who enlisted in New York city last
June in Light battery D, Eighth artil-
lery, which is in command of Capt.
Frank Thorpe, has secured his dis

Sullivan came back from Porto Rico

blesome times in that country and is
loud in his praise of Major Gen. Mel
son A. Miles, whom he says endeared
himself to every soldier during the
time he commanded the troops at Por-
TO Rico. Sullivan would make an eX-
cellent witness for the war investl-
eating committee on the beef question
He says that Gen. Miles did not say
half enough about the poor beef, and
added that he would like to tell what
he knew if the board would listen tc
his story.
Sullivan will return to New York city
and re-enter the business which he left
so abruptly last summer to answer the
call Of President Mckinley. He says
money would not induce him to serve
again as a soldier in the regular army

Disgracetul Scenes at the
Hanging.

St Scholastique, Que, March 10
Mrs. Cordelia PORTER and Samuel Pars-
low were hanged here this morning
The drop fell at 500 O'Clock. Mrs Poi
Fier, who said farewell to her relatives
last night, was firm and collected
throughout.
Parslow exhibited much less courage,
the drop fell Six hundred men who
had remained up all night witnessed
the execution. Outside the jail there
were 2O0O more. who, with a beam,
tried to batter down the gate of the
Jail yard, and could only be made to
desist by the provincial police firing
their revolyers into the air.
The most disgraceful scene occurred
Immediately after the drop fell, when
the crowd rushed TO the scaffold and
tore away the covering below and tried
10 handle the bodies which We're still
pulsating. It was then that Father
Meloche, from the scanold, called upon
them to have some decency. Not only
the police outside, but those on the
scadold took part in the shooting to
prevent the mob from breaking down
the door OF the jail yard. They all
fired in the air, however.
Two sisters of the condemned woman
managed to secrete themselves in the
Jail during the excitement, and when
the procession filed TO the gallows
managed TO get near a window that
looked out on the scaffold and watched
the execution from there. They had
tainted when discovered.
AS the body of Parslow was driven
from the jail TO his home in St. Ca
mute, and was passing the Macomb
Hotel in this place, a crowd Of drunken
men rushed out and yelled and shouted
AT the procession.
As the body of the woman was be-
ing taken from the Jail crowd gath
cred in the road and stopped the cor
tege which consisted of the hearse and
a sleigh containing her father, and
heaped all sorts Of epithets upon the
dead woman. The police We're finally
compelled to clear the road.
Mrs. Poirier requested 10 be buried
at Canute, in the plot Of her brother.
one of her last requests was that her
organ should be brought to Jail in or
der that she might play during mass,
but this was refused.
