Chappelle took Mr. McGrath out there to-
day, and they looked over the location
carefully. The st. Louisan says the ground

magnificent view of all Washington. There
will be meeting of the board shortly to
decide on the next steps to be taken, and
until that is held nothing can be considered
or determined as regards the buildings.

Sentence Passed on Cluverius.

RICHMOND, Va, June 19.-The hust-
ings court room this morning was packed
with the largest crowd seen there during
the four weeks of the trial of T. J. Clu-
verius, for the murder of Fannie Lillian
Madison, while hundreds of people filled
the corridors and the street in the imme-
diate vicinity. The cause of the gathering
was the expectation that the death sentence
would be pronounced on Cluverius and it
had been intimated that he would make
some statement The prisoner was brought
into court and occupied seat behind the
bar with his counsel. He appeared
calm and self-possessed. Clerk Lawton
told the prisoner to stand up, and pro-
pounded the usual question as to whether
he had anything to say as to why death SEN
should not be pronounced against him.
The prisoner, in rather low and husky
voice, addressing the court, said: IT will
say, sir, that you are pronouncing on an
innocent man. That is all l have to say,
sir.'' Judge Atkins proceeded then to pass
sentence, briefly but impressively, fixing
the time of the execution on Nov. 20 next.
The prisoner stood unmoved without mani
Testing the least emotion, and when the
Judge had concluded took his seat quietly.

Expiating a Brutal Murder.

FAREMERsvILLE, La, June 19.-Perry
and William Melton, father and son, were
hanged in the jail inclosure here to-day for
the murder of John W. Cherry, an old far
mer, at his home in the northern part of
this Union) parish on April Is, 1884. The
two murderers were neighborS of their
victim, but bad blood existed between the
families, caused by the MeltonS' jealousy of
Cherry's superior social and financial posi-
ton. The two families had frequent quar-
rels, but hostilities were delayed by old man
Cherry's peaceful disposition. On the
morning of the murder the Meltons were
passing Cherry's farm and saw the
old man working in his field. The elder
Melton called out to him that now was a
good time to settle scores, and the two ad-
vanced on Cherry, who retreated and warned
them off. Finally Cherry was compelled
to use his revolver, wounding the elder
Melton in the arm. His antagonists
then closed in upon him and at
tackled him with hoes. Cherry
turned and ran towards his residence,
calling to his wife to bring out the shotgun.
William Melton headed him off and got to
the house first. Just as Mrs. Cherry
stepped out of the door with the gun Melton
felled her with handspike that
he found in the yard and seized the
gun. Meantime Perry Melton came
up and held Cherry until William knocked
him down by dozen blows on the head.
Cherry begged for his life, but William beat
him with the handspike till the old mans
head was pounded to jelly. Mrs. Cherry,
who had regained her senses, took her
dying husbands head in her lap
but was brutally thrust aside. Cherry
showed some signs of life, and the elder
Melton thereupon told Perry to finish him.
He did so by crushing his skull. The Mel
tons hid in the neighbOrhood for several
weeks, finally escaping to Texas, where
they were captured The drop fell at 1 81.
Old man Melton's neck was dislocated,
and, with the exception of a
slight shrug of the shoulders he died imme-
diately after the fall without struggle.
His son William hung in terrible agony, the
loop having caught over his chin in de-
scending. 1t remained so, allowing easy
respiration. After fifteen minutes, his con-
dition being unchanged, the rope was read
justed, and death resulted in eleven min
utes. Neither of them made any state
ment. Their execution was private.

Information for Our Manufacturers

Information for Our Manufacturers.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Secretary Bay
ard has formulated a plan by which he pro-
poses to obtain for American manufactur-
ers, through the medium of the United
States consuls in Europe, all the informa-
tion they desire regarding manufactures
abroad. he has written to large number
of manufacturers of all kinds of articles
throughout the country, asking them to
submit to him any questions covering sub
jects upon which they desire information
regarding the manufacture of their respect
i've classes of goods in foreign countries,
and these questions will be sent to the
United States consul abroad, with instruc-
ton to obtain the information sought. Mr..
Bayard hopes by this plan to procure for
our manufacturers. such information as will
show conclusively whether in the price of
the raw material, the cost of labor and inn
proved machinery the American or the
European manufacturers have the advan-
tage in the production Of manufactured
articles. Secretary Bayard believes that the
possession of such information regarding
the cost of manufacture and the price of
raw materials abroad will also be of great
advantage to the United States government
in the collection of duty on imported arti-
.cles of foreign manufacture. Secretary
Manning is in full cooperation with the
secretary Of state in this new project.

WASHINGTON, June 19.-Comptroller
Durham's letter to ex-Commissioner Loring
asking him to deposit in the treasury the
disabled balance, is as follows: Treasury
Department, First Comptroller's Office,
June 16. Hon. George B. Loring,
Late Commissioner of Agriculture,
Washington, ID. G. Sir: Your account
for payment sfor the laboratory in the de-
partment of agriculture from June 1, 1884
to April 3, 1885, has been adjusted in this
office per report of the first auditor No.
246, BAT, and balance has been found due
the United States of $40, ,229. Your current
account show balance due yourself of $57S;
difference between the accounts, $40, ,SO7.
The balance found due the United States,
$40, 229, is part of disallowance made in
this account, as explained by the schedule
herewith transmitted. AS shown by the
schedule referred to. you have paid out from
the, appropriation for the laboratory of 1885,
the sum of $40, S07. which should have been
charged to the appropriation for the pur-
pose of propagation and the distribution of
valuable seeds in 1885. The above sum
seems to have been paid for sorghum seed;
for pay rolls in preparing said seed. or other
seeds for distribution, and none of it seems
to have been paid for chemists or apparatus
for the use of chemists or
microscopists or for any expert
mentS made in the manufacture of
sugar made from sorghum and other vege
table plants. 1t seems very plain to my
mind that all of the above amount as stated
in the vouchers presented should have been
charged to the fund appropriated for the
purchase, propagation and distribution of
valuable seeds and not the laboratory fund.
l find nothing In the precedent Of this Office
to warrant an allowance OF said account in
the form as now presented, and the amount,
$40, ,807, is therefore disallowed. The bal
ance found due the United States, $40, ,229,
you will please deposit in the treasury at
your earliest convenience in order that your
account may be closed on the books of the
department.. Very respectfully,
M. j. DURHAM, Comptroller.

Lesson to Wife.Beaters.
Special to the Globe.

BALTIMORE, M. D., June 19.-For the
first time since the passage of the ''pillory"
law in 1882, white man was lashed here
by order of the court. Frank PyerS
good-looking young fellow, was convicted in
the criminal court yesterday Of beating his
wife and sentenced by the Judge to six
months Imprisonment and to receive fifteen
lashes. The sheriff executed the sentence
this morning in the city jail. The weapon
used was cOwhide, three feet long and
clipped at the end. PyerS' arms were faS-
tened to the cross pieces above the post and
two iron bands placed one above and
the other below the knees. At the first
blow the Wretched mans every muscle
quivered with pain and his features worked
convulsively, but by an extreme effort he
was enabled to restrain cry of pain or a
groan. Up went the arms Of the sheriff
and the whip descended striking another
place and

Then in regular succession the blows fell,

suffered intensely but not groan escaped
him. When he was released no one spoke
word to him nor he to anyone. Shame
seemed to overpower him as much as his
sufferings. The physician at the jaildressed

said to the doctor that he thought
sit was a id hard sentence fora white

Silly SllObbery.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-MacRea, the
enew captain of the watch at the treasury
department, is making himself amusing to
all but the unfortunate watchmen. His
order directing Subordinates to give military
salutes is in full operation now. When
ever an official moves down corridor,
watchlnan after watchman goes out of his
chair stands bolt unright, moves three PAGES
the 'front.' SaluteS, retireS, and sits down.
AS the watchmen are numerous and the
movements of officials from one division to
another are frequent the salute pantomine
is going on all the time. This saluting busi
ness has come to- be looked upon as huge
joke, at which even the higher officials can
not conceal their amusement. When Sec
retary Manning walked in this morning, ac-
companied by gentleman. the watchman
+ at the door went through with
his nlaneuvers, just as he
had been instructed. The secretary
looked at his companion and then put his
hand to his face, partially concealing
broad grin and smothering smoker. Yes
terday MacRea went round on kind OF
inspection tour, scrutinizing his men with
the ardor Of young lieutenant fresh from
West Point. One watchman was told that
he must shave three times a week without
fail, another was directed to procure new
necktie at once, and so it went. Not
frayed shirt-front or missing one among
the buttons escaped the eagle eye OF
MacRea.
How Stallo Got the italian Mission.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June ia. G. Hesing has a
lengthy communication in to-day's Stats
Zeitang in which he explains how the ap-
pointment Of Judge j. B. Stallo OF Cincin-
natl to be United States minister to Italy
was brought about. According to this re-
cital Judge Cant and Carl Daenger, editor
cof the Anzeiger in St. Louis, and ex-GOv.
Keerner Of Belleville were the first to rec
oinmend the eminent German-American
jurist for the position, fortified by letter
from Oswald OttendOrfer, editor of the
New York Stats Zeitung. No per-
sonal attendance upon the president
to urge the fitness of their candidate
for the mission had been thought necessary
though, by these gentlemen, and A. G. Hes
ing was the first to do this and to acquaint
President Cleveland with the dissatisfac-
ton felt by our German-Americaa at the
comparative disregard to their claims in the
way of government appointments. Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretaries Bayard and
Manning both assured Mr.. Hesing that no
slight of the German-American element was
intended. Mr.. Hesing thereupon pre-
sented to Mr.. Cleveland couple of letters
from the pen of Stallo, in one Of
which the latter intimated that
the Italian mission would not be refused by
him. To this the executive is said to have
responded: ssI should not wonder, as it is
the best place in the gift of the govern
ment." Mr. Hesing also presented list of
the German-Americans appointed In the
foreign service and at home during Presi-
dent Lincoln's term, quite a long one. Con-
gresham Morrison is said to have lent Mr..
Hesing his aid in furthering Judge Stallo's
chances thus knocking out Judges Tree
and Dickey of Chicago.
