The Galtowa and the Doomed Han. The gallows on which Allen Mathis is to pay the death penalty for the murder of Reuben Herring has been erected, ac cording to the description given of it in yesterday's Review, and to-day Sheriff Manning is issuing tickets to the number required by law. A reporter of the &view called on the doomed man in his cell at the county jail this merning and had a short conversation with him relative to his approaching doom. He ii confined in the middle cell, third story, e i8t side. As the iron-graUd door of the cell swtiflg on its hingers the 6gure of a man about 5 feet 11 inches was seen in the back part of the cell, Allen Mathis arose slowly and came out of the cell at the bidding of Jailor Howard, who accompanied us on our visit. He looked haggard and a perfect picture of utter despondency. He said in answer to onr interrogation that he was not sure that he hSd been forgiven for his sins but was trying to make his peace. He reit erated that he killed Reuben Herring in salf defence and says that he ran very hard to save his own life. He further stated that the woman (Herring's wife) was an accomplice In the murder and as sisted him in trying to conceal the body of tho murdered man in a well. sHe says that what he told his lawyers is all that hehas to say just now and that he told them the truth relative to the matter. The evidence and what Mathis told his lawyers is as follows: Reuben Her ring's wife was in Allen , Mathis house when Herring was seen coming up the path to the house. Mathis took up a gun and went oat to his gate and denied admission to Herring, whereupon the latter struck hi ja with a heavy hickory stick and was getting the best of the fl5culty when Mathis ran back to the house, pat down the gun and picked up an axe with which he assailed Herring, striking him three times, when he fell and the woman (Herring's wife) said "there now, you've killed him." They then picked up the body of Reuben Herring and threw it down an old well. Mathis left the county, went to Bladen and from there wrote a letter to Herring's wife purporting to have been written by the murdered man, telling her that he had gone to Georgia and would not return for some time. The doomed man is attended daily by ministers who are laboring with him and who will continue their work until the hour of his mounting the stand. It is now ! intended that services will be held during the entire day on Sunday. Just before leaving, Jailor Howard gav e him some to bacco, asking if he chewed now? He re" plied that be took a chew now and then, but didn't like it as much as usual. It is the opinion ot the Jailor that if the doom" ed man professes religion he . will make a full and free confession. Allen Mathis was ordered, back, the heavy door swung on its hinges and silence reigned supreme in the vicinity of the murderers' cell. city Court. The irrepressible Pot Hooks, the little bow-legged bootblack, has again come to grief, this time for using obscene lan guage on the street, Captain Goodwin, of the night police force, having testified in Court this morning that this was the cause of the arrest of the prisoner, Pot Hooks, there on trial. His Honor remanded the prisoner back to the cell and took time t ) consider the extent of the punishment he would mete out to the defendant. A jolly son of Neptune, just arrived in port, was arrested on a land cruise last night for disorderly conduct. He was further charged with resisting arrest. The Mayor said he must pay $5 fine or remain in the C. P. for tea days. This ended the proceedings and the Court adjourned. The Masquerade. The masquerade at the rink last night under the direction of Professer Cnshing was a perfect success and a very laugh able and enjoyable affair. There were about thirty masquers on skates who concealed their identity in a very clever manner. The tramp,s the negro, Major Atom, Gen. Mite, Soldier Boy, Sailor and a grotesque character with a long white beard were among the best personated. A very large audience assembled at the rink and seemed well pleased with the evening's entertainment. Indications.

The rodnce Exchange. a caller meeting of the Produce Ex che, heldst the rooms of the Exchange th'morning, it was resolved that busi nesavould t suspended at the Exch nge on imorrov, New Year's Day, and that thekchangv would therefore be closed aftepusinesi hours to-day until Friday mortng, thejd prox. An effort was made by aMnorit. party who now claim, like the Bpublictcs in Maine, that th y were takemdvaoUge of, (notwithstanding the ftct, x, that the meeting met in coi formit with law and proceeded to busi ness a the rtgular hour) and had snap judgnut rendered before thiy could be in attetanceatthe meeting. This minor ity pay wwever, did not oppose the sutensbn of one day; on the contrary f tley proposed advocating and otinc for a suspension of businei for the balance of the week and a holiiy lntil Menday next. There were t reaons however, why this de sire of te mnority did not prevail; first, they wre nt strong enough numerically to car r; the neaaure, and secondly, they were nc all present at the meeting to partichte in Its deliberations, and conse quent! like be Uaine Republicans, they are difgantlec because they are defeated.
