Grant’ s Pass, July 5.— Lemuel W.
Melson was executed here today, lie
abandoned all hope yesterday, and was
taken into the Episcopal church and
baptized by
Rev.
Isaac Dawson.
He 8|ient the day in reading and
in writing letters, aud was more calm
than any one else about the jail. He
slept well last night and ate a hearty
breakfast this morning. He refused to
discuss the crime or his position, saying
only when asked that lie was innocent.
He was very much affeoted by the
church ceremonies und the singing, and
wept quietly.
There was a great many people in
town to witness the hanging. Sheriff
Hiatt issued 100 invitations, and Ice-
sides those in the enclosed space the
court-house yard is well filled. The
board fence around the scaffold is so
constructed that a good view of the pro­
ceedings eau be had from the main
yard ami street. About 500 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 9:40, 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:
“ I am guilty of killing Perry, and
am sorry lor it. May God have mercy
on my guilty soul.”
Melson was perfectly composed and
calm, lie hid 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
nounced dead by the physicians anil cut
down. He will be buried in the pau­
per graveyard at the expense of tho
couuty. He wrote a long letter to his
wife yesterday.

New York, July 6.— P issengers who
arrived tonight on the steamship Al-
lianca tell a lmrrowii g story of their
experience aboard t V i Pacific Mail
steamer City of Para, Inch left Pana­
ma for San Francisco May 13 last. It
seems that three duvs after clearing
the isthmus yellow ¡'ever broke out
among the crew an 1
mongers of the
Pacific liner, which mused a panic
aboard, and resulted in the death of
the commander of the vessel. Captain
Martersen. Three-fourths of the pas­
sengers, it is said, were attacked by the
disease, and at least a dozen found wa­
tery graves. When the vessel finally
reached San Francisco, the facts of the
terrible voyage were suppressed, and
the sickness and deaths were attributed
to tropical dysentery. But the passen
gers who came here tonight say that
the symptoms were plainly those of yel­
low fever.
The disease was raging on the isth­
mus, but when tho passengers went on
board the City of Para they were told
by tho officers that they need have no
fear. There was no effort at fumiga­
tion, ami when Mrs. Captain Mitchell,
wife of an Englishman commanding one
of the vessels of the Chilean line, ap­
peared on the City of Para, heavily
veiled, there was no uneasiness. Three
days out she died from the so-called
tropical dysentery. She was buried at
fea, and the next to be taken down was
Captain Martersen.
Before he died,
the fever hail spread all over the ship.
In the first cabin and steerage alike the
yellow death went, and how many were
prostrated will probably never be
known. Tho officers suppressed every
scrap of news they could, and Dr. Ren-
ein insisted on his original diagnosis.
At Punta Arenas, the Eoheveria fam­
ily, one of the richest in Costa Rica,
took passage on the City of Para, not
knowing that yellow jack was raging
on board. The vessel proceeded on its
voyage. Up the coast there were two '
or three funerals a day, and those who
were not affetced were panic-stricken.
After much pleading, a number ol
passengers were put ashore at Corinto
nnd Saji Jose de Guatemala. It is al­
leged that the officers of the vessel sup­
plied the passengers with spoiled meat,
and this is believed to have aijed tho
yellow fever to spread.
A t San ’ Salvador, a '"band /’ came
aboard, anti while the passengers were
still sick and dying, the musicians
gave five-hour concerts daily.

New York, July 5.— Thirty men nar­
rowly escaped death in the boiler-room
of the monitor Puritan. That they
were not sealded to death is tine to the
presence of mind of one of the crew.
The Puritan ia moored at the foot
of the main street o f the Brooklyn
navy-yard, and has been undegoing re­
pairs to her boilers. The repairs had
been completed and the inen were only
putting on the-finishing touches ut 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 giveu a thorough
test, of the vessel had been ordered to
sea lor 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, hut the
aa.'U continued to work. Then a sharp
report and a flood o f hot water and
steum 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 tho engine-
rooms Chief Engineer Cowie, of tlie
Puirtan, who heard the report of the
explosion, rushed into the room. Cowie
made several attempts to get to the
valves, but was held back i>y Wilson.
When the steam was nearly exhausted
the valves were closed, but not until
Cowie had been burned about the head
and neck. The injured were attended
by the ship’s surgeon.
The cause of the accident was tlie
Idotving out of tiio crown sheet in one
of the boilers. It was u miracle, the
officers say, that none of the men were
killed or greater damage done to the
vessel. As it is* the monitor will have
to remain at the yard for some time,
so the boilers can be put in trim.

Ouaymas, Sonora, July 5.— A sensa­
tional double suicide has ocurred here.
Senor l lodomito Maytoremi, a widely
known and |xipular young man, had
been engaged for some time to Sonorità
Am|x>ra Ynigo, the daughter of an
equally aristocratic family. Another
suitor found more favor in the eyes of
her stepmother than did young May to­
rcila, 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 tixik two pistols,
one in each hand, pressed each to his
temples ami fired two halls, 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.
