I W( Mdm, til Mnrderer, Bxaeataal
at Graate Paae.
Grant's Pass, Jnly "6. Lemuel W.
Melson was executed here today. He
abandoned all hope yesterday, and wai
ten into the Episcopal church and
baptized by Rev. Isaac Dawson.
He spent the day In reading and
in writing letters, and was more calm
than any one else about the JaiL He
slept well last night and ate a hearty
breakf tst this morning. He refused to
discuss the crime or his position, saying
only when asked that he was innocent
He was very much affected by the
church ceremonies and the singing, and
wept quietly. -
There was a great many people in
town to witness the hanging. Sheriff
Hiatt issued 100 invitations, and be
sides those in the enclosed space the
court-house yard is well filled. The
board fence around the scaffold is sc
constructed that a good view of the pro
ceedings can be had from the main
yard and street. About 600 people wit
nessed the execution.
Rev. Dawson went into the jail at
8:45 this morning. Melson made a full
confession of the crime. Sheriff Hiatt
had the death warrant at 8:40, and at
10:03 Rev. Dawson , prayed his last
prayer .
At 10:01 Sheriff Hiatt and his depu
ties, with Melson, ascended the scaf
fold. When asked if he had anything
to say, Melson said:
"1 am guilty of killing Perry, and .
am sorry for it. May God have mercy '
ou my guilty soul." j
Melson was pertectiy composed ana
calm. He bid the sheriff good-bye,
and at 10:13 the drop was sprung. Mel
son's neck was broken and death was
instantaneous. At 10:22 he was pro-,
uonnced dead by the physicians and cut
down. He will be buried in the pau- (
11 per graveyard at the expense of the ,
xnrnty. He wrote a long letter to his
",fe yesterday.

Indiana Drank Painkiller.
Brainerd, Minn., July 6. Five In
dians, including Chief Wee Sug, are
dead at Malone's Point, on Mille Lacs
lake, and several others are expected to
die, as the result of drinking painkiller,
hair oil and other preparations contain
ing alcohol. Indian payment has been
going on there, and the redskins gorged
' themselves with this stuff, which was
bought from Malone's trading post.
The Indian riders are scouring every
part of the reservation to bring the
band together, and serious trouble may
result, as the redskins think Malone is
to blame for the deaths.
It has been computed that between
86,000,000 and 37,000,000 babies arrive

WEYLER WANTS MORE MEN.
Will Demand Sixty Thousand
Atltll
tlonal Troopa. -
New York, July 5. A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Ha
vana says:
General Weyler will require at least
60,000 more troops to conquer the east
ern provinces and hold them for Spain.
Colonel Garauiendi, a member of Vey
ler'a general staff, and private secre
tary to the commander in chief, will
go to Madrid this week, the bearer of
confidential dispatches to Premier Can
ovas and the Spanish war department,
in which the demand is made for 00,
000 additional recruits.
. All regular troops that can be spared
from Pinar del Rio, the western tro
cha, Havana, Matanzas and Santa
Clara districts, are being concentrated
at Sftneti Spiritus, where Weyler has
directed the immediate organization of
14 columns, at the head of which he
will try to drive Gomez across the new
trocha and invade Puerto Principe
province, where Calixte Garoia's forces
are said to be massing.
Weyler expects a great pitched bat
tle when he meets Garcia, the result of
which may be the turning point in the
war. Should Weyler's army meet
with defeat, Spain will then be ready
to listen to President McKinley's offers
of intervention. If Spain wins, and
Garcia is routed, Weyler will assume a
magnanimous lole, proclaim general
amnesty, and offer the Cubans complete
autonomy and full personal and polit
ical guarantees under the Spanish -flag.
Should these overtures be refused, it is
predicted that the war of extermination
will be waged to the bitter end.

Serious Flooda in Roumanla.
London, July 8. A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Brail, the principal
port of Roumania, says that 20,000 in
habitants of Galatz, in Moldavia, on
the left bank of the Danube, between
the confluence of the Sooth and Pruth
with that river, are homeless, as a re
sult of recent floods. - Most of them are
destitute also, and are camping in the
streets, and are fed by the military.

CLOSE CALL FOR JACK TARS.
thirty Men Hoalded ou Board of tha
Monitor I'arltan.
New York, July 6. Thirty men nar
rowly escaped death in the boiler-room
of the monitor Puritan. That they
were not scalded to death is due to the
presence of mind of one of the crew.
The Pnritan is moored at the foot
of the nrain street of the Brooklyn
navy-yard, and has been undegoing re
pairs to her boilers. The repairs had
been completed and the men were only
putting on the finishing touches at the
time of the explosion. Orders had been
given to start the fire under the boilers,
and get up steam, so that both engines
and kboilers could be given a thorough
test, as the vessel had been ordered to
sea for target practice.
Engineers were in the engine-room,
giving instructions to firemen. There
was suddenly a slight hissing sound of
escaping steam in the room, but the
m?n oontinned to work. Then a sharp
report and a flood of hot water and
s.eam from one of the boilers started
them to their feet. In an instant the
room was filled with steam that was so
dense the men could hardly see.
When the burst of steam came from
the boiler August Wilson, the boiler
maker, in charge, ordered the men to
get out ot the room. Wilson was the
last to get out, and while he was trying
to find the entrance to the engine
rooms Chief Engineer Cowie, of the
Pnirtan, who heard the .report of the
explosion, rushed into the room. Cowie
made several attempts to get to the
valves, but was held back by Wilson.
When the steam was nearly exhausted
the valves were closed, but not until
Cowie had been burned about the head
by the 'Btiip'a surgeon,

New York, July 5. A speoial to the
Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, says:
If the government does not soon take
steps to better the condition of the
working olasses throughout Chile, there
will be a dark, despairing outlook in
store for them. The Heraldo here says
the closure of the engineering estab
lishments will cause others to follow
and leave more than 1,000 working
men's families exposed to hunger. It
adds that this may cause the paralyza
tion of several nitrate establishments in
Tarapaca province, throwing 1,800 men
in the streets and causing the stoppage
of all building work throughout Chile.
Workingmen are preparing to hold a
monster meeting next Sunday to pro
test against the delay of congress in
discussing the reform cnstoniB tariff
law', which has been submitted to that
body. The workingmen will also pro
test against the idle political discus
sion in congress on the resolution ( f
the government railway directors to
order five locomotives from the United
States after having promised to protect
the national industries.
Could Not Live Apart.
Ouaymas, Sonora, July 5. A sensa
tional double suicide has ocurred here.
Senor (.lodomiro Maytorena, a widely
known and popular young man, had
been engaged for some time to Senorita
Ampora Ynigo, the daughter of an
equally aristocratic family. Another
suitor found more favor in the eyes of
her stepmother than did young Mayto
rena, and the latter was notified to
cease paying his visits.
This led to clandestine meetings, and
when a mutual friend attempted to in
terfere, a personal encounter resulted.
For this the young man was about to
be arrested when he took two pistols,
one in each hand, pressed each to his
temples and fired two balls, both enter
ing the brain. When the shocking
news was conveyed to the young lady
she took poison, and is reported to
have since died.

The Effort Failed.
Washington, July 5. The Republi
can managers of the tariff bill have
been making an effort on the floor of
the senate to secure a unanimous agree
ment to take a vote on the tariff bill
tomorrow. The opposition declines to
agree upon any date until the proposed
amendments are in. The Democrats
say they hesitate out of caution to pro
vide against a possible surprise.

Some 18 years ago the flock owners of
Australia, finding that there was a fair
market in England for canned mutton,
determined to try the experiment of ex
porting the fresh-killed meat in a
frozen state. Sheep which had been
bred with a view to. producing wool
rather than for table use, did not at
first find favor with the publio, besides
which an occasional breakdown in
the refrigerating machinery often ren
dered the experiment an expensive one
for the shipper. New Zealand sheep
were found to be of a muoh better
quality, and by degrees difficulties were
surmounted and prejudioes overcome
until New Zealand mutton has become
as common an object in London meat
markets as the home-grown article.
Owing to the'difference in the seasons
on the other side of the eauator, Iambs
are ready for export about Christmas
time, so that they can be placed on
the London market earlier in the season
than those raised at home. The oar
casses are first cooled and then slightly
frozen on shore; they are then trans
ferred to a dry chamber on board ship,
where the temperature is steadily main
tained at a few degrees below freezing.
On their arrival in port they are
again transferred to a oold-storage
chamber and kept there until wanted.

good local story, which will be appre

parties.
A genuine Britisher was In Cleveland
some time ago, the guest of a promi
nent citizen. The latter was bout on
entertaining his visitor to the bent that
was going, and In honor of the close
of his visit gave a little banquet at the
Ilollcnden.
Everything; was of the nicest, and
the party enjoyed Itself hugely. When
the evening's festivities were under full
headway, the honored guest happened
to notice the china. It was of Bngllah
manufacture, and each piece was mark
ed with an "H" for Ilollouden. It gave
the visitor a text for ft few characteris
tic Anglo-Saxon remarks.
"You're a bloomtn' country," be said,
"but so young an' 'elpless. Why, every
thing we 'ave In old England Is supe
rior, don't you know, to what you
chaps produce. You cawn't compete
with the mother country, you kuow.
Why, you even 'ave to come to us for
the very chlnyware that covers this
table. That's right, by Jove! It's queens
wore"' "Yes," said one of the diners with a
delicious drawl, "and you'U notice It's
sprinkled with the 'H's' you English
men have dropped over here," ,
A smile ran round the table In which
the honored gucttt did not Join. I t was

About bC month after this feast the

friend, who had returned home.
"Say," the letter road, "that was a

Among those who kuow the editor of
the New York Herald there Is a catch
phrase that "James Gordon Bennett
never makes a mistake." It would fare
ill with a Herald man who should dis
pute this phrase It Is a fact that he
makes few errors, and also that he
never acknowledges one. Onceac
cording to an unverified story when
he was home at Christmas time he
went to his club for dinner. It was his
custom to give the waiter a dollar.
When the dinner was finished he
thought to surprise the servitor, who
had been unusually acceptable in his
attentions. From his waistcoat pock
et, In which were twb little rolls of
bills, Mr. Bennett took one and hand
ed It over, apparently thinking It con
tained five one-dollar notes.
When the waiter looked at his money
after Bennett had gone and found that
It contained five $1,000 notes he was
really frightened and gave the roll to
the steward. A few days later, when
Mr. Bennett next visited the club, the
roll was tendered to htm with the ex
planation by the waiter that a mistake
was evidently made. Bennett never
looked at the money, but, staring the
waiter Indignantly In the face, declar
ed: "James Gordon Bennett makes no
mistakes," and walked away.
No Canae for It.

Franklin'a Baqnaat In Court.
If Benjamin Franklin, one of the
wisest of men, could have foreseen the
difficulties and complications that have
grown out of his famous bequest to the
city of Boston of $5,000, more than 100
years ago, he would probably have can
celled that part of the will, or at least
made its provisions very different, re
marks the Buffalo Commercial. The
fund, which now amounts to 1348,000,
has been invested mainly as he direct
ed. At the end of the first hundred
years the prinoipal was to be laid out at
the discretion of the managers of the
donation to the town of Boston, "in
publio works whioh may be Judged of
most utility to tho inhabitants, such as
fortifications, bridges, aqueducts, pub
lio buildings, baths, pavements, or
whatever may make living in the town
more convenient to its people and ren
der it more agreeable to strangers re
sorting thither for health or temporary
residence." The money is in the Bos
ton oity treasury, but it appears the
mnnioipal authorities and the trustees
are at loggerheads as to their , respec
tive powers, and also as to the method
of Its expenditure, and as a last resort
the matter has been carried to the
courts. An application Is to be made to
the supreme court of Massachusetts to
decide who has authority under the will
to expend the money in one of the sev
eral ways , suggested by the testator.
It is to be hoped a way out of tho diffi
culty will be found and that the fund
will be used to establish, the Franklin
trades school, as has been proposed. It
is one of the most remarkable . legacies
ever made, and the benevolent intent
is plain enongh, though perhaps not ex
pressed in sufficiently definite terms.
Burled the Wrong Corpse.
Fairplay describes the following as a
true story: Lately an English family
had the misfortune to lose an aged
aunt, who died in St, Petersburg. Ar
rangements were most carefully made
and directions sent that the body should
be forwarded to England to be interred
in the family vault. In due time a
magnificent coffin arrived and before it
was lowered to Its last resting place it
was opened for inspection. Muoh to
the dismay of the family, instead of
finding the familiar features and frail
form of their beloved aunt, the corpse

New Use for Band Blast.
The sand blast has frequently been
adapted to a number of ingenious op
erations, and the latest phase of its
utility is in the cleansing ol ships' bot
toms. The Atlanta, one of the United
States men-of-war, was recently dry
docked and by means of compressed air
sand was forced against the sides of the
vessol, cleansing and polish! ihe iron
