6oneash's Murderers Sentence

special to The News.
OpANAH, Wis, Aug. 25.-This
was the day set by Judge Bum, of
the United States court, for the
hanging of Kcsine and Moneypenny,
the Chippewa Indian murderers Of
o!d Boneash and his young squaw.
The case presented peculiar CON
pllcation, and was the Fl st of the
kind that has ever occurred in this
state. Capital punishment was
abolished some years ago by the
state Legislature, and it was only
the communication to life imprison
ment granted by President Cleve
land that averted the anomalous
spectacle of two men being hung in
state where capital punishment
vas dead letter. A large number
of petitions were circulated IN be-
half of the condemned men immedi.
ately after their conviction, and
several delegations went to
Washington to intercede with the
president in their behalf, and the
clemenoy which was finally extend
ed was the result net only Of the
Wisconsin statute, but also of the
fact that the banging of the Indians
would have been likely to create a
serious disturbance on the reserva
tion. Moneypennyi is a grandson of
United States Commissioner Colonel
Moneypenny, who was stationed at
Ashland in 1850
Col. Moneypsnny fell in love
with a Chippewa maiden, and her
daughter is The mother of the
Moneypenny just sentenced. Three
years ago None ypenny stabbed his
brother in the heart, and when On
trial at Ashland, graphically enact
ed with knife the scene at the
killing. His acquinal on plea of
self defense followed. A year
ago Moneypenny entered the house
of Headtiyt and shot him,
for which he served six months in
jail. His last crime was commit
ted in conjunction with his uncle,
Kosine, who was a rival for the
hand of the maiden who finally be
came the bride of Boneash. Ko
sine thirsted for vengeance, and.
with the aid of his nephew, Money
penny, entered the cabin of Boneast
and stabbed him and his bride to
death.

Debate on Home Rule to Close

Special to the News.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-In accord
ance with the action of parliament
on Monday last, it is probable that
Mr.. Gladstone will move the adop.
ton of a resolution to apply the
closure to the report stage of the
home rule bill on Friday next. The
conservatives and the unionists,
headed by Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain, will make boisterous oppo.
sition to such action on the ground
that it would degrade the house of
commons into mere voting ma
chine, and would deprive the British
majority of their constitutional
rights. Their appeals, however,
will be unavailing, as much valuable
time has already been lost in use
less argument, and many measures
of pressing importance to other
parts of the united kingdom are
being necessarily held in allegiance
until the home rule bill is out OF
the way. The disestablishment OF
the Welsh church is being eagerly
demanded by the members from
Wales, and it is probable that Mr.
Gladstone will be as successful il
abolishing the established church

Captain Jack Williams is becoming
very popular as an instructor at the
Swimming Baths, and the ladies are

OF him. The little ones also have learned
to have confidence in him, and do with

to do.
The baths begin to look like they used
to when they had ladies day" num-
Der OF ladies' coming in the morning to
take their lessons. yesterday most of
the members of the ladies' annex 10 the
Bicycle Club were up there bright and
early and enjoyed themselves hugely.
There is every reason why the young
ladies OF the city, and the older ones as
well, should learn to swim. In no city
was there ever finer opportunity Of
Tered. The water is of the clearesJ and
the purest, being constantly changed.
NO bathing establishment on the coast is
better managed or more cleanly, and care
is taken TO exclude improper characters,
SO tnat parents may feel safe about their
cnlIdren who attend there. Captain Will
lans gives his personal attention to the
tank to see that every one is safe, and so
do the employees.
Swimming, therefore. ought to become
as popular as any other athletic and
healthlul amusement, to say nothing OF
