A person visiting the warehouse and inspecting the supply of whiskey and beer earlier in- the week would have at onec come to the con clusion that it was a depository for all the intoxicants in this section of the State. But a different condition now exists. Yesterday wagons, buggies, wheel barrows and every other conceivable vehicle was fined up at the warehouse doors for the purpose of taking on boxes of whiskey and barrels of beer, and the greater part of the stock on hand was disposed of.dujr.ing the day and but a small proportion of that which was on hand a fe w-dayt .before is now to be seen. The- seated and seizure law was a heay Wow to the railroads in thi State. Fornasrly much whiskey and beer was shipped by lreight, exspectally wl e c largq quantities ot it were or dered. Now the quantity is limited and the majority of thb will be shipped by express. CYCLONE L HIS Pl'tlCO Considerable Damage Caused High Winds In An Adjoining County.

Floyd Allpn and his son, Claude, the only two f the Hillsville gunmen to pay the deaS penalty for the shooting up of the G roll county court, were electn here today shortly after an eleve hour attempt to save them had thwarted by Governor Mann unrx iwtpdlv retunrine to the caotiol frern a Droooscd trio to New Jersey, thus preventing Lieutenant Governor EKy- son acting upon a request to commute the two mountaineer's sentences The electrocution was scheduled to take "place shortly after 7 o'clock this morning and everything was in readiness at that time. The twelve men who were to act as witnesses Were on hand and the chair had been tested, but at that time th;re was a delay. The attorneys and friends of the condemned men shortly after WSd night made a last appeal to I.ieutejnant Governor Ellyson to Commute! the sentences. The warden of the prison doutbful of i he Lieutenant Governor's authority called upon the" State Attor ney General for an opinion and in the meantime the execution was delayed Governor Mann's son, hearing of the plan to commute the sentences intercepted his father, who was then enroute to Trenton, N. J. and tojd him of the state of affairs. The Governor was at that time at Washington, D. C and he immediately crossed the Poto mac to Virginia soif and telegraphed to the State authorities and the prison warden: "I am the Governor of Vir ginia and am on Virginia soil." He then hurried back to Richmond and ordered that the law take its course. Ths Electrocution. The two 'Aliens had spent a quiet night, both, Setting snatches of sleep but to thijsei.on the death watch it was evident that they were Rsyed up to the highest tension. At 7 o'clock they were told that they had been given a short respite but warned not to entertain any hope of commutation. When the final message was received from the Governor the news was broken to the'two clansmen and they assisted in making the final preparations for the end. In the "death house" the chair had been tested, the witnesses who were to see the two souls rushed into eternity, were seated around the room and the only sound that could be heard was the soft but mournful purr of the heavily charged wires connecting with the instrument of death. Suddenly a small door at one tide of the room swung noiselessly open and Floyd Allen was led Into the room. The old inan had control of himself to a great degrc but those who were watching sa-w that at any moment he might give way. Quickly he was placed in the chair anJ after I he adii'stincnts had been made the deadly current was shot through his body. It was at 1:23 that Hoyd was placed inthechiar and three min utes later he was pronounced dead and his body removed to an adjoining room. Aga'in the little dc r leading from the cells in which the condemned men are located, noiselessly opened and Claude Swanson Allen, namesake of a United States Senator, walked to his doom, erect and without a tremtr Taking his scat in the electric chair he assisted the guards as much as pos sible in getting the straps in position. Within,a few seconds all adjustments had been made and the warden sig nalled for the current to be turned on. At 1:31 the switch was dropped and in less than four minutes the prison physician pronounced that the end had come. The body of Claude was then laid beside that of his father and the two will be taken to their mountain home for burial Claude Not Given Medal. Ths women of Carroll and adjoining clemency for the pirSoners sought to secure a mandate from the Lieuten- 'j ant-Governor, under he supposition Itthat his hand has the power to stay execution, and, indeed, to avert it altogether. They desired that official to seize an opporutnity, which they 4 believed was afforded him by the de parture of his chief for New Jersey, to overturn two separate rulings made by the executive of the State No sooner was it learned that the Governor had left the city yesterday afternoon than the Allen sympathizers began to put into motion a plan that they had in mind throughout the day conference was called to meet at the Jefferscn Hotel last night to con sider the scheme. This meeting ad journed soon afterward to the residence of John P. Branch, 1 West Franklin Street. Here were gathered Victor Allen, Mr. Branch, D. C.

Is Asked to Interfere at Last Moment. The subject was at once broached to the Lieutenant-Governor. He was asked to commute the sentence of Claude Allen to imprisonment for life, in the interest of justice. He wa,s told that Governor Mann was out of the State. Mr. Ellyson responded to the effect that although he had held that office for seven years, he had never thought himself possessed of the powers of the Governor during the lattcr's absence from the State, and had never drawn the salary of the office. Rev. George W. McDaniel, D. D., then asked him if he would consider the matter pro vided he were assured that the Attorney-General believed him elegible to exercise the duties of the office of Governor. He replied that he would be glad to have the opinion of the Attorney-General, adding that hq had compared the Constitution of ginia with that of other Stales, notably Louisiana, where the law explicitly gives certain powers to the Lieutenant Governor, ' whereas the section of the organic law is this State is not specific. The Virginia Constitution says on this point: "In case of the removal of cultivated? Should the imagination the feelings, or the power be culti the feelings, or the will be trained? In other words shall wc offer a course o? study to develop the whole child systematically and symetrically or shall we merely attempt- to cultivate, one or more of his pdwers?
