DIED BY THE GARROTE.
Murderer Of the Prime Minister Of
Spain Executed
COLL showed Iron Nerve when Con-
fronted7 by Death - Something
III About the Machine Which
.r,3 80 -fs. Took His Life.

Michel Angiohllo, the, assassin who
killed Premier Canovas on the Sth of
August at the Santa Agueda baths in
Spain, was a man of iron nerve. This
he especially displayed at his execution
at Vergara. Though implored by the
priests for hours before his death to
repent of his crime, he turned deaf
ear to all their entreaties. He assembled
the scaffold without tremor, and
showed his disregard for Christian con-
ISOLATION by turning to the back of his
head the red cross on the front of the
black cap that is placed on the heads
of men doomed to die by the garrote,
When he arrived at Vergara for trial
he cynically remarked: MY Calvary
has commenced. A priest will try to
convert me, and the usual comedy will
be gone through" On the scaffold his
last word was "Germinal," the name
given to the seventh month of the year
by the red revolutionists in France. He
requested the executioner to leave his
face uncovered, and thus met death
with the stoicism of an ancient Roman.
Little is known of Angiolillo, except
that he was a compositor in early life
and that when he went to Santa Agueda
on his mission of murder he REPRESENT
ed himself as the correspondent of an
italian newspaper. When arrested he
gave his name as Michel Coli. He had
three sisters and two brothers living in
Italy. He was of medium height, and
wore a full beard and spectacles. An
giolillo was sentenced to imprisonment
at Lucrera, Italy, for IS months for an
archist offenses, but escaped from the
prison there in 1895, and made his way
to Barcelon, Spain. The execution of
anarchists in that city for throwing
a bomb into a religious procession
prompted Angiolillo to kill Premier
Canovas.
The garotte, on which Coli died, is
named after its inventor, a Spanish

GRANTS LOG CABIN DEcAYiNe
Structure Removed froms St. Louis to
Philadelphia Needs Care.


The old log cabin once owned and oc-
cupied by Gen. Grant, which he had
brought to Philadelphia from st. Louis
20 years ago and which is now in Fair
mount park, is fast decaying. Many of
the logs have been rotted by the ele-
ments and others have been carried
away by relic hunters.
Gen. Grant presented the cabin, with
the original furniture in it, to his
friend, the late George II. Stuart. 1t is
still the property of the Stuart estate,
and neither the city nor the park COM
missioners can do anything with it.
George h. Stuart, Jr., applied four
years ago for permission to remove it
from the park, and permission was
granted, provided the grounds would
be restored to their original condition.
Nothing has been done in the matter
since. 1t is possible that the grand
army men will take some action toward
preserving the cabin.

A Clever Ruse.

1t was an ingenious ruse that pris-
oner who escaped from South Carolina
prison recently hit upon to throw blood
hounds off his track. The convict was
tracked by the dog to farmhouse,
where he had begged breakfast. He
stole pepperbox, and after leaving the
house peppered his tracks. The dog al
most died from the effects of the pepper
and had to be called off.

COMFORT FOR MAN AND BEAST.
The Picture Presented on a Big Canal
Boat Tied Up Over Sunday.

Boat Tied Up Over Sunday.
Tied alongside bulkhead in the Har-
lem river was a big canal boat. In the
stable at one end stood three horses
munching hay out of their manger, says
the New York Sun. The deck over the
horses, forming the roof of their stable,
was foot or two, or maybe more than
that, higher than the surrounding deck,
and it was open all around, so that the
breeze blew through freely. 1t was a
hot day, but the horses were in the
shade, in place where they could get
the air if they could get it anywhere;
then they had plenty to eat, and they
were apparently as comfortable as
horses could be.
Down at the other end of the boat an
other scene presented itself. There an
awning had been stretched over the
deck from side to side, aft of the cabin.
1t was q Sunday. Under this awning,
in comfortable rockingham, sat the
canal boats captain, reading a news
paper. Here, too, sat the captains
wife, reading a book. Under the avn
ing, stretching from the cabin door,
they sat as on a veranda in front of a
house on shore, and quite as much at
home. 1t would have been difficult to
find more comfortable spot, and, in
deed, the boat was picture of comfort
for man and beast.

The COAL TRUST CASE.
Attorney General Hnncook has Now Filed
Notice OF an Appeal.

ALBANY. Dec. S.--A vigorous prose-
cution Of the Coal trust case has been
planned by Attorney General Hancock.
and If the court of appeals decides
against him the incoming legislature
will at once he asked to amend the
law. The attorney general has fled
and served notice Of appeal in the anti

tutionality Of the law and the methods
prescribed under il for the examination
Of witnesses. The proceeding in which
the appeal is taken was commenced
Immediately after the passage Of the
antitrust law by the legislature by the
attorney general. with j. Newton Fiero

nations Of the presidents Of the Della
ware and Lackawanna, the New Jersey
railroad. the New Jersey Central rail-
road, the Ontario and Western and the
Erie railroad. with the purpose Of en-,

~ of the law upon these points and

brought on the first motion day in jan
uary. The court will probably adjourn
to the 10th Of January for the holiday

matters taken up upon its reconvening.

The Forum for December is full of
good things, and its array of writer's is
a strong one. The leading article is
by James Bryce, perhaps best
known to American readers through
his work "The American Common
wealth" The subject Of his paper is
"The Policy of Annexation for Amer
ica;" and he approaches the question
as zone who can honestly say that his
only motive for writing is his interest
in the welfare of the great country
which he has so often visited" His
aim is to show how ''the question pre-
sents itself to the minds of those Eng
lish friends of America who love her
almost as they love their own island
Mr.. Bryce considers that it would be
impossible for us to annex Cuba ci
Hawaii without maintaining a very
powerful navy, from which burden We
have hitherto escaped. To enter
upon a policy Of annexation would be
for the United States "a descent from
what may be called the pedestal ci
wise and pacific detachment on which
she now stands"
