    Liars and Murderers.
Now that Holmes has been judicially
done for it may not be amiss, apropos of
his taking off, tosay a few words on pe-
culiarities of public executions and to cor-
rect some popular delusions, from the
point of view of one who has been called
upon to chronicle twenty-eight similar
events.
A majority of the reporters who have
told us all about the manner of the mur-
derer’s legalized throttling have com-
mented in words of awe upon the remarka-
ble nerve he displayed, in that he did not
exhibit a tremor when he was in the jaws
of death. As a matter of factit rarely hap-
pens that the newspapers do not tell usa
few days before every execution that the
condemned man shows signs of breaking
down and as a further matter of fact the
condemned man never does anything of the
kind. Of the twenty-eight men whose
cases illustrate this particular experience,
all of them—with one solitary exception—
met their fate not with bravado, but with
absolutely stoic resignation and without
the slightest display of tremulousness.
Some were men of means and education,
some of them ignorant and poor, but they
faced the spectators of their dooms with
clear eyes and uplifted heads and dropped
into the abyss of eternity without a mur-
mur or a protest. Those who have studied
the problem carefully and who have wit-
nessed illustrations of it in various places,
have invariably reached the conclusion
that its solution is found in the religious
training to which the felons have for a
long time been subjected. In most in-
stances — perhaps in all — the natural
delays of the lay had caused a long
period to elapse between their convictions
and the executions of their sentences and
during that time they were invatiably im-
pressed through religious instructors that
their hours were numbered. They became
accustomed to looking into futurity calmly
and the result was that they, even when
their hands were manacled behind them,
mounted the steps leading to the trap of
death with less tremor than the ministers
of God who accompanied them.
The one exception referred to, was that
of Benjamin Hunter, who was hanged in
Camden for the murder of John M. Arm-
strong. And yet this was practically no
exception to the rule referred to. A very
recent local reminiscence of this execution
describes Hunter as collapsing with fear at
the last moment and while in this state be-
ing carried in the arms of the Sheriff and
his deputies to the place of official slaugh-
ter. This simply is not true. He who
denies it stood within two feet of the con-
victed man when he was strangled. The
facts are these :
Up to almost the last moment Hunter
was cruelly buoyed up with hopes that his
money would save him from the hangman’s
noose. When perjured testimony failed,
promises of escape were held out and only
the night before did he fully realize that
he could not escape the most ignominious
of all deaths. He then determined to save
his family from having this bar sinister
placed upon its escutcheon and with that
purpose in view attempted the most delib-
erate suicide ever recorded. He was con-
fined in a cell composed of four sides of
open iron bars and placed in the centre of
a large room on the top floor of the court
house building. This was called ‘‘the
murderer’s cage.”” In it he was watched
day and night without cessation. He was
always in view of a keeper. He was
hanged in January when the weather was
bitterly cold and at his request the night
before was given a heavy blanket to wrap
around his legs as he sat in a chair. He
was provided also with a tin cup contain-
ing water, but was not allowed either
knife or fork. He managed, without be-
ing detected, to tear a portion of the doub-
ie upper rim of the tin cup from its place
and, while pleasantly conversing with the
death-watch he calmly and without a grim-
ace, with this improvised saw, severed one
of the main arteries leading to his right
foot. He chatted and smiled while his
life-blood was ebbing away and it was only
when he fainted, from the weakness thus
caused, that his condition was discovered.
It required quick and able medical treat-
ment to save the life which the law pro-
posed taking the following morning.
There was certainly no lack of nerve in
that. oh
Hunter’s family, or rather sowie niem-
bers thereof, when all hope of saving him
was abandoned, determined, if possible, to
save him from what they believed would
be the dreadful agony of being conscious at
the time of his hanging. They therefore
secured the friendly services of a well
known merchant and politician of this city
who was also employed in a minor public
office, and he as a friend of the family was
admitted to the murderer's cell on the
morning of the execution. He had with
him a bottle of very strong brandy ; per-
haps it was drugged ; perhaps not. On
the quite natural plea that after losing so
much blood the condemned man needed
some stimnlant to prepare him for the or-
deal of death, the Philadelphia politician
was permitted to give Hunter some of the
brandy. As the keepers themselves first
tested it, fearing poisou and knowing that
the visitor would not dare let them drink
it if it was drugged, it is more than proba-
ble that the liquor contained no more po-
tent influence than its natural alcohol.
The more brandy Hunter drank—and he
was never known as a drinking. man—the
more he appeared to need. In his weak-
ened state the fiery beverage quickly affcot-
ed him and before the Sheriff knew what
had happened he had on his hands a help-
lessly drunken man who it was his duty to
hang forthwith. Accordingly Hunter was
placed in a chair and four men carried him
down the tortuous stairway leading to the
first floor and thence to where the noose
dangled. He couldn’t stand up simply be-
cause he was too drunk to do so and in
this condition he was hurled into eternity.
Of course, it was a dreadfully revolting
sight, but those who witnessed it and who
afterwards became familiar with the events
preceding it, never thought for a moment
that Benjamin Hunter showed a lack of
nerve when death befell him.
There are those who cannot imagine how
a man, like Holmes for instance, with one’
foot already in the grave and the other
trembling on its brink, can plunge into
eternity with a lie upon his lips. Yet
there are many instances of this, most of
them easily explained.
Among the first Mollie Maguires hanged
in the coal regions of Pennsylvania were
five men, McGehan, Boyle, Roarity, Car-
roll and Duffy, convicted of the murder of
policeman Yost in the town of Tamaqua.
They were hanged on the same day in the
Pottsville jail yard along with Thos. Mun-
ley, found guilty of the murder of Sanger
and Uren. The evidence which was re-
viewed by the supreme court, plainly
showed that McGehan and Boyle fired the
shots which killed Yost, and that the other
three were not present. But it was proven
by indubitable testimony that Carroll,
Duffy and Roarity had conspired to bring
about the killing of the policeman, with
whom they were on terms of enmity, and
induced McGehan to do the work because
they were utter strangers to the man whose
assassination had been determined upon.
Of course, needless to say, the law makes
no discrimination between an accessory be-
fore the crime of murder and the actual
participant therein.
The strongest effort was made to save the
elife of Duffy, and on the day of the execu-
tion Governor Hartranft’s private secretary
Chester N. Farr, was secretly given a re-
prieve which he was to use at the last mo-
ment in case any detailed confession was
made by the other men which would lead
to a doubt of Duffy’s guilt. For that rea-
son, instead of hanging the six men at one
time, as was originally intended, McGehan
and Boyle, who had fired the shots, were
placed upon the scaffold, and when asked
if they had anything to say, while they ut-
tered not one word regarding their own
guilt, they declared that Duffy was inno-
cent. Then they disappeared and the re-
prieve remained in Farr’s pocket, he stand-
ing in front of the gallows. Next Roarity
and Carroll were brought forth, and they
both not only declared that Duffy was in-
nocent, but that they were also, saying :
‘‘We did not kill Yost.”” Then the trap
opened beneath them and the reprieve was
still withheld. Next Duffy and Munly
mounted the scaffold. The former said :
“I die an innacent man,” but not a soli-
tary word did he utter in refutation of the
abundant testimony which had proved his
guilt. So, he too, was hanged, and the re-
prieve was destroyed, nor was its existence
known of until some time afterwards.
That same day, Father Gallagher, a
Catholic Priest of high mental attainments,
who had escorted the men to the gallows
and who had prepared them for death, was
asked the question : ‘Father, those men
who were hanged to-day were shrived by
you hefore they met their death, and they
believed, under your instructions, that if
they committed a mortal sin by dying with
a lie upon their lips they would he imper-
iling their immortal souls. Yet three
of them did that very thing. Apart
from your knowledge gained asa Priest,
you know that when they declared their
innocence they uttered an untruth. Why
did they run this risk of salvation? Why
did they do%hat thing?
‘‘The answer is simple,’’ said the Priest
gently. ‘‘A lie consists in the intention.
It must be born in mind that these men
had been born in ignorance. They did not
understand the refinements of the law. I
could not nor could anyone else drive it
into their heads that if a man does not
drive the knife or direct the bullet which
takes the life of another that he is equally
guilty with the one who actually sheds
blood. That is what was meant by their
declaration of innocence. They were not
present when Yost was killed.”
That is easily understood, but it can
scarcely be applied to the case of Holmes.
He was an intelligent and well educated
man, thoroughly versed in the intricacies
of the Iaw. Yet if the verdict of the jury
were correct and-the law made no mistake,
he, without any possible hope of being able
to gain nothing thereby, went down to his
death with a lie upon his lips by a quiet
but fervent declaration that he had not
killed the man whose murder is laid at his
door. An act such as this passes the com-
prehension of human reason, but if it
should leave a doubt in some people’s
minds as to his guilt, they can find as-
suagement of an emotionhal sensitiveness by
solacing themselves with the thought that
he ought to have been hanged anyhow be-
cause he talked so much.
If Holmes had had no tongue in his head
he would be alive to-day.—Megargee, in
Philadelphia Times.
——The Christian Endeavor Convention

members. Magnificent a showing as this
is, the number is 20,000 less than attended
in Boston. It is not likely that the meet-
ing in Nashville will equal that in -Wash-
ington, but it is good missionary work to
hold this stirring gathering in a region
where the Endeavor movement has as yet
had but little influence. Elsewhere the
past year has shown much progress in de-
nominational organizations of this char-

Thirty-Eight Injured, and. Some of Thegc Moy Die.—
Awful Railrond Disaster.—An Excursion Train and
a Fast Freight Collided at Logan, lowa, Early on
Saturday Evening.—All the Coaches Ditched.—
Freight Conductor Says He was Running on Orders
and the Engineer and Fireman of the Passenger
Have Disappeared.—Many Heartrending Scenes.
OMAHA, Neb., July 12.—An appalling
accident to an excursion train occurred
early last evening at Logan, Iowa, thirty-
five miles east of this city, on the line of
- the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, in
which thirty-one persons living in this city,
Council Bluffs, Missouri Valley and in-
termediate points, were killed and thirty-
eight injured. A number of the injured
will in all probability die.
The train consisted of fifteen coaches,
loaded with members of the Union Pacific
pioneers’ association of Omaha and their
families and friends. The excursion party
left Omaha early in the day for Logan,
Iowa, which was reached about 10 a. m.
and the day had been pleasantly spent.
About 7 o'clock the journey homeward was
commencéd. The train had hardly passed
the limits of the city and was rounding a
curve when there came a crash. The ex-
cursion train had been run into by a fast
freight known as No. 383, and all the coaches
were ditched.
The scene which followed is indesecrib-
able. Both engines and the first passenger
‘coach were demolished. The engineers
and firemen of both engines jumped and
escaped without serious injuries.
Conductor Modelin, of the freight train,
says he was running on orders and the ex-
cursion train was not. The engineer and
firemen of the excursion train disappeared
after the collision and this lends color to
the story as told by the freight conductor.
The news spread like wild fire and soon
the newspaper offices, depots and railroad
headquarters were besieged by a crowd of
frantic people who had relatives on the
fated train. The crowds did not scatter
with the break of day, although the excite-
ment of the night wore off as relatives and
friends of the dead ones hecame convinced
of the- worst. About 7 o’clock this morn-
ing the first funeral train from the scene
arrived at the Union depot. The first train
contained many of the more seriously in-
jured and twenty of them were taken in
ambulances to St. Joseph’s hospital. Sev-
eral of them cannot hope to live more than
a few hours. At 8:30 o'clock the train
carrying the dead arrived, containing seven-
teen bodies which were taken one by one
and placed in long rows on the floor of the
baggage room. Only friends of the missing
ones were allowed admission. Those silent
forms gave evidence of the force of yester-
day’s collision. Headless trunks, bodies
without limbs, limbs without bodies, were
gathered in that small space. Occasionally
some one would recognize the features of a
son or daughter. Kind friends would gen-
erally lead them from the room and the
body would be ticketed and sent to the
undertakers.
Tacks.
The best tacks are made of imported
Swedish iron, the next grade of American
soft steel and the cheapest of common
American iron. Tacks are also made of
copper. Some tacks are tinned, and for
ship use they are galvanized. Tacks are
made of sizes ranging from a half ounce to
24 ounces. The tack commonly used as a
carpet tack is an eight ounce tack. A 24
ounce tack is about 1} in length.
There are many- kinds of tacks, made for
a great variety of uses, and they are put up
in many different forms. There are gimp
tacks, looking glass tacks, upholster’s tacks
trunk tacks, lace tacks, basket tacks, brush
tacks coffin tacks, shank tacks, lasting
tacks, miner’s tacks, cheesebox tacks and
tacks for many other uses. Within the
past dozen years the sale of double pointed
tacks has increased tenfold with the great-
ly increased use of electrical wires. . Double
pointed tacks are also used for tacking
down straw matting and for other pur-
poses.
Tacks that are sold in papers are put up
in full weights, half weights, and quarter
weights, the weight indicating the size of
the package. Almost all kinds of tacks
are also sold in bulk in 25 pounds and 50
pound boxes and in 100 pound kegs
A one ounce tack machine will make in
a day about 100,000 tacks altogether. The
iron is fed into the machine in a plate
which is of a width a little greater than the
length of the finished tack, so as to allow
of material to be upset for the head. An
eight ounce machine will make about 200
pounds of tacks aday—1,250 to the pound,
about 250,000 tacks. Tacks that are put
up in papers are weighed out and papers
filled by hand. Comparitively few tacks
are put np nowadays in tied up papers.
They are put up mostly in little pasteboard |
boxes. These boxes are packed in larger
boxes and in turn in cases for shipment.
A common tack package is a case weighing
about 100 pounds.
The annual tack product of the country is
estimated at about 20,000 tons. If these
tacks were all put up in papers of the usual
assortment of sizes and weights, the papers
would number about 300,000,000 or some-
thing more than four papers per capita of
the population.—New York Sun.

tionalist ?’’
A Good Indication.
One hundred and fourteen Pennsylvania
postmasters are smiling and no
doubt are preparing to celebrate
with an enthusiasm born of recent-
ly strengthened patriotism which comes
from the knowledge that their salaries
have been raised in a substantial degree.
The 10 posémasters who suffered a reduc-
tion are entitled to sympathy, but they
can fittingly celebrate because they still
hold office.
Seriously speaking, the increase in the
salaries is a matter of some moment, as it
indicates that the alleged business depres-
sion is not so severe nor so widespread as
was supposed. It is well known that the
amount of business done by the postoffice
is a first-class commercial barometer. When
times are hard and business slack the
volume of mail handled by the employes
of the government falls off ; when business
is good and the people are prosperous it in-
creases, and the postal clerk is almost un-
consciously enabled to keep himself pretty
well informed, concerning the trend of
domestic trade at least. The increases are
all considerable in amount, ranging from
$100 to $800 per year.
In going over the list published yester-
day it is noticeable that it was the post-
masters of the small towns that fared best,
when the lump sum of their raises in sala-
ries is taken into consideration. For in-
stance, the salary of the Libonia office was
increased from $1,000 to $1,800. This
would seem to indicate that the agricul-
tural community is enjoying a season of
prosperity ; as the small offices are closer in
touch with the farmers, handling their
mail and being dependent upon them for a
good portion of their business.
The report also contained the names of a
number of Ohio and West Virginia offices
that were granted increases. All offices
referred to are in the presidential class.
Kings Killed by Horses.
Horse accidents caused the death of Wil-
lian I and William III, William II and
Richard I were killed by arrows, Richard
III was slain in battle, Charles I was be-
headed, Edward II, Richard II and Ed-
ward V were murdered, a surfeit of lamp-
reys cost Henry I his life, poison or a sur-
feit of peaches killed John. Poison is sus-
pected to have been administered to Ed-
ward VI, and the death of Henry VI is by
some historians laid to the charge of Rich-
ard, Duke of Gloucester.

A BELLEFONTE MAN.
MAKES A PUBLIC STATEMENT ON A SUB-
JECT OF INTEREST TO OUR CITIZENS.
Mr: B. Steel who is now selling
books may never occupy the presi-
dential chair. He may never as-
ire to be Mayor of Bellefonte but
1e is none the less an honest ein-
ploye, none the less active. and
none the less intelligent. No one
m the city would shy that he is
not an authority on lumber and
every one after reading his state-
ment must come to the conclusion
that his opinion of the old Quaker
remedy is backed up by positive
personal experience. Read his
statement carefully. “I, like a
Fou many other Lope went to
*. Potts Green's drug store and
Dred a box of Doan’s Kidney
ills for my back. Ihad very little
faith in their virtue for nowadays
advertisers will do anything and
say anything to get their mixtures
on the market. However. in spite
of the feeling, I tried them. In
fact I had to try something. Iwas
struck in the back eight or nine
years ago while helping 10 build a
use for a cousin. Ever since
then I have had trouble with my
back, not continually but at inter-
vals, it always seemed to pass away
of its own accord and return just
as mysteriously. A cold some-
times caused a recurrence and this
may have been at the bottom of the
last attack. The trouble was cen-
tered in the right kidney and I
could feel the shape of it, as I im-
agined I could from the soreness.
I could press it with my thumb and
it would cause increased pain.
When mY back was at its worst I
was troubled with urinary trouble
that lasted three or four weeks.
Well, Doan’s Kidney Pills belped
me from the start. I must confess
they relieved me in such a short
time that it surprised me to find
them act so quickly. You are at
liberty to make these
known.” .

all dealers, price 50 cents per box,
