..HAPPY BOB',vAN BRUNT HANGED.
The Salvation Army Murderer Pays the
Penalty Of His Crime.

WARSAW, N. Y, April 13-Robert Van Brunt
was eanged in warsaw jail yard this morning.
The crime for which "Happy Bob" Van Brunt was
hanged was the murder OF the half-brother OF his
sweetheart, Eva Roy. 'Happy Bob was promi-
nent member OF the Salvation Army, and for some
time before the murder, which occurred on the
evening OF october q, 1856, he had been counting
Eva Roy. Will Roy oDJected TO his attentions TO
his half-sister, and had tried many times 20 per-
suade her to break with "Happy Bob" but without
effect On the evening OF the crime Van Brunt
who was boarding with the koys, retired TO his
room, but later he heard talk In a low tone In the
parlor and believing the voices TO be those OF VIII
and Eva, he descended the stairs and found Eva In
her night-dress engaged In conversation, as he had
surmised, with Win the two sitting close together.
The remarks that were made 50 angered him that
he pulled his revolver from his poCket and fired
the fatal shot Coolly returning TO his room he
informed Fred that he had shot his brother. and
making no effort 70 escape, willingly gave himself
up. He was placed under arrest and at the next
term OF court was indicted for murder In the first
degree. HIS trial came on at an adjourned term
or court In February, 1887. The main evidence
against him was that OF Eva Roy. He was con-
victed and sentenced TO be hanged on April l5,
1887, but by appeals TO the General Term and the
Court OF Appeals, the date OF execution was post
pOnod until to-day.

LONDON. April l3-The attacks on Goschen's
financial policy increase In severity. The proposed
new taxes are strongly condemned by many on
his own side In politics, especially the taxes on
locornot1on. 1t now appears likely TO incur con-
siderable illwill on the part OF the large and i'm
portant class who have been induced to accept the
new reduced consols In exchange for three per
cents Yesterday was the last day for asserting

out OF 559,000,000, have signined their assent

There is much speculation how the stock was kept
up considerably above par before the conversion.
One reason was that bankers had a strong motive

owing TO the brite they received OF Is pence per

Law should be Retrospective.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING srAE
LONDON, April l3.-Lewis Morris, author OF the
epic ''Hades" while rejoicing in the prospect OF
concessions TO English authors n respect 70 copy
right, asks why the proposed measure is not re-
Prospective. He estimates that Tennyson lost
three-quarters OF q million dollars owing TO tho
non-existence OF copyright, and asks why he and
other authors who have already done their best
work should not begin TO get profit out OF works
already published. Further, he pleads in favor OF
the alteration OF the clause requiring Simultaneous
publication In England and America He thinks
an interval OF a few weeks should be allowed. He
admits IL seems ungracious TO look too narrowly
at the terms OF the proposed settlement, but con-
siders that such a settlement must be reciprocal
and what America does Tor England England
must do for America.
