REDUCTIONS IN PRICE.

We again present to the agricultural commu-
nifty our Fertilizers with renewed confidence, rs
equal, II not superior, to any manure offered for
all crops, not excepting Peruvian Guano. Iear
by year their value has become more manifest
as demonstrated by largely increased sales, and
we challenge any brand to show more satisfac-
tory and UNIFORM results. Cpptning our manu-
facture to materials of highest standard, as
proved by analysis, we claim like results in all
time. On the Wheat crop the testimony is Of
attention to our popular Guano, known Ms
GENUINE PuOSPHO-PEkUVIA

made Of the highest standard Of Peruvian Guano
and Bone Phosphate Of Lime, viii. Alkaline
Salts ot Potash, Soda, sc.

Containing 6 to s per cent Amlnini".
70 ~ 50 Bone Pho.p'c Lime
Potash, Soda, &c.
Beautifully prepared and adapted to the Drill,
in sacks Of IL to the ton, of 2HO pounds,
and sold at $50 per ton-lorncr-
ly $40 per ton.
The character Of this Guano is so we'll known
rs to need but little further comncndation from
us Used for many years it has become favor
tic with all consumers, and IL only requires Il
trial to convince al of its value. The Ammonia
and Bone Phosphate being in rational proper
tions, it can hardly fail to rendcr satisfaction,
improving the quality and increasing the crop
it adds one other most important essential in the
permanent improvement of the land--in this
particular we question whether il has its equal.
1t acts wonderfully upon the grass crop, and to
such an extent rs TO bring Impoverished lands
up to high state Of fcrti!ity-cqualling Bone

plishcd planters We beg the closest investiga-
ton rs to the integrity and Manufacture Of our

to inspect our works, material used, and mode of
manufacture.

Another Railroad Catastrophe.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.-Dispatches from
Harrisburg report that information is already
published regarding the railroad accident.
They also state that W. W. DANTE, killed with
his wife and child, was member of Congress.

ton which ran into the first was to be one
hour behind it.

the bumper and half way through the car im-
mediatcly in front, killing the persons already
named. 1t is supposed they were instantly
killed as their bodies were cold when extrlcat-
cd from the ruins 1t is rumorcd that there Is
still another body in the debris, but it needs
confirmation The five persons injured all

Executions.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.--Barney Wood, CON
victed of the murder Of Mr.. Cheeseman, stl"r-
cd the extreme penalty Of the law: at the jail
OF the District to-day.
At 1920 p. m. the representatives of the
press-and the other few favored with passes
were after waiting within the vcstibule for a
half an hour ushered into the Jail yard where
the special police force detailed for the OCCASION
numbering one hundred men formed Il Gordon
round the gallows which stands in the centre
of the yard, and is about ten feet from the
ground. The fatal moose hung from the centre
of the frame overhead.
The cofin handsome black walnut one, was on
the ground directly beneath the glbbet. The jail
yard was filled, and the surrounding housc-iops
we're crowded with those filled with morbid
curiosity, among who were several females
During the interval the crowd kept in a state OF
expectancy, some convcrsng in low tone but
most gazing in silence at the gaows
A peculiar feature Of the execution was, the
cord attached to the trap, which led to the
prop, runs along under ground, and passes
through the Jail window concealed by a wooden
trough.
The indecorum which characterized the
hanging Of Jenkins the vile murderer Il short
time since, was obviatcd by the placing OF sew
eral policemen on the walls surrounding the
ia al enclosure.
The class of persons admitted to witness this
execution was also very different from that OF
the preceding. The colorcd element prcdom-
mated in the latter, while to-day the spectators
were nearly all white, and many OF the prom
nent citiZcns were present.
at II w., the time set for the execution, a
solemn silence tell upon the waiting crowd
u, D. ptnn of h1s
inside the jail, with the deadly cord in his
hand, gazing from out the window, anu waiting
the signal.
At II precisely the procession, consisting of
the condemned man, a Catholic priest and the
officers, assembled the steps of the scaffod =
Wood walked supported by the priests. lie
was deadly pale and breathcd hard and ap
pcarcd to suffer intensely.
After prayer, in which he united,
the Warden approached and placed the
moose around his neck. His spiritual advisor
then gave him absolution and took a solemn
leave of him. As the Warden approached to
place the black cap over his eyes, his form
tremblcd so, that it was with difficulty he could
stand. The cap being placed over his head at
exactly l2::IS D. M, the Warden waived his
handkerchief and the subodinate inside pull
cd the string, the trap flew open, and like
flash the body fell fully four feet.
Death was instantaneous. Save few convul
sions and twitchng of the body, no action
could be discovered After remaining
until life was extinct, the body OF Barney
Wood was taken down.
The execution was conducted with marked
propriety.
New YORK, Dec G.--IIcnry Rogers was
hanged in the yard of the Kings county gail at
9:4j O clock this morning for the murder Of
officer Donohuc. inst before the drop fell he
tainted aud dropped into the arms fthc attend

LOCAL ITEMS.

TUE CHAIN GANG The chain gang-iis
commander, its superintendent, and its mem
bers-h has been the fruitful source of items for
this column since the excellent law creating it
hrst went into operation. That is one of its
good effects. 1t has also benefited its mem
bcrS, and worked no harm to the public at
large. But the first mentioned advantage is
the one to which attention was more parlicu-
larry drawn this morning. 1t was stated in
yesterday Gazette that p \. Brccn, II CT dc.
want leader of the 2nd Ward Radicals and
government official, would b" brought out
OF the work house and uut on the chain gang,
unless ransomed by his friends That cOntin-
gency not occurring this morning, the gang APP
pcared on the street with one recruit, and that
one was Bteen. The gang wa, employed in
cleaning the street near the Market House,
when Mr.. John Harlow, who was walking by,
saw Brccn and told him that if he would swear
off from liquor for one year he would pay his
fine and have him released. As it is against
the rules for the mcmbcrs of the gang to be
talked to by persons on the street. Mr.. Harlow
was told by the Superintendent that ii he
would so 70 the Mayors office, pay Breens
fine, and bring an order for his release, he
would turn him loose, but that until that was
done his prisoners must not be intertercd with.
This was the occasion for some offensive words,
