VANCOUVER, July 11.-Edward D. Gal
lagher, the murderer of Louis Mar, was
hanged this afternoon in the presence of
at least 800 people. At 2:56 Sheriff
Fleming, assisted by deputies, marched
him out of the cell to the gallows. He
walked steadily, but resisted going up.
Arrived up stairs he sat down, and Rev.
Father Schram tried to get him to make
his peace with God. Gallagher said he
was not going to be hanged, and did not
care about eternity. The sheriff told
him he could say few words to the as
sembled multitude. He made a
short stammering speech, saying he
was sorry to appear before them
in that position. An awful struggle
then ensued. Six men tried to pinion
his arms. Gallagher resisted strenu-
ously, but after three minutes he was
secured, his arms fastened and his feet
tied. The sheriff put on the black
cap and asked the condemned man
whether he killed Mar. Gallagher's last
words in answer were: "None of your
business" The trap was then sprung,
the man falling seven feet, and after
eleven minutes life was extinct.
Colored Murderers Hanged.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 11.-This after

AMERICAN BISHOPS.
The italian Propaganda No Longer Dom
ineerIng Them.

ineerIng Them.
ST.. LOUIS, July 11.-A special cable
gram to the Western Watchman brings
the news from Rome that the propa-
ganda has arrested the appointment OF
Bishop Bourke as bishop OF the combined
dioceses of Omaha and Cheyenne. The
Importance of the news arises from the
fact that it is an evidence that the prop
aganda will not sanction Roman ap-
pointment as against the recommends
tion OF the congress of American bishops.
On Bishop O'Connor's death the bishops
OF the province were called together,
and sent three names to Rome from
which to choose his successor. 1t was
generally believed that ,Vicar-General
Philip Brady, of st. Louis, would re-
ceive the appointment. The bishops
will again recommend Brady. This
action is unprecedented on the part OF
American bishops, and, it is thought,
indicates that the time fer the arbitrary
government of American church promo
tions by the Italian propaganda is past.

TIE COUNCIL FOR 1T.
They Think Vote should be Taken
on the street Paving Question.

The TIMES this morning presents to
the City Council on the question OF
street paving. Without exception.
they are in favor of an appropriation
for this purpose. This being the case.
there is hardly doubt but what an
election will be called, and the people
given chance to vote as TO whether
or not the requisite amount should
not be appropriated.
Mr.. George G. McCanhD, councilman
from the Second ward, said: Il AIN
much in favor of an appropriation OF
at least 500, 900 for streets and sou, O0V
for sewerage, or more, il necessary.
and regard such improvements as
absolutely essential in the city now. ;"
Mr.. r. A. Buckner: Il don't like TO
express positive opinion right now
as to the propriety of the city voting
an appropriation for streets and sew
erage, because it is a matter when
deserves some consideration; but. If
the city can afford it, | am hear lily
in favor of expanding it for those pur-
poses"
J. A. McConnell: IL think the very
best thing the city can do is to vote
an appropriation sufficient to provide
something permanent in the way OF
street and sewerage improvements
J. K. Hawthorne: II heartily
endorse the TINES proposition to eX-
pend 100000 for permanent street,
and $4,000 for sewerage improve
ments. regard their provision more
as matter of compulsion than choice
on the part of the people. y
Hon. Fl. s. Trout: Il am in favor OF
expanding 100000 for street improve,
ments and $4,000 for sewerage, and
even more if necessary. The city can
well afford it, and say let rs have
better streets and sewerage ut the
earliest possible date
Mr.. John Sheehan: II think the
matter of appropriating 100000 for
street improvements and $4,000 for
sewerage is of the utmost Importance,
and do not think the same amount OF
money could be expended more wisely.
The street committee, you know,
took step in that direction at the
last meeting of the council and the
ordinance committee was instructedto
prepare an ordinance asking for an
appropriation. The sewers should be
laid first, by all means, so that III the
future these proposed permanent
street improvements will not have 70
