SUCCESS FULLY SWUNG OFF.
NASHVILLE, Feb. 2O.-Burnell Smith and
John Hall were executed at Murfreesboro
at 1:3O P. NJ. to-day for the murder of Major
Pugh last May. They we're pronounced
dead within seventeen minutes and hurried
to house short distance from the gallows
and an attempt was made at resuscitation
but failed. Hall died easy but Smith
struggled. Between 10000 and 900 peo-
pie were present.
FREMEN CREMATED.
New YORK, Feb. 2O.-The large five story
iron front building, 1884 and 1856 Broadway,
burned this evening. Losses estimated as
follows: Hazen, Todds & Co., importers of
silk, SAC, 1000; Dickerhoff, Rnfiarr g. Co.,
tailor trimmings, $3.50, 200; James Wilde,
Jr., & Co., manufacturing tailors, $3.50, 900.
Loss on building $4,000; insurance un-
known. During the progress of the fire two
companies on the roof made an effort to cut
holes through the thick plates of tin, but
feeling the roof giving away, they
were obliged to retreat. Two
members of Hook and Ladder Co. No. 1,
Thos. L. Dougherty and John F. Cassidy,
were the last to desist from their work and
remained too late to escape. The roof gave
way suddenly near the center, near where
they were standing, and with blanched faces
and cries of horror the two doomed tiremen
fell into the blazing abyss to be consumed.
Their comrades who saw them disappear
were nearly unnamed by the awful spec
tacle. The remaining firemen on the roof
hastily descended to the ground and the at
tempt to fight the fire from the roofs was
abandoned.

thirteen freight cars were ditched, near Rem

NEGLIGENT CLERK.
SAN FRANo1sCo, Feb. 2O.-Chas. Colby was
to have been hanged at Santa Cruz to-day
for the murder of Harry Williams in Octo-
Der, 1873, but owing to some negligence on
the part of the clerk of the supreme court,
to which the case had been appealed, the pa
pers necessary to the carrying out of the
sentence were not received to-day, and to
avoid the necessity of re-sentence the
Governor, by request, telegraphed respite
till March 7th. Great excitement at Santa
Cruz over the delay, and some fear IS enter
tanned that the citizens will take the execu-
ton of the law into their own hands.

MIA, from Liverpool, reports terrific gales,

near Claysville, Pa, was burned to the ground.
The fact that it was an incendiary fire was

in Washington county, but not having the
means to support wife, he undertook to
DESTROY his father and sister in the
flames, 80 that he would come into
possession of the property and thus be en-
abled to carry out his wishes. Before set
ting fire to the house he locked his sister in
one room and tied his father in another
room. Fortunately servant discovered
them before the flames reached them, and
with difficulty saved their lives. Young

Gated. The family are highly respected in
the community in which they live.

neiehborhood of the accident under treat
ment, are but slightly damaged and are
