James Burton, aged 33 years, was exc
cuted yesterday morning within the walls
of Durham jail for the murder of Eliza
beth Sharpe, at Tunstall, near Sunder-
land, on May Sth last. The condemned
man, who passed fairly good night, rose
at about O'Clock and was soon Joined by
the chaplain, who remained with him
until the end. The prisoner was very
pale, but was still calm, and walked with
a firm step. MarwOod at once set to work
adjusting the moose and putting the cul-
prit i'll position with his back to the
lever, allowing drop of about "
feet Burton, who had confessed
his crime on Sunday morning, was heard
by the distant spectators praying ferven-
tly, and he was giving response Just as
MarWOod took hold of the lever. One of
the wardens touched the executioner.
who waited for the moment. The words
Lord, receive the soul of this man about
to die!'' had issued from the chaplain's
lips and the culprts response had ceas-
ed, when at SOB the lever was raised and
the condemned man disappeared down the
cavity. He was too far of for the distant
spectators to see him, but the rope swung
violently the moment he was thrown off,
ana Marwoods hurrying round
to the north side of the cavi-
ty and STOPPING down in
the effort 10 get hold Of the rope showed
the distant spectators that something was
wrong. Warden Cox caught the rope
and jerked it over to MarwOOd, who, as
sisted by Cox and Warder Thompson,
drew the man up until he was placed in a
sitting position, although he appeared
to have only his elbows on the ledge as
seen by the Ofi-loOkers, who were much
below him. 1t was found that the slack
of the rope had caught as he fell under
the right elbow and stretched across his
face, thus relieving the pressure on the
neck, but giving the appearance to
the spectators of the moose having
slipped up and caught against his face.
He presented CHASTITY spectacle, but
part of the face gave an appear
ance of blood. There was no blood, how
ever, and in half minute Marwood had
adjusted the slack Of the rope to its
proper position, replaced the white cap,
which had been rutfled up, and holding
the culprit by the shoulders as the two
warders relinquished their hold of him, he
threw him with a strong push into the
cavity again. The force he used sent the
convict right across the cavity almost to
the opposite side, and as the rope return
ed he steadied it, and all was over. 1t is
stated that while the rope was being
adjusted the second time the culprit twice
muttered: "Oh, Lord, have mercy on my
poor sOul!' The body was cut down at

\. G. HaygOod, of Georgia, lectured this
evening on universal Education as De-

its industries, but not in proportion to the
increase of its illiterate population. 1t
left an increasing burden with shorten
ing lever. Help is necessary for a time to
meet the emergency, and the nation is
concerned that we should have intelli-
gent suffrage in every State. 1t should
help the South teach the negroes; for it
made them citizens before they were pre-
pared for suffrage. The speaker critl-
cized Senator LOgan's plan of distributing
aid on the basis of population, and COM
mended the points of the Woodstock
speech made by ex-President Hayes.

time ago as to England furnishing images
for HindOo idolatOrs is now reiterated
with increased emphasis. 1t is said that
these false gods are made in great quanti-
ties at Birmingham, and supplied as or
dinary merchandise. They are mostly
small affairs, intended for household use.
The large images for the temples, some of
which are of the size Of wooden Indians,
and some larger, are made by the natives
In costly temples these large images are
sometimes richly oTnamented. even If
rudely carved. 1t is by no means rare to
find their eyes made Of diamonds or other
precious stones. The names Of the BIr-
mingham manufacturers of small idols
have not been made public, although there
has been considerable inquiry for them on
the part of persons interested in mission
airy affairs.
