Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
PARIS, December 2S.-Prado, the MUIR
derer Of Marie Augentant, his mistress,
January IA. 1886, was guillotined this
morning in the Place da la Rouquette.
He preserved q firm demeanor to the
last, and refused to confess. He declined
the services of the chaplain.
An immense crowd collected outside
the prison last night and remained until
Prado had been executed. The rabble
spent the time in singing comic songs
and amusing themselves in boisterous
ways. Prado slept well until O'Clock.
He protested innocence of the murder of
Marie Augentant to the last and declared
against the injustice of this world. He
refused to disclose his real name. When
the jailers came to pinion his limbs he
offered no resistance while they were en-
gagged in this operation he shed
one tear. The sight Of the gull
lotine appeared to hypnotize him.
The execution was witnessed by 200
artists, newspaper men, actors, lawyers
and politicians who possessed influence
sufficient to obtain admission within the
sentry lines to the Place de la Rouquette.
In fifty seconds after his appearance at
the prison gate
HIS BLEEDING HEAD LAY IN A BASKET.
In front of the prison where the exc
cution took place were found group OF
men among whom we're seen some of the
most distinguished men in France. Near
n 81 m c.Ga Of M
path stood Mounet Sully, of the Comedie
Franchise; near him Armand Sylvestre
and Henri Rochefort; Alphonse Daudet
was said to be present.
Prado, in walking from the prison 10
the guillotine,
SHOWED NO SIGNS OF FEAR.
His arms were tightly pinioned behind
his back. His heavy locks, seen to such
advantage in the courtroom, were gone.
His apparel seemingly consisted of a
heavy woolen undershirt and dark trou-
sers. The shirt had been roughly cut
away from about his neck and shoulders.
In front of the guillotine the board stood
upright to the height of five feet. As
Prado neared the board
A MOST DREADFUL SERIES OF INCIDENTS
Followed each other with the rapidity OF
lightning. Four burly men dressed in
blouses of blue and white striped
ducking, who had not been seen
before, sprang forward, seized the
condemned man, hurled him onward
against the upright board, flung
themselves upon him, and by their
weight bore the struggling victim face
downward to the top of the low platform
that the board worked on, on swivel and
ran on rollers. In an instant it had been
wheeled forward until the
NECK WAS UNDER THE GLIsTENING KNIFE.
Deibler, who had stood like a man OF
stone at the right of the guillotine dur
ing all this terrible scene, now reached
forward and fixed wooden collar over
the back OF the prisoners neck. Then
the knife sprung and the keen steel
struck the neck as it might have collided
with q rubber car spring. 1t went
through, and the head of Prado lay
among the shavings beyond.

LEONG SING HANGED.
How the Hig ghbinder StOlfdiy Face
His Fate.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 2S.-Leong
Sing was hanged in the County Jail to-
day for the murder of his uncle nearly
three years ago. During the past few
days the condemned man had exhibited
the most stolid indifference to his fate
and even up to within few hours of his
execution would not believe that he was
to die. His cell mates were two fellow
countrymen and last night they made
every effort to impress upon his mind
the fact that
This WOULD BE HIS LAST DAY ON EART H.
The condemned Chinaman arose early
this morning and ate hearty breakfast.
He was removed to cell near the gal
lows about O'Clock and made request
to be- left alone a few moments, which
was denied. He seemed to realize this
morning that he would have to die, but
it did not appear to cause him any
anxiety whatever.
he REFUSED TO EMBRACE THE CHRISTIAN
MH 5 RELIGION
And would have nothing to say to the
priest who called upon him. But little
interest was taken in the execution and
the crowd in the jail was small.
Leong Sing was led out of his cell al
IL O'Clock, and in a few minutes every.
thing was ready and the trap was sprung
The murderer died without a struggle.

Gales OF Last Month

Gales OF Last Month ?
? NEW YORK December 2S.-Speculation
is rife on the Maritime Exchange over
the possible fate Of the Samana, which
left here for Hayti and San Domingo on
November 22d. Nothing has been heard
of the vessel since. 1t may be recalled
that the Samana's departure was signal
lied by heated controversy between the
then Haytian Consul, E. D. Bassett, and
the Custom House officials. Bassett
claimed the vessel carried arms and am
munitions for the insurgents, and made
strenuous efforts to have the vessel de-
1ayed until the cargo could be inspected.
Collector Magone refused to interfere and
the Samana cleared on November 25th.
The eastern coast of the United States,
the direct route of the Samana, was
visited by one of the most severe storms
ever experienced before. 1t is generally
believed that she is lost. The Samana
is an iron screw steamer Of 545 gross tons,
commanded by Capt. John James with a
crew of eighteen.

The trouble at the Mullan tunnel

is now stated that the road will be in
operation to Butte IN less than six weeks.

They seem to have given up all idea of
getting market in Butte or Helena for
the Sand Coulee coal, OF which nothing
has been herd since a sampl, ear. load
was run down to Helena few months
ago. 1t is not of sufficiently good quality
to obtain footing with consumers. and
the importance of reaching better sup
ply is doubtless realized by the company.
The course Of the main line westward is
still enveloped in Mystery. About the
only route west of Montana on which
any of the Manitoba's engineers seem to
have been identified is the Clearwater
and its tributaries, which would indicate
that it WAS proposed to cross the Bitter
Root mountains by the best lass leading
to the headyaters OF the Clearwater, fol-
lowing down that stream to Lewiston,
thence down the Snake and the north
side of the Columbia to tilewater.
Should the Manitoba make another cros-
sing of the Rocky Mountains at Cadotte's
pass, and find feasible pass throu h the
Bitter Roots to the Clearwater, the
above would be the sh0rtes and most
direct possible route to the coast. The
line would follow the Blackfuot from
Cadotte's pass to Missoula thence paral-
led with the Bitter Root railroad, twelve
miles to the north of the Lou Lou,
swinging up stream, and through the
pass at its head to the Clearwater. The
people of Spokane Falls, however appear
to be confident that the Manitoba will
head for their flourishing city, there to
meet the Seattle 4 Eastern, to which
they have bound themselve to paw a
bonus of $l75,OO0. To do so it would
have to follow down the Missoula river
and mp the st. Regis Borgia, through
C9ur d'Alene pass, and down tie Cnur
d'Alene, and there is as yet no indica-
tion of any location being made west of
the Rocky Mountains in that direction.

MILWAUKEE, May 23.-[Special 10 the
Independent. 1.-The report that Willard
is soon to be in control of the Northern
Pacific railway and Oregon Transconti-

interest here. owing to the fact that the
Wisconsin Central railway is also con-
trolled by Willard and his friends.
When the narket money was light. and
the company had difficulty to meet the
demands upon it, Willard came forward,
and, upon few days notice, furnished
the Oregon Transcontinentai company
with $1,000. 600, which relieved it of all
embarrassment. He also found purchas-

Germany have not only been willing to
furnish large sums Of money for these,
but are ready to continue to do SO, so far
as may be required. and they have pur-
chased large amount of the Oregon

the expectation that Willard will here
after be prominent in the management
of the company.

The Gradual Exhaustion of Soil.

M country was ever blessed by nature
with more productive soil. She made
she best use of the long ages prior to the
settlement of this country by white men,
in forcing the most luxuriant growth of
vegetation. and by its decay and that of
the annual crop of foliage, had filled the
soil with an amount of fertility that
seemed exhaustless. So thought our fa-
thers, and 30 think now many of the oc-
cupiers of the great fertile West. But
continual taking out and putting nothing
back would exhaust even the ocean. 1t
has exhausted the millions of acres ofthe
older East. and 1t will exhaust the most
fertile fields of the West. A study of the
census must convince any searcher that
the production of all our crops is year by
year growing less and less. 1t cannot be
attributed TO change of seasons for a
series of years, but can be only to one
cause.-The gradual exhaustion of plant
food by our unthinking and unwise
course.
The subject OF outstanding the resource
ofour acr's, and dofreturning to our stary-
ing fields those elements of plant growth
quite so nearly exhausted, is yearly
forcing itselfmnre prominently upon the
attention of the farmers of at least the
eastern half of our country, and the line
is very rapidly extending westward.
Millions of acres that once produced
magnificent crops of the various grains,
even west of the great lakes, arc now ly-
ing vacant, or barely paying for the most
shiftfess cultivation. This question can
not be seriously considered too soon, even
by the farmers OH the now rich and pro-
ductive prairies west Of the great rivers.
Every train that passes eastward is load.
ed with portion oftheir fertility, much
of it in the crude and barely remunera.
tive state of bran, oil meal. snd the coarser
grains, and, to the shame of the farmers
even In the bones of their animals, while
the returning trains carry back nothing
in the nature of plant food.
Though western farmers may think
they have no need of such knowledge,
they should not fail to thoroughly post
themselves, and those farmers who do so
and who take advantage of this knowl-
edge, will, by and by, be looked upon as
the lucky ones" who have the richest
farms in the vicinity in which they live.
