happens that the Germans, who during the var
appeared to be indefatgable walkers, have
made only about sixteen miles a day on their
way home from France and have seemed to
suffer a great deal from heat. In one day q
column Of two thousand Bavarians lost eight
men from sunstroke, while thirty-men fell ser-
ously i'll and had to be left behind I'm hospital.
The dead were buried at Sedan. 1t is reported
that the German troops are returning home all
heavily laden with plumber of every descrip-
ton, and this may account for the 'slOwness Of

Two MORE EXECUTIONS IN MARYLAND
The condemned colored men, West and Pal
mer, have now only eight days from TO day be-
tore their execution on the 22d inst, the one in
Baltimore and the other at TowsOntOwn. Eff
forts have been made TO secure a Communication
of sentence TO Imprisonment for life in the case
OF West, who 1t will be remembered killed his
param0ur, Anna Gibson, with a hatchet, but it
IS understood the governor vii not interfere,
West has never been told of the efforts in his
behalf. He Is very stupid and sluggish in mind
and II is thought does not fully realize his posi-
hon, though be has an extreme horror of death -,
especially of death by the rope. Palmer, at
TOwsontown, who is to be hanged for al out
r..se upon white girl, is reported TO have fully
made up his mind TO die on the scaffold on the
I'D inst, and TO have prepared himself for
death through religious instruction. Both men
are under the advice of priests and Of the Gath
Ole church. Palmer is cheerful, enjoys COOL
appetite, and sleeps well. He has made full
confession OF his guilt as heretofore published,
and seems 20 be penitent.-Bdl. Sun.
