Crowds at Hangings

IN the newspaper reports of the hanS-
ing Of the two negroes last Friday, said
a man who had lived abroad, much
stress was laid on the morbid curiosity of
the crowd of people which assembled on
that occasion, as on others, within the
shadows OF the walls of the county Jail.
Though not permitted to see any part
of the grim proceedings, they wait on
the outside, and with an absorbing in
terest that is surprising watch the face
of the clock in the courthouse tower that
slowly marks the ebbing of human life.
How much alike Is human nature the
world over.
Under the law in England a condemned
malefactor is only permitted to live but
three Sundays after being sentenced, I'M
less reprieved or respited by the King.
On the Monday morning at o'clock fol-
lowing the third Sunday the sentence is
carried out The executions are strictly
private no one being permitted to be
present except the prison officials and
representatives of the press. Nor are the
relatives of the prisoner allowed to take
the body from the prison 1t is cremated
or buried within the prison walls. The
only evidence the outside world has of the
hanging, until reported in the press, is the
hosting of a black flag, which as soon as
the trap is sprung that sends the soul of
the unfortunate into eternity, is seen
slowly ascending the flag pole on the high
est point of the prison walls. There, as
in the case here, large crowds assemble
around the prison walls and watch with
eager expectancy the hoisting Of the grim
signal that mutely announces the full
fillment Of the laws decree"

COAL BUNKERS FILLED.
Powder Plant Temporarily Suspends
Fuel Shipments.

Coal shipments from Georgetown to the
naval smokeless powder plant on Mat
tawoman creek. Md, have been tempo
rarily discontinued, as all the available
space about the coal tipple at the plant
is filled with the fuel The coal boats
were unloaded at the plant last week and
it is stated that no more will be shipped
for ten days or possibly two weeks
The managers of the powder plant plan
to have several thousand tons of the fuel
constantly on hand SO that should there
come shortage Of coal from the break
ing down of the canal or from other
causes the plant will not be crippled for
want Of fuel. Each fall coal is hurried
to the plant and stored so that when the
canal shuts down the supply on hand will
be sufficient to keep the boilers going
until the freezing weather is over and
the coal can again be brought from Cum
berland to Georgetown.
