LOUISVILLE, KY. Dec. 9.-Louisville
had its first quadruple hanging this
morning in the county Jail yard. The
murderers who paid the laws penalty
are Dennis Mccartney, for the killing
of his wife Grant Thomas, for the
murder of Birdie Coleman, coiored
Nelson Lewis, for the murder of George
Dean, colored, and Stephen liite Tor
the killing of Albert Dauman. AT ";4o
o'clock the four condemned men enter
ed the ward of the jail. Up the steps OF
the scaffold they marched, Hite leading
All but Thomas stood with bowed
heads. He looked about at the crowd
and bowed to men he knew in the
crowd and at the windows ofthe jail.
The deputies arranged the nooses ana
pinioned the men. The priests talked
continually to Hite and Mccartney and
the colored ministers spoke occasionally
to Thomas and Lewis. AT 7.49 O'Clock
the cap was adjusted over McCartneys
head and then quickly over the others
No one spoke. All stood firm. Nc
Cartney yawned as the moose was ad-
iusted. At 7.54 the drop fell. Hite
struggled from the first. Themes drew
up his legs and McCartney's hands
moved. Lewis hung limp; his neck
had been broken by the drop. The
struggles of the others soon grew less
and at S.O94 o'clock all four were pro-
nounced dead. Neither of the con-
demned men made any statement on
the scalIold.

Naval Cadet Fred X. Perkins, of California,
was pcppcrbox whilst in lhe Annapolis Aca-
deny. and kept himself in constant trouble.
In departing he has left a legacy of evil to
thirteen of his admirers. lie was member
of the second class and for a sharp insult to
the superintendent lie was placed Ill his room,
with orders not to leave. lie left it. was
caught and dismissed on Monday. On Tues
day morning after breakfast, between T:3O
and s o'clock, he returned to the academy.
and. By Encouragement, settled IN old
score with Il fourth classman, supposed to be
John ]. Bryant, of Illinois.
1t appears that the offending fourth class
man. in a dispute with Cadet Perkins. called
him liar while he was in the academy. This
fight was to wipe out the stain on his honor,
and the fourth classman was willing to give
him satisfaction. The ring was formed in an
eut-of-thc-way spot between the armory and
the bakery, adjacent to the grounds where
the cadets play from 1:3O to the first call
to the students at eight. None OF the officers
suspected the affair until it was all over.
Perkins is noted rs first-class boxer, but the
fourth classman stood UP TO HIM so well as
not TO show a sign OF punishment after the
affair was over.
When the duel was finished, thirteen Of
Naval Cadets Perkins admirers and class
mates escorted him to the gate of the academy
and cheered him. Facts Of the fight leaked
out, and last night at the supper formation
thirteen cadets were read ont and afterwards
marched OFT to the Santee for sixty days, and
were given fifty dement's each, two hundred
and fifty being the limit.

4 Curious CnSc.

A curious case is that of John F.
Swineburn, a young Englishman, who
recently resided in Chesterfield county,
Va, who is said to have mysteriously
gotten rid of thousands of dollars sent
him from England by his mother. The
young man in question came to Ameri-
ca in response to an advertisement of a
concern in Montreal offering to secure
positions for young Englishmen who
were DESTROYS of learning the American
method of farming.
Arriving in Montreal young Swine
burn was sent to Covington, Va, where
for time, he says. instead of being in
siructed in farming, his life was one of
drudgery. 1t is alleged that he there
fell in with q man from Richmond, a
representative of an excellent family,
who induced young Swineburn to 60
with him TO Centralia, in Chesterfield
county. There they engaged poultry
raising.
Swineburn wrote often to his mother,
wealthy English lady, telling her of
his prospects and always asking for
money to enable him to give his bust
ness a good start. 1t is said that she
sent him thousands of dollars at Il time.
Not only did the money disappear as
fast as it was received, but Swincburn's
health began to fail him. Friends took
an interest in his case and about a week
ago he was started to his old home in
England. Previous to his leaving this
section it is stated that his condition
was such for two months that food
would not remain on his stomach.
Mr.. c. B. Richardson, the druggist at
Chester, accompanied Swinebun to
New York to sec him safely oil. Mr.
Richardson had suspected that the
young man had been duped and rob-
bed, and in New York Swineburn made
sensational disclosures in an affidavit.
which was witnessed by three of the
leading members Of the Young Mems
Christian Association of that city. This
affidavit is now in Mr.. Richardson's
possess on. In it the young man states
that his life at Centralia was clouded in
mystery He remembered very little
that occurred while there. To the best
of his knowledge he was kept systemat-
ically drunk and where his money
went he did not know Before leaving
for England Mr.. Swineburn gave Mr..
Richardson power of attorney in his af-
fairs and the Chester druggist intends
10 probe the matter to the bottom.
Thus far no evidence has been obta ned,
however, impliclting any one.

Or INTEREST TO OY5TERMEN.-Judg
Hughes has decided three cases in the
L. S. District Court at Norfolk which
involve an important question. The
cases were S. Fielder Hastings, of
Crislield, against schooner Elexena J..
Thomas Gibbons, of Baltimore city,
against schooner Alice J. Venable j..
Thomas Gibbons against schooner Sam
uel T. White. The libelants had ac-
quired maritime liens against the YES
sells for repairing sails, and afterward
the vessels were arrested and sold III
Virginia under the Virginia oyster law,
which authorizes arrest and confscation
of the vessels and Intentionally ex-
Guided all rights of innocent creditors
in the vessels sold. In his opinion,
Judge Hughes states that "a maritime
lien cannot be Invested by any proceed
ing in civil action in common law
court" Various amounts were allowed
to the lienors. The practical result OF
the decision is that a State cannot sell
the interest of persons holding maritime
liens in vessels engaged in violating the
oyster laws unless they are on board at
the time of arrest or otherwise partici-
pating in the unlawful act. Thomas S.
Hobson, of Baltimore, was counsel for
the libellants and Acknowledgement
Scott. Robert J.. Montague, of Rich
mond, and Heath and Harmonson, of
Norfolk, for the defendants.

The ,lonetarr Conference.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 9.-The bi-metallist
delegates to the international none
tary conference are discussing whether
or not they shall unite in signing a
memorandum on the obstruction offer
ed by Great Britain to determination
of the the questions before the confer
ence. 1t has been made clear that the
British government has purposely
avoided giving any instructions tend
ing to the common action of its dele
gates upon any point whatever. 1t is
now obvious that this course was de-
signed to foil the conference in coming
to any general or special solution of
the silver question.

COURT OF APPEALS AT RICHMOND.
In the case of Bowles against Brauer ct
ais, in the Court ofAppeals yesterday
Judge Lewis rendered the opinion af-
firming the decision of the Chancery
Court of Richmond.
This was suit to set aside sale and
to cancel n deed made by James B.
Elan. trustee. 1t was stipulated in
the deed of trust that in the event of a
sale the same should be advertised five
days in some Richmond paper. II adj
yertisement was inserted five times, in
Guiding the day of sale, which was
Tuesday, March /, 1891. The question
involved in the case was whether the
sale was sufficiently advertised, as Il
Sunday INTERVIEWED and there was no
publication of the paper on Monday.
The lower court held that the sale was
properly advertised, and the Court of
Appeals concurred.
Judge Lacy delivered the opinion in
the case of f. ]. Bosher and others
against the Richmond and Harrison
burg Land Company and others. This
was suit by certain subscribers to the
stock against the promoters of the Land
Company to cancel their subscriptions
to the stock and to reclaim the money
already paid into the company. The
Circuit Court of Rockingham last April
ordered that the bill be dismissed as
multifarious, and that suits should be
instituted separately. The Court Of
Appeals reversed the decision of the
Circuit Court.

Blessed are the pure i'll heart, for they

Nothing is at once more Instructive and
stimulating than the life OF truly good man.
and so we would do well to look for a little
while on the pure, white and beautiful life Of
Johnston Funstcn. whose death was the
passing of the sweetest soul that ever looked
with human eyes" In the great warfare
against sin, in beholding the beauty Of those
lives that are given to the direct work OF
bringing souls to Christ, we often lose sight Of
another and perhaps equally valuable type OF
discipleship; viz: Those who are chiefly
known and distinguished in the secular world
and yet whose lives are inspired and gov
erned by the same love 10 our blessed Lori
and who go through life not only doing good.
but being good, and thereby rendering meal
culable service to His cause.

Of human care and crime,
With whom the melodies abide
or the everlasting chime;

AMONG THE bills introduced at the
present session of Congress is one by
Mr.. Caruth, of Louisville, TO the effect
that no man, during the time that he
nav be employed in the governments
service and receiving for such service
the pay of an able bodied man, shall
also draw pension. Now there Ger
tainly is nothing unfair or illiberal
about such bill as that, no matter how
warm the pensioners heart may have
beat for his country's cause. War pen
sions are for disabled people, certainly
not for those whom the government
employs as able bodied men, and to
whom it pays able bodied wages.
