at 12 o'clock they were marched single file to the gallows. Lee Harris in the lead and Mitchell in the rear. After ascending the gallows they again made a talk" telling all to meet them in heaven.
 Abe Mitchell began to tremble and clinched his hands tightly. Harris see ing this, remarked: Brace up, here, Abe don't be shakin' dat way"
 Abe braced up and was quickly pinned. Harris appeared utterly indifferent and laughed all the time the pinning was be- ing done. The black caps were drawn over their heads and with jerk the trap was sprung and the two bodies fell like pieces of inanimate matter, not swaying or oscillating in the slightest.
 pr. Gillespie felt the heart beats and pulse of Lee Harris while Dr. Shoemaker did the same with Abe Mitchell. Mitch- elfs heart ceased to pulsate at exactly ten and half minutes and Lee Harris at twelve minutes.
 The bodies were allowed to hang for a few minutes longer when they were taken down and examined and it wag found that their necks were not broker but that they had died of strangulatiot
 The bodies were taken in charge by MI Ter & Co,, who had bought them, anu were taken to their undertaking estab- ltshment on Second avenue Afterwards they were turned over to the Birming- ham Medical college for clinical prac- tice in that institution.

Bradstreet,s Summary.

New York, June 7-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: The speculative spirit which seemed to dominate both commer- cial and financial circles until within a week or ten days past is still less con- spicuous in all lines. Demand for staple goods in a number of instances is small CT, notably at Boston, Pittsburg, Chi cago and Kansas City, particularly in dry goods, the demand for which at first and second hands has declined, as is GUS tomary at this period.
 While business throughout the country may therefore be characterized as quiet CT, the tone of staple markets continues strong, and confidence in a good de- mand when the fall season opens up next month remains unabated.
 The feature of the week, as hereto fore, is the continued long list of ad- vances in prices, notably those for iron and steel and the upward movement of bank clearings. Higher prices are re- corded for some cotton goods, shoes, hides. leather, paper, pig iron, steel, gall vanized iron, black sheets, canned goods, hogs, wheat, corn, oats and some grades of wheat flour. Prices for live cattle wool coal and lumber are reported un- changed and firm. while silver, cotton petroleum and lard alone are noteworthy

A Man-of-war on the Watch.

Jacksonville Fla, June "A special to the Times Union from Fernandina, Fla, says: Captain Woodruff of the schooner Greenleaf Johnson, which ar rived in port discovering reports man. of-war, which he believes to be Spaniard, lying off Cumberland Sound, about six miles from shore. There Is no doubt she is zealously watching Florida harbors for filibustering expeditions, the fear being occasioned by the presence of Quesada Cespedes, Callaso brothers and other Cuban leaders in the state. Quesada and the Colassa brothers have been here in consultation with N. B. Borden, who engineered the Lagonda- Baracoa filibustering affair, and it is supposed their presence has to do with some important move. The party left there today, ostensbly for Jacksonville, but it is supposed they are now on Anne lia island Borden left late this evening on his yacht Mimi, and it is believed he will pick up the Cubans at some point agreed upon. Just what sort of move is contemplated is hard to teii.

The action of the San Francisco board of health is an unusual tribute to be paid even to an article of so high character as the Royal Baking Powder. They say, in their judgment it is impossible to make purer or stronger baking DOW der than the Royal.
Birmingham age-herald., 1895-06-08

As a matter of useful information 1t may be stated that whenever a cooking receipt calls for a baking powder the Royal" should be used. The receipt will be found to work better and surer and the bread, biscuits, rolls, cakes. dumplings, crusts, buildings, crullers or whatever made, will be sweeter, lighter, finer favored, more dainty, pal atable and wholesome.
