bound with cord without prejudicing
or in any wise impairing the right OF
the Lord Abbot to deliver condemned
criminals wholly naked" The pig must
not wear rope, unless the right to do
without it be expressly reserved, lest
some human culprit under similar cir
cumstances might claim to be entitled
to raiment.
In the case of a mule condemned to be
burned alive at Montpelier in 1866, as
! the animal was vicious and kicky, the
eXecutioner cut off it's feet before con-
signing 1T to the flames. This mutila-
ton was an arbitrary and eXtra-judi-
eial act, dictated solely by considera-
lions Of personal convenience. Hang
men were often guilty of supererogatory
cruelty in the exercise of their bloody
functions. Writers on criminal juris-
prudence repeatedly complain of this
evil and call for reform. Thus Dam
houder in his "Rerum Criminalium
Praxis' urges magistrates to be more
careful in selecting persons for this i'm
portant office, and not to choose nctori-
Gus violators of the law as indicators
OF justice. Indeed, these hardened
wrctches sometimes took the law into
their own hands. Thus, on the 9Th Of
June, 1876 at Schwenfurt, in Franco
MIA. sow which had bitten off the ear
and torn the hand of child was given
in custody to the hangnlan, who with
out further authority, took it to the gal
lows green and there hanged it public
ly, to the disgrace and detriment Of the
city" For this imprudent usurpat.on
of judiciary powers Jack Ketch was
obliged to flee, and never dared return.
On the 10th of January, last, a sow
was convicted of murder, committed on
the person of an infant named Jehan
Martin, of Savigny, and sentenced to be
hanged. Her six stockings were also
included in the indictment as accom-
plices, but Sin default of any positive
proof that they had assisted in man
Cling the deceased, they were restored TO
their owner, on condition that he should
give bail for their appearance should
further evidence be Forthcoming to
prove their completely in their mothers
crime" About a month later, ION the
Friday after the Feast of the Purifica-
tion of the Virgin the stockings were
again brought before the court, and as
their owner, Jehan Bailly, declined to
be answerable for their future good con-
duct, they were declared forfeited to the
noble damsel Katherine de Barnault,
Lady of Savigny. Sometimes fine
was imposed upon the owner of the Of
Tending beast, as was the case with Je-
han Delalande and his wife, condemned
on the 18th Of April, 1899, by the Abbey
Of Josaphat. near Charities, to pay eigh-
teen francs ION account of the murder
of child named Gillon, aged five years
and half or thereabouts, committed by
a porker, aged three months or there
abouts." The porker was hanged and
executed by justlce."-E. P. Evans in

THE QUAY FIG TIT.

Senator Quay had only Ill votes yes
terday, but that didn't mean any weak
ness, as two of his men We're at home
i'll. He has gone to Washington, but
! before he went he said the situation was
entirely satisfactory to him, and that
he had not the slightest doubt of his
election Attorney General EllSin says
that Quay will have more votes when
he gets ready to call for them. Where
these votes are coming from doth not
appear, but it has been said that Quay
would win whenever the Democrats as
a party withdrew their votes from
jerks and sought to concentrate them
on one of the anti-Quay Republicans.
In such an event other Democrats
would turn in for Quay and elect him
with the aid of the Republicans who
have been supporting him. Democratic
leaders deny this story, and perhaps so
good Republican as Quay is would not
care to have Democratic help.
There may be a long fight, and the
indications are that there will be. Per
haps Quay's men have more cohesive
power than the anti-Quay men, though
the anti-Quay men start off WELL Even
if Quay finds he can't win he may pos
sibly secure the election of man of his
choice,

for failure to make weekly reports and
for refusal to allow inspection of their
records. Another very important fea-
ture of the bill is the provision which
fixes a severe penalty for destroying
the name-plate or number on a bicycle,
or for repainting it or changing its
identity within thirty days from the
time of purchase. This will make 1T
much easier for a person who has lost
his wheel to recover it, and will greatly
diminish the chances of success of the
thief or persons disposing of wheels
which they have found. The penalty
for destroying a wheels identity is Sc
vere The offender may be imprisoned
six months in jail and fined $50.
A law of this kind will make some
trouble and expense for dealers in bicy-
Giles, and the honest ones will perhaps
feel that they ought not to be. specially
taxed because there are bicycle thieves.
But such a law will undoubtedly do
much to discourage the stealing of BIZ
cycles, a crime which has become so
common and is so troublesome that a
check to it is very much needed.

/ that those who wanted Mr.. Wolfer to

more appreciation. This offer has
touched Mr.. VOTERS heart and so the

release him from the agreement he has

MA RCHTNG ON.

| Was the late John w. Kelly, of the
motor which was always going to mote,
fraud or lunatic, or both? Nobody
really knows yet but the old suspicion
that he was fraud has been strength
ened by discoveries that have been
! made in the workshop he occupied in
Philadelphia. "A number of distinguish
ed scientific gentlemen testify that
tubing was found concealed in the brick
work and under the floor of the labora-
tory. This. it is claimed, laid bare the
possibilities of deception, as the tubing,
is of the kind calculated to stand high
pressure and could have been used in
connection with the great steel sphere
found last week in the laboratory
which, the experts intimate, was used
as a reservoir for compressed air or
compressed gases, and the tubing could
thus form an agency for the forces that
moved the motor in the exhibition room.
AS Mr.. keely ana his friends persistent
ly asserted that no tubing of any kind
was needed to work his machines. the
discovery of the tubing is naturally re-
garded as significant.
If Brother Keely is where he can look
down or up and see what is going on
he must be amused He caused a good
deal of guessing when he was alive,
and his soul seems to be marching on
in it's same old way.

seen. In some places the marks are
larger than in others. The Canadian
banks below the whirlpool also indicate
that the river has widened at some of

paring Attempt at Robberr.

A daring attempt at highway rot-
 bery occurred last evening on the southwest carner of Marina and
 Union streets, opposite Jake Marks residence and the Episcopal church.
 The victim was C. l.. Richards, the
 well known druggist. Mrs. Mary
 Brown had given a dinner at her residence on Alarcon street, to a number of ex-Phenicians, in hoaor of Mrs. Richards, who expects to leave in a few days for Jerome. Mir.
 Richards left there at twenty min utes past eight o'clock to return to the drug store. When he was com ing down Union street, in front of Jake Msrks' residence, he noticed two men standing on the sidewalk by the Episcopal church. As he started across Marina street they started across Uuicn, and just as be reached the corner one of them passed behind him and the other stepped m front Of him and pre- sented a six-shooter in his face. T he man with the gun never uttered a word, and Mir Richards grabbed it, and showing it to one side tried to wrench 1t from his grasp with the other, Quite a struggle took place. in which one of NIT. Richards fingers was cut. He was finally compelled to let go of the gun when the msn walked away and MT. Richards proceeded on his way. While the struggle for the gun was going on the other man remained at a dis tance of twenty or twenty-five feet away, as q spectator. Mir. Richards the men as being quite young probably not over twenty or twenty-tWo years old. The affair so early in the evening, within a block of the plaza, and in the bright moonlight, makes it a bold and daring act.
