"fiTswBSSWSfva HAN6HG-B THE WAY, Says 'Squire Bopp, TYho Makes the Kopes-for That Purpose. HE HAS SEEN 3I0EE EXECUTIONS Than Any Other American, and Is Opposed to the Electrical Plan. THE XOOSE THAT SETTLED GUITEAU Xew York's experiment of executing murderers with electricity could not be watched more closely by anyone than it is by 'Squire Bopp, of Allegheny, the maker of 101 hangman's ropes, and himself the witness of T2 executions by hanging with a noose constructed by his own hands. For 40 years he has made the ropes to hang nearly all "Western Pennsylvania's con demned murderers, and so widely has he become known that he considers himself more responsible than any other man for the shedding of blood for blood in the counties where his services are used. He has established himself as a judge of crime, and unless he" believes the man found guilty is deserving the sentence of the law, he has always refused to construct the means of his death. Mr. Bopp is now fiS years old He is as bluff and stern at all times as when giving advice at a hang ing, but while reticent in conversation abo'nt ordinarr affairs, he never tires telling the history of his life or giving an opinion on the best and most humane way of taking life to satisfy law. He clainfs to have at tended more executions than any other man in the Cuited States, and whether from fear of losing his occupation 'or through a feeling of justice, he still thinks, as he said yesterday, that: Thinks Electrocution Is More Cruel. "Hanging is good enough for any man that kills, another. Electrocution is too horrible, too cruel," he continued. "Just think of it! Ugh' "Why, all those fellows that have bpen shocked to death in New York have been burned almost to a crisp. I'm in favor of letting them wait until they get to the next worid to get scorched," said the old 'Squire, with an emphatic pound of his & on a near table." "Kow would vou like to have vonr skin burnt black," he asked with a srhoulish grin. "Wouldn't you sooner have your neck broken without pain, because as I truly believe, there is no pain. The only hancing I have ever witnessed at which! iliink the victim Miflcred was that of an old woman named Mrs. Grinder, who was exe cuted in rittsburg forr-oUoning a family of ihe. She was a terrible creature and had practiced poisoning all the dogs and cats in ihe, neighborhood before murdering hu man beings. "When she went on the plat form to be hung I think every spectator prayed that sht would suffer. She was given a very short drop and after she fell she kicked minutes. I believe the pain that he endared in that time was sent lv God, for heaven knows she deserved it. She was the onlv person I ever saw hanged that I would sooner have seen electrocuted, because in tlist way I believe she would have suficred still more." Referring to the recent dtath of a St "Louis man who clain.ed to have made the rope that hung Guiteau, Mr. Bopp said he wanted to enter a protest aeamst giving that honor to any one except himself. One HoTior Tgliat lie Claims. "I made that rope." said the old man, jumping to his feet, "and the reason I know it i because, according to a picture pub lished in Harper's Weekly, theie were nine turns in the nooe. Xo other rope maker gives more than seven turns and many only three. "There were 14 ropes sent to hang Gui tean, and no one has absolute knowledge that his rope was used The one I made had in it 112 tracd, divided into four di visions as are all hansrmen's ropes. I never received it back and I am almost cer tain thai it was used. Before the hanging I made a proposition through Congressman Bayne to make a silk rope out of four dif ferent colors of material. They were to be red, white and blue, representing the colors of the nation, and green for the Irish. The rope would have been very expensive, and I expected to get mv money out of it by making more tlian was needed and selling the rest to museums, but I could not get as surance that it would be used and therefore did not mate it. I wih now that I had, because when the officials at Washincton had seen what stufi was in it, I think they would have u-ed it. "Gad, what a rope that would have been ! It would almost have cut the villain's neck off and but it is no use talking about that now. The only thing I want is for the world to know that I made the rope that hung Uarnela s slayer. Ropes for the Anarchists. "I had the contract to make the ropes to hang the Chicago anarchists, but I was afraid to do so and threw up the job. It was stated that some old seaman did the vork. His name was never given. I sup pose it will neter be known, and I guess it will be healthier for the man if it is not. "That reminds me," continued Mr. Bopp, "of my experience in Illinois when the Mormons were there. .Iwas making ropes tor the lead mines near Xauvoo, and when ever the lynchers wanted any string tp hoist a Mormon I furnished it. My rope uas used to hang thecleen men at Fort Madison, and God only knows how many others tnat have never been accounted for. "When there I became well acquainted with Brigham Young. He was a wiry, devilish kind ola fellow, and at that time had 20 wires as dirty and despicable as he was. Oae time I saw Young and his 20 wives go in bathing with a lot"ol others in the Miss issippi river. Nineteen of the women had babies with them, and while they were in the warer the childless woman took care ol the kids. They wore very scant bathing co'tumes and seemed to lraie no idea what ever of modesty. "The Mormon-, were hated bv all the other people in the neighborhood, and no wonder, because they did nothing but steal. They would go into a man's field and har vest a crop without any idea of property rights, and if the man didn't like it, the whole tribe would help finish the steaL I met .loseiih Smith once or twice and saw him when he was shot. I saw him give the Masonic sign to saie himself, but he was only a book Mason and every person knew it, so they shonVd no pity. It was justifi able and you can stake "your life that I would never liava made ropes, if they had been found guilty, to hang the men who killed Smith." The Proper Lensth of Drop. After his return from Illinois Mr. Bopp gained his reputation as a maker of bails man's rope-. He always advocates giving a man two and one-half feet drop. His ropes are three-eighths of an inch thick; a smaller size, he claims, will cut the tkin and a larger one will not work through the noose. "It's just like this," said Mr. Boup, as he unlatened a Mnall rope worn around his body as a belt and fastened it around the reporter neck with a hangman's loop. "If the rope doesn't sljj, easy it is liable lo catch and make a botch of the whole busi ness. A three-eighths inch rope will hang a man that weicli50u pounds. I have had but one rope break, and that was because it was strained by being tested too frequent ly. In some counties they never test my ropes. One of them, several years ago, iun two men in one day, and on the same day,"at a hanging in Xew York, three ropes were broken in hanging a colored man. That one hanging where the rope broke wa6 the only one with which I was connected where everything did not go off without ac cident. Of course, all calculations should be made carelully, and where they are I Iiink hanging is more humane than electro cution, or any other manner of execution." Mr. Bopp' receives 525 for each rope made. He was formerly the Alderman in the ward in which he lives, and dealt out justice with as much delight as he made ropes. GROCERS ARE KICKING Against the Vinegar Law Passed by the Last Legislature The Manufactured Article Declared to Be Just a Good as That TVhleli Grows. "Te vinegar law as passed by the last Legislature," said an honest grocer yester day, "has been productive of more sourness among wholesale and retail grocers than was originally intended. The law refers to pure cider sourness only, but has resulted in pure 'cussing sourness as welL Cider vin egar in the makintr costs about 20 cents a gallon, manufactured vinegar costs from 5 to 7 cents and they both retail for 30 cents. Hitherto the dealers have had the privi lege of going on the plan that where ignor ance is bliss 'tis folly for the customer to be wise and have been at liberty to brand all viigars 'pure cider.' But the law has come to the protection of the unsus pecting, innocent customer and commands the dealers to label as 'cider vinegar only such as can truthfully claim apples as its antecedents. As a consequence some manu facturers are busy concocting schemes whereby the red "tape injunction may be obeyed, yet the more cheaply manufactured vinegar still have a fair show. They de clare that it is not made of old paper collars, rain water and an occasional rubber shoe as has been affirmed bv the enemies, but is the result of peculiar assimilation on the part of non-harmful acids and chemi cals. They further state that the law was the result of grasping farmers who desire more of a market for their apples, but who were not far reaching enough to kill by any means the manufactured vinegar. "Cider vinegar requires two years in the making, while the chemical is ready for the market in 2-t hours. The old-fashioned way of making vinegar and the one we still use ifrsimply to take the cider and put it in casks with the bunghole open. Let it re main there two years and then rack it off until it is pure and clean and it is ready for use. "We had a rather amusing and de cidedly expensive incident occur yesterday with our vinegar. Our delivery horses were fastened under the warehouse in which we keep the casks, and when one of the drivers went out there he found two of them boat ing in vinegar. One of the casks had burst its hoops, and its contents, 120 gallons of 30-cent vinegar, had deluged them." MAKING THE CEOSSLHG SAFE. Superintendent Starr Makes a Chance Be cause of Sewickley's Hast Fatality. The Fort "Wayne Bailroad, by way of a Christmas gift to its Sewickley patrons, has made a change in the station crossing, which is likely io make it less dangerous. There is a low -fence between the tracks at the Sewickley station, pierced at two points, one opening being a little above the station house door and the other below. It is al leged with some reason that the upper cross ing has been inconvenient and dangerous "because ifisnot "directly opposite the door of the waiting room, and the latest fatality may have been contributed to by this defect. Sow a third opening has been made through the fence and a planked crossing laid immediately at the foot of the steps from the waiting room. It is the general opinion among many Sewicklcyans still that the whole fence is a deathtrap and should be removed. Upon this point Mr. Arthur B. Starr, the superintendent of the Pittsburg division, has well-defined views. Mr. Starr said to a representative of The Dispatch on Thursday: "The new cross ing has been laid because a good many people want it. The fence will not be removed, as we think it is a safeguard for the public If the fence were not there people would not use the regular planked crossings, bnt would cross the tracks auywh"re, and wonld be more than likely to stumble upon the rough ballast Without the fence I believe accidents would be njnltiplied greatly. "We cannot lay planks over the entire space between the platforms, as it is well known that such planking is dangerous to trains in passing, for wheels in use wear down and sooner or later are bound to impinge upon the boards, -thus leading to derailment. At Sewickley, as with other stations upon my division, we are hampered by the fact that what we do now can only be temporary. You see we are working toward a tour-track road, and when our plans are carried out, the problem of safe crossings at stations will be solved, for the two passenger tracks will be next the hill side all the way down, and the up platform will lie between the passenger tracks and the freight tracks. The present rule of not allowing one passengertrain to pass antther that is standing at a station will then ex-, elude the greatest danger to life at station crossings. Till the four tracks are com pleted, the bridge and crossings at Sewick ley are the best we can do. a Neither Llslits Nor Policemen. Ex-Councilman Martin Frank entered a protest last night because there were neither electric lights nor policemen on Browns ville avenue and Allentown. The lights on Carson street could be seen 'twinkling in the distance, but on the hill there was com plete darkness. Mr. Frank says this is get ting to be a regular feature, due about every other night, and that no explanation can be obtained.

All the Charitable Institutions Visited by 6nsk8 Santa Claus, BRINGING JOY TO THOUSANDS. Complete and Graphic Details of a Most Delightful Tour. The tittle Ones Especially Greet the Ap pearance of Their "Welcome Visitors "Wiyi Every Manifestation or Delight The Annual Christmas Treat ot a Great Firm. Santa Claus visited all of the charitable institutions in Pittsburg and Allegheny yesterday, leaving toys and presents for everyone. Santa Claus was very real-to the little folk, but all who could under stand knew that kind-hearted Mrs. Gusky was the Santa Claus who sent them their beautiful gifts. None were slighted, nor was there anything but joy in the hearts of the little folk. It was 9 o'clo'ck sharp when the waiting crowds around GusMy's store, at Third and Market street, saw Santa Claus walk out of the big doors nd, with stately mien, seat himself in a big barouche drawn by six horses. Had he stepped out of the child's picture book be could not have been nearer to the youthful ideal, and at every step his bells made merry music 'Mrs. Gusky was unable to attend, "but her brothers, Messrs. William and Levi De Wolf, took charge of the arrangements. There were 16 carriages following the barouche, filled with those who considered it more blessed to make the children of the two cities happy on this festive occasion, than to spend the day in idle amusement Gray-haired men and women, and handsome maids and young men made up tire party. Forty large wagons, gay with bunting and evergreen, and filled "to the brim with useful and pretty presents came next, so that the caravan of Santa Claus stretched out like a long procession from the store, far up toward the Sixth street bridge. Boys ran after the barouche, and called upon Santa Clans to throw them a present, which he occasionally did, throwing them a handful of candy. The entire procession drove first to the Ridge Avenue Orphan Asylum in Alle gheny, where the little ones were not only ready but anxiously awaiting the arrival of Kris Erinklc When he came in the chil dren sang a pretty Christmas carol, and then the Kev. C. B. Donehue, of the West End Presbyterian Church, whom Mr. De Wolf had asked to assist, spoke to the chil dren. In the meantime two of the large drays had been unloaded and the goods car ried into the reception room. There was a present lor every little one, and as wrap pers were torn away a great chorus ofoVs and ah's made everyone in the party feel happy. Coffee and a light lunch had been pro vided for the party, and while they were lunching the noise coming from the play room announced that the children were en joying themselves. -At this point the party divided into two sections, the one going back to the Pittsburg side, the other continu ing in Allegheny. The Colored Orphans' Home on Glenwood avenue was the second place to be visited in, Allegheny. Here the little tots dressed in best "bib and tucker were found in the school room ready to see their friends. A number of song's were sung, not only with vigor, but with great skill, and then every tot was given something which will make them long for the return of Christmas and their friends the Guskys: The Women's Christian Home, on Locust street, was next visited, and here every inmate, both old and young, received a present The large orphan home of the United Presbyterian Church on Monterey street was the next place visited, and here scenes similar to those in the other institutions occuned. Every one was happy, and the joy of the children as present after present was shown them ex ceeded all hounds. The two Dorcas Day nurseries on Nixon street and North avenue were also visited, and the children who had assembled at their usual daily home were given something to remind them that Christmas was indeed a time of pleasure and happiness. The Allegheny Day Nursery was not forgetten, and here the children were provided with presents and good things. The Allegheny General Hospital was reached at 2:30, and as Santa Claus followed by his good natured train walked through the wards where the sick and suffering lay, lead by a wee sufferer, there was not a face bnt lit up with pleasure, and memory long dormant burst into new life, and made them all children again. Here another large wagon load of presents was unloaded, and the party lelt for the Protestant Boys' Home .on Anderson street The boys were wait ing tor banta uiaus, ana welcomed him with a shout such as only a healthy, enthu siastic youngster can utter. They crowded around the presents and showed their preciation oy cries or giee as tney un fastened boxes of tools and other things dear to the hearts of hovs. At the Home of the Friendless on Washington street - the children went through some pretty exercises before the presents were distributed. The house of the Little Sisters of the Poor was the next place to which the procession, now growing weary after its hard day's work, wended its way. Here the old ladies, almost children for a second "time, were seated in their dining room awaiting Santa Claus. A number of sweet faced, black habited sisters and a few nuns flitted amongst them, while Father Wall, of the Cathedral, and two Benedictine priests made the visitors welcome. Two or three of the old ladies insisted on dancing a jig with Santa Claus, and for, a few minutes they forgot their years and danced like young girls. Useful gifts were then given to all, and many warm skirts and dresses were provided them for the winter which seems never to intend coming. The department of the men was then visited. Here one old gentleman insisted on playing a flute, until nearly everyone was deafened, but he enjoyed it, and the rest of the party were happy. Jackets and everything else that the oldmen could de sire was furnished them, and when the Sisters, who seemed happier than the recip ients of the presents, had bidden all goodby, the line of march was taken up to the Home of the Good Shepherd on Troy Hill. Here presents for children, inmates and novices were left, while the sweet iaced Sisters in their snowy garb flitted about looking out for the cotnlort of the visitors. An Augustinian in the habit of his order was also present, and seemed to be filled with happiness because of the little ones' joy. But at St Joseph's Orphan Asylum, near the Home of the Good Shepherd, the chil dren outdid themselves. Their theater, i with lis pretty little stage, was crowded with the children and their friends, while an attractive programme was given by the orphans. A. Christmas song in German opened the programme, after which there was a drama in one act The motion song, "We Are Happy," sang by a number of little boys, came next Then came "Dumb John," a German farce, and "Mary Ann,-" a light American comedy. They then all sang "Good Night," which , concluded the performance. Kris Krinkle had been seated in a large arm chair, and at the con clusion with the willing aid of the boys he clambered upon the stage, and danced energetically "for some time, much to the children's amusement Then the presents were unpacked, and soon the Sisters were busy keeping the children in order. A bountiful supper was then served the entire party in the refectory of the Home, and the weary dispensers of presents and Christmas cheer went home. The Pittsburg division went first to St M'chael's Orphan Home on the Southside, then to the Homeopathic .Hospital, then to the Children's Temporary Home, then to the St Paul's Orphan Asylum on Tannehill street, where several of the diocesan officials met the benefactors ot THE FlTTSBTTRG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, the children. From here the procession wended its way up to the West Penn Hos pital, then to the Episcopal Church Home on Fortieth street, then to the house of the Little Sisters ol" the Poor, Bloomfield street, the German Protestant Orphan Asy lum and to the Children's Aid Society. At all these points scenes similar to the other institutions occurred. Mr. De Wolf expressed himself well pleased with the day's work, and, although worn out by the tedious task, said it made him feel very happy to -see the children so well contented with "their presents, as well as the old persons at the Little Sisters of the Poor and Women's Home.' GAME IK COLO WEATHEB. Little Demand for Venison, Quail or Pheasants on Warm Bays. "Game is essentially a cold weather food," said Hans Douglass, the steward at the Duquesne, yesterday. "There is little call ibr quail or venison on warm, soggy days. I don't know why it is, but the cold weather makes the appetite sharp and then people want the best. Quail were very plentiful this season. At one time they sold for $1 25 per dozen, and you can buy them now for $3 25. Pheasants bring from 57 to 8 per dozen. The recent decision of the Supreme Court that , the Pennsylvania laws do not apply to game shipped from other States will give the hotels and dealers a chance to furnish these delicacies after the alotted period in this State. "Great quantities of quail come from Southern Illinois, where professional hunters make it a business to bag them. I remember when going to New Orleans one winter on a towboat, we stopped near Padu cah. The natives were oflenng quail for 25 cents a dozen, and finally'gave them away for nothing. Greene county is good hunt ing ground. The farmers down there kill the game, and sell it cheap to peddlers to get rid of it. In turn these fellows ship it to the Pittsburg market" How many murmur at high prices! Why, Salvation Oil coits only 25 cents a bottle. Mns.
