MURDERER HILL WILL ESCAPE.

the GnlIows on TcchnicaIity.

pittsburg. Dec. S--Philip Hill, the
murderer of George Lawrence at HUI
ton April 27. who was to have been
hanged in the Allegheny county Jail
today escaped the gallows by a very
close margin \ writ of error issued
by George II. Pearson, the prothono-
tary of the supreme court, at the last
minute, postponed the execution until
after the fourth Monday of October,
1898. The supreme court will in the
meantime. examine the records of the
case. The writ issued upon the lower
court i'm which Hill was tried, convict
ed and sentenced to death, according
to Attorney r. II. Petty, counsel for
Sheriff Lowry, had virtually the same
power as that vested i'm the governor
to stay an execution.
The action promises to bring about
one of the greatest legal battles ever
seen in Pennsylvania, and one that
will involve the respective powers Of
the governor and the supreme court,
as to whether the acts of the governor
can be reviewed by that tribunal
The writ OF error was issued under
an act of assembly passed in 1874. At
the last session II repeating act was
passed, but by an oversight 1t only
partially repealed the act Of 1871. At
torney Petty sald I'm capital cases
the right of the condemned to writ of
error is absolute, and the law is in
such shape now that it Is possible for
the attorneys of a man under sentence
of death to take out a writ from the
prothonotary of the supreme court and
stay the execution whenever he sees
fit"
District Attorney Haymaker says the
sheriff made a serious mistake in not
executing Hill. This is said to be the
first time the new law has been taken
advantage of. The case of Hill will
probably be heard by the supreme
court at the opening OF the Philadel-
phia session.

A Queer PremonitiOn.

Psvchical phenomena, or what pass
for such are attracting more attention
than ever here at the present moment,
as Well as the proceedings of the So
ciety which has been formed for the eX-
press purpose of examining and discus
sing them. The case of the Soeur Ma
RE Madeleine, is now occupying the
particular attention of the members,
owing to the fact that she had eX-
pressed her conviction that she would
be burned to death at no distant date.
The communication submitted to the
society at the meeting which has just
been held is certainly curious and in
teresting.
Soeur Marie Madeleine was A years
of age. 1t was in 1877 that Mile. Julie
Garivet. for such was her name, took
the veil. She was in the enjoyment Of
excellent health, was active, of a very
cheerful disposition, and therefore was
entirely free from any tendency to con-
temptation of a melancholy or morbid
character. Yet she had a presentiment
of her approaching end. Two months
ago she told one OF her aunts. who COM
planned of feeling Ill. that she her niece,
would die before her, and a fortnight
before the catastrophe she remarked to
a female patient that she would not be
there when she was again unWell, as
she would have been brought back to
the house a charred corpse. AS she
was leaving on Monday. May 3rd. the
eve of the fatal dav. for the bazaar,
another nun wished her good luck with
her sale, WhereupOn she exclaimed:
MY poor sister. what would you think
if | were carried back burned TO this
house," 1t was noticed that eyening
that Soeur Marie Madeleine was in very
low spirits. and as she was starting on
the following day. never to return
alive. she asked the chaplain to give
her his blessing. and left with an ag-
OniZed cry.
Due note was taken of this strange
communication, but no explanation Of
the alleged phenomenon was volunteer
ed by the members of the society Of
pSychical Science.-PariS Correspond

Bewitched by Juggler

writing from India regarding the thee
~ that the jugglers perform their
tricks by will power says:
During the course of the Indian mu-

WIIled that they should see those
