Something Concerning the Formation of
 a Curious Marine Growth.

There is marvellous marine growth called sertularia which has the appear ance of a delicate bush, although it's slender stalks or fibers are built up by thousands of minute animals, some thing as the coral polyp builds up the coral. It is found, says the New York Sun, in clumps and punches on wreck age and stones and elsewhere, and sometimes it is torn loose in storms and

THE MCKINLEY WAVE.
1t Sweeps Over the Indiana and Michi-

son Silent

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, May THE Indiana
republican convention to-day instructed its
delegates for Major Mckinley, with scarcely
show of opposition, and the long-impend-
ing battle between the Mckinley and alleged
Harrison forces ended in commonplace peace.
The platform embodying the instructions
was adopted by a viva voce vote and without
division, the chairman's decision that the
motion to adopt had carried being received
without a challenge.
General Harrison did not make his eagerly
expected speech to the delegates and did not
visit the convention ut all. The platform de-
clares for sound money! favors the use of
both gold and silver at parity. urges
bimetallism on an International basis. and
condemns the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at a ratio of 16 to l.
The delegates at large are II. w. Thomp-
son, of Nigo county; c. W. Fairbanks. OF
Marion; f. NJ. Milliken. of Henry; Gen. Lew
Wallace, of Montgomery.

HOLMES HUNG.
He Confessed TWO Murders, But Denied
Killing PiteZel-Statement OIL
the ScaffOld.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May The most art
full and prolific murderer Of recent years.
Herman W. Mudgett, alias H II. Holmes.
was hanged in Moyamensing prison at 1873
minutes after 10 o'clock this morning. A
half hour later he was officially pronounced
dead. His neck was broken by the fall and
death was declared to have been practically
instantaneous. The body was placed tenn
porarily in Holy Cross Cemetery. There was
no autopsy and none will be made, the con-
demned man having in almost his last words
to his attorney, Mr.. Samuel p. Rotan, left a
strict injunction to that effect.
The execution was witnessed by about fifty
men. including city officials, jurors and
newspaper men. Mr.. Stephen II. Mason.
sheriff of Baltimore city, was present by in
vitation of the sheriff of Philadelphia. A
crowd assembled outside the walls, but there
was no demonstration.
PROCESSION TO THE GALLONS.
At two minutes after 10 O'Clock the pro-
cession to the gallows was begun, headed by
Prison Superintendent Perkins and Assistant
Superintendent Richardson. The scaffold
stood in the centre of the corridor on the first
floor of the convict side of the prison. The
PLATFORM eight feet above the level Of the
floor, was approached by a flight OF steps.
AS the witnesses gathered about the structure
Homes was escorted up the steps by Rev.
Patrick J. Daley, rector of the Roman Catho-
lie Church of the Annunclation, and his
assistant. Father McPeak, both priests recit-
ing the office for tho dead. Homes, a cruel
fix clasped in both hands, upon which his
eyes were fixed walked steadily between
them. He Wore a sack coat and trousers of
grey material and white shirt. There was
thin growth of beard on his chin, and his
hair was so ruiIled as to display IL small bald
spot at the top of his forehead.
STATEMENT OF THE PRISONER.
There was Il pause after they had reached
the platform ana then Holmes stepped for
ward and pronounced his valedictory He
said:
"Gentemen, / have very few words to say.
In fact would make no remarks ut this
true except that by not speaking | would
appear to acquiesce in my execution. | only
wish tn say that the axtent Of my wrong-do-
ing N taking human life consisted in the
death Of two women. they having died at my
hands rs the result OF criminal operations. |
wish to also state here, so that there can be
no chance of misunderstanding hereafter,
that am not guilty of taking the ivss OF
any of the Pitezel family, the three children
and Benjamin. the father. of whose death
was convicted, and for which l am today to
b" hanged. That il all have to say
1t took him exactly two minutes to pro-
nounce what nearly every man there re-
garded as the last of Il series OF lies. Father
Daily is the only man who knows whether or
not the man went into eternity with lie on
his lips, for to him Holmes had previously
made final confession.
