Kesblear re- d here last night very much jisoomfited. He had gone to spelton on information that Geo. taylor was stopping in that town. | The pursuit has been been aban-| jmed, and it is believed that the her friend from Carroll County | man W. Mudgett,alias H. H. Holmes | was hanged in Moyamensing prison today. The drop fell at 10:12:30. It} was fully half an hour later before | he was officially pronounced dead. A half minute before he was shot into eternity he made this declaration to the solemn assemblage gathered about the scaffold: “Gentlemen, I have very words to say in fact, would make no remarks at this time except that by not speaking I would | appear to acqiesce in my execution. | 1 only wish to say that the extent of my wrong-doing in taking human life consisted iu the death women, they having died my hands as a result of criminal opera tions. I wish to state here,so there can be no chance of misunderstand ing, that Iam not guilty taking the lives of any of the Pietzel family— the three children and Benjamin, the father,of whose death I was con- victed and for which I am today to be hanged. That is all I have to say.” The words were well chosen and distinctly enunciated. The voice of the condemned man never quavered the hands, clasped on the railing of the scaffold, did not tremble. The nerve which had all along character- ized that most marvelous of assassins did not desert him at the end. As the last syllable fell from his lips he turned to his attorney, Mr. Rotan. Clasping the right hand of the young lawyer, Holmes placed his left on the other man’s shoulder, and gazing up into his eyes, said in a loud voice: “Good-by.”” Then he carefully but- toned his coat, nodded to the sheriff and an instant later was shot up into the air. sho was geen with George in Ne- praake took him money and that the itive has left the country. When Keshlear reached Shelton he give information showing that faylor was the little town of Belve- ere, where anotber brother, Albert, ad been traced on April 16, and from which point a rescuing party ms expected to go to Carrollton and ind eave Bill from execution. On the train between {-curon and shelton the Marsha: noticed a cleri al looking individual whom he cognized as haying seen at Carroll- Hop, Mo., at the time Bill Taylor was taken there to be hanged. Just as the Marshal stepped from ihe caboose at the Shelton depot a nan, now known to be George Tay lor, clunbered into a box car at the front end of the train. Taylor was still playing his role of tramp, the me as when he arrived there. Keshlear discovered that he had been misled shortly after arraving at Shelton and also found out to his discomfture that trains only ran be- tween Shelton and Kearney every other day. He telegraphed to the Marshal at Kearney stating that be believed George Taylor was on the fst freight and reeeived an answer severval hours afterward, signed by 5. Glass, saying: “Your man is here.’ Keshlesr immediately hired a rig and drove 28 miles across the coun- iry to Kearney. Taylor and the sup- posed preacher had jumped from the freight a few miles east of Kear- of two at Trust Officials Indicted. New York, May 7.—The grnnd jury has found indictments against James B.

Marshtield, Mo. May 6—The State Bank of Marshfield was closed today by Bank Examiner Gordon Jones. Immediately afterward, Ed- win Solomon, President, made an assignment to George Y. Salmon, of Clinton, Mo., all of his real estate and personal property for the benefit of his creditors. The bank being a county depository, A. J. Headlee, County Treasurer, had a warrant is- ued for E. W. Salmon, and J. Y. Salmon, assistant cashier, for receiy- ing deposits after the bank was in a failik condition. The assets of the bank are $30,000; liabilities, $27,000. Poor collections and the high rate of percentage bid for school moneys are the prime causes of the suspen- sion. Very little excitment is caused by the failure, and Mr. Salmon is con- fident of paying 100c cn the dollar. Mr. George Y. Salmon arrived to- tight and took charge of the bank under the assignment.

C., May 8.—The proceedings of the Spanish court martial in the case of the men cap- tured on the schooner Competitor are being closely here, and there is ground for the fear that unless the matter is handled with great disere tion it may result in straining the ptesent friendly and amicable rola- tions between the United States and Spain. Strong representations have been made to the State department | on the subject, and the department certainly will not fail to intervene instantly if it should appear that at | least all the Americans among the | captives under trial are not treated with all the privileges accorded by the rules of civilized warfare. An | insistence on this point would oblige | the department to refuse to sanction | the execution of the Americans. And although it is not believed that there is a disposition to carry the case to | extremes, yet there is some danger that the Spaniards may feel disposed to go further than prudence per- | mits in the effort to discourage | American filibustering parties by barsh treatment of these, the first to fail into their hacds. i ' Speaking of the possibility of Car | lisle’s nomination by the Chicago | ; convention, the Nevada Mail says: “Mr. Carlisle will not get a single vote from the Missouri delegation; | | and it is also true that he could not | carry a congressional district or pos- sibly a county in the state if he | should be nominated upon a gold platform.” Does the Mail seek to con- jvey the idea that if the silver men are not able to control the nomina i} at Chicago they wil) bolt?

Cleveland, May 5.—A profound sensation has arisen in the church of Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary (independent Catholic), which was organized in this city three years ago, and has been pre- sided over by Father A.
