people, who taunted and yelled at Traupmann
as he mounted the scaffold.
The culprit was very pale but ascended cou-

II persist have accomplices." These were the
laet words he uttered.
Extraordinary precautions had been taken to
guard against disorder. Police and military
were ON the ground in great force, but their SER

Contradictory Adyices of the Parnsuayan War.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-The regular mail steamer
from Rio Janeiro arrived late, last evening,
bringing oates from that city to the Gath of De-
cember. The news is important, but contradic-
tory. Lopez was last heard from at Panadera.
He had few followers with him, and threatened
to keep up guerilla warfare. Owing to the
termination of the war the armies of the Argen-
tine Republic have been reduced to a peace
footing. n
Another Account of Traupmnnn's Execution,
By the Franco american Cable
Paris, Jan. 19.-The execution of the muir
derer of the Kinck family took plack this morn
ing An immense crowd commenced to gather
in the vicinity of the place of execution at an
early hour. The scaffold was erected during
the night, on the Place de la Raquelle. Before
daylight this morning Heidenreich, the official
executioner, tested the scaffold and fastened the
axe to the block, and proceeded to the prison.
The director of the prison conducted him in
person to the cell of Traupmann, who appeared
pale and excited, as If having passed sleepless
night Laying his hand upon his shoulder,
Heidenreich addressed his victim saying, "Thou
belongest to me-" A perceptible shudder passed
over Traupmann's frame as these terrible words
were pronounced, and the murderer seemed to
have completely lost the self-possession which
characterized him during his trial.
His hands were tied behind his back, short
chain put to his feet, which permitted him to
make very short steps, and the chain was con-
nected to the hands by rope. The prisoner was
then conveyed the scaffold, the steps of which
he ascended quickly in an agitated manner; his
head being in the proper place on the block the
pulleys were adjusted and the axe fell, the terri
BILE instrument of death seFering the neck of the
monster.
