MEMPHIS, Tenn, September 3.-James
Simpson and Patterson Bell two negroes
were hanged to-day at Marion, Arkansas
IL miles Northwest OF Memphis. About
200 people, mostly colored witnessed the
execution. There were the usual exercises
which consisted OF reading a chapter
from the bible, singing a hymn and prayer
by two colored ministers. They both de-
clared their innocence although they had
previously confessed. The drop was
sprung at 12 p. M. and in IL minutes
both were pronounced dead, their necks
having been broken. They were executed
for the murder Of Lee Goldsmith, at St.
Thomas Landing 25 miles North OF here
on January2.

A Fight to the Finish.

NEWARK, N. j., September 3.-An excit-
ing ten-round fight took place near the
village OF Summit, on the edge OF Essex
County, New Jersey, yesterday between
Joe Klotz, of Posaic, and Edward McEvoy
of Elizabeth.
In barroom McEvoy's brother had
been whipped by Klotz. McEvoy then cha[
l+nged klotz and the latter accepted.
Friends of both parties raised q purse OF
5000. Both men fought like wildcats.
Neither had much science. McEvoy was
the heavier, Klotz the cleyerer. Referee
and seconds were knocked down when they
got in the way. In the eighth round
McEvoy was winded and ready to collapse.
Klotz was pretty weary, but kept up the
battle.
Klotz made dash at McEvoy in the
ninth round and threw him. A claim OF
foul was raised. A tumult followed. 1t
gave McEvoy time to rest.
In the t. nth round Klotz rushed at bis
adversary again, to repeat his tactics. He
got swinging right hand blow on the neck
and dropped to the ground in state OF
collapse. He moaned: II am done for"
McEvoy was awarded the stakes. Some
people who were on the ground claim that
he is New York pugilist in disguise, and
say that he ia Ed. Mullahan's unknown.

One Of those things which no man has
ever explained, and which in all proba-

Of time, is why ice, which can be had in
any quantity in most winters for the
mere hauling, right at our town doors,
costs more than coal, that has to be dug
out of the earth at great expense, and
must be prepared for the market by the
aid Of expensive machinery, and then

Between the sunshine and nights shade
We foated on adown the river
Not Death himself our souls might sever,
We felt we should SO float forever.
And passion slept, secure from waking,
Our hearts forgot their ancient aching,
Our spirits SO the past fOrSaking,
We knew that delicate hour aud golden
Delight was ours and memory olden
In poppy sleep was fast enfolden.
The tapping wave no boisterous billow,
Behind Us swept past reed and willow.
Love for our guide and peace our pillow,
What joy 10 see the coy moon peeping
Ger dreaming bills and woodlands sleeping,
Ever her aithful vigil keeping.

The Latest Society Whim.

The latest craze which has struck
the Washington belle is the carrying
of canes. A few weeks ago young
leader in society returned from En-
gland, and the next day she surprised
her friends by appearing on the streets
with n cane. 1t wasn't the ordinary
dude cane, but nice little stick with
shepherds crook of hammered silver
Sometimes she swung it and at other
times she struck the ground with
sharp rap. There is no question that
this created sensation, but there is a
great deal of difference of opinion as
to whether the craze will strike in or
not. So far not more than half dozen
girls have mustered up courage enough
TO appear on the street with canes.
The probabilities are that the craze
will not extend to that point where it
will seriously interfere with the ordi-
nary everyday happiness of the mod
ern dude. = Washington Letter.

The Remarkable Stroke Experienced and
OhserveA in Minnesota.

The Granite Falls JouyWal, Minnesota,
gives an account by N O. Garlic and
Christian Olson, farmers of Granite
Falls, Of the remarkable results Of
stroke of lightning which struck the
prairie about mile and Il half from
Olson's house. 1t occurred in June
last, during heavy storm,
They say it made Il hole in the ground
between five and six feet across, and
nearly six feet deep, and from this hole
there extend six trenches two feet deep,
branching off in different directions,
and extending for distance Of from
six to eight rods. And what was
very singular, not u particle of
the sod and dirt thrown from the hole
and trenches was to be seen, except
now and then a large piece of sod
twenty or thirty rods away. Mr.. Olson
says that by actual measurement the
bitches plowed out by the lightning
from where it struck were all of an
equal distance apart; four OF them were
of the same length, and the other two
six feet shorter The report is said to
have been as terrible as if an explosion
had occurred. A lady sitting at a WIN
dow in house mile away sensibly
felt the shock; two men were sitting
outside another house mile away
from the scene, and so forcibly did they
feel it that they Immediately jumped
to their feet and went into the house
without speaking. Mr.. c A. Bennett,
editor of the Journal, writes us that
he vouches for the truthfulness of the
