MELBOURNE, May 3.-After Deeming
was conveyed, last night, from the court
room III which the sentence of death had
just been passed upon him, and returned
TO jail, his clothing was taken from him
and he was compelled to don the attire of
convicts. He was then placed in the con-
demned cell and heavy irons were locked
upon his wrists, to prevent him from
committing suicide. There is scarcely a
doubt that he would kill himself if the
opportunity offered. A close watch will
be kept upon him to see that he does not
cheat the gallowS. He did not appear at
all cast down by his fate, and after a short
conversation with the wardens detailed
to watch him, threw himself upon the
pallet in the cell and slept calmly until
morning.
Much interest is manifested in the
biography Deeming is writing, upon
which he has spent much of his time
since he was imprisoned. 1t IS believed
the mans overweening vanity will COM
pei him to confess in this work all the
crimes he ever committed.
By appealing to the Judicial Commit
tee of the PTivy Council Deeming may
succeed in putting Off the execution for a
time, but his haste to complete his book
shows that he has little, if any, hope of
escaping hanging. Early this morning
he resumed the writing of his biography,
which, he says, he will bequeath to Miss
RounseVell, the young lady to whom be
was engaged at the time of his arrest

which she may derive from its publica-

Specimens of Irish Wit.

Irish wit is often Of the most mordant
and even sardonic kind. Was there ever
more Sardonic stroke of description than
that OConneu gave of PEEPS blood
leSsneSs? His smile was like the silver
plate on a coffin.'' Less scathing, but less
witty also, was his description of lady
of similarly repellant temperament:
"She had all the characteristics of poker
except its occasional warmth"
The late Hugh Stowell Brown, the pop
ular NoncOmtormist preacher, once over
heard an old Irishwoman in Liverpo0l
mutter furiously, as funeral, to which
she ought to have been asked, passed her
door: "Oh go an wild ye! Go an wild We,
Go an wild ye! But maybe there'll be a

and to this end he would read out to
jerry from the newspapers every story
OF crime or of trouble traceable to drink

Doliard's Partial Assessment Under Fire
Steamship Protests.
The meeting of the Board of Equaliza-
ton of Taxes yesterday was unusually
tame. The proceedings were begun by
r. J. Corris, agent of the Hamburg,
American Packet Company. who reviewed
the complaint presented to the Board
Monday, which charged that the company
had been assessed at a higher rate than
its neighbors in Hoboken. Johu H.
Hunter complained to the Board that his
saloon on Second street, Harrison, had
been assessed 500 for personal property,
which he protested was too much. His
complaint vas referred to the assessor of
that district.
Frederick Oltmanns, of Harrison
avenue, Harrison, insisted that a valua-
ton of 81. 500 was too much for his prop
erty. 4. Harlkon, who owns two houses
at Nos. 81 and 90 Madison street, Hobo
ken, complained bitterly about the injus-
tice he suffered. His two story house was
assessed for 81, 100, and last year it was
taxed for 500. His four story house was
assessed for s., 900, which he Said tearfully
was too high. He admitted that the
house and lot cost him Sc, 300 and that he
was only assessed for apout 4S per cent.
of tile value, but insisted that a reduc-
ton should be made. The case was re-
ferred to Assessor Dollard, who will be
fortunate IL the Commissioners do not
reprimand him severely for not having
placed a higher valuation on the
property.
Assessor Bruce asked for some instruc-
tions concerning the assessment of Grove
Church property in North Bergen. He
was directed to assess all hat was not
strictly used for church and school pur-
poses. The Board will meet again today.
