Tap* ley, murderer, hanged Friday at the county jail in Jersey City, gave proof1 that for many seconds after tbe fall of the gallow's trap he was not onljr alive, but conscious.

Thomas Connolly,* the warden of the prison, and the three deputies who formed the death watch--John O'Brien, Benjamin Wickham and Jnh. Hanlon--were taken into the secret These men knew that 'Tapley had agreed to make the following sig­ nals if life and consciousness remain­ ed after the fall of the trap. First, to raise the right forearm as far as the bands at the elbow would permit, then contract the thumb and forefinger three times while pressing the left hand rigidly against the left hip. If by that time the tortures of a slow death had not robbed him of all consciousness, Tapley was to reverse the signals, raising the left arm, con­ tracting the thumb and first finger and pressing the right hand motion­ less to the right hip. Tapley, dangling from the noose after the released weights had sent his body high in the air to fall with a mighty jar at the end of the rope, writhed for an instant in convulsions. Then the twitching hands fell and the arms, bound across the back at the elbows, straightened out full length. To the seven watchers in the secret of the signals, there was no thought that a spark of consciousness remain­ ed in Tapley's body, which hung three feet above Uie fiqor under gallows beam. But suddenly tapley's right fore­ arm rose slowly, steadily, until the hand was well in front of the body. Then, with startling precision, the thumb and forefinger gave the sig­ nal, The seven watchers bent tor- ward with eyes fixed upon the dang­ ling, hooded figure., Three times, with terrible deliber­ ation, Tapley's thumb and forefinger straightened and contracted. His left hand was pressed tight,, against the hip, its fingers twitching convulsively in evidence of the mighty effort put forth by the dying man to hold them to their place. To all appearances, it was a dying effort. Even Dr. Simon, man of sci* ence, had no thought of a further sig­ nal from the tortured man. \I.,f HIDDEN PICTURE it*?*:* Six years ago the British were defeated at Colenso. Find a British Soldier.

It is the force of superhuman hate, and hence tke deeds reported are not the acts ol patriots, soldiers, or otherwise, but the enormities of mad­ man. "It Is impossible to understand how any emotion, even of' the extremes of despair or hate, can impart such fool­ hardy courage as some of the rebels display. t .. "For every barricade destroyed bn Sunday two or three appeared in other places. Orders were given by the rev­ olutionists to shoot only when there was good hope of bringing a man down, but otherwise to tire dut troops until they lost patience.

They said they were devoting their ef­ forts to shaking the foundations of Rusian finance, in full confidence that once the existing regime was over­ thrown they could as quickly build an­ other, and that foreign nations would be .as ready to advance money to at democratic republic as to the autoo* r acy . kS ' ^ ' X i "They emphatically denied that they were inciting the peasantry to commit agrarian outrages, declaring that these outrages were the work of the social­ ists, but they did not deny the advo­ cacy of the distribution of the. crown lands among the peasants.
