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.

Indigestion
IS not only a distressing complaint, ot
itself, bat, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en
feebled, is the parent ot innumerable
maladies. 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."

HOEACE.
JUST SO!
And the clothing dealers of this city who are ever "toiling for the good
of the people" by selling goods at a sacrifice (according to their state
ments) excite nothing but ridicule in the minds of all thinking persons.
OUR ARGUMENT IS THIS!
"The Most Fashionable, Best Made, Most Reliable and Dependable
Clothing for Men, Boys and Children is to be found in our store. And
what is more: It is obtainable for less than you think and handsomer
than you have any idea of. Nothing slighted anywhere! Made all
through as only the eminent among custom tailors have notions of mak
ing ! Excellent qualities ! Perfect fit and style 1 Consummate a3 the
best work can make it
While Other Dealers Are Doing Their Utmost
To get rid of their Winter Overcoats, which a mild winter and a dis
criminating public have left on their hands, we are, by reasons of having
had such a phenomenally large business the past season, compelled to
trot out our New Spring Overcoats before tbe old mossback dealers have
shaken off their winter's lethargy. New Spring-Overcoats are nowhere
ready for inspection and sale at prices actually lower than you'll obtain
old-style goods at any other store in this city.
A 3VEAQNIFIOENT DISPLAY
NEW SPRING OVERCOATS.
New Styles ! New Shades ! New Ideas !
In every desirable shape. Long Overcoats, Short Overcoats, Perfect
Fitting Overcoats for all shapes and sizes and lengths and breadths of
men. Everything brand new and we've the backbone to name prices
NOW ACTUALLY BELOW what will be named late in the season by
other dealers. We call particular attention to our
Beautiful Spring Overcoats at $10, $12 and $15.
To see these goods is quite enough to make you wish to wear 'em.
