portable mill exploded, killing five men

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
VICTORIA (B. CO., Jan. 3O.-Albert Stro-
bel, the murderer OF John Marshall of
Huntingdon, was executed at the Jail at
S A. NJ. to-day. He met death calmly and
bravely, preserving to the last the cool
demeanor which has characterized his
every action during the terrible ordeal
of the two trials and the final death sem
tence.
The execution was we'll managed and
death was almost instantaneous. The
condemned man was not on the gallows
over five minutes before the lever was
pulled, letting the trap fall from beneath
him and hurting him into eternity.
He made the following speech from the
galiows, which may be taken as charac-
teristic of the man: 81 can only say this
much: l am very thankful to every ybody
for the kindness they have shown me.
No one need have no fear but that you
are hanging guilty man. [ don't hold
grudge against nobody. l hope to meet
you all in the better land. / wish you all
good-by. That's all | have to say. The
reason | say this is to free the jury's con-
science in thinking they have done any
thing wrong. The jury have done their
duty ali through and everyone else has"
This statement was delivered in loud,
clear, firm voice, without tremor.
Strebel did not pass very good night,
although it cannot be said he showed any
signs of despair or distress. He was
basy writing during the early evening,
copying passages from the Bible, especially
called to his notice by Father Nicolaye.
He went to bed at midnight, and slept
until A. NJ. When he awoke for the last
time, about o'clock, Father Nicolaye ar
rived at the Jail and attended him until
the last. He ate no breakfast, fasting be-
fore and after receiving communion. He
shook hands with Moseby, Governor of
the Penitentiary, who was largely instru-
mental in his conviction. and said he
(Moseby) had done his duty, and that he
(Strobel) bore him no i'll wishes.

WAS near to them When the buffaioes
were sent to Craze. the hungry brutes
found that the deer had cleared the
grazing ground, and SO wandered into
the jungle and arifted off with their
wild mates. and when twilight fell the
three or four ponies that belonged to
the village lay in their stables with
their heads beaten in. Only Bagheera
could have given those strokes, and
only Bagheera would have thought of
dnsolently dra aging the last carcaseS to

The villagers had no heart TO light
fires in the fields that night, so HATH
and his three sons went cleaning among
the pumpkins and what was left OF the
maize; and where HATH CLEANS there
is lie need to follow. The men decided
no live on their stored seed corn until
the rains had fallen. and then to take
work as servants till they could catch

dealer was thinking of the well-f1lled
crates of corn and the prices he would

They made the Gond welcome with
what they had. and they stood on one
leg. his bow in MS hand. and two or
Hhree poisoned arrows stuck through
his top-knot, looking half afraid and
half contemptuously at the anxious
villagers and their ruined fields. They
wished 10 know whether his gods-the
old gods-were angry with them and
what sacrifices should he offered. The

he pushed with his hand in the open

There is one particular bluecoat, who,
by virtue OF his long service, carries
three faded stripes on his coat s.eeye,

Notwithstanding this. Mr.. Brass But
tons beat the combination, and beat it
pretty thoroughly. He had Oeen rather
behind time in his hourly commun.ca-
tons with headquarters, and his sup-r-
Tors determined to teach him a lesson.
Ac- ordingly he was sent TO travel a
lonely, isolated post, which ad a SOL
itary patrol box situated just alongside
a deserted hut that mad once been util-
lied as a Toulouse by a ra lroad cor
p0ration. 1t didn't require many
hours presence on the part OF the dis
ciplined copper for him 10 discover that
he had been given the best of the deal
in this particular transfer. and ne i'm

whereby he could benefit by his newly
acquired advantages.
The much-craved boon that he
sought was light maps. He had long
aso tried the plan VI an alarm clock
set to go off few minutes before pull
ing time, but tired nature had in each
instance asserted itself and his sta
ton had failed to hear from him. Now
conditions were different, for he had
found just what he needed to carry
out the clever ruse he had concocted.
Running alongside the deserted
shanty We're two electric light wires
fully charged with a current Of cleo
tricity. and to these the valiant watch
dog pinned his faith.
First he once more produced his
long ago-discarded alarm clock, after
he broke away the glass face, and af-
ter making sure that the clock was on
time with his watch he made a con-
nection with the electric light wires
by means of two small pieces of cop
per wires. One Of these ne wound
around the minute hand of the clock
and the other he firmly fastened to
the framework of the timepiece, just
over the figures that indicated his hour
for pulling up. Then, to one of the
wires he fastened two more pieces of
copper. which he wound about either
of his hands. This done. the willy 20
liceman stretched himself out on the
floor and enjoyed The desired nap safe
in the knowledge that at the proper
moment the meeting of the two wires
on the clock would convey to him a
shock that was bound to waken him.
SO he could salute his station through
the patrol box.
