Execution of Edward Hovey - An Awful
Picture of Despair and Woe.
New York, Oct. 20.-Edward Hovey, the
slayer of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Fanny Yer
millye, was hanged in the Tombs prison this
morning. Notwithstanding the physicians
treatment and the efforts of his spiritual ad-
wiser, the murderer spent a restless night.
Two deputy sheriffs kept constant vigil.
Hovey looked more dead than alive when he
arose to dress himself. When his breakfast
was brought him he dragged his chair to-
ward the table. After seating himself, he
drew back from the table and said he would
eat nothing. Father Duranquet, Rev. Mr.
Gilbert and the deputy warden finally pre-
vailed upon Hovey to sip his coffae. Soon
after arising he had been given a dose of
chloral, aid he now wanted whisky. 1t was
agreed he should have some stmulant before
being led ont to the galows Hovey had to
be supported from his cell to the galows
He presented an awful picture of despair and
Woe The moment he was placed under the
gallows his legs were tied, the black cap was
drawn down, the moose adjusted, and quicker
than it takes to tell it, the rope was cut and
Hovey was hanged.

DIR. HOLINESS REPLY TO BUTLER.
Keen Thrusts in Defense of the Harvard Med
icai School.

BOSTON, Oct. 19.-The hundredth anniver-
sary of the foundation of the Harvard Medi-
cal School took place yesterday afternoon.
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes delivered an adj
dress. In the course OF it, in illustrating the
microscopic facilities of the school, said: "a
man five feet high. enlarged to correspond
with the microscopic power used, would be
mile high, would weigh 100, 000, 000, 900 pounds,
and could pick up the State-house and chuck
it into the sea cleaning out that ancient
structure by summary process Shouts of
laughterl which would put to shame the ex-
ploits of Commudus and his kind" Next
the dissecting room was considered, and in
reply to Governor Buffers recent attacks, DIR.
Holmes said: sit is easy always to excite the
odium of the ignorant against dissection, but
in view of the great value mankind, the IN
telligent should always defend it against ap-
peals to ignorance and passion, especially
against inflammatory appeals as lead to we'll
grounded apprehension of MONDAY and mid
night incendiaries. In the face of all pecca-
diloes and idle ISLANDERS, the record Of the
school is most honorable. Let us remember,
amid the false and foolish stories to which
We are compelled to listen, that for every
1ifeless body dssected at the Harvard Medi-
cal School, hundreds. if not thousands have
been saved from extreme anguish, and
many from premature death, as
result of that dissection. Human remains
preserved in every way calculated to illus
trate scientific discoveries are in the museum
of the school. Some tanned skins were there.
but have not seen them lately. Perhaps
the cases may have been left open when I'M
scrupulous STRANGERS were strolling through
the building. [Great Laughter 1t may
even happen that some poor man whose leg
was amputated may have given leave that
the skin taken from it should be tanned in
consideration of the proapse of wallet or
perhaps slipper for his remaining foot. At
all events the museum is one of great value
to science, and is attraction TO all scien-
tic visitors. Let us take heed that the pas
sion of the ignorant, once aroused, it may
share the fate that once befell the incom-
parable libraries OF Alexandria

Straight TO Glory.

GALVESTON, Oct. 19-The News's Columbus
special says: At 2:58 this afternoon James
Stanley, colored, was hanged for the murder
of Robert Strickland, white, aged sixteen, in
November, 1882 Yielding to the persua-
sions of Rev. McKenna colored, Stanley,
left full written confession. The MUIR
derer was escorted to the gallows by guard
of thirty men, followed by a crowd OF 400
people. The gallows was erected one mile
from town, in clump of large live oaks
The condemned man assembled the steps
with a firm tread, and facing the multitude
said:
II have found my way to glory; have re-
pented my SINS and God will send angels
from heaven to meet me. | am going
straight home to glory. Whisky, cards
and women have brought me to this. l am
going to heaven. Won't you meet me
there?'
At this point there were shouts from the
oolored crowd, "Bless God, we will" Stan
ley continued: My spirit will be hving
around in glory, and you sinners that drink
and play cards and attend balls had better
repent and pray, or God will down your
souls. l forgive my enemies. God waits for
me- Wave your lightsl 1 shall have golden
slippers and golden ring"
After couple of hymns by the minister,
and as the cap was being adjusted, Stanley
said: Let me see Sarah Walker" The
woman was brought to the foot OF the scat
fold, and Stanley exclaimed, oh Sarah; see
what you have brought me to. You dill not
tell me to commit this crime, but ! did !
