The ChOriSters' Straw Ride.

Saturday night, after the choristers of
the Methodist church had concluded Il
practice of sacred hymns for the next
days services, Mrs. Sd. Nanlandingham
rendered them a surprise in the form of
an invitation 10 take strawride in a
One-hnTse wagon. They accepted the IN
vitatiOn with great jnbilation, as IA matter
of course They rode all around the town,
across the railroad and into Ebonyville,
and in coming back the same railroad
proved an Impediment To their peaceful
progress. The horse said: "Hyepus. | can
not pull you over tins crossing" Every
one got out, the horse pulled the wagon
over the crossing, and then they got in
again. The city clock (somewhere) was
chimins the midnight hOur, ere the last
one had babe goodnight To the horse and
thanked Mrs. Nanlandingham for having
so generously furnished the means of
their having such pleasant nocturnal
celebration.
There were in the party:
Misses Clara Saunders, Bessie Hall,
Monte I.apham. Mollie Parker, Florence
Vanlandingham, Aleph Minis; Messrs.
RI Moon, !. T.. Mickler, Arthur Brown
AMI Ernest Nanlandngham.
Ernest says ''the horse was surely sick
next day and not able To be out"
One of the young ladies was heard To
say there We're sand-spurs in the straw.
1t was also stated that when the horse
saw the last person getting in the wagon
he turned to Ernest and said: Il see my
finish"
Mr.. Mickler was made the target of
shafts of random thoughts from the text:
"No peace give unto yOu," and is now
more thoroughly convinced that great
minds drift in the same channel" In
deed?

MIR. Bryan on the Negro.

Mr.. Bryan made many speeches
throughout the West last week While
he was discussing the status of the
Filipinos some one in the crowd asked
How about the negroes
Mr.. Bryan answered warmly: Il am
glad you spoke of the negroes. If you
will look at the Sulu treaty you will not
have Il chance to talk about the negroes
during the campaign. l don't know
of purer piece of hypocrisy than of the
Republican who defends the Sulu treaty
Southern States. Under the Sulu treaty
the flag floats over the Sulu Sultan's
palace and under Section 10 it is pro-
vided that the slaves can buy their
liberty at the market price when they
earn enough to do so-working at moth
ing day. If you find there is a race
question in this country that will re-
quire all the patriotism and the intelli-
gence of people, both North and South,
to solve, is it reason why you should
drag in another question: Is it reason
why you should bring into this country
5000, 900 brown people not to share in
the destiny of this country? There is
not Republican in position to de-
fend the negro question. The Repub-
lican party has taken the negro for 30
years to an Office door and then tied
him on the outside The negro has be-
slowed Presidents on the Republican
party, and the Republican party has
given to the negro janitorships in re-

Cuts Two Threats.

BEATTYvILLE,K KY, Sept. 30 Walter
Evans, bright young man, and broth
er of County Superintendent Louis
Evans, who lives about five miles south
of here, last night cut the throat of his
wife from ear to ear with razor, kill
ing her instantly, and immediately APP
piled the weapon to his own throat,
with the same effect. Evans had been
married only about one year. His wife
was beautiful young woman of nine
teen years and they seemed to live hap
PLY together No cause can be assigned
for the crime. They had living with
them little girl about nine years old,
who was the only witness to the killing.
Her screams brough neighbors to the
scene, who arrived only in time to see
the man falling with the razor in his
hand.

Strike Alarms Hanna.

HAzLEToN, Pa, Sept. 80 Chairman
Hanna, of the Republican national com
mittee, is making great efforts to stop
the coal miners strike. He sees in il
danger of the defeat of Mckinley for
reelection, and he is in constant COM
munication with the operators, urging
that they make concessions to end the
trouble.
Special messengers from the Repub-
lican national committee are all through
the region, comforting with orators and
trying to fix up plan whereby the
strike can be stopped
Hanna's pressure is SO great that the
operators are casting about for way to
give the men concessions and yet ignore
President Mitchell and the other lead
ers. The plan now under consideration
is to grant enough concessions in indi-
vidual mine and company cases to con-
vince the men that it will be to their in
terest to 20 to work and get enough of
the workers into the mine to break the
strike. The operators are willing to
concede on the questions of power, COM
pany stores, company doctors and the
like if they can avoid any direct refer
ence to the wage scale.

Boss Hanna and Gov. Mount.

EVANSVILLE, IND, Sept. 20.-The
speech-making tour of Governor Mount,
which came to a close yesterday at
Petersburg, was disappointment to
the machine" Republicans
In almost every speech Governor
Mount made, he said trusts We're real
live things, and that they ought to be
destroyed. At the New Harmony meet
ing some one in the crowd yelled:
How about Mark Hanna?' The Gov
ernor replied that Hanna was wrong on
the trust question, and that he was not
the kind of Republican he admired.
After the Petersburg meeting Governor
Mount told party Of friends that he
wanted to see the time when men like
Mark Hanna would have no place in
politics. He added: He is dangerous,
and am afraid the party made big
mistake when they brought him into
the State to speak. Hanna is a friend
to the trusts and does not want them
destroyed. There are many farmers IN
the State who know trusts are grinding
the life ont of them, and when man
like Hanna says there are no trusts, he
simply makes himself ridiculous and
hurts the party. am friend to the
farmer, and want to see measures passed
by Congress that will benefit him. l
do not believe in trying to deceive
him"
Leaders in the Republican party here
continue to talk about Mounts bold
and say he ought to be
taken off the stump. But is Chairman
Hernley able to shut off the Governor

HOWARD SENTENCED
To Hang December Z, but Sen
tence's Suspended for
Sixty Days.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept 30 The
motion for new trial for James How.
ard the convicted murderer of Gov.
William Goebel, was overruled by
Judge Cantrill at $3.50 o'clock this after
noon, and the condemned man was sen.
fenced to be hanged Friday, Decem.
Der :.
The scene in the courtroom when
Howard stood up to receive the sentence
was a most impressive one. Not a
friend or relative of the condemned man
stood around him to comfort him with
the prospects of reverse action by the
Court of Appeals or of executive elem
ency, and the stiffness that pervaded
the courtroom following the words of
Judge Cantrill, and may God have
mercy ON your soul" was broken by
the command of the Sheriff that How
ard return to Jail and to the death cell,
which he has occupied since his convic.
tion.
Howard was deathly white. but self.
possessed during the ordeal, and in re.
Spouse to the query of the court if he
had any reason to give why the death
sentence should not be pronounced
against him, calmly replied only
that am innocent.
The grounds for the motion for new
trial, which was overruled by the court,
were that certain members of the jury
had pre-judged the case and that errors
had been committed against the defend
| ant by the attorneys on their side of the
prosecution. Affidavits and counter
affidavits by the score were filed, and in
finally passing upon the motion, Judge
Cantrill disposed of the charges against
the jurors by saying that the court
house was accessible to all the persons
who made affidavits against the jurors,
and that if they had grounds to now OBJ.
ject they should have appeared in court
during the trial of the case and object
ed then. He said that the only question
that he seriously considered in connec-
ton with the motion for new trial
was that of the competency of allowing
witness Culton to tell Of IA conversation
with defendant Henry Youtsey in the
absence of the defendant Howard, but
that he was governed in admitting it
by ruling of the Court of Appeals in an
opinion by former Chief Justice Pryor.
Before adjourning court finally the
Judge directed the clerk to enter an
order on records of the court suspend
ing the Judgment of the court in the
case of Howard for sixty days pending
an appeal to the Court of Appeals. The
case can not reach the higher court I'M
til the first week in December. If TAX
en- up at once, which is not likely, it
would hardly be decided before the 10th
of December, three days after the time
fixed for the execution. If the judg
ment of the lower court be affirmed the
defense then has thirty days to file a
petition for rehearing, so that in any
event the condemned can not be hanged
for four months, and then the Governor
will have the fixing of the day Of execu-
ton.
