raxo,tinp scenes at the Execution
of the Four Xerss Anarchists
MADRID, Feb. 12.-lSpscial TO ~
Y. Advertiser, l-Thefour Anarchists
who led the recent attack en- Aeres'
were executed there Wednesday 1t
was at first proposed to execute them
together, but there being only one
erecutioner available it was decided
to garrote them separately.
The:platform was..surrounded by a
rough wooden railing, inside OF which
was a strong detachmenS OF police
and soldiers who had no trouble |"
keeping the crowd back. The house
tons and windows were alsocrowded
Upon the scaffold there were four
wooden partitions, in each OF which
was placed chair, behind which was
q stake.
Attached to each stake there was a
metallic collar, which wasput around
the criminals neck. Behind the col
lar was an iron screw, which was
turned until its point crushed into
the spinal column, causing almost
instant death. The old way OF exc
cutting criminals in Spain was to til
a cord about their necks and thei
twist it with stout piece OF stlcs
until the victim was strangled u
death.
The names of the four Anarchist
were Busqui, Zarzuela, Lehrijano ans
Lamela, the first.named having beef
the leader of the movement Thu
morning, in refusing to leave his Gel
for the scaffold until compelled to d.
90. They were forced, trembling AM
pale, protesting and praying, frs
clustering and then imploring mercy
into their respective partitions, from
which they could see the populace
police and troops, but could not wit
ness the death agonies of their com
panions. Zarzuela was nearly to
drunk to walk when he was force
toward the stake, and kept on shout
ing:
More wine! more wine! am IN
nocent. lam innocsnt. But we WI
not act cowardly. We die for tn
social cause"
Busqui shouted: I'VE are limo
cent. Oh, my mother! my mother!
he struggled desperately to escaT
the stake. 1t required the combine
strength of five men to force him IL
to the death seat, and even then the
had much difficulty in getting hi
neck into the sarrote. The e1ect
toner was two full minutes in turn
inc the screw Of the iron cola
enough to break the nsckbone of Ii
unfortunate Anarchist.
This terrible scene worked the PEI
pie into a state Of rage ard indign'
ton. Men shouted and cursed
the authorities; women wept On
mosned as they buried their heads
their aprons and dresses, and sever
men and women tainted. There va
no attempt made 70 attack the polls
or soldiers. for thetroops have iaugl
tbs Anarchists Of Here's a lessc
which they are not likely to forget.
The other TIVE, Lebrijano az
LaInela, died more quietly, dealt
apparently, being inssantaneoti
from the moment Of the first two {
three turns Of the screw. All Il
executed men were cobblers or boo
makers.
The inhabitants Of many Outlyit
towns and villages closed their lit

Negro Mobs Make Two Attempts to Res
cue n Colored Prisoner.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Aug. 25-An up
rising has occurred in New Smyrna, on the
East Coast Railway Line, news OF which
has just reached here. Last Saturday
Charles Thomas (colored) was arrested
there on warrent for assault with intent to
kill Thomas had some dispute with an
other negro, which ended by Thomas shoot
ing him. He was lodged in Jail, and that after
noon his friends from the camp came into
New Smyrna, all of them armed with re-
volvers and winchester rifles. At about 9
P. NJ the Jail was surrounded by them and
an attempt to break down the door was
made, but few determined white men,
well armed, succeeded in dispensing them.
Sunday it was heard that the mob had all
preparations made to break the Jail open
Sunday night, and the citizens of the town
procured all the double barreled shotguns
and rifles that were available, and after
dark stationed themselves near the Jail.
The negroes came in from the camp about
10 P. NJ. and could be seen in small groups
about town, but they found that the jail was
strongly guarded and decided to leave be-
fore II o'clock. Since then the town has
been In constant terror of the mob's return,
and armed men have patrolled the streets
night and day.

wooden staircase, with high banisters,
worn away by the constant rubbing Of

He ascends. He reaches the landing.

as in Six-four. Is it delusion? In the
dimness he recognizes his room-the yellow
sofa, on the right the old chest of pearwood,
on the left the brass-bound strong box, in
which he intended to deposit his 120 tret-
zers. There is his armchair, with the
leathern cushions; there is his table, with
its twisted legs, and on it, close to the ex-
piring lamp, his pharmacopoeia, open at
page l97.

and canopy; as wide as it is long, shut in by
heavy curtains. Is it possible that this is

the curtains; he opens them; he looks in.

Yes, it is he, who was sent for, and for
whom 120 tretzers have been paid. He
who, from hardness of heart, refused to At

DR.. Trifulgas is like madman, he knows

"Judge Acheson's decision did not sur

of the latter exclusively patronized by

these are rude grills where they may cook
their own food; all are provided with cards
and other games for their amusement; and
with each Is a backyard or shed we'll pro-
tected from the eyes OF the police, where
rat and dog-fghting, of which they are ex-
tremely fond, may be indulgei in, and
where boxing and prize fighting are eagerly
cultivated. On Sunday they will be found
in great numbers at Battersea Fields, Hamp-
stead Heath and Epping Forest; but the

More than q thousand carts, esch contain

legs incased either in the trousers of the
men or the bifurcated garments of the
women. Then with great stores of food and
