~Japanese
London Globe


The punishment Of the rebels who
recently attacked the Foreign Lega-
ton at Scou has been q subject of the
most intense excitement throughout
Japan. A French paper has secured
the most authentic account Of the GER
emOny-for it fully deserves such a
name. The scene was the Bokwakan,
or Government House. in the interior
OF which the Commander in Chief of
the Oorean army seated himself about
. o'clock in the morning. In the
background were Corean foot soldiers,
and on each side a detachment Of
japanese regular soldiers. In the
house itself the Commandant was sur
rounded by officers of the Corean
army, armed with bows and arrows.
AS the time for the great event drew
near, the bands. composed of drums of
all sizes, trumpets and gongs began to
send up a tremendous and ~discOrdant
sound. Then two salvos of musketry
were fired BY the troops. Two stand.
ard bearers appeared in the open space
and after waving their yellow banners
with the national arms upon them
retired, leaving the ground clear.
Next came the chief executioner, with
his assistants, and at last the two
culprits arrived, pinioned and sitting
in open sedan chairs. The ~jsilers
dragged them by tho hair before the
UOmmandant, and after they had inef
feCtually pleaded for mercy. they were
touched on the head with the fatal
arrow. Their faces we're sprinkled
with water, and the ground spread
with a white powder, and then finally
the signal Of attack was given. The
eXecutioners rushed upon their vic.
tins with drawn swords, of which.
however, the edges had been carefully
blunted for the occasion. Only at thu
thirteenth stroke were the two heads
severed from the bodies, and, after
being shown to the c~ommandant, cast
into the ditch destined for a burial
place.

SLvERAL HUNDRED "sHORT.r
Why Wedding was indefinitely
Postponed in MOrrilIOn.
Cor. Little Rock gazette,


MoRRILToN, ARK, January 49,
About three weeks ago cards we're
sent out announcing the a~pproaching
marriage of Miss Bertha jacobson
and Mr.. 4. n Roth, both Of the con-
tracing parties being highly respected
by all who know them. But to-day
cards are out pOstponing the marriage
indefinitely. AS may be supposed.
such an announcement caused consid-
cradle excitement in the circle Of
friends Of both parties.
The facts in this somewhat to be de-
plored affair are as follows: About
one year ago DIR. L. N. Roth came to
Morrilton in search Of employment,
aud was employed by Mr.. j. jacobson,
a prominent merchant here, in the ca
picity of bookkeeper. He gave en-
tire satisfaction, and soon gained the
confidence Of Mr.. Jacobson, and the
love Of Miss Bertha Jacobson, daugh>
ter Of his employer.
To make a long story short, they
we're to be married on the 23d Of Jan
uary. About ten days ago Mr.. Roth
was suddenly called to Hot Springs by
a telegram signed, SO it is said, by a
female, aud telling him to come i'm
mediately. or his cake would all be
dough. He went. He went at once.
Next day Bertha. his Morrilton 6ance,
went after him with a spirit Of revenge
in her heart and a revolver in her
pocket. She declared she would kill
him on sight. but be had left Hot
Springs for fresher fields. She has
returned to Morrilton, a sadder if not
& wiser woman.
Mr.. Roth's accounts are now found
to be several hundred dollars short,
aud an expert has been engaged and
is now at work running over the books
to find out the real condition of af,
fairs.
