CUN;S REVIEW,


NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-R. g. Dun & Co. s.
| weekly review of trade says:
The shipments of more than So 700, 900
! in gold to Europe early this week has
caused some natural apprehension in the
speculative markets. II Is true that gold
is demanded by Austria under such cir
cumstances that an exceptional premium
is paid for it, but neither Austria nor any
/ other country could draw gold from the
United States at present unless there
were heavy sales of American securities
by foreigners. The exports of breadstuffs,
cotton, provisions, cattle and petroleum
tor November amount to S12, 6G9, ,392, in
dicaling aggregate exports ot about S90,-
600 600 per month ana an excess OF mer-
chaudi -e exports over imports of not less
thar $40, ,000 COO. At the same time silver
has been going abroad in large amounts,
1t is clear that unless securities had been
moved this way 10 an unusual amount,
gold could not be taken abroad IN the
settlements of international exchanges.
But the condition of domestic trade is
decidedly healthy, and the approaching
close of the year will find "A larger volume

cRAMPON GUlLLOTlNED.

PARIS, Dec. 1G-Eugene CrampOn, the
murderer Of two men, this morning paid
the penalty for his crimes The canaille
that gathered TO see the execution greatly
enjoyed the spectacle. The Place de La
Roquette, where the execution took place,
was crowded with curious people long be-
fore daylight. Rude iests were banded
about, and the usual scenes that make dis
graceful the carrying out of a death SEN
tence in Paris were enacted
At exactly o'clock the prison doors
swung inward and the procession could lie
seen approaching. CrampOn, who was in
an agony OF fear, was supported by war
dens aud accompanied by IA priest, who
read the services for the dying. The gull
lotine loomed directly ahead of the party,
only few steps from the prison. When
Crampon saw il lie uttered "A terrible
shriek, threw himself backwards, and fell
TO the ground. All efforts TO induce him
TO rise were fruitless, and he groveled on
the fiagstoues, begging most pi5eously for
his life. To persons of any sen~ibiiity the
scene was one of the deepest horror, but
the crowd Of roughs and abandoned women
. took the keenest delight in witnessing the
abject fear and listening TO the frantic ap-
pcas of the murderer
II became necessary for the executiouer's
To carry him to the guillotine. Even after
the doomed man was bound TO the plank
be did not cease his struggles His con
tortious were terrible, but they did not
last long. The btScule dropped into place
aud the assistants showed il forward until
Crampon's neck rested III the luuetUe.
Then Monsieur de Paris" attired in the
conventional frock coat and silk hat,
touched the spring holding the knife.
Silently aud like a streak of light the
bright blade fell. and Crampon's head
dropped into the open basket awaiting it.
The execution was the most horrible one
witnessed in Paris for many years. The
crowd was highly pleased with the enter
tsinment the state hid afforded, aud dis
persed laughing aud joking with each
other.
Crampon, with two accomplices, robbed
n house in the rue :. Denis last March
Being surprised. they fled. and being pur-
sued by several men, Crampon turned and
shot TWO OF Juem dead and wounded three
more.

fused by an overwhelming vote to take

report were approved, and the COMMITTEES
recommended au appeal for the establish
ment of a national Labor Day in the states
and territories
4 resolution which related to the action
of the president aud executive council in
requesting conference with the Knights
of Labor stirred up lively debate. The
many attacks OF the Knights of Labor

the local shoemakers, were depiored. 1t
was said that all efforts o heal the breach
while they were on the attack aud the fed
Grafton on the defensive would only be a
waste OF time. The committee recon-
mended that the highest duty of the fed
Grafton was to defend the unions selected
by the Knights of Labor for attack ana
that the executive committee take such
action rs will enforce this idea. The rec
ommendation of the committee was
finally adopted.
The special committee on militia in
strikes reported, saying:
Unless a halt is called it will not be
long until liberty gives way to despotism,
since the recent uses to which the troops
have been subjected have been brought
about by tile people allowing unchallenged
the Surrender of their power. We there
fore believe that herein is Il vital point of
our grievance"
Several other recommendations were
made, but, after considerable discussion,
they were stricken out and clause adopt
ed instead favoring the support of labor
