eight or ten persons on the
platform. He wore q smile on his
face, and was very polite in his man
ner. There was not trace of anxiety
on his face nor a tremor in his frame.
1t he had been going into ball room
with lady on his arm he could not
have assumed a more pleasant ex-
preston. Stopping in front of the
trap he called out Good bye"
to some persons below, and called one
or two by name. BE simply said that
he had nothing to say. Stepping on
the trap ne was firmly piniened, the
rope Was adjusted, the cap pulled over
his face, and as he began TO repeat
prayer very audibly, the lever was
pulled and he shot out of
the sight of those on the
platform. The work was done per-
fectly. There was no scene, no special
parting words, no tears, except by the
woman named and the old colored
Baptist minister named heretofore.
The full penalty of the law had been
executed. The murderer gave up his
own life, and he was nothing more to
the world or the world to him.
The man was as good as dead nine
minutes after the drop fell, as his
pulse then ceased, according to the
statement of DR.. Williford, the Jail
physician, and the same official re-
peated that the heart ceased to beat in
l43 minutes. The physician placed
his ear to the breast of the body and
said he could hear the heart beat dis
tinctly up to the last moment when
its hutterings ceased. He was
allowed to remain hanging twenty
minutes in all, or four and half min
utes after the heart stilled. The body
was then taken by officials present,
placed in neat rosewood coffin sup
piled by John Walsh. At 4 O'Clock
this afternoon the remains are to be
conveyed to t.Mary's Catholic church
where the last religious ceremonies
over the dead will be held
after which it will be conveyed to
CalvsryCemetery for internent. Will
son met his fate with surprising forti-
tude, not showing single tremor dur
ing the last moments of his life. He
said during the morning he did not
give his death throes thought, and
cared nothing for it, and he acted as
good as his word to the last. 1t was
believed by those who knew him that
he would show some signs of
weakness during the final cere-
mOny, but his nerves we're
calm and unrufled to the moment of
his being launched into eternity. 1t
was terribly exciting sight to those
few who witnessed it, and not a single
spectator present was az calm and col
lected as TIE culprit. The treacherous
eye OF the condemned man, the only
thing about him that indicated his
true character, was closed in the
doom of death without having quailed
in the slightest degree.

as much more as may be needed.
An official notification from the Cot

upon Manager Howard this forenoon
to the effect that they held contract

Steamboat Excavations.


The steamboat excursions given
thus far have afforded much pleasure
and satisfaction. A ride on the river
at this season of the year is delightful
and invigorating. Business men, ladies
and children, who can't get out from
Office or home very much, find them
selves not only refreshed but greatly
benefited by going on these excursions.
The steamer Eckert is large, commo
di0us safe, and we'll adapted to such a
use. Phe management is excellent,
no improper persons are permitted to
go aboard aud the crowds are com
posed of orderly, we'll dressed, sub
stantisl people. A fine band furnishes
music for those who feel like dancing,
or who do not. There will be two ex
cursions next Sunday, one starting out
at 2:3O pm. This boat will land op,
posite Horn Lake, and give passengers
an opportunity to see that beautiful
spot of water. The other excursion
will 20 up the river, leaving at 8 pm.
The managers take great pains to make
it pleasant fpr everybody, and all who
have gone thus fag have expressed
themselves as greatly delighted.
