The prisoners who had hsen kept
locked in their cells wsre released

no excitement among the convicts.
Scarcely 100 people had gathered

GREATEST PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.
Prison Superintendent Collins
made the following statement:
"The execution was ono of the
most successful ever conducted in

to bs taken in the case, because
both the warden and | received
hundreds of threatening letters,
many sf them asserting in violent
and incorporate language that the
prisoner would never be put in

"l have decided to bury the
body Of Cz"lgosz in tho regular

The funeral will take place some

One Hundred and Ten Ring
Horses Killed.
Col. Cody's Favorite Mount Dead
and the Old Snowman is Heart
broken Over the Loss of His
Trained Animals.

Charlotte, N. e.. Oct 20 -
Ono hundred and ten of the ring
horses of Buffalo Bills wild west
show were crushed to death In Il
railroad wreck nssr Lexington at
} o'clock this morning. Among
the horses killed was "OId Pap"
Col. Cody's favorits saddle h ,rse.
"Old Eagle, the star ring horse,
was killed and his manglsd body
fell on top of one of the wrecked
engines. The team of mules that
drew the Deadwood coach were
also killed. Col. Cody spent to-
day at the scene of the wreck and
is heart broken over the slaughter.
He says his loss is S6O,O
The accident was the result of
a head-end collision between a
fast southbound freight train and
the second section of the show
tram, and was due to- misunder-
standing of orders. Several train
hands were injured, but no ono
was killed.
Twelve thousand people greeted
tho wild west show in Charlotte
yesterday and it left at midnight
for Danvills, Va, where it was
to have made it's last stand of the
season. At Danville tho show
was to have disbanded and tho
animals sent to Bridgeport, Conn. +.
to 60 into winter quarters. The
show left here in three sections.
Near Lexington rs the section was
going at 25 miles Il hour, a fast
southbound freight train crashed
into it. Both engines were wreck
ed. Next to the engine of the
show train were two large stock
cars containing the horses and this
is where the slaughter occurred.
The cars were smashed into huge,
distorted heaps and only 9 horses
escaped alive. The scene was
sickening AMI from the mass of
wrsckage blood poured IN a stream
that ran alongside the railroad
track IN a small rivulci.
Col. Cody's engage nent ut
Danville was called off in conse-
quencs of the disaster which
mar ked the close of very sue
cessful tour.
lie had contract stipulation
with the Southern in case of acci-
dent, stating values of stock, etc.
The total net loss Is estimated at
between $4,000 and $50 900.
The careless engineer did not wait
to be discharged but left for the
North on No. sc.

Auburn Prison, Oct. 29.-
Czolgosz retired at 10 O'Clock and
slept s, soundly that when War
rem Mead went to call him this
morning shortly before 5 o'clock
the guard inside had to shake
Czolsosz to awaken him. lie sat
up on the edge of the cot and
made no reply to the warden's
"Good morning"
The prison official took from
his pocket the death warrant and
read it slowly and distinctly to the
assassin, who hardly raised his
eyes during the perfunctory cere-
mony
Just as the warden stepped
away from the cell door Czolgosz
called to him and sail.
81 would like to talk with The
superintendent"
The warden responded:
"He will be down presently. :"
Then the condemned man roll
ed over on his cot anxious to sleep
again.
DoNs DEATH COSTUME.
At 5:15, however, the guard
brought to him a pair # dark
trousers with the left leg slit so as
to allow the free application of
the electrode and a light grey
outing shirt He was told to get
up and put these on, which he
did
Contrary to the usual custom,
he was given new pair of shoes.
When dressed he laid down on
the cot again and in this attitude
Superintendent Collins found him
at $50 when he went down to
visit him.
The superintendent stood in
front of the cell and when the
warden had called Czolgosz's at
tention, he said
81 want to make a statement
before you kill me-
"What do you wish to say,
Czolgo'z!" asked the superinten-
dent.
II want to make it when there
are lot of people present. l
want them to hear me- said the
prisoner.
"Well, you cannot,' said the
superintendent.
Then | won't talk ut all, )" said
the prisoner.
After the superintendent left the
guards brought Czolgosz's break
fast, consisting of coffee, toast,
eggs and bacon and he ate with
quite a good deal of relish While
he was partaking of this the wit
nezees were gathering in The offices
of Warden Mead and at 7:OS the
procession marched to the death
chamber, going through the long
route corridor.
ARRANGED CHAIR TEST.
In the chamber Electrician Da-
Wis and former Warden Thayer
of Dancmora had arranged the
chair test, placing IA bank of 90
incandescents across the arms and
connecting the electrode wires at
either end. The witnesses were
ordered seated and then Warden
Mead briefly addressed them say
ing:
"IOu are here to witness the

MARCH TO DEATH CHAMBER.
The guards on. either side of
Czolgosz had h 0 d of his
arms as if either to. support him
or to keep him from making a
demonstration. AS he stepped
over the threshold he stumbled
but they held him up, and as they
urged him forward toward The
chair he stumbled again on >the
little rubber covered platform up
on which the chair rests.
I His head was g, ect, and with
his gre flannel shirt turned back
at the neck he looked quite boy
ish. He was intensely pale aud
! as he tried to throw his head back
and carry himself erect his chin
quivered very perceptibly. AS he
WAS beng seHted he looked about
at the assembled witnesses with
quite steady stare and said:
81 killed the president because
he was an enemy of the good
people-of the working people. "
His voice trembled slightly vt
first, but gained strength with each
word and he spoke perfect Eng
lish.
81 am not sorry for my crime"
he said loudly, just as the guard
pushed his head back on the rub
ber headrest and drew the strap
across his forehead and chin. As
the pressure on the strap tighten
ed and bound the jaw slightly he
mumbled.
81 am awful sorry l could not
see my father.
WARDEN GIVES SIGNAL.
When the strapping was com
pleted the guard stepped back.
Warden Mead then raised his
hand, and at 7:12:3O Electrician
Davis turned the switch that threw
l, 700 volts of electricity into the
body. The rush of the current
threw the body so hard against
the straps that they creaked per-
ceptihly. The hands clinched sud
denly and the whole attitude was
one of extreme tenseness. For As
seconds the full current was kept
on and then slowly the electrician
threw the switch back reducing
the current volt byNolt until the
current was cut off entirely. Then
just as it had reached that point
he threw the love back again for
seconds. The body, which had
collapsed as the current was re-
duced, stlffened up against the
straps. When it was turned off
again, DR.. Mcdonald stepped to
the chair and put his hand over

SOUGHT THE PRESIDENTS AID.
Mrs. Saunders Fight to Retain Her
POstOffce appointment.

The fight for the appointment to the
fourth-class postmastership at Newcastle,
Ky, was carried into the White House
today and presented to the President. al
though the matter IS one for Joseph L.
Bristow, Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General, TO handle. The politicians of
Henry county, in which Newcastle IS sit
uated. have decreed that the in
cumbent, Mrs Gertrude Saunders shall
vacate the Office and that II shall be
bestowed upon DR. J. P. Cray who exer-
cises the right TO vote, a privilege denied
to Mrs Saunders. because Of her sex.
The county committee has endorsed Dr.
Gray and, acting upon its recommenda-
ton, Senator Deboe presented his name
and asked that he be appointed
Mrs. Saunders has held the Office for
eight years, and IS she is widow, the
SO a month which she receives from the
Office IS Of great assistance to her in
maintaining and supporting her two chi.-
dren. a vast majority Of the citizens Of
Newcastle believe ;hat she should be al
lowed to retain her Office and have so
expressed themselves.
Mr.. Bristow, who has charge Of the ap-
pointment Of fourth-class pOstmasters. is
also favorable to retaining her in the pc
sition, there being no charges against her
or claim made as to ineficieucy.
The politicians want the office for Dr.
Gray. however, and are making a strong
fight for it
Mrs. Saunders. who is comeIy and at
tractive young widow, has come 20 Wash
ingtcn to fight her own case. It IS al
legged that she found all the Kentuckians
in Office here either against her OF un-
willing to take up her cause. and it was
only through the assistance of a Ken
tucEsian not in Office that Representative
Clayton Of Alabama was induced TO look
after her interests. Mr. Clayton called at
the White House with Mrs Saunders this
morning and she exhibited to the Presi-
dent her petitions with a long list Of sign
ers. who are citizens Of Newcastle asking
that she be retained.
The President welcomed her cordially.
but as the matter is one for AIr Bristow
to settle he turned the case over to that
official.
Mrs Saunders is quite certain that she
viii be able to defeat the aims and Dur-
poses Of the politicians. and as she left
the White House, she told Representative
Clayton enthusiastically that it would be-
Just the jolliest victory in the world if
she could go home with the appointment
and thus beat Senator Deboe and the pol
iIicianS.
