Mrernounse, May 23.—Deeming was hanged atone minute past 10 o'clock this morning. With the execution of Deeming there ended the lifo of ono of the greatesteriminals the world has ever seen. At the begiuning of March last the potico atdiivernool reccived a dispatch from the police at Melbourne that the murder of a woman had just been committed at Windsor, asuburb of Melbourne, and from certain acts that had been rovealed it was thought the Windsor murderer had killed another woman at Rain Hill, a suburb of Liver- pool. Tho police of the latter place at once started an investigation, and soon & most horrivle crime was unearthed—literally unearthed—for beneath the hearthstone of a residenco known as Linham villa, at Rain Hill, thero were found the bodics, not only of a woman, but also the bodies of four little children, all of whom had been buried in & DIt that the murderer had dug bencath the hearthetone, and after the earth had been thrown over them the surface was comented and the hearthstone rolaid, #uried Under the Menrthstone. It was soon learacd that the house had been occupied by a maa who had given his name as Williams, but who, it was subse- quently ascertained, was t'rederick Bmley Deeming, whose family resided in Birken- head, across the river from Liverpool. Wit iutms, or tocall nim by his right name, Deom- ing, had married at Rain Hill a young and beautiful girl, & Miss Kmily Mather, and had sailed for Australia, and it was her body that had been found at Windsor. She, too, had been buried vuder the hearth of tho villa, and her grave was covered with a conting of cemeut. The police inquiries into Deeming’s career soon revealed that he was guilty of neariy, if not all, the erimes in tho calendar. Numer- ous swindling transactions were traced to him, principaily in mining lands. Detec- tives followed him to Kngland, whore 1t was founa he was living in Birkenhead. The de- tective gained adinission to the house occu- pied by Mrs, Mario Deeming and her threo dend children, whose bodies have recently been found at Rain Hill —the fourth not then being born. Doeeming, however, evaded his pursuers and left Birkenhead that morning. Pursuit was continued, but Deeming alwa; managed to evade his pursucrs, in one in- stance escaping by just seven minutes, Looking for Vietims in Liverpoo! Deeming later appeared in Liverpool under his alias of Williams, He paid addresses to anumber of Liverpool ladies, awong thom one who, from his conversation about the “Jack the Iipper” crimes, became terribly ofraid of hiw. One wpight he made an en- gagement to tako tea at ber home, but he did not appear, It was just about that time that he appeared at Rain Hill, where his wife and family subsequently followed him. Shortly afterward Mrs. Deeming and the children disappeired, but Deeming haa represented the woman as his sister and nothing was thought of their disappearance. It wasnot long after tis that he married Miss Mather and sailed for Australia. Dur- ing tneir voyage e developed traits of thoughtfulness and consideration havdly in keeping with tha character of the man as seen 1n the Jight of subsequent developments, He doctorea tho sick, and saved tabils from his table for tho'sick steerage passen- gers. Miss Mather relates that in addition tohis medical qualitications ner husband was askillful e or and that he filled un a lot of nis time i cog ab his models i e cabin, Miss Rounsville's Narrow Escape, The subsequent facts 1n_connection with the murder of tho second Mrs. Deeming are of too recent date to need dotailed mention. After Deoming hind killed her he becamo en gaged tou Miss Kate Rounsville, who was on her way to the Southern Cross gold fields in the West Australia gold fields to meet ana marry him when sue learned of his crrest for the murder of his first wife. A significant fact 1 connection with the proposed mar- viage was that Decming had already secured n quantity of cement, that was found at his home in the gold fields, and this suggested in a starthng manner that he had niready made preparations to kill and bury his bride elect, That he was_guilty of many othor crimes, including murder, is believed by every one. He was a juil bird, having served sentance i Cuyland and Australia for theft and other offenses. When he was taken to Melbourne e as- sumed a jovial and careless air, but at his trial he showed in his manner the terriblo mental strain ho was undergoing. After be had been condomned to aeath he made a speech, which was in part as follows Deoming's Spe ech on Conviction, I have not had o fair trial, Itis not tho law that is trying me, but tho press. The caso was prejudiced oven beford my arrival by the exmibition of photo graphs in’ the shop windows, and was the means by whbich I was identified, 1 leaye it to the jury if itis not the case that there are courts that would executo we with- outatral. I amtold thut whatever I say will not b beltoved, and even 1y own wit nesses havo been kept out of my way by my counsel. People have swornto sceing mie whom I have nover seeu in my life, “Another objection I have to this trial is that no time has boen allowed to communi- cate with witnesses in kngland and India, Itis notn pleasantthing to confess to dis- ease, wental or ctherwise, but 1am deter- windd 10 do 50 in Justice to myself and the community. For woeks togettior I havo sut- fered lapses of momory. In my own mind I Kkuow I am not guilty of this thing. “My tifo is ruined. If I wero turned into the streot tonight & free man, tomorrow would find me in tho graveyard. 1 do not hesitate to_ give up my life; it would be o pleasure. 1 have fought the blacks on the Zuwmbeesi and bave fought with lions singlo handed. What is life to o man hke me, whoso prospects the uewspapers and the puolic bive blasted and ruined forover! 1 do mot cxpect justice; it is neither in the wind of tho judges, or of the jury, or of the public, to give me 8 fair trial. Tho case should have been postpoued two months to onablo evidenco to be collected. Instead of that the trial was fixed, by premeditation, to take place at a time wheu the public is en- raged agalust me.” Confessed to One Murder, Ho confossed that he had’ killed his wife, Miss Mather. Ho appealed 10 tho Victoriw exccutive and totso British privy council for a respite, but toth refused to interfere, and nccordingly he today paid the penalty of the law. Had he csoapea justice in Australia he would bave been taken to Englaud, where he would undoubtedly have been hanged for the Rain Hill murders, Deeming passed Sunday in writing, ealmly Qiscussing ut intervals’ his approaching doom. 1o said ho haa no intentior of muk- ing a speech on the scaffold. On Suuday night ho thrico swallowed eagerly o smail allowance of spirits, after which he slept soundly until he was awakened at 7 o'cl ok this (Monduy) morning. Then for the first time sinco bis orrest tho manacles on bis wrists were removed, and smoking & clear he conversed with thoso around bim. He declared that Lo was resigned to bis fate and pad 0o fears in regurd o the future. To the goveruor of the prison be said that he had mado bis peace with God, He persisted in denyiug thet he was gulity of the Rain Hill murders, he tad never, ho declared, lost bis self contrul 8s ho bad since bis wrrival lu Austraia, Ho ex- | pressed gratitude to@l the prison officers for all the kindness they had shown, and also to Mr. Lyle, the chunsel and all concern- ed 1n_nis defonse. e Siid he thought he would not faiter or WAke any scene on the scaffold. & Fell Seven Feot, A few minutes before the time set for the execution Deeming was allowed a glass of brandy, which he swallowed at a gulp, aud hie was told that ho mizht have move if the prison doctors ordered. The doomed man was then led to the gailows and in a few moments all was over. Tho drop was seven feet. The oxecution Was witnessed by o largo gathering, including government ond civil officials, magistrates, police and clergy- men. There was an immense crowd outsido the prison from an carly hour in the morning until long after tho exccution was over. Order was maintained by a strong forco of police, When weighed early this morning Deem- ing turned tne scale at 143 pounds, which is fourteen pounds less than he weighed when admitted to tho prison. LONDON FINA! IAL REVIEW, Abundance of Money Caused a Reduction Y in Bank Raves, Loxnoy, May 22.-<The reduction of the French bank rate, which bas stood at 3 per cent since K'ebruary, 1839, and only changed oight times 1n ten years, together with the expected lowering of the Borlin rate, proves that the plethora of money is universal. The French bank halds gold of the value of £01,500,000 and_silver to the amount of £51,500,000. Credit_speculations appears to bo 'sufforing throughout the world. The cconomists attribute the state of affairs partly to this high amount of currevcy. The economists hold that the genera! election will cause an expansion Of circulation in Eng- land and that the carrying outof currency reform in Austria-Hungury will create a fair demand for gold. On the Stock exchange the past week low priced Central ana Sedth American bonds in the spoculative departinents wero unsteady. In Liverpool a large aceount in Canadian and Mexican railway securities and nitrates was closed.

Moxte ro, Uruguay, (via Galveston, Tex.), M -8y Mexican Cable to the ew York Herald—Special to Tue Ber. | — A fearful disaster has overtaken the Bra- zilian warship Salinioes off this coast. She was dispatched from Rio Janeiro some days siuco toact as convoy to the flotilla which carried troops to aid in quelling the rebetlion in the Brazilian state of Matto (Grosso. The flotilla had coms ou ahead of the Salinioes and wus up tho river awaiting her arrival in order to proceed by way of the Paraguay river to the sceno of tho revolt, At the same time that the flotilla teft Rio Juneiro a foreo was sent by rail. 1t was to R0 to tho end of tho raiiroad route ‘and then march into Matto Grosso where, after being joined by the troops from the flotilla, the combined forces woro to attack the capital of the state. Went Down with the Hatches Closed. The crew of the warship numbored 127 wen. As she was fitted out for active ser- vico it is probablo that she did not carry any small boats. Owing to the dangerous nature of the low and sandy condition of Uruguay on the seacoast, she had a pilot aboard. Just as the Salinives was off Palonio island, near Point Negra Castillos, she struck a rock violently, bows on. Tho sea was vory rough at tho time. AllL tho crew were under hatchies excopt four sailors and the pilot. Two of the sailors acted as lookouts und the other two were at the wheel. Through the immense hoie made in her hull the water rushed so fast and furious t she sank almost immediately. Of all her crow, only the four satlors who were on deck wero saved, and tho pilot escaped. Oue hundred and twenty-throe lives were lost. Like Rats in a Trap. The unfortunate men did uot even get a chance to gain the deck. They were drowned like rats in a hole. As tho water poured in the vietims seemed iustantly to realizo their danger and made a frantic but unavailing effort to dash open the hatehes, Their er were heartrending. ‘The scene of the disastor—Palonio island — is northeast of Cape Santa Mariz, which is near the mouth of the Rie do la Plata. The Salinioes was a two turreted monitor built of wron in England and launched in 1875, Hor dispiacement was 3,700 tons. Sie had a double bottom, but there were few water tight compartinents below the water line and when the hole was kuocked in her hull she went down like a cracked iron pot. Her dimensions were: Liangth, 240 feet; beam, 58 feot; draught, 11 feet 5 inches. She has twelve inches of armour on her midship belt and thirteen inches on her turvots. She was ariven by two propeliers, giving a maximum speed of eleven and one-quarter knots an hour with 2,200 ndicatea horso power. Her pattery contains four twentv. five ton ten inch muzzle ding Whitworth rifled guns, two in each turret, and five Imacbitie guns. Captain Castrot of the Salinioes is among the drownoed. * 1 S CLOSED AN IN TING SE! Dakota Congregationatists Con Their Twenty-Second Annual Meeting. YaxkTon, 3.
