Public euildine for Burlington.

Among other items of interest con-
tanned in a special despatch to the
Burlington Free Press from Washing
ton, it is stated that Vermont will get
about 500, 900 on the omnibus public
building bill, as reported to the House
of Representatives. Only two projects
in the Green Mountain state will be
recognized in the forthcoming meas
ure. One of these will be at Burling-
ton, where the committee plans to
allow $4,000 in place of $500, 200
asked for by Congressman ID. j. Fos-
ter. 1t is thought that Burlington
may need little more than this. but
there is a disposition to allow an

Senate.
The other Vermont project to be
looked after is the increase for the
cost of the public building at Newport.

Complete Self-Possesssion.

According to Rev. Mr.. Roberts, the COL
ored clergyman, Who has attended fifty-two
condemned men on the scaffoid, Chapman
was unquestionably the most self-possessed
man in the face of death the clergyman
ever met. In the opinion of Warden Har-
ris the condemned prisoner was the hap

shortly before noon, Instructed him to place
his arms behind him when Capt. Waters
OF the jail guard appeared to tie him, Chap
man promptly rose to his feet, and placing
his arms in position, inquired: 'This way?'
When the guard did enter the cell the
prisoner promptly advanced to meet him
and assisted in the tying. On the march
across the rotunda and down the long cor
ridor to the scaffold Chapman was by FAR
the most active man Of the little party.
He moved at such rapid pace that 1t was
with difficulty that Warden Harris man
aged to keep ahead of him.
The condemned man sat up last night
until ii o clock conversng with Capt. Rams
dell and Guards Blandford, Campbell, Gum
and Perry. who were on watch. He then
retired and slept soundly until morning.
He told the warden that he had dreamed
that he was hobo and had been arrested
and sent to jail.

black clothing furnished by the jail. He
was careful to pin to the lapel of his coat

Fined for Assaulting Motorman.

A jury in the Police Court this afternoon
returned verdict of guilty against George
Washington, colored, thirty years of age,
charged with assault on Frank Clements, a
motorman employed by the Capital Trac-
ton Company. Judge Kimball directed that
Washington be confined within the jail for
six months unless a fine of $50, which he
imposed. shall be paid.
The evidence developed that Washington
had some trouble on a car in front of the
Treasury Department several weeks ago,
and was elected from the car by the con-
ductor and motorman. He again boarded
the car and attacked Clements, slashing his
coat sleeve with a knife.

The condemned mans mother called to
say goodbye" to him during the morning
His brother who is serving a term OF i'm
prisonment in the Jail, was also admitted
to his cell. The farewells were rather
pathetic, the brother feeling especially de-
pressed.
Chapman asked one Of the c1ergymen If
his death would be painful, and was as
sured to the contrary Il was knocked
senseless once and didn't know anything"
he prisoner said. Il guess my hanging will
be something like that"
In addition to Rev Mr.. Roberts, Rev. Mr.
Howard and Rev. Mr.. Williams were with
Chapman all morning and mounted the
scaffold with him. During the march the
clergymen sang Blessed Assurance"
Chapman joining in the singing In low
tones. Before passing out of the rotunda
turning his head nodded and said: Good
bye. Mr.. Flather!' On the scaffold Rev
Mr.. Howard began prayer. but he had
hardly uttered work before the trap was
sprung and all was over. It had previously
been decided not to hold any services on
the scaffold.
The rope used today was the same that
served for the executions Of Frank Funk

the District jail was that Of Funk, which
occurred November 0, 1900.
