A copy of the newspaper La Lucha, pub- lished in Havana, Cuba, September 21, was brought to port by one of the crew of the Earn Liae steamer Earnford, which vessel was in Havana on that date. An advertisement in La Lucha notifies the public that on the evening of Septem- ber 21 Francisco Barroso y Ruel, convicted of the crimes of rebellion and incendiarism, will enter the chapel and there make his peace with God before his execution the following morning, when he will be shot in the ditch of Laurel Grove. “The Strangling” is the headline of an- other advertisement calling the public at- tention to the fact that on the following day, at 7 am.. Manuel Rodriguez Rivero, Amador Perez Garcia and Nito Sania Cruz will be placed in the chapel of the con demned and be stranged the day after. The execution was advertised to take place in the ditch of Laurel Grove. Their crime was brigandage, or of being sequestrors. The garroting or strangling of the seques- trors was witnessed by one of the crew of the Earnford. Long before the hour for the execution Laurel Grove, which is a square surrounded by a high wall, and ad- joining Moro Castle, was crowded with peo- ple who made a fringe of humanity on the top of the walls. The garrote was in the middle of the squaré upon a platform so situated that all the spectators could see it. The first of the seauestrors was a white man, who was ac- companied by a priest, four attendants and a guard of soldiers. He was smoking a cigarette with all the nonchalance of a man going to a wedding feast instead of being the subject of his own funeral. He took his seat in the fatal chair, but refused to wear the white cap, with open- ings for the efes, which was attached as a cowl to his robe. The executioner deftly ar- ranged the collar around the man’s neck. All was ready in a moment and the execu- tioner gave a turn of a screw and bore down on a lever. In five minutes a physician made an examination of the grinning corpse in the chair and declared life to be extinct. The body was removed by the four atiend- ants and thrown behind the s!atform upon which the garrote stood. The others, who were colored men, were dispatched in the same way, but were longer in dying than their white companion. Their bodies were thrown on the ground, to be buried, it was said, in a pit, where the bodies of all victims are thrown and cov- ered with quicklime. The executioner is a life prisoner, who is paid $17 in gold for each man garroted, which he fs allowed to spend upon himself. He was dressed in black. with stripes of white on the back of his coat, such as prisoners in the penitentiary wear. Three months previously he had performed his first work as an executioner. He bungled the job se badly that his predecessor, a powerful black man, was called in to finish the job. ——_+e-+_____ Teutonic Calm on a State Occasion. From the Kansas City Times. Gov. Thomas T. Crittenden, who suc- ceeded Phelps in the executive chair, was inaugurated in January, 1881, with more ceremony and frills than any other gov- ernor since the war. There were military and bands galore, and special trainloads of people came from Kansas City and St. Louis to witness the pageant. The military features were in charge of Capt. Hawley of St. Louis, who was grand marshal cf- the day. Brockmeyer, who, as Meutenant governor, was presiding over the senate, was lolling back in his chair on the pres dent’s stand, smoking a cob pipe and await- ing notice of the time for the senate to proceed to the hall of the house of repre- sentatives, where the two bodies in joint session were to receive the new governor, and the inauguration wouild be consum- mated. The senate lobby was crowded and the senators were in their seats, on the tiptoe of expectancy, for martial trains could be heard on the outside. At this juncture a figure in a glittering and Eril- liant uniform pushed through the crewd and marched half way up the aisie. It was Marshal of the Day Hawley. Drawing his sword he made a military sa'ute, and pompously announced: “Mr. President, the governor or Missouri and his staff now approaches.” Without removing his pipe from his mouth, Brockmeyer replied: “Vell, let him coom; dot is what we are here for.” - » When the laugh had subsided the senate proceeded to the house and the inaugura- tion was completed. ———-e-___ Unpardonable Cri From the Chicago Tribune. “That was a pretty bold piece of business out on 87th street. Two men held up a crowd of five or six fellows about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and robbed them of some- thing like $1,600. One of the robbers had a full-dress suit on, too.” “And before 6 o'clock! What a desperate scoundrel!” BIG MEN OF THE CHURCH Annual Moeting of the Boman Catholic Archbishops Thursday. No Important Questions te Settle—The Education of Indian Children Will Be Considered. The regular annual meeting of the 2oman Catholic archbishops of the United States will be held upon the original date set for the gathering, Thursday, only it will take place at the Catholic University instead of at New Orleans. It is said that no import- ant qvestions are to be considered other than that relating to the education of In- dian children. The determination of Congress to end ihe contract system of educating the Indian children leaves the church with a large amount of school property and with no means for carrying on the schools. Some action will be taken to meet this pros- pective changed condition of affairs. The impression that the meeting of arch- bishops would result in the nomination of bishops for the vacant sees at Buffalo, St. Cloud and Wilmington is erroneous. The nominations for Buffalo and Wilmington have been sent to Rome already, and are awaiting confirmation, while that for St. Cloud is to be determined by the bishops of the St. Paul province, and not by the archbishops. Calling on Mgr. Martinelli. Monsignor Martinelli’s residence is a center of attention for the arriving pre- lates, many of whom have paid their re- Spects to him for the first time. Among the callers today were Archbishops Rivr- dan of San Francisco, Elder of Cincin- nati and Ireland of St. Paul, and Bishop McGoldrick of Duluth. At noon the dele- gate entertained these gentlemen at dinner. Dr. Rooker, secretary to the delegate, said the calls had no significance beyond an ex- change of greetirigs. The delegate takes no part in the choice of a rector for the university, which the pope's letter commits entirely to the directors. dt is stated positively that no word has come from Rome or is on the way, so far as Is known, concerning the attitude of the Catholic clergy toward politics. Neither the retiring delegate, Cardinal Satolli, nor his su ‘or, Mgr. Martinelli, has express- «d any approval or criticism of Archbishop Ireland's recent political statement, as it is regarded his personal and individuai act, wholly unconnected with the church. Cardinal Gibbons will arrive at the Uni- versity tonight and will be the guest of the institution while here. Archbishop Will- iams will also be a guest there. Archbishop Gross is being entertained by Father Mack- in of St. Paui’s Church. Archbishops Cor- rigan and Ryan are the guests of Miss Alice Riggs. The other prelates expected are Archbishops Chappelle of Santa Fe, Feehan of Chicago, Kain of St. Louis and Riordan of San Francisco. TO HONOR CONNECTICUT'S DEAD.

Frederick R. Day Lectured for the * Offense by Judge Miller. A rather interesting case, involving the code of honor, came to light this afternoon in Judge Miller's court, when Frederick R. Day appeared to answer a charge of mak- ing threats, preferred by William H. Reutzer. The alleged threats were em- braced in a challenge to fight a duel, for- warded to Reutzer by Day. Both men are well-known printers, and are members of Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101. According to the story, the men had a personal difficuliy, which culminated in the following communication: WASHINGTON, D. C., October 16, 1896. 605 6th Street Northwest. Sir: By your pigheadedness, or, rather, lack of reasoning powers, you insulted me in a cowardly manner this morning. It is quite true I did blame you for the loss of that article, but when 1 understood the affair, I exempted you from all blame, and if the other party tells the truth, when he says he has lost the ticket, I must also excuse him. However, 1 am of the opinion that there is “crooked business” somewhere, and I am not used to deaiing with that ciass of people; in fact, 1 despise and abhor such people. Now to business. As you are well aware, I am physically unable to cope with you, hence your loud-mouthed brawling ‘this merning. It is cowards, fools and curs who resort to that mode of settling dis- putes. I resent with all the manhood of a gentleman the epithets you hurled at me this morning, and throw back to you the epithet “cur” with all the necessary ad- jectives. Knowing myself as I do, I am prepared to defend my honor at any time with my life, if necessary, but 1 must meet you on equal grounds. Now, sir, 1 not only ask, but demand, an urconditional apology, or I shall brand you as an unmitigated liar and coward. You must accede to my terms now. Any time that you are ready, I am prepared to step off six paces with gentlemen's weapons. When shall it be, if you are so certain that I am alf you characterized me this morning before your friends? P. S.—f want your answer in writing. After hearing the testimony, Judge Miller lectured Day and added that if the offense should be repeated the extreme penalty would be administered. ‘The case was then dismissed. ———— Would De as in '61, " Ex-United States Senater John B. Hen- derson of Missouri, in a speech at Wil- mington, Del., last night scored the Chi- cago platform and nominees. He said, in part: “The populist platform, which is now a part of the democratic party, for Bryan stands on both, proposes to seize the tele- graph and railroad lines. If they know what they are doing they certainly intend to reorganize the government. If they should be so bold as to make the attemat not less than four or five million soldiers will resist. We will do as the men did in 1861. We simply asked then that the Con- stitution be not disturbed, and we will defend it as we did then.” licknew’s. Fashion Fads in Coats, Capes & Suits.
