The First of Drover McCausland's Murderers Suffers the Penalties of Law. SCENES ASD IKCIDESTS OP THE DAI. The Doomed Man's Wife Compelled to Walt 14 to Bid Him Goodly. Hiles Many people believe an innocent man was hanged at Waynesburc, Green county, yes terday. Fully as manv others place the dying man's claim of innocence alongside of scores of others where the evidence was strongly against the truth cf their claims. The details of the execution are given be low. rFROM A BTAFF COKBZSPOJTDENT.l "Watnesbtteo. Pa., February 26. "I believe that the man who was haaged here to day was innocent," said Kev. J. W. Max well two hours atter the execution of George W. Clark for the murder of W. M. McCaus lacd, of Allegheny City. "Be v. Mr. Max well is the young Baptist theological student who has acted as Clark's spiritual adviser for two years and who stood beside him on the scaffold this morning. 'Since Clark's imprisonment," continued the clergyman, "I have been on terms of close intimacy with him. His whole bear ing has always been consistently in harmony with his claim ol innocence. Several months ago I went to Philadelphia to attend college. "While there I received upward of 30 letters from the condemned man. In that nnmberof letters a guilty person, and especially Clark, Who Died on the Oallotcs Yesterday. one as illiterate as Clark waS, wonld have let drop some word or emphasis betraying his guilt. But I submitted his letters to some of the greatest experts in criminal matters in the East One and all agreed they -re the heart-written letters of an innocent man. A PBOFESSED CHRISTIAN. "A s far as it is possible to judge, I should think Mr. Clark died a Christian," con tinued Mr. Maxwell. "He always seemed pleased to have me call on him. I long since pointed out to him the way to salva tion both as a guilty man or an innocent person suffering from the falsity of others. He accepted the latter, and fully and freely forgiving those who had sworn away his v life, he talked to me last night of his 1 future in the Great Unknown with perfect freedom and assurance. He professed Chris tlanitylo his last moments, and in looking over his Bible since his execntion I am con vinced by his pencil marks therein that he found the savins grace. I was with him last night until midnight and he prayed with me frequently. This morning I talked with him in his cell a lung time. Hi; last request was for me to go to Masontown to bury him. He also requested me to give his Bible to his widow, to be kept by her for the children." HIS LAST NIGHT. Clark's last night on earth was very rest less. At a late honr he dropped into a sleep which was very much broken. He wonld doze from half to three-quarters of an hour, then awake. Thus he passed the night. "While asleep he would moan and sigh. He got up at about 6 o'clock this morning and ate half an orange, after which he was vis ited by Eev. Mr Maxwell and the Sheriff. He atterward drank a milk shake and ate a banana. He was better physically than he has been for several days. At 10:50 this morning the prisoner was led out of his cell. In the corridor his arms were pinioned behind him and leather straps placed on bis legs for adjustment later when the scaffold was reached. The mournful procession then started en its solemn journey to the scaffold. It consisted of Drs. TJllom and Borroughs, who were chosen as physicians; Kev. J. W. Maxwell and Deputy Sheriff Goodwin, who held the prisoner by the arm. They stepped onto the platform at 11:04. The Sheriff and the minister taking seats by the prisoner, and the doctors at the lelt HE DIED CLAIMING INNOCENCE. Georce W. Clark, with n,slight tremor in his speech, rose to his feet and said: "1 have nothing to say other than I am innocent of this crime, and I suffer for an other. I hold no grudge against anvone, and hope God will forgive me and all." From this time on Clark was as brave as a lion. X.ess than 50 spectators were crowded in the small inclosure between the walls where the scaffold had been erected. Some of these were in a window of the jail op posite the part, amonz these being lour or five women. Xone of Clark's blood rela tions were present. All on the scaffold knelt while Bev. Mr. Maxwell offered a most fervent prayer. The prisoner kneeling, faced the minister, holding him by the shoulders. Prayer ended, Clark and the Sheriff had a brief conversation, Kev. Maxwell speakins words of encouragement Clark stepped onto the trap at 11:11. The Sheriff drew the black cap, stepped to the left of the prisoner, sprung the trap and the condemned fell 214 feet HIS ENORMOUS 'WEIGHT. The doomed man weighed 220 pounds. A rope of extraordinary strength was made for the occasion by Jacob Bupp, of Allegheny. It was a half-inch hemp rope, saturated with beeswax; was 25 feet long, and cost the county $1 per foot The noose was tied by the manulacturer, and drew so tightly on an experimental sand bag when being tested as to cause some trouble in getting it unfastened. It was tested on a sand bag of 254 pounds weight This makes the 91st hangman's rope made by this man. Clark's great weight saved him all suffer ing, for as he fell with the trap his neck was broken, and only one slight shudder passed over his body. The trap fell at 11:10, and he was pronounced dead 12 minutes atter by thedoctors, one of whom felt his pulse, while the other kept his ear over the heart of the fast dying man. At seven minutes alter the trap tell there was still a good pulse, at eight minutes it was fluttering with the heart beating slowly, at ten minutes the pulse ceased to beat, and exactly at 1122 the heart ceased to beat and the doctors prononnced life extinct AN OVERLAND FUNERAL. The body was turned over to his brother-in-law, J.icob Bowman, ol Masontonn, who was in town. The casket was placed in a covered wagon, drawn by four hones, in charge of George McEldowny and John Bradley, who started with it for Mason town. The remains will be taken to Jacob Bowman's, and the funeral will take place the 27th. The drive to Masontown is 20 miles. Bev. Maxwell will follow in to dav's stage. Two thousand farmers thronged "Waynes burg streets during the day. They came by horse, rig and railroad. About the maddest crowd was that which arrived on the narrow gauge train due at 11a.m. It was behind time and got in just 40 minutes after the execution took place. There was no vio lence around the Court House and the Deputy Sheriffs sworn in for the occasion and armed with broomsticks, kept the crowd well in check. SHE WALKED 14 MILES. There is considerable indignation in the town about the way the executed man's wife was treated. She had been telegraphed for repeatedly to come, but could not on ac count of a very sick child. Finally she con sented, nnd started Monday from near Car michaels, where she had cone Sunday from Masontown, walking all the way to "Waynesburg, a distance of abont 14 miles. She" applied for passage in the hack on the way, in which were two men, a lady and the driver. She was declined because of lack of room. It is a burning shame the poor woman was left to plod her way through the mud to see her husband. She was taken to the Sheriff's house, where an entire change of clothing was civen her, then taken to her husband. The meeting Was affecting. "When she returned Tuesday the county paid her wav across the country on the stage. Zach Tavlor is the next man to suffer for the McCansIand murder. He will be hanged on April 9. He was terribly broken up to day when he took leave of his pard. He heard the drop fall and has not eaten any thing since. HOW WE AKE OBOWISG. The Balldlne Inspector' Report Show a Very Satisfactory Inereme Six and Three-Qanrter Millions Put In Bnlld Inei Last Year Orer 3,000 BnlldW Erected. The Bnilding Inspectors yesterday pre sented their annual report to Chief Brown, of the Deoartment of Public Safety, show ing 3,265 buildings to have been erected in Pittsburg during the past year, of which 1,212 were of brick, 1,937 frame, 49 iron clad, 23 stone and 4 of iroif, at a total valuation of $6,815,622. During the year the amount received for permits was $13,508 95 The increase in the number of buildings over 1888 was 501, and in the amount received for permits 1,887 92. In the estimated cost of buildings the in crease was $1,504,429. In the classification of buildings dwell' ings lead, there being 2,587 of them; there were 137 stibles, 132 kitchens, 118 stores, 113 shops, 31 offices. 20 warehouses, 14 churches, 11 lactones, 9 fouudries, 3 mills, 5 schoolhouses and 6 banks. During the year 73 condemnation notices were sent out and the unsafe bnildings either taken down or repaired. The in spectors give a detailed account of the work done in hunting out defective work and als i of the trouble they have met in breaking up the old-time practice of contractors waiting until a building is about completed and then applying for a permit, instead of put ting in the application before work is begun. The latter is now becoming customary. The subjects of doors opening outward and party walls are also considered. C. L. Brennan, Secretary of the Board on "Wooden Buildings, also presented his re port to Chief Brown. There were 348 ap plications presented for permission to erect within the fire limits lrame or iron-clad buildings during the year. Of these 254 were approved, 84 rejected and 10 not acted upon or withdrawn. Fifty-four permits were issued in 1888. Of the 254 granted but 21 were for dwellings, although frame ad ditions were made to 26 and frame kitchens built to 70. M0EE FUNDS COhLECTED.

That Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, Is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of BrockwHj Centre, Mich.: "Liver complaint and indigestion made my life a burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about. All kinds of food distressed me, and only tbe most delicate could be digested at ait. "Within the time mentioned several Shysicians treated me without giving re ef. Nothing that I took seemed to do any permanent good until I commenced the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results. Soon after commencing to take the Sarsapa rilla I could see an improvement in my condition. My appetite began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength im proved eaoh day, and after a few months of faithful attention to your directions, I found myself a well woman, able to attend to all household duties. The medicine has given me a new lease of life." Ayer's Sarsaparilla, rsEFAnsn et D'. J. C. Ayer & Co., Lowe!!, Mass trice $1 ; six bottles, s- Worth $5 a bottle.
