BRYAN,s EULoGY OF sEwALL.
"a Man Of Strong Character, Deep Convictions
and Upright Life.
(By the Associated Press.l

Grafton, w. Va, September 6.-Mr.
Bryan was visibly shocked on being in
formed of the death of Hon. Arthur Sc
wall, his fellow candidate on the National
Democratic ticket in 1896. He received
the news through message from Mr.. Sc
wallis son and Immediately sent a mes
sage of coincidence. Mr.. Bryan expressed
himself as panied at the news and said
that Mr.. Sewall was a warm personal
friend as we'll as political associate. 81
met him first at the Chicago convention, .
he said, "and during the campaign, had
opportunity to become we'll acquainted
with him and have seen him at intervals
since, the last time in Georgia last Feb
ruary. He was a man of strong charac-
ter, deep convictions and upright life, and
he had the courage to stand for his opin-
ions, no matter how great the opposition
might be- When the silver fight divided
the party, he was one of the very few Ma
tional Committeeman, if not the only one
in New England, who voted with the sill
yer element of the party.
''He was q banker. but believed in BIZ
metalism He had a considerable income
but was willing to pay income tax and was
an earnest supporter of Democratic prin-
ciples in general. His death brings loss
to the entire party as we'll as sorrow to
those who knew him intimately"

He HANGS TODAY
Archie KinsauIs, the Samp-
son County Murderer.
The [ffor.s to Have Governor Russ Il Com
mute The Sentence to Life lmprison-
msnt, All Fail.

Mr.. John II. Gore, prominent law
yer of Wilmington, was in the city
yesterday to see Governor Russell in
regard to- the communication of the
sentence of Archie Kinsauls for the
murder of man named Herring. The
case has been subjected to several
delays, and it was thought all along
that the Governor had a disposition
to interfere again, but it was learned
Yesterday that he had refused to
grant the petition for a reprieve or
communication. And today the con-
demned man is to be hanged at Gin
ton.
The history of this case is most pc
culiar.
Kinsauls, a white man was convict
ed of the murder of man named
Herring in Sampson county, in No
vember, 1898. 1t seems that there
was bad blood between the two for
some time, and that Kinsauls was
distinctly in the wrong, having fol-
| lowed up his victim, and after having
brought on an alteration, stabbed
him with knife in the fight. He
was arrested, lodged in jail at Gin
effected by a party of his friends. a
reward for his recapture was offered
by the Governor, and after much eff
fort he was recaptured. His trial
took place at Clinton and he was con-
victed of murder in the first degree
and sentenced to be hanged. An APP
peal was taken to The Supreme Court,
which affirmed the decision and ver-

he has been respited twice by the
Governor Anneal after appeal has
been made, and every effort to avert

taken. but the Governor has decided

that gave rise to considerable COM
ment.
While the trial was in progress the
Jury sitting on the case were taken
to church Dv the sheriff on Sunday.
In the course Of the divine services
on that Sabbath rhe minister prayed
that the jury might give the prisoner
a fair and inn atrial trial, if guilty SO
find and if innocent acquit him. The
man of God prayed that each juror
might act fearlessiy and honestly in
the sight of mis- Maker and that the
prisoner should receive justice. This
prayer heard by the jury, was made
one of the grounds for appeal by Kin
sauls' counsel but in the opinion of
the court Justice Clark holds that
there was nothing in the prayer pref
judicial to the prisoner but he sounds
a warning against the danger that
might arise from the practice of send
ing the jury to church under such
circumstances.

HANNA DID 1T.
Perry Heath Claims the Senator
Settled the Strike.

Chicago. Oct. Is.-In regard to the set
tlement Of the coal miners strike in
Pennsylvania Senator James K. Jones.
chairman of the Democratic national
committee said:
The settlement indicates clearly to
my mind the fact that the trusts are
beginning to have a wholesome regard
of public opinion. They would not have
yielded to the demands of the men ex-
cept from fear that the consequences
might be disastrous to the administra-
ton, which is the friend of the trusts
This public lesson viii not be lost It
means that the trusts are themselves
afraid of the people, and is a hopeful
sign for the Democracy.
At Republican national committee
headquarters Secretary Perry S Heath
stated that some weeks before the strike
was ordered Chairman Hanna was re-
quested by delegations headed by Presi-
dent Mitchell to try to effect an adjust
ment of the miners grievances. Mr.
Hanna informed the delegations that he
was glad to hear from them and that
ne would consult with the mine owners
so as to be informed on both sides of the
situation After doing so he concluded
that nearly all of the claims of the
miners should be allowed. The prin-
cipal object of Mr.. Hanna's last visit to
New York, Mr.. Heath said was to con-
suit with the mine owners and railroad
officials, and he then secured a promise
that they would accede to substantially
