Subjects Freedom.

LONDON, November s. - Bartholomew
Binns, the present English "Calcraft" and
Marwoods successor as public hangman,
to-day gave his initial performance in his
new profession. Harvey Powell, the Bal
ham murderer, was the subject" and the
execution took place at Wandsworth Jail.
Binns has been practising his craft in New
gate for some time on dummies, and it is
said that he has exhibited great dexterity
in handling the ropes, ali his operations
being
Performed With Confidence and Skill.
While possessed Of no experience as a
hangman, he is reported to have many
qualifications for the office, the most marx
ed being his personal coolueSS. In today >
Job there was no bungling. Powell was
swung Off cleverly and quickly, and the
new executioner expressed himself as salts
fed with his work.
The public sale OF Marwood's effects WAS
concluded to dav. Hundreds OF relic hun
tiers from all parts OF England attended,
and at times the bidding was very spirited.
The Scene Was n Curious One.
While the rough element was represented
in the crowd Of buyers, there was also a
sprinkling of respectfully dressed individ-
uals, who watched the proceedings with
great interest and took part in the bidding,
after taking considerable trouble to make
sure that the aucti0ueeE caught their bids.
There was some disappointment expressed
that among the articles for safe there were

for Democratic majority reduced from

There is no doubt that large part of the
