Shocking Scene-The Rope About the
Neck of One of the Victims Slips, and he

From the Wilmington IN. C.) Journal, Dec. %.
The Sheriff of this county executed yesterday
Lewis Williams and Augustus Williams freed
men, convicted OF highway robbery, and SEN
fenced to death at the last term of the Superior
Court. The execution was attended by large
concourse Of persons, both white and colored-
larger number than ever has been known to
were taken from the Jail shortly after 10
O'clock and conveyed to the place of execution
in the suburbs, under the escort and guard of
a squad of soldiers of Company d, 9Th United
States Regulars. The prisoners were attended
by the Rev. j. G. Thomas, who offered every
consolation and hope for the relief of their
souls. Arrived at the place of execution, they
were as calm and collected as could be expected
of those about to face death, aud from the
scafold made an address to the large assemblage
of persons. They both strongly protested their
innocence of the crime of which they we're con-
victed, and expressed hope of peace hereafter.
AT about half-past eleven O'Clock the fatal cord
attached 10 the prop was pulled, and two
dangling, struggling forms were suspended In
the air. Lewis Williams died almost instantly
and with scarcely struggle but the fatal rope
attached 10 the neck of Augustus became mis-
sufferlngs, which were plainly indicated by the
fearful and maddening struggles he made. In
about half an hour he, too had ceased TO strug-
gle, and the crowd dispersed, awfully impressed
with the horrible scene.
The execution proceeded with the utmost
quiet, no disturbance or attempt at rescue having
taken place.

The Snow Storm on the Shore of Lake Erie
The Buffalo and Erie Railroad Company has
been greatly embarrassed by the late snow
storm but the trains were all running regularly
again on Monday. Large quantities of snow
fell and the wind blew it into the track in many
places to the depth of twelve feet, aud after the
track had been opened it would be filed again
by the gale. The snow-plough was sometimes
usele; s, so deep and so solid had the snow been
packed. Hand labor with shovels had to be
resorted TO in many places, and the snow was
carried considerable distance. This was one

Quack DOctOrs-A Woman Killed, and a
Man Loses an Eve.


Man Loses Eye.
HHsdale, Mich. December 2lst), Correspondence of
the Detroit Press.
A case of malpractice occurred here yesterday
morning, which resulted rather seriously to
both parties-the death of the patient and the
arrest and imprisonment OF the physician. The
facts, as l learn them, are these:-A few days
ago two travelling physicians came here from
New York State, and stopped at the Hlllsdale
Exchange. One of them, DR.. Morgan, claimed
to be an "eye DOCTOR" and the other, Dr. W. H.
l.. Moran, "cancer DOCTOR" A Mrs. Ruggles,
of this place, employed Dr. Moran to kill a
cancer for her. the doctor telling her that he
would forfeit five hundred dollars If he did not
kill and remove it within five days. The plan
adopted was the application of n plaster to eat
the cancer, and the pain being very intense and
severe, the doctor commenced giving the patient
morphine and laudanum to aliay IL. Within
thirty-six hours from the time he made the first
application, his patient was corpse. The doctor
admits that he gave her eight grains of NOR
phine and two ounces of laudanum. Physicians
say here that it is enough to kill three or four
persons. DIR. Moran Immediately left town, but
was followed by Deputy Sheriff Ripley, who
brought him back, and lodged him in jail.
The partner of DIR. Moran (the aforesaid DR..
Morgan) has had but little better success. DIR.
Morgan found patient in Mr.. John Baker, who
resides near him, and undertook to remove a
wart from a corner of Mr.. Bakers eye; the
result was the total destruction of the sight.
