The Former Public Administrator Of
sacramento County, CAL, aad his
Accomplish In Crime Hanged
to Death Yesterday.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-Tray Dye,
formerly public administrator of Sacramento
county, and his partner in crime, Ward An
dersou, were hanged at Sacramento for the
murder of A. NJ. Pulls, In August last. Last
night Dye took leave of his wife, and this
morning babe farewell to his children, father
and brothers. For some time past he has be-
haved in a wild and violent manner, but as
the end approached Gained himself and pre-.
served rational deme2nor except occasional
nervous outbursts. At an early hour this
morning. crowds gathered IN the streets and
on the tops of buildings near the courthouse,
but only the officials, spiritual advisers and
representatives of the press were admitted
to the courtyard. During the morning
Dye made arrangements for the dis
posal of his property, while Anderson,
who has preserved throughout an unmoved
tranquility, remained In conference with the
clergyman. At half-past eleven o'clock the
prisoners were notified to prepare for the
scaffold. Anderson came from his cell
smiling and self-possessed, while Dye was so
overcome with Amotion as to require sup
port. AT noon the prisoners assembled the
scaffold. While the shrouds were being
drawn over them, the clergyman read
statement concerning Anderson's spiritual
condition; also a statement written by An
derson, admitting the business OF the penal
ty, and expressing hope OF redemption:
Dye, meanwhile, was weak and pale, and
vomited twice, but remained quiet. The
clergyman then began a prayer; the nooses
| were adjusted, the black caps drawn over
their heads, and at thirteen minutes past
twelve O'Clock the drop fell. The necks of
| both of the condemned were broken by the
| fail, and in fourteen minutes they were pro-
| nounced dead. A post-mOrtem on the re-
mains of Dye Is now in progress with the
view of ascertaiuing the condition of his
BRAIN.

seekIng Conrederate Gold.

RICHMOND, Va, May 22.-What are
known as the "gold cases" were taken up for
trial here to-day in the United States circuit
court, before Judge r. w. Hughes. These
cases embrace about dozen suits on the part
of the United States government against ex-
State officials who were IN authority at the
time of the Confederate evacuation of Rich
mond, for amounts ranging from one to i've
thousand dollars, and eggregatiDg about
twenty thousand dollars. II Is claimed that
the insurgent government of Virginia had In
the treasury on April 2, 1865, quantity of
gold and silver with which the officers of that
government paid themselves and their SOL
diers IN advance, Governor William Smith
taking Eve thousand dollars, most of it in adj
vance By the public law the concueror is
entitled to the property of the conquered,
and to the rights of action of the conquered
power due from its debtors. The
United States government brings suit
as the conquering power against these
officers, but does not claim anything that be-
longs to the State of Virginia as State.
the United States government only claims
what belonged to the lnsurgent government
of Virginia, which was overthrown by its
armies IN April, 1865. This specie belonged
to the lnsurgent government OF Virginia as
such. The officers of that government as
such took this money, and the United States
government sues them as debtors of the IN
surgent government overthrown by the
Union army. The case against Ex-Governor
William Smith was the first put upon trial.
The government put IN all the proof deemed
necessary to establish its allegations. The
ex-governor, now nearly eighty years old.
was then put upon the stand. He made an
elaborate statement to the jury, reciting, In a
very interesting manner, the history of his
actions, doll gs and wanderings, as governor,
for weeks succeeding the capture of Rich
mond, until his surrender to General Patrick,
provost marshal of Richmond His story
was amusingly told, and at times judge,
jury, lawyers and audience were convulsed
with laughter Without getting through
with Ex-Governor Smiths testimony the trial
went over until tomorrow.

will add fuel to the flames, while that which
is hard to consume can be burned when no
cooking is being done. Simply throw your
wet garbage upon a wire-screen over your
ywater-course in the back yard for few
hours, and it will burn readily. All water
before it goes into the drains, either under
ground or on top, should go through fine
screen, and the solid matter left to be
burned. As to getting rid of wash-water,
dish-water, ETC.. l will just throw out hint
based on the experience of my household:
One rod square of ground, well spaded up &C.
casionally, will take care of all the waste
water from an ordinary family the year
round, and it will grow largely any veeeta-
bic you have mind to plant in it. At least
two-thirds of all the families in Memphis
could, if they would, adopt this plan-that
is, to get rid of the waste water. Every one
can cremate, and 80 bid goodbye to some
smells and garbage carts, beside much sick
ness and many thousand dollars of expense
to the city annually; to say nothing of the
rat nuisance. There is much else that have
made study; but this is, perhaps, more
than you will care to print at one time. Re-
specttully yours, CREMATIoNIsT.

THE OLD PEOPLE
Must So to Dancing school, Attend
Balls and FrOIIcs, and Barbecues
and Bran Dances, and SIch,
II They Want TO be
Healthy.

New York Star: A physician of New York
city; recommends dancing for old people, who,
he says, require it more than the young.
Under his direction, a dancing class has al
ready been formed, the junior member of
which is a lady of sixty five, and the senior,
lively old bachelor, who has completed his
eightieth year. The physician who expresses
his opinion on this subject as above, may not
regard it as of any Importance that one not
of the faculty should approve his suggestion,
and we do not propose to say anything as to
the healthfulness of dancing to elderly peo-
pie. But should the recommendation OF the
New \ ork physician meet with general APP
prevail and result In the adoption of his coun
sci, what a change would be effected in soci-
ETY.! It's the exception rather than the rule at
present TO see either ladies or gentlemen over
| forty years of age dancing. Ladies especial
| y, who have passed that period do not
practice the Terpsichorean art with the zest
| that characterized their younger years, but
| act as if they were under moral obligation to
| assume more digni6ed demeanor after that
age, with which dancing would be wholly in
consistent. There are without doubt numer-
| GUS exceptions to this general desertion from
the ranks OF the lightly tripping goddess by
her feminine followers. for ladies with good
sense and blessed with health do not part
| with either their spirits or activity SO early
| in life and it is unreasonable of them to
abandon the pursuit of dancing from senti-
ment. In other countries where 1t IS more
| fashionable for people or rather 1t is not I'M
fashionable for people far advanced in life to
| enjoy themselves dancing, although age has
frosted their hair. All of us have heard ma
| tives of the old world relate instances where
men and women past the term of life allotted
| by the psalmist have In the merry makings of
Europe demonstrated not only their skill in
dancing, but proved that old age had not de-
| prived them of the power to ''outlast in
| dance" younger competitors DESTROYS of the
renown acquired by holding out to tire the
| other down" On with the dance, let joy be
unconfned. Godsmith's pleasant picture of
rural life in France would be quite acceptable
as representing tEe latter years OF mans
existence in America, the
"Gay grandsire, skilled In gesticdore,
Who frisked beneath the burden Of the score"
would look as well here as under the skies of
Lorraine. Dancing is so desirable an accom-
plishment and useful withal that it might,
perhaps, be substituted in public schools for
the unmeaning exercises of calesthenics,
with advantage to the pupils, for while none,
especially girls, continue to throw her hands
| through the forms of the latter exercise, after
school days, the art of dancing imparts
pleasure through life.
