K!!! i^. t.i LEO'S SUN SETS A r LAST Surrounded by tfte Sacred College He Handed the Reins to Cardinal Oreglia Hoim\ July 20.â€" Tlie Pope died at (V.Ol this uflfiiioon. tjunduy uus spent by the aged I'oi;*i;l in a continuous state of coma. I'uriiiff the night he rested only at short intervals. To-day the weather was dull and heavy and the sky was overca.se. Karly in the incrnings since tlio Pope's illne.ss people Jiavu K'^thered before his window to yatlier an omon from Ceutiu's face as he open- ed the shutters. This morning he did not appear at the usual time and a rumor {lew around that the Pope was dead. lU^ hud, however, merol.v stifVered from a cardiac attack, from which he rai\jcd. Dr. I>ai)poni succec-ded in having him swallow several tea- spoonfuls of colTee, milk and biandy mixed. The silence of thir sick room was occasionally broken hy a hacking cough, due to the galhering of phlegm in I'ope Leo's throat. These coughing spells had the ollect of rousing the Pontill, causing him to open his ey«s nnd revive sliglill.v. At 11.40 a.m. there was great alarm at the Vatican, as the I'ope was suirering from a grave increase of cardiac allectioii. Dr. Lapponi really thought the end hiul arrived, and Cardinal Seralino Vannutelli. the grand penitentiary, began the prayers for the d.ving and gave the Pontill absolution in artiiulo mortis. His death was considered so immin- ent that all the cardinals were pres- ent and the uieiiibers of the diplo- matic corps were adniilled to the sick room. HANDED OVEU UIOINS.

The leading fea.ture was the scarcity of good qualities of butchers' cattle, and the abundant otterings of lower grades of inferior cows that were not wanted by local butchers, and there- fore almost unsaleable. Buyers here object to the farmers up-country un- loading poorly finished stuff on them while they have, or should have, plenty of pasture for at least two or three months yet. Canners and low grade cows were much on sale. There was also a dearth of good exporters' descriptions, and buyers had to go to Chicago to obtain what they wanted. There seems to be plenty of good stulT in the country, but it is not coming here, as holders there arc hanging on to their stock in the hope of an advance in prices there before long. There was little enquiry for either feeders or stockers. and the offerings were light, and values about steady. A bettor tone in sheep prevailed, and all offering were sold early. Calves were firm, but the offerings being fairly liberal no change in their values was recorded. The run of cattle was not heavy. It comprised 1,083 cattle. 1,287 sheep, 1,721 hogs, and 69 calves. The most, of the exjiorters were dis- posed of at from $4.70 to 55 per cwt. Ten to fifteen cents higher was paid in a few exceptional in- stances. Butchers' classes sold lower, ow- ing to the inferior quality of the of- ferings. We quote:â€" 54.50 to $4.65 per cwt.; loads of good, $4.30 to $4.50; fair to good, $4 to $4.30; medium to fair, $3.20 to $4; com- mon to fiiir. $3.50 to $3.85; rough to common grass-fed cattle, $2.35 to $3.25 per cwt.

And Lyn-iied Two Murderers.

SheritT Fen- ton of llig Horn county has api>eal- ed to the CJovernor for military as- si.staiice. Last Wednesday it was re- ported lh{it a mob was descending on Basin to lynch Oorninn and Walters and the Shorill hid the men in a gully. Gorman escaped but was recaptured yeslerdny. On Sumla.y a mob o( about 50 men entered Hasin, proceeded at once to the count.y jail nnd Hred a voUo.v into the prison. Deputy .Shorifls Pierce and Meatlo were guarding the prisoners. One bullet grazed Meade's shoulder and entere(> Pierco's heart. Members of the null) then tore up the telephone poles and battered the jail door down. They (Irst came to Walters, who was crouched in his cell, beg^ ging pitpoiisly for mercy. Walters was shot and instantly killed. The mob next found Clorinan, whose hod.v was pierced by five bullets. Gorman lived some hours. Pilgrims' Club of London Decide* to Erect One. A I-ondon despatch says : â€" At a meeting of the Executive Conwiutteo of the Pilgrims' Club on Wednesday night, a committee was awiointed to give effect to the recent sugges- tion to erect a statue to Georgo Wa-srhington in London. It was de- cided that the subscriptions .should be entirely confined to Brilisfli s.ub- jects. Arciudeacon Sinclair, in submitting the plan to tlie society, said : â€" "Englisiimen have at last fully recognized the great qualities of Washington. 1 feel assured that notliing will be more popular in this country than such a tribute to that great nvan of English birth, who haa done so mwch for the world's his- tory, not only for the young nation across the sea, but for Great Bri- tain as well." Archdeacon Sinclair announced that he was authorized to offer a place for the statue in St. Paul's Cathedral. CZAR ABOLISHES " CAT" No More Corporal Punishment in Russian Prisons. A St. Petersburg desp-atch says : â€" The BirzheWa Vedonujsti says that the Czar has aboliahed the harshest remnants of the barbaric puoish- ments of former times, namely, cos- tigation with cudgels and cat-o'- nine-lails, chaining to the car and shaving head, which were still in- flicted for certain offences on per- sons e.<iled to penal settlements or to the iidi.c_. niis form of pun- ishment frequently ended in death by torture. The cudgel aud the "cat" are replaced in the new statinte, says the newspaper, bj' prolongation of. term or by solilarj' confinement up_ to one hundred days with bread and water except every third day, when hot food will bo served at one meal. The revised statute of June 15 prescribes chastisement with birch rods up to 100 blows "for slight offences, and misdemeanors." TRIED TO BURN HERSELF Russian Woman Makes Attempt at Self-immolation.
