Fort SMITH, Ark, Aug. 31.-A
double hanging occurred here yesterday
The two men were Jack. Spaniard, a
white Cherokee Indian and William
Walker, a negro, both murderers.
Walker listened to the death warrant
with seeming Indifference. Spaniard,
when the guards entered his cell to
handcuff him, seized a chair and threat
ened to beat to death any one who
touched him. His object was to induce
the guards to shoot him. He begged
Jailer Pape to shoot him. Three
quarters of an hour was required to in
duce him to listen to reason and then
he submitted to being manacled. Ar
irving at the gallows, some time was
spent in religious devotions, when the
nooses were adjusted, the black caps
placed and the trap was sprung. The
necks of both were broken by the fall
Spaniard was hung for the murder of
United States Deputy Marshal Erwin a
year ago while cndeavoring to rescue a
criminal from that officer. Walker
murdered Calvin Church, colored, .
wear and a half ago.

4 CLOSE CALL.

An Ornithologist Is Nearly Killed by
Seagulls.
TAUNTON, Mass, Aug. 3O.-John G.
Calhoun, OF this city, is employed by
the pathological department of this
Smithsonian institute to collect for them
birds, nests, eggs, etc. They lately
sent him to New Foundland to get them
complete exhibition of marine fowls,
their nests and eggs, and two weeks ago
he started. News was received today
by his family that he had very narrow
escape recently at Cape st. May and was
still unable to do any work from the
shock he had received. 1t seems he do
termined to scale the cliff-like rock that
rises out of the sea some half mile from
the cape. The beach is narrow, and the
cliffs fiat at the top, rise almost per-
pendicular to height of 400 feet, the
last $50 feet being straight up and down.
Despite the warning of the natives
he determined to make the ascent
by the aid of an Alpine
stock and rope. The latter, 15o feet
long, he carried tied to his belt. After
two hours climbing and by hair breadth
escapes, he reached the top. The only
human being to accomplish the feat.
No sooner had he achieved his object
than he aroused great swarm of sea.
gulls, etc, that flew so viciously at him
that to save his eyes and face he had to
lay down on the rocks. This saved
him, but he was terribly clawed and
bitten. He attempted to escape by
crawling, and finally got over the edge
of the cliff on narrow shelf where he
remained several hours vainly calling
for help. Finding himself out of hear
ing he determined to try and escape.
Making his rope secure to the shelf he
swung himself out in the dizzy abyss,
and although his fingers and face were
terribly picked by his enemies, ne
reached the bottom of the perpendicular
wall, and here his aides found him and
helped him to the beach. He was un-
able to walk or talk through exhaus.

Germans and Porkers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.--Commercial
Agent Bramlette. of Playen, Germany,
has forwarded to the state department a
carefully prepared report on the prohi-
bition of American pork in Germany.
He shows that this action has increased
the Importation by Germany of canned
meats from the United States, and has
also increased the production of Ger
man pork about 3 per cent. per annum.
1t has, however, resulted in general
reduction of commerce in meats in the
commercial world, and thinking Ger
mans now admit the prohibition has
proved injurious to Germany. One re-
suit has been to lessen the amount OF
meat consumed in Germany, which was
already comparatively small.

New York, Aug. 30.---Joe Atkinson,
the hangman, is not the only person
whose wealth has been increased by the
execution of the four murderers at the
tombs last Friday. On that day the
policy dealers in this city were hit
heavily and frequently, and they say
that their misfortune is due to the
hanging. Ii appears that the supersti-
tious policy players, and they are in the
majority, on that day played the '.dcad

and 29, which was suggested by the
hanging. Wonderful to relate, these
numbers came ont. and many of the
players have been made some hundred
dollars richer.
