rendition. The chorus "Hymn Of Praise.
contained some beautiful passages that
were rendered in pleasing style The
audience, however, grew weary Of the
piece before the last "Hallelujah" was
reached and the members Of the chorus
probably wondered why the applause
was so faint. The contralto solo Sun
set, composed by Dudley Buck, dis
played TO great effect Miss Kate Nc.
Gucldn's deep and rich contralto voice
and storm of applause followed.
The final chorus was ''The Joy of the
Hunter by Weber, and this was the
star selection of the evening. Full of
animation and volume from the start 1t
kept the minds Of the singers bent upon
their work and thus brought out the
true value of the composition. The
concert. financially, was gratifying
success and the entertainment was
praiseworthy from the fact that home
talent was brought out and encouraged.
AS whole the audience was well
pleased with the concert and everybody
who was there will make an effort to at
tend the next Fullmer concert.
A piano solo by Miss Martha Bradheld
was beautifully rendered and the per
former was recalled.

BUT A FEW HOURS BEHIND

The Party in Pursuit of the Mexican
Bandits is Lessening the Distance
Between Them-A Desperate Fight
Anticipated.
CARRIzo, Tex, Dec. 16.-The state
troops, the United States soldiers from
Fort Mcintosh and large posse Of
United States deputy marshals are on
the trail of the bandits who had the
engagements with Mexican troops oppo
site San Ignacio Saturday night. The
trail leads almost directly north, and a
courier who has just arrived says the
soldiers and deputy marshals are but a
few hours behind the fleeing bandits.
1t is generally believed that a desper-
ate resistance will be made by the So
called revslutionists if they are cornered
and their capture attempted. There will
be no quarter given if the CARA men
offer any resistance
The action of the authorities at San
lgnacio in holding as United States
prisoners the Mexican soldiers who were
c. ptured and brought across the river
by the bandits, is severely condemned by
the American residents of this place.
Two thousand Mexican troops are being
rushed to the frontier to protect that
country from further invasion.

JAMES sLAVIN HANGED.
The Cornwall, Ont, Desperate Expi-

Faced Death Unhinchingiy.

The Cornwall, Ont, Desperate Expi-
ates the Murder of Constable Davey.
Faced Death Unhinchingly.
CORNWALL, Ont, Dec. 16.-James Slavin
alias Mcmahon was executed here this
morning at 7.45 for the murder of Con-
stable J. R. Davey. The execution was
witnessed by only the press, the medical
profession and few private citizens.
The doomed mans father paid him his
last visit Wednesday. His unfortunate
son bore up wonderfully well during the
conversation, maintaining the same
marked indifference he has shown since
his incarceration. The conversation be-
tween the two was very brief.
Slavin talked freely during the night
with the guard and carried on in a
boisterous manner. He arose abOnt
$50 and pertook of a light breakfast.
At.735 Hangman Radcliffe entered the
CELL Slavin made no resistance. His
hands were pinioned and at 7.4O the
march to the scaffold was begun
AT 7. 40 the moose was placed over his
head. He said; Good bye, gentlemen. "
The signal was given and the unfortun-
ate mans body bounded from the earth.
Death was instantaneous,
The body was cut down ten minutes
afterward and inferred in the court
house yard in a rough box. Slavin
maintained his wonderful nerve to the
last and refused to see any spiritual ad-
visers
The crime for which Slavin was exc
cuted was the killing of Constable j. r.
Davey, on September last. Slavin was
"a years of age, and was native of this
town, his father being a pensioner of the
British government, having been
through the Crimean and Chinese wars.
Slavin left home in 1885, and worked
on the Sudbury division Of the Canadian
Pacific railroad. He returned to Corn.
wall several times, and one circumstance
which was marked was that he always
carried a loaded revolver
During one of his visits in January
1890. he held up a man named Nc
Cracken and robbed him of his watch
and money. During the next winter lt
was heard at Brandon, Man, where he
tried to commit snicide by shooting him
self in the chest. He returned TO thi:
place for the last time September 3. He
had then degenerated into desperate.
On the night Of his return he became
engaged in a fight with notorious tough
named Black Diamond Roach A young
man named Antoine Lafess attempted tC
separate the combatants aud was shot
by Slavin in the breast. Slavin then flee
and was met by Constable Davey, whC
attempted to arrest him with the assist
ance of a man named Lewis Lefeyre. Th'

Great Miracle That Engineer Striclgland's

ing. Though the cause of his death
is still only conjectural, the fact Is
the engineer continued at his post
and ran his train In Wilmington after
he was dead. The train started out of
Broad Street Station at good speed, with
instructions to the engineer TO make
fast time, as the express was 10 or 20
minutes late. The train went along at
a lively rate till at Chester the engineer
discovered a hot box under his cab. He
told the fireman they would attend TO 10
at Wilmington. From Chester he kept
going faster and faster, stopping for
nothing, running into one block and out
Of another, all the time making
greater speed. The train whirled
on through the draw mort h
Of Wilmington aud into the suburbs,
when the fireman looking up asked the
engineer 20 slacken up, ana found he was
dead standing upright with his hand
still on the bar. IL is supposed he was
struck on the forehead by mail projectors
or something else while looking out of
the cab window with his hand ON the
bar, but was able to regain his upright
position and at the same time gave the
bar pull, which sent the train onward
at full speed. IL was required OF
the train to wait at certain point
for fast freight, but the require.
ment was not complied with. That the
express reached Wilmington safely was
a miracle OF course, when the fireman
found the engineer was dead, he took the
locomotive in hand and brought the ad
venture TO safe conclusion. This his

was on the train, and who took tn,

HAPPINESS AT THE VATICAN

News of the Settlement of Differences Be
tween the Church and the Once Fayorite
Clergyman Received in Rome with JOY.
Surprise and vexation at the Opposition
Encountered by satolli.
ROME, Dec 16.-The statement by
Archbishop Corrigan published in Sep
tember last in regard to settlement Of
the differences between the church and
Rev. Father McGlynn, has received full
confirmation at the Vatican
The news Of the reconciliation has pro.
duced the happiest impression at the
Vatican, where Father McGlynn had
always been favorite prior to his differ
ence with his religious superiors 1t
can be stated on the highest authority
that the pope has given special power to
Monsignor Satolli, his holiness ablegate
in America, to settle the case.
The latest reports received at the Vat
lean from America have caused surprise
and vexation at the opposition that has
commenced against the results of the
conference recently held in New York
and the proposals submitted by Mon
signor Satolli. The pope, Cardinal Rom
polla, papal secretary of state. and Car.
dinal Ledochowski, prefect of the pro
poganda iide, express displeasure at the
course church events are taking in Amer
lea, and his holiness will shortly take
decisive action to bring the decisions tC

two photographs of the unknown girl
who was murdered near Railway, N. j.,
on March %. 1887, and for whose death

and the bruises upon her face are plainly
to be seen. She was by no means pretty,
having course and irregular features.

evidently been a hard working young
