"A Remarkable French Criminal About
to Meet His Deserts.
NANCY, May 23.-Meunier, the ex officer OF
customs who was arrested May Ia at Landres
charged with number of crimes, was TODAY
sentenced to death. Meunier is widower,
with two sons. He courted Mile. Jactel. a
wealthy young lady, who rejected him because
he was poor. Meunier then engaged in a
series of robberies, and eventually murdered
priest and the latter's servant. By
this crime Meunier appears 10 have
obtained possession of some money for he re-
newed his suit, but was unable to soften the
heart of Mile. Jactel's mother, who objected,
to Meunier's children. This so incensed,
Meunier that he set fire to the Jacte residence
and its occupants narrowly escaped with their
lives. The ex-customs officer, curious to re-
cord had not been detected in any of these
crimes and again renewed his suit After
another interview with Mile Jacte!, who then
appears to have been willing to marry
him, Meunier smothered his eldest boy ana
later on shot and seriously wounded the
brother OF the young lady he professed to
love. Mile. Jactel's brother had earned
Meunier's hatred by forbidding the proposed
marriage. Meunier, when arrested, confessed
to all but the murder Of the priest aud the
latter's servant

 BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, April S.-P. T. Bar mum, the great snowman, is dead. He passed away at 6:22 o'clock last evening in the presence of his family and inti- mate friends.
 Among the sorrowing group in the room when the end came were Mrs. Bar mum, Rev L. B. Fisher, Mrs. Thompson, his daughter, Mrs. Clarke of New York; Miss May Read, his niece; Mrs. Bushtelle another daughter; Clinton H. Seeley, his grandson and principal heir; Benjamin Fish, Mrs. Barnum's brother; Dr. Hub bard, Mrs. Rikeman, the housekeeper, r, and the nurse.
 Mr. Barnum's illness and confinement to the house began 21 weeks ago and dur ing this period there have been frequent fluctuations in his condition. A few hours before his death Mir. Barnum suf fered a good deal of pain and seemed to realize that he could not live much longer, but he spoke of his approaching end with calmness, and told his physi- clans when all hope was gone he wished GO be gwen SeuaClVeS WnlCn WOulu dllay his pain and make his death as peaceful as possible.
 At 3:30 Mir. Barnum sank into a coma tose condition from which he never ral- lied, and when the end came it was peace full and to all appearances painless. The physicians say that Mir. Barnum had no organic disease whatever, the enfeebled heart action, which has been noticed for the past few months, being due to a grad ual failure of his mental powers, resulting from old age.
 Left Directions for His Funeral.
 Mir. Barnum, in general way, had prescribed-directions for his funeral. He wished it to be of a strictly private char acter. He directed that the interment should be in Mountain Grove Cemetery, where several years ago he erected mass i've granite monument of simple design.
 The funeral will be held in the North Congregational church on Friday, and will be conducted by Rev L. B. Fisher, the Universalist pastor, assisted by Rev. Charles R. Palmer, of the North Congre- gational church.
 An effort will probably be made to in- duce the family to have the obsequies public, but the family, from present indi- cations, will strictly adhere to the wishes of the deceased.

 Considerations entirely person. al lead me to tender to you, as the Gov ernor of the State of Vermont, my resig- nation of the office of Senator of the United States, the resignation to take effect on the 1st day of November, A. D. 1891.
 This action has been for some time in contemplation and is finally decided on and communicated to you at this time in order that there may be ample time to hear and consider the views of the people of our State in respect to the selection of my successor.

JUSTICE SCORED.
A Convict, Tired of Waiting for the Courta
 Surrenders Himself.

TRENTON, N. J., April s-Thomas O. Callahan was recently convicted of man. slaughter and sentenced to three years in the State prison for killing one Matthew Hagan. His counsel took out 8 writ of habeas corpus to the Supreme Court, and pending the hearing of the appeal in June next Callahan was re- leased on $10,000 bail.
 Callahan, without consulting his coun- sel, went to the State prison yesterday and told keeper Patterson that he wished to begin his term of imprisonment as he had little hope of gaining relief by his appeal. The prison keeper refused to re- ceive him, as Callahan had no commit ment papers. He explained to Callahan that it would be necessary for him to de- liver himself up to the sheriff of Mercer County, who would then have him regu- larly committed.
 Callahan was disappointed that his sur render was not accepted. Hagan, the victim was a close friend of the mur- derer, and the crime was committed while Callahan was drunk. His defense was that the shooting was accidental It is expected that the prisoner will be formally committed to-day or tomorrow.

 Invention.

When the, Prince of Wales was stopping mt n hotel in Paris lately he caused the landlord considerable trouble on account of the bed not being what he wanted. The landlord told hls royal highness that there must be a mistake somewhere, and asked the prince for all explanation. The prince promptly replied that he wanted the same room that he had occupied the last time he had stopped at the hotel. lie said he wanted to be saved the annoyance of going to one place for his wardrobe, another place for his writing utensils, still another place for his bureau and some where else for mirror. He wanted them all combined The landlord stroked his beard a second, and then very humbly begged his lordship's pardon and Ut the same time conducted hls distinguished guest into a room where stood Standard Folding Bed, to the supreme delight or the prince aad his friends. They all sang "We Are Jully Good Fellows"
