THURSDAY, APRIL 10,1879.

THE ANTEDELUVIAN ARM CHAIR.

FRIENDSHIP AMONG WOMEN. The various conventions and associations that area marked feature ofwomen's work of the present day, are developing, one element of happiness of inestimable value true, earnest friendship among women. Too often ladies have eschewed sincere friendship of a satisfactory, substantial kind for the frivolous, meaningless, empty shadow, often probably, from sheer indolence and thoughtlessness.

Changes come so rapidly in 60ci. ty thai it requires a degree of alertness to keep hold of friends and preserve an interest in their memories.

Friendship is, however, too valuable an adjunct to every day happiness to be lightly trifled with—it should be tenderly, sacredly cherished, even as the memory of the loved ones—dead. The hearts of friends should be knit together in love and in lull assurance of understanding." "Be ye kindly affectioned, in honor prefering one another." "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for friends to dwell together in unity." "Be ye courteous, given to hospitalitv," &c., "&c. These are Divine commands not sickly scntimeiUalisnas from the last dime novel. Friendship should be one of the highly prized and incorruptible pleasures ol existence. It may be, per-

haps often is, considered naught but a name, a charm that lulls to sleep." Honest, loving friendii should be cherished and jealously guarded from distrrst, envy, selfish carelessness and especially too great familiarity. "The man who hails you Tom or Jack"

Aud proves by thumps upon your back llow ho esteems aur merit, is such a frieud, that one had need^f|s?

Be very much his friend indeed, i|& To pardon cr to boar it." xm .! There is in every heart a germ that if developed will ripen into a friendship pure and free from suspicion or fear, trusting and restful, that can give strength and joy through all the "wearying ill* that flesh is heir to." We see great sympathy often expresssed for physical pain sympathy for mental trials is often of tar greater value. "How sweet, how cheering, and what exquisite delight it affords to pieet an appreciative glance of approval from a valued iriend. A silent grasp of the hand is, from such an one, far more strengthening in times when heart burdens must be borne, than all the rolling of the eyes, oh's and ah's and sighing, profuse chattering and exclaiming of surface people. The silent, weary, sad ones of earth may be rait ed to rejoice by a friendly, encouraging word, or a little timely health. True men and women should be brave and self-reliant not taxing others.

Cherishing kindly feelings by all would soon do away with much sharp antagonistic railing of women against men and men against women (which, to say the least, is becoming rather stale, if not unprofitable.) A Jfew years ago it wa6 the fashion to advise women, especially young wives, to be agreeable, smile if !*the heavens fell," when her master (often yclept "Hubby, dear") entered, to make home lovely un

der all circumstances, and then, keep still and be happy! There are illustrious examples of life time friendships, between women ako between men and women. Hanna Moie, Mrs. G&rrick Lady Montague, Dr. Johnson, Garrick, and a host of others, enough to prove that there is reality in friendship. David and Jonathan are memorable examples and Ruth kissed her mother-in-law.

Men and women often ward eff, as it were, a true-hearted, loving friend for a mere trifle, a difference upon political or religious subjects, or the unfashionable cut of a gown, the veriest trifles. The vain and proud ate often cruel, with the subtle cruelty of the Asp. Therefore we should all hail with joy the friendkhipu developed by this co-working for the good ot ail.

READTHIS, GIRLS.

Learn to darn stockings neatly", and then always see that your own are in order. I)o not let a button beoffveur shoes a minute longer than needful. It takes just about a minute to sew one on, and oh, how much neater a toot looks in a trimlv buttoned boot than it does in a lop-sided affair with half the buttons off. Every girl should learn to make the simple articles of clothing. We know a little girl of seven who could do all thin and who also made the whole of a blue calico dress for herself, and pieced a large bed quilt. She was not an overtaxed child, either, but a merry, romping, indulged, only daughter. But she was "smart," and she did not die young either. Indeed we have seldom known children "too smait to live." Very few ever die of that complaint, whatever their grandmothers may think.

So never be afraid a bit of overdoing the business. Help all you can and studyover the business daily. Once get in the habit of looking over yi ur thing?, and you will like it wonderfully. You will have the independent feeling that you need not wail for any one's convenience in repairing and making, but you can be beforehand with all such matters. The relief to your weary mother will be more than yo*.' can ever estimate.

THE LATEST SOCIETY WHIMS. It seems that whist parties before dinner and recitations after it are the order of the day in London at present. Happening to call the other afternoon on a lady in Belgravia, says "Atlas," in the London World, "to my surprise, on being ushered into the drawing-room, I found no less than five whist tables going, half the players at which were ladies and I am bound to Hay, from my subsequent experience, they had a very formiable knowledge of how and when to play the correct card. A.s to the recitations, it is now quite an ordinary occurrence for a lady or gentleman '.o get up in the course of the eveniug to recite 'something.' Recitations are a decided improvement on a'round game'at cards after dinner."

A MULING WOMEN. From Forney's Progress.

At first the women of France were obliged to keep their habit a secret, but duritig the reigns of Louis XIV. and XV. they became iess timid, and the wives of great men engaged in the deepest play at their housees. "Such women." says La Brugiere, "make us men chaste they have nothing of the sex but its garments." I have myself seen women at the gam-ing-tables in Europe one who was young, handsome an j, elegantly attired would be so absorbed in the play that her face had become rigid and the eyes fixed, and we were told that there she sat, day after day, not even exceipting the Sabbath.

NOTES ABOUT WOMEN.

One of the successful miners of Nevada i$ a woman, Mrs. Murphy, wife of Foreman Murphy of the Alexander mine.'

The Duke of Connaught, when he went down to the yacht to meet his Prussian bride, gave her a frank kiss, which was loudly applauded by the crowd on %hore Then he kissed his prospective mother-in-law, ar.d there were more cheers.

A SCHOOL OF ORATORY.

Misses Julia and Annie Thomas, of New York, have taken a large and elegant house on Twenty-sixth 6treet, NewYork, where they propose to open a school of oratory. In this school a thorough knowledge of the English language, us correct use, expression, and power, will be taught, also gymnastics, with lectures and everything pertaining to a complete preparation for the stage or pldtlorm.

A Marshall County (Iowa) paper has the following complimentary notice of a woman Recorder: "Among the best county officials is Miss Jennie Tuflrie, the Deputy Recorder, fathful as the sun, she is the real officer and helps Capt. Messenger through all his difficulties, as he is a crippled soldier. She has been deputy for over over three years."

Lovers of pillo-v laces may be interested in the following divi.ion into styles: Mediaeval, with its grotesque groupn, monsters and trees, down to 1550 geometrical, with its squares and circles, from 1550 to 1620 Renaissance, with its flowing wreaths and garlands from 1620 to 1720 rococo, with its stiff and disconnected boquet and flowers, from 1720 to 1770

and

dotted, with its small flowers,

"tears" and bees from 1770 to 1S10.

One day last week a man named Seagraves, living near Zanesville, in this county, dreamed three times in succession that some gold was buried in a certain place, and the dreams having' made such an impression on his mind he con| cluded to test the matter, and discovered buried in a quinine bottle eleven hundred dollars ot the yellow metal. It is supposed to haVe been buried there several years ago by Dr. Thompson, now dead, who once lived in the place.—[Holly Springs Register

Mr. D. R. Locke (Petroleiim V. Nasby") has written a play founded upon the celebrated "Widow Bedott Papers," using the widow herself, "Tim Crane" and "Elder Sniffles," who are familiar figures with those who have read the book but adding some new and otiginal ones.

Execution of the Death Sentence Today,

Review of the Case and Full Account of the Execution.

Special to (lie GAZETTE: Newport, Ind., April 3rd, 1879. NEWPORT where the execution took place to-day, is a quiet village of about twelve hundred inhabitants, situated thirty miles north of Terre Haute on the E. T. H. $L C., in Vermillion County, two miles west of the Wabash river There was nothing \o indicate that it was to be the scene of an execution—no appearance of excitement among the people.

The jail has more the appearance of a SCHOOL HOUSE than a prison. WALTER WATSON, the criminal, was a man of medium size, light complexion and auburn hair. He was born at Highland, Virmillion county, March 20, -852, and joined the M. E. church while quite young. His mother died when he was fourteen years ol age. He afterwand joined the same church at a different place, but was never received into full membership and in '76 entered the Missionary Baptist church, Melt township, Vermillion County. H« was married on Christmas day, 1877, to Miss Mary E. Sharp, who belonged to the same church, and for sometime they lived an exemplary christian life, but was expelled because of his belief in

CLOSE COMMUNION.

Shortly after the death of his mother his fatner broke up hou sekeeping and the children were left to shift tor themselves. Walter worked at farming and did some carpentering and was generally so well liked that he remained a considetable time in one place. He called Mr. Ford's, where he had worked nearly two years, his home, being an especial favorite there and always welcome. In disposition he was

OVKRBKARING

and always thought his own way the unly right'one. but he was generous and kindhearted to his friends and never refused to share with tham whatever he ha

He had had several fights in his life, the last one being with one Lon Clark, in Illinois. The difficulty grew out of, a dispute a6 to who should escort a young girl home, and after snapping revolvers cn both feido6 to no effect, they clinched. Walter was victorious and took the girl home. He drank considerably while in Illinois, but reformed after his marriage and was never known to drink any more. '.THTT CRIME, wa6 committed on Friday, the 10th of January last, at Highlaud, a small village 6ix miles south of Newport. The victim was r'

EZRA COMPTON,

and the circumstances of the horrible deed were as follows On the day preceding the murder Watson had bought ofComoton 25 cent's worth of soap, on a few

dkys

time. On the following day

hii younger brother, Florence Watson, who lived with Walter, went to the same store to buy ai axe. lie gave Compton a two dollar bill trom which Compton kept the 25 cents for the soap, mistaking Florence for Walter, a6 he was but slightly acquainted with them. Florence noticed the discrepancy and, thinking he had made a mistake in making change, mentioned it to Compton, who told aim it was for the soap he had bought •.he day before. Florence told him he had not bought the t-oap, that it was his brother, but that it was all right and to just mark it paid. On going home he spoke of the matter to his brother, Walter, and told him he thought it rather thin, to be "buy scap and charge it to him. Walter denied the charge, flew into a terrible rage and declared he would have satisfaction out of Compton. He went into aback room and got his father's revolver and despite the tears and importunities of his wife went on his mission of revenge. She knew his ungovernable temper and feared the worst but was powerless to restrain hfm. He denied having the revolver but she searched him and found it in his inside vest pocket But still he would go. Two miles walk through the bitter cold alone, with all its opportunities for re* flection, had no effect to cool his temer lor abate his thirst for revenge.

On reaching the store he began a tirae 'on Compton about the matter, and demanded why he had caused his brother to pay the money after promising to wait on him till he could get it. Compton explained that it was a mistake, that it he had wronged him he was sorry and willing to make ali necessary apologies.

But this did not appease Watson, and he continued his abuse. Compton offered to return the money lent, this being refused and the abuse still continuing, he picked up a chair and ordered Watson from the store. He hacked out of the door and went around the corner but returned in a moment and putting one feot inside the door said: "DAMN YOU I WILL SHOOT YOU ANY

HOW,"

and fired, the ball, a No. 32, taking effect in Compton's groin, at the base of the stomach, passing through several folds of the intestines. Compton closed the stoije after being shot and then went to' his

home across the street and lay down on the bed. He suffered considerable pain but was perfectly rational and made a full statement of the facts. He died the next day at two o'clock.

After the tragedy Watson returned home making threats of what he would do should Compton follow hitr.. To parties he met on the road home he told with great bravado of having killed Compton and said he had some more pills left for any of Co-npton's friends if they attempted to molest him.

Late in the evening the constable with a posse of seven men went to arrest him. The constable entered the h«u»e alone and told him his errand. .Watson said if he had a mob he would sell his life as dearly as possible, otherwise he would go peaceably. Being informed that they would not harm him he surrendered without resistance.

Having no relatives or friends that desired to take any risk on him he was brought to this place and lodged in jail for safe keeping.

The jury that tried the case was composed of the following men, all good, substantial citizens: WM, COLLETT, J. S. SHANER T. J. STARK, R. C. JONES* SOLOMON HINES, ... J. R. GOUTY, M.J.RUDY, J. R. DUNLAP. WALLACE MOORE, ALFRED CARMACK, WM. C. GROVES. JOHN VAHDUYN,

The jury retired at about 1 o'clock on the second day of the trial, and on the first ballot all voted that Watson was guilty of murder in the first degree, but two of the jurors at first were opposed to inflicting the death penalty. They thought he deserved hanging but thought it would be better to send him to the penitentiary tor life. After discussing the question a few moments they soon consented to yield to the opinion of the majority ana let the severest penalty known to the law be inflicted. When the jury handed in their verdict and it was read by Clerk Gibson, Watson's wife, who sat beside him, clatped her arms around him and wept bitterly, while Watson 6cemtd to be unmoved and took the matter coolly.

A motion was made for a new trial, which was ably argued by his attorneys that evening, but the Judge did not think they had sufficient grounds for their demand, and therefore oreriuled the motion for anew trial. His attorneys then gave theju.'ge notice that they would appeal fiom his decision and take the case to the supreme court. Time was granted them to make out the necessary paper#, and in due time a brief of the trial was forwarded to the higher court. It was submitted to the supreme jiylges on Saturday morning, March theoih, and ruled upon adversely on the next Tuesday.

The only hope then left to save his life from the gallows was to circulate petitions and sec if a pressure could be brought to bear on Governor Williams to grant mercy to the condemned man, and commute his sentence to imprisonment for life. Quite a number signed the petition, and on Friday last his young wife with her little babe, accompanied by J. C. Sawyers, one of his attorneys, went over to interview the Governor, present the petition and beg him for mercy. The Governor refused to interfere with the sentence. ,1

It is a neat, substantial pine frame in the rear of .the jail and so completely enclosed that even from the plattorm the only object visible on the outside was the ball on the cupola of the 6ourt house. The enclosure is thirtytwo feet wide by forty in length and in tended to accommodate one hundred and fifty spectators. The scaffold, ten by twelve feet, the platform, eight feet from the ground and the beam to which the rope was attached fifteen feet high. The trap door was three feet two inches square and its fall was quickened by a spring ball attached to it by means of a rope and pulley. The trap was sprung bv means of a lever at one side. The tall was four feet and a half besides the itretch of the rope. The rope was made at Covington Kentucky, and cost $1000.

LAST NIGHT.

The doomed man slept very little, not retiring till 12 o'clock. His wife was with him till 10 o'clock. His spiritual advisors left at eight. He spent most of the night after 10 o'clock reading his bible. The ministers were with him today. He bore himself about as usual, there being no signs of weakening as the event approached.

THE EXECUTION. Newport, Ind., April 3, '79.

Special Telegram to the GAZETTE: Three o'clock P. M:— The prisoner was led out at 12 :o7, and

the following prayer was offered by Rev. A. W. Wainscott, of the United Brethren church:

Almighty God, we come into thy solemn presence at this time, to call upon thy Holy name, and worship at thy feet As we come to thee, our Heavenly Father, cast us not away from thy presence. and take not thy Hoh Spirit from us. Restate unto us the joy of salvation, and uphold us with thy free Spirit. O! Lord, we learn in thy word that thou didst give thine only begotten. Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eyerlasting life. And if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse from all unrighteousness, Ol God, may Thy presence be with Walter Watson in this time of great need. And we nray Thou wilt not remember the sins of his youth, nor his transgressions according to Thy mercy remember Thou him for Thy goodness sake. O oLord, for thy names' sake O! Lord, pardon his iniquity, for it is great. Look upon his afflictions, and his pain, and forpve all his sins. Deliver him from all his transgressions

WatRon was accompanied by his wife

who wept audibly. He appeared to be

resigned and reasonably self-possessed.

After the prayer his wife kissed him and

said "good-bye Walter" and retired.

Sheriff Dallas the read the death

warrant and asked him if he had any

thing to say. Watson replied that he

had nothing. He was placed on the trap

12:15

and bade the ministers

and others good-bye at 1.2:19. During

the time the rope and cap were being

adjusted he murmured a prayer, "Oh!

Lord have mercy on my soul and save

me in heaven for Jesus sake." ••r'k-.j-The trap was sprung at 12:21 and he

died with but little struggling. His pulse

ceased at nine minutes and heart at fourteen minutes. The neck was unbroken, death resulting from strangulation. The body was cut down at 12136 P. M.

The reporter desires to acknowledge his appreciation of the courtesy extended to him by Mr. Davis, Editor of the Hoosier State and for his assistance in ascertaining the facts connected with the history of Watson and his crime, and also to Sheriff Dailas for his kindness and cordiality.
