BUD STONE HANGED.
The Murderer of Six of the Wrattan Fam
 fly Meets His Doom.

JEFFERsONvILLE, Ind, Feb. 16.-Jamcs E. Stone expiated his crime on the gallows in the prison south at o'clock this morn ing The seXtuple murderer kept up his air of bravado until the last moment. The death warrant was read to him by Warden Patten in the afternoon. During the read ing Stone preserved the same stOicism that was characteristic of the man during his stay in the prison. His spiritual adviser attempted to bring him to realization of his near approach to jeopardy, but, ill the language of the warden, He tried to the last to bluff God Almighty and everybody else
 Stone walked to the gallOws without a tremor and met his doom without a word of excuse for his horrible crime. The ami nal in his nature was exhibited to the last moment. His neck was broken by the fall, and there was no movement of the body after he passed through the trap.
 The crime for which Charles K. Stone, or Bud Stone, as he was familiarly known, was convicted was committed near the viii lage of Glendale, nine miles east of Wash ington, Ind, on the night of Sept. IS, 1893, and was the peculiarly atrocous and bloody murder of Mrs. Elizabeth Wratten, her son Densou Wratten and his wife and three children. All were kil'G. instantly with the exception of the little girl Ethel who lived foi several days.
 Stones was probably the most brutal and fiendish murder ever committed in the state of Indiana. It was undoubtedly planned for robbery, but becoming fright ened at the enormity of the crime the mur derer fled, leaving over $500 unlocked in a bureau drawer. His father is a we'll re spected farmer, and up to the time of the murder Bud Stone had led quiet, ,tn- eventful life

THE BURIED MINERS.
It May Take Three Weeks to Recover
 Their Bodies.


 WILKEsBARRE. Pa, Feb 16-Mining ex- perts are now of the belief that it will take at least three weeks, if not longer, before the bodies of the l3 men who pershed in the Gaylord mine can be recovered. Mine Inspector Mcdonald of Pittston and a number of mining superintendents de- scended into the ill fated mine and made a thorough examination of the wrecked workings. They came to the conclusion that the task of clearing the main gang way was a gigantic one. The fall of roof was so heavy and packed the gangways so tightly that it may be necessary to use ex- plOsives to loosen the debris and hurry along the work. This will not be resorted to, however,, unless it is found that the surface has settled for the last time aud there is no further danger of a depression from above. Superintendent Lawall of the Lehigh and Wilkes barre Coal company, who was one of the party that went down in the mine, says there is a possibility that the entombed men may not be as far back in the mine as some think.
 It is possible that one of the B heard the rumblings of the big squeeze and the con sequent danger and gave the alarm. Iii that case all of the men may have dropped their tools and fled toward the foot of the shaft.
 How far they got of course is not known. They may have come within a few feet of the foot of the shaft, and again they may have been struck down before they got a chance to run very far The only incentive that prompts the rescucrs to work hard is the belief that the bodies are near them. In case the bodies are not recovered by Sunday it is almost a foregone conclusion that the men were caught under the fall where they were working
 The search for the bodies will be an ex- pensive undertaking for the Kingston Coal company. The highest wages must be paid for expert miners, and while the search is being conducted no coal can be mined, and the employees simply put their time on ''dead work"

How to Make Almond Paste.

A pound Of ground almonds, pound of fine sifted loaf sugar, the whites of two new laid eggs and few drops of essence of almonds. Mix the sugar and the ground almonds well together; then add, little by little, the whites of the eggs beaten to froth until the mixture assumes the appearance of stiff paste. As some eggs contain more white than others, little less than the whites of two is sometimes sufficient, for the paste needs to be quite firm. Mdie it up into thick block and let it dry very slowly in moderate oven.

 --"It is all very we'll for the members of the road board to come together and talk about people standing in the way of public improvements" said resident of South Riverside street to-day. 1.-The members of the road board know better than any one else that the property owners on this street have been using every means in their power to have something done with the street for years, and would be but too willing to have the city commence the work at any time. The talk about our asking for damages for something that we have been begging to have done since the place was left in, its present condition by the city does not carry much weight I doubt if any member of the board would sign the petition which was drawn up and pre- sented to us, if he owned property in this street. I understand that some of them think that when the work is ordered done and all of us cited in for hearing that the board will endeavor to show that the city should receive some compensation for doing the work. Did they give us any guarantee in the waiver they asked us to sign that this same demand would not be made upon us if we should sign it? We have been overlooked for years in the mat ter of improvements, but the board of as sessors have remembered us in the matter of increased taxation and we have not raised as much of q fuss about it as some people who have been given for the asking what we have been begging for the last four or five years and have not yet re- ceived." Speaking on this matter Con- tractor Thomas Jackson said: ''What better proof could the board ask of the peoples readiness to cooperate with the city in doing their part of the work than the fact that they engaged me to set the curb last November and since that time l have $50 feet of curb lying there and do not know what to do with it.

Why the "Ioncymoon'' Is So Called.

Tho honeymoon is so called from the ancient custom among the Teutons, or natives of the northern nations of Flu rope, for newly married people to drink metheglin, mead or hydromel, kind of wine made from honey, for 80 days after marriage: hence the term honey moon or honeymonth. Attila the Hun is said to have indulged so freely in hy- drome1 at his wedding feast that he died. It now signifies the month after marriage or so much of it as is spent away from home.
