Murderers.

GALWAY, Jan. 15.-Patrick Higgins one of
the murderers of the Huddys, was hanged
this morning: There were few persons out

Higgins heard mass at 7. After Marwood,
the executioner, had pinioned the prisoner
the latter walked firmly to the scaffold,
which was the same as that used at the exc
cution of the Maamtrasna murderers. Hig-
gins was in his shirt sleeves and bareheaded
he nodded to little group which stood out
side the door of his cell. He started some
what when he first caught sight of the gal
lows, but did not falter in his step. He as
cended the scaffold, repeating responses to the
service for the dying and continued to do so
after his legs had been strapped and the cap
adjusted. He was still speaking when Nor
wood drew the bolt, and Higgins disappeared
through the drop. The strain on the rope
was very great, Higgins heing heavy. He

editor of the United Ireland, for mandamus
to compel a magistrate to receive evidence
to show that the seditious libel with

held that it would be a monstro1s thing for
court to compel a magistrate to accept evil

made with the intention of bringing the ad-

ported, but it is believed over $50 persons
perished. The fire broke out toward the end
of the performance and was caused by care
less handling of fireworks on the stage The
curtain became ignited, and the
flames quickly spread to the walls
and roof The members of the orchestra
were all among the victims. The audience,
numbering 800 persons, rushed to the front
door, but it opened inward and as the crowd
pressed forward it could not be opened. A
rush was then made toward the side doors,
both of which were nailed up, thus COM
pelling the people to take to the windows,
from which many sprang into the
street with their clothes q sheet of flame.
The fire bri gade arrived within half an hour,
but it was impossible to extinguish the
flames, as the water in the tanks was frozen.
The fire lasted two hours. Eye witnesses
state that when the doors were finally opened
mass OF burning persons was visible within.
The horses and properties of the circus were
all destroyed.

crossing the river, thus preventing their

mated that 80 men, 120 women and 60 chill

the colonel of police and the vice-presideDt
of Berdicheff. The audience consisted mainly
of Jews.
Another account says the fire was caused
by groom having thrown lighted cigarette

fire. Another groom tried to stamp out the

Prince Krapotkine Addresses the Court In
His Own Behalf


LYONS Jan. 15-At the trial of the anarch.
lists to-day Prince Krapotlline, addressing the
court in his own defense, sought to show
that the so-called International did not exist.
Anarchical ideas he declared, were spreading,
despite all efforts to suppress them. If he
were condemned the result would be to at
tract proselytes to the cause. He had been
arrested, he averred, because for
egner, and because it was thought
desirable to gibbet the efflgy of
an International. The eyes of all the work
men of France and abroad were fixed upon
this trial, but when the International did
not exist they would recognize that it is
merely prosecution of one class by an
other. Prince Krapotkne concluded by pre-
dieting that dozen years would not elapse
without the occurrence OF a social revolu-
ton. He conjured society to avert it by
study of the social question, instead OF per-
scouting anarchists.

This market was active and firm and &c

There was strong and buoyant feeling
in corn and wheat, and prices were on the
up grade. Corn took the initiative Ru-
mors circulate that Truman Handy, backed
by a powerful clique of New York, are

part of the shorts to buy in, and a good
many tailers caught on in the sharp COM
petition resulting in the improvement.
Later in the day orders came in freely, but
it was noticeable that they were largely
from the East, which strengthened
the belief that we were to have a
manipulated deal in January. With the
corner rule out of the way and the arrivals
of contract corn, or that which will in
spect No. 2, exceedingly meager, the stu
alton is considered very favorable for
deal of that character. Now that the holi-
day apathy is broken and good deal of
money is being disbursed IN the way of
dividends on stocks and interest on bonds,
speculation is reviving and the belief in
the January boom is again general. Wheat
was Influenced good deal by corn, but
showed merit of its own. The speculation
became active early in the day, and as the
market started up the shorts began to
cover and spectators took hold. It was
noticed that large proportion of the bny-
ing orders were from New York,which had
tendency to strengthen the bull feeling.
