Williams, the condemned murderer of

night. VIM. A. Wilson, patrolman
watched with him and said this morning
that Williams's sleep was apparently
undisturbed. Mr.. Wilson and Francis F.
johnson, who relieved him today will
constitute the only watch until the time
expected to break down and require the
attention of a deputy.
Williams still maintains his innocence.
He hHs requested of his spiritual advisor
that his mother not be permitted to see
him. The jail chaplain visited him and

liams's mother had expressed the wish
that Baptist clergyman offer prayer

be in readiness before night. The gal

All preparations for the execution were

will pass his last night on earth in cell

he was committed to the Jail. Tomorrow
morning he will be removed to cell
opening from the gallery, which extends
from the cell door to the scaffold, and as
the scaffold is Of the same height as the
gallery and as the gallery rail has been
removed, the journey from the cell to the
fatal drop will be but short distance
and there will be no steps or stairs.
Williams has manifested no trace of
uneasiness during all the time that the
sounds of the erection and testing of the
gallows have been resembling through the
Jail corridors and it is believed that he
will carry this calm manner to the end.

ALFRED PRISONERS STRIKE.

Alfred, October 6.-There is a revolt
among the prisoners of Alfred jail. Dur
ing the last week they have been taken
from the heal shop where they receive a
slight compensation from the contractor,
and made to dig trenches between the
county Jail and Sage brook. There has
been much grumb bling at this and when
they were called to work Thursday, 10,
evidently by previous agreement, refused
to go. They were at once placed in the
dungeons on a diet of bread and water,
until such time as they should repent.

The opening concert was success. 1t
was pretty sight when the great chorus
rose to sing their opening number in
Hallelujah Chorus" from the Messiah,
during which the audience also stood.
This number was promise of other good
things to come. 1t was in the Men
delssohn selection, departure" sung
without accompaniment, that the work
of the.chorus WAS at its best, the delicate
shading, the purity and volume of tone
being remarkable. Indeed, throughout
above criticism with the exception that
at times the male voices were somewhat
weak. especially when called upon to sing
alone. The courage of the singers seemed
tC leave them and once or twice they
came near being drowned by the
orchestra. This was especially noticeable
in the difficult passages in the Tannhauser
Pilgrims Chorus" but the singers
rallied and rendered the closing notes
with fine effect.
Gadski, gowned in white and figured
pink silk, was stately and gracious
in appearance and with her mag
nificent voice she easily found way
to the hearts of her hearers; she was re.
called again and again and after the
second number responded to the demand
for an encore.
Miss Green shared with Gadski the
honors Of the evening. She has rich
and powerful contralto voice and sang
Gounod's aria "Stances de Sapho" with
great expression and dramatic force Like
Madame Gadski she was recalled again
and again. Miss Green's American debut
was certainly great success and the
reputation shs has earned abroad will not
suffer here. OF Messrs. Miles and Williams
it is only necessary to say that they re-
peated their successes Of last year. In Mr..
Milss's selection "Oh Star Of Eve," Miss
Harriet Shaw's playing of the harp added
much to the effectiveness Of the accom-
panimsnt. The quintette from Die
Meistersinger in which Mr.. Waterhouse
took part with the soloists in the evening
was pleasing number.
