CRAwFoRDvILLE, Ind, Oct. l6 -
John W Coffee WAS han ged here to-day
The drop fell at ~ 32 O'Clock. He was
executed for the murder Of an old man
AIMED McMullen and his wife in jam.
ary last, the house being burned after
ward to hide the crime. During his
imprisonment he made three confes
sions duplicating, at various times,
several other parties. James Dennis
was also sentenced to death for his
connection with the crime, but he was
given new trial by theSupreme Court,
and will now, doubtless, be released,
although last nicht he was removed
TO another county rs precaution
against possible trouble.
Coffee was utterly prostrated since
last night and refused food The efforts
of bis spiritual adviser this morning
failed to bring him any consolation,
and he had to be carried to the scaffold.
Before the drop fell he made a short
speech. The rope broke twice, but was
nnally adjusted satisfactorily and after
hanging twelve minutes life was pro.
nounced extinct.

A special dispatch from Montreal,
Canada, says: "This morning. as the
the wife Of jean Baptiste Romily, a
farmer in St. Vincent de Paul, q village
about ten miles from Montreal, was
feeding her fowls, while her child, aged
about 2 years, was playing around,
suddenly large bald headed eagle
swooped down and bore the little one of
in its talops. The child screamed and
extended It's arms to its mother, who
was beside herself with mental agony,
but was powerless to render any assis-
tance. The screams OF the child, how.
ever, attracted the neighbors, who with
shotguDs pursued the eagle, The bird
was seen to alight with its prey upon
the roof barn a mile distant. Lifting
up its head, with one powerful stroke
1t drove it's beak into the child's head,
and then begun its borrid feast. Al
the near approach of the neighbors, who
were firing guns to frighten it, the esg.
le took flight, leaving the child behind
When the body was recovered life was
extinct. The skull was split in two
and part had been devoured."

SHERIFFs must be prompt in serving
papers put in their hands for that purpose
if they wish to escape liability for dam
ages for neglect. In an opinion given by
Justice Berry, of the supreme court, re
Gently, he affirmed the ACTION of the dis
trict court Of Chisago county against
their sheriff. c. P. Sloggy, for neglecting
to levy on property against which an exc
cution had been issued and placed in his
hands, on account Of which neglect credi-
tors lost their debt The Chisago court
held the sheriff responsible not only for
the amount lost by the creditors by his
failure to do his duty, but fined him o
sum under $500 for his dlsobedience to
the county, from which the process
issued, and committed him to the county
Jail for failure to comply with its decision,
and to pay up within ten days.
The court. among other things, says ::
'"The courts must have control of their
officers and power to compel the prompt
and faithful execution of their processes.
TO permit an officer to whom judicial
process is issued to set himself up as an
independent authority, as such officers
are sometimes inclined to do, and execute
or not at his pleasure and leisure, or
those Of the Judgment debtor, with i'm
punity, would make the administration
of justice practical mockery, and these
and kindred considerations have been
acted upon not only in our legislation but

THE High License Bill for the state has
been introduced in the Senate by Senator
Houlton. Succinctly stated, the bill is
for the amendment of the statutes relat-
ing to the issuance of licenses for the sale
of malt, yinous and spirituous liquors,
and fixing the minimum amount to be
charged for such licenses in any county,
village or city in the state at $500. As
the law now is, county commissioners,
trustees or aldermen regulate the mini
mum, and it ranges from $25 to $500.
The bill is the one prepared by Senator
Houlton at the instance of the committee
of fifteen appointed at the recent mass
meeting in Market hall, St. Paul. The
Pioneer Press says: without assuming
to know, Senator Houlton hopes that the
bill will pass and become a law. At his
request it was referred to special COM
mittee of Senators Houlton, Craig, Glenn
ents and Vollmer. Representative Tur-
rcll introduced the same bill in the house,
where it was referred to the temperance
One of the fifteen, inter-
viewed on the subject. said he believed
the bill would pass the senate but meet
