Four Murderers bangle.


NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The four
murderers of women, Patrick Packen-
ham, Jack Lewis, (colored) James No
Ian and Ferdinand Carolen were hang
ed in the yard of the tom bs prison this
morning. There were two scaffolds
and two men were hanged on each.
Packenham and Nolan were first eX-
ecuted on the scaffold which had been
erected on the Franklin street side of
the prison. The drop fell at 6:55.
Eight minutes later Lewis and Carolin
were hanging from the scaffold on the
Leonard street side. Sheriff Flack
and Under Sheriff Sexton entered the
prison at 6:35 o'clock. They were fol-
flowed by 20 deputy sheriffs all in
black clothes and wearing silk hats.
Each official wore his badge of office
and carried a staff. They marched
through the corridor into the court
yard. Two of them went to the Leonard
street side and the others took their
places at the Franklin street wall.
At $50 O'Clock, the first jury Of II
men, all newspaper representatives
were given signal to enter the pris-
on yard, and two minutes later,
the second set Of jurors filed out
and marched to their places. The
black caps were adjusted and Nolan
and Packenham were swung up. At
the expiration of four minutes Pack
enham's pulse had gone up to SO and
then sank rapidly to so beats a min
ute. Nolan's pulse at the fourth
minute was bounding at 20, but it too
became weaker, and at the expiration
of five minutes was no longer percep-
tible. At 7:10 both men were pro-
nounced dead, but were permitted
to hang for fifteen minutes longer
The hanging Of Carolin and Lewis in
several aspects is probabl unparal-
leled. CaroIin, as he walked to the
scattOld suddenly exclaimed: " l die
an innocent man, Cd DIM it. did
not do this thing" Lewis, who had
then been piniOned, half turned his
head, and addressing his companion,
said: "WhaG's the matter with
you, any way? Why don't you
die like a man" 81 will die like a
man." shrieked CAROLYN his face turn
ing perfectly livid, II will die like
man, an innocent man, The miser-
able wretches went into the air with
so little force that there was scarcely
rebound at all. Lewis Immediately
began to struggle in the most sicken-
ing manner. He threw his legs so
violently as to kick off his slippers,
then he began to gurgle and choke
The rasping, wheezy sound came
from under that horrible black cap
for fully ten seconds. His body
turned and swayed and the con-
tortions were SD painful that half
a dozen men turned away their
heads. The poor creature was
slowly strangled. Carolin's body was
violently contorted also, but he ut
tered no sound. The weight fell at
7:3 o'clock and at 7:10 both men were
dead. The four bodies hung for half
an hour and were then cut down and
placed in plain collins.

ton of the Liverpool cotton exchange
not to have anything to do with cot
ton in cotton bagging the New Or
leans Item says very truly:
"When the alternative is presented
of taking cotton covered bales or 60
ing without any, as it should and we
hope will be, the Liverpool buyer
will not long hesitate. He knows
upon which side his bread is but
tered. National pride as we'll as self
interests should impel the American
exchanges to unanimously and en-
phatically reply that the interests Of
American cotton-growers and of
American bagging manufacturers de-
termine them in the support of the
employment of cotton bagging."
The conclusion of the cotton eX-
change Of New York to net cotton ir-
respective of the character of the bag
ging, decision which will no doubt
be followed at New Orleans and Mem
phis, will compel the Liverpool asso-
citation to take just what the Ameri-
can buyers give them. If cotton is
king he is a constitutional mon arch
administered by a foreign dictator.
Jonathan will not confine cotton bag
ging to the jute article merely to sat
isfy an English jute trust.
THE Ell Paso Herald is evidently
not very sanguine over the appoint
ment of II. G. Lyons as chief of
police for that sandy-haired city.
The office was long untitled because
a democratic mayor would not nomi-
nate any one to the vacancy whom
the republican council would confirm.
Lyons has now been nominated and
confirmed and the Herald says:
"El Paso's new chief of police en-
tiers upon the duties of a very impor-
tant Office without the least expert
ence as peace officer. From all re-
ports he is level-headed steady, So
Der man, not so vain but that he real
ICES he has much to learn, and with
ability enough to make use of the
knowledge gained by the experience
of others. In the performance of the
duties of his office, in strictly and inn
partially enforcing the provisions of the
charter relating to the same, he will
have the support of the Herald and
the taxpayers and citizens of this
city"

rience will do better than a wind bag

4 NUISANCE


The business men on West Broadway
are considerably annoyed at the numsr-
ons express wagons which frequent
that tfroughfare, on both sides Of
the street. From the opera house
to Main street the teams are
punched up against the sidewalk,
and no amount Of coaxing q get the
drivers to move even to allow the sprink-
ling carts to sprinkle in front of the
places of business. While the motor is
passing life is endangered. particularly
If a lady is driving, by the vehicles be-
coming entangled.
Another complaint from the business
men is that the foul odor and stencil
arising from having horses standing in
front of their business houses Is sicken-
ing. Probably no other city In the nm
ion allows drays and carts to stand in
front of business houses to the extent
that it is done in Butte. No one on West
can tie a horse in front OF his
place OF business owing to the continued
presence of these teams.
The council at its next meeting should
the draymen places. They should
be placed somewhere where parties can
procure them on short notice, and it has
been suggested around the Central
school building would be the proper
place. In front Of the Central yards, OF
On Galena street, where the wood teams
now concentrate, are also suggested al
good locations.

The discovery made by a visitor that
n Of the lock-boxes at the postofice
was being rifed of its contents in a
surreptitious manner bya boy and a girl,
who had, by some furtive means, obtained
possession of a key to the box, suggests
the possibility Of there being other SINH
lar cases. In this instance the young
culprits had doubtless found the key in
the box-door, where it had been carelessly
left by some one authorized to get the mail,
and the children had thus been enabled to
locate the box. They doubtless hoped to
get money by rifling the mails, no other
object being apparent. The unpleasant
incident suggests two morals: first, the
necessity Of the parents placing a scru-
tinizing eye upon the children in ques-
ton, il they do not wish them to bring
up in the penitentiary; and. second, the
possessors Of boxes paying a little more
attention to their own business and not
leaving keys to tempt the cupidity of
children or elders.
