A DOUBLE HANGING.


Malone were hanged at S:12 o'clock this
morning. Both men were pronounced
dead at 500. Parquale Malone awoke at
5 o'clock this morning, and dressed with
care.s McGloin had to be awakened half an
hour later. Both said they felt we'll. Last
night they had expressed an intention of
setting up all night, but shortly after mid
night retired. They seemed anxious to de-
vote every minute of their few remaining
hours to religious conversation and exer-
cises with their spiritual adviser. After
they had arisen Fathers Dunanguel
and Auxcletus went to their cells
and joined them in prayer. The
men then went to the chapel in the prison
to attend mass. To do so they had to pass
under the gallows. McGloin bore the
sight with tirmness, but Malone burst
forth in tears, and buried his face in his
handkerchief. A number of boys and
women prisoners gathered in the chapel
when mass was celebrated. Both attended
the devotion with the greatest apparent
piety, and partook of the holy sacrament.
On their return from the chapel to their
cells they had again to pass beneath the
gallows but neither seemed to notice it.
They spoke few words of greeting to
two acquaintances and some of the keep
ers on the way back to the cells, and their
demeanor was calm and collected. Shortly
after this they partook of breakfast with
apparent relish; and McGloin conversed
pleasantly with his counsel. He
thanked him for his services and then
bade him a last farewell, The religious
ministrations of the clergymen were then
resumed and continued up to the time
when the sheriff and under sheriff an
nounced that the hour had come for the
reading of the condemned mems death
warrant. Both men bore the terrible ordeal
without finching, and then the executioner
appeared and fixed the fatal nOoses about
their necks and the black caps on their
heads. The religious exhortations were
continued by the priests and Joined in by
both the condemned. Both men were firm
when they marched to the gallows, ON
reaching which they fell on their knees
and prayed aloud with the priests. The
drop fell at S:12, three minutes after the
prisoners entered the yard. Death was in
stantaneous.
TAKING IT COOL AT HIS HANGING.
CLAYTON, Ala, March Bob. Cochran,
colored, convicted in February for the
murder of N. L. Drew near this place, was
hanged to-day. The gallows was erected
a half mile from the court house and
enclosed. Several hundred persons were
present, but the hanging was witnessed only
by the officials and representatives of the
press. Having eaten heartily and taken
drink of whisky, he lit a cigar and, sur
rounded by a guard, took his seat on his
coffin, and was driven to the gallows. He
confessed his guilt in a firm voice, and
besought the negroes to regard the whites
as their best friends, etc. The trap was
sprung at 1:20 p. M, and he was dead III
fifteen minutes. The body was turned over
to purchaser.
MURDEROUs ASSAULT BY A SERVANT GIRL.
PHILADELPHIA, March 9.-A German
servant girl, Catharine Metzgar, in the
employ of Samuel May, attempted to mur-
der Mrs. May and the latter's child this
morning. She assaulted the former with a
hatchet and fractured the skull of the
child with beetle. 1t is believed Mrs.
May will recover, but the child will die.
The girl came from Germany three months
ago, and gives no other reason for the
murderous assault than that she was di-
rected by some unseen power in a dream
to commit the deed. No doubt she is
insane.
An Investigation shows that the mortal
wounds inflicted upon the baby were ac-
cidental. 1t seems the servant first seized
Mrs. May, while asleep, by the hair and
beat her about the head with the blunt end
of the hatchet. A desperate struggle en-
sued and Mrs. May wrenched the hatchet
| from Catharine's hand. The girl then
seized a bottle of bay rum, which stood on
the bureau, and flung it at Mrs. May.
| The missile missed its mark and struck the
| infant who was asleep in crib and broke
its skull. The struggle between the women
was then renewed and ended by Mrs. May
throwing the servant out of the room and
| locking the door. Her cries brought the
police. The girl went to the bath room,
washed the blood from the hatchet and lay
down in bed, where the police found her.
Mrs. May is young woman and has been
married about two years.
