EXECUTION IN HOUSTON.
Hung in n Grove.

The Houston Enion, OF Saturday reports
the following: 7'.'
On yesterday Jake johnson, who has
been under conviction for the murder OF b.
w. Loveland, suffered the extreme penalty
of the law by hanging. Long before the
the place of execution, a large concourse of
people had assembled around the jail in
order to get glimpse OF the doomed man.
Inside the jail were many OF his friends. and
his wife and child. They were engaged in
singing his funeral hymn and praying.
Sheriff Hall read to him the death warrant,
which did not appear to affect him at all.
At twelve O'Clock, noon, he was taken from
the Jail to the grove where Sam johnson
was executed some two years ago. A large
crowd followed the procession, and ON ar
irving at the gallows it seemed as though
the entire colored population Of the county
had turned out
The prisoner was dressed in q neat white
suit, and walked up on to the gallows with
a very firm step, and tried to appear cool
and self-possessed, as though determined
not to falter. He was asked the usual
question whether he had anything to say!
and he replied that he had, and addressed
the crowd for about twenty minutes. He
confessed that he alone committed the muir
der, and that neither John Jameson nor any
one else had anything to do with it. lie
advised the young men. both white and
colored, to be very cautious OF women, be-
cause the very devil was in them all
though he loved his wife more now than he
ever did.
Rev. Sandy Parker sang his last farewell
hymn with him. and also prayed with him.
He then bade his family and relations fare
well, also Sheriff Hall and his deputies and
the whole assemblage. He said he did not
fear death nor the looks of the coffin before
him, and that he was fully prepared for his
fate. Then the black cap was drawn over
his face, and at precisely one o'clock the
drop fell, and he was launched into eternity.
He appeared to suffer for about two min
utes; at the expiration of ten and a half
minutes life was extinct, and at q. quarter
past one he was taken down, and his body !
to his friends, who buried him in !
the graveyard, alongside of his mother.
Thus ends another warning against law
essness and crime.

The Houston Union, Of the second in
Stant. saws:

The Houston Union, Of the second in
slant, says:
From gentleman, who came from Bra
zoria last Saturday, we learn the following
facts concerning the shooting OF Thomas
Smith, in that town on Friday last, by Alex
ander Wilson, uncle of Eugene and Irwin
Wilson. Thomas Smith, merchant of
Brazoria, aged about twenty-eight, and Al
exander Wilson, aged about fifty, were
both paving attention to the same young
lady, with view to marriage. Some two
weeks ago, Smith called at the lady's house
and found Wilson there; they had some
words together, and Wilson ordered Smith
away. About two days after this they met
in the street and had fisticutf fight to-
gether, in which Wilson was wOrsted.
few days after this Wilson bought shot
gun at the store of Mr.. Melegorde, and on
Friday morning last, while Smith was pass
ing Wilson's house, Oh his way to the post
office. Wilson stood on his gallery, behind
some vines, and deliberately shot Smith dead
Sheriff Kolkow arrested Wilson, and he was
undergoing an examination before Judge
Rogers at the time our informant left.
Public feeling was entirely against Wilson,
and ran very high. Lynch law was strongly

Though the innocent babe that created so
much sympathy in the public mind in con-
sequence Of the mystery that enveloped its
fate, for so many days and nights has been
returned to its mothers arms, vet the mys-
terry of its cruel abduction still haunts the
public mind and leaves it dissatisfied. The
Digby affair has become to be an affair of
not confined to the police whom, it is
charged, possess not the ability to solve the
Digby riddle. 1t makes all good hearts
throb with joy to know the mother once
more is permitted to embrace her darling
child, but there are those who do not fail to
feel that it is due to our people that the per
petrators Of this infamous scheme-be it a
plot to obtain money or otherwise be
brought to justice If the object in abduct-
ing the child was TO obtain money by its
restoration to its mother, the scheme will
not win, providing the police succeed in
solving the riddle. In case this is done.
what, no doubt, was intended as splendid
scheme to put money in somebody's pocket
will turn out to be but bad speculation,
there is a splendid scheme, however, for
obtaining large sums Of money without in
curing any other risk than the outlay of
few dollars. This cheme is legitimate and
is embraced in the single number drawings
of the Louisiana State Lottery. The next
drawing takes place on the twenty-seventh
of this month. There are four hundred and
forty prizes, some of which are magnificent
and sufficient to make any of us feel con-
tented and happy for the balance of life.
All that is required to have a chance for a
prize is to buy a ticket in the Louisiana
State Lottery. ..-..
