CHINESE ENJOY BEHEADING.
The Execution of Rebels Is Made a
Festive Affair for Women
and Children.

According to late Vancouver (B. CO.
mail advices from China eight sub
ordinate leaders of the Kwangski re
bellion have been beheaded at WI
Chow. They we're carried in baskets
through the principal streets as a
warning spectacle amid the laughter
and jeers of men, women and children.
Ten thousand people witnessed the
decapitation and made it a gala day.
Little children copied their parents
who joked at the dying rebels a second
before the ax fell. When all was over
the children played among the head
less, bleeding corpses and made sport
with the black, disfigured heads.
Mandarins and headmen improvised
a sort of May pole and the heads of the
rebels were placed on top in tiers, the
children dancing around them. The
governor advised the mandarins to
make the peheading as festive as pos
sible, SO as to inspire disgust for the
rebels in the hearts of the people. A
banquet was afterward spread.
The Japan Mail says petition has
been sent to the government by for
eign consuls requesting that behead-
ing be discontinued

Extraordinary Marriage Vows.

An English rural clergyman says
that in his parish it was quite the
fashion for the man, when giving the
ring in the marriage ceremony, to say
to the woman: with my body 7 thee
wash up, and with all my hurdle goods
/ thee and thou" He said the women
were better up in this part of the serv-
Ice than the men. One day, however,
bride startled him by promising, in
what she supposed to be the language
OF the Prayer book, to take her hus-
band "to ave and to old from this day
forni't for betterer horse, for richerer
power, in siggerness health, to love
cherries and to bay" What meaning
this extraordinary vow conveyed to
the wcman's own mind, the incumbent
said, baff1ed him TO conjecture.

Applications for New Trials.

An application was yesterday made
for a new trial in the case of joseph
II. Gunster assignee, against William
II. Jessup and others. The reasons ad-
vanced why a new trial should be
granted are as follows:
Plaintiffs counsel were surprised at the
ruling of the court as to the competency
of Mr.. Merriield. In two former trials
like objection to the competency was
oVerruled. in one of which, on exactly the
same evidence, the release of Mr.. Merrl-
field to the assignee was decided to be IN
good faith.
If there be any liability existing which
would appear to cause the witness to be
interested in the suit it is so remote that
it does not render him incompetent.
The lapse of time from the failure of
the bank to the offer of the witness in
evidence, presumably removes any liza
bility as a stockholder, and any liability
on account Of the agreement between the
depositOrs committee and the witness
and others.
The court erred in deciding that the re-
lease Of Mr. Merrifeld as a stockholder
was colorado. In doing so the court aD-
piled the principle Of the case of Post
VS., Avery which is not in point where a
release is given by person who merely
has an interest and is not a party to the
contract or suit
Court granted a rule to show cause
why a new trial should not be ordered

Common pleas court for this week
practically came to an end yesterday.
All of the cases open for trial were
disposed of yesterday and this morn
ing only a few verdicts will have to be
taken and motions heard.
Before Judge Edwards in the main
court room the suit of John J. and James
Fahey against the Empire Life Insur-
ance company was put on trial in the
morning. They sued to recover $4,000
on life insurance policy issued to
their father by the company and the
court directed a verdict in their favor
for $2,4S0.6S
The plaintiffs allege that in 1887
policy in the sum of $4,000 was taken
on the life of their father Thomas
Fahey, and that the premiums were
paid and the policy kept in force from
1889, the date of it's issue, to June, 1893,
when the subject of the policy died.
Then the company refused to pay the
amount claimed. Suit is now brought
to recover $4,000 The defence is that
81. 900 was the maximum of the com
panys liability to the plaintiffs, but
that the policy provided for pro rata
payment from a mortuary fund Gre
| ated by the assessments on the class
of policy holders to which the plaintiffs
belong. The plaintiffs were represented
by Attorneys O'Brien & Kelly and the
defendants by Attorneys Streeter and
| Lowry.
