RcpricVc For NJ urdcrcr HOch.

CHICAGO, July 2S.-At 1910 o'cock,
an hour and 20 minutes before the
time Johann hoch was condemned to
be hanged, Governor Deneen issued q
reprieve for the convicted wife mur-
derer and confessed bigamist, in or.
der that the supreme court may review
his case. The reprieve is granted uu.
til August 25.
1t was not until the eleventh hour
that the alleged Bluebeard received q
ray OF hope that he would not be ex'
ecuted for the murder Of his wife,
Marie Welker Hoch. Dr.. l.. H. Mont.
gomery, the we'll known physician and
Mrs. Cora Wilson, woman of we ealth,
called at the Jail and announced that
they had raised the 81, 100 needed by
Hoch to perfect his appeal to the su.
preme court. States Attorney Healy,
who has been in charge of the prose.
cutiOn OF Hoch, announced that he
would at once communicate with the
governor.
DR.. Montgomery has taken an &C.
tive interest in the case from scien.
tific point of view, asserting that in
his opinion the analysis of the alleged
crime is incorrect and that Hoch
could not have committed the murders
charged to him.
HOch was sentenced to hang between
10 o'clock and noon today, but the
march to the scatfold was delayed un'
til the last moment, pending the result
OF the heroic efforts of those interested
in his case to raise the balance OF $6Ot

proved By secretary Wilson.

tions for the shipment Of livestock un-

The yellow Fever Scare.

NEW ORLEANS, Julya29. The most
disquieting news in the yellow fever
situation today is :the evidence that
panic Is increasing in the smaller
towns Of Louisiana and Mississippi
and that a disposition is growing to
revive the disastrous quarantines Of
1897, when some of the country towns
even refused to receive ice or hard.
ware from New Orleans. Several
towns in Tennessee and dkothers along
the Mississippi valley road in Missis.
stppi refuse to allow express matter OF
any kind to'be put off. Port Gibson
will not take bread or anything wrap.
ped in burlap that may be shipped
from this city. Some of the Texas
towns are asking that the mails be
quarantined. II the movements of
freight be stopped New Orleans will
suffer much more seriously than from
the fever itself.
Up to the present there has been no
local apprehension of q dangerous
epidemic and it was believed that il
the boards OF health IN other states
lived up to their agreements not to
place any restrictions upon the trans.
portation OF freight, there would not
be any serious reduction of business,
and the chief Inconvenience would be
the inability of the country people to
come here and of New Orleans people
to go into the southern towns and
cities
