tThis mtrring, at IL o'clock Mladetski
was publicly hanged on the Simeon Place.
close to the Tsarskoe Selo railway terminus.
Great crowds iocked to the place of exc
cuti0n fromau parts of the town, and by
the appointed time there were gathered
some 10000 spectators on the large plain
in the centre of which stood the rough
gibbet, Immediately surrounded byi about
q battalion and a half of infantry drawn
from various regiments of the Guard. The
prisoner was brought from the fortress ON
a black. cart, surrounded by a sotnia Of
Cossacks with lances couched. He was
dressed in black prison clothes, and tied to
a high seat, with his back to the horses
and a large card on his breast bearing the
words estate criminal.5 He seemed per-
fectly Indifferent, and even appeared to
smile at times as he looked round on the
crowd from the scaffold during the reading
of the sentence. There was no beating of
drums, as ON the occasion of the execution
of SOlOvief. When the priest mounted the
scaffold, the condemned man entered into
a few minutes conversation with him, appa-
rently declining the last consolation of
religion, but finally kissing the cross.
Then, turning to the crowd, he bowed on
all sides. A few minutes afterwards the
white sack was put over him and the SEN
tence carried out. He remained suspen-
ded 20 minutes. just as three ASS
tant executioners were taking down the
body, the police captured seven men to-
gether in that part of the crowd which had
somewhat broken the weak Gordon of police
and got close upon the troops enclosing the
scatfold. They were poorly clad and rather
dirty-looking, one or two rather like stu
dents. Seemingly they had uttered some
seditious remarks. Tight in the clutches
of the police they were taken away, sur
rounded by mounted gendarmes. Although
the police force present was rather small,
perfect order reigned, and the fact that
b ercondemned was taken on Wednesday,
tried yesterday, and executed to day will
no doubt, have a wholesome effect"

VOLCANIC LINES IN EUROPE.

In December last DIR. E. Hal
koussy' read a paper before the Geo
graphical Society of Leipzig on
Volcanic curves in Europe" show
ing that the whole of this division of
the Globe, with the sole exception Of
Russia, is intersected from north to
south and from east to west by a
series OF lines of volcanic action,
nearly parallel to and i%ntersecting
each other. He traced two principal
lines : one from the Crimea to Lis
bon, crossing the Balkan Peninsula,
Italy, Sardinia, the Balearic Islands,
and the southern Sierra of Spain;
the other beginning in the north, at
the BAL Eli in Sweden, and passing
through Bohemia, the Euganees in
Iombardy, through Italy and Sicily
to the small volcanic islands between
Europe and Africa. The spaces en-
closed by these lines are always free
from volcanic phenomena.-Mmthly

The chief news from France con-
Germs the interesting discussions in
the Senate when clause Z of M. Jules.
Ferry's Educational Bill was rejected.
This clause aims at preventing I'M
authorized religious orders from carry
ing on the education of the young,
and hence has been thought by the
moderate liberals to be an interference
with the free expression of opinion
which they themselves advocate.
The rejection of the clause seems to
have given general satisfaction to all
the. conservative and moderate par
ties.

THE FRACTURE OF THE
DUILIO'S GUN.
From the Timee).
From the Timee).
SpEzrA, March 6

tins morning steamed from the little
jetty at Spezia out into the bay carried
a group of Italians and Englishmen
well ~contented that the m%onotonous
experiments with the 100-ton gun
were to be brought to a close to-day.
Thirteen rounds had been fired during
the past two days to test, not the guns
they were considered to be beyond
reproach-but the smooth working of
all the accessories. The turrets had
been moved by hydraulic power SO
smoothly that no one standing within
ever two feet of them could detect by
the ear that 700 tons of material were
being rotated close to him. The guns
had been fred with charges as high
as 551lb. of Italian Fossano powder,
the massive guns, 100 tons in weight
each, had recoiled against the hydrau-
lie presses with a speed of 21ft. a Sc
cond, and yet had been checkedint their
career, and stopped before they had
moved more than 45in. Shot weigh
ing 2,00Olb. each had been projected
with a velocity of more than 1,7OOft.
per second, and with IN energy equal
to 10000 foot tons, yet all had gone
well. The commission whose duty
it was to superintcnd the preliminary
trials had expressed themselves per.
tectly satisfied with the results; SO
that they saw no necessity for their
presence to-day, and all were look
ing forward TO a satisfactory end to
the trials. When the Italian and
English officers arrived on board the
Duilio they found that some delay
was necessary, because the great
cartridges, each Sit. long, were not
all on board. Before long, however,
tho two guns of the aft turret were
loaded with battering charges and
trained to fire on the port broadside.
The confidence in the guns and their
accessories bad by this time become
so great and so firmly established
that both men and officers were
anxious to be present within the
turret during the time of the firing.
Thus 1t happened that during what
was really only a preliminary trial
an unnecessary number of men sur
rounded the guns about to be fired.
There was no possibility of double
loading, for, in the first place, the
representatives of Sir William Arm
strong were on board, and, in the
second place, many curious Italian
eyes were watching every detail of
the loading. AS the trumpet sound
ed the now weIl-known calls, two in
number, before the final sound to
fire, the officers, visitors, sailors, and
workmen, with whom the ship was
crowded, disposed themselves in the most
favourable positions for observing the
path of the shot and the magnificent
columns of spray, which rise at least SOFT
into the air when the projectile strikes the
surface of the bay of Spezia. The last
sound was given, the electric circuit was
closed, and the usual roar, as different
from the sound of other guns as Big Ben
is from other bells, was heard, and caught
up sharply by rolling echos from the
mountains ON the coast. But before the
echoes had time to answer, a shower OF
bolt-heads from the turret fell upon the
deck, driven by a force not for the moment
understood, and long before the reverbera-
tiOns a ceased their mutteringS among

A Surprised Physician

dying patient recovers through the inter
position of humble German: Some weeks
ago DR.. c., a verl reputable and widely
known physician, living on c. street, was
called to attend very complicated case Of
rheumatism. Upon arriving at the house he
found man about forty years of age, lying i'll
a Frustrated and serious condition, with his
whole frame dangerously affected with the
painful disease. He prescribed for the patient
but the man continued to grow worse, and on
Sunday evening he was found to be in very
alarming condition. The knees and elbows
and larger joints were greatly intiamed and
could not be moved. 1t was only with extreme
difficulty that the patient could be turned in
bed, with the aid of three or four persons.
The weight of the clothing was so oppressive
that means had to be adopted to keep it from
the patients body.
The doctor saw that his assistance would be
of no avail, aud left the house. the members
of the family following him to the door, weep
ing. At this critical hour, q neighbor, poor
and humble German shoemaker, appeared to
| the grief-smitten ones as saving angel. He
| had heard Of the despair of the family, and
now asked them to try his remedy. and ac-
cordingly brought forth a bottle of st. Jacobs
| Oil. As drowning man will catch at straws,
So the poor wife applied this remedy; she had
no hope, but would try anything, as matter
patient very much; after few hours they
used it again, and, wonder of wonders, the
pain vanished entirely! Every subsequent ap-
| plication improved the sufferer and in tive
days he was we'll and out. When the doctor
called few days after, he was indeed sur
| Erised; for, instead of a corpse, he found s
| new made map,-ELehdnge.

HARD CISES.

Ore Pleads GutIty-A Second Is Acquitted
with a Ou .lification, and II Third is Still
en- Trial.
sfhe district court resumed the hearing OF
the criminal calendar at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning, Judge Brill presiding. The case
of John Sullivan, indicted the second time
for malicious mischief, was first taken mp,
and upon being arraigned the prisoner
pleaded not guilty. He was remanded for
trial.
The case of the State against Roger
Healey, charged with an assault on Malachi
Welch, was then called, and jury being
sworn. the case was taken up for trial. The
history of this unfortunate affair has been
fully detailed to the readers of the GLOBE.
1t will be remembered that the fight took
place last October in Stahlmann's brewery,
and originated from q windy dispute, IN
spired by too much beer. During the fracas
the lie was given, when Healey struck his
antagonist with beer glass, inflicting en-
ugly wound.
Yesterdays testimony did not differ from
the accounts of the affair already given. The
complaining witness testified to having met
Healey during the afternoon, and IN the
course of the conversation the parties drank
three quarts of beer.
Towards nightfall they visited the river
for the purpose of inspecting quantity OF
wood, after which they returned to the brew
cry, where more beer was drank which accel-
lerated the fight. The defendant, middle
aged and respectfully appearing man, gave
an almost similar version of the affair, and
expressed great pain at having perpetrated
the act.
The case was given to the jury about
o'clock and ably defended by Mr.. j. D.
O'Brien, who made an eloquent plea for the
prisoners acquittal, placing particular stress
on his former good character as proven by
witnesses, his advanced age, and the punish
ment Of offepse and remorse which had al
ready condoned for the offense.
The case was ably prosecuted by County
Attorney Eagan.
After short absence the jury returned
with a verdict of not guilty as to the ''as
sault with deadly weapon with intent to do
great bodily harm,'' but guilty OF assault,
recommending the prisoner to the mercy OF
the court. Sentence was deferred.
The case of Levi A. Cooley, indicted on
the charge of embezzling the sum of $40
from young man named w. w. Church,
the same having arose from an alleged
crooked horse trade, was then taken up and
was on trial up to the time Of adjournment
last evening.

Mrs. Carroll Acquitted =.

Mrs. Dennis Carroll and her two fresh
and blooming daughters, Mary and Kate
were arraigned before the municipal court
yesterday morning on the charge of throw
ing stones and other missiles at the residence
occupied by Mr.. Geo. Underwood. The lat.
ter complained that his mansion was nightly
bombarded by fragments of rock, decayed
cabbages, old oyster cans and other refuse
matter too numerous for mention. The tes
timony went to show that considerable ami
mostly existed between the two families
from which a ruction had been evolved eGua
to the famous affair between the Kilkenny
cats.
Mrs. Carroll denied the soft impeachment
and the testimony of herself and daughters
was given with such an air of veracity thai
it could not be questioned. Mary Carroll, s
pretty Hibernian lass, and her eight year ole
sister, both denied having been guilty of the
offense, which was substantiated by the tes
timony of their father. The case was dis
missed by Judge Flint as too ridiculous fol
serious consideration.

The Murray COMPANY.

Gilberi's NEUROLOGICAL comedy of "Pyg-
malion and Galatea,' as performed by Muir
rays Metropolitan company last evening
was one os the most pleasing and artistic en-
tertainments ever given in this city. Myth
ical though the story is, it was invested with
a rare charm by the company, all of whom
played their parts with signal ability. Miss
Garland as Galatea looked and acted the
character to perfection-a veritable Animated
statue, and received hearty and repeated ap-
plause. Mr.. Bryton's Pygmalion was excel
lent, while Messrs. Lloyd and Irving and
Miss Clara Baker were also fully equal to
their roles. The farce of 'Toodles" was, of
course, laughable in the extreme, and the
audience which, by the way, was the largest
of the season, went away we'll pleased.
The company will return on Friday even
ing, when Jules Nerne's spectacular drama
"Around the World in Eighty Days" will be
Droduced,

The Sixth Ward Again Visited by tho Fiery
Demon-Mr. Burkhards Building Burn
! ed to the Ground-LOss and Insurance.
| At $50 o'clock last night an alarm OF fire
WAS sent in from box II, situated In the
Sixth ward. Engine No. l, hose carts l, 2
| and 4, and hook and ladder No. l, and 6
large crowd attracted by the bright flames
Started for the fire. When the department
reached the scene the story ard
a half frame bnilding situated
at the corner of Owatonna road and Isabel
street was all ablaze. The blacksmith and
wagon shop of Minea & Mooney, which oc-
cupied the adjoining lot, was also III danger
of being burned up. The firemen, however,
went to work, and by laying $500 feet of
hose, all there was on the four carts, No. L
steamer. which was at the creek near Brug-
geman's brewery, soon had stream of
water on the fire.
The flames in the meantime had made
such rapid progress that it was seen at q
glance that the building was doomed, and
the firemen turned their attention and water
on the wagon shop which, by their efforts,
was kept from burning.
At the time the fire was discovered there
was no one in the building, MIR. Burkhard
and his wife having left the house at 8
O clock, to make call in lower town, and
did not return until the fire was about over.
The fire broke out in the rooms over the
store, and, it is supposed, caught from
stove.
MIR. Burkhard had his stock and house
hold furniture insured for $1,000, but estl-
mates his loss at double that amount.
The loss will not be as heavy as is sup
posed, from the fact that nearly all the goods
in the store were removed as soon as the fire
was discovered.
The building, excepting corner of the
rear extension, was burned to the ground,
and was valued at 81 800. 1t was owned by
Henry Peters, and was insured for 500 IN
the British American Insurance company.
At 1890 o'clock, just as the fire was got
under control, No. engine was disabled by
the blowing out of fue. An alarm was
sent to No engine house, and that appa-
ratus Immediately responded and worked for
over an hour, it being l O'Clock when the
order was given to take up hose.
The excellent manner in which the ire
men handled the fire, Notwithstanding the
obstacles presented, reflected great credit
on the fire department of the city.
