derer McIlyaine sentenced to die the
same death as Kemler. About four

the trial, The three robbers slept in
Mcllvaine's rooms and McIlvaine's

was in the act of robbing the house
when the grocer awoke aud seized him.
In the struggle, the grocer's wife
rushed out of her BEDROOM just in time
to see her husband stabbed to death.
In this case, too, every legal dodge
and device was resorted to in the
effort To save this murderous Thug.
His trial cost the County OF Kings
several thousand dollars, and it was

In the past fortnight three young
gangs Of highwaymeu have been ar

but strange as it may seem, our sister
city has no provision for extreme
juvenile Offenders. The youngest
band OF thieves had held up several
boys in true hIghwaynah style, right
IN the middle of the afternoon. They
took watches, jackknives, breast pins,
handkerchefs aud cash IN small

the prizes of the afternoon hunt were
two velocipedes, goat skin robe from

| mentioned couple OF weeks ago a
serious disturbance in the Episcopalian
Church on account Of the high church
procllvities of the rector, Mr.. Williams.
The congregation made it so warm for
Mr.. Williams that he finally resolved
to resign, but eighty of his admirers
resolved to petition Bishop Littlejohn
to form a new parish. The committee

the rite of confirmation. The story
goes that the committee followed the
Bishop into the vestry, and while he
was disrobing insisted, against his
protest, On reading their peution for
the formation Of new parish, of
which the refractory clergyman should
be the rector. The Bishop curt,y in
