GOD HAVE MERCY"
The Last Words Spoken by a Canuck wife
Murderer on the Scaffold.

The Last Words Spoken by Canuck Wife
Murderer on the Scaffold.
LONDON, Ont, June 10.-Henry Smith,
who murdered his wife on Feb. 18 last,
was hanged at S:13 Friday morning.
Promptly at o'clock Smith was con-
Quoted from his cell to the scaffold, sup
ported by four sheriff's deputies A
short prayer was said by one of the at
tending ministers, during which the
executioner adjusted the black cap, and
at S:13 the rope was cut and Smith
launched into eternity. There were but
twenty within the court yard.
On the way to the gallows the con-
demned man appeared weak and
trembled, but his face wore a calm ex-
preston. AS the hangman adjusted the
moose before putting on the black cap,
the poor fellow groaned and shook and
had to be supported by the guards.
God have mercy" where his last
words. The drop fell at $3.50, and it
was eleven minutes before the Jail
surgeon announced that his heart had
ceased to beat, Death resulted from
his neck being broken.
Smith murdered his wife in a drunk
en- frenzy. The evidence on which he
was condemned to death, however, was
purely circEmstlntial. A confession
made to his spiritual adviser by the
prisoner was read, in which he acknowl-
edge having killed his wife, and hoped
his fate would be warning to all who
were addicted to drink.

HAD HIS EYE ON IT
John Bulls Scheme to GObble
Lower California.
The Plan Was to Drive Out All
American Settlers,

COlOniZe the Peninsula With British Sub
JeCts and Then Establish British Pro-
tectOrate Over the Countrywide En-
glishmen May Be Given the Razzle-
Dazzle in Consequence.
New YORK, June 16.-A Herald, spe-
cial from Ensenada, Lower California,
says the English corporation known as
the Mexican Land and Colonization
company has adopted and put in force
a policy with the object Of driving
every American settler out of Lower
California. The company's idea is to
colonize the peninsula with English
men, and establish a British protecto-
rate over the country.
On July II, 1889, decree was issued
by the Mexican government containing
list of articles that should be admitted
free of duty into Lower California, for
the use of the colonists. To prove that
one was colonist, it is necessary to
secure certificate from the Mexican
consul at San Diego. This certificate is
forwarded to Ensenada, where the in
spector of colonies keeps a register of
"colOnists." The policy of the English
company has been to use its influence to
keep the names of Americans from being
included in this list.
Its efforts in this direction has been so
successful that the Americans were
forced to organize what is now known as
the American Colonists Protective asso-
citation. This association is now in a
healthy condition, and is engaged in cir
culating a memorial which is being lib
orally signed by residents, and which
will be presented to President Diaz
through Gen. Torres.
The general asks that President Diaz
revoke the grant made to the English
company on the ground, among other
things, that it has failed to comply with
its agreement made with the colonists;
also that they are convinced that the
English have well-matured plans to in
volve the American colonists in fill
clustering scheme for the purpose of Gre
ating a strong prejudice against Ameri-
cans on the part of the Mexican govern
ment and people. with a view of secur-
ing the full confidence of the Mexican
government and 9nally controlling the
peninsula, therJby gaining strong
strategetic poi,f on the Pacific coast for
the British government.

Wants Big Money.

BosToN. June 16.--The Herald has re-
ceived letter from Edward Hanlan
dated Toronto, June 12, saying that the
offer by Manager Thayer, of the Point
of Pines, of a 81 900 purse for race be-
tween Hanlan, Gaudaur and Teemer is
absurd. He will not row unless a s., 900
purse is given. John Teemer telegraphs
The Herald from McKeesport concern
ing Thayer's offer, that he will row for
that money. An intimate friend of
Gaudaur tele graphs from st. Louis that
Gaudaur is on his way here, and will
undoubtedly be willing to row for the
amount offered. The offer holds good
only in case all three men agree to row.

1he WORLDS champion Pugtlist to Star on
the Stage Next Season.
New YORK, June 16.-John L. Sulli-
van will next season become real star
in drama which Duncan B. Harrison
is writing for him. He will have good
many lines to speak, and among other
things he will have to make love to
pretty girl. His drama will be replete
with interesting situations, exciting
climaxes and special features, among
which will be the shoeing of live horse
before real forge in full view of the
audience.
John will assume the role of black
smiths helper, and Harrison will appear
as the "smithy." Both of them fall in
love with sweet, pretty girl, and the
blacksmith is driven almost to frenzy
when he discovers that the girls heart
leans triae towards his handsome as
sistant. He then challenges the favored
one to fistic encouHter, and both agree
that the victor shall marry the fair
damsel who has caused all the trouble.
Duncan B. Harrison is pretty big man
and can box little, but Of course he
will make a poor showing with the big
fellow.

The Report of a Threatened Invasion Into
Mexico from Texas.
CITY OF MEXICO, June 16.-Very little
credence is given here to the numerous
reports of threatened invasions into
Mexican territory from Texas.
One of the names mentioned in con-
nection with these invading schemes is
that of Gen. Ruiz Sandoval, who is now
at Laredo, and who was expelled from
Mexico few months ago on account of
his revolutionary proclivities. Presi-
dent Barillos, Of Guatemala, would be
pleased to capture him as would also
the Colombian government. His life
has been one of constant intrigue, and
if any revolutionary movement is con-
templated, it is safe to say he has
hand in it.

was that the cab did not stop in front
of the convent, there was no justifica-
