The execution was conducted quietly and was witnessed by two hundred persons The doomed man retired early last evening and slept all night At five o'clock this morning he arose and after making 8 careful toilet partook ofa hearty breakfast He was visited later by two Sisters of Mercy and his spiritual adviser, Father Ward None of his relatives put in an appearance. At Il o'clock he left his cell for the scafold, at tended by Father Ward and the sheriff. He walked erect and ascended the scaffold with firm step. When asked if he had anything to say, he replied, ''No!" The cap was then placed over his head and his hands were tied. At 11:O5 o'clock the drop was sprung and in the fall his neck was broken. In eight min utes he was pronounced dead.
 The crime for which he suffered the high est penalty of the law was uxorcide.

His father had fled, but was arrested on the same night. When the trial came up it was clearly shown that he had committed the deed, and he was accordingly convicted.

A Further Plan for Cheap Postage.

Further Plan for Cheap Postage
 WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-Among the various suggestions which the Postmaster General has in connection with his annval report is the subject of increasing the limit Of weight on letter postage. MT. Davis, acting third assistant, thinks that if any letter weighing less than an ounce is carried for one rate of postage, the reduction in revenues in conse- quence will be balanced by the increased use of the mails He said to day that there are many cases in which it is hardship to exact double postage on letter which in one post office may turn the scale at half an ounce and in another office may not balance. Again, there are times when & letter upon which one rate only is necessary when mailed absorbs moisture on the route, and upon arriving at it's destination an additional rate Is exacted. As the bulk of all letters weigh less than half an ounce it is believed that the increased limit would not materially affect the revenues.
