Two Men Hanged Yesterday.
Hanging a Wife Murderer I'm 81. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, April 9.-Patrick O'Shea who
stabbed his wife on the night Of March Is,
1874, from the effects of which she died
five days later, was hanged in the Jail yard
between 1 and o'clock to-day. He made
a speech on the gallOws in which, while
admitting he cut his wife, he insisted that
bis act was not willful and he did not COM
NIT murder. He charged John Miller and
Henry Morris with swearing falsely against
him, and said Col. NOrmile, prosecuting
attorney, and Judge Jones did not give him
a fair trial. He was then led to the trap,
the black cap and moose adjusted, and at
precisely $50 o'clock the drop fell. His
neck was broken and his struggles few, and
at 2;05 the body was cut down and taken to
the CorOneI's Office when a post mOrtem
examination was made. The culprit's
manner both before going TO and while on
the gallOws, was remarkably cool and CON-
posed, not the slightest indication Of agita-
ton or fear being apparent.

New BRUNSWICK, n. j., April O.
Michael Sullivan was hanged this forenoon
for the murder Of Daniel Talmadge, at
Metuhsen. At 1856, Sullivan left his
cell, accompanied by two clergymen,
sheriff, jailer and executioner. Two min
utes afterwards, at the scafTOld, these all
babe Sullivan farewell, and one minute
later the drop fell. After hanging until
pronounced dead by physicians, the body
was cut down and handed over to the IN
dertaker, who placed it in the hearse and
drove away, followed through the streets Of
New Brunswick by a crowd of men,
women and children. The father, mother
and sister of Sullivan called at the Jail this
morning TO see him, but they were not
admitted, by tie advice of the clergymen.
Only few persons were admitted TO the
prison to witness the execution.

59,O07l. The revenue, in round numbers,
therefore. was 4SO, OOOI. The revenue reQuir-
ed for the expenses Of 1915 is no less than
500. OOOl., OF an advance Of 40, 000L. over that
of 1872 3, and q glance at the accounts shows
that since 1868 this has been about the yearly
rate of increase in the amount OF money required
TO meet the growing expenditure of the Island.
Is it any marvel that those who are deeply In
terested in the fortunes OF the Island should
feel the necessity of giving somewhat serious
attention to this state of things! There is
one healthy feature about The figures for 1928.
The principal source of revenue is the import
duties, and these show an increase over the
previous year of 10000. At the same time
the expenditure upon establishments, roads,
buildings, and other items showed an increase
OF no less than 3S,65Q Into the particulars
of this increase there ought to be a rigorous
examination, and the Governor cannot do
better than to appoint a Special COMMISSION
of Inquiry with tn object OF making Sug-
ge5tions for reducing expenditure and allowing
q margin for the tightening Ct taxation. III
is emily fair in these remarks to notice I've
decrease Of the public debt from 6S2 00OL IN
1856 to 5J4 ,00OI. in 1878. MS Is no DOUBT
d substantial gain, and proves the wisdom OF
Sir John Grant in his dealings with this I'M
portant subject. But a reduction of debt to
this extent, coincident with an increase In
the general expenditure of considerably more
than the amount Of such reduction, is not en-
tirely satisfactory. This question of expen-
diture is one that presses most particularly
upon the attention of the Government at the
present moment. With the existing ConSti-
tuition the Government have a peculiar res
possibility. 1t would be sad day for Jamai-
ca if the old representative rslitotions were
to be revived, with all THEN attendant evils 4;
bat Crown Government is bound to Justify
its existence, not only by gso4 and jast laws
Gas it has in the main admirably donel, but
also by greater economy in finance and less
taxation of the people. The other points
notably those relating 70 irrigation and M
migration, dealt with in Sir William Grey's
report, must be left over for consideration.

THE WEST INDIA AND PANAMA
TELEGRAPH COMPANY.
From the European Na'L.)

The ordinary general meeting of the share.
holders OF his company was held at The London
Tavern on April 20, Mr.. w. {. Earle, the
chairman, presiding. TIE report Of the direc-
tors stated that The amount a%cerulng on revenue
account was l6.262l. lis ID, and that the
expenses had been l3,33tl las. l0d leaving
a balance of 2 ,925l. los Id which was Car
ried to general reserve account. The traffic
receipts during the period were larger than
in any previous h~alf-year, aud showed an
increase OF As per cent. over those OF the cor
responding period of last year. The halt-year
ending December 1878, however, was ma ked
by interruptions of important sections OF this
and the connecting companies lines. The
Chairman, 10 moving the adoption OF the report
and accounts, said, Notwithstanding one dlsap-
pointing feature in the report, the present
position of the company was better than 1t had
ever been The Disappointing feature IN The
report was the ~Don-completion of The Para
section, by the completion of which they hoped
to have 1rafic from North and Sou b America,
and "a consequent Increase III heir receipts. BY
the terms of their contract, however, nothing
would be paid till this section was fully certl-
fed as complete. Turning to the bright side
Of the report, he had to refer with great salts
faction to the settlement of their suit with the
Indiarubber, Outlay. rcha aud Telegraph W orks
Company. This N tier had pressed ON them.
and had interfyred with them in carrying on
the business of the company. The continuance
of the working of the cables had enabled them
to improve very materially the details of their
services, to which he believed every one con-
neoted with West India who used their cable
would bear witness. The messages went out
10 a very short time, and there had been an
improvement in their working and the correct
ness with which the messages were now for
warded. The improved working had been
followed by a natural increase in traffic receipts.
The Colon cable would bring them about s,ooos
ayeaf. They had made an application 90 the
, 1875-05-26

subsidisiDg colonies for a renewal Of the con.
cessions and grants OF subsidies for o further
term OF ten years from April l, 1874. and for
payment from that date, and they believed
their applications would be successful. The
purchase of the maintenance ship, the Incesti-
gator, was a necessity, for tlcy could hardly
say to the subsidising c%olonie. that they wers
doing their best unless they had a ship on the
spot TO perform repairs. He thought they would
agree that be was justified in saying their posi-
ton was now better than i had ever bsen.
The report having been seconded, the chairman,
in reply to the question whether interest on the
preference shares was cumulatiye or not, ex-
planned that at a previous meeting il was stated
that the directors had taken the opinion of
counsel, who believed that he interest GA the
preference shares was cumulative. This. how.
ever, did not settle the question authoritativelY,
and the board, before paying away money, had
resolved on having the matter settled by a
friendly suit in Ohancery AS far as they were
concerned, they had no doub; the interest was
accumulatiye. The report was adopted mani.
mously, and the retiring directors, Messrs.
Earle and Ford, and tbs retiring auditor, Mr..
Grifi BIS, having been reelected, the pro.
ceedingS terminated.

PRISON DISCIPLINE.
From the Barbados Reporter y.

Mr.. Kerr's elaborate and suggestive Report
on The subject of prison discipline III Jamaica
has been printed and published for general in
formation. 1t contains much suggestive mat
ter which might we'll be considered and acted
upon, now that the subject OF prison discipline
is beeinning to engage the consideration of the
Legislature. And, on the whole, it shows that
prison accommodation and the general discipline
adopted in dealing with c0n1icts in JamalcaV
il far superior 10 what it actually is in Barba-
dos. with all of our boosted civilization and
boaSted light on religious agencies. A con.
Wet is but a man, aud the primary object Of
prison discipline should be, TO combine the
largest amount of coeI ciOn with the smallest
possible modicum of cruelty. Many of our
existing pri3on appliances, without being at
tended by he slightest possible utility, are
characterized by downright cruelty, and have
no other earthly tendency than that of bru-
talizing the unhappy wretch and sinking him
deeper and deeper into the depths OF absolute
degradation.
Among other matters of interest, Mr.. Kerr
alludes to the use of the Treadmill in the
Kingston Penitentiary, which is so arranged,
he observes, " as to render the crushing of the
instep or toes-which has so often happened
at Gipndairv-imposSible - Thus, incidental
~ tfdnSplFPS tl0 ldtG w q Sy0'Vih0tiN plCOo vi
refined cruelty being ~pracliSed in our principal
place of confinement. What a commentary ON
certain remarks made by Mr.. Phillips in the
House of Assembly, in his speech on the second
reading of Bill to remunerate the Inspector of
Prisons In regard to shot drill, Mr.. Kerr
found the superintendent of the Prisons " me-
crssarily cautious in expressing a decided opin.
ion" but he heard and saw enough to convince
him that they considered it " unequal and un-
lust in operation and practically useless as
deterrent to crime-a conclusion which coin
cided with his W observation and experience"
In this opinion we entirely agree both with the
Superintendents and Mr.. Kerr, and trust, at
no distant period, to see both treadmill and
shot-drill irrevooably consigned to the realms
If tba rack. the wheel and the brazen bull, of
Phalaris notoriety. There are several other
points of interest in Mr.. Kerr's report into
which we have no time to enter deliberately az
present.
