"HTE" MEYERS
LAST HOPE.
Application Of Condemned Murder
er for a Communication of Sem
tenee win be Argued Be-
fore Board of Par
dons To-day.
ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR THE ExE-
cUTIoN NEXT WEDNESDAY.

The Board Of Pardons at a meeting to
De held to-day in Harrisburg, will con-
slider the application OF Samuel Peter
Meyers, twice convicted Of murder of the
first degree. for a Communication Of SEN
tence of death to life imprisonment.
Attorneys A. G. Holbert and F. J
kooser are in Harrisburg and will pre-
sent Meyers case to the Pardon Board.
They will argue that the condemned man
was irresponsible at the time the double
homicide was committed and therefore
should not be executed Petitions. said
to have been numerously signed by citi-
zens Of the county. asking that comma
tation OF sentence be granted will also be
laid before the Pardon Board.
Governor Stone issued warrants direct
ing the Sheriff TO execute Meyers on
Thursday, January 1lth. but subsequent
ly respited the condemned man for two
weeks in order that his attorneys might
appear before the Board of Pardons.
Meanwhile Sheriff Saylor has made sll
necessary arrangements for carrying the
sentence Of the law into effect, and unless
the Pardon Board grants the application
prayed for, Meyers will expiate the muir
der Of Michael Carney and John Len
hart soon after noon on next Wednesday.
Sheriff Ssylor visited Piltsburg last
week for the purpose of securing a rope
for the execution. Ropp. the famous
maker Of hangmen's nOoses. died in that
city a year or two ago and the Sheriff
was obliged to hunt up another manu-
fscturer ano engage him TO weave the
rope. The rope has been completed and
will be placed in the Sherif,s hands be-
fore the close Of the week. The Sheriff
has also completed a list Of twelve men
who will be officially inyited to be pres
ent at tie execution
The condemned man has not abandon
ed hope and still believes thai the Par
don Board will commute his sentence.
He talks freely about his case and de
clares that he is innocent Of W'illful aud
premeditsted murder. claiming that he
wss unconscious of all that occurred on
the afternoon be shot and killed Carney
and Lenhart. Meyers looks well and is
apparently enjoying excellent health.
In case his application for Communication
of sentence is refused Meyers will be
closely guarded night and day until the
hour for his execution arrives.

m.p.. B.uehman On the weather.

Manse Baughman, the well known
Summit township meteorologist paid a
visit to this office Thursday when he
made the following predictions Of this
weather the people may expect during
the coming year; From the l2th & l4th
/ of January We will have four or 1ve
| inches of '-kissel" snow-rain and sleet-
which will be followed on the 18th with
six or seven inches Of fine shedding snow.
The next new mOou will be ushered IN
amidst intense cold. There will be
thunder storm about the l5th OF March
extending from the south Atlantic 10 the
| North Pole, when no devil can live on the
sea. Farmers aud others should have
their barns and dwellings insured before
that time. Between the 20sh and 25t of
March great black clouds enveloping the
earth in inky darkness will appear. The
clouds will disappear after two days and
half, and will extend from Atlantic
City TO Kansas City. Four earthquakes
will visit this country during September
and October. There will be dry weather
during sugar season, with an average
crop. Good crops will be harvested all
over the world during the year. but low
prices will prevail. During the last week
of March railroads, street railroads aud
other routes of transportation will be
forced TO close down on account OF ice.
Tne freeze will be the greatest and hard
est ever known.
The stars will fall next November aud
before then people will do well to have
their lives insured, as some persons will
surely be hit. Thunder storms will be
frequent throughout the season, bat there
will be a scarcity of lightning, excepting
'.jerked lightning" Mr.. Baughman de-
sires that his predictions be espread broad
cast thro lghout the world. His post
Office address is Garrett, Somerset county,
Pa. aud he will be pleased to reply TO
all correspondents enclosing return post
age. Mr.. Baughman is forty-ive years
OF age and claims that he has been max
| ing weather predictions with nnvarying
success since he was seventeen years
old. He speaks lightly of the weather
| predictions made by Rev. Irl Hicks,
which he says are made for ihe middle
west aud without reference TO the east
ern states. In conclusion he declared
| that If Hicks can beat the prognostica-
tons be made he will retire and bag his
head until after next ground hog day.
