FROM CELL TO GRAVE.
Edward Hovey, the Slayer of His Sister
in-Law, Makes the Fatal Journey
at New York.

New YORK, October 19.--Edward
HOvey, the slayer Of his sister-in law,
Mrs. Fanny Vermiiye, was hanged in
the TOmbs prison this morning. Not
withstanding the physicians treatment
and the efforts of his spiritual adviser,
the murderer spent a restless night.
Two deputy sheriffs kept constant vigil.
Hovey looked more dead than alive
when he arose to dress himself.
When his breakfast was brought him.
Hovey dragged his chair toward the ia
bic upon which the meal was placed and
seated himself in the chair with heavy
sigh. He hesitated, drew back from
the table and said he would eat nothing.
Father Duronquet, Rev. Mr.. Gilbert
and the deputy warden finally prevailed
on HOyey to sip the coffee. Soon after
arising he had been given a dose of
chloral and he now wanted whisky.
1t was agreed he should have some stim-
ulant before being led out to the gal
lows. Hovey had to be supported from
the cell to the gallows. He presented
an awful picture of despair and woe.
The moment he was placed under the
gallows his legs were tied, the black cap
drawn down, the moose adjusted, and
quicker than it takes to tell, the rope
was cut and Hovey was hanged

pelvis, and the limbs being pressed
close to the body, the legs we'll up under
the chin, were dried and incased in skins
and then placed in some cave or rock
shelter which was free from water or
moisture. Here they remained for
hundreds of years, and were reverenced
by the living. To them were offered
part of the results of their fishing and
hunting excursions, if they were suc-
cessful, for they judged success to be
due to the spirits of those whose bodies
were preserved. The mummies brought
down are in a wonderful state of pres
ervation, considering the rude means
employed. In the case of one that has
been opened, the skin appears to remain
intact, and the limbs are movable.

a Louisville Commercial reporter got
an interview with the city solicitor of
Toronto recently. The solicitor said:

friend Smith had a valuable horse that
once made mile in ten seconds on a
toboggsn. The animal lost it's sight.

to a toboggan hill in the night, and had
accidentally stepped on one Of the slip

was a slender, long-necked boy who was
the most skillful tobogganer in Western
Canada; but he met with a painful acci-
dent that winter that put a stop to his
favorite sport forever. AS he was going

IL Will Not Ont


[From the Raleigh News and Observer
Near the southwestern angle of the wall
of the National Cemetery has for years
stood a small cemetery, in which are
five graves in Pm inclosure. At corner
of this ipclosure stands chlna-berrY
tree. At the root of this tree a grave
covered with an arch of brick has been a
landmark, one might say, for nearly
half a century. The brick-work was
rough, but covered the grave completely.
No one had ever thought OF molesting
the grave, though thousands of people
have seen it, as it stands within ten feet of
the public road and III ten yards OF the line
of breastworks thrown up In 1854, while
fifty feet away is all that remains of a
two-gun battery thrown up at the same
time. But amid all the changing
scenes of war and peace the grave stood
untouched. There was even a doubt as
TO whose remains it covered. Ne inscrip-
ton was upon it, and while some said
that a man named Taylor, a member Of
the Legislature, was buried there sew
entv years ago. others said that woman
who was murdered forty-fVe years ago
was inferred therein. Old citizens tell
Of the murder. The woman'e home was
in the desolate and lonely looking house
that stands south of the graves. One
night pistol shot was heard, and per-
sons going to the house, found the
woman lying dead in pool of blood on
the floor. She had been shot by a rel
ative, who then fed, and it was thought
she was pursuing him as he ran through
the house after shooting her. The
crime was traced to the man: he was
tried, aud would have been hanged bad
not the plea of insanity been introduced.
After being here some years the man
wandered to the far South, it was said.
Since the murder the blood stain had
been a mute witness of the crime, and
there it Is to-day. It "will not out"
Sunday morning persons walking near
the old graveyard in question saw that
the brick cover Of the old grave had
been broken away, that the grave had
been entered, nearly all the earth taken
ont and then roughly replaced; that a
stick feet long had been cut from the
china. berry as probing rod, the dirt
on it showing that it had been repeated
ly forced its entire length into the grave.
There are thousand and one surmises
as to the reason for the desecration.
There are two suppositions about the
cause. One is that some person had
placed money in the grave. either soon
after it was made, during the war or at
the wars close, and had revisited the
scene and Gislnterred the treasure.
Another supposition is that some person
supposed that money was concealed
there, or had been so told by a cOpjuror.
perhaps. No one knows, and time alone
;an reveal the secret. The deed was
undoubtedly done in the darkness of
Saturday night. No signs, numerous as
they are, point to the person who thus
desecrated the grave.
Sunday over 500 people saw the grave,
and yesterday there was a stream of
visitors to the place. Much indigna-
tion was expressed at the outrage. 1t
was said that many times lights had been
seen lowering over the spot where the
lonely graves are. Some persons ex.
pressed belief that some one had
opened the grave and buried body in it.

THF negroes of Montcomerv n

IHE negroes OF Montgomery County,
Georgia, have way of their own in
dealing with their church officers. When
one of the flock violates any of the rules,
SUNNI ary punishment is meted out. A
few days ago one of the brethren got
drunk. When he got sober one of the
deacons took him down and put thirty.
nine stripes upon his bale back. The
errIng brother seemed to think il all
night and was willing TO receive the pun
shment.

POsfage.Stamp FOrgeries,

A correspondent writes to the Pail
Mall Gazette; AS an instance of the
audacity of postage stamp forgers of
English colonial postage stamps will you
courteously allow me to inform your
readers that Mr.. J. W Palmer, Of No.
2S1 Stand, Lodon. has now in his "For-
geries Collection above 10000 forged
stamps, chiefly of the English colonial
issues, among which are some of the
rarest stamps known, especially part of
the set of choice " "Britisb Guiana
stamps of the first issue, aud including
the very rare Ground stamps. a
genuine set of these "4 cent " oblong
stamps, colored blue, crimson, and vel
low, is valued at $40 the three stamps.
1t will interest many to learn that Baron
Rothschild recently bought in Paris one
choice and rare stamp. for which he paid
e2OO. Tbelate Iumor that this ceIebrat-
ed postage stamp connoisseur had sold
his unique collection for G3, 600 is a mis-
take only in name; the collection really
sold for this sum was that of Sir Daniel
Cooper. Mr.. Palmer has now one col
lection of above 1000 postage stamps,
valued at over $500, which he is dis
tributing amorg his albums, and. from
the extreme rarity of some of the specl-
mems, he will be pleased to show this
unique collection to any person interest
ed in postage stamp collecting, a visit
we'll worth any connoisseur's trouble.
