Dcc1rinm Hanged.

Frederick Bailey Dccmins, the wife
murderer and supposed Jack the Rip
per- was hanged at 10 o'clock this
morning at Melbourne, Australia
DccIning passed Sunday in writing,
calmly discussing at intervals his ap-
preaching DOOM He said he had no
intention of making Il speech on the
scafl0ld. Last night he thrice swallow
ed eagerly small allowance OF spirits,
after which he slept soundly until he
was awakened at Z O'Clock this morn
ing. Then for the first time since his
arrest Tie manacles on his wrists were
removed, and, smoking cigar, he con-
verscd with those around him. He de-
clarcd that he was resigned to his fate
and had no fears in regard to the flu
turc. TO the governor of the prison he
said that he had made his peace with
God. He persisted in denying that he
was guilty Of the Rainhill murders. He
had never, he declared, lost his self
control in England rs he had since his
arrival III Australia.
He expressed gratitude to the gov
crnor and all the prison officials for the
consideration they had shown him, and
also to Mr.. Lyle, his counsel, and TO all
concerned in his defense. He said he
thought nc would not talter or make
any scene on the scallold.
A few moments before the time set
for the execution Deeming WAS allowed
glass of brandy, which he swallowed
at a gulp. and he was told that he might
have more if the prison doctor so order
ed. The doomed man was then led to
the gallows and in Il few minutes all
was over. The drop was seven feet.
The execution was witnessed by large
gathering, including government and
civil officials, magistrates, police and
clergymen. There was al immense
crowd outside the prison from an early
hour in the morning until long after the
execution was over. Order was main
tanned by strong force ofpolice When
weighed carly this morning Deeming
turned the scale at l43 pounds, which is
Il pounds less than he weighed when
admitted to the prison.
The execution of this man removes
from Tie WOTltl one VI lHc llloSu HutOil-
Gus criminals of which the world has
record. He was known to have muir
dcred no fewer than seven people and
the number of his victims was likely
double that, as he was believed to be
implicated in the Whitechapel outrages.
Ii was expected up to the moment that
Dccming was sent out of the world that
ne would make an honest confession of
his scores OF misdecds.
After his arrest and incarceration i'll
Melbourne, awaiting trial for murder
ing his wife. more or less evidence was
found tending to connect Dccming with
dozens OF hcinous crimes, including
those of Jack the Ripper, and man
who knew Dccming i'll Halifax came
forward with proof that Dceming, while
there, had written to the Eddowes
woman. one of the Whitechapel vic
tins. The exact truth of the charges
was not and never will be ascertained,
as Dceming was tried, convicted, SEN
fenced and hanged for the killing of
Emily Mather only

The NIcthodist ConGcrencc.

1t is expected that the Methodist
Episcopal General Conference at Oma-
ha will adjourn on Thursday of this
week. Indianapolis and Cleveland are
leading aspirants for the next place of
meeting. 1t is said that the general
vote of ministers and laymcn is in favor
of the admission of women, but the ma
joritics arc not constitutional.
At Saturdays session John J. Tigcrt,
D. D., fraternal messenger of the Meth
odst Episcopal Church South, spoke.
He was greeted with Il great audience.
He called the Methodist Episcopal
Church the big sister, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
and said they loved her greatly,
but did not intimate any wish
to live with the "big sister" under the
old homestead roof He said "Jhe rela-
ton between the churches was of fra
tcrnity, pure and simple-but not SIM
ple-mindcd broad and gcncrous-but
not mere grsh and froth; forgiving and
forgctting-but, nevertheless, truth
telling, and, if it should swear to its
own hurt, changing not. This fratcrn-
ty. our people, enc and all, desire
and long for, above all things"
He said that he believed Paul's epistle
to Philemon justified and defended
slavery, and that its doctrines "can
never be dislodged from the New Tcs-
lament, either BY the vagaries of the
so-callcd higher criticism or by the
false doctrine of a higher law, now, by
some, used to overflow the authority of
Paul on this and other themes ofchurch
doctrine, discipline and government"
He believed the graces Of Christianity
were never so splcndidly developed as
by shareholders in the ministry and
laity of the pre-bellum southern
churches, and that the slave never Jared
the worse for having Il Christian mas
ter, John Brown thought he would
throw spark into powder magazine,
but so great was the integrity of the
slave, his loyalty to his master and his
Willingness to remain as he was,
that the spark fell only into a
black bank Of sand. 'The south
ern white man." he declared, lis
a better friend of the black man than
the northern or western white man.
Providence has indissolubly united the
destinies of the two races in the South.
We know not which most deserves our
congratulations-the southern white
man or the southern black man. We
believe the southern white man to be the
most intelligent and sympathetic friend
the southern black man has ever had
or is likely to have. We believe the
southern black man to be sincerely at
tached to the southern white man and
his interests. A further article of our
creed, to which the majority Of the peo-
pie of the South, both white and black,
will, we think, give the most devout
adherence, is that the highest welfare
of either race is safe in the keeping Of
the other, and that perpetual amity will
resign between them if there is no tam
pering with those fundamental laws of
social order which are the uniform con-
ditions of a stable body polite through
out the civilized world"
