the payment 20 the Pacific railroads for ses-
vices performed for the government.
Mr.. Grain. of Texas. opposed the amend
ment. and declared the action Of the govern
ment in refusing 20 pay the debts when II
Justly contracted would be nothing short OF
repudiatiou.
lIr. Dalsel supported the proposition TO
strike out, addressing his remarks especially
against the Central Pacific Company. and as
serting that that company was not only lnsol-
vent but fraudulently insOlyent
Mr. Kent opposed the amendment lie
said the Union Pacific had performed the same
kind of service rendered 10y the Central Pacific.
Both roads were bankrupt. To pay one road
and not the other WAS fragrant discrimination

Nearly every one Of the one hundred and
three members of the committee have re-

strictly 10 the demands as presented 20 the
company. and stick out 10 the last for the IN
crease in wages. The men say that the gem
eral managers answer gives them about halt
what they asked for, and. IN many instances,
the rules have been changed IN the instances
Of the committee.
General-Superinten Watts, OF the North

WILLIIM VEST HINGED.
The Perpetuator Of n Most Foul Murder Pays
Deaths Penalty.

WASHINGTON, Pa. Feb. 26.-Willam West
(colored) was hanged here at 2.33 this after
noon.
The crime for which he was hanged was one
of the most deliberate and thorough ever
committed IN this section, and everything
against the man has been purely cIrcumstan.
tial, yet convincing. IL was the murder ot
John Couch, wife and son. who lived near
Bentysyille. Washington county.
During last night the condemned negro
made an attempt on his life while the night
watchmen were within short distance OF
him He detached a small piece of iron from
his cot and first attempted 70 swallow II.
Failing in this, he tried 10 stab his throat
His neck was horribly gashed, but physicians
think he Will survive.
When West was being prepared for the exc
cutiOn he rolled about 50 much IN his bed
that 1t was almost impossible 70 clothe HIM.
lie also fought "a best he could when being
strapped 10 the board. ChlorOform was adj
nnlstered. which probably accounts FOR his
daZed appearance on the scahOld.
He was brought ont of jail this morning
and placed on the scaff0ld and the rope adj
usted about his neck. The drop fell at 233

snapped like a cord, and his body fell on the
ground. The spectators, ~ one man. uttered
an awful oh" and the sheriff turned
deathly pale. The deputies fastened 70 pick

minutes the drop was again sprung. lhis time
the body fell only two feet, aud the rope
stretched fully SIX inches. Life, however. was
almost extinct before the secoLd drop. When
West was carried from the cell % the scaho!d

his eyes and said nothing. The coffin had been
previously placed IN the county supennten-
dents office. and when the Jury had passed lts

the execution Basil West vas searched and a
fOrty-four calibre revolver taken from him:
He turned 10 the sheriff and said: Pm glad
you got that gun, for you saved me from com
