suspended between heaven and earth
Beavers neck was broken by the fall, which
was over six feet, although intended to be
only four feet. With the exception of
two or three slight spasmodic motions of the
legs there was no struggle. The body
twisted around several times as the rope be-
came untwisted from stretching, but there
was NO other motion.
JOHN T. ABLEs, over sixty years of age,
was hanged at Carthage, No., at Il 20
o'clock on February Is. He killed John l..
Lane, in Mcdonald County, No, in April
1874. Ables had young wife of loose ways,
who eloped with a man named Dodson, but
not until she had become notorious in the
locality for her in6delities. One of her
paramours was Lane, who is also supposed
to have connived at the elopement. After
the woman disappeared the old man seemed
to realize for the first time what had been
going on. He went to Lane and hired him
to help search for the missing woman.
They started off together, and subsequently
Lanes body, with two bullet holes in it,
was discovered in a ravine. His horse and
revolver were found in Ables's possession.
The doomed man was plentifully dosed with
whisky, and slept till almost noon. On the
way to the scafold he was very profane, but
when given an opportunity to speak,
refused to say anything. The execution
was witnessed by several thousand people,
Before leaving the jail, Ables made what he
termed was confession, asserting that
Lane first shot at him, and that he fred in
self-defense.

yesterday, in regard to the inquiry as to the
issue of bonds by certain railroads, predi-
Gated upon conditional grants of lands of

brief dicussion the subject was laid over
for a week. Consideration was resumed of
the Silver bill, and Mr.. Ingalls, spoke in
favor thereof, and the Debate on the bill
continued way into the night. The vote on
the main question was delayed by dilatory
amendments and long speeches. The ses-

A Wild Family.

The Cochecton correspondent of the
Port Jervis Gazette tells of a lad in that
place who is called Tamarac," who
stole horse from Honesdale man for
whom he was working, took the animal
to his fathers residence in Tamarac
Swamp, near Cochecton, killed it, sold
the hide while the family ate the flesh,
of which they were very fond. The
horse was worth about $13O, and it's
owner has had the lad arrested and
taken to Honesdale He will probably
be put in place where he will be fed on
something else beside horse meat. The
horse hide was found at Selig's tannery,
where it had been sold by the young
thief.
The Tamaracs" are Dutch. Their
homeis curiosity. The house issituated
in a deep swamp; is built of poles,
rooted with branches, pine boughs, and
mud. Their bed is the ground, covered
with leaves, and in this miserable hovel
do the parents and all their children
sleep and eat. The ground around this
hut is strewn with the skulls and Other
bones of horses, sheep, dogs, cows, etc.
that have been taken to the place
slaughtered and eaten. 1t cannot Be ex
pected that family living in this way
will bring up their offspring in strictly
moral manner.

African Cruelty to Animals.
Extract from stanley's daryl


From Waukamba to Ulrijiddizzy,
distance of eight miles, we journeyed by
the private horse railway of King Koko-
funki. To me the ride was melancholy
and most unpleasant from the protracted
suffering it entailed on man and beast.
The car, crowded to semi-suffoc cation, was
drawn by two wretched horses, whose
languid trot, lean sides and hanging
heads indicated their exhausted con-
dition. They could not live more than
a year at best, and it was evident that
they were worked up to the last ounce of
strength they were capable of exerting.
The driver was clad in rags, and, as
he told me, was forced to stand on his
feet sixteen or seventeen hours day-a
position that tends to weaken any man
about the back and loins. l saw hun
dreds of men and beasts similarly over
worked in the domains of King Koko-
funki. Yet of the thousands on thou
sands transported by them, few, if any,
seemed to realize that their daily rides
were gained at the expense of such pro-
tracted animal suffering. However, the
Waukambas are savages, and can
scarcely be expected to be possessed OF
any of those finer instincts which char
acterize our own race. endeavored to
reason with his Royal Highness against
such constant inhumanity, but the old
brute had the presumption to tell me
that his method was an exact copy OF
the treatment exercised toward men and
animals on the Third Avenue and other
New York railroads. The misrepresen-
tation which is instilled into the minds
of these people concerning our manners
and customs is certainly shameful, and ]
have taken every opportunity to contra
dict the monstrous lies afloat among the
Africans concerning us.

Shocking Scenes in a Church.

lRichmond Qnd.) Cor. Cincinnati Commercial.l
City Marshal Lew. Shafer, Just returned
from Knightstown, reports that himself,
Park Page, from Richmond, and Officers
Kehoe, of Indianapolis, and Harry Haynes,
of Knightstown, took Harry FoxweIl, the
Knightstown saloon-keeper arrested on sus-
plclon of being the murderer of John w.
White, to Carthage lately, and arrived at
the church just as the funeral services over
the murdered man were completed. They
took the prisoner into the church to look at
the corpse. He evinced such agitation that
the murdered mans sister screamed in
alright. Instantly the crowd in the church
made rush upon the prisoner, whom they
tried to force from the officer. Revolvers
were drawn, the women screamed, the
preacher leaped upon chair and exhorted
the crowd to keep the peace, and only owing
to his influence were the officers able to re-
move Foxwell from the church.
Upon the street the mob of several hun
dred made another rush upon the officers,
demanding the prisoner, and crying Shoot
the murderer" Hang him, %" Stone him to
DEATH" and such like expressions. The
officers forced their way through the Gro wd
with their revolvers, and took the prisoner
to Justices Office, privately secured a
hack, drove rapidly from town and took the
nearly twenty miles. Arriving there, they
were met by large crowd, but had no diff
Guilty in locking up the prisoner in Jail.
FoxweH is a Baltimore rough, and bears a
bad reputation. He swore that the tramp
arrested here on Monday had split wood
for him on last Friday, and that on Monday
| he returned to his saloon, showed great
| agitation, and confessed to the crime. He
had on the murdered mans overcoat, and
had other stolen property upon his person
! The facts are the tramp at the time was q
prisoner here charged with vagrancy.
| Footprints at the scene of the murder fl
the boots worn by Foxwell, who says thai
he can prove that he was at the saloon at the
time Of the murder. This is denied by wit
nesses, who swear he was not at the saloor
until ten o'clock that night.
1t is the general belief that Foxwell il
| guilty, and he would have been lynchet
but for the firmness of the officers and few
law-abiding citizens who anticipated an ef
fort would be made to lynch the prisoner.

Victor Emanuel's Disease.

The origin of the disease, which was
pleuro-pneumonia of the ri ght side, with
symptoms of military fever, was chill
taken during perspiration. The King
constantly refused to submit to the direc-
tions~ of the physicians, who recon-
mended him to wear flannel. al am
fifty-eight years old and l have never
worn any" That is what he said. The
people of the palace say that the King
took cold while standing in his shirt
sleeves in one of the open windows OF
the Quirinal which looked into the gar
den. When he didn't sleep the King
had the habit of smoking his cigal
at the window, and it is there he must
have taken his fever and the disease OF
the lungs. Up to the Sth of January
the day preceding his death, the King
showed his displeasure, although laugh
ing, at the absolute interdiction O
smoking.

SHEFFIELD Telegraph: A poor woman
lay very i'll in her scantily furnished
home in Sheffield. The doctor was sent
for and came. He at once saw that hers
was a very grave case, and that she had,
as he thought, little chance of recovery,
even if she could get the nourishment
her illness required. As he was about
to leave the question was put: When
shall we send for you again, Doctor
aWell," was the reply, as .hsn he looked ,as at
wretched surroundings, al don't think
YOU need send for me again. She can not
possibly get better, and to , save y. you u
certificate for her burial" And he did.
After the Doctor departed, the woman
women always were willful-got better
rapidly. She has now completely recov,
cred, aud goes about carrying her burial
certificate with her.

LOVELY woman sleeps with revol-
yer under her pillow in Nevava. At
dead of night plucky little woman in
Eureka awoke to find burly burglar
prowling about her room, and ransack-
ing the bureau. She did not scream.
She lay as still as a corpse, and waited
until he entered the parlor. Then she
took revolver from its nest underneath
her pillow, and, creeping to the door
way, leveled it at the intruder, and,
without tremor in her voice, COM
manded him to give up his plunder.
There was fire in her eye, and iron In
her tones, and the burglar quailed. A
bracelet, gold chain, a pair of ear
rings, all the jewels which he had found
in the top bureau-drawer, he laid on the
parlor table and meekly asked her If
she had any further remarks to make.
She told him he ought to be ashamed of
himself, and expressed her keen regret
that the scantiness of her toilet would
prevent her conducting him to iail,
He bowed gravely and left the house.
The little woman then dressed herself
lighted lantern, went to the furnace
where her husband was employed and
told him about it.

AT Oshkosh, Wisconsin, three gam
blers laid plan to clean out fourth at
poker. The victim was dealt four aces
to induce him to bet, but was given six
cards so as to to make misdeal. But
" greeny" backed his four for all he was
worth, and won, when his opponent
charged him with having another card
secreted about his person. A search re-
vealed nothing, and he departed with
his winnings. 1t was afterward dis
covered that he had slipped the extra
card into sandwich which he was
eating while playing, and had actually
eaten it.

The writer of the weather reports in
oneof the English journals incidentally
remarks that thunder-storms are yearly
becoming less and less frequent in the
neighborhood Of London, and attributes
this fact TO the publication of the
Thames, and the improved drainage of
the city. He adds that the course of
the most violent thunder-storms follows
the line Of polluted rivers, stagnant
ponds, swampy grounds and badly
drained towns, which exhale large vol
umes Of nitrous, sulphurous, and other
unwholesome vapors.

IN an articleon carriage manufacture,
Land and Water says, that great difficulty
Is experienced in England in getting
6rst-class artisans to perform the work
which increases the serious nature of
foreign competition. Unionists steadily
oppose the use of machinery, although
the work executed by it is better and
more certain than that of hand labor.
And here IL is that other nations, Ameri-
cans in particular, have an advantage ;
the wood work, such as wheels, etc.,
supplied by them, being much better
than can possibly be attained in Eng
land. The importation of American
made hickory wheels is now very ex-
tensive and daily increasing.

GENERAL DIAz is a very unostenta-
tious man, and lives within his moderate
means. The White House at Washing
ton is palace compared with the sim
plicity Of his surroundings. 1t has, like
all Mexican houses, large courtyard,
and is two stories high. There are no
soldiers nor funkies to bar the way.
The general is a man of fine presence,
every inch a soldier, tall and straight,
rather spare than corpulent. He wears
his thick dark hair closely cut, medium
sized mostache overshadowing clean
shaved chin. He is a man of about
forty years of age. His manner is cor
dial, and bears, like his face, the i'm
press Of boldness and frankness. In fact,
there is a magnetism about the man
which, perhaps more than anything else,
has raised him to his present ehlinence,
and is the cause of his great popularity
