THE nUnIAL0F JUmN WALLACE.

We spoke Yesterday of the arrival in
Wheeling OF the body OF JOHN w. WAL
LACE, the murderer, and of its remsin-
ing through the lonely hours of the
night in the depot here, with None 50
poor as TO 10 him reverence"
Early yesterday morning the faithful
railroad men, under whose care the
coffin had been placed, again took charge
of it, ind it was conveyed by the Hemp
field urin to West Alexander. 1t was
not generally known there that the
lynching bad taken place, until just as
the tram was approaching the station.
When TIE tldings spread from house to
house, the people Aocked TO the
depot in large numbers, hoping
to Obtain glance at the remains of so
notorious criminal. They were sue.
cesstul. The stricken father had been
patiently waiting at the station for all
tina: lett of bis toy, the boy whom he mad
danced upon his knee and been so proud
and ioud of when he WAS little inno-
cent child, ard whom he had expected
TO be equally proud 0! in he strong man
hood His hopes snd wishes for the lads
well being were buried forever, and as
tao sombre cotiH, whose very shspe is
always suggestive o! sorrow, was laid at
his ICE. upon the platform, he barred his
head, already stre&ked with silver by time
and care, to the cold, bitter wind and
asked friend to open the cutlir, as he
wanted Z" to see how thay had murdered
HIM" Before this was done, something
sad and pitsble in the extreme
occurred. l, is an memorable rule with
railroad and express companies, that 10
freight shall he delivered until the
charges are paid. The father did lao;
have the money necessary to pay these
charges, and at first he was refused per-
mission 10 touch the coffin, but as soon
rs the real state OF the csse WAS under
stood, the railroad authorities turned the
remsins over to him, without sn urplcss-
ant word that would add TO his heavy
burden OF trouble. When the body was
uncovered. the face looked pesceful and
showed no distortion. The only marks
of violence which were visible, were the
deep red circles around the neck and
wrists, caused by the fatal rope. The
last earthly thing that touched the
rigid face of the dead, were the pure.

How They shut of Debate In
the Dominion.

OTTAWA, Ont, April IA most extraottl
nary scene occurred In the House Of Com
mons during Friday night and Saturday.
The subject Of the dismissal Of the looa
ministry by the Lieutenant Governor of Que
bee was brought up on Friday for discussion
and the debate was continued by the minis
terialists and oppUsltlonists until Il
at night. At that hour 1t was rllnored thai
the government was determined to force q
vote, not so much to preclude further discus
sion as to secure the advantage that a vote
would give Of showing at The meeting o
electors at church on Sunday, that the Lieu
tenant Governor was supported In his COuI
fetm by the House OF Commons.
The opposition on learning of this were
bound to stave off a vote until Monday If pos
sible, and accordingly rose one by one to
speak against time. The scene which fol
lowed beggars description. The government
supporters howled, sang and made oil sorts ol
noises ,imaagiInables;, The French members

continued nearly the whole Of Saturday.
One Of the leaders Of the opposition having
protested against the noise, the Speaker read

as hopeless, and amid caterwauling, scream

effected. 1t being agreed between the Premier
and Sir John Mcdonald that vote should
take place Monday night at o'clock.

A Committee Of Citizens Assemble and

On Friday last, between the hours of mid
night and o'clock In the morning, the famil,
OF Mr.. Devezln Olivier, residing in the parish
of Iberia, about four miles from tho town o
New Iberia, We're suddenly awakened by an
unusual roaring noise coming from the out.
side.
On going out of the house to discover the
cause, they saw their sugar. house enveoped
In flames and the cotton ginnery adjoining it
also prey to the devouring element.
The neighbors hurried to the scene of tho
disaster to offer their services in putting out
tne fire, ana when nearing the stables they
discoyered negro about to set fire TO the
building. He was Immediately seized, and
such was the Indignation felt by everybody
at the conduct Of this wretch that it was re-
solved TO hurl him into the blazing ruins in
order to visit upon him the punishment he so
justly deserved
However, Mr.. Olivier interceded and saved
the wretch by eounsellng moderation "He
1 must be punished, said this gentleman: "but
| even IL slowly"
The buildings were totally DESTROYED with
the exception of the stables
Inc negro was closely guarded till dav.
, when the news of the occurrence spread ranidfv
throughout the parish bringing to the scene
, large number of the friends of Mr.. Olivier
{ who all deeply sympathized with him on such
! an Unforeseen calamity.
2 All were SO highly incenscd Mt such dast-
ardly action on the part OF this incendiarv.
that committee of about hundred gentle
/ men was chosen forthwith, and formed into
tribunal to pass sentence on the negro.
The charges were heard against him: his
4 statement was heard, and after a brief de-
n liberation the committee resolved unani-
mousiy to hang the criminal on the spot. He
was allowed the benefit of explaining his con
nncti Ihe negro said that he was the one
sho had last autumn set fire to the planta-
TONS OF Messrs. Grevemberg and Fay In that
sNaeighborhood, and that he expected to burn
ssome more should he live
When asked what reason prompted him to
\ 10 TINS heilish work, he replied that he was
Ut on ms mead. and whenever he felt so had
\ VI lnvlnclble desire to commit arson
i ms statement not being satisfactory to
isne clClzens exposed to that mans dangerous
'ropensities, rope was procured, and in a
ew minutes the lifecss body of the incendi-
isry was swinging in mid-air.
