THE cable informs us this morning
that Juan Moncasi, the would-be regi-
eide, was executed by garrote. OF all
methods of execution. this Is certainly
the most barbarous Of any civilized
government, because Of its tortures,
while yet the condemned retains his
senses.
The subject usually sits ON low
stool, with his back to a powerful stake,
and his hands fastened thereto. An
iron collar passes around his neck and
the stake. This is frightened by a screw
until the life is crushed out of the miser-
able victim. 1t is necessarily slow and
bungling process, and no doubt is re.
voting In the extreme.

illustrious American was condemned

position Of Cork, when contrasted with

signer.

The supply of silver.


London, Jan. 4.-The Times, In its
financial article says that although the
available supply of bar silver will prob
ably in day or two be supplemented
by the amount brought by the Pacific
steamer just announced, none could
be had last Friday. Even If there had
been demand sufficiently urgent to
necessitate the payment Of higher rates
1t is doubtful whether any amounts
would have been forthcoming.
The demand from any quarter at
present is exceedingly limited, and as
an inquiry on Austrian account seems
now to have practically ceased, the
presence Of anything more than mere
nominal amount on the market would
only be prejudicial to the present price.

Another Great Bank Failure.

Another Great Bank Failure
London, Jan. 4--The stoppage Of
the Cornish bank will cause terrible
disaster among the traders Of West
Cornwall. The immediate cause Of the
suspension is a run on the bank the
last fortnight, resulting from rumors
that the late Sir Frederick Williams
was largely indebted to the bank, and
that large portion Of It's capital was
locked up In mines and in advances on
tin. A further stoppage Of the Cornish
mines is inevitable, and the failure Of
many private firms must follow. The
bank belongs to Tweedle, Williams &
Co. 1t was established about one hun

been before him for some days. 1t of the
"Crefeldt' velvet importations. which of late have
played so important r6ie in the Custom House by
being advanced to penalty rates. The decision just
rendered was upon an invoice OF seventy cases inn
ported by Messrs. Passavant X Co.. Of this city, per
steamer Weser, on June 23, valued at about $4,000
francs. The examiners of the Third Division adj
vanced tho value of the goods 20 per cent, against
which the firm protested and called tor reap
praisement. Mr.. Bulkley, of Durham, Buckley Il
Co., was appointed the merchant appraiser, and
when the re-exaniination took place he strongly
sustained the original invoice General Appraiser
Ketchun, however insisted upon tho advance, and
as he and the merchant apr User could not agree
the testimony taken at the rcappraisemcnt was sub
mttrd to the Collector, whose decision in the matter
is final As stated above, General Merritt sustained
the general appraiser, nd the Messrs. Passa-
want were obliged to pay not only the 23ls
per cent raised value, but also penalty
OF 30 per cent additional which the law imposes
upon all advances made upon invoices at or over lO
per cent. The rate of duty paid by Messrs. Passa-
want n Co. upon these velvets was 60 per cent,
and the addition, including the penalty OF 43is
cent. made these goods cost the importers 103la per

Municipal Gas Comp ny from tearing up the
streets of brooklyn and laying pipes should

fore Chiet Justice Nelson, of the CITY Court.
Several afiidavits were presented by defendants.
One was from II. NJ. benedict. president OF the COM
pany 1t set forth tho incorporation OF the defend
ants also OF the Mutual Gas Light Company; tho
Common Councils permission to the latter COM
pany to lay pipes, the permit Of the Board OF City
Works and the appointment OF u superintendent to
oversee the work by tho Board. Corporation
Counsel De Witt claimed that none OF the
franchises OF corporation were transmissible by
assignment, except in the case of railways.
General Tracy said that the question was whether
the citizens of Brooklyn should be furnished with
better and cheaper gas or whether tho old company
should continue to furnish tho worst kind of gas at
the highest possible prices. He claimed that tho
city could not refuse the authority to lay pipes.
The question of power to transfer franchise or
license, he said, was not involved. Decision was
reserved.
