BILE sight was witnessed to-day at the
hanging Of Robert Goodale, a market
gardener, for the murder of his wife at
Wiseach, Sept. - last. Fifteen stone
weight was used, and the drop was six
feet. When the trap was sprung the rope
rebounded violently and GoOdale's mead
was severed from his body. The specta-
tors were hOrror-stricken and became
sick at the scene. An inquest was held.
The hangman said that GOodale's head
looked as though IL had been cut with a
knife. He had thin vertabrm. A surgeon
said the bangman was sober and cool and
collected when be sprung the trap. Good
ale's death was almost instantaneous,
and was more merciiul than by strangu-
latiOn. The jury rendered a verdict in
accordance with the facts, attaching no
blame to the hangman.

A Collision on the st. Johns which
JeOpardIzed Many Lives.

JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 30.-A dangerous
collision occurred on the st. Johns river
late this afternoon off the foot OF Ocean
street between the steam ferry boat Me
chanlc and the steamer Queen Of the st.
Johns. The ferry boat was crossing the
river, when the Queen OF the st. Johns
came rapidly down the stream. Owing to
the damp, foggy weather, the smoke and
steam from each vessel floated low and
blinded the view Of the pilots until the
boats were so near each other that the
collision could not be avoided. The Queen
of the ST. Johns struck the ferry boat
near her bow, doing considerable damage
to the guards and forward waiting room.
The Queen of the st. Johns was only
slightly injured. The ferry boat had Il
considerable number OF passengers
aboard, and the narrow escape from the
loss of the boats and lives is remarkable.
TWO NEW BOATS PROMISED.
1t is said that the Lorillards Of New
ork are building two palatlal passenger
steamboats, for the st. Johns river which
will be similar TO thei famous Fall river
packets, City Of Bristol aud Providence.
