Triple EXecutiOn-Three Men Hanged
 Tor a DastardIy AssaasinatiOn.
 LEBANON, May 13.-Very few people were admitted to the jail yard thhs morning to wit ness the execution of Brandt, Hummel and Wise. The entire morning was taken up with religious services. At 10:15 a.. En. Wise gave to go to the gallows. The scene was very sol emn. Wise left his cell first, preceded by ths Rev. Messrs. Hay and Light, and asosndsd the scaffold with firm step and smile upon his countenance. He was allowed to make the following statement ''What have to say is that all are guilty, as I testified in court and confessed all about it, and how Hammel got in That is all I have to say"
 Brandt and Hummel were brought out ac- companied by the deputy sheriff and clergy men. They were all clad in dark suits with the valley, which had been presented early in the morning by their friends. An impress sive scene took place upon the gallows previous to the execution. Deputy Sheriff Deninger, the clergymen, Sheriff Grail and assistants went upon the scafold and shook hands with the culprits, each of whom thanked
 
 generation of two years, and expressed the desire to meet him in the world to come. At Wise's special request he was allowed to visit the cells of all the other prisoners in the jail, and while bidding them goodbye impressed upon them the necessity of leading honest and virtuous lives At 11:15 8. m. Sheriff Grail stepped upon the platform and adjusted the ropes around the necks of the three men. At the same time his deputies bound them hand and foot and placed over their heads white muslin caps. Both Brandt and Hum mel were asked if they had anything to gay and they replied in the negative. All three men knelt upon the platform of the trap and engaged in prayer, while the Rev. Mir. Shsntz read appropriate passages from the Scriptures. All persons having withdrawn from the scaf fold, Sheriff Grail sprung the trap, and all three of the men swung into the air without contortion or even the movement of muscle. At 11:30 a. m. the men were pronounced dead. The culprits were hanged for drown ing an old man in order to get the $1o, GOO in surance on his life.

 posed by the Grant Men.
 CHICAGO, May 13.-The Grant men propose a compromise on the basis of the Washburne and Blaine men giving them one-third of the Cook county delegation.

Women Fighting the Flames,

VrNEIAND, N. J., May 13.-A singular fire occurred yesterday afternoon. It originated from boiler in Hibbard's mill. In twenty minutes the mill was burned to the ground. The flames then swept up the street in tho direction of the business section of tho town. Sparks were blown in every direction, and in Q few minutes there were at least fourteen fires blazing in various quarters, and for an hour the town seemed doomed. But the flames were at last got under control, the women proving themselves very useful in the absence of an efficient fire department. Ladies be- longing to some of the wealthiest families formed lines and passed the buckets of water from hand to hand. They worked bravely and tirelessly until the threatened town was saved The livery stable and private resi- dences near the mill disappeared as though they had been match boxes. Wooden build ings were burned down in fifteen minutes. The total loss is about $1o,o0o; insurance unascertained.
