Albany has been irgeniously re-
lieved of what has long been a trouble
some nuisance to her in the shape OF
stagnant pond OF water, which covered
from one TO two acres. The News and
Advertiser says that it was all cleared
off and the bottom made perfectly dry
by Capt. ]. 6. Stephens, the faithful
and efficient chairman OF the street
committee OF the present City Council,
who had a derrick and windlass erected
near the edge of the pond, and put a
force of hands to drilling n hole into
the ground on the same principle that
artesian wells are bored. His object
was to find n subterranean stream or
passage into which the pond could be
drained. Such a passage WAS found
at a depth of 33 feet. and then a
square well was dug down TO 1t and
curbed all the way. Everything being
ready. ditch WAS dug and the water
from the pond was turned Into the
well. 1t ran in through Il 12Inch
terra Gotta pipe at the rate OF about
500 gallons per minute, and dlsap-
peared as fast as reached the bottom
OF the we'll.

France-Zanzibar, Etc.


NEW DIRK September 3.-The Spanish
columns of the Panama Star and Herald,
of August 20. contains a report of the
proceedings OF court martial that met
on the 18th inst, to try Pedro Prestan,
who has since been executed. Four
witnesses were brought before the court
and declared that Prestan was the prin-
cipal author of the destruction of Colon,
on the 31st OF March, last. These were
Juan Beltramo, ian Italian), Clement
Dupuy, acting superintendent of the
Panama Railroad, Hugh Dieterich Ger
MANI, and William Cennor, agent of
the Pacific Central Steamship Company,
in Colon. These four gentlemen, after
having given their evidence against
Pres tan, were confronted with him.
Their different declarations show that
Prestan was the author of the fire in
Colon, and although he strongly denied
all the charges made against him, actu-
ally naming the persons who could
testify as to his innocence, he neverthe-
less did not lay the blame on any other
person, nor did he say his followers had
not committed the crime. The char
man of the court martial ordered wit
nesses named by Prestan to be brought
into court. so that they should make
their statement. After the lapse of an
hour the court was informed that all
the persons named by Prestan were not
to be found on the Isthmus, as they had
left after burning Colon. In view of
this and as all the witnesses agreed on
one point, that Prestan was the author
of the fire. The court after having
heard the prisoners defense, ordered the
room cleared, and then deliberated as
to the sentence they should pronounce
All votes but one were for hanging
Prestan at once. The death warrant
was signed, the prisoner called in, and
he was informed of his sentence. He
heard the sentence read with great COM
posure. Up to his last moment he had
a priest by his side. When upon the
scaffold, Prestan spoke few words,
calling upon Colombians to believe him
innocent of such an atrocieus crime
Notwithstanding all his repeated pro-
tests of Innocence, there was but one
voice OF unanimous approval, when
the car was removed from under his
feet and the body was left to
swing on the scaffold. Prestan was
hanged soon after midday on the 18th
ult. The sentence was signed at 7.30 p.
m. on the evening of the 18th ult., and
was unanimously approved. The exc
cution was witnessed by an immense
crowd of all colors and nationalities.
