Mr.. James Rowland >of this village,
tates that for tw enty-tire years his wife
has been % sufferer from rheumatism. A
Few nights ago she was in such pain that
she was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.. Row.
land for the doctor, but he had read of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm and instead Of
going for the physician he went to the
store and secured q bottle Of it. His
wife did not approve of Mr.. Rowland's
purchase at*:frst, but nevertheless applied
the Balm thoroughly and in an hours
time was able to go to sleep. Sho now
applies it whenever she feels an ache or
pain and finds that it always gives re-
lief. IIc says that no medicine which she

Sentence COMMITTED.

Willie Loe, colorcd, who has been in
the parish prison since October last, under
sentence of death, awaiting the action of
the Board of Pardons, has had his sell
$cnco committed to Imprisonment for life.
Tie official papers concerning same Were
received by Sheriff Clack Wednesday.
1t would lie supposed that feeling OF
intense relief sad gratitude would have
been felt by the prisoner when the news
was communicated to him. Not so. He
expressed dissatisfaction at hot being set
free, .apparepsly not realizing the%enor-
mitv of the crime for which he incurred
;the death penalty; and that imprisonment
for life was good exchange for capital
punishment.
His petition for pardon was signed by a
large number from this parish and by the
Attorney General and Licut. Governor.
Opinion is much divided upon tho punish
ment Lee receives, many expressing re-
get that this first legal conviction IN
thirty years with capital punishment has
nroycn abortive. Be that as it may, he
has escaped the moose, and it is to be
ho,cd that the close call MADE will be a
warning to others.
| Sheriff Clack conveyed Ice to the pen
itentiary, Friday morning.

manufacturers OF woollens and cloakngs at Nos.
465 and 1853 Broome-st.. have missed large rolls OF
cloth from their establishment but could find no
trace of how the goods were got out Of the place.
Detectives finally put the case. After
watching the firms employees for several weeks the
spies noticed that Thomas Walsh driver. regularly
delivered packages at Struts place when none had
been sent out and he arrested. At Police
Headquarters he broke down and made a confession,
duplicating Surut and clerk of Boessneck, Broe-
sci & Co.. who holds responsible post under the
firm.
Surut was at once arrested. although he pleaded
that he had not known that the goods stolen,
and the detectives went on the trail of the clerk.
Surut was locked up at Police Headquarters. but
when he had been in cell a few hours his lawyer,
Henry J. Goldsmith, arrived with Magistrate Flam-
and bondsMan in a carriage. and he was re-
leased by the Magistrate under 5000 bail.
The police value the stolen goods at several thou

THE SENATORS ENTER.

The Joint session was called for | o'clock and
began almost at the minute set. The members
OF the Senate had. usual met in their own
chamber and walked in procession across
TO the House side. Colonel Bright, the
sergeant AT arms headed the double file.
and Immediately behind him came two pages
carrying the hardwood cherry boxes in
which the duplicate State returns were safely
locked The returns forwarded by mail were In
closed In one box and those brought by messen-
ger were deposited In the other. Three front rows
on the Democratic side OF the House were re-
served for the Senate, but so languid was the
interest apparently. of the "deliberatve branch"
In the Joint function that many of the reserved
places were left vacant. Perhaps fifty sixty
OF the ninety Senator's were in attendance. and
there was breathing room for everybody-an ex-
perience In striking contrast with the Senates
treatment four years ago, when several tardy
statesmen from the other end OF the Capitol had
TO stand In the aisles and the rest were huddled
together In a suffering mass to make standing
room on the floor for hospitabe members and
employees OF the House who had thoughtfully
invited their families and friends to witness 20
noteworthy a Congressional function.
As political spectacle. indeed. to-day's joint
session, though devoid OF special brilliancy or
