THE SCAFFOLD.
Execution OF NARROW, the MUIR
derer, at Mayville.
Bachman's Foul Murder Avenged-The
Calprit Makes Full Confession.

MAYvILLE, N. " August 2, 1872.
At ten minutes past twelve O'Clock to-day Charles
NARROW was hanged In the Jail at this place for the
murder of william Bachman at jamestown, August
10, 1871.
The crime was one OF the most revolving ever
committed In Western New York. Bachman,
stranger, OF whose antecedents nothing is known,
made his appearance In jamestown, and protested
to have large amounts of money in his possession.
Two days later NARROW enticed him into the vault
under his brewery, shot him, and then burned the
body OF his victim in the brewery furnace.
NARROW received two trials, the jury in the first
trial dsagreeing. On the second trial he was con-
victed, and sentenced 10 be hanged on March 20.
stay of proceedings was served and the case
taken to the Supreme Court, but a new trial was
refused and to-day designated the time for exc
cutOn.
Indifference, and during his confinement preserved
the same command over himself. He always denied
his guilt until last night, when he made a full
confession, conditional that IL should not be made
public until after his death.
On the 18th of last month he attempted to kill the
taller and make his escape. Augusta NARROW his
wife, is in the same jail under Indictment for en-
deavOring to aid in her husbands escape, by fur
nishing him q dozen watch spring saws In the heels
OF a pair OF slippers. After debating his confession
last night he remained peaceful until morning,
sleeping little at intervals He refused to the last
to receive clergyman, saying that he could not
send his soul to heaven or hell. The trap was ar
ranged in the corner Of the second moor OF the Jail.
NARROW was brought out at five minutes past
twelve. He sat down on the low platform while
Sheriff Harrington read the death warrant; he then
took his place on the trap without the trem0r OF
muscle, and in a slow but distinct voice said that
he was not directly guilty Of the crime for which he
WIS to suffer. He further stated that he had made
full statement OF all his knowledge OF the murder
In his written confession. He asked pardon OF the
Sheriff and his officers for the trouble he had caused
them. At Sc genteen minutes past twelve Sheriff
Harrington sprung the trap. The fall was seven
feet, disOcating his neck and causing death with
out a struggle The execution was conducted In
the most perfect and law-abidng manner.
MarlOws confession was, in effect, that he admin
istered strychnine TO Bachman in beer, and when
it commenced operating on him struck him on the
head with hammer In the cellar, he then burned
the body In the brewery furnace.

tion Of Mill Property.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, August 2, 1872.
The Wall OF the Upper Level Canal at Holyoke
gave way early this morning, between the two
head gates at the new Massasoit paper MILL A
raging Mood poured through the breach, carrying
everything before it for distance of 200 feet, and
emptyng itself into the second level OF the canal.
messenger was Immediately despatched to the
main gates at the dam and they were closed as
speedily as possible, the water gradually subsiding
so much as TO give view of the amount of damage.
The sight revealed was one OF wreck and ruin.
About nifty feet of the heavy stone canal wall was
demolished. and l'ole fifty feet wide and from
thirty to fifty feet deep was pOnghed along the
northerly side OF the MassasOit mill to the other
canal. The large underground jail race, con-
structed OF brick. was torn to fragments the 'pen
stock" was broken down in the centre and the
walls OF the mill were undermined for consider
able distance. Had it not been for the prompt
closing OF the gates at the dam the mill itself would
have been swept away.
The damage to the property in the vicinity is es
tmated at about $4,000 Several hundred men
and teams are at work making repairs, which, it is
hoped, will enable the mills to start up as

How sweet 1t were, if without feeble fright,
Or dying of the dreadful beauteous sight.

To see him issue from the silent air

His divine eyes, and bring us from his bowers
News of dear friends, and children who have never
Been dead indeed--as we shall know forever
Alas! we think not what we daily see

Austria has cheerful habit of looking af-
ter things in a practical and thoroughly eff
fectual way. One of its laws empowers tn e
government to take possession of any rail-
road and manage it at the expense of the
owners if the line is not kept in good order
for traffic, or if there is any other misman-
agement affecting the interests of the public.
In virtue of this the Austrian Minister of
Commerce has recently seized the Lemberg
Czernowitz Railway, the company after re-
peated warnings having failed to remedy the
ton and management of the road which had
been pointed out to it. What a surprise it
would create if such thing were attempted
hereabouts!
