Lester Bald ing, who, on the evening of July 11th last, killed bis wife, his moth er-in-law Z and ; Frauls Woodward, and dangerously shot his father-in-law was banged here at 6:20 o' clock this morning. The story, of the execution as told by the Port land Journal is as follows: . : , From dusk last night until 3 o' clock this morning- Lester Belding was in consultation with Father Gartland. From the condemned cell came low words of admonition andfj prayer. They .. were wafted through . the passageway leading to the tank wherein are imprisoned many petty crimioal?. who thanked God that a chance ioc reform exist ed ,;fr them before- the eleventh hOUr. : I - v '; ' . J! At "i o'clock; this, morning Beld ing said he was tired and asked Father Gartland if he had not better eleep awhile. He was assured that sleep was heeded, and throwing himself onto bis cot, be .turned bis face against the cold grey stone wall of his cell, and for nearly two hours slumbered, or pretended Jto. Hard ly a moment passed that the keen eyes of. the death watch were not upon him, fearing that be might in the last moment grow frantic and attempt. to end his life by battering his bead against the grating of his prl80.Il.: j"!-: ,at '.n- tJ 's-.i-,,..- , I f,-; several minutes before 5 o clock, Belding arose ...from, his bed . and called for the priest, who responded at onofe--To him-he.., said - he was ready: for the, last, sacrament. He talked long and earnestly to Father Gartland, and, did rQot ; cease .until breakfast was. breught to him. . He ate his last meal, with, a relish. It consisted of ham and eggs, toast and coffee. : Sheiiff Storey had ask , ed him the night before if there was any luxury. .he desired,.aod be .an swered that all he v wanted was a plain, .substantial break'fast. : . 1 Having finished eating he dressed with great-care, being particular to brush, the new suit of black clothes furnished bim,j Wednesday. When he had 4 nearly com pleted dressing a trusty came from the outer jail saying .that, soma one. bad left a few flowers for him. The hopeless man took into his hand the four or five blossoms and selecting a pare white rose he placed it in the buttonhole of his coat,' saj ing: "White is an emblem of purity is it not, Father?" There was no reply, and again re turning to his bed he sat, upon it, and near by was the priest, ' To gether the two men talked almost in whispers, and - their words , were about the great hereafter. ?; Sheriff . Storey with his deputies entered the jail a few' minutes after 6 o'clock.. , The deputies remained in the outer corridor while the sher iff went to the condemned man's cell and asked Belding if he had a last request to make Hardly an answer did the prisoner make. The sheriff turned away wondering if the man would bear up when - the final: moment came. At this time Deputy Sheriffs Snyder and Frazier were sent to the scaffold to ascertain if every detail was in place. They returned to the jail and reported to the sheriff that all was read y.;r, Tw ? Twenty-twp minutes past 6 o' clock, Sheriff Storey, accompanied by Coroner Finiey, unlocked the iron door to Belding's cell and ask ed if the doomed man would listen to the reading of the death warrant. .MI.. waive it's reading,", said Bal ding in a " low voice. -' Will you have anything to say oh the gallows?" asked the sheriff, "I care to say nothing," was the reply... ;.-:-;.ry:-:.r: '':.," ;. For a few 'moments the sheriff stood looking at the man -who ; was so soon to meet death at the bands of the law. Not a word was spoken by any one. Finally, Sheriff Storey looked at his watch and going close to Belding, said:, "It is time." ' ; Without hesitating the condem ned man stood erect beside his cot, and mii'tered, "Sheriff, I'm'' ready let's go." - ' The procession was formed ' and through the long' corridors of the jail to the scaffold in the vard the triple murderer was led. ; - He walked with a firm step and never faltered when the foot of the awful stairs leading upon the scaffold was reached." There are- two'- traps on that gallows. A year ago Wade and DaltonJ stood side' by 'side upon them. This morning Belding Was led to the one on the right facing the spectators. When he had been placed direct ly in the center of the trap, the four deputies on the scaffold pinioned him securely. ' , . : ' At this time Belding was : tremb ling violently., : "Have; you anything to say?" quickly asked Sheriff Storey. "No! Nothing," muttered the doomed man. ' , Taking the black cap the Sheriff placed it on his head and was in the act of pulling it over his-face when a word from Father Gartland stay ed him. -'y". .' ' - ' Waif," said the priest. ' He poshed the can back from Belding's forehead and unbottoning his eoat took from his breast a email silver crucifix tied about the condemned man's neck with a white ribbon. Father Gartland. raised the cross to Belding s t lips , and said, "In Jesusi" - ' ' ;.v ' ' ' . Belding repeated, "In Jesus." The black cap was hurriedly drawn, the noose adjusted, the signal giv en, ana A. lyester tseidiog bad sat isfied the maj sty of the law. Seventeen minutes after he fell through the trap he, was pronounc ed dead by Dr. H. R. Littlefield and Dr. Edward C. Cotnelius. His body was lowered into a neat coffin bearing a plate emblematic of the crops, it was taken in . charge by Father Gartland and before an hour had passed it was buried in Calvary cemetery. ' " '. : , ,' ; There were about '200 persons who witnessed the execution, and among them were many of a mor bid disposition, for after the dead body had been taken away, some one mounted , tb.e. scaffold and be gan cutting the hangman's rope in to pieces. This man filled his, pock ets with the gruesome mementoes and the rest be threw to the crowd in the yard below. So eager were some persons for the bits of rope by which a man bad .been killed, that a scramble took place in the shadow of, and under the gallows. Greenville,' Miss., March 28.

For six consecutive weeks the woman has hiccoughed continuously, excepting while under the influence of ether. r Some of the best physicians in the city have treated her for this ailment that has brought her al most to the verge- of collapse, al though she was possessed of : more than ordinary physical power, but no permanent cure could be effect ed. :',; "- ' ""' " ,: : - The hiccough resembles the bark of a dog due to the chronic etage the case had reached.- ' ' : Vv ' .' The doctors were a unit in con cluding that nQ specific reason could be assigned for the persistent hic cough. It was suggested that an application . of electricity might bring relief, and after , being remov ed to her home last evening, the suggestion was carried out, with the result that she slept seveial bours, but the 'hiccough returned when she awoke.

The' inspector promised to investigate the matter thoroughly. -- The .plucky "school marm" went to her school, daily and . rang the bell morning and afternoon,, but no students put in an appearance.
