I he day before the execution Ferry's little children v..to t iken i to see him for the last time and j the scene was one that would melt a heart o, atone. ! I A telegram thus describes this pathetic occurrence: j Perry was this morning, as he has been every morning, calm land deliberate, until his children arrived at the jail and were admitted to his cell, llis oldest son was not in the party, but his four younger chi 1^ ron, accompanied by their aunt, Miss Corley, were taken to him. The condemned man talked to them tpiietly for some time, although he was making a strong ell'ort to conceal his emotion. I > The little children did not realize the seriousness of the situation. They knew their aunt was deeply troubled and that somo great sorrow was upon ihe mind of tiieir father, but their innocent minds could not grasp the horrible truth, and they were spared the , suffering of the older persons. Perry retained his nerve until the children started to leave his cell. As his little boy, a child of six, walked to the door, he said : "He a good boy, son," and then a wail that made all in hearing shudder, came from the cage as Perry saw his children leaving. With heads bowed in sorrow, caused by they knew not what, the children following their aunt, walked into the jailor's office. Standing wit.li bis face itcninc* I the heaw door of iron barn Perry ! cried aloud in his anguish, and hih strong frame trembled a*- he gave way to his foelings that had l to that time been so well conceal* 3 led. "(>h, (iod, have mercy upon my ,! children," he cried again and 5! again, as he pressed against the ': cage door in a last efFc.rt to see | them.

For fifteen minutes Perry lay upon his I cot Robbing like a child, with a * group of prisoners peeping j through the liars at him. < >ne (if . them laughed, not at Perry, but for some unknown reason, and l orn ('yrus, who is in jail for killing his mistress, demanded sij lenee, which quickly followed, r Perry was not long in recovering his composure, but, when ho attempted to talk to a .Journal he again lost control of himself, and between sobs said ; "< >h, to think that 1 am to be taken 1! awav from them so soon. To think that 1 am to be made to leave my wife and my children, and all to " satisfy the wicked llesh. May (?od have merry on the man who , in doinc this." t As if apprehensive that some \ one would think him in fear of I death. Perry suddenly stood ereet and said : lI have no foar of death "TERF PTKMBHR 13, 1897. for myself, but 1 am thinking of my poor wife and my little children, who will bo left without me.

Illinois Voted Solidly Against the Settlement Scheme?Ten Days in Which to Begin Work. Columbus, <)., Sept. 11.?The great miners' strike which was declared on duly I, was brought to an en<l this evening so far, at least, as Westeren Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia are concerned, by the action of l tie interstate convention of miners, which iias been in session here since Wednesday. After a day of voting and wrangling, the convention adopted a resolution accepting the proposition of the Pittsburg operators. The vote was : ll?.*) for and .'117 against accepting the terms of settlement. The delegates from Illinois, who had 250 votes, were unanimous against a I settlement. Indiana and West Virginia voted solidly to accept the operators' proposition, but there were scattering votes among i the Ohio and Pittsburg delegates l against it. The proposition accepted provides for (15 cents in Pittsburg district, all other places where a relative price can be obtained to resume work and contribute liberally to the miners who do not receive the advance at which 1 places tho light is to continue to a ,l?ittor finish. While 10 days is provided for the miners to resume work, it is probable that many of the (?hio and Pittsburg mines will be reopened Monday. Some of the Illinois delegates are bitter in their denunciation of the action of the convention? they claim their ieterests have not been given due consideration.
