1turderers Of Pearl Bryan Hanged at
Newport, Ky.
NEWPORT, KY, March 80 Scott Jack
sen and Alonzo Walling We're hung for
the murder of Pearl Bryan, Jan. 81,
1895. Although the two men were
hung simultaneously from double
trap, that fell on pulling the same
lever, there were no special incidents
at the gallows. The scenes were those
that ordinarily take place on such oc-
casions. Both men were cool and
nervy to the last. and they died pro-
testing their innocence, and declaring
that their confessions were false and
made for effect on the governor. The
morning hours preceding the execution.
were, however, full of exciting scenes.
The plan to gain time for Jackson and
possibly a respite for Walling, was
worked from early morning up until
the men started for the gal.
lows. In the morning Jackson made
another confession in which he said
Walling was not guilty of murder, and
Governor Bradley was telegraphed &C.
cordingly. Many false reports were
soon circulated about respite being
granted Walling, and these reports
caused much excitement among the
large crowds assembled in the vicinity
of the jail. At times there were ap.
prehensions of trouble, but the local
police force and the deputy sheriffs
were assisted by large force of militia
and order was maintained throughout
tho fnrn,,oov VNIo,, +
that Governor Bradley had ordered the
execution of both men to proceed, and
that there would be no interference
whatever, there were continued shouts
Of approval. The scaffold was in the
courtyard where it could be seen by
many thousands Of people from the sur.
rounding buildings, and there was a
great demonstration when the black
flag was hoisted as signal that the ex.
ecutiOn was over,

Joint conventions are not pc
cullar to the Nineteenth judicial
district. The independence Star
and Kansan observes:
Up in Brown county the Populist.
Democratic and silver Republican
committees have united in calling q
joint convention of all the silver
voters, with one delegate for every
ten votes cast for VIM. J. BRYAN. to
nominate a ticket for county officers.
SUCH a plan is well worth the thought
ful consideration of the committees
representing the allied forces In this
county, when they meet here week
from Saturday.
The question Of getting nominees
on the official ballot is also discussed
and it has been generally agreed
that after a convention of this sort
has once spoken and made its
choice, thus securing union of all
elements opposed to the gold stand,
ard party, if necessary, (which is
disputed in some quarters) the name
OF the nominee can be put on by
petition or by the county committee
in the same manner that they would
fill a vacancy. Union offorces is the
great desideratum to be attained
and the joint convention secure:
that end.

ticket and the other for selecting del
egates to the judiciary convention.

convention a typographical error

day Aug. TO-" The nominating con-
vention will be composed of S4l del

County High School.

The terms of the lease made by
the County Commissioners for the
school buildings for the County High
School gives the board of trustees of
the High School the power to de-
clare the school a failure and ter
inmate the lease at the end of any
school year. The trustees being
elected by the people Of the county,
this provision gives opportunity for
the electors of the county TO call the
school off at any time. 1t was this
provision in the lease that induced
Commissioner Murphy to give his
support. Many of his constituents
were warmly in favor Of the High
school, while others were opposed.
He thought that by this plan the
people OF the county could bring the
matter to a test as soon as they
pleased. There seems to be no dis
position, however, to resort to this
remedy, until the school has been
given a fair trial.
The Voice believes, judging
from the experience Of High schools
in other counties, that after it has
been given fair trial in Sumner
county, the people will not desire to
dispense with it. In Dickidson,
Atchison and I.abette counties, they
are eminently successful, and the
people, would not entertain an idea
Of disseminating them. Thomas
county is starting her High school
this year. These are all of the
counties that have yet availed them
selves of the privileges OF the High
school law. Local pickering and
jealouSies between rival communities
have prevented numbers Of them
from being established. This was
the great defect of the general High
school law. 1t was framed by Prof.
Garfield in 'S5, then professor Of po-
litical economy, now Chancellor Of
Ohio State University, and he has
often regretted that fatal defect in
his bill.
The County High School is now
established and ought to become
great success in Sumner county.
With our vast territory and progress
sive population it ought to secure an
enrolment of 800 or more pupils,
and become an honor and pride to
the educational enterprise of our
people. 1t has splendid faculty, a
wise board of trustees, and we
hope every one will unite to make it
great success.
