winch braOT was executed lhts morning. a
strong force Of cavalry, infantry and police
was present TO preserve order. There was
no attempt at disturbance, however. TIE
morning opened beautifully, but there were
showers at about the lime the execution took
place Brady rose at O'Clock, and at 6:35
o'clock Canon Kennedy, of St. James church,
and Father O'Reilly administered the sacra-
ment to the condemned man. The three re-
manned praying until the arrival OF the
hangman. Brady submitted quietly while
his arms were being pinioned, and walked
slowly and unfinchipgly to the scafiold. The
black flag indicating that the execution had
taken place was hoisted over the prison st
sos o'clock. Almost Immediately after the
flag WAS raised hearse and coach with
mourners were seen at distance, coming in
the direction of the prison. The police,
however, interfered and prevented the yehi-
cles from approaching. There had been
reports circulating that after the hanging of
Brady his friends would endeavor to excite
the people TO demonstration by parsding
the empty hearse through the city. Brady
was visited by his mother last evening. She
was heard to exclaim, "Mind, Joe, no state
meut.n Brady smiled and replied, "Don't
be foolish. Do you think am fool" 1t was
ststed that the mother threatened to disown
her son il he gave the government any iufor-
nation. A wreath of Aowere was received
by Brady, to which was attached card
bearing expressions Of grief at his late IRON
Irishmen living in Liverpool. Brady made
no statement to the Jail chaplain or to the
governor OF the prison. One OF the last
To a laftaF IN his
mother. He carried prayer book in his
hand to the scsffold, and was thoroughly re-
signed and firm. His body fell nine feet,
and his death was instantaneous. Brady
was dressed In the same clothes he wore dur
ing his trial. The number OF persons IN the
crowd outside of the Jail was estimated ~
have reached 10000. The throng is said TO
be even greater than any OF those which
collected when the executions were public.
At the moment the black flag was seen over
the Jail CRY was raised of Shafts off" and
every head was uncovered. The crowd
shortly afterward dispersed quietly. The
verdict of the coroner's juryiwas that Brady g
death was caused by rupture OF spina!
cord. A jurynan stated that the features Of
the dead man were slightly swollen, his eyes
protruded, and his tongue was half cat in
two between his teeth.
SENSATION.
Nearly all the tradesmen in Dublin have
received a circular which is termed San
Analysis of the Special Juries on Eighteen
Trials under the Grimes Act" Enclosed
with the circular is a slip containing the
words, "Woe to you if you have any Of the
goods of the iuries, for you and likewise
they will have the blood and suffering Of
innocent people on your heads" The slip is
signed ''By Hook or by Crook" A sensation
| has been caused by this latest movement on
the part OF the friends OF the Irish prisoners.
AMERICAN sENrINENT IN REGARD TO IRE
LAND.
LONDON, May 1.-THE Times says the
| speech of Gen. Grant at the recent annual
banquet of the New York Chamber OF Com
merce is a fair sample of the opinion OF the
American people which a. present aroused
| by the doings OF The dynamite party. 1t is
possible, if O'DonovaA Rosa keeps tempo
| rarily quiet, the Americans will again Lose
sight of the true facts of the Irish question
| Ia all candor and kindliness we ask the
American people to nd their minds o.
| preiudices and recognize that denuncfatlonf
by frishmen Of England are not now justified
but refer to bygone history. We do not ask
| the United States to put down organized
ruffianism, which pretends 10 inpunity AND
| encouragement under their flag. Ii they do
not bestir themselves for their own character
and comfort they are little likely 10 do SO to
obligs Esglsnd, but they should recognize
facts. The whole of England is convinced
| that the government has dealt generously
with Ireland, but it must resist the demands
of secessionists. Americans do net IN then
| hearts believe all Englishmen are hypocritel
! and tyrants. and should consider the effect o.
reckless language and cease saying what they
do not think.
