MAE'S BY INDIANA BICYCLE uO, ISOASAPOLIB, ISD . Hodges and Goff, A Moutgomery Items. Loyl Bryon Montgomery is to be hanged sometime , tomorrow , the exact time will be announced tliis even ing to those having inviUtioi8 ; but will not be made public, lie Bays he will dio game, and will not be a coward when the time cornea. The sea grass rope for the occasion has been received and is ready for doing its deadly work, it ia to be hoped without a miss, tor hanging ia bad enongh when done smoothly. Ihe rope ia the regula tion ?4 inch. The prisoner it is aaia ill go directly upon tue scaffold from the sheriff's rooms above the jail. Mrs. Mcreron and children are vis ing frienda during 'the eveut, of course not wishing to be present on such an oc casion. Already the hanging lias attracted peo- pio io our city, ana a large roU is looked for tomorrow out of morbid cur iosity. -Sheriff McFeron this morninir nnr. chaved Montgomery's death suit. It as of neat black, diagonal, 38 coat and 82-33 trousers. He will wear a ner whiin shirt and collar aud wili present a neat appearance. Arrangements are beinz mad a by rel atives to take charge of his body aud give it a decent burial iustead of alloaing it to go to a medical col live. He made an earnest request to this effect. However great his guilt this is only right. sheriff McFeron will himself. It will be dnn htr nla.Mno hia foot on a lever at the side of the gallows. It is probable about twentr-ae ner- sons will see the execution. There is a great deal of speculation as to the hour of execution, all kind of stories being circulated. The exact time will be made known to those havirnr cani8 sometime this evening. Nearly all executions are had between the hours of 12 and 2 in the afternoon. On account oi the Haywood execution being between 12 and 2 o'clock at nk'ht nearlv all hours of the nighr after midnight have been set mr una one. i Dr. J . L. Hill has for some time been preparing a work on heredity, and for scientific purposes has called on the con demned man ; but his interview failed to reveal much ia the line desired, though some things. Montcomerv has been anendiow hi last full day on earth to day in a quiet way with less singing and fiddling than usual. He was cool and braced up for the event. To one oi his attorneys he insisted that the McKercher version was correct and declared he would die with that as his last statement: that he onlv gave the other version because bethought wouiu Mvojum irom a earn. lie said he would die bravely and .daring today would keep from excitement as much as possible, which he has done, talking with people less than usual. Every precaution is beiuir taken to make the callows work easilv m uki avoid all possibility of accident A mong mose present are bneriR Johnston, of Lane, and Cathcart, of DougtaB The DenocKAV has : opposed Lovd Montgomery because it had no doubt "of bis guilt and the public safety demands justice for the commission of 'such a ter rible crime.

Fisk, of the corps of United States engineers, of rortland.ye terday;received a copy of the report of the board of engineers, coaaiating of Lieut. Colonel Amos Stickucy, Major J. C.Post, and Major Clinton B. Sears, appointed by President Cleveland, to make an ex amination of the bar of Yaquina bay, with a view to a project for dee peer water. The report was submitted by Chief of Engineers V- P." Craighill, on November 2t, 1895, to Daniel S. Lamont, secretary of war, and by him transmitted to the house of representatives, Decem ber 9. 1893. Pollowing are Borneo the more im- ponaHi statements mane in the report: "The board ia not called upon to ex press any opinion whether a farther permanent deepening . -tit the water on the bar ia practicable; or, if practicable, whether the coo. me ice of the port, prospective, will justify a fur ther expenditure. "The result of the work of ' improve ment has been a net gain of 7 feet in depth of water across the bar, over what it was !iore the work began. The sur vey oi J uly, ibvo, shows a least depth of 14 feet across the bar, the narrowest part vi me cuannei uetweeu me lourteen loot curves tieiog w leet. Tins increase in depth has been obtained at a cost tuu.uoo tibia includes the $25,000 esti mated as neened to completed the pres ent project), or a little over $101,000 a foot. The value of commerce in and out oi the bay for the fiscal year ending June oj, ia:io, was as ioiiows: "The board is of the opinion that if any further permanent deepening of iui3 wr uou uo luaue, it will ue only ny prolonging the present jetties. The. crest oi the bar in front of the jetties which has a minimum depth of "n feet at low water, is now i00 feet in advance of the ends of the je'tiet, anil it is pos sible that the extension of the jellies would of themselves cause an advance of the bor a distance equal to their prolon gation, if there were no other influences at work to modify their action. it therefore seems reasonable to sup pose that any tendency of the bar to re form in an advanced position would he largely counteracted, and that a chan nel of increased depth would be main tained. "The project proposed, therefore, is to extend the north jetty 210J, and the south jetty 2000 fwt. Thev should he parallel, and 1000 feet apart, the distance between Cie ends of the pieent jetties. "The south jetty should have on the channel side groins of riprap every 300 feet, each groin to run fruui grade level at the main jetty, down to mean low wa ter at its free end: the lecs.h of each groin to be determined from time to lime as the work develops. It ia prob able that they w ill have lo be not Itsss than 100 feet in length. Tne object of these groins is t protect the jetty from undermining. Jt may prove necessary, as the work progresses, to buikl similar groins along the north jetty. mined: iiain jetty, 4100 feet long, ai 10 733 (Ml Seven groins, 100 feet long, r 7W leet. at 1100 70.C00 Inside spur, S00 feel long, at 75. tiO.tJOO Removal of detached rock, 2000 cubic Tard. at 12 St.OM For contingent iea, Id per cent. .. 133.SU0 NT YOUR TRADE. to ploase you.

He declared that he was recon ciled and ready to die. The Salvation Army have made him many visits and through than claimed conversion, and he said during the evening that his sins were lorsiven and tie was not afiaul in die. Durum the evening visitors were al lowed free access to the corridor aud the condemned man seemed to enjoy their vaits. Among others were several Brownsville .neighbor. Several hun dred people probably looked through the grate at the unfortunate boy, who laced them with wonderful comp-jsure, not being in the least disturbed by the manner in which they stared at him. In the early part of the evening sev ers! boys were before him, when he re marked: "Trust in GoJ boys, and if ever you go to do wrong remember me." Ami yet during the evening he insist ed that his McKercher version of the murder was correct. Some of bis fellow prisoner remarked to the Desuaui man that he had told this so much that he really believed it. Christian poople and others visiting him persistently tried to induce htm to confeas Ut his version of the murder given before the grand jury; bnt he as persistently adhered to liie McKercher story. ihe 1)kmuceat man had a talk with tbe Fox brothers, who bad known hiui lor lite. They declared that he bad al- ways been like most boys, was good hearted and generous, but had a quick temper and was headstrong.

The execution was well arranged and carried out. con ferring credit on the sheriff and his dep uties. The absence of any slip or re pulsive exhibition was commendable, tmrtng the scene about fifty men wit nessed tne very impressive event, fre quent comments showing their feelines. Among them were a good many strangers, sheriffs from other counties, reporters. etc Among the number was John Mc Kercher, brother of one of the murdered men, a band of crape around bis hat. tie watched the proceedings without anv demonstration, but with apparent satis- laction, and wneu tbe rope was cut was was one of the first to secure a piece, and a good sized one at that. Many followed suit .and the grass rope that stretched ixiyd uryson .Montgomery will be ex hibited in many places in Oregon. The hour had been amicinaieil and a large crowd surrounded the enclosure anxious to be in the presence of death. The body was takeu down, placed on a litter and leit in the courtbotwe for public inspection, many takimr advan tag of it to see the face of tbe perpetra tor of one of the coldest blooded and worst murders in the history of the Pa- ciiic coast. THE ACTOPSV. The brain of the murderer was taken out and given a partial examination by Urs. r.iiis, via'lace. Uavu. Beers. Irvine and Hill, of this citv, Starr, of Browns- yule, and Gustck. of Salem. About three inches 4uare of the brain on ftp oi the cerebrum reaching over each lobe was inflamed, with an ahesion of the mem brane to tbe surface of the brain. What this indicates will cause speculation and no doubt lead to different views. The weight of the brain was average, ounces, aud there was nothing particular out of proportion in the shape. The brain will be preserved by the Albany Med'cal Club, and when il'banl ens sufficiently will be examiLed on the interior as to gray and other matter, ma Lrrrea.

Shulta.Snyder, and Little marched mreugti tbe resi dence rooms of the sheriff directly upon the scaffold. The murderer took his place upon the trap, with great coolness and nerve, and in a strong voice, some what husky made the following state ment : "1 am sorry for what I have done. hope you will forgive me, I want God to have mercy on me a poor sinner." Then Rev. Snyder, of Brownsville, atenned forward and p raved for the man on the trap and that the termination of his life should be an awiul example to Uie risinggeneration. The prayer was some what long, but it did not seem to dis turb the one most interested. Ho cooly raised his head and looked at tbe rope iwu him ami at tha lever on the side. at hia request he had been shown a model of the scaffold about 6 o'clock and was familiar with ita makeup, men ne cooly viewed the audience, but all the time there waa a alight nervousness he could t.ot conceal. At the conclusion of the prayer the sheriff placed the black cap upon his head, when he again cried out : "Good bye, friends, I hope to meet you in heaven. I ask God to take me, a poor .innnr."

While this waa be ing done he cried out : "God have mercy on me a sinner. Take me as I am-" . Aa it was complotod he for a fourth time spoke: "Kind friends, farewell, farewell."
