PAYS THE PENALTY.
Murderer BurchaITs Soul Sent Into
Eternity.

Birchall, the murderer OF Benwell,
was hanged at 1926 at Wood
stock, Ontario, on Nov. lith. His
wonderful nerve never left him, He
walked to the gallows with firm
tread, but looking very pale. He pro-
tested his innocence to the last and
claimed that time would clear up the
dreadful mystery. When on the scat
fold his spiritual adviser, Wade, shook
Birchall's pinioned hand and kissed
him good bye. The trap was sprung
at 1926 and strong mems hearts stirred
aud their faces turned pale, for Bir-
chall began a terrible sort OF gallows
dance in mid-air, his legs drawing up
and Strengthening out maay times, as
il in mortal agony. At8:30 he ceased
the struggle and at $3.50 was pro.
nounced dead. The body was cut
down and an autopsy held. He was
buried In the Jail yard.
The last words spoken by Birchall
were to the hangman. He said:
"Have you any objection to shaking
hands with me?" "Certainly not, )"
replied the executioner, and u long
hand shake followed.
Birchall seemed 10 fear that u faxed
confession might be worked of on the
public alter his death and to guard
against this he made statement IN
writing to the effect that he is limo
cent Of the murder Of Benwell and
any statement hereafter published to
the contrary is without u word of
truth

STORY OF THE WRECK.
The Tale OF tho Loss of the Serpent
and Crew Olhcially Told.

The British cruiser Lapwing has
taken on board at Camarinas the three
survivors of the Serpent and will con-
vey them to Corunna, where they will
be transferred to the troop ship Tyne,
bound for England. The scene OF tho
wreck abounds with rocks over which
the waves are continually dashing,
mutilating the corpses OF the vic inns
so that many OF the bodies recovered
are unrecognizable. The survivors
after their marvellous escape through
the surf and rocks to land, staggered
and crawled over the distance of two
and one-half miles TO Camarinas. In
the official report the survivors state
that the vessel struck at 1880 p. m.
She was steering west by south, three
quarters west, and proceeded about
nine knots an hour. The weather
was thick and wet aud there was u
violent wind. After striking the
rocks the heavy swell caused tho yes.
sci to thump heavily. This losted
half an hour. Meanwhile tho officers
remained on tho bridge, The crew at
the captains orders took to tho rig
ging. Finally Il tremendous sea struck
the vessel and threw her TN her
beams ends. The lew survi-
vors being members OF the life boats
crew, had their belts on. They are
able to state nothing accurately as to
w hat oppprra1 pftpr thav yvapp wnShnI
overheard, but they suppose that the
same wave threw their companions
into the sea and that they were all
drowned or killed by contact with the
rocks.

The fact that milk Is liquid In form
deccives many persons rs TO Its nutri-
tive value. as well rs regards the
character o. food needed to produce
it. Farmers know by experience that
mnngolds or other beots. whilo often
promoting u large flow OF milk. either
make It OF poor quality or rapidly
reduce the flesh OF the COW. This fact
Is explained by the chemical analysis
OF milk which shows only eighty-iiye
per cont Of water while the mangolds
have ninety-ono per cent Fodder
corn when green has eighty per cent
OF water but IL contains even less
proportion OF heterogeneous matter than
the mangods. Good milk IL rich In

Its carbon is in the form OF fat and Is

enous matter shows when milk Is

In the food, the milk can only be good

COLLISION OF TRAINS
Disastrous Collision Between Pas.
senger Trains.

A collision occurred on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad near Florence, Pa, on
the 14th inst betwetween the first and
second sections OF the western express,
killing two passengers and injuring
eighteen others. The accident was
caused by heavy fog, which pre-
vented the engineer from seeing the
first section in time to stop his train.
The horror and fright of the passen.
gers in the sleeper Biscay, which was
telsscoped by the engine of the sec.
ond section, was added to by the tog
which made it impossible to see what
had happened. The car caught fire
speedily, but the passengers were re-
moved before their condition was made
more horrible by burns,
The only reason the death list is not
larger is because number OF the
passengers from the rear end were in
the Mushroom making their toilet.
