Neigentnd, II he Is executed under his
present sentence. will be hanged from the
same scaffold which has done so much
service in Douglas county. Sheriff Power
OF Omaha was in Lincoln today and made
arrangements Tor the transfer OF the prop
erty TO the penitentiary. The scafiold is
nov stored in the Douglas county court
house and will not be delivered until the
last minute before the time Of execution,
March 10.
1t is possible and also probable that
NeigenAnd will be granted a stay OF execu-
ton. While Governor Mickey will not ad-
nit that he intends 10 interfere, he will
not say be does not intend to interfere.
In view Of the fact that a bill is now pend
ing in the senate to abolish capital pun
tsnment and the fate OF this bill cannot
be decided by the time Of the execution. II
ls thought that this fact may have some
influence in getting for Neigenhnd a re-
spite.
To-Day NeiEenfnd made a statement to his
spiritual adviser. Rev. George Allenbach.

follows:

FusioniSt Primaries Monday.
Fusion primaries will be held Monday
evening to nominate candidates for mu-
nicipal Offices. A meeting of leading demo-
Gratis was held last night and il is the gen
eral opinion that a fusion ticket would
more likely land the municipal plums than
a straight democratic ticket. To that end
the populists and democratic committees
viii meet Friday evening and issue calls
for the primaries and the convention. the
latter to be held next Wednesday. 1t is
said that assurances have been made the
fusion people that the Civic league would
he with them in the coming election. Il
acceptable candidates are nominated It is
believed the Civic league will not only as
sist the fusionists in electing or attempt-
ing to elect a mayor and excise board, but
in the ward fights as we'll.
strike I'm restaurants
Between 1880 ara IL o'clock this morn
ing all the members of the cooks and wait
ers' union went on a strike. and as a con-
sequence university students were in great
demand by the restaurants. The restau-
rant keepers refused to sign the scale and
this occasioned the walkout. II was I'M
announced beforehand, and consequently the
restaurant keepers and those dependent
cn them for their daily bread were consid-
trably annoyed. About ten restaurants
we're affected. The unions are strong and
the proprietors OF the restaurants are
stubborn. so It is not possible to predict
how long the strike win continue.
