DeATH WARRANT READ TO GREEN AND
day received from Harrisburg the papers
in the case of Ira Green and Wm. Dilled,
now under sentence of death for the mur-
der of Jerry Condo, and at 11 o'clock Mon-
day morning, in the presence of two wit-
nesses, read the warrants to the con-
demned men. There was a separate war-
rant for each man and the one for Green
was read to him first. When the sheriff,
accompanied by his witnesses, entered
Green's cell and told him that he bad
come in to read the death warrant to him
in accordance with the requirements of the
law Green replied, ‘‘All right, sir;"’ and
with a very indifferent smile on his face
and a nonchalant air calmly leaned against
the wall and heard the. docoment read
thiough. to the end without =o much as
| even the quiver of an eye-lash. When the
sheriff finished reading the warrant he
told Green that now that he knew when
the day was and that the time was short
he bad better prepare himself accordingly.
*‘Ob, that’s all right,’’ replied Green; ‘I'm
ready anytime,”’
The sheriff and witnesses then crossed the
narrow entry way to Dillen’s cell when
Green called omt: ‘‘There comes the
sheriff, Dillen; stand up and take your
medicine, like I. did.” Dillen’s greeting
was not so ignorantly effusive as that of
Green and when the sheriff told him that
be bad come to read the death warrant to
him he merely bowed his head in acquies-
cence. Thoughout the reading of the
warrant, however, he stood with bis pipe in
his mouth, smoking. When the sheriff
told Dillen that now that he knew how
short the time was to prepare himself ac-
cordingly his only reply was’ to how his
head.
When the sheriff and witnesses came out
of Dillen’s cell into the corridor Green call-
ed out “Now, sheriff; read one of them
things to John, there;”’ (meaning John
Trafford, who is on day watch.) While
the reading of the death warrants was an
official act the sheriff bad to perform it
was not the first knowledge the prisoners
bad of the day set for their execution, as
they had already learnad the time in some
way or other, so that the reading of the
warrant was no surprise to them.
Neither of the men show any trace of
their close confinement or of worry. They
ar e both the picture of rugged health and
weigh over 175 pounde-much heavier than
w ben they were put in jail. Rev. W. B.
Cox, of the United Evangelical church, is the
spiritual adviser of the two men and those
w ho see them every day say shat Dillen of
late bas shown a realizing sense of the
serious predicament into which he has got-
ten himself and at times even exhibits
signs of a penitential mood. Not so with
Green, however: who through it all has
dis pla ed the spirit of} same bravado that
characterized his conduct the night of
their recapture. That the carrying ont of
the sentence of the law will take place on
the day set is bardly to be doubted, as the
hoard of pardons will not likely interfere.

THE KARTHAUS FIRE BRICK WORKS.
—-Good progress is being made in the eon-
struction of the Karthaus fire brick works
and the buildiog of the branch railroad to
connect the plant with the Beech Creek
railroad. The large main Luilding is fully
completed and the annex will be finished
in a few days. The engines, boilers and
brick making machinery are ready for ship-
ment aud as soon as the railroad is in work-
ing order the machinery will be shipped
to the works and the placing of it will be
begun at once. Smaller buildings, such as
pattern shop, blacksmith shop, storage
room and office have been contracted for
and will be ready for use as goon as needed.
The building of a tram road to convey the
raw material, olay and coal to the works
will be commenced as soon as the weather
moderates sufficiently to make that kind
of work practicable.
The branch railroad is fully graded, ties
are on the ground and the laying of these
with the rails it is expected will be begun
within a week. It is the purpose of the
Karthaus company to have their plant in
operation in the early summer.

service with Altoona, Johnstown, Tyrone,

the wonderful success of this company Belle-

ance is filled by a Bellefonter. Organized

Famous NEW ENGLAND NOVEL ON THE
STAGE. — In the stage prodoction of
“Quincy Adams Sawyer” the essential
features of Charles Felton Pidgin’s famous
New England novel of the same name have
been followed, and they are said to have
been handled to extremely clever advan-
tage. It is a distinctly enjoyable piece,
both in itself and in the ingeniously natural
work of the people presenting it. The pro-
duction to be seen here, at Garman’s,
Wednesday evening, March 22nd,
is the
same in every detail of scenic production
and cast as seen during the New York run
at the Academy of Music: There is a laugh
almost everywhere, despite the tender seri-
| ousness pertaining to Alice Pettengill’s
patbetic figure as the much loved blind
girl and to her value as the central featmie
of the love story. It is a most entertaining
picture of rural life, and presented on quite
a different plan from any other hucolic
drama. Its features and typical characters
are said to be exceptionally well presented,

want to again call the attention of our
readers to the entertainment to be given in
the court house tomorrow night by the
Colored Canadian Jubilee Concert company,
for the benefit of the Ladies Aid society of
the Methodist church. This company is
oue of the best colored concert organiza-
tions now traveling and, of their appear-
ance in New Castle, Ohio, the Herald says:
‘“The melody put into their plantation
choruses, together with the spirit and soul
of rendering same, is not often heard. The
special features of the evening were the
solos by E. S. Thomas, who bas a wonder-
fal voice for depth and power; the tenor
singing of C. T. Moseley, who is a humorist
and actor of merit, as well; the singing by
Miss G. E. Fowler and ‘the reading by
Madam Lewis. They were compelled to
return three and four times and did it as if
they thoroughly enjoyed it. They can
count on a packed house should ey re-
turn again.”
