DONEGAN IS STILL LIVING.
The Trenton True American saws

AHo IIoutou lTuo american says:
1T is now the belief of those inter-
ested in the case of Richard Donegan,
who was scheduled to die this week in
the electric chair, at the State Prison,
that he has escaped death only to meet
doom in another way. Just what will
be done in his case has not yet been
decided. No action will be taken until
later in the week, when there is a
chance to learn just what course has
been taken by the Court of Pardons.
Tt was the belief of Principal Keeper
Osborne, of the State Prison, that he
had an insane man on his hands. For
that reason several weeks ago he had
him removed from the death house to a
cell in the south wing. Donegan created
such distu1 bance before his removal
that he had the other inmates of the
death house in a perfect uproar, and
their last days were anything but calm
and peaceful. In addition to that,
Donegan's health was failing so rapidly
that it did not seem as though he
could live more than week or two at
most.
Relatives of Donegan, with Keeper
Osborne, presented the case to Cover
nor Fort, showing that the man was
insane years ago, and at one time an
inmate of an asylum in Pennsylvania,
1t was after his release from that in
stitution that he committed the murder
for which he is now under death SEN
tence.
"Since the removal of the prisoner to
another part of the prison his health
has been steadily improving. His ap-
petite is better, and he is gaining
weight. The chances seem to be that
he will soon be in as good health as
ever. Then. too, the man does not
have the hallucination that he is as
rich as he was at one time Formerly
he spoke of millions as the ordinary
man would speak of pennies, and he
had no doubt in his own mind that he
had wealth and influence enough to
cause the demolition of the State gov
ernment and the prison, if need be.
Since being taken from the death house
his mind has become normal, nearly,
again.
Those who have him in charge are
now of the opinion that he will ulti.
mately recover within the 30 DAYS,
which have been granted as reprieve
by Governor Fort and that it may be
necessary to set another time for his
execution.

COMING OF GOV. GLENN.

Written for the Pioneer by Rev. Joseph L. Ewing
Thursday afternoon at two and
Thursday evening at eight are red
letter hours to remember They are
Ex- Governor Glenn's dates in Cumber-
land County. Governor Glenn has
never been heard in Bridgeton. He
has spoken to multitudes up the state,
however, and has made the deepest
klnd-of an impression. Rousing ad-
dresses were given by him last winter
in Camden, Newark and Hoboken, as
we'll as before the Anti Saloon Conven.
tion in Trenton.
An idea of his grip upon the public
ear up the state may be gotten from
the following extract from a Newark
paper:
Governor Glenn spoke to magnifi-
cent audience at Hoboken on Friday
night His many climaxes were greet
ed with tremendous applause. On Sat-
urday evening he spoke with great
forcefullness and made deep impress
sion upon his great audience at Cam
den The climax of the Governor s
tour was reached on Sunday afternoon
when he spoke at the Lyric Theatre in
Newark. An hour before the schedule
time to begin many were standing at
the entrance of the theatre and fifteen
minutes before the schedule time the
theatre was packed. The re.commis-
sioner was obliged to order the aisles
cleared. The chairman at this point
announced that the Methodist church
had been opened for an overflow meet
ing, that the people were already pour
ing in there and if those who were in
a position where they could not remain
on account of the rules of the fire
department., would hasten they might
get seat in the Central church, where
Governor Glenn would report after
speaking at the theatre. For over two
hours hundreds waited at the Central
church to hear him. The influence of
all the meetings was far reaching and
all acknowledged the meeting at the
Lyric to be the greatest meeting fer
temperance that Northern Jersey had
ever seen.''
The people on all sides are talking
about the coming of Governor Glenn.
They want to see him and hear him,
and everything points to record
breaking crowds at the mass meetings
at the Park on Thursday.
The Commercial League will give
the distinguished guest a hearty
welcome to the city and a public recep-
tion. The Committee in charge has
generally invited the public to these
meetings and no admission will be
charged

this years casualty list for this city
and vicinity comes pretty near to
being record breaker. It Is exceed
ed only by that Of 1900, when twelve
were killed and 1888 injured. But as
eight of the victims of that year were
killed in one explosion. the causalties
this year are really greater, as they

The Gaynor Glass Works, of Salem,
has succeeded in manufacturing glass
casket for man in Texas. The casket
is left open at one end and has a close
fitting lid, and will be used in cases
where the victim of a contagious dis
ease has died, thus exposing the body
to view and at the same time prevent

Dogs Have Fits.

Justice W. H. Carton had six
months old dog which developed very
peculiar actions and fearing it might
develop rabies it was killed. Caleb
Miller had a hound similarly affected
and 1t too was put to death. A similar
experience was had by Phil Henderson,
and his youngsters buried the dog in
little coffin. Other dogs have been
killed for the same reason in North
Bridgeton. Veterinary Tremain says
that the desease- seems to be something
OF an appopletic fit, and he says it is
possible that rabies may develop.
