TO THE POINT

"Climate?" asked the na-tive in response to an inquiry."Well. it's about eightmonths winter, and the rest ofthe year it's blanked late inthe fall." It is still early intne lali nere. in tact, it ishardly fall at all just a little"slip," so to speak, instead offall.

SLIP OR FALL.In either case it amounts to

the same thing. If you slipyou are bound to fall. Weare all bound to "fall" thisyear, and in no long time.The best thing to do is to"slip" into The When and getready for the "fall." We areready for you. Whether youwant a lull suit or only anodd coat and vest or an oddpair of trousers, we have themall. These latter we are sell-

ing at a very low price, be-

cause they are odd. Theyare as well made in everyway and will prove as service-able as a full suit.

We have more boys' andchildren's clothing than all theother houses in the city com-

bined. New and nobby pat-terns retailed at wholesaleprices.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

HillA gentleman who has just returned from

Cincinnati says that large bills announcinga Bee Line excursion to Springfield havebeen distributed ail over that city. He se-

cured one of the bills and it is certainly aremarkable document. The fellow whowrote it would better take advantage ofthe excursion and come to Springfield, aslie was evidently never here. Ttie bill,which is printed in enormous type, letsitself out as follows:

"Orand excursion to Sprinctield, thegreat agricultural citv of Ohi, Sunday,September 4. "Special "excursion train willleave the firand Central depot at 8 o'clocka. in., and Ickland at s:"0 a. ui., citvtime, via the Bee Line, allowing ampletime in which to view the finest water-works in the world: visit the famous KelljArcade, and other noted places of interestIn Springfield."

Two dollars are to be charged for theround trip. The train returning will leaveSpringheld at 7 p in., but tickets are ginnluntil Monday. It is impressively an-

nounced on the bill in wood type that wr--sons desiring to stop at the village of lay-to-

will be accommodated, as the train willmake a short stop there to get water. Ttieiieople, are earnestly adv ised not to miss theexcursion, and It is understood from a gen-tleman who has just returned from Cincinnati that several hundred people will notmiss it.

Coi.l Miu-s-. Sept. J The warden' of

fices at the penitentiary presented an un

wonted appearance last night. The doorswere thrown wide open, all the gas wasburning and an n crowd stoodaround the corridors and rooms conversingin subdued w hispers. 'I he approaching ex-

ecution of Josiah Terrill. the Meigs countymurderer, had cast a shadow over the Insti-

tution, and none of the resident officers or

their families could sleep. Warden Coflin'sdaughters, nervous and pale, sat in theclerk's office, unabie to rest, and even thesteady and reliable warden himself wan-

dered around in a restless manner. Thedeath of a human being under such circum-

stances, no matter how depraved he maybe, is an awful tiling, and there was no onepresent who was not perceptibly atrected.

In accordance with Tenlll's request liewas awakened at 11 o clock and a bounte-ous lunch, consisting of chicken, slicedtomatoes, fried potatoes, dried beef, hamsandwiches and butter, pie and Ciilfee. wassent in and the murderer sat down to itwith an evident relish, remarking that hehad a splendid appetite. At 11:40 thomeniliers of the press started for the execution room. Instead of resorting to thewierd-lookln- g lanterns and nerve-shakin- g

sneak shoes, and the shadowy path wind-ing around the buildings in the yard.Warden Coffin had tiad sawdust spreadilong the corridors leading to the annex,the floor of which was also cov ered withsawdust, thus deadening all sounds. Thesmall squad of newspaper men was re-l- n

forced at intervals by detachments ofcurious and interested people, until therooms w ere crowded.

At l'J.07 o'clock . llinton was calledfrom the execution room and found Terrillsitting in front of his cell awaiting the be-

ginning of religious seviees. The mur-

derer was elaborately dressed. His new-blac-

suit lilted him very well, and a cleanshirt and collar and a black necktie lKkedwell just beio v his siuothly shaved chin.In his button-hol- e was a bouquet of im-

mortelles ami a tuberose, with a geraniumleat as a background. The tuberose fellfrom its place, and he handed it, with asmile, to a reporter who has shown him I

much kindness. Warded Cothn alsospnrted a tuberose in his button-hol-

The entire crowd passed in behind theminister, who knelt bv a chair, while thospi ctators bared their heads. Terrillknteled and c ivered his face with his h vudas a simple and terveni praver was onereu.Af ti r the close of the ev he straight-ened himself up. took a chew of tobacco

lighted a cigar, settled hiuistlf in achair. There was an embarrassing pause,during which the murderer never flinched ahair's breadth, despite the curiouj eyesthat were peering at him around the cornerof the stairs leading to the scatfold.Then Warden Cotlin stepped forward andread the death warrant. At the close hesaid, "This requires me to hang you tonight.Ternll, between 12 o'clock and daylight."Terrill nodded his head as if to tiy thatthat was all right, and then, in answer to aquestion, remarked carelessly, "I believe Ihave nothing to say Just now.

The witnesses filed into the rocm wherestood the scatfold, and two minutes laterthe murderer, accompanied by WardenCoffin. Deputy Chetrington, AssistantDeputy Patton. Captain Mcllenry and Kev.llinton stepped out on the death balcony,rerrill was perfectly cool and collected andhis face was the usual color. As he steppedto the trap. Warden Coffin aked him if hehail anything to say. v ith an awkwardgesture, like tiiat of a scho.il boy declaiming "Excelsior." He answered: "i say Iain't guilty of this here charge."

"ou say you are guilty, queried thewarden, who. witli others, mSunderstool.

"I say I ain't guilty of this here charge."reiterated Terrill. "Coil in heaven knowsI ain't guilty. There are some people and J

lawyers in Poineroy think they have gotsatisfaction on inenow. That's all I've gotto say." I

Warden Corlm stepped over and shookbands with him, bidding him good-by- Mr.Uiutou gravely followed tils example, say-ing in a solemn tone: "Josiati, put yourconfidence and trust in the Lord."

"I have," piped Josiah.He was placed over the traps and stand-

ing as If being measured fur a suit ofclothes, permitted Deputy Cherrington.who is an old hand at the business, toadjust the ropes. There was some difficulty in fastening a strap and he considerately moved his feet to facilitate opera-tions. The black cap a rude bag wasplaced over his head and the noose adjustedat 12:33. The collar and necktie werekept on but did not interfere with the rope,which was tightened as much as povsiblebefore the drop. At 12:34. before theaudience realized tiiat it had happened.Warden Coffin shot the lever from north tosouth. Battle went the trap against theide of the room and with a "boom" the

body of the murderer shot down sevenfeet, oscillated a couple of times and thenbecame quiet. There was not a twitch ofa muscle or a movement of the body.

Instantly a plank was thrown across twochairs on the) platforms at each side of thehanging man. and Drs. Clemmer and Xor-ri- s

sprang on it to take notes of the puNeand respiration. The heart beats werevery rapid at first, but after six minutes be-

gan to lessen. In twelve miuutes he wasdead.

The rjpe was lowered so that the bodycould be placet on the plank, the knot wascut and the noose looseneil and then theblack cap was taken off, exposing the swollen and blackened face. His neck lis.il beenbroken by the fall but the rope had not cutthe Mesh."

The body was placed in a good coffin andat 7:41 tins morning was shipped on tneHocking Valley train to Pomeroy. where itwill be buried by the dead man's mother.Strange to say, he expressed no desire tomeet this aged woman before death. Onthe contrary, he remarked at supper thatthe only person he cared much to see w ashis illegitimate child.

MAD AS A MARCH HARE.

An Urbana XTolu.ui Found lVn'iderlltf;Abuut Catawba She la ent Here andJailed.On Thursday afternooT Depot Policeman

Hughes took an insane woman otf the southbound Bee Line train, and calling the patrolwagon.sent her to the county jail.

A short time before the arrival of thetrain Officer Hughes was notified by wireby the authorities at Catawba, that thewoman had been found wandering aim-lessly about that village, and not knowingwhat else to do with her they had put heron the train for this city so that she mightbo p aceil in charge of Sheriff Baker andproperly cared for until her relatives couldbe found anil notified.

When Officer Hughes took the womanfrom the train she was unable to give anyaccount of herself. She could not eventell her name and stared vacant I v at hersurroundings,and babbled incoherently andalmost incessantly. The ot!ieer have notthe remotest idea who she Is or where shebelongs, and as she is stark mad, nothingcan be learned from her.

She is about 24 years old and is poorlydad. She will be held to await word fromher friends, which will doubtless be received within a day or two.

AMICABLY ADJUSTED.

The Howlu Attitehiueut Suits aud theConae,tient sjrti.ailmutl DevelopmentSatl.r..rturily Srttled,On Wednesday the REi'Liii.tr repro-

duced a special from enla to the Cincinnati Ciimnii ntnl thtztttr, which referredsensationally to attachments that had beengotten out by Mr. George C. Bowlus's senFrank on some goods which Mr. Bowiushad taken to Yellow Springs to be sold, to-

gether with those of Mrs. T. F. Casad, ofthe Yellow Springs house. Concerningthe matter the Xenia Gazette of Thursdayevening says:

".Mr. G. C. Bowius. whose name wasmentioned Iu connection with the attach- -m nt of furniture at Yellow Springs in anarticle published iu this paper Tuesday",called on us yesterday evening to explainttie case. He is from Springheld andbrought with him a good letter vouchingfor nis reputable character, and himselfseems to be a very affable gentleman, whomcircumstances have placed in a very

situation. He came to Yellowsprings as soon as he heard of the tan-gled condition of affairs there and straight-tene- d

it all up. The trouble came fromhis oldest son. vvho.as pretended heir to hismother, who died last September, had thegoods attached and he also, as Mr. Bowiusstates, got the woman to come down amilay claims to the fattier so as to embarrassMrs. Casad. In lact the goods belonged tothe young Bowius girls, who are now withMrs. Casad, and expect to make their homewith her. Mr. Bowius assures us that theboy who made all the trouble has ever beenundutiful and troublesome. We makethese statements in justice of Mr. Bofflu-.- "

Mr. Bowius had charge of the tale ofMrs. Casad's goods and of the winding upof the business affairs of the Yellow-Spring- s

house. He was, therefore, obligedto tie at Yellow Springs almost every day.This caused his son Frank to take the ac-tion he did and it is understood that tieurged others to give his father trouble.

The matter was adjusted on Thursdayafternoon by Frank paying the cosh of theattachment proceedings, releasing thegoods, and dropping the affair altogether.The Coleoi in claim will be settled at once.Mr. Bowius says that there was no disposi-tion on his part to "beat" anybody, andthat he will pay one hundred cents on adollar.

It is understood that Mrs. Casad was verymuch broken up over the trouble as itplaced her Iu an exceedingly embarrassingattitude, but now that the affair has beenadjusted she need have no further concern.

The play. "Two Old Cronies," Is new,and the performance last night may be saidto have been pretty new, too.
