RALPH WIREBAOK HANGED.
Murderer of Landlord Lands Ex.
mates His Crime ut Lan caster.

Lancaster Pa, June S.-Ralph w.
Wireback, the murderer OF ID. b. Ian
dis. was hanged in the jailyard in the
presence Of several hundred persons.
This was the first execution in this coun-
ty since 1888, whom two negroes were
hanged for a most revolving murder, al
though there have been II number Of con-
victions of murder in the first degree
during that period,
Contrary to expectation there was no
scene Or wild demonstration made by
Wireback, who walked quietly on the
scaffold and died without a struggle. He
said he was prepared to meet death.
The crime for which Ralph w. Wire
back was hanged was the murder, on
April T., 1898. of David b. Lands, pres
ident of the Conestoga National bank
| Wireback occupied house owned by
Lands and which the latter sold. Wire
| back refused to yacate the premises,
claiming that he had verbal agreement
| with Lands which gave him the option
| of retaining the III use another year.
Proceedings We're instituted, and when
a constable repaired to the house to eject
| him he found the house barricaded from
cellhr to garnet. Wireback was driven
from room to room, until eventually he
took refuge in the garnet, which had been
strongly barrcadcd and access to which
was only by narrow stairway. He
was armed with an old muzzle loading
shotgun. and from an aperture in the
barricnde he had complete control OF the
stairway.
During one of the numerous parleys
held with him he asked for Mr. Lands,
and the latter assembled the steps, when
Wireback asked what would be done for
his (Wireback's) family if he should sur
render. Lands made an equivocal an
swer, and a moment later Wireback fired
blowing off the entire top Of Lands
head. Wirchack an hour later surren
dered.
In the trial That ensued the defense
was insanity, and at times he became sc
violent that it was necessary to use force
to subdue him. Several efforts were
made for rehearing, but without sue
cess.

To two quarts of boiling water add
four large tablespoonfuls of spirits OF
ammonia, four tablespoonful of shaved
CASTLE soap, one tablespoonful of tur-
pentine, tablespoonful of sal soda and
three of glycerin. Two drops of oil Of
roses will dissipate the odor of turpen-
tine, which might be omitted, but is
an excellent cleansing agent. Half a
teaspoonful is enough for a gallon of
