admitted to witness the executions.
On the second floor will be located the
trigger. which will be worked by cleo
tricity, to send the condemned men in
to eternity. The larger portion OF the
second floor is to be used as a hospital.
There will be four wards and all pris-

kept apart from each other The whites
will also be kept in different wards
from the blacks. Closets and laundry
rooms have all been provided for.
There is also to be a large room for the

with reading matter. A large portico
is next to this and the prisoners viii
be allowed to sit on it, The appropria-
ton for both the execution and hospital
building combined is $4,000, but Warden
Hawk stated that the cost of it includ-
ing the furnishings would be less than
that. The brick are convict made and
much of the labor was done by the
prisoners. The engine and dynamo 10
furnish the electric lighting are expect
ed this week. When the plant s in
operation the place will be liz up by
1.400 lights and twelve extra arc lights.

been done. The list including The prls-
oners received yesterday, is now GAS.

Under The New Law Occurs October
10Th.
MCDOWELL COUNTY SENDS TWO
MEN TO BE EXECUTED AT THE
PENITENTIARY - BOTH ARE
COLORED MURDERERS = THE
NEW EXECUTION BUILDING.

Sheriff Herndon, of Mcdowell county.

vile yesterday afternoon twelve pris-
oners. Out of che list two of them will
be hanged. the date set being October
10th. Both are colored, their names
being Shep Caldwell and Frank Broad
neck. The first named killed his wife
in cold blood. and the latter killed a
small child. The court was not long
in conyicting both men. Caldwell has
served term in the penitentiary for
felony and is bad negro. He has
only been released from the institution
a short time. The condemned men will
be kept in the other cells until the new
execution building has been completed,
which will be in about two weeks
This will be the first hanging at the
prison under the new law, and no
doubt will attract great deal of Ct
tentlon. Yesterday the Register man
paid a visit TO the new building and
found the work progressing very rapid
~. Warden Hawk explained that the
building would be finished inside of
two weeks. The death cells, four in
number, arrived during the week and
yesterday man from the works arriy-
ed to place them in position The cells
by the way, are the latest improved
and were a prisoner to saw the locks
or hinges off he could not get out The
building has quite large number of
rooms in it. On the first floor the first
two front rooms are to be used as the
physician's Office and place for keeping
his drugs. Just outside of these rooms
there is large hall where the prison.
ers will be compelled to await their
turn to see the physician. The next
room is about twenty-seven feet long
and forty-three feet wide. 1t is to be
used as the prison tailor shop Ad-
joining this is the room in which will
be located the four death cells The
room is 45x45, and the death watch has
plenty of room to get around. Just
outside of Ahis room is a much smaller
one, in which steps will be made lead
ing to the gallows. On the opposite
side, however, is where the trap is To-
Gated, and where the hanging takes
place. The room for spectators is ratn-
er small, and there will be few people

THE PARDON BOARD.
Special Session to be Held at Moundsville
ruesday

LueSNay.
The pardon board convenes in special
session at the Moundsville penitentiary
next Tuesday morning. So far there
are about 100 cases to be considered
and it is presumed that the session will
last fully three days. President P. W.
Morris and Judge Bennett, the two
members of the board, were at Mounds
Vile in July, but it will be remembered
they could take very little action in
the cases. Since that time the proper
notices have been given the prosecuting
attorneys of the various counties and it
is expected that there will be great
many people present at the session
The case of VIM. Eaton, the convicted
fire bug, comes up again, but from the
remarks made by the members of the
board. Eaton will have to have good
grounds If he obtains a pardon. Out of
the 100 applications which are to come
before the board there are about thirty
who apply for remission OF fines i'm
posed.

WITHOUT ANY ESPECIAL EFFORT
ON THEIR PART = THE CON-
MITTEE WILL START TO WORK
IN EARNEST TOMORROW
MORNING-THE OUTLOOK IS A
BRIGHT ONE FOR A BIG TIME.
THE GREAT RACING PRO-
GRAMME OF THE FAIR.

1t was the expectation of the Finance
Committee appointed to raise the nec-
essary funds for Merchants Day cur
ing the State Fair to have gotten to
work yesterday, but unforeseen mat
tiers interferred and active work will
go over until tomorrow morning. Not
withstanding this, however. the Com
mittee already has five hundred do
lars on its lists, this money having
come in of itself, and there is every
indication that there will be an abund-
ance of cash to meet the programme
OF arrangements. The members of the
Committee and business men generally
are enthusiastic over the prospect, and
there is very commendable DISPOSE
ton to sink jealousies and prejudices
and work together for the common
good. A business man, a member of
the Committee, in discussing this mat
ter, said yesterday:
Eve are not at work for the State
Fair Association, nor for ourselves.
We are looking out for the business
interests of the city Of Wheeling as
whole, and take a broad view of the
whole matter. We expect business men
to meet us upon that basis. We ex-
pect to give the business visitors to be
brought to the city during Fair week
the best time they ever had, and to
that end there must be earnest and
active cooperation We will start out
soliciting in earnest Monday morning,
and expect liberal contributions on the
lines laid down and for the purposes
indicated. 1t is going to be a big
thing, but it will take little money,
and we don't wish to spend over two
or three days in getting it."
The State Fair is booming generally
all along the line, and promises to be
the biggest affair ever seen in the
city. Every department is full to over
flowing, and the farm products and I've
stock will be especially complete.
The races are beginning to excite
local attention, and through The lat
ural ambition of owners to get in on
the best track in the country for good
purses, and the side efforts of Messrs.
Bob" Anderson and DR.. Refer, there
will be very long string of fine nags
here. The racing programme, as orig
inally made out, which does not in
clude the extra events to be provided
on the score of Merchants Days, is as
follows:

DR.. D0WIE M0BBED.
Medical students Attack Him With
Ammonia and Eggs.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-Dr. John A. DoWie,
the alleged Divine Healer and profess
sed foe of the medical profession, at
tempted to lecture tonight in Second
Tabernacle" at Madison and Pauline
streets, on Doctors, Drugs and the
Devil" With the amiable intention of
showing unto them the evil Of their ways
DR. Dowie had announced that he wish
ed 10000 medical students would attend
the exercises.
The lecture hall is located close to sew
eral large medical colleges, and the stu
dents accepted the invitation. Only one
fourth of the number called for by DR..
Dowie was present. but they sufficed.
At o'clock $500 students gathered at
Wood and Harrison streets, and marched
to the tabernacle Every student was
provided with a token Of regard for
Dowie in the shape Of ounce bottles of
nitrate Of ammonia, and hydrosulphate
of ammonia. The plan was to meet Dowie
without ostentation, and allow him to
begin his address before applauding him
with the ounce bottles. The police had,
however learned of the plan, and thirty
officers, under Lieut.. O'Hara, were placed
in front of the hall before the time for
the lecture.
All the people that came before
o'clock were permitted to enter. the haLl.
After that no one went in.
Shortly before 7:30, the hour scheduled
for Dowie to arrive, the crowd Of students
reached the hall. When they saw their
way barred by the police they scattered
along the street for a Block, and emitted
college yells that were heard several
blocks away. The crowd was augmented
nearly one-half before the carriage con-
tanning Dowie appeared. When he was
yet a block from the hall the alleged
healer was greeted with boots and yeils,
and a shower of missiles.
One or two had provided themselves
with eggs and these flew dangerously
close to Dowie's head. In a few In
stances stones were used, and ammonia
by the pound or pint was thrown into
the carriage. AS a rush was made for
the conveyance detail Of police formed
around it and drove back the mob
Still guarded by the police. and sitting
as low in the carriage as possible, dodg-
ing this way and that to escape an egg
or a bottle of ammonia, Dowie was
driven to the door Of the hail. where he
was literally dragged through the thfong
by half a dozen stalwart officers. As he
entered the passage way the students
closed in behind him and made rush
for the stairs. They were forced back
by the police, but managed to hurl
enough bottles of ammonia into the hall
to force the waiting audience into wild
rush for the outer air.
To the few who remained Dowie made
his talk, but it was a very mild affair
compared to the harangues he frequently
bestows upon the medical profession.
Many bottles of ammonia were hurled
through the open windows, and when the
windows were closed glasses Were broken.
The students made a determined effort
to mob Dowie as he left, and the police
were forced to use their clubs vigorously
to force a passage for him. Several
students were arrested and taken to the
police station with difficulty, their COM
panions making determined efforts for
their rescue.
