DR.. anrs Murdtrers Hung.

Four of the eight convicted mur-
derers of DR.. J. Heighe Hill paid
the penalty for their crime in the
iailvard at Chestertown shortly after
noon last Friday. The drop fell at
1921 o'clock and in less than an
hour the four negroes were dead
and buried. The m,n were: Fletcher
Williams, Charles w. Brooks
Moses Brown and Frisby Comegys.
As soon as the drop feel a shout
of exaultation arose from the men
who crowded into the jailyard and
surrounded the scafold. Fletcher
Williams and Moses Brown died
almost without a struggle. Their
necks we're broken, Brooks and
Comegys went through the most
appalling contortions. The latter
died from strangulation and the
formers death was due to the dis
location of his neck. Comegys, the
Youngest of the quartette, was con-
scious for at least five minutes
while hanging. He twisted his legs,
struggled with the handouts and
drew his knees to his neck. Brooks
went through similar movements.
He died hard. His frame swayed
several minutes and when the crowd
Thought him dead he started the
most desperate contOrtions. His
body wriggled with the straps about
him and his determined efforts to
Get the handouts off pleased the
crowd immensely. Fletcher Will
liams dropped five feet and made no
effort to resist the inevitable. Moses
Brown also passed away without
much outward protestation. The
men died in from ten to eighteen
minutes. The heart of Williams
beat for seventeen minutes, although
he acted as though he died first.
The men were examined by Doc
tors W. Frank Hines, j. Horton
Kelly, Charles w. Whaland and
John L. Wethered, the latter Of
philadelphia.

TALKING FOR HOME RULE.
NINTH CLAUSE OF THE BILL UP FOR
DISCUSSION.
The ParneIIites and the Government
Do Not Vote TOgether-GIadstone OP-
poses the Amendment of Redmond
to Increase Irish Representation.

LONDON, July 1O.-The discussion of
the ninth clause of the Irish govern
ment act which relates to the representa-
ton in the imperial parliament of Irish
counties and borOughs, began today in
committee of the whole of the house Of
commons. The bill provides for the re-
tention Of eighty Irish members in the
imperial parliament-a reduction of
twenty-three in the present representa-
ton Of Ireland. Mr. John Redmond,
Parnellite) member for Waterford city.
moved the adoption of an amendment
to retain the Irish representation at its
full present number-103 members.
Mr. Gladstone opposed the motion. The
government, he said, could not 60 be-
yond giving Ireland representation in
accordance with the proportion with her
population as compared with that Of
Great Britain.
A division resulted in the defeat Of the
resolution. Edward Heneage. uniOnist for
Great Grinsby, moved an amendment to
the effect that the Irish be excluded en-
tirely from the house of commons Mr..
Gladstone replied that the retention Of
Irish members would prove the means Of
rea ssuring dOubters as to the experiment
of home rule. Mr.. Gladstone, amid de-
risive cheers, moved the closure. 1t was
carried by a vote of 2il to I'll. The only
radical who voted against the government
however was Henry Labouchere. Sir
Charles Dixie abstaiued from voting. The
Parnellites fulfilled expectation by sup
porting the amendment. The only eNcep-
tion was Timothy Harrington, who was
absent. The McCarthyites supported the
government. The result was the rejection
of an amendment by vote OF 24O TO 2B.
The committee then rose and the house
adjourned.

A Rninan. Loss.

why is IL that people in general are so
prone to disregard loss of strength, clearly
perceptible in bodily shrinkage, failure of
appetite, broken rest? 1ncomprehensihle
but true. Sheer carelessness, an overween-
ing confidence in the power of nature to re-
cuperate-these are suggestible reasons.
One of the most observable signals of dan
ger thrown by distressed nature is warning
strength. An efficient tonic is the best
safeguard against impending peril. Among
the invigorants which modern science has
de, sloped and experience approved is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, and IL occupies
the frst place. Digestion, renewed by this
genial stomachic, compensates FOR drain
bowels and tranquil condition OF the
nerves, both insured by it's use cooperate
In the complete restoration of vigor. The
Bitters remedies liver and kidney trouble
and malaria.

THE PRESIDENT TAKES A SAIL.
Perfect Weather Partly Responsible
for the Outing.

BUZZARD'S BAY, July 1O.-President
Cleveland took his first sail down the
bay this forenoon, leaving at 1880 o'clock
in the Ruth" DR.. Bryant believes the
trip with its change Of environment viii
do the president a great deal of good.
AS Mr.. Cleveland walked from Gray Ca
bles to the boat landing he appeared
somewhat lame. He moved very slowly
The weather is perfect. DR.. Bryant and
Col Lamont accompanied the president
The party only went down the bay
i've miles and cast anchor off Wings
neck. The members fished several hours,
the catch being soup, tautog and bass
As they We're returning under full sail
with a strong southwesterly breeze they
were hailed by some newspaper men in
another boat.
What luck today?" was asked
Fairly goOd.'' came the reply. The
president was gone as long as usual. and
arrived at the wharf soon after O'Clock
When it was time to land the president
came out of the cabin i'm his shirt sleeves
and putting on his coat was all ready TO
step ashore. Col. Lamont was the first
to land, followed by the president and
DR.. Bryant. MIR. Cleveland jumped onto
the floating wharf with considerable
agility and walked up the pathway to
Gray Gables without assistance. His
step was more steady than when he
started this morning and he walked
faster. Mrs Cleveland met the party at
the wharf and walked with Mr. Cleve-
land to the house. In the meantime,
Miss Ruth looked at the fish in a wooden
pail on the wharf. The president en-
jOyed his trip very much. The presi-
dent does not appear 10 be so corpulent
as has been stated. This is the first day
he has been out since his arEival and he
is looking unusually we'll
