GU1LLoT1NE AGAIN USED.
Second Execution in France At
tracts a Large Crowd.

CARPENTRAS, France. January 60
The second execution In France under
the revival of the law of capital pun
ishment took place here today, and al
though the scenes accompanying it were
less regrettable than those attending the
quadruple execution at Bethune January
II. nevertheless they were distinctly un-
pleasant. and they undoubtedly will
hasten parliamentary action toward max
ing future executions private.
The guillotine was erected on Q public
square alongside the prison. The locality
was cordoned with sold ers. who effectual-
ly blocked all the streets: but an Inn
patient crowd which had assembled dur
ing the night demanded that it be given
a chance to witness the decapitation.
Some of the people climbed up on lad
ders, from which they kept the others
informed of the details Of the proceed
ings. while the windows of the houses
overlooking the square were damned with
people.
The condemned. a man named Remy
Danvers. who had cruelty shot an aged
farmer and his wife. was first made
aware of his fate by the yells of the
crowd that surrounded the prison. He
came out Of the prison yard with livid
face and staring eyes, and 1t was neces-
sary to make use of force to get him to
the guillotine and his head in position
for the fall of the blade.

done to the macadam roadways in the
northern part of the city by earth from
excavations being dropped or tracked
upon them. This is usually the case at
this season OF the year when the material
excavated and the dumps are in a very
muddy condition; but the damage done
during the last two or three weeks is so
much greater than usual as to call for
special efforts to prevent It's repetition
After speaking of several instances Of
damage to the highways. he continues:
Il estimate that not less than 81 .OO0 and
probably more will be required to restore
these streets to fair condition by remov-
ing the dirty stone and replacing with
new. 1t is not an exaggeration to say
that the injury to macadam streets by
earth from excavations probably amounts
to about $4,000 each year.,
Capt. Markham. in recommending a ref
