Dear Interior:
The scene shifts little, and we find
ourselves, IL miles beyond the London
chimney pots, in an English village Of the
most characteristic type; one long, straight,
high street, and the radiating legs Of the
Centipede, meandering lanes, running be-
tween hedge rows and high walls; and open
fields and exquisite parks aud orchards,
with beauteous yistas Of over-hanging oaks
and elms, every now and then; and pretty
bits of water crossed on foot bridge; and
grazing sheep and horses and cattle and
acres upon acres of strawberry plants, and
cabbages and bsets and potatoes; while
mile and half away, the main artery Of
this suburban life, runs the "North Kent
Loop Line Of the South Eastern Railway"
with frequent and convenient trains for the
city, with, termini at Charing Cross and
Canon street; as you may wish; both land
ing you ON the north side Of the Thames in
the heart Of. London. Kent ia the "gaiden
county" Of old England, being literally
London's market garden for vegetables and
fruits Its generous soil is cultivated care
fully and systematically, while the gently
rolling surface affords the finest landscape
effects imaginable. Magnificent ancestral
estates dot the county at intervals, giving
just the variety needed; the air is pure and
wholesome, and one cannot wonder that the
County is favorite with the English peo-
pie, when lis venerable historic records
crown the list Of attractions. Bexley, also
known as "Bexley Heath" and its main
street still retaining that title Ia quite sle.
waited and much esteemed for its charming
outlook and salubrious air. One Of the
post offices lthe village has l~o) called
Crooked Log" and a neighboring locality
denominaied Burnt Ash" bear such exces-
lively "backwoods" titles, that one may no
tice them in passing. The names would
answer for landmarks in the Australian
"bush" or the forests OF Dakota.

CONTRARY TO expectation Craft did
not weaken ne the fatal moment drew
near, but with his last lingering breath
protested his innocence, and this has
caused many people to believe his sto.
ry, for they can't see how a man can
lie when about TO 60 into the presence
Of his God. On the same hypothesis,
they should also believe Ellis, the one
Of the trio, who was hung by mob.
He. said as emphatically that Craft
and Neal compelled him to 60 with
them, and that after gaining admis.
sion to the house in which Fannie
Gibbons and her visitor, Emma Car
rico, we're. sleeping, they repeatedly
outraged the. helpless girls and when
Robt. Gibbons, a brother Of Fannie,
was awakened by their'iscreams, they
silenced him forever with lick on
the head with an axe. Then after
satiaiiug their hellish lusts and fear
ing that the girls would recognize
them as their debauchers, they dis
patched them with clubs and axes, and
afterwards sought to cover their crime
by saturating their bodies with coal
oil and burning them and the house.
All this was corroborated by the
strongest circumstantial evidence, and
two juries had pronounced Craft gull
ty. The man who is mean enough to
do what he was charged with would
not hesitate to lie about it even in the
presence Of his Master Himself.
Mundi, who hung himself here not a
month ago after butchering to death
his own wife, left note declaring
that he did not do 1t, although every |
thing pointed to him as the murderer,
the very act Of suicide itself being a
confession. At his request Graft was
baptized in Little Sandy River the
day before the execution, and he con.
tinued to pray and sing up to the last.
His speech to the crowd. that gather
ed to see him hung, was rather
touching delivery and his prayer on
The gallows was the most abject ap-
peal we have ever seen recorded; and
yet he died with a blistering lie upon
his lips. The case has been a most
terrible and costly one. A number of
persons lost their lives by the return
of the FIRE when the soldiers sent 10
guard Neal and Craft were attacked
at Ashland, and the costs have run
up to over one hundred thousand dol
lars.
