A Chinese Execution.

LONDON, April 6.-Letters received
here from Hong Kong report another
wholesale execution IN that city recently
The condemned in this case numbered
six, and were the last of the miners con-
vIcted of melting a revolt at the Koutsiou
mine at Monglez, in the Yunnan prov
ince. The programme of the execution
began with the announcement to the
prisoners Of the approval of their death
sentence by the viceroy. This was fol-
lowed by rich. banquet served to them
by the mandarin, consisting of roast pork
and duck, fish and rice, with an
abundance of Chinese wines. The
condemned men were then freed
from their letters, their hands tied
behind their backs and they were led to
the place of execution, surrounded on
the way by the troops, who fired volleys
into the air from time to time. On their
arrival the death sentence was read to
the prisoners and they were then given
over into the hands of the executioners,
soldiers chosen at random from the
army. These men did their duty as well
as professional executioners, and five of
the six heads fell in the baskets at the
first stroke of the sabers. The sixth neck
offered a little more resistance, and a
second stroke was necessary. The exc
cution was witnessed by immense

Special to the Gazette.

SpeclaI TO the GaZeCGes
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 6.-Henry
E. Dixey is again in trouble over his
debts. ''The Seven Ages' company
terminated successful two-weeks' en-
gagement here ton light. Word of this
reached the ears of the creditors of BOTH
Rice and DixeY, and two suits were COM
menced to-day ,one by G. Dehart Brewer,
a New York lawyer, and the other
by Nixon s. Zimmerman, managers of
the Chestnut street opera house, Chest
nut street theater and Broad street thea
ter. Brewer issued an attachment upon
the box receipts and Nixon s. Zimmer-
man sued for debt of $1,000, which they
claim they hold Rice s. Dixey's note
for. When these two summonses were
presented to the box office the creditors
were met with contract which showed
that the company was owned by J. c.
Duff, and that Dixey was under salary to
Duff as the star attraction of the compa-
ny, and Rice as manager. Therefore,
the wrIts had no effect.
In regard to the dissolution of the
partnership, Mr.. Rice said that he would
not part with Mr.. Dixey until the end of
the season. Their relations, extending
over fifteen years, had been perfectly
friendly. Dixey next year would run his
own company, playing "Seven
Ages'' and ''Adonis, and Mr..
Rice would produce at the Broad
street theater in this city a new farce
comedy, 'tThe World's FAIR, which
would contain many novel features and
which, through patriotism on his part,
would give a worlds fair to every city
on the continent.

CITY OF PARIS.
Captain of the Adriatie Explains His Action
Toward the Disabled Vessel-He Ten
dered all Assistance.

NEW YORK, April 6.-The Adristio
arrived here to-day. Capt. Roberts was
questioned about his action toward the
disabled City of Paris. He states that
the story published is not true and is
vouched for by one of his saloon passen-
gers, George G. Stearns. Capt. Roberts
states he laid by the City Of Paris six
hours and that on the boat from Paris
coming alongside his vessel he in
formed the officer in charge that rs
would do all in his power 70 assist the
disabled ship. He signalled sighted Al
dersgate, and with her proceeded to
come up to the Paris, and on reaching
her told Capt. Walking that he had
spoken TO the Aldersgste, who was will
ing to tow the Paris to Queenstown or
to take OFF her passengers and
leave them at Queenstown, not New
York, as has been incorrectly reported,
and even stated to Capt. watkins that if
it was absolutely necessary to save life
he would tow the Paris to Queenstown.
Capt. Watkins, on learning from Capt.
Roberts that the steamer Aldersgate
would tow him, slgnalled tThanks: go
ahead - so he proceeded on his voyage.

NOT A SAINT.
4 Young Minister in New York State
Has One Wife Too Many.
After Being Expelled from the Methodist
Ministry He is Arrested on Charge
of Bigamy.
Special to the Gazette.

SpeClal 10 the GaZetCe.
CLEAN, n. Y, April 6.-Rev. John
Dorrity Wood, young Methodist min
ister, is in trouble for having one wife
too many. He is about twenty-five years
old. and presents the appearance of q
dry goods clerk instead of a Gospel ex-
FOUNDER. Last October he was ap-
pointed to the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Port Allegheny, Pa, By a
conference of his district, and at once
assumed charge. He represented him
self as single man, but early in De-
cemDer brought bride to the parsonage
in the person of Isabella Mann, a young
and charming Buffalo girl, who at once
took an active part in the
church work which her husband
was devoting his energies to, and
up to short time ago everything was
serene, and then ugly rumors began to
be waited about to the effect that the
model man was not q model, q Christian
or minister as he should be; also that
down in New Jersey there was another
woman who had prior claim upon him
as husband.
The rumors reached the ears Of the
presiding elder, and two weeks ago Rev.
Wood was suspended pending trial.
Last Thursday council of clergymen
was held and he was expelled from the
church and ministry. He failed to ap-
pear at the trial, but yesterday put in an
appearance at the parsonage to remove
his goods and clothes, which he had left
in his hurried departure.
Two ladies arrived here yesterday and
registered as Mrs. J. d. Wood and sis
ter, Belvidere, n. J. They sought an
attorneys office Immediately and soon
thereafter there was an order of arrest
issued for Rev. Wood for bigamy,
upon complaint of Mrs. Wood No.
l, who alleges that on Deem
Der %, 1888, she was married
to John D. Wood at Pillipsburg, N. j.,
where ne was attending Drew seminary
preparatory to becoming minister, and
that he within a few months deserted
her. Wood doubtless knew that his New
Jersey wife was seeking him, for
he came into the city by a round
about way and boarded a train
for Buffalo. a mile out OF town po-
liceman was watching, and stopped: the
train and captured the reverend gentle
man. When taken before the justice he
pleaded not guilty, and was placed in
charge of an officer, who will guard him
until Monday, when he will be examined
in court.
His first wife was Miss Alice GulIice of
Belvidere, N. J., member of a family
of wealth, prominence and high
social standing. She keenly feels the
position which she is placed in, while
Wood shows no emotion. He made fran
tic efforts to prevent the facts from ap-
pesring in print, but failed.

on the completed files.'' A subse-
quent order directing that the claims
should be placed on the file upon applica-
ton accompanied by a statement of facts
showing that the claims were completed
has up to date added %, $50 cases to those
already on the completed files. - Dur
ing the past three months 50 ,229 of these
cases have been acted on, leaving only
1878 cases remaining on the files. Appli-
cations at the rate of $50 a day are
being received, and hereafter every
claim placed on these files will be taken
up and acted upon within a week. The
record Of the past month shows that
16 ,374 pension certificates, 1888 Of them
original cases, were issued, being the

Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, April 6.-Popular feeling
over the Crewe murder case runs very
high 1and there is no other subject so
much talked about. It is generally be-
lieVed that the elder of the two Davies
brothers will be hanged on Tuesday, de-
spite the enormous size of a petition
which has been forwarded to the
queen at Alx-Les- Bains for reprieve.
The action of Home Secretary Matthews,
IN reprieving the younger brother, has
not satisfied the public mind, nor could
it be expected to do so, since the broth
ers we're equally guilty, if guilty at all.
The fact that IN attacking their
brutal father they were ac-
tuated by determination
to protect their mother is circumstance
which arouses public sympathy on their
behalf, and leads many people to openly
deny that they are guilty of any crime ct
all. AS Home Secretary Matthews is
absent the queen may possibly grant
reprieve temporarily until she can con-
suit him personally in regard to the
case. 1t is felt that it would be good
policy on part of the government to yield
to public sentiment in this matter.
