| 4 SEVENTEENTH! YEAR PRANZINI PAYS THE PENALTY, The Murderer of Marie Regnault Expiates His Orime. A NIGHT OF PLEASURE IN PARIS, The “Exccutor of Great Deeds” Ace complishes His Task in a Highly Satisfactory Manner —Foreign News, Marie Regnault Avenged. * | Copyright 1887 by James Gordon Bennet*.] PAnis, August 30.—|New York Herald Cable—bpecial to the Ber.—The crowd since midnight has grown and multiplied, and there are now 20,000 people gathered about. All the riff-raff and scum of Belle- ville, all the disreputable women and Idlers of the Boulevard Montmartre, all the morbid forelgners at presentsojourning in Paris and all the journalists, whom duty compels to be here, are gathered about the approaches to the gri frowning prison of this dark and solemn night in the Place de la Rauquette, The feeble glimmer of a dozen gas lamps sheds a dismal light upon the crowds pacing up aud down in front of the prison, The trees which dot the place are tilled with jeering gammons who defy the injunctions of the police, “*Come down out of that.” In carriages there are hundreds of cocottes in gay tollets. drinking champagns and smoking clgarettes, Here and there a weary tramp is curled up and asleop against the wall or on abench. How any oue ean sleep atall in such a turmoil is strange indeed and yet long habit enables scores of them to do it. Every now and then a fresh gang of black guards arrives, swearing, smoking and shouting, or & carriaze draws up, loaded with passen- gers relatively respectable, and is greeted with a derisive chorus of *Viola Pranzini qui arrive.”” To while away the time the crowd makes occasional excursions around the corner to a shed in the Rue des Folies Rengault, a predestined name, surely. When M.: Deibler, the executioner, and his dreaded assistants, were preparing the guillotine during the evening long after the regulation police hours, the wine stops in the neighborhood of the terrible machine ed with customers. Once or xecutor of Lofty Deeds,” as they call the executioner here, and his underlings, steal in to refresh themselves with a drop of drink, but very few of the idlers recognize them and those who do, of course, fail to gain any information out of them, New couplets have been added to the lu- gubrious song: C’ est sa tete, Qu’il nous faut Ohl oh! ont [“It is his head which we desire.”| Shortly after midnight the ratile of hoof and clanking of sabersannounced the arrival of the mounted gendarmes and Gardes de Paix. In a twinkle the piace before the prison was cleared of all buta few journalists and the police agents. The crowd, driven back on all sides, formed again at either end ot the place, shouting aud singing. Then came a long pause. About 8 o'clock the rumble of wheels was heard in the direction of the Rue des Folies Reanault. A few minutes afterward A cart came jolting over the paving stones towards the entrance of the little avenue fac- ing the prison gate. There it halted and the executioner s assistants jumped off. Then for half an hour a dreadful sound of hammer- ing rose above the songs and cat calls. “Monsieur de Paris’* and his men were pre- paring the inn woods of justice for the tragic business before them. As the hammering ceased, a cab drove up in the place and the prison chaplain, Abbe Faure, stepped out ‘With the procureur de Ia republique and hyr- ryivg past the guillotine disappeared in the prison door. OFF WENT IS IEAD. At 5 o'clock precisely the priest was seen Issuing from the prison gate. Behind him camo Pranzini, gnastly pale, led by four executioner’s assistants. As he neared the scaffold he faltered for a moment, then turning with a dreadful smile of agony kissed the crucitix and walked forward steadfastly. The next Instant the kuife tell. Pranzini had expiated his crime. Meeting of the League in Dublin, Dunriy, August 8)—William O'Brien editor of United Ireland, presided to-day over the fortnightly meeting of the Irish Na- tional league in this city. ‘The meeting was unusually large.

Mr. Hartington an- nounced that Charles Augustus Vansittart Conybeare, radical, member of parliament for Northwest Cornwall, and Charles Ernest Behwann, liberal, member for North Man- chester, had joined the league. O'Brien said that the first branch of the league against which tne government should issue the proclamation would hold its meeting with closed doors and refuse to open them for the olice, even it they demanded admittance. (his would leave the police nothing to do but to break thelr way in if they were de- termined to enter. " As the police would grobubly resort to this violence, the central ranch of the league would then ask the lord mayor to grant them the use of the city hall, with special police to defend it during the league meetings therein. A majority of the Dublin city council, as well as the lord mayor, are strong nationalists and leaders in the league. —— THE MANITOBA TROUBLE, What the “Standard” Has to Say About 1t, LoNDoN, August 30,—The Standard, re- ferring to the Manitoba railway trouble, say: “The more ciearly the rights of the question are understood the more emphatic will be the opinion bere that the Manitobans are trying to derive unfair advantage from their geographical position.

Professor Balrd‘s Successor., WASHINGTON, August 30.—[Special Tele- gram to the Bre.]—The appointment by the president of Prof. S. Brown Goode to be United States commissioner of fish and fisheries is looked upon as an indieation that Senator Gorman, of Maryland, will not have as muche influene with the president from this time forward as he has enjoyed in the past. Mr. Gorman had a man for this place. He was a warm supporter of the candidacy of Major Ferguson, the deputy commissioner, Ferguson is the son-In-law of ex-Governor Swan, of Maryland, and he was very anxious to secure the promotion. He has been un- ceasing in his efforts ever since Prof. Baird died. He became so importunate that the president was discusted, Gorman and others were called upon to work in Fer- guson’s interest and on the day before the president selected Judge McCue to hold the position temporarily, Ferguson’s friends told him that the oftice must ve filled at once, as the ten davs allowed by law were about to expire, and Major Ferguson would not be re- nsible for the disbursement of the funds of the commission unless he should be ofi- cially designated to act as commissioner. ‘This decided the president to act at once. He asked Assistant Secretary Thompson to ac. cept the temporarv designation, but that gentleman said that he should have to de- cline, as acceptance would bring too much ridicule upon him becausc he had no know- edge whatever of scientific subjects. Judge McCue was out of the city at the time, and it was partly because of tIIKI fact that the presi- dent decided to mame him_for the place. When McCue returned to Washington, he considered that the place was meant ror him {zemmnemly. When he heard unoflicially hat the appointment was only temporary, he was very indignant, and declared that he knew better, that the president would not “insult” him by a ‘temporary appoint- ment, and that he could and would 1ill the position as well as any one else. Last night the president sent for Professor GGoode and after a brief talk with him he decided that he was the best wan tor the position that could be selected. 'The appointment was made shortly after noon. An hour be- fore that Judge McCue said that he had not made up his mind whether he would accept or decline. [t was evident from his manner that he intended to accept. When he heard of the subsequent action of the president, he was very much put out and declines to dis- cuss the subject at all, The selection of Professor Goode is regarded as thoe best that could possibly have been made. Mr. Goode has made fisk: a special study, and under him the valuable work begun by Professor Baird will doubtless be carried on under the plan which that gentleman had laid out.

Mr. Lincoln says: *Lsimply could not accept the nomi- nation to the vice presidency., To take any office at all would be a great gacritice of my business interests. I most certainly should not accept a nomination for the vice presi- dency were it tendered.” As to being a can- didate for the presidency Lincoln said: “I regret the use of my name in connection with any ;l»ublic office whatever. 1t seems diflienlt for the averaze American to understand that it is possible for any one not to desire the presidency, but I most cer- tainly do not. I have seen too much of it. 1 can well remember the tremendous burden my father was called upon to bear. I have seen enough of the inside of Washington of- ficial life to have lostall desire for it. The presidential office is but a gilded prison. Its cares and worry outweigh the honor which surrounds the position. 1 don’t think there is any likelihood of wy receiyMts the nomina- tion.” The men who make the vicket would hardly do so without exacting certain pledges and those pledges I wou it give, Abandoned at Sea.
