The Lowest of any local paper on basis of

Still Kicking.
Sinai-ting under the loss of his posi-
tion as principal of the evening schOols
of Norwalk, the editor of the Hour
this morning shies bricks at about
everybody and everything. In the
course of his “spells” he accuses the
GAZETTE of being cowardly in publish-
ing the communication signed “A-meri-
one.” and has the brass to insinuate
that the GAZETTE does not dare attack
the editor of the Hour openly. This
information coming from such a source
is indeed ludicrous as we have a faint
recollection of having some years since
shown that editor up, and we are not
aware that it was by inuendo either,
but then the hide of some people is
so thick that a Gatling. gun will not
penetrate it.
The Grip.
The grip, that low-down measley dis-
ease is with us again. For three win-
ters we have endured its tortures.
Thrice we have hidden it farewell, hop-
ing never to see it again, but with the
advent of cold weather with its bright
wntry moonlight, glowing hearths and
Christmas pies, comes the grip. As
we have said, it is a low-down measley
disease; it hits one in the back of the
ii ck 'with a forty-pound pain that stays
there longer than a Mugwumps opin-
ion. From the "boss” pain little pains
shoot into the elbow and fingers crip-
pling them so that one can’t pick up
money or write love letters. Stubborn
pains get'into the knees which interfere
with one’s devotional gonnfle‘ctions.
The grip makes one feel miserable,
despair seizes the soul, and life doe.»n’t
seem worth the living. This beautiful
world with its bright sunshine, sweet
flowers and hard dollars, becomes an
object of loathing and detestation.
The grip is no respector of persons or
conditions, unlike the hay—fever, which
only attacks persons whose means allow
them to flee to the mountains, the grip,
with the same blow, smites the proud
mistress of the lowly mansion and
knocks out the k tchen hustler. The
. railroad president falls before it, and it
breaks up the humblest brakeman. In
short, it hits everyone, regardless of
race, color or previous condition of
servitude. Here is a chance for Dr.
K-elvy, who has knocked out King
Alcohol with bi chloride of gold. per-
haps the Doctor might get up a bi
chloride of dynamite which would de-
molish Czar grip. Let us hope he will
turn the search-light of his intellect
upon this problem, and when you have
triumphed. Doctor, don’t forget to send
a sample case to this office.

They have been distilling liquors for the
Jewish holiday trade, and have been doing

J., the oldest engineer on the W :st
Share R R. suffered for yea-rs from an
aggravated kidney trouble and dyspep-
sia. In conVersation with our reporter
Mr. Huston spoke 'in glowing terms of
Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Rem-
‘edy. "I had been under the treatment
of some of the best physicians,” said
Mr. Huston, “and used many prepara-
tions without deriving the least benefit.
One day Conductor Frazer of our road
said to me, ‘if you want to get well and
cure that kidney trouble and dyspepsra
just use Dr. Kennedy’s FaVorite Rem-
edy.’ I acted upon his advice, and
used Favorite Remedy , but a short
while, “when my old troubles pass-ed
away and I hang been sound and well
ever since ”
One of N orwalk’s physicians recently
said: “I prescribe Dr. Kennedys Fav-
orite Remedy for dyspepsia. kidney, or
liver complaints, rheumatism, and all
urinary diseases, instead of the old time
medicines, as the results are quicker
and more satisfactory. I’believe every
dyspeptic or rheumatic victim, should
use it.”

the Verdict Vials Delivered.
CHICAGO, Dec. 30.——Patrick Eugene
Joseph Prendergast slept last night for ,
the first time with a. death watch over ‘
him, and unless the law shall intervene
to stay the execution he will not be ob-
scure from the eyes of one of the death
watchers amcnieut until he is lead out
to the gallows, to pay with his life for his
brutal murder of Mayor Carter Harrison.
lie endeavors to appear unconcerned as
to his fate, but it is plain to see that the
verdicthas entirely unnerved the miscr-
ztble wrctcli. ' A.
The verdict of the jury 'was agreedupon

Prendcrgast “crossed” himself
when it was announced. but uttered no
word. ‘ , _' -
The morning of the. lndfigfiay of the trial
was allotted to Alfred S. Trude. who
pleaded eloquently for justice and argued
concisely to conviiicc the twelve I mm be.-
forc him that the xvi-etch knew he v as
committing a crime when he took the life
of the lawyer’s friend. Judge Breutauo
folldwed, with instructions to the jury——
lengthy. but explicit, providing for every
contingency or doubt which might arise
in the minds of those who were Prender-
gust’s judges. The text of oil verdicts for
and against the prisoner which could be
rendered in his cuscvwas-s given to the "9
persons, and they retired. -
Prcndergast sat sullen through this
last scene but one in the. trial. He
was hemmed in by officials of thclaw,
who had no sympathy for him, and lur-
iilC!‘ away sat well-dressed mon {ti-d
women, who came to hear the eloquent
Trude. The. contempt for the, ugly-faced
assassin may have been tempered with a
little pity, but their hearts were steelcd
to a. verdict of guilty and d oath.
\Vhilethe judge was reading his care
fully prepared instructions the prisoner’s
face betrayed the keenest anxiety. His
open mouth twitched nervously and he
turned his ill-shaped head at every sound
coming from the entrance to : the crowded
courtroom after the jury had: retired. He
was fearful of a. speedy agreement, as he
realized that would be significant-50f a
“guilty” verdict. After a while he was
taken back to his cell in the jail and the
tension which had kept the men and wo-
men subdued was relaxed. The silence
which was only broken by quiet conversa-
tion gave placc to lighthearted talk in
every portion of the courtroom. The cp~
pressive presence of the prisoner no longer
served to remind them of death and the
ghastly gallows. The Harrison family
was represented by Preston Harrison, son
of the murdered man. Neither Prender—
gast’s mother or brother was in the court-
room during the closing scene.
Nobody was expecting the return of the
jury for a few hours.
Suddenly, in the midst of general con-
versation and laughter, came a baliif’s
shrill voice calling, “Take seats now, gen-
tlemen.” The ’meaning of the order
was well‘ understood. It had the ef-
fect of an electric shock. “That
means guilty, sure.” “It’s a. hanging.”
were the words which passed from mouth
to mouth. Every eye was turned towards
the door and the buzz of conversation
died away. Instead, a solemn stillness
pervaded the chamber. From the-door
came a. procession of stern—faced men.
Judge Brentano led the way followed by
the jury and bailiffs.
Deputiy sheriffs had a minute or two be...
fore been dispatched across “the bridge of
sighs” to the jail with orders to bring in
the prisoner.

Prendergast advanced slov‘vly to 11:}: seat.
Jail clerk Ben Price, ‘who accompanied
the assassin, urged him to “brace up and
keep your mouth shut.” I’rciidcrgast
obeyed the latter injunction- only. His
bravado and vanity had find The mask
had been torn from his face-by fear of an
adverse verdict, and he stood before the
court and jury. naturally—a. cringing
coward, afraid to hear his doom pro-
nounced.
The silence was oppressively intense. It
was broken by the voice of Judge Bron-
tanosaying: "Have you agreed upon a
I verdict, gentlemen?”
“Vi-’9. have, Your Honor. replied Foreman
JpSuttcr, handing the fatal document to
the judge, who transmitted it to the clerk.
That officer quietly open ed it in the ihidst
of breathless suspense and read as follows:
“W’e, the jury, find the defendau ' Put—
rick Eugene Pre-iidcrgast, guilty of mur-
der in the manner and form as charged in
the indictment, and we. fix his punishment
at death.” .

inun form.
The effect of the death verdict kept the
spectators silent. No one rose to go.
Quickly the guards todk hold of the trem-
bling prisoner and were hurrying him
back to the jail when the voice of Judge
Brentano was heard again.
“Bring the prisoner back,” he cams
' mauded, and the condemned creature who

Prendergast did not sit down the Second
time. He stood pale amd---terror-strl¢l§en
close to his chair, stretching his hand but
for support on the wall while a. guard held
the other. After the removal of the guilty
wr'etch Attorney Wade entered a. formal
motion for a new trial, which will . be
argued next week. Then the crowd quiet-
lyndispersed. Preston Harrison was the
first to approach Mr. Trude and thank him
' earnestly for his able services and personal
