A HORRIBLE SCENE.

When the sheriff pulled the trigger
holding the 450 pound weight on the
other end OF the rope, the body shot up
into the air distance Of fifteen feet.
Then ensued probably one Of the most
horrible scenes ever witnessed at an
execution. The moose failed to tighten
and the rope slipped around on the
wretChed mans neck. He groaned aud
shrieked and his words could almost be
distinguished as he struggled with his
arms and finally succeeded In sufficient
ly freeing his hands TO almost reach
the rope. Hangman Van Hise stood
by reaching up to the moose,
and finally succeeded In getting II
around so that the weight Of the body
rested on the throat and life was slowly
strangled out Of the man. The struggle
lasted two or three minutes, and until
the hangman got the moose under the
chin. Many OF those present thought
that the hanging man would have TO BIZ
takep down and strung up q second
time in order tha! the law might be
fully satisfied This horrible alternative
was fortunately averted, as after Van
Hlse readjusted the moose the struggles
Soon ceased. Alter fifteen minutes the
physicians announced = that the heart
had ceased to beat, and ten minutes
later the body was cut down and placed
in O coffin and turned over 10 the dead
mans father for interment,

What Other States are Doing

A general summary of what is be-
ing done for the temperance cause is
taken from the leading editorial of
the Madison State Journal of Feb.
13th:
There seems to be a general wax
ing up all through the northern
states this winter in respect to deal
ing more vigorously with the liquor
traffic The people are weary of the
enormous evils and burdens that re-
suit from the saloon, and now that
the national election, with it's absorb
ing excitements, has passed by, they
seem determined to put the saloon
under rigid restraint. Some states,
indeed, go farther yet, and will en-
deavor to abolish it.
In Massachusetts,, in accordance
with the recommendation of Cover
nor Ames, the legislature has deter
mined by Large majority to submit
to the people constitutional amend.
ment for prohibition. The matter
will come to vote this year.
New Hampshire already has statu-
tory prohibition of the sale of liquor,
and though it has often been disre-
garded in the cities, the authorities
hive closed many saloons this year
under the nuisance act. The consti-
tutional convention of the state has
just resolved to strengthen the posi-
ton by submitting constitutional
amendment for prohibition to popu-
lar vote, which will abolish the man
ufaCture as we'll as the sale of liquor.
In New York the vigorous high IL
cense agitation by Warner Miller
thoroughly aroused the people, and
there are measures now pending at
Albany for prohibition, for county
option and for high license. The
Republican Legislature there will
doubtless pass one or both of the
latter, though it is likely that Cover
nor Hill, true to his past record, will
veto any such law
In Pennsylvania, the Legislature
has by an overwhelming majority
voted ty submit prohibitory amend.
ment to the people, and Governor
Beaver has signed the bill. The cit
liens Of the Keystone state will ex.
