Sarver was executed here to-day for the
murder Of his father. The Catholic priest
remained in his cell from o'clock until

him to the scaiIold. At II o'clock the
prisoner ,was brought from his cell, Ut
tended by Deputy Neal and Coroner
Books, Sheriff Jalnison and Father Brown,

cession. Sarver walked with a firm step,
stood upon the fatal trap with uuconcern,
and while the Sheriff was pinioning his
hands and feet did not utter word or be-
tray the slightest emotion. The only
words he spoke on the scaffold were:
"lesus crucified, have mercy on my soul..n'
When the black cap and moose were fixed
he exhibited no nervousness whatever.
AT IL 80 the trap was sprung and death
was almost instantaneous, his neck being
broken by the fall. The body was lowered
seventeen minutes later. It was placed in
a neat coffin and placed in charge OF Father
Brown. About five or six hundred per
sons were present outside OF the jail, who
shortly after the execution were afforded
an opportunity to gaze upon the remains.
Only fifty people were present in the yard

wild and panicky again to-day, hut the
excitement did not reach the pitch shown
in the previous days trading. The bulls
succeeded in maintaining the prices very
close TO the top r,ngcs. A drop OF &c in
the price OF cash corn during the middle
OF the session caused the impression for
short time that lhc bottom had fallen out,
but prices rose quickly again to nearly
the highest figures yet known, while SEP.

with the latest figures yesterday. 4 October
and November were kept close to the
highest prices yet paid. n & !.

venture 10 assert that the present prices
will not be sustained 10 the close OF the

figures Of the Board Of Trade statisticinn
