[ Special Tele gram to the Br.i : . ] Just twenty-eight days have .elapsed since the hanging at Charles City of Chester Bellows , the murderer of Alice Waterman. To people of West Union to-day seemed but a holiday. Despite the storm , business and professional men from neighboring towns and villages and rural In habitants for many miles uround poured Into the city ; anxiously hoping that they might be afforded an opportunity to witness the re- ] > cllaiit Bpectaclo. Thirty hours prior to the execution all was In readiness. The gallows used in. the execution pt Bellows was modeled after the one used in Chicago to hang the anarchist * and was erected inside a hlgli board enclosure. Over the drop swung the small yet famous hangman's rope that four weeks ago had done such excellent service the rope on which Llngg was to have been hung. ThU morning all hopes of a reprieve or commutation wore gone. Among the leading men of the city nnd country words of pity mingled with fooling of regret were ex tended toward Iho-crimlual who was HO soon to hang pity because of his youth nnd regret because of the committal of a crime holncous to the mind. At an early hour n sijuad from Company G. Fourth regiment I. N. O. , were stationed uround the enclosure to keep back Iho seem ingly morbid crowd , which , on account of the extreme cold , was changed every ten minutes. Schmidt passed n very uncomfortable ) night , Bleeping but littlu. At an early hour ho arose and ute a heavy breakfast and smoked a cigar. A 10:15 : those having tickets wore admitted to the enclosure. AtlO'j : : > the roll of jurymen wns called and at 10yo ; the pro cession npHnred | on the scaffold. The sheriff announced that his prisoner desired to speak , and as ho stood up on the fatal drop , Schmidt , la a low , but firm voice , said : "Gentlemen , you all know I have been convicted of murder. I was induced to commit the crime by Ellis T. Smith. Ho talked to me about it nt trie bars and said ho would give a mo fMW. I said I would go iflio would go with mo and when the moon was down wo went over together. When we got there ho told me to go In and loot | Leonard , us I know where ho was fcloeplng' . I.did shoot and Mr. Leonard said : 'I am shot. " I wont out and Smith told mete tret Bomo hay nnd set a 'fire , which I did. When Mr. Peek came out to gut water Mr. ' Smith'said to mo to shoot. 1 shot , but did not intend to shoot him. Then Mr. Peek came out with a lantern and Mr. Smith told mo to stand at the window und'ho would go after Mr , Peek. While I was at the window somebody tried to get out and I shot , but whether I hit anyone 1 don't know. Pretty soon somebody came running toward the house nnd I ran , too , and wo went homo to gether. The * next morning Mr. Smith said that when I wanted the $500 all I had to do was to ask for It , but that I had better stay with him until they cot done talking about it. I have no hard feelings against anybody and and as I hope , to bo' forgiven by God I hope to bo forgiven by you. " As ho spoke the last sentence his lips trembled slightly , but otliorwiso ho exhibited not a sign of weakness , dying game. The noose was adjusted and the cap drawn over his head nnd nt ltr ( ) : : the drop fell , and with out a struggle other than a slight movement of the lower limbs , caused by muscular con traction , his llfo passed out. Doctors Robinson , Patterson , Darnal and AiiiHWorth at once took charge of the body to note the pulse and in ten minutes announced Its cessation. The body has bwn removed to tha town hull , awaiting funeral services and burial Sunday. [ Press. ] Henry Schmidt was hanged this morning for the murder of Luerotia Peck on the 4th of September , 188(1. ( Ho made a statement on the scaffold admit ting the murder , nnd charging that Ellson I. Smith instigated it and was present at the time , and that Smith killed Abrnin Peok. His last words were : "As I hope to bo forgiven of God , I hope to bo forgiven of mou. " The drop foil at 10'M : and in six and three-quarters minutes Schmidt was dead. His neck w'as broken and ho died without a struggle. . ' At midnight Schmidt laid down but did not sleep very soundly. At 7 o'clock this morning ho arose and nto a hearty breakfast. His two aunts and a clergyman called on him and found him quito cheerful. The clergy man prayed with him and then gave him his blessing. The morning was bitterly cold and u cuttlng'wind wns blowing when the olllcers nnd prisoner appeared ujKm the scaffold. Schmidt addressed n few words to the few spcctators-who were admitted to witness the execution. Ho said he wished all to know that he admitted the commission of tlio crime , but charged that lillson T. Smith instigated it. Ho said Smith offered him $500 to kill Abrnm Leonard , and bo agreed to do it if Smith would go with him. Smith agreed to this and they went together to Peek's house and ho went inside and shot Leonard. Thou Smith told him to go nnd get some haywhich ho did , and attempted to set the house ou lire. When Pock got up , Smith told him ( Schmidt ) to shoot him. He shot at him , but missed him ; then Peek put the fire out and Smith told him to guard the house nnd ho ( Smith ) would go nnd finish Peek. After this was done both left the place. Next morning Smith told him that ho would get the money that was promised him , and that ho should not say anything. Ho promised to keep quiet. The prisoner's cloning words were : "I thank you , j nticmen. nnd I want to say that ) , hfivo no hard feelings against anybody , nnd ns I how | to bo forgiven of God , I iiono to bo forgiven by you , too. " Through out ills speech his voice was calm and at its close ho walked on the trap with a firm trend. Tlio white cap was placed over his head , the rope adjusted and nllO:3Titho : drop foil. There was n convul sive quiver and a slight contraction of the muscles , but no struggle whatever. At six and threo-quarter minutes from the time the drop foil ho was pronounced dead. The body wus allowed to hang fifteen minutes longer and was then taken down and placed In the jail corridor , where it wns examined by n physician , who pronounced the neck broken. The body will bo turned over to his nunt , Who will take charge of the burial. The ex ecution was witnessed by Judge Hatch , who presided at the trial , and by the Jury , us re quired by law , Iho clerk of the court , the county attorneys and a few vlsltmp sheriffs mid reporters. Schmidt's dylnj ! declaration , which was In perfect acconl with his confession nnd with every statement mudo by him since ho llrst confessed , ha ? done much to lead public opinion to the bellol that ho was not alone in planning the mur der. Still , however , there nro some whc stoutly maintain that ho was alone In 'tin crime nnd clto the fuel of the boy's provloti' life and also that his father committee murder in Bavaria , a fact that has beer substantiated by thorough investigation. Kllson T. Smith , who was tried for tin snmo crime on Schmidt's confession and wa < acquitted , has gone to Kansas. An nntoiwy was held on the remains tlili afternoon. The brain weighed forty-foui ounces and the top of the head was quid noticeably flattened making the transversi dinmotcr greater than the normal. The live : wns very much enlarged and showed u sllgh sear but the cause of it could not bo ascer tallied. The body was placed in the to\vi hall. T.ho funeral takes place Sunday.

' /SSS / liu'jamet Qhnlnn ntnnttt\ \ Jan. 1ft. [ New York Herald Cubic Special _ to the Bir. : . ] Was there ver ujiy Intrigue between the conservative leaders and UMJ Parnnlllteal Lord Salisbury says no. The Parnellltes have often said yes , and they say it still whenever they get a chance. That overtures Were made from ono party to the other cannot well bo denied , for did not the conservative lord lieutenant of Ireland have an Interview with Mr , Par- null In ISsfi , Very different accounts of that interview Imvo been.glvenj The Parnellltes say that everything was conceded , but what was everything in ISsi fell very far short of the Gladstonlan bills. The torlos were un doubtedly willing to extend local government to Ireland , but I have an excellent reason for stating that n c-perato parliament with an independent executive was not sug- geste'd at any Interview botwt'en ' the tory louder and Mr.Parncll'or his chief lieuten ants. It was only when the elections of ISsS left the Purnellltes in control of the house that this concession was decided on by Mr. Gladstone. More thun once in the house startling revelations huva been promised or threatened , but they never came. The nego tiators probably misunderstood'each other on both sides. Lord Salisbury knew nothing about the matter , all through. That much can bo most positively stilted , but how much , after all , does it signify what took place two nnd a half years ago ! The question for sensible men Is , how far is It possible to g < j , novy toward meet ing the Irish claims. I know many unionists , conservatives Included , who would be quito willing to abolish the lord lieutenant , shut up the castle and place tlio general control of Irish affairs in Irish hands. Everybody rec ognizes the absurdity- sending to parlia ment at Westminster every tlmo a town Is to bo drained or new roads mado. The whole of such business should bo done in Ireland by men selected by the people , by country boards or some other contrivance. Ucprcson- tatlvo bodies in Ireland should manage all purely Irish affairs : So far the conserva tives , not a few in number , nro quite prepared to go. I hear that powers of this kind are to be entrusted to now county boards to bo created in England and Scot land under the forthcoming local govcrn- mmt bill. Instead'of requiring railroad and imilar bills to bo passed through parliament , oeal authorities elected by popular Buffrugc , vill bo empowered to deal with them. Every ocality will thus decide on its own roads , ater supply , sewerage system and other iiisliiess. This will bo nothing less than a evolution. Nearly all private bill legisla- ion will bo taken from parliament and iimled ever to bodies bearing some resem- laticc , though on a limited scaleto state leg islature in America. Will there bo no jobbery when a new railroad is to be made no strik ers , no lobbyists , no underground work In my direction ) Perhaps not. Wo can only iiopo for the best. Well , would Ireland bo ontent with any such concessions as these I There's the rub. It has been offered n par- 'lament and government of Its own. Will it : ukolessl Not until It is proved that the Irst offer cannot bo repeated. That is what Lord Salisbury is aiming nt when ho repu- .llatcs homo rule in Bueh emphatic terms. But ho does not shut the door on local gov- jrnmcnt. A parliament on college green , nnd : in Irish executive , ho refuses to grant. True , Ireland is to bo excluded from the op eration of the new local government bill , but the Irish lenders nro willing to accept , I mppo.se the exclusion could soon bo rem edied. There is perhaps n basis for a com promise. It is for others to say whether it iffords an acceptable solution of the difficulty. The C own Prince's Condition. Bnitu.v , Jan. 13.

Over ono hundred printers , a third of all the union printers hero , have been on the Courier-Journal pay roll. To-night.aU these oxctipt six are on a strike. The strike against the job o Dices In progress several weeks , was largely sup ported by these men by a 10 per cent assess ment. They will now need to bo supported , and another assessment of printers through out the country must bo made. Already ap plications from twice the number necessary to fill cases have bceii received. W. N. Hldeman , president of the Courier-Journal company , said this afternoon : "I will give any good man who wants to come back a chance. But we cannot bring men Iwro from other cities nnd give them only temporary - rary employment. After lllo'cloek to-morrow morning the men will be at their cases to stay. Any of the old men wishing to return must do so before that hour. From this tiuio on this Is u non-union office. " Settle Their DlrTeronccs. CHICAGO , Jan. 13.

[ Now York Herald Cable Special to the Bnn.WIIolders of the mys teries of French law1 Tfovo doubtless boon rather startled to hear that the Anglo-Amer ican Telegraph comnajiy has won a decisive victory over the French Cable company. It was stated hero that the Cotnpaglno Fran- cuiso hud been condehiij d on all iwlnts nnd ordered to pay 2,000 if.t\nc3 \ , a day damages from the tlmo of leavjqg the Anglo-Amer ican pool nnd ordered to resume working re lations with that bni'dflcieut ring without delay. ( J" Wns it true ! To clear the matter up the Herald corre spondent called ou Count Dillon to-night nt his house In the Neville. "What truth Is there in the story published regarding the decisive defeat of the French Cable company ! " asked the correspondent. "Very little , " replied Dillon. "Tho Tri bunal do Commerce baa decided against the French company , that Is trno enough , but the decision will uo appealed against and the court of appeals Is sure to upset it. I was chiefly instrumental in founding the French company. Its object wns to make Franco independent of the existing pool lines. To guarantee this independence the following clause was Inserted In the concessions granted to the company by the French gov- rnmcnt : The French company shall not orm an alliance or fusion of Interests with a trans-Atlantic cable company unless by the xpressed authority nnd permission of the Vouch government.1 On these terms the 'rench ' company was started. At the : ud of n certain time the eleven pool com panies Invited the French company to join heir directorate , disregarding the prohlbi- ory clause In its concessions. To this It greed and the French company remained in ho pool till 1SSO , when a quarrel arose bo- ween the directors and shareholders of the 'rench concern nnd a new board of directors vas appointed. This naturally caused much xcitcment , and to quiet public opinion the iiiinster of posts mid telegraph requested the . Vouch company to produce tlio text of Its Contract with the pooling companies. The text wns shown. After having carc- ully examined the clauses , the government aw that the contract was in flat contradie- ion with the conditions on which the French ompany had been permitted to lay its cables nd ordered the company to comply strictly vitli the terms of its concession. The French ompany did what It was compelled to do. t transmitted the government order to the Kol. ) The companies informed them that it vas obliged to withdraw from the ring. " "How did the pool take the announce- nent ! " "A reply came in the shape of a summons rom the Anglo-American Telegraph com- lany to appear before the Paris tribunal of lommercc. This tribunal , I should explain , s not a court of law at.all , but a kind of a ourt of arbitration whoso decisions have no iliidlng effect and can Always bo appealed rom. " "What was the rcsuitJ , ? | "The tribunal beganby , declaring Itself in competent to settle < i u case which vas the outcome " of an order of the governjncnt. It went m to say that pending n decision by a conipe- ent Jurisdiction the French company would lave to pay 2,000 , francs'fi day to the Anglo- American company , counting from the Imo when it had withdrawn from the pool. " "And you say you will appeal I" "Yes , " said Dillon , "the case will bo re moved to the court of appeals , where wo shall certainly bo supported by the govern ment , whoso orders the" French company has obeyed. " - "You don't seem uneasy about the final result ! " 'Not In the least. Tlio future of the French company is safe enough if the gov ernment will see its independence respected. Our shareholders are not alarmed. " "Ono more quest ion. Cannot the pool re move the case to the .English courtsj" "The pooling companies have tried to get at us in the English courts already , " replied lount Dillon , "but it was no use. Their so- .icitors told them that no English judge or courts would think of interfering with a de cision made by a government , We are not anxious. " Texas Train Hobhcr * Caught. NEW YOIIK , Jan. 13.

Freaks of Congressmen. Lowislon Journal : It is well known that tlio senators and congressmo n write their own biographies that ap pear in the Congressional Directory. Tin's fact makes them all the more in teresting. The statesmen are allowed in a general way to say what they please , but thoi-o are instances where the compiler of the directory has to do some pretty thorough pruning. One Arkansas congressman wrote in answer to the usual reucst | what would have filled a dozen pages of the directory. He gave a full history of his and his wife's families , the nharaclnr- isticsof his children , tlio names of the husbands and wives and children of those married , and introduced several illustrated sketches or incidents in bear and bee and coon hunting. Ho intro duced a poem on spring , written by his second oldest son , gave the names of two young fellows , rivals for the hand of his 'daughter , named "Pink , " and de scribed the distress she was milToring ever the question of which she should choose. The compiler cut the "biog raphy" down to eighty linos. A Jvoiitueky congressman in his biog raphy described a stock farm owned by ' him , 'mimed the horses , and gave their pedigrees , records and prices. An other Koiituuklan mentioned , among event * of his eventful life , the mmiboi of flglitb ho had boon in. anil gave do- horiplions of two , in each of which he had killed a man , and truvo the iiiiinct of the men he had slaughtered.

A congressman fron Iowa sent in his biography in vorao , ani very bud verso , too. Another from tin. same state btatcd that he was living separate from his wife , but in a detailei statement laid all the blame upon her and appealed to his brother congress men to overlook the InaUor , and to tin speaker not to allow himself to be in fluenced by it in assigning him to Com mittees.

It looks as If both men vero looking for n sure thing and both were ifrald they would miss It , consequently the rouble. The facts In the case are that sev eral weeks ago McCurdy and Whlttakor met n this city and signed articles for n five-mile ace , the stakes at. the time being named as 'from f-V'OO to $ r , WO a side , " The supposition Is quite general uow that ho race was arranged to get whatever gate noncy might bo taken in.

Tlmo. ran on until yes- erday , when the slakes wore increased to W,4H ( ) a sido. Whittaker was on hand last light , ready for the race , notwitstanding its wheel tuul been found plugged during the ifternoon. McCurdy finally refused to rldo mil the se.hemo of his backers to prevent , ho race was carried out. Suddenly the ights in the rink were turned out , the ro- 'ereo decided Whittaker as winner and Mr. Wood , who hold the stakes , turned the money over to Tanner. The latter made $3 , 100 out of the deal. " 1 could see no way out of the matter thane o turn the money over to Tanner , " said Mr. Wood this morning. "These follows came icro with the purpose to do up Tanner and other Minneapolis men. They bought up Whit- .aker to throw the race because they know : hat ho could beat McCurdy. Wliittakor had an agreement in his pocket , signed by Mo- Curdy's backers , in which they promised to ; ivo him S'4f > 00 to throw the raco.
