BILE DOWNFALL or SANTA AssA.-An
Acapulco correspondent: of the New

the reception Alvarez, the leader of the
Mexican insurrectiOn against the gov
ernment of Santa Anna, had met with
in that place. and adds:

the best military educated men in this
country, and was born in Pensacola,

Morenos and De Sotos-botn names

families Of the highest standing and
respectability. The General was edu-
Gated at St. Joseph's College, Bards-
town, Kentucky, and, although in the
year 1898 he expasriated himself and
became citizen Of this republic, still
does he retain the high-toned, chivalric
honor and bearing Of that State in
which he was educated. During our
war with Mexico, in all the engage
ments on both lines of operations, he
not only took an active and conspicuous
part, but has since then been on active
service on the frontier. Finding, in his
last engagement at Nuesco, Santa Anna

which, from his position in the army,
he was forced to oppose by military duty
and law, until the opportunity arrived
when he could give expression to his
feelings of patriotism. His acquisition
to the cause Of the liberal party has al
ready been strongly felt; and from town
to town, as the news arrived, have the
government troops pronounced in favor

A BLOODY AFFA1R.-The following
details of horrible affair were received
in letter to the St. Louis Anzeioer,
from a citizen of Lexington, Missouri.
Improbable as they appear to be. the
Anzeiger relies upon its correspondent.
The occurrence is said to have happen
ed early in February, to two Irish ped
dlers, near Warrensburg. Johnson
County, about fOrty-four miles from
Lexington.
"When within a few miles from
Warrensburg, they called at country
house and obtained lodging for the
night. One of them retired early,
leaving his companion stiIl sitting up
The latter, after an interval of an
hour, followed. and grouped his way in
the dark to the bed where the other lay,
when, putting forth his hand, he found
him mOtiOnless, and lying in pool of
blood.

ton that his friend was dead, he turned
to go out to give an alarm, but met
three men entering the door. These
were the assasins, and, as they were
evidently about to take his life also,
the pedler drew a large knife with
which he happened to be armed, and
defended himself with such desperation
that all three of his assailants perished
in the encounter. Two of the assailants
were unarmed, the other bore an axe,
the same instrument he had used in
numbering the sleeping man. The
names of the assasins had not reached
Lexington. Those of the pedlars John

James Carrigan.

Kill off the fruit crop, but we have seri-
Gus fears that peaches have been in
jured by the unparalleled severity of
the weather.
A fruit grower in East Cleveland re-.
ports his peaches killed upon eleven
trees out of twelve examined. In the
city, from slight examination, we think
enough fruit buds are alive to secure a
fair yield, but an unusual amount of
the wood is killed, even branches of two
years growth. An extensive horticul-
turist on the West Side thinks peaches
are safe, and should we have no
storm, it is to be- hoped that the cold
thus far has merely thinned out the crop.
not destroyed it. The idea that peaches
will not survive a greater fall Of mercu-
ry, than 10 degrees below zero is all
CANNON. The state of the atmosphere,
as to dryness, has the most important
bearing, an experienced, intelligent. ac-
complished horticulturist maintains that
dry frost cannot kill peaches.
The Rochester American is informed
that the peach trees thereabouts are
wounded or killed outright by the bitter
cold, and that the buds for the most part
look black and dead Cleveland Herald.

I
EXECUTION OF Aries, THE MURDEK,
ER AT SYpSxY.-This wretched man
who, as our readers viii remember. wa:
convicted IN the Court Of Common
Pleas, Of Shelby county few months
ago, OF an atrocious murder committed
on the person of his own daughter,
was hung yesterday. From private
sources we learn that the execution ex-
fhibited scene of horror, to which il
would be difficult to furnish parellel.
The trial, the prison, and the near an
proach Of death had failed to subdue
the spirits Of the guilty man, or reduce
him to submissive frame of mind
Since his conviction his conversation
has consisted principally of expression
of defiance to the officers of the law.
varied with the most horrid blasphemies
and obsenities. As he was very strong
muscular man, and had repeatedly as.
serted that he would not be hung, the
Sheriff, as a matter of precaution, had
called in outsiders to the number of
some twenty-five or thirty to assist in
the execution Of the sentence; but such
desperate resistance did the negro make.
that even this force was hardly equal
to the terrible task that devolved upon
them. As the condemned man was
taken out of his cell, in spite of the
heavy irons on his arms and legs, he
burst away from those in charge of him,
and for some time kept everybody at
bay by striking in all directions with his
shackled hands. At length by the uni
ted force of some twenty men, he was
overpowered and dragged to the gallows.
But even after he was swung off, he
managed to spring up, and, by tightly
holding on to the rope, to keep himself
alive for half an hour. until there was
danger that his life would oyerrun the
time limited by law for the execution,
and the officers were obliged to choke |
him by main force.
An immense crowd had assembled to |
witness the horrid scene, but the strict
ly private character of the execution
disappointed their expectations.
