1t was suggested that the Alexandria city
authorities tee called upon In reference to
getting rid Of the Objectionable matter,
whereupon Chairman Beall stated that he
wanted to be put on record opposed to
allowing the county officials to have
anything TO do with the affair. One OF the
members opportunely advised aud it was

There was a slight twitching Of the
mouth, and he leaned over slightly and
kissed the upraised crucifix in the hands of
Father Matthews. The ankles aud knees
uf the condemned man were bound together
anu the black cap wasin thehands OF Guard
Woodward when he bent over once more
aud again kissed the CrucifiX. His eyes
were Still on II when the cap was drawn over
his head.
\ few seconds were spent tightening the
moose. duTiug which Travers breathed hard,
and tie folds of black cloth across his face
moved slightly. The priests We're still
utterinE prayers to which he responded
almost jnaudibly, wheu the guards stepped
back from the trap door and Warden
Leonard waved his handkerchief to the uD-
known occupant OF the black cell
There was the noise of a rope sliding,
the trap door dropped, and the condemned
man SHOT through the sCaffold floor and
downward for about six feet. The drop
fell at exactly 1876 O'Clock.
The body swayed motionless TO and fro
for few seconds and then there came
CUnyulSve twitChing Of the muscles and

once. and was the only movement made by
the dead man.
At ll:41 O'Clock the body was lowered

DEATH BY STRANGULATION.
A casket was brought in and placed be-

ana the attending physicians made further

was found TO be diSlocated and the neck
severely strained but not broken. 1t was

selections from all the standard operas
and the classics of the masters of music.
| Saxaphones and other reed instruments,

and they obtain an amount of harmony
and some effects that are surprising from
so few instruments.
The monkeys have been retained for an
other week. These animal entertainers
are worth seeing half dozen times, so
enjoyable is their performance, and 1t is
safe to predict that nothing on the bill
will be a bigger attraction than they. The
famous barber shop act is indescribably
funny, and the many clever tricks they
do are worth going TO see If there was
nothing else on the bill.
Doan and Lenharr, the clever team of
travesty artists, have also been re-engaged,
and will be seen in burlesque in one of
the great scenes of the famous war drama,
Rosedale. Mr.. Dolan is an excellent actor,
and introduces some good songs. He is
ably supported by Miss Lenharr, who is
finished actress.
Miss Lillian Mason is a most pleasing
vocalist. Her descriptive song was one OF
the best things on the programme last

as encores are clever and well done.
