SPEEDY RETRIBUTION.
DzEMING PAYS THE PENALTY OF
HIS CRIME
Praying tho Lord to Have Mercy
on His Soul as He Coos to
the GaIlows.

MELBOURNE, May 22.-Deeming was
hanged at one minute past 10 O'Clock
this morning.
On the arrival of the hangman and
the deputy governor at the doomed
mans cell, Deeming was praying fer
vently, repeating again and again:
"Lord, have mercy on my SOUL" He
continued muttering prayers as he was
led to the scaffold. He wore cap
which partially shaded his face from
view.
Afew minutes before the time of the
execution the sheriff went to Deeming's
cell and formally demanded that the
body Of Deeming be delivered to him.
Theprisoner was then led to the scaffold,
aftef being pinioned. He walked firmly,
but appeared to be trembling. On the
scaAelld he shook hands twice with the
sheriff. To the latter's query
whether he had anything to
say Deeming replied family, "Msy
the Lord receive my spirit" The black
cap was then drawn owes hir face and
the prison chaplain read the burial
service, at the conclusion of which the
bolt was drawn and the body dropped.
Death was instantaneous and after the
first momentary swaying of the body no
further movement was noticed. Among
the witnesses of the execution were
number of reporters. The hangman
wore false white beard. There was no
public demonstration outside of the
jail.
MELBOURNE, May22.-Deeming passed
Sunday IN writing, calmly discussing at
intervals his approaching doom. Sun
day night he thrice swallowed eagerly q
small allowance of spirits, after which
he slept soundly until Z o'clock this
Monday morning. Then for the first
time since his arrest, the manacles on
his arms were removed, and while
smoking a cigar, he conversed with
those around him. He declared that he
was resigned to his fate and had no fears
in regard to the future. To the governor
of the prison he said that he had made
his peace with his God. He per-
sisted in denying that he was guilty
OF the Rainhill murders. Never, he
declared, had he lost his self-control in
England, as he had since be arrived in
Australia. He expressed his gratitude
to the governor and all the prison Of
ficials for the consideration they had
shown him. and also to Lyle, his coun-
sci, and to all concerned in his defense.
He said he thought he would not falter
or make any scene on the scaffold. A
few minutes before the time set for his
execution, Deeming was allowed
another glass of brandy, which he
swallowed at a gulp, and he was
told he might have more if the prison
doctor 30 ordered. The doomed man
then was led to the gallows, and in a
few moments all was over. The drop
was seven feet. The execution was wit
messed by a large gathering, including
government and city officials, magis-
trates, police and clergymen. An i'm
mense crowd stood outside the prison
from an early hour in the morning until
long after the execution was over. Or
derr. was maintained by strong force o.
police.

DIR. BRIGGS CASE
Under Consideration by the Presbyterian
General Assembly.

Under Consideration by the Presbyterian
General Assembly.
PORTLAND, Or, May 22.-The presence
of the Presbyterian general assembly
was evident in today's pulpit announce
ments for this city and for a number OF
outlying towns. Churches of all de-
nominations were opened to Presbyterian
preachers, but the most interest was
evident at the First Presbyterian
church, where Moderator Young Off
ciated. The Briggs case is under care
full consideration before judicial COM
mittee, of which DR.. Smith of Buffalo is
chairman. The questions to be decided
by the committee relate entirely to the
legal aspect of the case, not to it's merits
at all. These cannot be entered upon
at the present stage of the proceedings.
The primary question is whether the
appeal of the prosecuting committee can
be admitted.

WASHINGTON, May %. Frederick
Bancroft addressed letter to Secretary
Blaine in answer to the statement made
by the secretary in recent letter to the
President, recommending the with
drawal of Bancroft's nomination as
United States consul to Brunswick, Ger
many. Bancroft says it is remarkable
fact that Blaine now assigns entirely
different reasons for his (Bancroft's) re-
moval from those he gave when interro-
gated upon the subject. Bancroft says:
ut was we'll known in the department
that it was not until after you resolved
upon my removal and commissioned
my successor that you began seek
ing a justification for your action,
which might also serve perhaps as
reply to the resolutions of the
house. Before entering direct reply
to your statements permit me to remind
you of the important fact that you ne
elected to consult the officer who alone
has an intimate aud personal knowledge
of the work of my bureau. l quietly
sought simple justice from the depart
ment, and too keenly appreciate the diff
ference between your power and mine
to make any threat. You denied my
request that should not be removed
without an opportunity to meet the
charges; you endeavored to induce me
quietly to accept the consulship.

could not be 5ribed into silence by your
OFFER"
Bancroft, after explaining the cause
of the removal of two library officials,
declines to enter into "a controversy as
to the alleged quarrel between himself
and Lake, third assistant secretary of
state, as the latter has now left the Of
fee. Bancroft further says: "Librsri-
ans OF experience will smile at your
complaint that am not qualified for
the place unless am practical printer.
You will bear me out in the statement
that the department never employed
professional proof-readers, but that the
proof-reading was performed by myself
and assistants. 1t Is amazing that it
should have taken you three years to
discover my inefiiciency. But perhaps
you will find the explanation for this
in the fact that it has only recently be-
come necessary for you to make a per-
manent place for your protege in. your
department. and where, according to
your own declaration, incompetency
may flourish and the lack of ability and
merit are not causes for immediate re.

facts, can it be expected that civil SER

PORTLAND, May 22.-The Oregonian's g
Chehalis Washington special says: A
fire started this morning on the upper
floor of vacant building on Main
street belonging to Gregg
and it was not quenched
until four blocks of wooden buildings
had been destroyed, entaiiing loss OF
Sill, $50, insurance $34,65O. For several
weeks past the building in which the
fire started had been the resort for
tramps and loafers. The fire

made a magnificent effort to save the
adjacent buildings, but with the miser-
able facilities at hand they were com.
PEELED to become powerless spectators
to the destruction of the property. A

LIKE A CHARM,
That's the way santa Fe's New
water supply Make-shift is
Now Working.
The Purest and Best of Water-A Tenn
porary Golfer DANA New
Aerating Process.

The water company's temporary ar
rangement for improving Santa Fe water
supply works like a charm. Citizens
who have complained for several days
passed of lack of water were agreeably sur
prised this morning in finding their ser,
vice pipes full, and Of quality, too, that
set good many people to inquiring mi
nutely into the methods taken by Supt.
Harroun to improve the service.
A trip to the reservoir reveals what has
been done at glance. Across the mouth
of the Rio Santa Fe, where the stream
runs over its gravely bed just before reach
ing the reservoir, temporary cotfer-dam
four feet high and seventy feet long has
been stretched, and this debars any OF the
water from entering the reservoir. AT
the side of this Golfer dam is an outlet
through which the accommodating precious
fluid, fresh from the mountain tops,
passes through ditch that crles about
half way round the edge OF the reservoir,
probably five feet above the bed OF same.
At the end of this ditch the water enters
dume and theme runs 200 teet, empty
ing directly into the main supply pipe
connecting with the city service mains.
The quantity thus converted direct from
the gravely bed of the mountain
stream to the city pipes amounts to about
tEree-quarter supply, Which, II cltlzens
will do their duty and cease all irrigation,
using the utmost economyfor domestic
purposes, will serve TO avert the impend'
| ing water famine. The supply in the
pipes will be much more generous in the
| forenoon than in the afternoon; the &C
cnmuiaion Of water over night will suthct
to keep the ten inch mains iull up to mlo
day, but after that and up to III O'Clock o
night there will he only enough water Il
meet one-haf the capacity OF the ten incl
mains.
The fact that the water does not remain
in the reservoir but comes to consumer
fresh from bed of gravel and alter
fifteen mile rush over the ROCKS OF tn
canon, serves to greatly improve its quail
ity. Citizens will be glad to know, il
this connection, that hencetorth no stag
nant water will be served to them, tn
plans for the new reservoir calling for
Unique system of aeration before tn
water enters the pipes. This is an in
genius idea of Consulting Engineer How
ellis, who has experimental with it il
several eastern towns where reservoi
water becomes much more quickly pollne
than in this dry, pure atmosphere. En-
gineer Howells' plan is to place hug
fountain in the new reservoir and shoe
the water fifty feet into the air, thorough
aerating it, and thus having the Shove
fall into huge basin, the outlet of whic
is the city supply mains.
