December tenu of the t'rim- . , , , , . , , ,1 loal Court, Joda W ilsow referred to j the reports in circulation about attempts J at i-ribery, and said the guilty persons ; should be arrested. The prosecution by Watson is thought to be chiefly due ! to the suggestion of the Judge. Tbe ' Tbe present Steward of tbe Poor Farm ! is Mr. Stacy, who has made an honest ' and efficient officer, but because he is not Land in glove with the Democrat c ring an effort is making to displace him and substitute one who will be a u.ore subseirient tool. The Stewardship is an office much sought after by the Deui ocrats of Fayette county, and the late developments in regard to heavy bribes would seem to indicate that ' tbete't millions iu it." Horrible Gallows Scene. A despatch from New York, nnder date of the 17th inst., relates the fol lowing sickening gallows scene : William Ellis, Cbarlea Weston, and William Thompson, tbe three negroes who followed a peddler named Abra ham Weisburg into Lydig'a woods, in Westchester eounty, and beat bis brains out with stones iu order to rob bim of $14, were banged at 9.35 this morning Eliis was tbe least repulsive of tbe three in appearance. Weston and Thompson evidently belonged to a v.ry low order of humanity, and iheir brutal features and degraded aspect excited little coiumissctation. Weston wore a common black suit, Thompson an rid gray coat and black trowsers, and Eliis a dark coat and trowers, with white gloves. They stood beneath the fatal beam in tbe order mentioned ..iftSt AND L1QUORS Weston be ine on the right, next tbe male prison. As they stood on the scaffold tbe attendant clergyrren whis pered a few last words in their ears. i and the sheriff's assistants fastened the ropes. No time was lost, for at 10:25 o'clock Sheriff Cornier gave the signal, tbe weights were let go, and tbe bodies of ibe three murderers were lifted into ... , , .. .. tbe air. A most horrible scene then occurred. Weston died easily, no mo- j tion of hi frame being perceptiblo ex cept a brief shudder, and an occasional contraction of hi legs. Thompson apparently suffered more. His body shivered from head to foot, his breast heaved, and Le raised bis arms several times, working bis finger Convulsively. But tbe mode of Ellis' death was the eruelest of all. At the last moment, after tbe noose bad been adjusted, be suddenly turned bis bead, and disar-1 , , .. . . , . 1 ( I. ... .. , , , it could be readjusted tbe signal wa. . , . . . , ,, - r,, , given and tbe weight fell.
