PRISON RULE ENFORCED.
No One Allowed to See Brennan, the Con
victed Murderer.
From Evening Tribune.

From Evening Tribune
Thomas Brennan, convicted of the mur-
der of Henry Elliott, spent his first Sunday
in prison in a very quiet way. In fact
Warden Levan says he is unusually docile,
and has nothing to say when his meals are
handed in through the opening in the iron
door No one so well as the prisoner him
self can realize the awful position be is in
His crime deprived Mrs Elliott of faithful
husband, and her eight children of fond
and affectionate father He has also brought
sorrow and sadness into the house of an aged
mother, and his brothers and sisters, to say
nothing of his own life, which, unless some
thing Unforeseen happens, will end in death
on the scattold.
The murderer occupies cell No. 81 on the
second tier, located well to the front of the
prison. The iren door, and what is known
as the blind door, are kept locked. He is in
solitary confinement, and has no other COM
pany than his own conscience. This cell was
| formerly occupied by Theodore Eisenhower,
now serving life sentence in the Eastern
Penitentary for the murder Of John
Schwindt, at Shenandoah. 1t was also occu.
pied by some of the Mollie Maguires many
years ago, and is generally known as
"Murderers Cell' on account Of its location
No one is allowed to see Brennan unless by
permission of his counsel This rule ha.
been, and will be, rigidly observed by the
prison authorities.
When the Sheriff went over to bring the
prisoner into court after the jury reached &
verdict on Saturday Brennan remarked
That was quick work. 1t did not take then
long to decide This is the only remark h'
has made to the authorities since Saturday
It WAS expected he would saw something [,

Pathetic Plea of the Bibulous Head
of the House Next
Morning,

One of the Bohemian citizens of the town
went home the other night after having
donned pair of skates that would have slid
him over an Arizona desert with the mer-
curry bubbling out of the top of the thermom-
eter. He had no recollection of how he got
home, and even the next morning he was
not certain whether he was on a storm
tossed Atlantic liner or making leap from
a balloon minus a parachute. He went
down to the breakfast table with enough wet
towels wrapped around his head to make
a turban for the mahdi. His wife met him
with reproaches in her eyes, but she did not
scold him. She wanted to inform him of his
conduct the night before, however

you came very near killing US all when you

baby's cradle. Then you blew out the gas
and we were nearly asphyxiated. What do
you think of that?"

BRY ANS TOUR IN KENTUCKY.
Col. Bryan VIII Deliver Two Adj
dresses Daily. for Twenty
Days. in Kentucky.

Lexington. KY, Sept. Former
Senator Blackburn, chairman of the
Democratic state campaign commit
tee, has received a long letter from w.
j. Bryan, in which he says that he will
be here on October !, and will open
the campaign at Lexington the fol-
lowing day.
He wants to remain IN Kentucky 20
week days. He wants to make two
speeches each day, and deliver them in
as many county seats.
Blackburn, although 4 sick man and
unfit for work, went to Louisville Sun
bers of the campaign committee in re-
gard TO the dates and places.
1t Will puzzle the committee to car
~ out Mr.. Bryan's plans, as some of
the counties are so large that it will
be difficult to reach two county seats
in ore day in time to make speeches.
Mr.. Bryan has taken much interest
in the Kentucky campaign, and his
letter indicates that he is familiar
with the local features. He seems
afraid that Goebel will compromise
himself with the sound money demo-
Gratis, and he warns him to leave the
Louisville local ticket, supported by
Watterson, severely alone.
Mr.. Bryan requests that a special
train Be provided and equipped so that
he can live on board during his tsay
in the state.
There are over 5000 miles of railroad
in the state, and he can reach nearly
forty county seats by rail. His COM
ing to Lexington will be made a great
occasion, and $4,000 persons are eN-
pccted to be present when he opens
the battle. Mr.. Bryan is 4 fighter, as
all well know. and his trip through
