Par(lOns

Governor Grants Several Conditional
PardOns.
The discussion Of the contest for the
interest in and around the Capitol since
the converting of the Legislature, greatly
released the tension of the HILL and on
yesterday considerable business of a
routine nature was transacted in all
offices. Governor Tyler received the
usual number of callers, most Of whom
discussed matters now before the Legis-
lature.
Governor Tyler granted the following
conditional pdrdOnS yesterday morning:
Emanuel Widener, sentenced from the
Circuit Court OF Washington county in
September, 1888, for three years for ma
liciouS burning; Peter Hairston (coiored),
sentenced from the Corporation Court

for grand larceny; Lindsay Shiiiett, sen
fenced from the County Court OF Abe

represented to the Governor as being
