MRS. SURRATT'S EXECUTIONER.
An Interview Vith Him Yesterday at
the Morton.
C. Iiath, of Jackson, who was a guest at
the Morton yt-tcrdayf and is a mail agent
on the Michigan Central railroad, between
this city and Detroit, had tome remarkable
experiences as a soldier during the war of
the Rebellion. Iu a short "Couveratioa with
him la.'t evening, a Mouxi.nu 'Ikljmhax. re
Iocttr learned a part of his history, which is
worthy of a p.taing note. At the time of
the anamination of President Lincoln, Mr.
Hath was serving on the stall of Gen. Hart
ranft, whose corps was doing service near
Appomattox, Va. Gen. Hancock, then iu
c jfurn md of the department of Washington,
siinmoned Gen. Hartranft and tao to his
assistance, and Mr. Rath was detailed as
i'rovo-jt, at the time Mrs. Surratt,
i'ayne and the other conspirators
were under rjrutence of death.
After the fientenco of death had been pro
nounced against them Mr. Rath was ordered
by Gen. Hancock to erect four gibbets,
though it was unofficially intimated that but
three would probably be needed. All con
cerned believed that Mrs. Surratt was the
doubtful victim, and on that account Mr.
Rath said that he tied her uoo-e with but
tive turns, instead of the ominous regulation
seven. The time ret for the execution was
between the hours of one and three p. in., on
the Friday named in the order, and none of
the officials concerned about the prison
doubted that a respite would defer Mrs.
Surratt'd execution. Rut shortly before the
fatal hour, about 11 o'clock a. m., the coun
sel for the accused had Gen. Hancock ar
retted ou a warrant issued by a justice of the
peace, hoping thus to complicate matters bo
that the hour of death might be tided over
and their clients paved. Iu this, however,
they made a fatal mistake, as a iosse of
military released Gen. Hancock from the
hands of the civil authorities, but
not in time to allow him an. op
portunity to use his influence witli the w ir
department nnd President Johnson, in Mrs.
Surratt's behalf. Payne's confession that
Mrs. S. knew nothing of the conspiracy, if it
could have been used in time would have, it
was thought, been nu offset to the denial of
Mrs. S., that he had stopped at her house.
Had Gen. Hancock been left to use his in
fluence, Payne's confession been made
in time, or even Mrs. Surratt's eon been
captured with the rest of the conspirators,
Mr. Rath believes Mrs. Surrutt would have
uever been hung. Her daughter Annie,
then a girl of about sixteen, and for a time
also a prisoner, was afterward respectably
married to a gentleman in Washington. Mr.
Rath also assisted in the first burial of J.
Wilkes Booth, under the altar of the prison
chapel. His body, when the prison was torn
down, was dug up and sent to his mother in
Baltimore. Mr. Rath was a member of the
Seventeenth Michigan volunteers, and has
been in the mail service for over fifteen
years.
THE HARVEST FESTIVAL.
Interesting Services at Powers's Opera
House Last Night.
The "Harvest Festival" services, in behalf
of the Unitarians, last night, drew out a very
arge attendance, people being obliged to
stand on the lower floor and in the dress
circle. The stage was profusely decorated
wttL wheat sheaves, corn, fruit, Ac, all
emblematic of the occasion. The idea of
the service wa3 to give appropriate
attention to Thanksgiving. The choir
.vas considerably enlarged, and
die music was furnished by Powers' Opera
douse orchestra. The latter must not be
passed without a compliment for the able
manner in which they executed their part of
tho prpgram, tho music all being outside of
tho style they are accustomed to playing.
The services opened with a hymn by the
choir and orchestra. Then followed, inter
spersed with music by the orchestra, and
a harp solo by Mr. William Miles
of Cleveland, Ohio, the exer
cises by the Sunday School cliildreu,
consisting of recitations, pertaining, in senti
ment, to the anniversary. Prof. Strong de
livered an address intended for the consid
eration of the Sunday' school class. He of
fered many words of good advice to the lit
tle folks, cautioning them to avoid evil
and to strive to lead useful lives,
using by way of illustrations some interest
ing incidents. He was followed by Dr.
Rrigham, who commenced by saying that it
was a curious place to bring a doctor before
such a large audience as this. He desired to
caution the young men in particular, and
counseled them to a careful study of the
Bible; that there is a tendency in this age to
ignore and scoff at the Dible. Some refer
to the mistakes of Moses. All great men have
made mistake. Moses performed a great ser
vice when he led the people out of Egypt and
showed them the promised land. That proud
figure which has lived in history for 4,000
years will shed its light down into the cen
turies to coaio, and his teachings will live
no long as we have a civil code. Hie Dr.
said lie owed much of his success in life to
chipteis his father used to read from the
Bible every morning. Tho doctor closed
with some excellent advice to the children.
Rev. Henry Powers concluded the services
by giving a brief outline of the object of the
Sunday School, and urged oil who had no'
fixed place of worship to join it, A collection
wa then taken to sectire fund with which
to procure suitable clothing for thoo chil
dren who hesitated about going to the school
because their cl othes were shabby. A hjrnn
was sung and services closed.

THE EVANGELIOTCL
Their. Services In Thit City Ended
Last Evening.
The evangelistic iervices of Messrs. Vh:ttle
and McGrauuahan in thi city, clot! last
night, aud to-day they depart for Detroit, to
commence a crie of meetings in that city
to-morrow evening. These gentlemen began
their work ou Wednesday evening, Nov. 12,
and, with the exception of Saturday, Lave
held one or more meetings everyday, includ
ing yesterday. As a result of their taorL
nearly a hundred persons, not members
of any church, manifested a desire to conse
crate them-elves to Christ, while many luke
warm Christian reuewed their obligation
to His service. The services at the Fint
Baptist Church called oat an audience which
crowded ihe utmost capacity of the house,
and an immense audience was in attendance
last evening, the aisles and gallerie being
full, and many standing during the entire
service. Mr. Whittle, in the evening, dis
cussed the text, Hebrews ii., 3, "How ghall
we escape if we neglect ao great salva
tion," with great earnestness, and power of
expression. At his conclusion a dozen or
more, went forward to the a.tar. The song
by Mr. and Mrs. McGranuahan, "I Will,"
the words and music of which w ere composed
by the former, were sung wilh strong effect.
, The inspiration of its composition was the
occasion of a meeting held by Messrs. Whit
tle aud McGrannahan at Limerick, Ireland,
when one hundred men stood up and ans
wered, one by one, "I will" to an invitation
to follow Christ's example. The larger
number of songs sung at these meetings are
Mr. McGrannahan's own composition.
The Rev. H. P. Welton will conduct tho
services to-morrow evening in the same
church, and perhaps continue them through
the week. This gentleman informed a Tei
eg ham reporter last evening that Messrs.
Whittle and McGrannahan charge no ex
penses, sell no books or photographs, and
utterly refuse to allow any committees to be
appointed to solicit a penny by way of re
muneration. If they receive any compensa
tion in a worldly way it comes entirely
unsolicited on their part.
A LETTER FROM MR. BAYNE.
An Explanation ot His Part in the
Trouble With the Braun's.
Gband Rat-ids, Nov. 27. To the Editor of
Tiie Teleobam: Having read your notice of
Braun's assault on me, I am of the opinion
that it is calculated to do me an injustice
and that I have a right to a more correct
statement of facts. I did not use Mrs.
Braun's letter as her statement would indi
cate, but put it in the waste basket and have
not mentioned it. Your report makes me
say that I have never made any statement
prejudicial to Mrs. Braun, and then you in
troduce a witness whose identity you conceal
to prove it false. Now what I did and do
say is that I have not said the things Braun
charged me with on the street, words only
deemed proper in the society of such as con
gregate in a First Ward dive. I cannot ex
press my disgust at being drawn into such
an affair, but must, it seems, pay the penalty
of an unwholesome business acquaintance.
The attack was one any man can make on
another for effect. Any statements I have
made in regard to Mrs. Braun, I am fully
prepared to substantiate in the courts, and I
earnestly desire the opportunity which was
my object in having Braun arrested.
Until this last brutal development I have
felt different on account of others who must
sulTer. Iu this matter I feel that ithas taken
a lifetime to build a reputation, and any
person, however low, may tarnish it, as it
takes an architect to build a fine residence,
but the vilest incendiary may destroy it. I
only ask simple justice without prejudice,
such prejudice as this cowardly attack is cal
culated to produce, and I challenge the most
thorough investigation of the whole matter
aud the motive that prompted it.
Respectfully,
Jas. Bayne.

i ' ' Cndorccti by All,
The parents or trsiirdiaras of the youcj
man or'yocng woman who will, afier tho
summer vacation, tutt r upon a coarse of
busmt-srf instruction and drill, should obtain
all the advantage oiJVred bj the many ex
cellent institutions that o-k for their iat
ronage. One college offers this iuduotv
ment, another tlat, and jet thert are josi
bly not over a dozen cx)lhgts in the Luited
Statt that are t ntiticd to the definition of
the term awarded thee schools by J&uirs A.
Garfield. The particular commercial col
lege which k uruusod the enthusiasm of the
martyr lVtideut iu behalf of lhee thorough
ly practical (schools can not now be located;
and yet, afur all, we cu locate those that
come up to the high Gartield standard, for
they are few aud well known.
Recently we vi-ited the Grand Rapids,
Mich., Bu-iiK.-s College, founded aud con
ducted by Prof. C. G. Swenberg, an old
friend of the Garfields, and never before did
we so fully realize the imjortiaiCc-, power,
aud Mrope of the.-e institutions. lrofesor
Sweuberg has sent from the college f cores
of young meu and women who have goue
out to become otiicers for great eorjoratlous,
and his graduates are found occupying posi
tions of trust in almost every largo town in
the section of country tributary to the col
lege, aud even in far distant cities. Much
of thi- is no doubt due to the fact that the pro
prietor of the school is also connected aa stock
holder and director.or in ornciai capacity, with
many of the largest enterprises in the West,
manufacturing and financial as well as edu
cational. There is no man in the Vet ro
able to aid our youth to fit themselves for
and to secure for them an entrance into ac
tual and profitable business life as Profes
sor Sweusberg. Character is everything in
a school. All attention should be given to
this oint by parents before finding Pons
or daughters away to receive, perhais, a
cheap gilding, falsely called business edu
cation. We deem it a pleasure and a duty
to call attention to this fchool, and advise
our readers to fend for the ColUfje Journal
and become fully acquainted whliits special
features aud advantages. Inter Ocean,

In tba dsjrt of prctca thers u a d
maud for better uxoejit of illciuin&tiaa
than ever before. The dazzling brilliancy
of the electric light makes our com mem
ir rofciii lamp as dim &t talkw dij in
the comparison. This demand ha ben
fully mtt by the introduction of th Ssn
Lamp. They are necessarily made of
metal because the draft or chimney ex
tends down through the center of the
lamp. The wicks are five inches wide and
giv alight of forty-five candle power, tHjual
to thrt gaa burners. These lamps were
brought out at the clot-e of last &ra.son, btt
the pric) v as bo high $0 eachbut few were
bold. Owing to the enormous demand which
has sprang up, they are now produced at a
price within the reach of all, and bold for 3
in brass and $3.fj0 in nickel, complete with
ten inch porcelain bhade. To perbons trou
bled with weak eyes or those who desire to
preserve their eyesight by means of a good
light, the Sun Lamp will prove a blessing.
The New Styles of Hanging Lamps ar
made of a gold color solid bronze metal,
and trimmed with cut glass prisms and dec
orated bhades. The doine-bhaped bhades
look the bebt, but we imagine the angle of
reflection from the cone bhape is best for
throwing light down. Thee lamps are alt-o
much cheaper than last year. They are now
sold at from f 5 to $7 each. Fine table
lamps are furnished with duplex or two
wick burners, giving double the light of the
single wick burners. There ftre many ttylcs
of these lamps on eihib;tion, including solid
bronze and the jiopular hammered brass.
