THE PENALTY PAID.
The Avenger Pays tho Dread Pen
atty. and neets His Fate
FiRmly- ---some Facts
About the Case.

LONDON. Dec. 1-At precisely 500 O'Clock
q. m. Patrick O'Donnell, the slayer of James
Carey, the Irish informer, paid the dread
penalty Of his crime, being hanged in the jail
yard of Newyats in the midst Of boisterous
and squally westher.
A large crowd began TO assemble opposite
the prison as early as O'Clock, and the hum
dreds Of laborers and other men who Were
passing by on their way 10 work stopped to
gaze at the hugs black flag that dropped
Imply from the tall staff. Among those as
sembled was q brother Of UDonnell. who ex-
cited the sympathy Of every one present by
his detected step and air Of unavailing
grief.
At 1:3o O'Donnell was notified that his last
hour had come, and, after the priest had ad-
ministered tho communion, Binns, the hang
man, entered his cell, and without word
proceeded to pinion the prisoner. ODonnell
smiled calmly during this trying operation,
and without further delay the grim pro-
cession Of wardenS hangman, priest and
prisoner moved on toward the scaffold.
O'Donnell walked with great frmness. and
declined the assistance of the wardens who
moved close around him
No time was lost. Binns set about his work
with the skill of an adept, and adjusted the
fatal moose with all the skill of his predeces-
sor, Marwood. The lever of the trap was
pulled as the neighboring church clocks were
toliing the hour of s, the drop fell, and the
man who within few brief months had
earned q worldwide notoriety by means Of
his daring act had paid for that notoriety
with his life
Immediately prior to the falling Of the drop
the crowd outside Of the Jail had become so
dense that the police were obliged several
times to forcibly clear theway. The number
of those present could not have fallen short
of twenty thousand. When at last the black
fag told of the enactment Of the dread tragedy
within the old jail-yard the faces of many
spectators bore a loek of suppressed excite
ment, while O'Donnell's brother broke into
fit of passionate weeping. The clouds began
to break as the hour of s approached, and
when at last the flag was run up its gloomy
folds were distinctly displayed against the
rising sun. The crowd dispersed almost inn
mediately,

PUBLTC SCHOOLS.

The public schools in this city
opened on Monday last. Whether the
attendance is as good as could be de-
sired is not learned. But, judging
from the number of boys seen on the
street engaged in no employment, be-
yond mere play, it is reasonable to con-
clude there must be remisSness of duty
on the part of parents and guardians.
The neglect to send children to school,
where there is no reasonable excuse,
is next to criminal. A boy growing
up to manhood without education in
this progressive age is destined to be

NEXT WEEKS EVENTS.

A SERIES OF COOP THINGS, EMBRAC.
ING A WEEKS TRIP WITHOUT A
PARALLEL IN SUMMER EXCURSIONS.
The interes; in the grand series of
excursions over the B. and o. to Bal
timore, Washington, Harper's Ferry,
Luray Caverns, Old Point Comfort,
Fortress Monroe, Mount Vernon, &C.,
increases as the time draws near.
| Certainly no such attractive a pro-
gramme has been offered by any great
railway line for years. There is al
most no end to the enjoyment pro-
vided. Of course Baltimore will be
the base of operations, all the special
trips named being from the Oriole
city. The B. and O.'s tickets will be
good to Baltimore, and sold at the
half rate, that is to say, one regular
fare for the round trip. Once in Bal
timore, the excursionist may enjoy
himself at will. If he concludes to go
on all the special excursions he does so
and pays accordingly. IF only part of
them, then he pays for those and no
more. If none of them, then he pays
for none. This certainly is the only
fair basis upon which such a series of
excursions could be arranged, and
must meet the endorsement of all in
terested. Washington is but forty
miles from Baltimore, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad running trains be-
tween the two cities in the lightning
time of fifty minutes. The fare for
the round trip will be only a dollar
and twenty cents. Baltimore is al
ready getting into her holiday attire:
stands are going up everywhere, and
as for illuminations and the general
lighting of the streets, nothing like it
was ever before attempted on the Con-
tinent. The idea of making the affair
a Summer Nights Carnival was cap,
ital one, as not only are effects gained
at night of most novel character,
but time is given during the day for
excursionists to visit points Of interest
within and about the city. The scene
i'll the harbor on the night of the ar
rival of Lord Baltimore will be some
thing to remember for years, while
the mystic pageant on the last night
Of the Carnival will be as a vision-a
bright and wonderful dream. The
Mystic Order of the Oriole will issue
programme on the opening day of
the festival, which for artistic beauty,
well written descriptive matter and
graphic portal of the pageant will be
wholly without precedent. 1t has been
Autographed in five colors, and is a
beauty from any standpoint it may be
considered. As it will be the only
publication containing the official pro-
gramme details of each day and views
of the tableau cars, it will be well for
excursionists to make it point to Sc
cure copy Immediately upon arriving
in the city. The B. & o. is making
the most extensive preparations for
the transporting and perfect satisfac.
ton of the many who will go by the
Picturesque Line of America.

LAWYERS AND EDITORS.

The question was discussed by the
press i'll Chicago some time ago, "why
a lawyer should be honored for doing
that which would dishonor an
editor?" If crime should be COM
mitted, the enormity and wiekedness
of which shocks the entire community
and the guilt of the preparation ap-
pear beyond question. the editor who
should for a fee OF without fee at.
tempt to palliate and smoothe it over
would meet with the condemnation of
decent people. But the lawyer who
for a fee undertakes the case of the
criminal. and labors to defeat the ends
of justice, is honored for his legal acu-
men in the defense of crime. If a
brutal murderer should say, 81 will
hire lawyer and pay him WE'LL it is
all right; but if he should declare, :"
will hire an editor to plead in my be-
half through the columns of his pa
per-" what woald be SAID of the editor
who should consent to such PROPOSE
ton? Are legal honor and newspaper
honor two distinct qualities, one
privileged and the other not? 1t is re-
piled long established custom makes
technical distinction. Every crimi-
nal, when liberty and life are at stake,
should have fair and impartial trial,
and the time will come when honor
able lawyers viii not interpose legal
bubbles to throw out evidence essen

TEMPERANCE.

A union temperance meeting of the
Baptist, Congregational and Methodist
churches was held in the Unitarian
church last Sunday evening, which
was addressed by Capt. Van Eten, of
Auburn, N. Y. The church was we'll
filled and the address was we'll calcu.
lated to make a good impression on a
class of persons in attendance. It so
happened a large number of boys from
ten to fifteen years Of age were pres
emit; his appeal to these young lads to
keep clear from the disgusting use of
tobacco was exactly in point. He
rightfully maintained that the habit of
using tobacco, if contracted in youth
was seldom or ever gotten rid of in af-
ter years. For this reason he refrained
from addressing young men addicted
to the use of tobacco. In this the
speaker was right; as general rule,
a young man who has formed the hab-
it of using tobacco finds it as difficult
to rid himself of it as was the culprit
doomed to wear the tabled shirt of
Nessus which tore his flesh whenever
he attempted to diyest himself of it.

APPLE CROP.

From all parts of the country
says the Utica, N. Y, Herald, "comes
the report Of the failure of the apple
crop this season" So general failure
is unprecedented, at least for many
years. with so large an area of coun-
try, running over so many degrees OF
latitude and longitude, it is remark
able the deficiency should be so extern
siye. In many sections of country ap-
pie orchards bear well only every
other year; but in Western New York,
which is one of the great apple-grow-
ing regions, this is the third year of
failure. The same may be said of
other states which have formerly been
relied upon to supply the country with
apples. This continued refusal Of ap-
pie trees to bear fruit exeites,suspicior
that there is something more than
ordinary wrong; that the seasons NAV
have changed and that there may be
elements in the atmosphere unfavor-
able to the growing of apples. 1t is
proposed to have committees make ex-
aminations in the few localities where
apples are abundant this year as to
the probable reasons of the good crop.

1872 Points to the Rod.

This justly celebrated fencing is the
lightest Barb Wire made. The dfa-
mond steel barb is so secured on the
wire as to allow it to vibrate, which
prevents any unnecessary lasceration
Of stock. The cable wires are from
steel, No. II, plated (not twisted) to-
gether, and will stand the greatest
tensil strain.
This wire is protected against rust
by a covering of Pure Boiled Iron Clad
Mineral Paint, which is practically
rust-proof.
The Kelly Steel Barb Wire is the
lightest, the strongest, and the best
protected against rust. The diamond
barb is so secured on the wire that 1t
cannot be removed, is so strong that it
will not be bent or broken, and will re-
tain its sharp point long after all
other styles of barbs are rusted blunt.

following parties and examine before

LYNCH-LAW INCREASING.

Important statistics in respect to
the annual number of lives taken by
"lynch-law," and the number of legal
hangings, show lynch-laW to be on the
increase. During the year 1882 there
were ifty-seven cases of lynching
this year up to the end of July there
were seventy-one cases of lynching j;
the legal hangings during the same
time were siXty-hye, showing more
hangings without law than with law.
During the year 1882 there were seven
hundred and twenty murders commit
ted, and only one hundred and one ex-
ecutions, being nearly seven murders
to every one execution.
Such statistics are not difficult of
explanation. The increase of lynch
violence comes from the distrust of
courts and juries to convict. The de-
| lays in the enforcement of law most
always decreases the probabilities OF
the execution of it's penalties. The
remedy for this condition of things
must be the reconstruction of courts
and juries. The growing practice OF
All excited people taking the punish
ment of alledged criminals into their
own hands is dangerous one. limo
cent persons, in the heat of passion,
are liable to suffer death. It is the
rule in civilized countries to give
every person accused of crime fair
hearing: without this there is great
lab ility to mob violence.
