THE ROPE BROKE.
A Mishap at a Nebraska MuIderer's
Execution-A Rape Fiend Hanged.

BROKEN Bow, Neb., May 22.-Albert
Havenstein, the murderer of William
Ashley and Hiram Boten, was hanged
at 80 this afternoon. When the trap
was sprung, there was a snap and a
groan and the body fell to the ground.
The rope had broken. Havenstein,
half-conscious, was at once picked up by
the sheriff and deputies and brought
back to the gallows. The rope was re-
arranged and the trap again sprung;
this time his neck was broken, and his
death was apparently painless.

There is no other head of the church

in chancery, S. G. Houghton, has rem

has since increased to over 500, 1000.
The report awards $75 monthly to each

there is due them, including interest.

The president of one Of the leading
gas companies of New York stated at
the last annual meeting of the com
pany that no greater benefnctor to1he
interests of gas companies had ever
been known than the electric light. In
stating that the gas output of New
York was doubling itself now in n
period of six and one-half years in-
stead of ten years, as before, he gave
Il MS his belief that this phenomenal in
crease was due to the fact that the
electric light has educated the human
eve to demand more light, and that
poople are not satisfied with the
volume of light that formerly satisfied
them. Another proof of the Indirect
benefit which may accrue to the gas
industry from the use of electric lights,
adds the Chicago News, is the exien,
to which gas companies all over the
country are installing electric ligh
plants of their own.

their final resting place, but to build up
substances that have similar odors. Rum
ether, the substance to which rum owes
its perfume, whose chemical name Is too
troublesome to give, is regular article
of commerce in Austria. 1t is made by
taking twelve pounds each of sulphuric
acid and black oxide of manganese,
twenty six pounds of alcohol, and ten of
strong acctic acid. These ingredients
are mixed, and twelve piuts distilled from
them.
Butyratc of pure ethyloxide possesses
delicate odor of pineapple, which, by
the addition of wine or potato spirits,
may be altered to that of strawberry and
ras oberry. Nitric ether, fifty grammes;
acetate of amyl and glycerine, 100
grammes each, with one litre of purest
alcohol, will initiate the odor of pears,
and more complicated compounds initiate
the apple, etc.

vision for a comprehensive exhibit of native
and cultivated live fish, with hatcheries,
appliances and equipments for t~ransporta.
tion, models of fish ways in use, etc. Each
state will have its special exhibit. and in
addition to this there will be a large gov
eminent display of shell and sea fish. The
coast states will send especially large dis
plays.
Of all the exhibits to be made by the
United States government the most inter-
esting will be that of the fauna
bielong 3nasnaea TO that this sncb country mt .1h;h i
ton shall be made in Chicago. This ought
to be interesting in consideration merely of
the fact that fishing was the earliest indus
try of the new world, dating from the period
Of the discovery of America by Columbus.
The commission proposes to exhibit alive in
aquaria the principal forms of fishes and
invertebrates OF both oceans, the gulf Of
Mexico, the great lakes, and the inland
rivers, with particular reference to those
which have commercial value.
Not only will marine creatures of all sorts
be shown, but the fnny denizens of the
streams also, and likewise the whitetish, the
catfish. the big pickerel. and the huge stur-
geons OF the interior waters. Such a task
will necessarily be Of great magnitude, in
asmuch as the labor and skill required
TO fetch the fishes in good
over thousands of miles of railway must be
enormous and Of the very highest order. It
has been announced hitherto that such an
exhibition was impossible, but thanks to
modern devices and the discoveries of the
fish commission, no serious difficulties are
anticipated. The marine fishes will be cap
tured of the coast and forwarded alive by
rail, In tanks filled with sea-water, to Chi
csgo. Not only on the Atlantic %sea-board,
but on the Pacific likewise. the vessels of
the commission will devote attention to
this work. They will secure the soaly cap
tives in seines, select such desirable ones as
are caught in the pound nets of the fisher
men and take them in tanks ashore, where
they will be shipped to the exposition. The
tanks utilized for transportation will be of
sufficient size not to crowd the occupants
and provided with a device for circulating
and aeratinR the waters.
The main structure will conta in a full
and complete exhibit of all the va rious ap-
pliances used in the fishing industry in all
countries and in all times. while the special
department of angling will nave the VIII ole
or the west wing for its exhibit. 1t is the
intention of the department Of fish an d
fisheries to make the exhibits of foreign
nations as large as possible, and thus far
there ID every reason to believe that the
highest degree of success in this direction
will be attained.
Captain Joseph w. Collins, chief of the
department, was appointed to that p%osition
on February IL, 1891, having been selected
Tor MS eminent fitness for the work to BIO
performed. He has had wide ex perience in
exposition Matters, and is probably the
best informed man regarding fishery expos-
ltions and their conduct to be found in the
country.
