is told that having been caught wiih

while the United Slates, under a
protectionist policy, is able to bring

Canada, under a free trade policy,
goes to England to borrow mouey,

Tbe Mail wants some one to explain
how it is that, while under the bur

war, the protectionist United Stales
pays off three hundred millions cf
debt in seven years, and brings dow n
her debt interest from C to 4 per cent,
Canada, with something nearly ap

It was stated tbat Mr. McClellan,
killed in the attack on the Chisolm
family, was a British subject, but the
industrious defenders of the killing
have discovered that McClellan serv
ed as a volunteer in tbe Confederate
army, and tbat afterward, when he
sought to evade conscription on the
ground that he was a British subject,
the British Consul at Mobile, refused
to allow bim protection. And they
report further tbat on the day of the
Chisolm murders "he was threaten
ing and obtrusive on Chisolm's be
half." Commenting on this phase of
the case, the New York Times says :
"This is considered in Mississippi as
conclusive of tho whole case. Hav
ing served in the rebel army he for
feited the protection of the British
Government Having been threaten
ing aud obtrusive on Chisolm's behalf,
be forfeited the right to live in Mis
sissippi. At tbe Mahattan Club reception
gotten up a few day since, to glorify
tbe defeated Democratic nominees
for rresident and Vice President,
Mr. Tilden took occasion to unburden
his mind of iu woes in regard to his
personal grievances. Among other
things, he is reported to have said :
"ErrrybwlT know that alter tlie recent election

A greater number of false state
ments could not have possibly been
put into tbe same space. A greater
Blander could not have been uttered
upon the character of a people. No
body was elected by the people.
Electors were chosen by them, a
plan for counting tbeir votes , was
greed upon by Congress, and the
result declared by them was that
Messrs. Hayes and Wheeler bad 185
votes and Messrs. Tilden and Hen
dricks bad 1S4 votes.
The men who were elected were
counted in and seated under the
plain provisions of a plan which a
large majority of Democrats in both
House of Congress approved and
adopted, and "everybody knows"
that Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks
were not elected. Moreover sot a
Northern State gave its votes hon
estly for Tilden and Hendricks, and
none of the Southern States except
Texas and those on the border. North
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and
Arkansas were Republican on an
honest vote, and tbe Democratic
leaders having failed to corrupt or
intimidate the Republican majority
ia South Carolina, Florida and Louis
iana, attempted to bribe the Hayes
and Wheeler electors after they had
been chosen. And yet in the face of
(his record, now historical, Mr. Til
den who was not chosen by the
electors, or elected by the people, and
mho attempted to steal a vote from
Oregon, has tbe mendacity to pub
licly assert that "every bodys knows"
that be was counted out '
TriENew O.-leass Time says of
Mr. Tilden: "Mr. Tilden can pa;S
on to oblivion wilbout anxiety. The
people of lbs hamlets know the duty
of a patriot as well if not bettar than
be, and will do it quite aa well with
out his voice as with it" If says
further thai ,Mr. Tilden's space in
history .will be a brief paragraph
giving the name of an unucesful
candidate, who immediately after-j
ward fell into tbe olFcntity allotted to j
failures.

I knew our Minister had made ar

and had accepted for me a few invi

surprise to find nearly all the fchip-
i-iug in port at Liverpool aecoratcu
with flairs of all nations, and irom me
mainmast of each tho flag of the Un

docks were lined with as many of the
population as could find standing
room, and the streets to the hotel
where it was understood my party
would stop were packed. The dem
onstration was, to all appearances, as
heartv and as enthusiastic as ia Phil
adelphia on our departure. Tbe May

to convey us to tho hotel, and after
that to bis beautiful country resi-

dav a large nartv was given at the

citv. at which there were some one
hundred and fifty of the distinguish
ed citizens and officials of the corpo
ration present. Pressing invitations
were sent from most of the cities in
the kingdom to have me vibit them.
I accepted for a day at Manchester,
and stopped a few moments at Leic
ester and at one other placo. The
same hearty welcome was shown at
each place, as yoa have no uoubt
seen. The press of the ountry has
teen exceedingly kind and courteous.
So far I have not baen permitted
to travel in a regular train, much less
in a common car. Tbe Midland road,
which penetrates a great portion of
the island, including Wales and Scot
land, have extended to me the cour
tefy of their road and Pullman car
to take me wherever I wish to go
during tbe whole of ray stay in Eng

I found our minister had accepted

PoTTsviiXK, Pa , June 21. The
weather this morning at daybreak
was dull and heavy, and beforo 8
o'clock a drizzling rain began to fall,
without, however, diminishing the
crowd already in waiting outsido tbe

the town became the rendezvous for
gronp3 of pedestrains from all parts
of tho neighboring country. In con
sequence of some delay the parties en
titled to admission to too jau at o
o'cloek were compelled to remain in
waiting oa tbe outside for more than
half an hour. Meanwhile the imme
diate relatives of tho condemned took
their last farewell.
The scene was a trying one. Tbe
brother and two 6isters of Roarity
were admitted at C o'clock, and soon
after the aged and impoverished
father of Munley, who had walked to
tho prison all the way from Gilberton.
a distance of thirteen miles. Several
of the relatives of the others, not hav
ing applied at the appointed time,
were not admitted.
To each of the doomed men was
assigned a clergyman, who attended
bis charge throughout. The rever
end gentlemen were in attendance at
tho cells of the men at dawn this
morning, and afterward assisted ia
tbeir celebration of mass in a private
apartment The clergymen were the

Govern, Martin Walsh and Philip
Bcrcsford But three of the doomed
mem were present at .one time, and
tbe religions services being repeated
at 8 o'clock in the presence of the
others. All access to the men by
others than the Sheriff and his assist
ants and tbe snirituo.1 advisers was
scrupulously avoided. Tbey arc re
ported to have passed the night well,
and at the usual time breakfast was
served for each, though this was bare
ly touched bv any of them. Carroll,
Munley and Roarity expressed their
eagemes.3 to die, and were
apparently calm and resigned. TLe
last named this morning received
a letter from bis father
urging him to turn his thoughts
heavenward, aud while admonishing
him of bis parents' belief minis inno
cence, advising him to confess the
truth before God and the world. Tbe
arrangement by Sheriff Werner was
that two executions should take place
at one moment, and tho simultane
ous execution of the other four half
an hour later, the two having prs-
cedence to Boyle and McGeenaa.
At 10 o'clock an almost uninter
rupted lino of people holding ad
mission cards was passing through
the front prison gates. Ibis was
mado up in varying proportions of
local and visiting officials, many
Schuylkill county physicians, about
fifty journalists, representing every
newspaper in tbe county and the
leading journals of the large cities.
The Sheriffs, deputies, members of
the juries and a detachment of tbe
coal and iron police force made up a
total of about one hundred and fifty
persons. Tbe multitude made their
way to the jail yard and spent the
interval prior to the banging ia dis
cussing in groups tbe all absorbing
topic of tbe executions. Tho site of
tho gallows was in the furthest ex
tremity of the vard from the usual
place of entrance, and was plainly
visible from the coavicU' cell win
dows, fronting it on three sides.
These cells, however, appeared to be
unoccupied. Tbe high stone outer
wail of the yard was within a few
feet of the rear of tbe scaffolds, a
frame structure for the temporary
deposit of tbe bodies of tbe victims
intervening. The scaffolds them
elves which immediately adjoined
esch other, were ruddy but substan
tially constructed each being sup
plied with two banging ropes, though
upon but one only these were visible.
the ethers being coiled up and con
cealed ia a gum covering thrown
ever the cross beam above. It was
currently reported that Duffy, one
of the Yost murderers, had at tbe
last moment, received tbe Executive
clemency in too shape of a reprieve
deferring his immediate execution.
Tbe rumor, however, was not con
firmed. Duffy was tbe man in re
venge for whose beating by Police
man Yost, the latter was murdered.
Tbe only witness against him on tbe
trial was Jimmy Kerrigan, nod the
suspicion attaching to tbe evidence
of an accomplice, when not corrobo
rated, was the plea upon which his
friends alleged the interposition cf
tbe Governor would bo made. 1 lis
case before the Pardoning Board re
ceived more consideration than tbat
of the others, the vote upon it being
a tie.
The presence of the Governor's
privjte secretary, Mr. Chester N.
Parr, who was among those present,
may have given rise to the report
The brother of Duffy wat also pres
ent. Outside the prison tbe crowds
of curious spectators, increased from
the small groups ot the early morn
ing to thousands occupying tbe en
tire street
After several hours of patient
waiting the witnesses of the execu
tion gradually closed up close to tbe
outstretched rope, extending from
one end of the yard to tbe other,
which barred intrusion npon tbe re
served space in front of tbe gallows.
The relatives end friends of several
of tbe men were allowed to remain
to witness the dread spectacle. At
10:50 o'clock the creaking of the iron
gate at the opposite end of tbe yard
caused all eyes to be turned thither.
Ten minutes later a mournful pro
cession appeared and wended its way
along the pavement towards the scaf
fold. Two cf the condemned were
brought out, McGeeban and Boyle,
accompanied by Sheriff Werner and
Deputy Sheriff John Snyder, and at
tended each by a clergyman. Mc
Goehan, with Father Martin Walsh.

came first; and Boyle, with Father
Beresford, ol Port Carbon. Tbe re
mainder of the cortege consisted of
tbe under-kecper of the prison, Moses
Innis, and Doctors Salladay and
Layer, of Fremont, prison physicians.
The doomed men, with tbeir attend
ants, walked quickly, but neither gave
the least indication of trepidation or
apprehension. The entire cortege
mounted the stcj of tbo Ecaffold
nearest in their course, aud proceeded
to the farthest of tho tbree.upor. which
only were visible the suspended
nooses. The Sheri.ff physicians and
under-keeper remained on the plat
form adjoining, with the deputy Sher
iff at the top of tho steps on the other
Fide. Tho doomed murderer.? in the
centre, with the officiating priests,
mado up the mournful picture. Upon
taking their places the Catholic ritual
service, which had been beguu when
the men left their cells, was resumed
by the clergymen, Boyle and Me-
Gcthan glviog the responses in unn
and audible -toues. TJie demeauor of
Boyle at this time, and until tbe drop
fell, was one of entire self-possession.
Tbe degree of nerve displayed by
both men, particularly Boyle, was
extraordinary. At times bis manner
seemed to indicate a feeling of utter
indiffcrono to tbo surroundings.
Ilia composture was evidently real
and not aspumetl ; and as the religious
services proceeded he occasionally
inhaled tbo perfume of a beautiful red
rose which he held in his hand and
applied to bis nostrils. McGeehao's
bearing was that of a sincere and con
trite penitent. He appeared to real
ize his awful situation, and repeated
ly looked pleadinely to heaven as if
relying upon tho liivine power. 1 he
man kissed the priests and shook
hands with the Sheriff. Boyle re
sponded tn a remark of bis attending
priest with "I ain't a bit sorry."
McGeeban, in response to aa intima
tion that he wa3 at liberty to say
anything he desired, at once address
ed the audience assembled, liis re
marks were literally as follows:
"Gentlemen I have nothing at all
to say to yoa about my guilt or in
noceoce, nor about them that left me
in here, or them that done anything
else to me. I only ask forgiveness
of the whole world, if I havo done a
wrong to them, and Almighty God
may forgive all Christians, and all
them that he ever created in this
world, for the sake of forgiviug my
sins."
Here the speech was ended, its
concluding portion having been deliv
ered iu a somewhat tremulous,
though firm and vigorous, tones.
Boyle now adrcssed tbe crowd
wilbout symptoms of emotion: "I
have nothing to say, gentlemen, only
pretty much in the same way; noth
ing as regards guilt or innocence. I
forgi"e those that put me here; I for
give them from my heart out, and
hope they will forgive me; I forgive
all this world." McGeeban, with a
supplicating look heavenward, here
supplemented bis remarks by fervent
ly exclaiming, "I have done all that
is in my power to save my soul; any
thing at all I could do I have done,
and I trust ia God. If there is any
sin in my soul I have not cleared off
God will make mo suffer for it here
now. I offer up this death tbat I
have to die to God for the sake of
Him to forgive me my eias. I have
nothing more to say."
With tbe conclusion of the speech
es an awkward pauso ensied, the of
ficials not knowing whether to pro
ceed immediately. The last good
byes, however were soon said, and
the process of pinioning the srms and
legs of the men commenced. Stout
leather straps poon encircled the
limbs of both men, both meantime
calmly surveying the preparations,
and McGeeban occasionally murmur
ing a prayer and gazing intently
into the blue ethereal above him, evi
dently with bis mind no longer on
earthly things. ' As tbe noose was
bein adjusted around bis neck, be
exclaioiiuied : "Christ, have mercy
on me! Lord, have mercy on me!"
Both noose J were then tightened;
the crucifix, which had been held by
the priest closely to MeGeeban's face,
withdrawn, his eyes meanwhile fol
lowing it in supplication, and ail on
the scaffold retired At eleven min
utes after eleven tho diop fell, and
both the murderers bung suspended.
McGeehan's weight being much the
heavier, caused tbe rope to give
about six iucbes, though it was an
inch and a-half shorter thaa Boyle's.
Boyle died nlmoEt instantly, while
McGeeLau gave symptoms of life for
some sixteen minutes after tbe fall
At twenty -eight minutes after eleven
o'clock the bodies were taken down
by undertakers Gresan,? and Kur
racher, and removed to the shedding
ia the rear as their temporary recep
tacle. The execution in all its do
taiU was apparently conducted sym
pathetically, without a loud word
being spoken by the crowd io the
yard.
EXECUTIONS OF UOAU1TV anucarholl.
At six minutes after twelve o'cloek
the Sheriff, his Deputy, the prison
keeper and the prison physician, with
two moro of the condemed, appeared
at the iroa gateway, and soou reap
peared at the ga!Iow3. The men
brought out to die were James Roar
ity and James Carroll. Tbe first
was attended by Rev. M. J. Gately,
of Potts vi lie, while Father Beresford
appeared a3 tbe spiritual comforter of
Carroll. Both of the men carried, in
a position immediately before bis
breast, a large black cross, with a
white worked body of the Saviour.
Both seemed perfectly composed and
prepared to die. No trembling was
visible, and, like their immediate
predecessors on the gallows, the ap
pearance of neither gave much indi
cation of severe confinement As the
mortuary service was .held by the
priests, the men standing npon the
fatal trap door gazed fixedly at tbe
crucifix, Roarity occasionally heav
ing a deep sigh or glancing at the
windows of tbe cells near oue end of
the gallows where the juries of the
Sheriff had been stationed. Bidding
the Sheriff good-bye, Roarity added,
"May God bless you." Immediate
ly prior to the piniouing of the men
both obtained a whispered permis
sion to msko any remarks tbey desir
ed. Roarity was the first "to take
advantage of the privilego, and mak
ing a step forward, with a voice clear
and resolute, delivered some remark.
His language and words showed
something of the strain upon his fac
ulties caused by his terrible posi
tion. His remarks, thongb perfectly
audible, were disconnected. His
evideni purpose was if possible to
save tbo lives of Duffy, Boyle and
McGeeban, the latter of whom is al
ready stiff and cold in death. He
said: "Well, gentlemen, I wan't to
talk a feT words. It is only a fow
words, I stand to-day before the
public, and I most say tbe truth for
wem. i don't know whether they
are gone, whether they are to come
after me or not. Thomas Duffy has
been convicted for giving me $10 for
shooting of a man I never saw, shoot
ing him jn Tamaqua, until I saw his
name in the paper. Thomas Daffy,
I hope, I am going to meet my Lord,
and Thomas Daffy is a man that (I
wont say for fear I might be lying) I
never seen him the third time before
I saw him ia Pottsvillejail, aud what
I can say for him is this, I never
heard bim talking about Benjamia .
Yost, nor about tbe shooting affair,
nor anything concerning tho thing at
all, and another thing I may say for
McGcehan and Boyle, I may say I
never asked them to come to shoot
Benjamin F. Yost nor any other
man. If they are to come after me
let them say so. I cat satisfied and
I hopo forgiveness from tbe world ;
from everybody. I hope they will
forgive mo That's all I bate to
say." -
At this pom the crowd looked up
at Carroll, who was quietly awaiting
his fate without betraying any spe
cial emotion, either of contrition or
! despair. In appearance he was the
most intelligent and digniued looking
among the half doxen murderers, ap
parently conscious of the hollowness
of professions among tbo gallows,
and appreciating his terriblo death
hour. Carroll merely uttered, with
calmness, "I have nothing to say,
srcntlemen. only. I am innocei.t of
the crime I am charged with."
Here Roarity broke in again with
tbo remark, "Well, that is a hat I for
got ; excise me, gentlemen ; that is
another word. I forgot that I was
going to die an innocent man. I for
got to put that io." Here the doom
ed man's voice grew tremulous "But
I hope it is good for me, and as to
them tbat prosecuted me and brought
me to this place, I forgive them from
the bottom of my heart I hope God
will forgive them and forgive me
too."
Carroll made no attempt tc pro
long the remarks apparently inter
rupted by his associate, but improv
ed the opportunity when seizing tbe
proffered hand of the Sheriff in
a last farewell,
to whisper in bis ear a few hurried
parting words. Carroll was tho on
ly one of the victims of the day who
did oot bear in bis haod or upon his
person a flower of some color. Tbe
lappel of McGeehan's coat was dec
orated with two full-blown roses, one
red and one white. Boyle held a
rose in his hand, whilo Duffy, ouc of
tho last couple to be bung, carried a
little white flower attached to tbe
coat lappel. When the pinioniog of
the limbs of the doomed men was in
progress, Roarity, recognizing one of
hiscounBei in the crowd shouted,
"Mr. Lavelle, I leave you my bless
ing, and leave it to all my employ
ers." "God bless you Jim," respond
ed the laavyer. Tbe priests now ex
horted tbe men to turn tbeir thoughts
to God. Tbe nooses were tightened
upon their throats, tbe white cap? ad
justed, shutting out from their gaze,
forever, the beautiful blue sky aud all
things human. To tbe last neither
gave the least sign of trepidation,
and, ia the langnage of the prison,
were game to the last. After hang
ing nineteen minutes, and life being'
extinct, the bodies were taken down
and temporarily deposited in the
wooden receptacld behind tbe gallows.
At 1:12 o'clock the members cf tbe
solemn funeral cortege, being the
same in each iastance, except as to
tho clergymen, made their third ap
peaance iu tbe jail yard, this
lime bringing with them
THOMAS MUNLEY AXD THOMAS lUTrY.
The officiating priests were Fathers
Depman and McGovero. Duffy's
turn had evidently been purposely de
ferred as long as possible, ia cotise
quence of a rumored possible reprieve,
lie appeared to realize, however,
that bis time on earth was sbcrt.
The ghastly pallor of his face and
nervous manner contrasted strongly
with the nonctalnnt air and easy de
portment of tbe man Munley, at his
side. The latter, like tb.se who had
gono before him, met hi3 fate with
that apparently callous indifference
which characterized his lite associ
ates ia crime. The same prelimi
naries as in the other cases
were begun and concluded, neither cf
the men indicating any disposition to
make a speech, aud iu a few minutes,
the drop falling at twenty one min
utes after 12 o'clock, Stanley's neck
was broken by the fall. After bang
ing Gfieen minutes the physicians in
attendance declared the bodies to
be lifeless, and Eve minutes later
they were taken down and placed
with those of the other four. An ex
amination by the physicians present
showed that all tbe victims, with the
exception of Munley, whose neck was
dislocated, died ot strangulation.
The bodies of McGt-bau, Boyle and
Duffy will be delivered to tbeir
friends at the late residences of the
deceased. Waldroi, an undertaker,
has been charged with the necessary
arrangements, the remains of the
other three will be handed over to
Holland Kline, undertaker, and will
be buried at tbe expense of the coun
ty. The crowds in front of the jail
gradually diminished, but some five
bundred persons remained around tbe
main entrance a considerable time.
seeming disposed to stay in order to
have a look at the gallows ia tbe
yard. The arrangement throughout
tbe entire scries of executions was
carried out in a prompt and satisfac
tory manner by the officials, and in
view of the extraordinary character
I tbe labor imposed upon him, and
its efficient execution, Sheriff Werner
was warmly congratulated upon i'e
completion. Outside tbe prison
walls during tbe day all was compar
atively quiet, notwithstanding the im
mensity of the crowds that remaiued
in waiting until late in tbo afternoon.
The only arrest reported was tbat of
a drunken woman, who created some
disturbance by an intemperate and
incoherent harangue during the exe
cutions. A man who bad climbed to
the top of an elevation on tbe roof
of a neighboring house succeeded in
getting a tolerable view of tbe interi
or of tbe jail yard, and from bis ele
vated position signalled to the people
below the progress of tbi tragedy
within the walls. His operations be
coming kucwo to tbe Connty Com
missioners, be was instantly com
pelled to descend. Meanwhile tbe
crowd manifested tbe utmost eager
ness to hear the latest report of what
was transpiring within tbe prison,
but in consequence of the stringent
orders ot the Sheriff no communica
tion wiih tho exterior was permitted
until the last tragic act had drawn to
a close.
A STATEMENT LEFT BY CAKUOLL.
The written statement made by
Carroll, one of tbe men executed
here to-day, and placed in the bands
of bis spiritual adviser yesterday,
recites his innocence, and returns
thanks for kindness fbowo him by
various persons. Tbe statement
concludes;
"Now, gentlemen, I do here con
fess to be innocent of the crime tbat
I am charged with. I never wished
for the murder of Yost or any other
person, or I never heard any one say
tbat they wanted mnrder committed,
only Kerrigan, and I heard him ut'lea
say that he would shoot Yost the
firet chance that be got I never
knew Boyle and McGeeban at tbe
time. Now, you can believe Kerri
gan if you cbooso, bat I hope that if
I tave ever wronged any person that
they will forgive me as I forgive
those who haye so falsely belied me.
I, as a dying man, have no animosi
ty toward any person. I hope there
ill ha no reflection thrown on BIT
' friends or family for this."
TUB FOUR EXECUTION AT MAL'CU
CniiNK.
Mai'CH Caunk, June 21. All ar
rangements for tbe execution were
made at 10 o'clock. Shortly afur
tbe deputy sheriffs and reporters and
other assistants entered the corridor.
Tbe Sheriff adjusted the ropes and
called bis assistants to him. Ia a
few miautes Campbell's cell door
was opened and be appeared led by
a priest. He walked quickly to the
scaffold and aseended tho steps with
a light step. Tbe priest read prayers
for tbo dying for some minutes, tbe
prisoner responding and repeatedly
kissing a crucifix, and, turning his
pale face upward, his lips slightly
moved in prayer, Deyle was next
brought out, and be walked up unas
sisted. John Donohoe walked bold
ly out and up tho steps to the scaffold.
Kelly came last, and seemed quite
strong. They were all attended by
a priest None of tbe four evinced
very much nervousness. The priests
prayed for several minutes, the pris
oners kneeling and responding after
tbe priests left the scaffold.
Sheriff Randenbnsh and two assis
tants adju3ted tbe rope, tbe Sheriff
examining eacb prisoner carefully.
When asked if tbey had anything to
sny Campbell replied that he forgave
everybody, and continued, "I have
not au enemy in tbe world at this
motucat." Doyle spoke for some
time, but his words were inaudible,
except to the Sheriff and tbe priests.
Donahue bad nothing to say, and
Kelly recited after tbe priests a p'.ea
for forgiveness.
The Sheriff left the scaffold and in
a-half minute pulled the rope which
left tbe trap fall. The doomed men
fell at 10:54 o'clock. In a moment
the bodies began swinging. Kelly,
Doylo and Campbell died easily ;
Donahue drew himself up and stran
gled lor two inmates. Doyle's heart
ceased to beat in twelve minutes,
Campbell's in fourteen minutes, Don
ah lie's ;u six minutes and Kelly's in
seven minutes. The bodies were cut
down in twenty-five minutes. From
tbe beginning to tbe end there was
not a mishap. The town is very
quiet. All the bodies will leave on

WlLK.EiB.lRRE, P , Ju30 21. Oa
the loth of September, 1874, An
drew Lanbaa met Capt John Riley,
a Democratic politician, at the ad
jouroment of the County Convention
in wuke.soarre, and invited him to
ride home. Riley got into the car
riage, and before tbey had gone half
a square on tbe mam street, Lanahan
drew a revolver and shot him dead.
lie drove furiously through tbe city
to the suburbs, intending to throw
Riley's body ia aa old coal mine, but
he collided witn a heavy wagon,
broke bis carriage and then fled, leav
ing Riley lying in the road. Lana
nau was secreted ia the mines lor a
week, and then managed to elude
the officers and escaped. In Novem
ber, 18T5, he was captured at La
Salle, Illiooi--, tried here at tbe De
cember term of Court, 1875, and
convicted of murder in the first de
gree. Tbe case was carried to tbe
Supreme Court and tbe judgment of
the Court below was affirmed.
After all hope bad fled Lanahan ac
kuowledged tbe killing, bui claimed
tbat being drunk be did not know
why be did it The gallows, which
was used twice before, was erected
io tbe jail yard yesterday. This
morning a crowd began to gather in
tho vicinity of the jail, but none were
admitted except deputies, tbo jury
and reporters, about fifty people in
all At 9:30 o'clock Sheriff Kirken
dalc, with his deputies, arrived. He
proceeded to tbe watchman's room,
where Lanahan bad been brought
from bis cell, and in the presence of
the Catholic priests read the death
warrant to bim. Tho prisoner sat
with a crucifix in his baud and did
not show the slightest tremor. Tbe
Sheriff then left tbe priests and Lan
ahan together until 10:16, when the
prisoner was manacled and tbe pro
cession, beaded by Kevs. O llaran,
Donohue, Nagle and the prisoner,
followed by tbe Sheriff, started for
the gallows. Lanahan carried the
crucifix, looking steadily upon it and
walking firmly. He ascended the
steps in tbe 6ame manner on the gal
lows. Prayer was read by lie v.
O'Haran, Lanahan kneeling and re
peating it after him in a clear tone of
voice. As the prkg'.s bid him good
bye be kissed each of tbeir bands.
Tbe Sheriff asked if he bad anything
to say, when he thanked his spiritual
advisers, tbe Warden and the Sisters
of Mercy for their kindness to him
and said he forgave every one, all in
a firm toae and without tbe least agi
tation. The noose and black cap were ad
justed, and at 10:33 the Sheriff pulled
the rope and the drop fell with a
heavy thud. Tbe body fell three
feet, twirled around a few limes, gave
three muscular motions, settled down,
and after two mioutts made no mo
tion whatever. After banging S
miautes the prisoner's physician, Dr.
Harvey, and other doctors examined
tbe wrist and found a slight pulsation.
After twelve miautes the heart beat
faintly, and at thirteen minutes after
he was pronounced dead. The body
was cut dowo after hanging seven
teen minutes, when aa examination
showed tbat bis neck was dislocated
and tbe spinal chord ruptured, be
having died wilbout pain. His body
was taken charge of by his friends
and remained in tbe prison until 2
o'clock, when it was taken directly to
the Catholic cemetery and buried
Lanaban was bora in Ireland, was
five feet nine inches in height, had
light bair and mustache, was 31
years cf age and single. He was a
miner by occupation, and bad no
near relative ia this country. Tbe
hills around tbe jail were crowded
with people, but they could not see
tbe execution, the gallows being too
Lear tbe wall, and could only get a
glimpse of the body as it was carried
into the prisou corridor. The crowd
bung arouud the outside of tbe jail
till tbe body was removed, but a
large force of police kept order. Lan
ahan is the sixth man baoged in this
county, and the Got one banged
since 18C7.
Later. Cufllas cootniuing tbe re
mains of McGeban, Boyle and Daf
fy arrived at the depot at half past 2
o'clock. The bodies are awaiting
transportation to the late homes of
tbe dead men on a special train pro
vided by the Railroad Company.
The remoral from tbe priuon was at
tended by some excitement iu li;e
large crowd of outsiders, and tbe
cooveyauce containing tbe offiins
were followed dowu Centre street
by a numerous throng of men, women
and children. A more mournful
looking assemblage has never been
seen in tbe streets of Pottsville.
Demonstrations of violence were ob
servable, though apprehensions of
trouble are anticipated in connection
with the wakes at the booses of the
dead men. The time for the funerals
has not definitely been set.

Tbe cavalry turned out a full
squadron under Captaia Beau -
moot, Chief Instructor. Tbe forces!
consisted of the First and a portion of i
the second class; the Third and i
Fourth do not turn out in tho compa-1
ny. Cavalry drill is alwy.H inter-
eating and exciting, ana iuik oue-
proved remarkably so. Ihe ground
was in splendid condition, aud the
dense clouds of dust which th? rash
of the horses raises if the earth be at
all dry, were almost wholly absent
this morning, so that a clear Tiew cf
all tbe movements c uld bo had. As
is customary, the pu-liminary move
ments were executed at a moderate
pace, just sufficient to get meu and
horses warmed up for what Was to
follow.. There was the march ia
column, deployment into companies,
ri?ht wheeling, left wheeling, chang
ing front and other movemett set
forth in the book of tactics. Then
came the execution of movements at
a trot, then the gallop, and the char
ging. Charges by the whole line
aud charges by companies warmed
tbe whole body op to a bigb pitch of
excitement : the tbuoder ot tbe hor
ses' hoofs, tbe fla-h of tbe sal-res, the
ringing notes of the bugle and cries
of tbe men made up a spectacle not
greatly differing from what would
have been presented had the action
been reality instead of mimic. List
came the charge as forager3 ; but as
this is always liable to cause acci
dents, and Captain Beaumont is the
most considerate and tender-hearted
of commanders, he did not send the
bovs in the wild career ibe whole
length of tbe phio, but, bringing the
column up at a sharp trot half way,
let slip tbe first line, then the second
and a third after it Then came tbe
wild scene this charge always pre
sents; tbe mad galloping of the ex
cited horses, the yells and shouts of
their riders, scarcely less excited, ev
ery man trying to be first, and slash
ing to right and left as he rushed on ;
tbe wild hubbub aad confusion
which follows when meu are loosed
at the enemy like dogs from a le.tsh.
As if to add the element terror to
tbe excitement of the scene, oae of
tbe cadets, ia the very ruh and fu
ry of the charge, was seca to be
thrown heavily from hid horse, which
coniiuued its career a: a still more
maddened pace wheu relieved of his
weight As the youag fellow struck
tbe ground (it was Mr. Hoppia, of
tbe first class,) a cry of horror arose
from the spectators, one of the la
dies fainted, and wbea the rearmost
men bad rushed over and pan, tbi-re
was a run to pick up tbe fallen rider,
wbo lay strecbed out to all appear
ance dead. He was fjuad to be
stunned only, but badly bruised, aud
had to be taken to tbe hospital.
Tbe cause of the accident was the
looseniog of the girlb, causing the
saddle to siip under tbe belly of the
horse, and, of course, throwing out
the rider.
Meanwhile, the horse bad gallop
ed straight oa for the hotel, where a
large number of people were gather
ed on tbe piazza watching the drill,
Ia front of the hotel is a space used
as a croquet lawn, inclosed oy
hedge and rail. 1 he frightened ani
mal attempted to clear ihij at a
bound, bat carried up tbo rail and
broke down a post Running across
the lawn, pursued at lop speed by
two cadets who bad dashed for
ward to catch it, it airaiu bounded
over the hedge and smashed tbe rail,
and was kilo wed in a jump by its
pursuers, wbo finally succeeded in
catching the aDimal. the crowd on
tbepiazzi were scared out ot their
wits, and a terrible shrieking and
squalling was sent up. Another
horse ran away with us rider, aad
ran at break-neck (-peed toward the
place where tbe road from toe steam
er landing comes into the grounds.
Here there is a perpendicular bank
prottrc ed by a rail, having pitch
enoug'o to kill man and horse should
they have goue over it Just before
the hi rse, running at its highest
speed, reached this dangerous spot,
the rider (Mr. .Mac.Martin) tbrew
himself from the saddle, and light
ing on his feet, still holding the bri
dle reins, flung his whole weight
back on tbe curb-line, and brought
Ibe animal to a stand. Imouatmir.
he rode back and took his place in the
company, let another runaway oc
curred, aod the horse made two or
throe circuits of the plafa, dashing iu
and out among tbe trees bordering
ibe walks, appearing and disappear
ing in tbe most extraordioaay man
ner, before its rider finally got the
furious beast quieted dowa. Noth
ing more Serious than tbee accidents
occurred, and the drill was pronoun
ced a splendid success. Some of the
spectators seemed totbiuk it was cut
right to permit such caogerous
tbiogs to be; aud undoubtedly it will
not be whea tbo professi in t a sol
dierfor which these etjjts are
training ceases to bo diiagt-nu, but
