ing execution. Governor Brown today
commuted from death on the gaIlows ia
life imprisonment the sentence of John.
son Webb, a negro. to have been hang
ed in Early county on Friday next.
In an executive order the governor
tells how Webb probably saved the life
of his jailer and several of the depu-
ties. and certainly served TO keep with
in the custody of the state not less
than fifteen desperate criminals plan
ming to escape
The governor particularly stresses the
duty Of recognizing the good work of
all persons who help in the enforce
ment Of the law and makes it mani
fest that he will reward "as the inter-
ests of society will admit as being
proper and just all such persons.
Good Conduct Saves Negroes Life.
The order of Communication sets forth
certain Of Governor Browns views on
executive clemency significantly and
interestingly.
The governor touches lightly upon
one other phase OF the case, but he
makes it plain that Webb owes his
Communication to his good conduct, in
grave circumstances. and not particu-
larry to anything else.
The order among other things. says:
In the enforcement of the laws of
this state, it must be made clear
that not only will law abiding citi-
zens be protected. but that each
person aiding in the enforcement
Of the laws will receive such re-
ward as the interests of society will
admit as being proper and just
The hope Of this reward should not
be denied even to convicts who are
under sentences and who, as in this
case aid in protecting the lives
and officers Of the law. or otherwise
preventing crime.
Reprieved at Eleventh Hour
Webb was to have been hanged two
weeks ago, but the governor. at the
eleventh hour. decided to reprieve him
for fourteen days, upon shosying that
there was much to show in favor OF
Communication that had not been shown.
Colonel Jesse Perry. the governors
private secretary, had quite an excft-
| ing time getting the message Of re-
prieve through to Early county in time
to head off the hanging. only placing
the order in the sherff's hands an hour
before sentence was to have been car
red out.
Webb was convicted OF killing an
other negro in a fight and the jury try
ing him petitioned the governor to ex-
tend clenency, inasmuch as there may
have been doubt that the negro was
guilty Of deliberate and malicious muir
der in the first instance.

LYRIC THEATRE

The. holiday audiences at the Lyric theatre yesterday enjoyed the perform anceS of "Char1eys Aunt to- the limit. and it was certainly a pleasure to lis ten to the peals of laughter which aseended as the play progressed A better or more entertaining comedy, or a. stronger presentation of this one, has seldom been witnessed in Bridge port; and the success of the offering is assured for: the entire week.
 Last evening, the latest election re- turns were read from the stage, and even until very late hour, the thea tre was kept open for the comfort and convenience of it's patrons, in order that they might listen to the returns until the definite result was reached. The privilege was accepted by. almost every. one who attended the perform arce and there was much satisfaction expressed over this new move of the managers, Isham Heaphy, to provide so well for theiI friends.
 ssCharIey's Aunt which is to be seen for the entire week, is the most clever comedy offering on the stage today It possesses more. uproarious run than a perfect gale of laughter from the first scenes until the final fall of the curtain The: repeated predfcaments in which Charley and his friends, Jack and seBabba's, find themselves, are too

 The feminine characters of the play all possess a charm and grace which has not been so apparent in the for mer productions of the company. Whether it is because the parts appeal to one more keenly. or that they are more delightful in themselves, it is diff ficuIt to state. But certainly all the ladies Of the company appear to, espe- cially excellent advantage in sCharleys s Aunt and the audiences thus far have not been slow to appreciate the fact. Miss Lewis and Miss Cleveland lead in this. but Miss Kreighoof and Miss Rochte aequit themselves with splen- did effect and win the complete appro- bation of everyone.

<eT1le Rose of the Rancho is this weeks offering of the Washington Bridgeport Poll Players and to say that it is a. success would be express ing it mildly. Tt is without doubt one of the most beautifully staged productions ever seen in stock in this city and it looks as though standing room only will be the rule through out the week The play is overf ow- ing with gaiety and color, the cos tunes are pretty and the music is catchy. There is not dull moment from the rise of the curtain to the end
 The story of t.The Rose of the Ran -cfo'' deals with the problem of land jumpers ln the days of forty-nine, during the American invasion of Span iah California, when by the proclan1a- tfon of Admiral Sloat, lands were promised to those living quietly on them.
