The black cap was drawn over his head, the
weights fell, and Donnelly was suspended in the
air. BE gasped and drew himself up several
tines Fifteen minutes after, DIR. Finnell an
nounced that his heart had ceased TO beat The
body hung thirty minutes, and was then cut
down and placed in mahogany coffin incloSed
in box, which was taken to the cars. The
usual inscription on small silver plate, on the
coffin, told the name and age of him who lay
within 1t was the desire of Donnelly that his
remains should be inferred in Washington, D.
c., where he passed many years of his life, and
where the lady to whom he was engaged
whose name it is unnecessary to make public
resides. This lady Donnelly desired to visit
him and bid him farewell, and it is said she was
much attached to him and desired to see him.
His friends, to satisfy him, on Thursday wrote
a note asking her to come, and gave it to Dom
nelly for his signature, promising to telegraph it
to Washington. But it was not deemed advisa-
BILE to send it. The lady's friends sent word
that the lady would not be here. He was in
formed of it this morning. and it affected him
very much. a member of her family was with
him, however, in his last moments.
