Happy Man.

What happy man must he have been
who. when impaneled as q juror Q few
davs since in the famous Beecher- Tiltop case,
declared he had never heard of it before.
He had never heard Of Tilton's first state
ment, nor Of Tilton's second statement, nor
of Beecher hanging on the ragged edge,
nor Of the cave of gloom. nor Of Bessie who
slept like Ssncho Panza, nor of the terrible
mother in-law who moved into the best
front goom in the second story, and would
not cit at the same table with her daughters
husband, yet would consent to eat the fruit
of his labor in the aforesaid best room, nor
of Mrs. Tiltons love letters. uos Of any.
thing else connected with that pestiferous
case. We wonder where that man had been
all summer. Had he lodge in some vast
wilderness! His business was that of q
real estate broker in New York, which
renders this hypothesis improbable. The
only possible way We can account for bis
good luck il on the eupposition that he
must have been deaf and blind. He could,
in that case, have neither heard Of it, nor
have read abou: it. Happy afflicted real
estate broker.

this city recently to the Eastern pa
pers alleging that the secret service
detectives who have been working
up the Woolsey counterfeit case had
established Woolsey in the business
in order that they might achieve q.
reputation by working up the case
successfully. 1t is deemed just to-
state that there is no foundation for
such statements and that the detec-
tives have had no such arrangement
with the criminal, and that Judge
Nelson in charging the jury which
convicted Wolsey stated distinctly
that there were no grounds, for.snch.

Asunder from the Limbs
OfOne Offhe Murdercrs.

New YORK, Dec. 17.--.tt ten clock
last night, after the religious services.
the Tombs became deserted by all ex-
cept few reporters and the prison of
ficers. At o'clock Ellis, after taking
bath, retired to bed as did the other
two, and the three slept sound y until
o'clock, when they awoke and began
preparing their toilets for the execution.
Thompson, when nearly ready; coolly
lighted cigar. Ellis remained in bis
cell and prayed fervently. Weston aud
Thompson joined the procession to the
Catholic chapel, up strirs, where, Mt
seven O'Clock, Fathers Duranquit and
Barry conducted religious worship. The
usual impressive service Of the church
was performed, the two men joining fer
vently, after which they went back to
their cells and prepared for the scaf-
fold.
At an early hour tie streets in the Vi
entity of the 1oombs presented an an
mated appearance. A Gordon Of five
hundred police covered the converging
points to keep back the mensecrowds.
Three hcarses aud half dozen carriages
were stationed at the Franklin street en-
trance, intended to form the funeral COR
tege in the conveyance OF the remains Of
the doomed prisoners to the place of in
terment.
The execution took place in the Jail
yark of the Toombs at 9.36.

and the ropes were adjusted. A mo-
ment after the culprits were dangling
ia the air.
HORRIBLE SCENE.
Then commenced horrible scene,
The knot had slipped around or else
become loose, and Ellis efforts to relieve
himself were desperate and caused the
most painful sensation among the spec
tators. He also managed to get his
right arm loose and reached over and
caught Thompson by the lapel Of the
coat and shook him with almost super
human force lie then twirled his legs
around Thompson and almost succeed
in clasping his feet behind the latter.
After giving several groans, he cried
out so distinctly that he could be heard
all over the yard, "Oh, save me y ooh,
save me y He had now managed to get
his hand in which he held a white
handkerchief, up to the moose and tug
ged with fearful energy.
1t was now believed that the hanging
would have been TAI ure in this case,
and some Of the deputy sheriEs shouted
for the sheriff who stood back. The
handkerchief, however, caught fast in the
moose and this, together with bis tuggng
frightened the moose and produced stran-
gulation.
The scere lasted nearly two minutes
and caused much intense ex element and
horrible feelings on the part Of the spec
tators. He struggled but only family
tor some minutes longer and was de-
clared dead by DR. Stratford and Shine
in ten minutes.

coi0r, nth the gloss ard freshness Of
gamh. Thin hair is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, SO that new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with pasty sediment, it
viii keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use viii prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off,
and consequently prevent badness.
The restoration of vitality it gives
to the scalp arrests and prevents
the formation of dandruff, which is
often SO uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara-
tons dangerous, and injurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else
can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich,
glossy lustre, and grateful perfume.
