Murderer Hanged In Brooklyn.

NEW YORK, July 2l.-James +. Walsh,
the murderer OF Barbara Groenthal, was
executed at Raymond-Street jail, Brook
lyn, this morning. The execution was
private and devoid OF sensational incident.
There were present about 800 spectators.
There was a large crowd gathered on the
street. During the early part OF the night
the doomed man exhibited little nervous
ness and dissemination TO sleep. The
leave-taking with his mother, brother, and
sister had deeply affected him. Later
Walsh went to bed, but slept uneasy. He
awoke about 8 O'Clock this morning and
dressed himself, rcmarking that he felt
pretty well, and was prepared to
die. He sent for the undcr-sheriff and
made a deposition Of his effects. Later his
spiritual advisers arrived and celebrated
mass. He took no breakfast, but remained
in prayer until shortly before 10 o'clock,
when the sheriff came to his cell and read
the death-warrant. After this was done
his arms were pinioned by the hangman,
who also adjusted the moose around his
neck and put the black cap on his head.
! Then the procession started for the gal
lows. the Rev. Fathers Donahue and Gala
cher walking on each side OF the con-
! demned man. Walsh walked without
any support, Father Gallagher reading
prayers. When the gallows was reached
Walsh was placed underneath the rope
without any ceremony, and the moose adj
/ iusted. He kissed the crucitiX, and the
black cap was drawn down over his face.
| The thud OF the eXecutioner's axe fol-
lowed. Walsh was ierked into the air, and
had a fall of two feet before he brought
the rope taut. The knot slipped around
to the back of his neck, and his head was
thrown forward. There were two or three
conyulsive movements Of the limbs, and
three minutes later there was slight move
ment of the shoulders. After that his body
became limp, and there was no further
movements. At 1912 his pulse was 40 and
| infrequent. At 1914 the heartbeat could
scarcely be heard. The doctors pronounced
him dead in nine minutes. The body was
subsequently placed in casket and given
to the uncle OF the deceased. 1t was buried
at the Cemetery OF the Holy Cross.

stantinople, July 18th, is published. After
justifying the bombardment OF Alexandra,
the dispatch states that her Matesty's Gov
eminent now see no alternative but q re-
course to force to put an end to the intolera-
BILE state Of affairs in Egypt. II would be
most in accordance with the principles OF
international law that that force should be
the one Of sovereign power. This Is I'm
practicable on account OF the unwillingness
OF the Sultan to act, and IL will become
necessary to devise other measures. Her
Majesty's Government continues to hold the
view that any intervention should represent
the united action and authority OF Europe.
They have, in fact, no interest or objects In
regard to Egypt inconsistent with the rest
Of Europe or the Egyptian people. Their
desire Is that the navigation Of the canal
shall be unrestricted; that Egypt shall be
well and quietly governed, free from the
predominant influence OF any single Power;
that the international engagement should
be observed, and those British commercial
and industrial interests which have been
so largely developed in Egypt shall
receive due protection from outrage-a
principle which Is essential for our interests
in all parts OF the world. Their policy has
been consistent. They have loyalty kept
the engagements with France, and have
been anxious that the other Powers be in
formed and consulted on all matters mate
rally affecting the position OF the country.
The action which their Admiral has been
compelled to resort to has not altered their
views.

Masonic Mysteries.

Several years ago Captain T., of Portsmouth,
was overhauled by pirates. Officers and men
were taken to the piratical craft to swing from
the yardarm. Captain It's description of the
scene, as the pirates adjusted the nooses about
himself and his men, is very thrilling. All
efforts to soften the hearts of the cutthroats or
gain brief respite were useless. The captors
acted on the theory that dead men tell no
tales they had no time to lose. Captain T..
was in despair, and above all the scenes of his
life which passed before him in that moment
of agony rose the picture of his wife and chill
dren awaiting his return in their Portsmouth
home. Prayers for mercy had availed him
nothing and he resigned himself to the doom
which was to launch him instantly into eterni-
ty. Suddenly an inspiration flashed to his
mind. He gave a certain Masonic sign. The
pirate chieftain sprang forward and tore the
moose from his neck In voice OF thunder
he ordered his men to release the captive crew.
Dumbfounded and bewildered they found
themselves the guests of the pirate crew, and
recipients of their hospitality, while the cap
tain and his officers were treated to the best
the corsair could offer. They were finally TAX
en- back to their own vessel, and Captain L.
used to repeat with hearty relish the words
OF the pirate boatswain, when he handed him
from the boat to his vessel: "Thank your God
you fell into such good hands!"
= Father McKinstry said that on the Hudson
his grandfather, Captain McKinstry, was tax
en- BY Indians in a battle, the name of which
forget. BY. order of their chief, the famous
Brandt, he was bound to stake, fagots we're
piled about him and fred. AS drowning
man will catch at straw, so did the doomed
captain give the Masonic sign. He said that
Brandt ieaped upon him like crazy man, and
scattering the burning fagots with his foot, he
cut the Cords and embraced him after the
fashion of a savage. Brandt, as well as the pi
rate, was Mason.
