VAIN CRIES FOR MERCY.
FRANK SCHNEIDER IS EXECUTED
For the Wholesale Murder OF Servant Gisis.
The Worlds Fair Subsidy Discussed
I'm Parliament.

VrEvNA, March 17-Frank Schneider. the
murderer of servant girls. was executed here
today.
Schneider was gibbeted after the Austrian
method. lie was entirely broken down as he
WAS led from the cell to the scatfold. AS he
saw the scaffod and the stake and spike from
which he was 10 be hanged rising above 1t his
sallow face turned greenssh hue and he had
almost TO be carried 10 the spot. The stake
had fixed in the top of it spike about SIX
inches long. Schneider shrieked: Have
mercy on me. Ny God will tell all.
The priest who was in attendance upon him
urged him 10 think of heaven. There were
three steps to lift the doomed criminal up 70
the spike. the appearance o. wnich suggested
70 the horror-strlcken thrOng OF onlookers In
the iail yard that the punishment would be
the fearful Oriental penalty known as I'M
palement This impression was 50 strong
that rumor got abroad in the strsets
and was teegraphed through Europe
that Schneider was being impaied. lie
had q much easier death, however. nc
was lifted to the spike and the back OF
his neck held close 10 it, Then cord was
passed around his neck, fastening 1t tightly
10 the spike and he was strangled 10 death
To hasten his end the executioner pressed ms
arms around the mouth and nOstrlS OF TUG
dying criminal. while one assistant held and
pulled Schneider's arms and another pulled
his legs. The wretch died in four minutes.
The body was left suspended to the stake.
The Schneders lived in an obscure place IN
the suburbs of Vienna. They made busi-
ness of decoylng and numbering servant girls
in order 10 Get possession OF the money and
clothing the unfortunates had with them.
The victims were in every instance servant
GIRLS in search of employment, and 1t was oy
promising TO find them situations that the
prisoners succeeded in Turing them TO their
fate
These crimes created quite as much excite
mont in Vienna a. the Jack-the- Ripper mur-
ders did in London. The girls whom
Schneider murdered were never seen after
they went away with him aud his wife uhti
their naked and mutilated bodies we're re-
covered in the woods.
The trial was most dramatic in some or tne
features. Both of the prisoners accused eacn
other, and CHASTITY exhibits, including tne
skull and hair of Rosalie Kleinrath. one OF the
murdered girls, and the torn and bloody
clothing worn by her were produced by the
| prosecution.
They were both found guilty and con-
| demned TO death. The question then arose
as 10 whether the Kaiser, Francis Joseph,
would consent 10 the execution. Both ha-
ser and kaiserin are opposed to capital pun
! ishment The Empress Is said TO have de-
clared that no woman would be executed IN
! Austria while she was kalseriD. hosalle WAS
reprieyed few DAYS ago. leaving her nus
hand 10 face the death penalty alone.

No PREFERENCE.

There seems to be a mistaken idea
with some people about the selection
of the delegates to Minneap-
oils by the Silver City con-
vention, as to which two will
represent the territory in case
only two delegates are allowed seats
BY the National convention. While
1t was not taken up and acted
on officially Ny the Silver City con-
vention, it was mentioned in speech
eJ and tacitly assented to by the
convention, aud was the understand
ing, that if New Mexico was only al
lowed two votes the chairman of the
delegation would announce the vote
of the territory, and that the dele
gates would all be seated in the con-
vention, thus making no hard feel
ing as to which were the two pre-
ferred delegates. As we have elect
ed six it would not be fair now to
give any of them the preference.
But with the likelihood that Presi-
dent Harrison will be renominated
by reclamation, and that there will
be no other candidates presented to
the convention, there is little likelI-
hood but they will all be seated and
New Mexico will get her six dele
gates all seated and each with a
vote
