After the fire was under great Roadway, it was
discovered that ten-year old boy was in the burn

to rescue the boy probably at the cost of his own
life, but to no effect and the family and friends
could do nothing hut stand and see the burning
timbers fall in, cOnslgning the little fellow TO a
fiery grave. Mr.. BranCh's body was horribly
burned. There is but little hope OF his recovery.
The rest of the family escaped unhurt, in their
night clothes, barely having time to get out of the
building.
The facts before the jury, which has been hold
ing inquest to-day ovec the body of the man who
was found suspended from tree in the woods,
yesterday, are that his name is George Peterson,
and that he is a native of Denmark, though he has
tor some time been living at Waco, where he has
been in business. He had over five hundred dol
ars deposit with the First National bank at this
place, and when found, had about thirty do lars in
his pocket. ~ had evidently hung himself with a
small twIne cord, "a there was no evidence of any

A,PariS Execution.

The president of the republic has de-
parted from his almost inv aria BILE rule
OF reprieving in the case of Kmnig, alias
lie Nome one of the two low young
ruttians sentenced to death at the AS
sizes OF the Seine on the 10th OF Feb

principal accomplice, was re H.ieved.
NJ. DiebIer gave the signal that the
gulllotine was ready for it's morning s
victim, and the magistrates gathered
on the Place de la Roquette went into
the La Roquette prison. Kenig was
found fast asleep in his cell.
On being awakened and told his
hour had come, he sat up in bed with
g. start, and, turning deathly pale, as
his frame began trembling, he exclaim-
ed in a terrified voice: "But tell you
l did not commit the murder! TO be
guillotined at my age 1.-THE prisoner was
not yet twenty);it is impossible! lam
innocent!'' The Able Faure approach
ed the condemmned man and exhort-
ed him to more firnness. Kmnig
threw the blanket away from him and
jumped out Of bed, saying in tones of
despair: "Well, if must go. But it
is too awful, I tell you. am innocent.
In any case do not care!' This said
he began to cry, and as the Able men,
toned the name of his mother to him
he exclaimed: "All, yes, my mother,
my poor mother 1t is hard for her to
see me come to this sad end. But she
won'tb be there"
The wretched man was then almost
carried into the pinioning-room, where
Diebler and his assistants cut off the
collar of his shirt and pinioned him
from head to foot, leaving his legs
barely free to shuttle along.
At 5:25 the procession issued from
the prison gates. The appearance OF
the murderer's features as he ,ap-
preached the fatal instrument was one
OF indescribable horror. ooh, gentle
men," he whined, Il am innocent, yes
innocent. do not want to die. Twill
not dle!' He groaned as the foot OF
the gulllotine was reached. and pres
emily his groans and whines changed
to shrieks of horror as the execution
er's assistants laid hands on him
to tilt him on the fatal plank. The
emotion among the crowd grew to it's
height as Koenig gave a yell and made
a desperate effort to wriggle his head
from the block. In moment all was
over. and the body Of the wretched
young murderer was conveyed direct
to GENTLY Cemetery and there buried
not being considered of any value
anatomically. ~
