For the last two or three days Grubbhas been busy with his spiritual advisers. Thursday evening, Mrs. Denny, who converted him, took her final leave of him. The separation was very affecting. Grubb retired at 10 o'clock and soon fell asleep nd slumbered peacefully all night long.

Few lost less sleep on account of the ap roach in execution than the doomed man. He did not awake during the night, though at times he tossed restlessly upon his cot He arose at 5 o'clock apparently refreshed. He washed himself and looked bright, though his expression was slightly downcast. He picked over a breakfast of bread, cake, pie, fried eggs, rice and coffee. He then was shaved.

He talked and joked with the rest of the 'prisoners. His hands were pinioned behind him while he was being shaved. He seemed anxious to see his family, and spoke of them repeatedly. 'At 9 o'clock the Rev. Mr.

Keith, the Baptist minister, went to his cell and remained with him praying and singing until the hour of execution. Grubb said he was prepared to die. At 9 a. m. Grubb took his leave from his brother Charles.

The Rev. Mr. Keith bai remained with the prisoner, praying and consoling him all morning. He ascended the scaffold at 11:03 coolly and without the slightest assistance from Sheriff McDowell or Deputy Sheriff Buckles, who went on either side. Mr.

Keith walked before, reciting asked if he had anything to say Grubb replied: "I have a heap to say, but dasen't open my mouth on account of the newspapers. 1 am ready; better put on your rope." "At 11:03 o'clock the drop fell. His neck was broken. At 11:80 o'clock the physicians pronounced him dead.

Grubb then turned the pistol on himself, but it being empty he inflicted no damage. He surrendered immediately to an officer and was with difficulty saved from being lynched on the spot. Both Grubb and Miss Downey were of respectable families. They had been acquainted for about three years.

Grubb used to be among Miss Downey's admirers and a frequent visitor at her house and her escort to places of amusement. A few days before the murder Grubb made her an offer of marriage and was rejected. He did not see Miss Downey again until he met ber at the fair: But a few days before on going to town he called at her house and re auosted an interview. Ehe refused to receive him. wnen'ne met norm company with a cousin at the fair he again requested her to grant him a few minutes' talk, and asked her to take a walk with him, but she refused.

Then he requested her to step aside for a little talk. She started to do so, but before they had proceeded many yards he pulled out the revolver and commenced firing. Grubb was taken to Evansville for safe keeping. Shortly arter his removal a mob of seventy five men came to the Princeton jail, but after finding that he had been taken awayrthey dispersed. His trial took place at Vincennes, Ind.

After a week's trial the jury brought in a death verdict. Grubb took the verdict very calmly when sentence was read which condemned him to die. THE PENALTY FOB HDBDEK. Justice Meted Oat la the Uanal Style at Fort Smith, Ark. Little Rock, April 20.

A TERRIBLY DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEW YORK. Falrbanlc Refinery, Two Bis Elevators, the Kossiter Stores Among the Buildings Destroyed. Nit York, April 20. The biggest and fiercest fire New Yorkers have witnessed in this generation swept the east bank of the North river clear Friday from Fifty ninth street to what would be Sixty fifth street if that street ran to the river. It destroyed more than $1,500,000 worth of property belonging to the New York Central railroad, and at least worth of lard, floor, and tha like, belonging to other persons, notably N.

K. Fair bank, the great Chicago lard merchant. The flames destroyed the two big elevators "A and of the Vanderbflt system; a big brick building stretching from Fifty ninth street to Sixtieth street, and occupied by the Fairbank lard refinery and tne Rossiter stores, and wiped out the dock operty of the New York Central railroad system from Fifty ninth to past Sixty fifth street. At least one man was killed in his headlong flight from the fire at the first outbreak. A number were, injured jumping from the windows of the bnrning building.

Edward H. To bin. fireman, likewise pros trated by the heat. Rumors were rife all the evening tbat a number of workmen had been caught and burned In the Fair bank refinery, but it has been thus far impossible to ascertain the truth of them. At least 250,000 people turned out to watch the brilliant sight from the police lines on Twelfth avenue.

All the Wet Side streets were blocked. and the elevated trains carried swarms up and down town to swell the crowds. The police reserves were called oat to preserve order. Every fire engine above Four teenth street was called out In the work of extinction, but the firemen fought against tremendous odds, first owing to the resistless rush of the flames and second because of the conformation of the ground In the locality, which Is upon a slope higher ground to the Hudson river. A Bsc for Ufer The JIre broke' out in the south west' corner of the Falrbank refinery, where workmen were busy at the time setting no a new lard cooling apparatus when the fire started, how no knew and probably never will know.

Soaked in grease as the old building was, it was aflame in an instant. From the ground floor the fire swept up ward to the roof, almost with the speed of thought. The men at work in every story dropped their tools and ran to save their lives. The stair cases formed a glowing chimney, throwing out fire every floor. The windows presented the only means of escape.

Pursued closely by flames men flung themselves out by 'scores headlong, and behind them burst out the flames. How many were there no one could telL Those, who came out were picked up and carried away by their friends, shuddering to think that some might have been left. Crying wives and mothers crowded the police lines shouting for their husbands and sons, or begging news of them, rhey were turned back and bidden to look in the throngs for those they sought. They would, the policemen hopefully said, probably find them there. The fire swept on.

The Fairbank refinery, the old establishment of the W. J. Wilcox company, stands upon the water front between Fifty ninth and Sixtieth streets, occupying.half of a building 200 by 200 feet, that filled out the block. The refinery was on the south half, the Rossiter stores for general merchandise on the north side. An Unequal The firemen took their stand on a brick wall which divided the buildings and endeavored to stop the progress of the flames.

The fire beat against it and heatad it "red hot. Other brick walls and the roof fell In upon it, but it stood like a Anything save such a fire it would hare resisted, but flames led by melting and flowing lard burn fiercely and leap high. They leaped above and around the sturdy barrier and reached across Sixtieth street and the dock slip. Over there stood the first and the largest of the enormous grain elevators of the New York Central railroad. It was elevator 'A, the construction of which cost $500,000.

'It' stood presenting its gable end to the flames that were blown toward it. Once that caught fire there would be no escape for elevator 509 feet farther up the river, and no telling where the fire would stop, for beyond were freight sheds innumerable. Between the elevators on the water front and Twelfth avenue were first twenty seven railroad tracks which, no fire engine could cross, and a. half mile of stock yard pens equally impassable. Chief Shay saw this and led his men to a very life struggle in order to save the elevators.

He telephoned for fireboats and they came to his assistance. But the efforts of the valiant men were In Tain. The tremendous heat from the fire across the street dried and warped the woodwork of the big frame building. Though it was' sheathed with corrugated Iron and protected by slate, it shriveled up like withered leaves, the slates fell from its sides in a red hot rain, a thin, blue, film smoke arose from its roof and sides, then a tiny wreath of something darker curled from one of the corner windows, a dull, red light showad behind it. A shout went up There she goes." and then came a burst from half a dozen windows at once, and the building was on fire.

MEDICINE FOR MORMONS. Five Utah BIIlonarles Taken Oat and Whipped by Alabama Citlsons. St.

Louis, Ma, April 20. Information comes from Dale county, Alabama, that five Mormon missionaries were severely whipped and driven from, the county last Monday night These men had been holding meetings among the ignorant classes of the country, and had formed a colony to go to Utah. This had been carried on against the judgment of the better class of. people, but no action to stop it was taken until the but issue of the Ozark Star advised the citizens to tar and feather the Mormons and drive them away. This was enough.

Monday night some forty of the so called best citizens of the northern part of the county, without the slightest attempt at disguise, surrounded the house of Old Irons, a recent convert, who was entertaining the five missionaries. Without delay they were brought out stripped to the waist and tied in a row. Then each of the regulators, with a long switch, struck each prisoner a sounding blow. By the time the last blow was given two of the men had fainted and the others were wet with blood; After the whipping the men's legs were given a thick coating of tar and feathers and they were warned to leave Instantly or suffer death. Irons was told that If the Mor mons were found in his house again he, too, would be whipped.

The names of the Mormons are Asa F. Hixson, J. H. Hagadom, M. F.

Miller, John W. Pearce and Uncle Morrison. They have gone to Henry county, but it Is certain if they attempt to. hold meetings there they will again be whipped. Their followers in Dale county talk of.

Southerners Steal Across the Borders and Are Followed by a Posse of United States Officers. Capture of Thirty Boomers, Two Fatal lfWonadMl and Several Others Bart.

Pubcitx, I April 20. A battle occurred Friday between United States officers and boomers and thirty boomers were taken Seven of them were severely wounded and one deputy marshal was slightly hurt A raid was made' by United States deputy marshals Friday afternoon on boomers who bad disregarded the law and taken np claims in Oklahoma. For some days men on horseback and in wagons have been sesn fording the South Canadian north of Pur cell and disappearing in the timber to the eastward. Men who came in from hunting trip reported having seen large bodies bAQin ers moving in a northeasterly direction, and a hunter who arrived Thursday de clared that he bad found a man plowing inasec.di. ralley about twenty nulea from Puree 11 The troops under Lieut Carson scouted for the last time through this region about three weeks ago, and when the reported there was none to prevent the would be settler entering this country except th Tnited Btates 4Enrt7 marshals, who at that time were kept busy day and night in curbing the bad characters who had in fested the' place.

Within three days the force of deputies has, been largely increased. 1 Friday at sunrise thirteen prairie schoOd' ers, well manned, crossed the Santa Fe tracks below the city and forded the river. The drivers urged their animals with whip and clubs and the train was across' and out of sight be Tore many of the resident of Pnrcell were A prominent citizen saw them, however, and he acquainted others who have staked out claims and hope to occupy them soon after noon Monday next The story soon gained general circulation and before noon a meeting was held in the Methodist church. The feeling against the trespassers ran high and inside of thirty minutes a half dozen fiery speeches had been made. It was finally decided that the chief deputy marshal be called upon to try to expel the raiders He said he would 'do so and immediately sent one of his assistants to rally his men.

In the afternoon the chief deputy, accompanied by thirteen assistants, rode down to the river and took the same ford. There was a fresh trail leading to the northeast and the party followed this at a gallop. About four miles out one of the men noticed a thin cloud of smoke rising above the cot ton woods to the right. A halt was called and three of the party re connoitered. They discovered four wagons about 300 feet from the trail and five men seated around a fire eating their dinner.

These were unceremoniously ordered to "bitch up." The chief deputy told them that if they delayed their outfits would be confiscated. The enterprising boomers were thoroughly scared and in less than, fifteen minutes were on the back trail In charge of one of the deputies, who was ordered to escort them across the river and then picket the fording place until his comrades returned. The latter deployed as skirmishers and advanced slowly several miles. Suddenly a shot was heard on the, left and a bullet clipped a leaf above the head of ona of the party. A minute later a volley rang out in front and the pony ridden by one of the deputies sank to the ground with a bullet In the head.

The chief of the deputies is noted for his bravery and be called out for his men to Each had unslung his Winchester and all surged forward. They fired inio the thicket and shouted like madmen. There was no response for several minutes and the men began to think they had dispersed the assailants. They soon discovered their mistake. A man poped from behind a log and fired at them, and this was the signal for another fusillade from his friends.

'He retreated down a ravine just in time to escape the fire of the deputies, who continued to advance and pump their repeaters. Half way down the ravine the deputies discovered a rough. barricade of logs and brush across the entrance, and simulatane ously a voica exclaimed: give it to them, boys." A sheet of fame poured from the face of the barrier and another shower of bullets sped toward the officers. They had been sufficiently warned, however, and but one of their number was bit, and his wound was not serious. The chief deputy ordered a retreat and gathered his men about him for a council of war.

It was evident tbat the barricade was quite heavily manned, and that a direct assault would prove disastrous, therefore it was decided to divide the party and attack the flanks of the enemy. This movement brought the deputies directly above the barricade. At a given signal they began shooting from the top of the ravine into the midst of the boomers, who were utterly unable to defend themselves from such an atttk. Ten minntes of rapid firing ensued and then a cry for quarter went up from the barricade. We shouted a man when the firing ceased.

A hasty advance to the fort and the officers were in charge of thirty prisoners, seven of whom were severely Th Trom48 Mtjluns and David Wins trip, will probably die. Mullins has a bullet in his left lung and wlnship one In his abdomen. Mahtik VAUbOK of Gainesville, Tex re oeived a ball in his left ttalgh. John T. Whits of Fort Worth was struck in the shoulder.

SaxxTKL Dodd of North Carolina has a deep gash in his forehead. Edward Fbabisskt of Texas suffers a shattered arm. Johh Yousro of Louisiana Is shot through the shoulder The prisoners, all of whom had rifles and revolvers and plenty of ammunition, were disarmed, the wounded cared for, and the march to Purcell was taken up. The wagons and personal property of, the boomers were destroyed. The gang were all Southerners, mostly from Texas, ani presented a forlorn appearance.

Then captain, Edward Mcintosh, said he had been concealed In a ravine cr three days, and that the party was only the advance guard ofi'. body of more than 400, who, through agents sent ahead, had selected the claims' and proposed to hold them with Winchesters against all comers. 4 Mcintosh and the other prisoners were, taken to the prison pen, five miles south west of Purcell, and placed under a strong guard. As but one of the marshals was wounded and his injury is trifling tha charge of murder cannot be brought against the men. They may be tried for resisting arrest but the belief is that they will be released after Oklahoma is open.

There is naturally much excitement here, and not a ittle sympathy for tne wounded 1 among the lately arrived boomers, who I would be too happy to get Into Okla boma themselves this week and bide. A. detachment of the Fifth cavalry is expected here to day and a scout will probablj' result in the discovery of many other out fits Which are still across the river.
