Crocker will, lays, hav thing in readiness. Tt is. understood as the in: closure in which the execution will take place— at the northeast angle of the structure—is lim- ited as to space, there Is a desire on the part ot some of the goverument officials that there should be but a limited number of peopie admnitted to the premises on that day, and therefore there will be no special passes. If is likely that outside the jury to make return to the court and members of the press, there will be but few others admitted. Consequently most of the applications for invitations to witness the execution will be unheeded. Although the com- munity generally are of the opinion that there will be no further respite and the prisoner ex- pects none, there ure some who belleve that he will escape hanging. The scaffold has already been described. The condemned man knows it is in place, but manifests the greatest | indifference about it, and is probably about as | | | very strong and very effective | Theodore Toedt, stoical as any prisoner in the jail. “As has be- fore been stated, he claims that whatever he did on the gight of the murder he does not re- metnber, and says that he is perfectly resigned to his fate.

At about noon on Tuesday Mrs. Agnes Snea- rahe of Walter Sneathen, shot herself at er boarding house, 188 Second avenue, Pitts- burg. Mrs. Sneathen had been married’ about four months: Fa the morning she seemed to be in a very happy frame of mind, and was busily engaged in arranging some of her w edding pres- ents and clothing which she had brought in from the east end, where she and her husband had been living until within a week or two. She called in some of the ladies boarding at the house and spoke of arrangements she was making to go to housekeeping. After fixing her room, which was immediately in the rear of the parlor on the first floor, she began to dress for dinner, and seemed to be unusually particu- Jar In her totlet. Just as dinner was announced a lady in the CS -room heard a report like a pistol, and, thinking it might be a plece of slate in the parlor fire, started to see whether any coals had shot out on the carpet. She had taken Steps only toward the parlor when Mr. ter Sneathen opened the front door and asked who bad been shot. The lady said she supposed it was a pieceof slate. Mr. Sneathen then opened the door of his room, and, seeing his wife lying across the bed, exclaimed, “ Oh, my God, i's my wife!” The lady whom he addressed ran to the door, but Mrs. Sneathen was lying so quietly that she thought she was sleeping. When the curtain was raised she saw blood on the bed, and a pistol lying by the side of the prostraté woman. Sneathen was so crazed by the sight that he seized the revolver, and, pressing it against his side, attempted to shoot himself. Miss Best, a lady boarder, who had been at- tracted to the room by the’ screams, caught his hand and wresting the weapon: from lim raa up stairs apd hid itin her room. Mrs. Sneathen was an unusually pretty girl, about is years old, and belonged to a very wealthy family in the east end. Her husband also belongs to a wealthy family and is only 20 years of age. There is no possible cause known for the sill- cide. There had been family troubles at the Ume of her marriage. but they were all over, and everything looked bright to the young couple. = ar =e = 10,000 YARDS OF al HAMBURG EMBROIDERY SELLING AT HALF VALUE.

The doctor’s bold defiance, which is thus thrust upon. ee curious attention of his neighbors, is n his earnest bellef in his Jodide Aimmo- nia Lintment, which is now preferred to all oth- ers by the chief stock raisers and sporting men of this country. A valuable horse of the writer’s was kicked on the hock. Swelling and lameness ented rendering the animal nearly worthless. We were advised to try Giles’ Liniment, and we are oe to say It acted like a charm. About two inches of the bone came away, the sore healed up, and the lameness and swelling are fast disappearing.
