Strange to say he enjoys his mental faculties almost perfect, while physically he is all but crippled, having to be carried in a wheeled chair ; and, as he reclined in the latter at the station he recounted very lucidly events of the past, to the crowd that surrounded him. He remembered President Wash- ington perfectly, and many minute cir- cumstances connected with his adminis- tration; also Jefferson, Adams, Andrew Jackson, the defence of New Orleans, by the latter, and other leading episodes of the war of 1812-14. When the Southern war broke out in 1861 he was exempt from service through old age, yet did some service for the North Sitting beside his wheeled carriage and in watchful at- tendance upon him was an old man very white haired, and bent ; this was his son aged 70, the youngest but one of four still living, aged respectively 77, 78 and 68.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.,~ June 25.â€"The bearing of Mrs. Whiteling, hanged to-day for the poisoning of her husband and two children, throughout the ordeal was a most remarkable exhibition of fortitude and resignation to her fate. During the entire morning she never for a moment showed the slightest evidence of weak- ness, and frequently expressed her pleas- ure at the prospect of " meeting her husband and children.” She spent her last night walking about her cell singing and praying. She ate, with apparent relish, a breakfast consisting of fried eggs, toast and chocolate. She was then taken to another cell, where she was joined by her spiritual adviser. She joined in the devotional serv1ces with considerable spirit and apparently obtained much comfort therefrom. She was escorted to the scofi‘old by. two ministers. She walked firmly and showed no hesitation. At 10.07 the trap was sprung. The fall was about five feet and the physicians stated that death was instananeous from strangulation though the heart continued to beat spas- modically for some time thereafter. The body was turned over to Dr. Alice Ben- nett, of the Norristown hospital for the insane, for examination of the brain, after i which it will be buried by the side of the [ murdered husband and children. ‘; Geo. McCann, awaiting trial for the i murder of his wife, hanged himself early E this morning. His cell was but a few Jr 'ards from that in which Mrs. Whiteling i was awaiting execution. He hanged him- self with a pocket hankerchief fastened to the door knob. TORONTO, June 26.â€"Roland Gideon Israel Barnett appeared before the Cri- minal Assize Court this afternoon for sentence for fraudulent appropriation of two negotiable securities of $5280, the property of the Central bank. Barnett being at the time trustee of these securi- ties. His Lordship said that he could not treat Barnett with any more consrderation than justice would allow. He had been in close connection with the parties respon- sible for the wrecking of the Central Bank, which had brought ruin to so many people. As far as the transaction was was connected with the prisoner, he had taken drafts and appropriated them, knowing the consequences. He had fled the country, but distance proved no object when the ‘law must be vindicated; v-v vvv . “ I do not think that anything I could say would have any influence on you,” continued Justice MacMahon. “ You are a man of intelligence and good business character, and took the responsibility of your action knowing the consequences, and it is only my duty to impose the full penalty of the law. The sentence of the court upon you, Roland Israel Gideon Barnett, is that you be confined 1n Kings- ton penitentiary for a period of seven years.” Barnett’s brother, who was in court, was much effected at the sentence. He threw his arms round Barnett’s neck and wept bitterly. Barnett also showed considerable emotion. Sples’ Proxy Widow. CHICAGO, June 56.-â€"The Van Zandt family of which Miss Nina, the proxy widow of August Spies, the hanged anar- chist, is a member, removed recently from their Rush streee residence to Austin a suburb of Chicago. Their new home was selected because of the proximity to Waldheim cemetery. where lie the bones of the five anarchists. Nina still mourns her loss and wears the widow’s weeds, which she donned in November, 1887. She lives a retired, melancholy life, wrapped up in the memory of the tragic past, and a solitary black rfibed figure can often be seen at the tomb of Spies holding silent communion with the dead. A re- porter called on her father yesterday with a despatch which stated that Nina wanted to lead the Anarchist’s mob on. this stage Thequestionof the duty onarailway truck partly manufactured in Canada. and com- pleted in the States was submitted recent- ly to the Washington Treasury Depart- ment authorities, who decided that duty should be paid upon the value of the parts manufactured in (kinda. ‘ m UV 1w V‘nv â€"___.- in “ Paul Kauvar,” with Joseph Haworth in the title role.

They were in a quandary, when the hotel clerk adrised that both read it at the same time. This they finally did, but at the and neither could swear positively that it belonged exclusively to him. They read it again, each commiting it to memory, and finally returned it to the hotel clerk in another sealed envelope, and he is to keep it until he receives an order signed by both Clarks to deliver it to one of them. Up to this meeting neither knew of the ex- istence of the other. “Well I’ll open it, and if it dated Bridge- portiit is mine,|of course,” said the varnish man. It was Opened, but unfortunately it was simply dated May 3, with no town written. This was a puzzler, but the var- nish man was sure it was bus, and finally said decisively: “If it is Signed ‘Mary’ it must be mine, as that is my wife’s name.” A few weeks ago he was in an Ohio town, and was surprised when a gentle- man stepped up to the hotel register. and sign his name as William J. Clark, Budge- port. The second Mr. Clarke is a travel- 10 for the Parrott Varnish Company. Both gentlemen inquired for letters, and the clerk handed out one addressed to Wil- liam J. Clark. Each took it, looked it all over, but neither dared open it foar for it might belong to the other. The post- mark was examined, but all that could be discerned was “B , Conn.” The Bridgeport Clark was sure by the] snperscription that it was from his wife, as it was in her handwriting, and showed other letters to prove it. The Birming- ham Clark doubted this, but knew it was < his wife’s handwriting, as his lettersi showed. An examination of previous letters showed an astonishing similarity of ‘ penmanship, so much so, in fact, that the hotel clerk could not tell one from the other. BOSTON, June 27. -â€" The excitement along the coast here over the mysterious ocean wreck is increasing. More cattle and wreckage, among which there are se- veral life preservers marked “Victoria.” make it almost certain that one of the un- fortunate vessels is the Anchor Line steamship, which left New York recently for Avonmouth. A fresh south-easterly wind has made the eastern part of Nan- tucket thick with debris to-day, among which was more clothing, part of which was a woman’s. Several articles of men’s underclothmg have also been picked up. The most significent thing is a section of the saloon bulkhead, containing a broken lamp fixture, which showed the remains of several incandescent lamps and their wire appertainings. This is accepted as conclusive evidence that one of the lost boats must have been a passenger steam- er, as no tramp or freight boats, as tar as known, contain this sort of electric illum- inating outfit for the saloon. The Hy- drographic office and Anchor Line agents both accepted the theory that one of the vessels was the “Victoria,” but the chief mystery is which was the other vessel. The wreckage is so battered and smashed, while yet giving indisputable evidence of having been in the water a sliort time, that it goes to show that some terrific shock caused the disaster. An ordinary collision, even with sufficient force to sink both vessels, could hardly account for the shattered wreckage. An ordinary gale could not have done it. It would seem as if the vessels, if in collision, had come together bow on at full speed, or as if some terible force had crushed both vessels to pieces, as might an iceberg or aerolite. Whose Letter is it?â€"lt is From Mrs. Mary Clark, but Whlch Marv is the Question. One of the best known men in southern Connecticut is ex-Postmaster William J. Clark of this town, says a.

LACROSSE, VVis., June 27.â€"â€"A burglar entered the house of John Webber last night through the window of a room occupied by his two daughters, Kate and Lena. The girls were awakened While the robber was searching their clothing, and Lena, aged eighteen attempted to escape. She fell, and before she could arise she was seized by the burglar, who plunged a knife into her body below the ninth rib. The knife was pulled up- ward, a deep gash nine inches long was cut, which exposed the heart, lungs and intestines. The assassin then maue a thrust at the other girl, who managed to evade the kife. The family were arous- ed by the noise, but the burglar escap- ed. ' ~ Disaster to a Merry Rowing Party on the Hudsonâ€"Six Drowned. ALBANY, N. Y.. June 25.â€"One of the saddest drowning calamities that has ever occurred in this vicinity took place this evening, resulting in the death of six young people, who made up a merry row- ing party on the Hudson, Joseph A. Cote, his brother, Edward F. Cote, aged 25, John J. Mattimore, all of this city, and Maud Homer and Maggie Homer, sisters, aged respectively 17 and 15 years, living in Bath, on the Hudson, and Kate Ryan and Mary Hennesy, both of Hudson, re- latives of the Horner girls, started out shortly before eight o’clock to-night to en- joy a row on the river. Suddenly out of the semi-darkness ahead came a tug at full speed. Joseph saw it and warned the rowers. This is the last of which he has any recollection. Then there was a. crash and all became a blank. When Jose h recovered consciousness he was on boar the tug, the only one left alive of a party of seven. None of the bodies have yet been recovered.
