' - - . . ! ciision. hherlll Mi l eron purchased the -num.' man a neat suit of blank i lot he, and when he went on the irallows he was nriilU drvssvd In black, with whit shirt and collar. Yester day lie had gotten over his excitemeat and was keeping unlet and preparing to faco death eooly. A ureal many people wanted to witness the execution, but only 2o or 30 were ermitted to do so, Invitations being Issued to those whom the sherlll desired to attend. The scatTold wa erected In the Jul l yard with a folio flxteen feet IiIkIi to enclose it. Last night Montgomery fell asleep shortly afier miduight, aud slept soundly until awakened by the shcrltr at 4:20 o'clock thi morning, and I lieu he had to be shaken sharply to he awakened. Sheriff McFeron told him ho had only a few hours n ore to live, and thai If ho had auy reiiueststo make, he weuld do anything he could for him. He asked to sw a model of the trap upon which he was to stand, which was shown to him and its workings were explained. II asked If a great crowd would be present to see him hanged, hut was told that there would be only a few. He sld he wanted a praver oflered for him, and that he desired to say a few words on the scafl'old. He was assured that au op portunity would be ottered. The sh'eritr apprised him of the hour the execution would take plac and admonished him to tell the simple truth. During the next hour Lloyd listened attentively to tamest t.lk from Rev J M Nliulsc, of the M E church at Shedd, Rev J E Snyder, of the Preilivtenan church at lirowns- vlllp, and Rev Riley Little, of the United Presbyterian cl urch at Albany. He said he had placed his reliance in God and want-'d prayers said for him at the hint. He exhibited, every in dkntlon of sincerity, but still adhered to his story. He also converted with tils cell mate, young Fox. and his neighbor, Joseph Hume, of Browns ville. They talked to him until nearly 0 o'clock and urged him not to go to his Maker with a lie upon his lips, but to tell tho truth. Montgomery was much Impressed with what Mr Hume said. After a very earnest entreaty the doomed man hurst nut crying and snld be would .onfcssall. "Iain guilty," he said, "I killed them nil. I will wilt it out." He then wrote out th following statement: "I did it. I am cuilty. Oh. God! Have mercy on me. Take me as I am, poor sinner. I mn sorry for what I have done. God, do have mercy on niv noor soul: for my sake do, and forgive all my sins, each and every one ol tliiin. and forgive those who tin against me. Oh, God! help the precious souls to see the way of life for my sake. ih neip mom ami gmne them through thi life. Amen. Li-oyd Montgomery. Mr Hume had treated him very kindly and talked to him like a father would toanauirhtv boy. It was 0:80 before Lloyd confessed and theie was little time to obtain a detailed con fession but It could only have been the same story he told before the grand lurv. for that was the truth. Mr Hume and Rev Mr Snyder each Draved with him lu the cell. He was verv contrite and went bitterly- A 7 o'clock he wa led to the gallows. After stepping upon the gallows he faced the speclators and said: "Well, friends. I am 'iry for what I have done, and I hope you will alU forgive me, and I nope tne 1.0m win be with you. and I ask Ged to have merfyon me a sinner, and Iaskyeu to pray for me." An earnest prayer was then delivered bv Uev J E Sn viler. Sheriff McFeron then ndjusted the straps about hi limb. Arwr using securely pinioned the doomed boy looked asaln at the ky and the land scaie about him, and fald; "Oh, Christ, forgive me, and I hope you will all meet me In heaven, and I ask Gad to to take me as I am." Tho sheriff then adjusted the black cap and the rope and stepped luck, when Montgomery said: "Oh God. have mercy upon me, a sinner; take me as I am. My friends, farewell! farewell I" Hherift McFeron then pressed the trigger and the bedy shot downward, a fall or six feet. 1 ncre was no svruK (fie, only a slight tremor of the frame. Hie head was iientiorewani bikj u ui sldo. The physicians Immediately approached the body and noted the pulsations. In 10 minutes after the fall he was pronounced dead. He was brave to the last and did not flinch on the scaffold, but stood erect and having admitted the truth about th crime seemed relieved. Floral Decorations for Parties.

The following from the Salem Post, however much it may be regretted, I only too true: - A Post reporter yesterday stood aud watched the Southern Pacific railway work on the division section lu which the trta-k which runs through Salem I located. Tho ma only of tho work: ing men wore tails aud a few wers Japs. No white men could be seeu In the crowd, except the section boss. Tn or tlirua nnxlnlla. blinirrV-lonk- ing while men, too, were looking at the work, evidently wishing they were at It. The predilection for Chinamen shown by the Southern Pticlflc, built by gov eminent money for which whlto men were taxed, is notorious and ot long standing. It Is a road that uever em iilovs a white lalsirer while a China man Is available. This Is oue reason for the bitter hatred which It Is regarded by the masses of the peonls In Califor nia, the producers of which stale It has continuously robbed by the extor tionate charge 'which it monopoly lm niHilx nrucllcnblo. It would seem that In dark day like these, when not half the worklngmen of tho country If there are employed, was a snark of decency left in it man agement, it would give th choice to white laborer In work on nann, "- nee for ecilly as they would !e glad to work the same wages a theChluameu.

January 20th, to the wife of Dr J H Frazler, a son. Mrs Frazier was a former resident uf this city, her mulden name being Laura Walkvr. Key. Samuel Al. Driver. IVIugram: Threo year ago Rev Samuel M Driver attained some noto riety In Portland and Astoria and other pi ice a well by wine unbe coming act l.i his lln of calling that were frowned down upon by tho good ixsiple who attended his church. The Rev Driver needs no Introduction 1 1 Purtlund. They know the revert nd man at Astoria, too. Rev Driver was at one time presid ing elder of th Idaho and Eastern Oregon conference, and he mlntstertd to the spiritual want of a number of Oregon congregation. Rv Driver was a ravorii among in laaic, inr ne was voted to have endearlsg way abo' t him which had their client Im mediately upon the feminine portion of the congreicatlon over which he presided. While In Astoria Rev Driver' name became unpleoantly attached to tomo candalou matters which became the talk of the town. Later, the adventurer went to Cali fornia. Abeut two year ago he iklpned out from there, followed by a handsome memlier of hi flock a woman, of oourso. It seem that Dr Driver went to Missouri, where h changed his nam to Cunningham. II began life anew with hi California bride at t annage, where he first appeared a a ilugle man afar his return from the West, After th flurry Inoldent to his settling down In the town had subsided suf ficiently, hi wife put in appearance. Then the pair went to Hamilton, Mo. and, according to the resort received here recently, th wife kept tab on bar husband by niesns of a detective, for lie had made more than one attempt to leave her at Carth'?o. Cunningham, alias Dilver, there got work In a lumber-yard aud quieted down. Finally, It leaked out lie wa a preacher, mid In a small way b be gan to talk to congregation whenever opportunity ollered. At this stage of the gam th new wife, liecomlng tired of her lot, com mitted filicide. 'Anlniiuest was held, and the neighborhood (ell Into a dis pute a to whether the husband was a saint or something resembling the opposite. Some iieople went so far as to charge him with bringing about th woman's death. Hit by bit the natives learned the history of the ca e. The woman had followed Cuunlmrhaiu, or Driver, from California. R-more seized upon her and ahe swallowed pnisou to end the matter. Th woman was hurled, and as quickly as possible the minister was permitted to decamp, not, however, until a confession had been wrung from him to th effect that he had an other wife and four children living In Southern California. Cunningham said that his real name wa S M Driver and that he preached In a Methodist church In California. The confession wa confirmed by a letter to California, which the Hamil ton people caused to be written, and to which they received a prompt reply. Ry thi tlm, lu wever, Wlr Driver had disappeared, and what lias become of him is a mvstery.
