THE BANNER REMoNsTRATEs.

The Clanton Banner wants to gently remonstrate with The Advertiser be- cause we congratulated Judge Adams on what we designated his conversion to Democracy" Perhaps the expression used was not exactly correct in this case. Re turn to Democracy would have been the more correct expression. as Judge Adams was one of the many good Democrats who joined his fortunes with Populism when 1t was thought that the new polit- icai theories would accomplish something. There were thousands like him who found fault with some of the principles and practices of the Democratic party and thought a new organization could be formed which would correct the evils and abuses of which they complained.
 We must take issue with The Banner, however, when it contends that ''the prin- cipIes of true Democracy were never ques- tioned by the Populists of this State" for the leaders of the new party, in Ala hama and elsewhere. apparently had little use for anything Democratic. That there were some good features in the Populist creed IS true enough, but that same creed contained much that was not only antag- onistic to Democracy but was utterly impracticable and antagonistic to the in- stitutions and intentions of our style of government. Judge Adams. like most oth- CT old time Democrats who went off with the new venture has learned that there is nothing to be accomplished by trying to form new political organization in Alabama and they will stick to the only one that can or will benefit the people

VIOLENT SCENE
AT A HANGING
HaCkenSack Murderer Breaks
Away From Guards
When His Wife Was Kept Away
From Him He Escaped and
Fought Desperately

r Hackensaek, N. j., Sept. &s-Peter
Hernia, who killed Butcher Kanter on
March last, paid the penalty for his
crime yesterday morning, when he
was hung in the county Jail. In eight
minutes Hernia was declared dead.
Hernia created a violent scene in the
jail. His wife had called to
sec him. but the Jail officials
would not allow the couple to meet
Hernia got glimpse of his wife, and
when he learned that he could not
meet her he became violent. He broke
away from his guards, ran down the
corridor and jumped a flve-foot space
TO a bathroom. He tore out a piece
Of the plumbing, and said he would
kill any one who came near him.
Bor a time the guards were at bay.
Then they attached the fire hose to
a pump, turned a stream of water on
the murderer. which knocked him
down and permitted OF his capture.
He fought desperately, and had to be
bound with straps. He was then
placed In a chair and carried to the
gallows, his clothing dripping wet He
was lifted from the chair and the
moose quickly adjusted about his neck.
The sheriff asked him if he had any
thing TO say. He replied in a weak
voice: "Goodby all. Excuse me-" The
drop was then sprung. and Hernia died
of strangulation. The condemned man
during Thursday night asked fre-
quently for whiskey, and yesterday
morning he refused to eat his break
fast. When whiskey was refused he
smashed a chair in his cell, and two
priests who were with him had great
difficulty in calming him.
Hernia killed Butcher Barney Kan
ter in his shop in Wellington. He had
asked the butcher for some meat for
his dog, and when the latter refused
Hernia shot him dead. A record for
the famous Jersey Justice" was the
result One month after the crime
was committed Hernia was placed on
trial. The jury was drawn in 33 min
utes, and in two days he was convict
ed and condemned to die.

vor Of the United States Steel Corpor-

MORE MARINES LANDED
Colombian Insurgents Have Arrived at
San Pablo

Colon, Colombia, Sept. sO.-Yes-
terday morning eighty more blue
jackets from the United States cruiser
Cincinnati, together with two quick
firing Colt guns, were landed in Colon
This action is believed to be due to the
receipt Of creditable information that
a representative of the insurgent Cen
eral Herrera is at San Pablo, a station
on the railroad.
In the meantime the railroad de-
spatched a special train with definite
instructions from Commander Mclean,
of the Cincinnati, to General Herrera's
representative at San Pablo, saying
that insurgent troops would not be
permitted to stop trains over the 18th
mus, or board them, as American ma
rines were maintaining the traffic from
sea to sea. A large force of insurgents
is said to be quite close to San Pablo
If this is so there is likely to be fight

cRUFF HANGED IN CAMDEN JAIL
Youthful Wife Murderer Walked
coolly 70 the seaffoId.

OODllI 10 llC OCdHOlQa
Camden, N. J., Sept. 20.-Calmly
and selfpossessed, with head erect
and unwavering step, Lafayette Gruff,
the youthful wife murderer, walked
to the gallows in the Camden county
Jail yesterday morning and forfeited
his life to satisfy the ends of justice.
The drop fell at 1904, and Is minutes
later life was extinct. Gruff met death
calmly, and though he only paid the
penalty for a dastardly crime as pre-
scribed by law, his nerves Of steel and
his cool demeanor brought forth the
admiration OF those who witnessed the
execution. Gruff was the youngest
Jersey murderer to die on the scat
fold. He was only in his 22d year.
having observed his 21st birthday last
May while in prison.
A few minutes before 10 o'clock yes
terday morning Gruff was told that the
time was at hand. Then, for the first
time, Gruff showed outward emotions.
His face blanohed and his lips trem-
bled slightly as he extended his hand
to say goodby to his spiritual advisers.
To Rev. Mr.. Thompson he said:
"Goodby, dear friend l expect to
meet you in heaven" These were his
last words. Promptly at 10 o'clock the
solemn march to the death chamber
began. He followed the ministers to
the scaffold, and, assisted by the two
guards, he mounted the 1S steps to
the platform. where Sheriff Sell was
waiting to receive him. Gruff had
nearly completed his hymn, and was
singing "Then while leaning on Thy
breast" when the sheriff placed the
black cap over his head and slipped
the moose about his neck. A moment
later the trap doors parted and the
young wife-murderer was hurled into
space, dangling at the end of a rope.
His death struggles were painful to
witness, but one of the attending ply
sicians said Gruff did not suffer very
much. Death was due to strangula-
tion.

QUEEN OF BELGIANS DEAD
Vas Seized With Attack Of Syncope and
Died Suddenly

Spa, Belgium, Sept. 2O.--Marie Hen.
riette, queen Of the Belgians, died here
suddenly last night. Neither her hus-
band, members of her family nor her
majestys doctors we're present at the
time Of her death. She was seated at
table eating light dinner, when she
was seized with an attack of syncope.

the day, had remarked upon certain
disquietiIS symptoms in the queens
condition, was summoned Immediately,
but her majesty was dead before he
arrived. Two members of her suite
were with the queen during her last
moments.
AS soon as the news of the queens
death became known, large crowd
gathered outside the palace. King
Leopold had left Bagneres-de-LuchoR
France, for Spa, and other members
of the royal family have been tele-
graphed for. NJ. DeSmet de Mayer, the
Belgian premier arrived here today.

ter OF the late Archduke Joseph of
Austria. She was born August %,
1886, and was married August %, 1858,
to Prince Leopold of Belgium, son Of
King Leopold 1, who ascended the
throne at the death of his father as
Leopold II, December 10, 1866. The
queen was noted for her piety and
charity, and, in recognition of her de-
votion to the church, the pope sent her
about nine years ago a notable token
Of HIS high esteem in the form Of the
Golden Rose Of Virtue.
The queen had been i'll for about
three years past Of a malady of the
heart and Of recent months her con-
dition had been so serious that little
