OoikU received and returned by Express, i Husband Carelessly leave Be-volver upoB Table -Hie Wife Throws it npon tne floor and It lHorharged, Wounding ner Seriously, A narrow escape from from death by the careless handling of fire-arms, occurred in this city on Thursday evening. John H. Brooks, private watchman employed by Elwangur Barry, and who resides near their nursery, cleaned his revolver on Thursday evening about 8 o'clock, and left it upon a table, while he went up stairs to change his coat. There was cloth upon the table and the weapon was partially hid from sight by it.

His wife entered the room and proceeded to clear the table. She pulled off the cloth and with it come tbe revolver. In its fall it struck a lounge and was discharged. The ball struck Mrs. Brooks in tbe abdomen sersously wounding her.

Medical aid was summoned, but though probed for, the ball cound not lie found. The wound, though serious, is not Chnrchvlllellcme. Correspondence Democrat and Chronicle. Chchchvillk, Feb. 11th, 1H76.

A few days since a farmer by tbe name of John Arnusbury, living in tbe south part of the town otiliga, was thrown from a load of wood, and striking upon a frozen piece of earth, his ankle gave way and bending to one side broke the lower end of the small bona, and producing a sprain the join'i whi'h may lie more serious thau even a break of both bones. News came that Dr. Gage, an old citisen of this village, had died yesterday in tbe town of Benton, where, a few weeks since, he went to visit some frieiuls he had livbig in that town. The donation of Rev. G.

A. Rawson, of the Congregational church, that was to be given last Wednesday evening, was postponed one week, on account of the severity of the storm. Last evening the citisens of this village were treated with a concert, that, for a wonder, was one of more than ordinary ability. The cheapest and most insignificant shows and singers visit towns like this for the most part, and when performers of ability as those of tast evening do make a stop, we are weU prepareif to appreciate tbeir merits. Mr, and Mrs.

8. L. Howell, with Miss Effie Elmore and E. J. Lockhart, gave a vocal and instrumental entertauiment that was well worthy of bearing, and deserving the patronage of any people where they may perform.

The execution by Mr. Howell of the most difficult pieces on tbe violin, especially Spohr's Concerto," shows that he is complete master of the "fidille and the bow," and tbe only regret of the audience is that the piece is so short. Mr. Lockhart, although young, seems to be an old hand at the piano, while the singing by the ladies prove a very interesting part of the programme. The ladies sociable and mite of the t'niversalist church meet this evening at Sprague's hotel.

Committee. So far as the merits of the Female Charita ble society are concerned, there need nothing be said, as everybody who takes an interest in the welfare and prosperity of the city cannot fail to recognise the fact that this association is one of the most meritorious and efficient branches of the charitable department. The suffering reUcved by its timely hand is not easily calculated, and every possible means should be placed at its disposal to carry on tiie good work. Our citisens need no encour agement to donate lilierally toward this pro ject, andjwe are confident no one will refuse to respond to the call lor help, as its wortny object and aim is so well understood. The Longest War Round.

Yesterday the Atlantic Exprens train on the Falls road due here at 4 p. m. was stopped at Lockport liy the announcement that a culvert hail been washed away about eight miles this side of the city. The locomotive was run upon the turntable by order of Conductor Donnelly and headed the other way. Tbe seats in the cars were reversed and at a few minutes past 3 o'clock the passengers found themselves flying towards Tona-wanda at a fearful of speed.

From Tonawanda they sped to East Buffalo and were there switched upon the Buffalo road and bowled rapidly along to Batavia. From the latter place to Churchville, a distance of twenty -one miles, the run was made in twenty minutes, and the ctty would have been reach ed in proportionately quick time but for the fact that the train was stonned hv a hot inur. tidl When lJ. it AiA "r.h -If it was only one hour and forty minutes late. Uuder the circumstances it is certain that the longest way round was the surest way home.

Opera House, One of the largest audiences of the week gathered at the pera house last evening to witness the performance of Damon and I ythias," with Joseph Proctor as Damon and Mark Bates as I'ylhias. Mr. Proctor's Damon was a very fine piece of acting, but the duali ties of iir. Proctor have been so often tested that it was nothing more than was expected ox nun. Mark Mates as I'ylhiav, was as usual, excellent.

Mr. Butee is always pains taking and nlways successful, but his performance last evening as one of his ablest efforts: in deed, be seemed to make a great hit in the character. Hitherto, we believe, he has gen-- erally played Damon, and it is said one of his most really artistic impersonations. The sup port oi the company was generally erood Tbis afternoon the matinee is to take place as usual, the romantic play entitled "Ambition," is to lie produced. In the evening.

Not long sbice the Courier company of Buffalo, began the publication of the Evening Republic and sold it upon the streets at the extremely low price of two cents. The Re public, contained the lutt telegrams and local together with full aud complete market reports and at once was established as a great favorite with the Buffalo people.

Hince then the Courier company have extended the sale of the Republic out into tbe surrounding towns and cities, where it has met with much favor. It is now their intention to introduce it in this city and John llaiitliy, news agent at the Central depot, will have charge of the sale here. The Republic will arrive here at an advantageous hour and will probably give good satisfaction. F. C.

The recent mild weather has ailnrll unusual opportunities for comparing tbe new North-river Blue paving-stone with others in oka Thtirsilnv evening tbis stone was free from Ice and snow, while Medina and other stones were in a slippery and dangerous condition. The warm and non-conducting qualities of the stone are such that snow and ice will not remain so long and are more easily removed from its surface than any other stone.

This fact may be proved by a visit to Meigs street, where the North-river stone is laid from Park to Monroe avenues; also on Lake avenue and in front of Scan li McCarthy's, corner Water and East Main streets; and other points. This is an important consideration in laying new walks. Besides this, It has a peculiar grit, which in any weather prevents it becoming slippery. It is cheaper than any other stone offered in this market. It is sawed, planed, rub- and moulded by machinery, suit- able for Sills, l.mtels.Hteps, Copings.

Carriago-blocks, Hitehing-posts, etc. Parties contemplating laying private or street walks are invited to give us a call and see our references and examine work for themselves. It is the cheapest, and in all respects the liest stone ever placed on this market. Williams Exchange street, near swing bridge, are the sole agents for this city. Lane's Hydraulic At tlie plumbing establishment of Charles S.

Siddons, on East Main street, and also at the store of E. S. Phelps, can be seen one of those admirable inventions, the Lane hydraulic motor. It is impossible to describe the wonderful invention completely. It must lie seen and its workings examined.

It is designed to be run by city water and ia as light, compact and powerful a machine as was ever invented. It is just the thing for light manufacturing purposes, for tbe labratory, the dentist's office, the ladies' sewing-room, for running any kind of a sewing-machine and ornaments a parlor as well as any other mechanical invention can. A pedal controls the flow of water and hence graduates the speed to any power desired. G. F.

Haight is tbe general agent, who will be pleased to show the machine and explain its workings to all. The cost of runuiug it is too trifling to mention, as the stream which affords the power is very small iudeed, Vpon a sewing-machine it is especially fine, giving no drip and producing no moisture to stain tbe most delicate fabric. By all means go to E. S. Phelps's, number 4 East Main street, and examine this wonder.

IilB roue under command of Chief Davis, arrived about o'clock and took up their positions, Linsday requested the sheriff to allow several of his friends to remain with him until all waa over.

The request was granted. FAREWELL AND FOREVER. Alwut 10 o'clock Sheriff Cossitt walked up where Lindsay and his friends were seatetl, and told them that the time had come to tako last farewell. That parting scene vividly recalled the memory of the day when John Clark's wife was borne from the condemned cell of tbe Rochester jail, moaning piteously, "It's too bad, it's too bad; I can't bear it." There were sobs and cries of distress, while the tears flowed fast and unchecked. Linilsay stooa it wen, ana wnen ms wire and daughter were borne away he turned and seemed to look into the future, while a great sigh came up and sounded like the breaking of a heart.

He then pifpared himself for THE EXECUTION. Clothed in black throughout, and bearing npon the left lappel of his coat a boquot of geranium leaves and immortelles, be came from the little cell where be had passed the last nineteen months of his life. He seated himself and rose again while the sheriff slowly read THE HEATH WARRANT. The prisoner hung his bead, but to listen intently. Hi frienils were then gathered, a double line of deputy sheriffs was formed, bis arms were pinioned and then the MARCH TO THE SCAFFOLD began.

He walked between Superintendent Williams and Deputy-superintendent Spauld-ing, whom he had requested to attend him. A CORDON Or POLICE was formed around the scaffold. Linsday walked with a firm slow step, with his eyes upon the ground. He was evidently forcing bis nerve for the occasion, and he did it well. The rope hung there swinging in the wind, the rain fell heavily and the fitful guste of wind blew the umbrellas about Uke paper.

It was a wild tragic scene, such as is seldom witnessed. The prisoner did not raise his eyes from the ground, nor did he turn about until a band was laid upon his shoulder. He was nervous, but there was no evident desire npon his part to conceal his emotions, to ap pear cool anil calm to those eager eyes around him. The tell-tale twitching of the finger and the lips together with the heavy and frequent sighs told the story, however. The noose was I placed ABOUT HIS! KECK and fixed in position.

He seemed to shrink i from contact with it and turned his head as he would escape its cold touch. A prayer was then read by the Rev. Mr. Manning, amid, a solemn stiUness. Then the hi- fare- wells were taken of Owen Linsday.

On be-uig asked by Sheriff Cossitt if he hmi any- I thing to say, Lindsday replied with a nod of assent. i THE SCAFFOLD SPKECH. He said, in a clear, firm voice and looking i those around him full in the face, I am iu-nocent, gentlemen, of this crime. I know nothmg of this matter whatever. I never had a lisp said to me in regard to it in the world.

I am as innocent of this crime as any man in this company. I am innocent before man and God." He cast his eyes again upon the ground and then the ir- BLACK CAP was drawn over his head. AU moved back and Owen Linsday stood alone upon the center of tbe platform, tbe black cap upon his bead tbe rope around his neck. A man then then stepped forward and with a sharp knife severed the cord which held up tbe weight, and then the body of Owen Linsday was jerked from the platform and hurled upwards. It eU back with a harsh sound of the tightening rope.

The fatal drop feU at minutes after 10. His neck was broken and he died easily, there being but few convulsions and those very light. At 10:53 the physician said HE WAS DEAD. The body was taken down and the black cap was removed. The face was very pale, tbe eye staring out in a vacant way.

It was a terribly unnatural look. The remains were placed in an elegant rosewood-stained iron burial-case, bearing a plate inscribed as follows: OWFN I.TNSPAY, Horn May Kith, ts.ll, IHed February lllh. and removed. It was stated that they would be taken' to Baldwinsviile, the plan to plaoe them in the Oakwood vault having been abandoned. While the body was suspended several pieces of the rope attached to -the weight were cut off, and it is probable that the body would have been cut down by the seekers after relics, in the efforts to get rope, if a deputy had not ordered them to desist.

During the entire execution a mob of several hundred were without the walls, striving by every means to get a glimpse of the interior of the walls. They got a ladder and scaled the roof of the workshops, but when the roof had become fill- ed two poheemen ascended another laddor and charged them. 1 hat roof was cleared in a lively manner. A platoon of police also charged upon those about the walls and drove them back. The crowd bngered for a long time in the drenching storm.

Several young men were engaged without the walls in selling the printed pamphlet, containing a verbatim report of the trial, but they met with poor success. AH IXyi'KST closed tbe ceremony. The verdict gives a brief resume of the principal facts of the case, and we publish it as follows: state of Kw York, Onoiidagx, the sheriff of the county of OmmdaRa and the other public ofiloers and persons whose nstnes are hereto subscrilted, do certify that Owen Liiisday, who was sentenced by the court of oyer and terminer held in and for the county of Onondaga, on the 5th day of February' to lie executed on the day of March, and the said Ovreu Linsday hav-injr appealed from said judgment of the oyer and terminer to the (reuera! term of the supreme court, and the said general term having affirmed the judgment of the oyer and terminer on the itu day of June. and the said general term on the loth day of June, 1M75. sentenced the said Owen Linsday to be executed on the day of July, lHTo, and tbe said Owen Linsday having appealed from said judgment of the general term to the court of appeals, and the said court of appeals having, on the ltli day of November.

It is termed his theory of the crime and simply reiterates the old story of his innocence and that Vadcr would confess if bis counsel and friends would allow him to do so.

The number of birds wanted is or 12,000, and the best bargain offered was from a gentleman in Michigan, who offered to furnish the nam ber required at two dollars per dozen and take all tlie dead birds scored at one dollar ner dos en. Tbis may seem like a great many birds and a great prim to pay, but these men make a business of trapping them, and it is as easy for them to furninh 10,000 as one dozen, and no doubt they could easily dispose of every bird in toe market at as good prices.

in New York. It is understood that politics is the reason for tbe delay in the transmission of the report of the canul commission to the legislature; and Confessedly the "squeeiw" by tlie legislature of the commission is the check political movement. The legislature really needs the report of tbe commission if it contains any information and sustains the averments which were made in the governor's message in respect to the corruption and fraud in canal management. For if such fraud is possible under present laws and system, it is the duty of the legislature to furnish remedies for such defects in laws. Tbe body cannot do this ithout it bas the same full information as to the transactions that the commission is reported to have come in possession of.

TILDKS'S POSITION. We bear plenty of assertions at present, just as we did last winter, regarding Tilden I ou Bwuuiug sense, xney come lummy trom uemocraw, who have been disgusted by Tilden 's com- ing to the front and his antagonism to them. Last year they said that he had softening of the brain, or something equaly bad: that he was paralysed and they knew it; that be was played oat. Now, they know he is. Jerry McGuire has been here anil shown his continued love and respect for the governor.

Jerry claims to be a prophet; that he told Kelly long time ago that Tilden would lead to rum. Once Kelly thought that Jerry wasen-j tirely mistaken, but now he concedes to MeGuire that he makes a good point. Events, however, show that there is some doubt on this point. Perhaps there is a mistake. Kelly was beaten 2or0(Hj in New York, while Tilden carried it by There is a ballance of in favor of Tilden.

This looks as though Kelly was the coming Jonah. THE COMINU MAX. It is conceded that there is much ferment in the Democracy in the state. There is dissatisfaction in many quarters with Tilden. There is talk that be can not maintain his position.

Just so it as talked by the same Democrats last winter. Tilden did maintain himself and won in tbe contests through the summer. Ferbas he left more ranking wounds than there were liefore, but his prestige in the party is as gri st as it was before the last campaign in this state. He is reinforced by the new men who have come mto office. Is be going to fail! The failure of Tilden implies the success of another, the formation of a combination to overthrow him.

Who is the leader that will step out and become the champion of tbe disaffected elements in tbe party and organise them into shape f.ir the inevitable struggle! No one can suppose that Tilden will abdicate or surrender.The way in which he resisted Joe Warren in 1H74 Is some indication of his temper. I regard one thing as well settled that Tilden has really more resolution, more pluck, more persistence than any Democratic leader in the state for many years. He is astute in planning and adroit in the execution of plans. He has great resources as a politician in the party. He has ample means fur making a canvass against any rivals.

Who is tbe man in tlie party that will venture to throw down the gauntlet to Tilden and undertake to throw bimf As Tildes is in and means to stay there it will take courage, great resources, estimation among the Democracy and endurance to oust him from his vantage ground. Is the coming man Church, or Seymour, or Hoffman, or Kelly, or McGuire If none of these, where is the coming man In spite of all that Democrats say against 1 uden, I cannot see that he is not tbe master of the situation in the party and will not continue to be. The party will accept him again just as it did ill 17-1 and 1S7-1. Ko man bas been a leader, in either political party in the state, for many years without a vigorous kicking against him in the party. As to Tilden's strength ith the people, that is quite another matter.

He is said himself to be quite confident that he never stood so well with them as he does to-day. Very different opinions are held by other persons. Only waits can show who is right upon this point. a little gamk rkatkjv In tbe senate tbis morning Mr. Bradley offered a motion to send the resolutions concerning the auditor of the canal department which were adopted yesterday, to the governor.

The intent of such action or the necessity tit it was not clearly stated, but tbe motive was so plain that the senate bad no doubt, and Mr. Rogers in a few sharp sentenees showed how the Democrats had shifted their position in a couple of days, and then sent the motion to the table. This must be a disappointment to tbe governor, who is believed to have a message all ready to send to the senate upc.n the subject. It is a case of bottling up," and is as neatly dune as any other on record. ketrknchmext is the asskmhlt.

Mr. Ingalis called up bis resolution in the. assembly that authorised the appointment of a select committee to investigate tbe civil service of the state, compare expenditures with those before the war and report what redav tions may be made. After some debate and the rejection of a resolution to refer so much of the matter as pertains to the judiciary to the committee of tbe judiciary. The resolution went to tbe committee on iuternal affairs.

This was rather an extinguisher on the ambition of Mr. Ingails to make a name as a re-trencher. In no debate yet has the fact been stated that the salaries of clerks and employes in state departments were increased duruig the war and for several years thereafter by a bill knowu as the additional compensation bill." In 1873 the legislature thought the time bad come for reducing such increased salaries and the bill was not passed at that session and has not been enacted since. LHUISLATIVi; APPOBTKWMKXT. Tbe committee on tbe districting of the state for future legislature has not yet progressed so far as to consider the apportionment of members from either house.

The first subject which engaged their attention, and with which they are dealing at present, is the exaggeration by the state census of the voting population in the city of New York. A comparison of the state census with the national census of 1HT0 develops some very singular results and excites the inquiry how is this thus!" The committee promise to go into tbis investigation just as thoroughly as possible. It may be several weeks before tbe filial conclusion is reached and the apportionment bill is matured.

This announcement was so sudden and unexpected that it made a profound Impression, as soon as it became known, niid the circles where the judge was accustomed to move, and his former associates and friends gathered in bale companies here and there and sadly commented upon the melancholy event.

Rarely has it been the case that the death of any citisen of Rochester produced such a shock Tor created such a general state of sadness as that we record this morning. The event occurred in Greensboro, GeorSu whither Judge Warner went about a month since, accompanied by his family, to spend the winter, tt taTl-een a habit of his to go south every winter for a number of years, for tlie sake of benefitting and protecting the health of his daughter. remains of the deceased will be nm-th to this city for interment. Horatio (J. Warner was born in Columbia county, in the year 1S01, and was therefore about seventv-five years of age at the time of his death.

At an early age he removed to lima, in Ijvingston county, where, when grown to young manhood, lie began the study of law. Having been admitted the bar, he went to Madison county and began practice. So successful was Mr. Warner in the prosecution of his profession that he soon acquired a wide and enviable reputation, both as counsellor and advocate. It was while residing in Madison county that he was appointed judge of common pleas by which he gained the title of distinction which ever afterwards remained with him.

Returning after a lapse of years to this city be began tne practice offlaw here, taking partnership with him in the business the well known lawyer Dekw Wentworth. The law he dropped for a while and published the Advertiser, afterwards consolidated with the Tnion. It was about toe year 1S40 that Judge Warner returned to Rochester from Madison county. He Uved at that time in a small white bouse nearly opposite Mt. Hope entrance, a short distance this side of the site the fine residence he has of late years occupied.

The death of a brother in California summoned the judge to that then very distant state. The brother was possessed of a very large amount of wealth, and Judge Warner spent the greater part of two years CaJi-fornio, occupied in settling up the estate. The brothers and sisters, among whom was the judge, inherited the property, giving each one mdependence. Having returned to Rochester, Judge Warner built the Urge stone mansion where he resided until bis death. He laid out and improved the extensive grounds surrounding this house opposite Mt.

Hope and made it one of the most beauti ful places in Rochester. riince that time the deceased had not engaged in the active practice of his profession, but occupied his time in looking after his fortune. He was for several years president of the old Bank of Rochester. He was at one time one of the trustees of the East Side saving bank, and was its attorney for many years. At the close of the "war of the rebellion Judge Warner wentJ south and purchased a large plantation near Greensboro, Georgia, where he died yesterday.

A portion of his family have resided on the plantation ever since its purchase. Judge Warner, however, continued his residence here and identified himself with the best interests of the city and sought to promote its advancement every way he could. He as appointed one of the board of regents of the university the state, and took great pride in duties demanded of him in his office. He had been all his life long a close student, and was possessed of a large fund of varied and useful information. As a public speaker he was ready and eloquent, and his remarks were always characterised by a moral earnestness which gave them efficiency and force.

His was a characfer of sterling, unimpeachable integrity, and bis life was one of the utmost parity and honesty of purpose. As above stated, Judge Warner went south about a month since in company with his son and daughter. The health of ce latter was quite delicate, and it was hoped the balmy air and steady temperature of the scat hern te.te would prove buae-fieial to her. The judge was, however, to all appearance in perfect health. Nothing was beard of sickness or ill health from him by his friends here until the telegram was received yesterday, making the announcement of his sudden dec-ease.

The cause of death was not stated. The remains of the deceased will at one start for the north, and will reach the city some time in the middle of next week it is expected. The deceased and family were mem bers oi the unitarian church. Court of Session. In the court of sessions yesterday the case of Horace J.

Green, indicted for wilfully and corruptly omitting to execute a warrant against an offender while constable of the town of Rush, was tried. The statute provides that sut-b. misdemeanor, if proven against an ofK.er, shall be punishable by imprisonment not to exceed one yaar, or by a fine of $1,000, or both; be shall also be disqualified for holding any office of trust, honor or profit under the laws of this state. The facts of the case are these: A man named Lang claims that on last Thanksgiving day one Yerst Day assaulted him at the farm of Mr. Ely in the town of Rush.

Very earlj next morning, with a warrant issued by Justice Gallentine, he' went to Green's house and directed him to serve the process upon Day. Green was reluctant to take the warrant, but was finally induced nnaiiy After he had eaten his breakfast i to do so. be went to Ely's, where Day had been employed, expecting to find him there. When he arrived he was told that the man he was looking for bad gone in his working clothes to visit some relatives a few miles away. It was claimed or the part of the prosecution that Ely old Green that Day had just past down and that if he would hurry he would.

iiKi take him. It was also clai -nM r. jet going down the road a piy rt a ae turned back and returned hri! -n-'j looking further for the culprit; that f. mo is also a justice of the peace, aocompo. jd by Lang, went to Green and demanded the warrant, but Green refused to give it up.

On the part of the defense it was claimed that Green went to the two places where Day was moet likely to have been, and thinking that heweuld return at mght tor his clothes and hA l.t titan able to capture him. It was shown that the clothes were taken away that night or soon after. It was moreover churned on the part of the defense that when Ely and Lang demanded the warrant from Green that he gave it up: that Lang kept it in his pocket until the next day and then went to West Rush in quest of a deputy-sheriff. Not being able to find such an individual he went to another quarter of the town and secured the services of a constable. The prosecution was conducted by Assistant District-attorney McDonald and W.

K. Townsend appeared for Green. The judge charged the jury as to the law only. The jury were out about twenty minutes and returned bringing a verdict of not guilty. The trial of Evarts, indicted for abduction was next taken up, and will probably be continued Monday, to which time the court adjourned.

Hoar 4 of rablle Work. Tbe commissioners of public works, at their meeting yesterday, adopted the first ordinance for a plank walk on Hickory street, north side, from Mt. Hope avenue to Ashland street; plank walk from old to new city line: plank walk on Gibbs street, east side, from Selden street to the north tine of land owned by Dr. Whitbeck.

Some time ago a young colored lady wanted to buy a silver open faced watch, and to acoompusb her object in the cheapest and most economical manner possible went to the pawn-brokers offloe of Wesley Wheeler, taking ith her as companions and advisers her bust and two others. While the ladies were looking over the watches the gentlemen beguiled the time in examining the stock of revolvers, when suddenly one of them discovered among the pistols one which bad been stoh-n from bim a short time before.

The Funeral March Scenes About the ScaffoldSurprising Coolness Under Desperate Circumstances. The Last Sad Scene- Linsday Asserts llis Innocence With Hts Ijtht Words The Catting: of the Kope Death. Owen Linsday yesterday died upon the gallows in the court yard of the Onondaga county penitentiary, for the murder of Francis C'vlvin, on the l'Jth of December, 1873. In issue of yesterday we published a full and complete account of the murder, the murderer, the trial and the sentence. The facts were thus made known to the public and a second statement of them is unnecessary.

Now we have to do only with the last night and day the unfortunate man's life. THURSDAY AFTF.RNOOX a busy time about the prison. There were hundreds of people who called there that they migbtindulge their curiosity by a glimpse the murderer and the scaffold unon which he was to be executed. Yery few of them, however, were allowed to enter the prison, much less to the prisoner or the life destroying apparatus in the yard within. Refused admission at door they andered about the place, as if attracted by some invisible power to gaze upon the rough and gloomy walls.

The few that went inside were allowed to pass out upon the yard or glance into the hallway where Linsday and his friends were engaged in earnest conversation. His wife and daughter were with him all the time as they have been during these last dreary days. ANOTHER DKXIATfe At half past 6 Mr. Williams, superintendent the prison, went to Linsday and the following conversation occurred: Mr. Williams Linsday, I want to ask a favor of you, and one that is due both to my wife and myself, and that is, as there is no possible hope for you and you mnst die tomorrow, I want you to tell me if you are guilty of murder.

Linsday burst into tears, and for some time was too much effected to speak, but finally recovering himself, and placing his hand William's shoulder, said: "For God's sake, Mr. Williams, do me the justict to believe what I have told you again and again. I have never told you a lie about this matter; I am as innocent of this crime as you are," Subsequently Linsday said that he could forgive Yader, for he was naturally truthful, but in this case he has been influenced by three four men, and theyiept sending Yader's wife to see him, in order to keep him telling the fatal story. Superintendent Williams asked him if he had any objections to telling the names of those men, and Linsday said he had not, and should inform the reporters of their names be fore he died. He did not, however.

Superintendent Williams told him that one thing which surprised the people was the fact that he advanced no theory as to the murder. Linsday interrupted him by saying, "What theory can I advance, knowing nothing of the murder?" Shortly after 7 p. m. his wife and child said good-night and retired to the rooms which had been kindly assigned them in the building. Their farewell good-night was a sad, very sad affair.

Soon after they had left Liusday called superintendent Williams to him and stated that he he had made PREPARATIONS KOB HIS BTR1AL. The remains were to be placed in the vault at Oakwood cemetery, at Syracuse, until the excitement had partially died out, so that a quiet funeral could be secured. 41 1 don't want," said the doomed man, any excitement about it around the old borne." He talked remarkably cool in his direction as to the disposition of his body after death. PRATER. Rev.

WiBiam Manning of this city was with the prisoner for a short time and prayed with him. He implored Linsday not to die with a lie in his month but freely confess all, but Linsday only reiterated the old story, that he was innocent. The evening wore away slowly, and. by 10 o'clock all had left the hall save the prisoner, his guards and several newspaper reporters who were going to pass the night there. He seemed pleased to have some one to listen to him, and as the reporters were anxious to hear all they could from him he was humored.

He talked of the weather, of the crime for which he had ben convicted, wrongly, as he asserted. He rambled on childishly, giving theory after theory for Yader's strange behavior. He believed that Yader had killed Colvin himself and now sought to save himself by charging the crime upon another. The conversation often Dumy mbecia being discussed much intelligence and a knowledge of current events far superior to what would be expected in a man wbose life for nearly two years had been passed in a prison. He smoked constantly.

During the night he consumed FORTY-SKVKS CIGARS, smoking every one of them to a small stump. He was nervous at times and often sighed heavily. Hour after hour went by and still tbe condemned man sat there quietly blowing the blue smoke upward and conversing with the keepers and the reporters. He had eaten nothing during the afternoon or evening, but about 1 a. yesterday morning he partook of some crackers.

He had a long and private conversation with Mr. Williams about 3 a. m. At 4 o'clock, (me of the guards asked him if he did not intend to take anv sleen? "No. not whi while I have com- v.

his chair back, placed his feet in another and blew a thick cloud of smoke into the air. If CALLED THE REPORTERS to bim and requested them, no matter what they might do or say regarding him, to have pity on his poor wife and heart broken daughter and treat them kindly. There was the glimmer of a tear as he said this, and then be turned and strolled up and down the corridor, with his hands in his pockets and his face wearing anything but a serious expression. THE RAIS fell heavily npon the tin roof above and the noise it made echoed through the hall. It seemed to strongly effect Linsday.

He would listen and then glance up into the darkness and then move around the door. He dreaded to be alone, and whenever any one went toward him be started a conversation and carried it on in a rambling way. He did not say much about the scaffold, however, apparently shrinking from that subject. Toward 5 o'clock, sounds were often beard which buli-cated that the people bad arisen and the work of tbe day had commenced. The servants in tbe prison were let out of their cells and the day began in earnest.

Lindsay seemed to like the noise and bustle its contrast to the solemn stilbiess of the night was pleasing to him. The prisoners who are confined in tbe same hall, and there were many of them, were served with their breakfast and the process of serving it out was closely watched by him. He seemed to seek every means of diverting bis attention from tbe subject near at hand. Mr. Williams came in and again conversed for a time with the prisoner.

The conversation was pleasing to him, and seemed to inspire bim with coolness. He laughed and chatted pleasantly after It for a short time, but then came the dreary look and long-drawn sigh again. About half -past tt Linsday threw himself upon his rude prison bed and at fifteen minutes to 7 teU asleep. It was a troubled sleep, however; the mind seemed to still keep up its busy thinking, but it had lost its control of tbe features and frequent sighs came out. Everything was kept quiet, that his slumber should not be disturbed.

At fifteen minutes to 8 his family arrived. He bad slept an honr. i BIS WIFE entered tbe cell. She placed her hand upon his shoulder and said, in a low paintive tone, "Owen," He started nervously and quickly. "Go away from me: keep your hands off me," were the words he muttered.

Then the scene was all recognised and he spoke again and bade her welcome. He took no breakfast, simply sipping a cup of tea. The noise without now assumed the vulgar sound of men at work. The scaffold was being prepared, weights and ropes were being placed in position. It was still raining, however.

Occasional stragglors were olerved wandering about the outeide of the building The work of the shops was suspended and the men were locked up wham thoy could not see what was going on. He still asserted his innocence. The clergyman came anil with his family and him around him, the doomed pris to a if I MOSBAT UUiHT. FEBBCA.BY TtK t7B.
