As the President and Mrs. Cleveland came out of the White House one cveu ing, and were entering their carriage to return to Oak View, their attention was directed to a little hoy who was waiting to shake hands with them. Ilia name was Herbert Gildersleeve, and he had walked from Pittsburg, a distance of 300 miles, to see the President. The Presi¬ dent turned to the little fellow, shook him warmly by the hand, and after com plimenting him him for his walk, presented to Mrs. Cleveland, who gave him a very pleasant shake of the hand from the carriage. Herbert was ten years old, and made his long pedestrian tour to the cap¬ ital in company with his father. Both will return to Pittsburg by rail. TKOrnY FOU SALE. A letter received in Washington, from a son of Commodore Charles Waugh Morgan, valuable of 1812 fame, directs the saleof a and historic sword, which wAs presented to the commodore by the state of Virginia in honor of his intrepid¬ ity and valor as lieutenant of the United States frigate Constitution and the cap¬ ture of the British frigates Guerriere and Java on the 19th of August, 1812, and 29tli of December, 1813. The scabbard and handle of the sword are of gold and the blade is of the finest tempered steel. On the scabbard, in b;;s relief, are repre¬ sentations of naval victories for which the sword was given to the commodore. The sword has been for thirty years in the vault of a local bank, and the son who now owns it resides in England and desires it to be sold to supply his necessi¬ ties. NOTES. Robert B.

A DEATH TRAP. Two Negro VVcll-l>l*ger* Arc Siifl'ornted by Poisonous Gasses. Lewis and Jack Bates, two neurc brothers, met horrible deaths while cleaning out a well on Simon Ti»}lor‘s place, three miles north of Greensboro, Ala. Lewis, while digging in the well, suddenly cried out to his brother, then at the windlass, to draw him up, ex¬ claiming in a gurgling voice: “I am chokin’, chokin’; I am dyin’, djink” Jack and others began at once to haul him from the well, but when half way out his hold gave way, owing to his weakness caused by suffocation, and he fell back io the bottom, dying with groanings and stifled mutterings. Jack, alarmed, rapidly descended into the well to rescue his brother, and when he reached the gas, he likewise met the horrible death of being choked by the deathly gas. The other laborers working at and near the well, became so terribly frightened that they ran away, piled leaving the corpses of the two brothers to¬ gether in a gaseous and partly watery grave. After some hours the bodies were dragged from the well by means of iron hooks, and the scene as presented was horrible of the beyond description’. The eyeballs men had nearly burst from their sockets. Both bodies wore swelled almost beyond recognition. Ex¬ pressions of awful suffering was pictured upon both faces. The muscles were badly drawn, and all in all, the corpses were a sight most horrible to look at. Both negroes were speedily of buried and various are the conjectures the supersti¬ tious people as to the cause of sud¬ den and mysterious killing of the brothers. MUST HAVE REVENGE. At a military banquet given in Tou¬ louse, France, Gen. Berearet, commander of the 13th corps, declared that France now knew her strength, and that she was ready and waiting revenge. M. Cales, member of the chamber of deputies, said the recent mobilization experiment show- 5^ to give l ^ at France arm the J, was revenge now j for n a which position she impatiently waited. The speeches excite 8er ious comment. Vienna papers en deavor to soften the effect of the speeches made at the military banquet at Toulouse, an< ^ that no importance must be attached to them. They blame the speakers and say that the German press will be sure to make an outcry, because of the speeches, and admonishes France to remain quiet and dignified. GENERAL NEWS.

THE LAW REIGNS. CHICAGO BOMB-THROWERS TO BE HUNG NOVEMBER 11TH. Groat Excitement in C'bienno—'Tho Con¬ demned Men Itecelre the New* Very Calmly—The Anarchist Moat Furious. Justice Magrvuler announced the de¬ cision in the anarchist case, at Ottown, Ills. A6 the justices tiled into the couit room, headed by Chief Justice [Sheldon, they appeared more dignified than ever. The chief justice waved his associates to their seats even more stately than his wont; his nod to the sheriff was more 6tifl and his “Open the court” less audi¬ ble than on the previous days of the term. Justice Magruder he appeared flushed aud nervous as entered the court room,the cause of which was evidenced a few mo¬ ments later when Chief Justice Sheldon turned to him, and in a voice, which would have been inaudible save for the deathly stillness which pervaded the room, said: “Justice Magruder, have you any announcement to make?” The flushed appearance of the justice changed to that of pallor and his voice was husky as he responded: “In August Spies and others against the people of the state of Illinois, No 59 advisement docket.” The chief justice nervously turned the leaves of the court docket to the case indicated, when the justice read the decision of the court in the “anarchist case.” As he commenced reading he regained his com¬ posure. His voice was clear and distinct until the order fixing the death penalty and the date of execution was reached, when his reading became labored, hie voice husky, and his manner showed that it was with the greatest emotion that he performed the duty he had been dele¬ gated voiced by liis the associates decision to of perform, the court hav¬ in ing the most celebrated case it lias ever bceu called upon to decide. Justice Sheldon said: “In this case the court orders that the sentence of the su¬ perior court of Cook county of the de¬ fendants Fielden, in indictment—August Adolph Spies, Samuel It. Parsons, Fischer, Engel, Louis Linggand Michael Sdnvab—be carried into effect by the sheriff of Cook county on the 15th day of November next, on Friday, between the hours of ten o’clock in the forenoon and four o’clock in the afternoon on that day. The judgment of the court was unanimous.” The opinion had makes counsel 00,000 wore s. The anarchists no to represent them before the court as the decision was announced and no steps were taken in thei.r behalf. They liave fifteen days in which to file a motion for a rehearing anel thiity days from the close of the teim to file n petition in support thereof. This will not act as a stay of sentence, aud they will have to show very strong grounds before the court would consent to the issue of a stay of execution until a rehearing could be had next term. cell The 25 turnkey of the Chicago who took jail the and dispatch shoved to it through the liars, lingered a moment to watch the effect it would have on Spies. The anarchist took the message, glanced firmly at the turnkey and then withdrew to the darker end of the cell. In two minutes or so, lie called gently to the old man who sits as a dcuthwatch outside the barred door and asked him to hand the telegram to Parsons. From him it went to all the others and reached Neebo, who is the only one under sentence of imprisonment. It could be dimly seen that eacli of the condemned men made ostentative efforts at coolness and brava¬ do. They took seats at their cell doors and rend newspapers and books, smoked cigars, and once Lingg, the bomb-maker, whistled. Their wives and friends had been with them for an hour during the morning, but about thirty minutes before the news came they were all excluded, and the prisoners lock eel up. Sheriff Matson had remained away from the jail. By his orders during the uight, the guards had all been doubled. In •hiding court bailiffs there were twenty •f the sheriff's meu on duty, ten turnkey* • nd guards that are on regular duty at he jaifand six policemen who patrolled he alleys outside. Capt.

The news of the aflirination, by the su¬ preme court, of the decision of the lower court in the cases of the condemned an¬ archists, caused great excitement among New York socialists aud anarchists. Ilerr Most was furious. Most’s editorial is ad¬ dressed “To the Workingmen of Al> Countries.” He characterizes the judges who made the decision as “infamous and blood-thirsty fools,” and the jury as cor¬ rupt. November 11 was the day set for the murder of these “heroes, ” The cap¬ italists wished to see blood flow to show the people that they were the law and do as they pleased. DEATH OF A (XEUGYM4N.

A unique fight is now r going on between the Evansville & Indianapolis Railroad aud J. C. Palmer, a wealthy farmer near Washington, Ind.

Notwithstanding this and the fact that twenty canal years’ possession sold gives a valid title, the trustees the property and rights and franchises to « the railroad company. When the road came to be built, however, the farmers refused to allow the line to cross their farms, but the company raised a force and completed the road. In 1885, Palmer got a perpetual injunction, and under it he is arresting the train hands from day to day as they try to run trains across hia laud, and seems to be in a fair way to stop operations on the road.
