Hanged for the Murder of a Bar-

ST. PAUL, Oct. 10, 1S94.-At sos A. NJ.
today Otto Wonigkeit and Charles
Ermisch were launched into eternity. 1t
was just o'clock when Deputies Irish
and Kinney McCarron and Clewett, as
cended the stairs to the cell of the pris-
oners, and few minutes later, preceded
by Sheriff Chapel, Deputies Irish and
Kinney, came down stairs with Ernisch
between them. He walked with a firm
step and bore no expression of fear of
DEATH Immediately behind him came
Wonigkeit, in charge of two deputies.
The same firm demeanor was marked in
his appearance as his partner in crime.
He did not falter, and took his place
beside Ermisch on the gallows.
In a moment the ropes were placed
about their necks and the black caps
drawn over their faces. Not a WORT
was spoken by either. The deputies then
stepped aside, the lever that held the
traps in place was pulled by Sheriff Cha-
pei, and Wonigkeit dropped through the
floor and out of sight of those present,
About eight seconds later Ermisch
dropped There was a slight defect III
the adjus tment of the levers Whlch
caused the difference in the time between
the dropping of the traps.
The four doctors in attendance pro
nounced Wonigkeit dead in eleven min
utes and Ermsch in twelve minutes.
Death in both cases resulted from stransc
ulation The Coroner took charge OF
the bodies in twenty minutes after they
were cut down.
The crime for which the two boys
were hanged was the shooting OF Bar
tender Lindhoff on the night of May
last. The ages were II and l9 years OLD
respectively.

this morning to offer prayers for the
recovery of the Gar. President Casimir
Perier, Premier Dupuy and NJ. Hano-
taux, Minister of Foreign Affairs were
present. Cardinal Richard has been
delegated to hold similar services in the
Cathedral of Notre Dame.
Political and other circles are in a
state of grave suspense in consequence
of the unfavorable reports of the con-
dition of the Gar. The newspapers
express hope of his ultimate recovery,
though there probably is no hope, and
recall His Majesty's proved friendship
for France. Most of the journals ex
press conviction that the entente be-
tween France and Russia will not be
disturbed whatever may happen.
The Grand Duke Alexis, brother of
the Czar will arrive here today from
Biarritz and proceed directly to Russia.

MR. HARDENBERGH'Ss POSITION.
l asked Commissioner Hardenbergh this
morning what his position was in re-
gard to the acquisition of supply of
Il favor, and I believe all the mem
bers of the Finance Board favor a sup
ply of pure water. There is no doubt
but what we must secure pure water.
But if 1t is possible to improve our pres
ent supply, where does the necessity
of spending seven or eight millions come
in?
IF we can prevent the pollution Of
our present supply we should do it. Ii
we cannot, I claim that Jersey City
should be paid heavy damages. If any
town or city is polluting our water sup
ply TO such an extent that we are to be
compelled to purchase new supply,
the town or city responsible for the
pollution should be compelled to pay us
heavy damages. We could then apply
the amount of damages awarded in pay
ing for new supply. Our board does
not like the specifications adopted by
the Street and Water Board, and / do
not believe they will concur in any
resolution looking to a new supply in
, accordance Herewith. We intend finding
out what our powers are in this matter,
and we propose having them recognized
When specifications are submitted to us
which meet with our approval We will
concur not before"

born at Motta Visconti, northwest or
Pavia. in December, 1873. The prisoner
is a baker by trade, and was tried in
Milan in 1892, for breach of peace; but he
was acquitted. owing to lack OF sufficient
