed
down and his eyes closed. Just before
the blackcap was pulled over his face
Morgan said:
81 bid you farewell. This is warn
ing to all young men not to go astray
as L have. Ny God, | am sorry"
West, a prominet farmer, whom
Morgan accused of being his accom-
plice, is dying.
Mrs. Edward Green, we'll to- do
widow, aged 10 years, her two daugh-
tiers by her first husband, Alice and
Matilda Pfost, and her son, aged about
20 years, James Green, lived in the
country a short distance from Ripley,
the county seat of jackson county.
Mrs. Greene raised Morgan, who got
married about three years ago and
lived apart from them. He called Nov.
4 and asked Matilda Pfost to cut his
hair. She asked him to stay until
morning, which he did. while the
girls were getting breakfast, Morgan
followed James out to the barn and
killed him. He then returned and
killed Mrs. Greene and Matilda. Alice
escaped and her testimony convicted
him. Alice was wounded. Morgan
was soon captured. To prevent
lynching he was given a speedy trial.
After conviction he escaped from Jail,
but was caught again.

LONDON, Dec. 17.-According to The
st. James Gazette private letters re-
ceived here from Madrid say that Gen
eral Weyler's reception there was most
significant and that the government is
so alarmed by the menacing attitude of
the populace that artillery has been
stationed at concealed points command
ing the main thoroughfares. The gum
uers, however, cannot be relied upon.
The widest rumors are current, say
the letters in question, with reports
that preparations are making for the
flight of the members of the royal
family to France at the iirst sign of a
revolution.
The Madrid correspondent of The
Daily Mail says: The city is decorated
and illumined in joy over the peace
concluded in the Philippines.
MADRID, Dec. l7.-At the cabinet
council Senior Gullon, the minister for

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Mr. WoIcott
(Colo.), chairman of the commission
appointed by President Mckinley to
secure, if possible, the cooperation of
foreign countries in an international
conference upon the silver question,
said in the senate that the commission
had not yet made a report to the presi-
dent. and it was uncertain when re-
port would be made. Negotiations for
a bimetallic conference, he said. are
still pending but Mr.. Wolcott assured
the senate that the commission had no
intention of prolonging its effort be-
You'd the point where reasonable hope
of success should exist. Mr. Wolcott
promised to explain fully the work of
the commission in speech, TO be de-
livered after the holiday recess.
A resolution directing the secretary
of war to send supplies to American
and other sufferers in the KlonGike re-
gion was passed. Mr.. Pritchard IN.

BANKER MORGAN CAUTIOUS.
Investigating Before Going Into the
Proposed Wire Combine.

AnNostiSaSiuk 1OinE INTO the
Proposed Wire Combine.
NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE return of
j. sPierpont Morgan from London has
not brought the steel wire and wire rod
consolidation into immediate effect, as
some of the concerns interested thought
would beSlone. Mr.. Morgan evidently
wants to know something about the
status of the companies to be taken
over into the proposed American Steel
and Wire company, with its $40, 900, 900
capital. The situation at the present
time is that the leading wire manu-
facturers, except the John A. Roebling
company at Lorraine, have given an
option on their properties until April at
an appraised valuation.
1t seems that the manufacturers
themselves are agreed that these valu-
ations are conservative, but Mr.. Nor
gan and his banking associates, who
are to underwrite the consolidation
scheme, are conducting an independent
appraisement, and have also begun an
examination of the books of three years
past.

WELLINGTON SUMNER COUNTY, 1897
ON A HUNT FOR WATER.
The City Council at Last Gets Move on
Itse1f-The Rock Island Bottoms to be
Tapped for Water.

The city council Monday night voted
to expend from $3.50 to $500 in a search
for water. The work OF sinking a
well in the Rock Island bottoms in
search OF the underground lake that
is supposed to exist there, will be be.
gun shortly. The council takes this
action as preliminary toward solving
the mOO:ed question ct a suitable
water supply for Wellington. The
question was brought before the cOun-
Gil that night by Mr.. Graft in an ur-
gent appeal for the city to take steps
toward providing a suitable water
supply and methods for operating it
after the present contract between
the city and the waterwOrkS company
expires. Mayor Brown appointed
COuncilmen A. Graft, Geo. B. Dean
and John SaylOr a committee to tap
the Rock Island bottoms and ascer-
tain the extent OF the water supply
there. 1t is all but certain that an
underground lake of extensive proper
tiOnS exists in that part of the city.
After a sufficient volume of water
for a city of the first class is found,
the council will consider the cues.
tiOn Of operating the supply. The
city doesn't intend to be caught who'll
ly at the mercy of the water company
again, and if at the expiration Of the
present contract between the city and
the water company another suitable
agreement cannot be reached the city
will be prepared to pat in system OF
her own. A legislative act empowers
cities in Kansas to vote bonds neceS.
Sary to furnish water and light. The
gas franchise expires about the time
the present contract with the water
company goes out, and if the city
takes such a notion a combination
water and electric light plant may be
built under that legislative act.
But the first question to be decided
OF course, Is sufficient water supply.
With that end in view a we'll will be
dug shortly in the Rock Island bot.
tLms, and if the supply is found to be
of sufficient quantity to warrant the
council in seeking no further along
that line, the operating question will
be taken up and carefully considered.
II the supply in the bottoms is found
to be insufficient the committee will
continue theil search, possibly turn.
Ing their attention next to the feas-
ability of plan tOget water from the
