Nord strom was hanged yesterday morning at 9 49 o’clock for the murder, 011 November 27, 1891, of William Mason. From earlv morning the condemned man had seemed to fully realize his position, and while ministers and members of the Salvation Army prayed with him, he cried continually. Shortly after 9 30 Nordstrom was brought from the room in which he had been, just adjoining the execu tion room. It required the assistance of four men to keep him on his feet. When he was taken into the pres ence of the scaffold, he broke down completely. Crying in a childish voice and praying that his life be spared him, he collaps«»! entirely and fell to the floor. Efforts to raise him and keep him on his feet were fruitless, and at last Sheriff Cudihee ordered that a board lx- brought. To this Nordstrom was tied. It required four men to hold him while this was being done. While being tied to the board, Nordstrom continued to cry in a loud voice. The six men who had held him raised his body on the board, and with great effort, succeed ed in getting h'm on the gallows and onto the fatal trap. Here he was stood upright, four of the men stand ing on the four sides of the trap and holding him. Within two seconds after the condemned man was in place the trap was sprung and Nord strom had ,iaid the penalty of his crime. The trap was sprung ut 9:49, and Nordstrom was pronounced dead at 10 02. TO MEET WAR EXPENSES. Columbia Give» Notice That It Will Make Forced Loam. Colon, Aug. 26.—An official decree, dated Bogota, July 18, and addressed to the governors of the departments, was published today. It says: “A new aspect of war, which seems to kindle anew with the help of for eigners who threaten the frontier, places the government under the ne cessity of assuming a different atti tude from that maintained hitherto, and forces it to proceedings which it has previously tried to avoid. “It has been resolved: First, to suspend the payment of all accounts for war material pending, and to limit the expenses to the payment of the armed force and the adminis tration ; secondly, to proceed to ex- propiiate al! the necessary elements for the feeding, equipment and mo bilizing of the army; thirdly, to levy forced and voluntary loans, accord ing to circumstances, and to impose war contributions in order to meet the expenses of each department without depending upon the national capital. “The governors are hereby amply authorized to proceed in these matters according to the requirements of the case, and each governor must assume the responsibility in order to save the situation within his territory.’” TO PREVENT SMUGGLING. Chine»« Bound for Other Countrie» Will Not Be Allowed to Lend. Washington, Aug. 24.—The de termination of the treasury depart ment to take advantage of the author ity given by the Chinese exclusion act to regulate the tiansit through the United States of Chinese emigrants bound for other countries was today officially brought to the attention of the Chinese legation. The occasion presented itself when ail attache of the legation called upon Assistant Secretary Taylor to lay before him a message received from the Chinese consul at San Francisco, conveying the information that Chinese destined for Mexico had Ix-en refused the privi lege of landing at that port, Mr. Taylor told the attache that the department had become con vinced that most of the Chinese who had gone into Mexico in the past two or three years had smuggled them selves back across the I-order into tin I nited States. He therefore an nounce«! that hereafter the depart ment would refuse landing permission to Chinese bound for Mexico unless it could be absolutely satisfied of their good faith. Fait Train Wrecked. Jacksonville, Ill., Aug. 22.—The fast Kansas City passenger train 'on the Alton road was wrecked at mid night at Prentice, asiding eight miles north of here, by running into a freight.

At the Limon river, where an American company employs 3<M) men, one morning only 15 were found on the premises. The Gift of Chile.
