is PREPARED FOR HIS DOOM.
William r Leazer, The Murderer,
a Penitent Man.

If ever there was a penitent man
under sentence of death. William II.
Leazer, is one. Amy one visiting his cell
cannot but be impressed with his pre-
posing manners and humble dispUsi-
tion. His religious application before
his incarceration was that of a Pres
byterian.
The Rev. ]. II. Simons, priest in
charge of st. Phillips Church, has
been regularly holding services in the
Jail in connection with the Guild of
Mercy of ST. Anne's Church. He visit
ed the condemned man and gave him
words of comfort and encouragement,
and advised him to seriously consider
his spiritual condition. William Lea
zer thanked him for his visit, and
kindly requested him to frequently
call and minister to his spiritual
wants.
In addition to the Bible, which
was already in his possession, his
spiritual advil or provided him with a
prayer book and hymnal of the church
He finds much comfort in her teach
ing prayers in which they are so beau
tifully set forth, for all conditions CT
men His heart seems to fill with rap
ture and alteration when the Guild Of
Mercy sings the beautiful hymns Of
the church, which are so full Of mean
ing, he having expressed his profound
sorrow of the sins which he has COM
mitted, desired forgiveness from Him
who knows the secrets of all hearts
He was baptized into the Holy Gath
Ollie Church in the presence of the
Guild of Mercy. After baptism, mis-
only words were: "Thank God for
it, He meant the blessing.
After careful preparation and in
struction he, on Whitsunday, received
the Holy Communion. Those being
present were the Guild of Mercy and
the wife of the officiating priest.
Leazer's spiritual advisor, after con.
versing and praying with him often,
leaves him in tears. but they are tears
Of JOY. He says that he knows that
God has forgiven him aud that ne
has leone out Of darkness into light. -
Ii is evident that he seems to he a near
the unseen world as one who is lying
on bed of Iillness, looking forward
TO meet hisGOd.

BIG STRIKE At STATE HOUSE
Six Unions Are Affected By Strike
Order Issued By VIM.
]. Sims.
ALL WORK is AT sTANDsTILL.
Employment of NOn-Union Elec-
tricians Cause of The
Difficulty.

Trouble has been brewing for some
time at the State House developed
| this morning when strike was order.
cd of all men then at work on the build.
ing, both in the old and new parts.
AS result not tap of work was
| done today and all operations are at a
standstill.
For sey eral weeks there has been
authorization of decided move on the
part of the officials of the Structural
| Building Trades Alliance and this
morning it came in the shape of Mr..
w. J. Syms, local business agent, call
ing out all of the men ON the build
ing. The bone of contention are the
electrical workers, who have been en-
ployed at the building for some time.
The electricians, who are two in num-
ber with two helpers and are employed
by G. w. Walthour & Co., OF Balti-
more, are not members of any union.
Efforts have been made on the part of
the members of the alliance to have
the company send union men to do
the work, but without success.
The nearing completion OF the build
ing. which would require the services
of a larger number of electricians, de.
cided the officers of the alliance to call
a strike in an effort TO secure the en-
ployment of none but union men on
the building All of the other mechan-
les are members of unions and number
at least sixty. They are all affiliated
with the alliance which superseded the
building trades council This morn
ing, after n final communication with
the head officers of the alliance, Mr.
Syms ordered all of the men to lay
down their tools and cease work.
Included in tho trades affected are
the stone cutters, carpenters, paint
els, decorators, marble settlers, gran
ite settlers and riggers. All of these
ceased work, laid off their overalls
and left the building. Mr.. John II.
Sullivan, acting for superintendent
of Buildings Haslup, telegraphed to
Architect Pennington and then to
Governor Warfield in relation to the
matter. Architect Pennington replied
that he would come down at once and
see if something could not be done to
adjust the difficulty. Governor War
field could not be reached at once, but
it was expected that he would be heard
from during the day. Work on the
annex has been progressing very rapid
ly and there was every reason TO be-
1l6N6 blldt bu0 buAlNihR WOuAO bo l0huN
for the opening of the next session of
the legislature.
Some of the men who are affected by
the strike were employed in making
the changes TO the old Senate chamber
to do which it was necessary to move
the executive departments to the other
side of the building. 1t was intended
to get this work done as quickly as
possible and then it would be posi- bic
to have the permanent executive quar-
ters arranged. The members of the
unions interested in the strike are CON
fident that the matter can be speedily
and amicably adjusted and work re-
sumed in such time as to complete
all of the work in the time expected.
