FRANK ALmY HANGED.

The Execution Was . Bunghng Af- fair-His Feet Touched the Floor,
 Hut an Autopsy Revealed That His
 Neck Was Broken.
 CONCORD, N H., May 16.-Frank O..
 Amy, or George H. Abbott, was hanged in
 the jail yard here at 10:14 o'clock this
 morning for the murder of Christie War
 den at Hanover, N. H., in July, 1891.
 The execution was @ bungling affair.
 Almy's feet touched the floor when he
 went through the drop, and he was appar- ently strangled to death. A minute after he fell the officers on the platform of the scaffold pulled the body up several feet. The rope had pulled over the left ear while the knot was fully one foot above the neck.
 Messrs. Norris, Ray, Blunt and Moulton of the executive council went to the prison at 8 o'clock to determine that everything was in readiness. Spectators were admit ted at 9:45 o'clock, and the door closed when they had been assigned to their places. Among them were 8 large num- Der of residents of Hanover, including Burt Warden, brother of the murdered girl.
 The physicians later issued @ statement that the post mortem examination showed that death came instantly with the drop by reason of dislocstion and fracture of the spine at the second and third cervical vertebra.
 Sheriff Hurlburt said this afternoon: "1 an perfectly satisfied with the execution. It went off in good shape, and I cannot see how it could have been better. Everyone seems to agree with me, and have satis- fled myself that the neck was broken di- l reotly the drop was sprung. Death was and painless. I find that on | the left side of the head the jawbone was | literally split and not broken only short | of, but the neck was wrenohsd an inch | and a half out of It's normal position. That convinced me that we could not have | executed the law more humanely or effect 1ally. We could not have done better"
 Almy shot and killed Christie Warden, he daughter of Andrew Warden, a farmer | lying near Hanover, N. Fl. A few days previous to the murder he had ceased to be | employed by MT. Warden ss a farm hand md was supposed to have left the neigh 'orhood. On the night of July F, 1891, when Mrs. Warden, her daughters Jhristie and Fannie and Miss Louise 2. Goodsell were returning home long lonely road Amy confronted them, nd drawing 8 revolver threatened the women if they int,rfered with him. He hen rsized Christie and dragged her to a mall brook some distance from the road. Fannie Warden followed in the hope of iding her sister, but Amy fired several hots at her and then shot Christie dead. ie fled, and for month remained con- ealed in MT. Wsrden's barn. Suspicion Vas finally aroused, the barn was sur ounded, and after siege of ten hours, turing which Almy was shot in the leg, | e surrendered. He was identified as ieorge H. Abbott, an escaped convict who ad served nearly ten years in prison.

AFTER SUNDAY sKLLEax.

| The Police Commissioners Take Ae | lion on the Communications FroE the Sunday Observance Associatfor No Action Taken on the Hooper Pensfon Matter.
 The special business before the board oi police commissioners last evening was tho
 consideration of the statements made by
 the committee of the Sunday Observance
 association, at the last meeting in refer
 enoe to the fragrant violation of the Sun-
 day liquor law.
 Shortly after the meeting had been called
 to order the clerk read the
 from the Sunday Observance association,
 which have been printed in full In the
 CouRIKR. The trend of these communica-
 lions was to the effect that there were an increased number of violations of the liquor law on Sundays in the city and few CT prosecutions than in former years.
 Superintendent Smith was called In snd listened to the communications. It was brought out that at present the police de- pertinent were sending out siI men In citi- gems clothes on Sundays for the purpose of ucLtCLluR Auctcaa ol Clk1lt kt and the reason for the number being cut down from eight to sir was in of the lack of funds to carry on the work ss it had been done in years past.
 After prolonged discussion the super intendent was instructed to put a notice in each of the four police stations to the ef- feet that hereafter all officers on duty Sun day would be required to make @ report as to the condition in which they found the several saloons on their beats as well as other places where liquor was reputed to be sold. These reports will be made to the captains and by them to the superin- tendent of police. It was also intimsted that hereafter the neglect of any officer to report violation of the law would be the board of commissioners and that esch officer would be held strictly accountable for any failure to report any violation on his beat.
 The Hooper pension matter went over until some future time when full attend ance of the board can be had. In an in- formal discussion of the question last evening Commissioner Andrew took the | ground that the board had no legal right | to pay Mrs. Hooper the pension and want | ed the entire testimony, etc, in the case | referred to the corporation counsel for hia | opinion. Commissioners Plstt, Hum and | Prince opposed any such reference on the | ground that the board was competent 10 | decide in the matter, and the question was finally disposed of, owing to the absence | pf Commissioner Clancy, by postponing | both discussion and action until all the | of the board were present.
 Sergeant Orr was allowed twenty-two | isys' pay for lest time fn conseouepce of injuries received while in the discharge of his duty, and Officer Doolittle was re- stored to grade A from grade B, after | Hhinh tha hoard aainrrnsd

There is a nutritiye element

There is a nutritive element in ale and beer, but it is small, there is the intoxicating eff. feet, too. That is a strong ob- jection. Yet ale and beer are used and benefit health at times. There is another liquid, the active principle of malt Johann Hoff's Malt Extract. One dozen bottles of it has the same nutritive effect as a large cask of ale or beer. That's an advantage-another, it has not the intoxicating effect of either. It helps digest and as- simulate food, creates appetite, makes the weak strong and healthy. Be sure to obtain the GENUINE.

A storv of millionaire Lick.

James Lick, of San Francisco, was an
unlovable millionaire, of whom curious
story is told. When a poor youth in
Pennsylvania he was rejected by the
daughter of a wealthy miller on account
of his poverty. He vowed at that time
that he would some day build a mill
that would far surpass that of his sweet
hearts father. Many years later he
kept his vow and constructed at San
Jose a mill of highly polished California
wood valued at 100000. During his
lifetime Mr.. Lick had few friends and
apparently cared for none. He lived
plainly and was seen very little In pub
lie. The larger part of his fortune was
left to charities and public institutions,
one notable bequest being the sum OF
$50 900 for the erection Of statue to
Kew, the author of the ''Star Spangled
Banner"
While many institutions profted by
Mr.. Lick's posthumous gifts. his most
famous achievement was the establish
ment of the Lick observatory on Mount
Hamilton, under the management of thu
University of California. Mr.. hcki
body was placed in 1887 under the bas'
of the pier sustaining the great telescope
