HANGING AT JOLIF.T.

JOUET, 111., Jan. 20.—Ernest Lacore was executed here at 10:!i4 a. in. Ilis neck was broken by the fall. Tho doomed man continued his reeklcss abandon up to the last moment. He retired early Thursday night and slept for nine solid hours. When he arose he ate a hearty breakfast.. He was in his usual jovial mood, and said he cared nothing for the hanging and was not afraid of death. lie would meet his doom, he said, the same as ho would bid goodmorning to a friend. He declared that he was not trained right and could not help what he had done.

At 0 o'clock the two clergymen who had been attending him visited the condemned man in his cell and the last devotion was gone through with, I.acore joining with a good will. .Shortly after, his mother, grandfather and brother took their leave of him. The final parting was not without visible emotion, but somewhat strained. He bade all a hearty good-by.

At 10:30 Sheriff Hennebry appeared with an escort of bailiffs and read the death warrant. Lacore listened with his customary indifference and promptly obeyed the command to come along. He walked boldly and ascended the gallows without a tremor, and stood motionless while being pinioned and while the noose was being adjusted. About 200 spectators were in the jailyard, while a crowd of at least 4,500 people, many of them from Wilmington and the vicinity where the crime was committed, were gathered outside.

Laeore,in response to the sheriff, said he had nothing to say. except that he wanted to bid them all good-by and hoped to meet them on the other shore. The drop fell at 10:34 a. m. The neck was broken and Lacore was pronounced dead in ten minutes thereafter. Theremains were given to his mother.

Lacorc'ii Crime.

[Tho crime for which Lacore was hanged was the murder of Mary Ellen Byron, on August 6, in the town of Wesley, near Wilmington, this county. In the forenoon of that Sunday she attended church at Wilmington and went home with her aunt to spend the afternoon. About 3 o'clock Lacore, who was a farmhand working tor James Clark, about a mile from Mary Byron's home, came to her house and enticed the 12-year-old girl into a thicket by a story of a uead steer belonging to her father, aud In attempting to assaul her broke her neck. Lacore narrowly escaped lynching by the infuriated mobs both at Wilmington anil In Joliet At his trial, notwithstanding his con fession. he pleaded not guilty, but the case was loo strong against him From the first he appeared utterly indiffereut to his fate,}

Bamberger Kxrcuted.

CANPO. N. D., Jan. 'JO. —Albert F. Bamberger was hauled at 1 p. m., about a mile from this place, in a deep ravine surrounded by high hills, for the brutal murder on July n, 1&0S, of six members of the lvreider family. A tight board fence about feet high surrounded the scaffold, but the execution was witnessed by thousands of people who climbed the hills and watched every detail of the event.

Killed Six Persons.

[On the morning of July 7 last, Bamberger murdered his uncle, Daniel S Kreider, his aunt and four young cousins, because of some words with his uncle abotit his passion for his 15-year-old cousin, Annie Kreider. Bamberger had made advances to his cousin, but had been repulsed, and on the evening before the murder she had threatened to tell her father of his actions. This threat was brooded over and at daylight Bomberger went to his uucle's room and shot him as he lay asleep Ho then went to the kitchen where his aunt was preparing breakfast and shot her. Anuie was locked in his own room and he next killed Berniee, aged 18 Merly, aged 11 Mary, aged 9, and David, aged 7. The youngest girl's throat was also cut to n.akc sure of death. He spared the three younger boys in answer to the supplications of Annie, tho oldest child. After tying Annie *«st and locking her in the barn he saddled a horse and made for the Manitoba border. Tho little ones left alive soon released their sister and she gave tho alarm. Bamberger managed to make his way unmolested to Deloraine, Manitoba, where he was captured forty hours after the murder. For safe keeping the mur* derer was taken to the Grand Forks jail, where he made a full confession of the crime. When brought up for trial ho pleaded guilty and was sentenced to hang.)

Wilson Howard Hanged.

LEBANON', MO., Jan. 20. Wilson Howard was hanged in the jailyard here at 17 o'clock a. in. The scaffold was erected just outside the jail building, and the execution was witnessed by only a score of people. Howard was brought here from St Louis Thursday night.

Late Thursday night Howard trade an aflidavit that he had killed John Bailey in Harlan county, Ky., a crime for which an innocent man, his uncle, Will Jennings, is now serving a life eentecce in the Kentucky penitentiary. He further protested his innocence of the murder of McMichael.

A

Career of Hloodshmi.

[Howard was born in Harlan county, Ky., In 1866. His family was an old one, and had become involved in cue of those feuds for which tho mountain counties are noted. Among the families engaged in the guerrilla warfare were the Baileys, Gilberts, Turners and Ilowarda. In 1875 occurred tho famous battle between the Howard and the Turner families in the •treeu of Harlan. In the fight Will Turner was shot and killed. Wilson Howard was Indicted for the murder, but bis friends balled him out and advised him to leave Kentucky. Howard had started on his journey with his uncle, Will Jennings, when ho was overtaken by a messenger with the news that George Turner, Will's brother, bad insult ed his mother and was threatening to kill her. WUson and Jennings Immediately turned baok, and as «oon as tbey entered Ilarlan opened fire with their Winchesters on the Turner home. Their relatives rallied about them, the flro was returned by the Turners and there was another hot fight in the town. In the house was Charley Bailey. Three months before his father had run for office and the Howards had not supported him.

From that time the Baileys had allied themselves with the Turners. Charley Bailey looked •ery much like George Turner, and in the light he was shot through the head by a Howard pullet whloh was intended for Turner. Bony Turner, another brother of George, had his arm broken by a bullet/ and throe men of tho Howard faction were wounded. That nlgbt Dick Bailey, who was

visiting the Middle ton family, some distance rom town, was called out of tho house ami shot dead. Nobody ever knew who did it, but twas laid at the door of the Howards. Young Wilson and his uncle Jennings then left Kentucky and came to Missouri.

The Crime for tVhielt He Died. They settled near Springfield and soon after John Hector, a fanner ot Maries county, lost some money and got the idea that a deaf mute named McMichael* had stolen it. Jennings assumed the role of detective, arrested McMichaels and recovered the money. The grand jury, however, held Jennings as an accessory. McMichaels was released on bail. On the night o' August 29 a man called at his house and, tclilng him he was an oflleer of the law. put him under arrest and started with him to Dixon. The next day McMichaels was found lying in the road with a bullet through his head and another through his heart. Howard was suspected, and after a chase lasting several months, and extending from Kentucky to California, ho was ttm\11 located in a penitentiary in the latter state. He was brought back, tried and convicted on circumstantial evidence.!

TILT ON THE TARIFF.

"rom" Johnson Answers Several Personal Charges. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—In the house Mr. Dulznll (rep., IV.) spoke in opposition to "Tom" Johnson's (dem., O.) amendment to put steel rails on the free list. He charged Mr. Johnson, who is engaged in the manufacture of steel rails himself, with many practices, to which Mr. Johnson replied as follows: "Hie gentleman from Pennsylvania says I am a monopolist. 1 plead guilty. The law permits it, but I am against the law. I am charged with paying my men in onethird money, tuo-thirds scrip Guilty again. But it's better than shutting dosvn my mills, reducing wages or discharging any of my men. Moreover, one-half of the scrip has been redeemed and the rest soon will be. I am accused of buying an engine abroad: guilty. I could not get it here in less than eight mouths. 1 got it from abroad in three months. Tho difference in time enabled me to put tip my mill aud set men to work and pay 5150,000 in wages by the time it would have taken me had I waited for the American engine to put my men at work. One and a half million tons of steel rails are sold here iu a year. The steel pool gets (7.50 a ton over honest profits.

Take off the duty and the price will couio down, the railroads will be able to buy more, steel bridges will replace rotten wooden bridges and there will be ample protlt for .all. Put steel rails on the free list, where labor is."

Chairman Wilson opposed Johnson's amendment to put rails on the free list and tho amendment was lost—79 yeas to 100 nays.

Mr. Henderson (rep.t la.) was then recognized to offer the agricultural schedule of the McKinlcy law as a substitute for that of the Wilson bill.

Mr. Hull (rep., la.) followed with a discussion of the effect of the agricultural schedule on his state. This precipitated a long discussion between Mr. Hull and Mr. Springer, who produced statistics and figures to prove that protection for the farmer was a shame and a fraud.

If there is reasonable ground on which to force a standing In court, injunction proceedings will begin at onco. "J. K. SOVEIIKIG.N, "General Muster Workman."

Mr. Sovereign'* Action.

DKS MOINES, la., Jan. 20.—General Master Workman Sovereign of tho Knights of Labor, acting upon tho advice of leaders of the order in different parts of the country and of Senator Allen (pop., Nob.) will, within a few daj'S, file with the clerk of the .supreme court of the District of Columbia a petition for an injunction restraining Secretary Carlisle from making the proposed issue of government bonds. C. C. Cole, ex-chief justice of Iowa, is drawing up the petition, which will assert that the act of January 14, 1S75, does not authorize tl,e issue for any other purpose than the redemption of greenbacks, or, at any rate, to maintain the $100,000,000 gold reserve.

In an interview Mr. Sovereign said "I am satisfied we can secure the in junction if we can only obtain a standing in court. There are certain legal difficulties which have no precedents to be solved, but we think wc will at tain our purpose."

Claims of tho Knight*.

The following specific claims are made by the persons seeking the injunction against the bond issue: There is nothing in the law providing for a re serve fund at this time in the I'nited States treasury of $100,000,000 there is no provision in the law for any special reserve as construed by the present government. The fact that the secretary of the treasury is to offer for sale a greater amount of bonds than necessary to replenish the so-called legal reserve indicates that he is not offering them for tho purpose of redemption. and it further shows that he is not offering them for sale for the purposes specified in the law of January 14, lb75, the resumption act.

The secretary of the treasury, they claim, has no authority to offer bonds for sale for any purpose. There is no deficit in the United States reserve fund, for silver at present in the treas ury is more than double the so-called deficit in the so-called legal reserve. "There is no such thing as a special reserve, legal or otherwise," said -Mr. Sovereign, "provided for anywhere in the federal statutes. There is nothing in the law providing for a re servo of $100,000,000 at this time any more than there is a provision for a reserve of f'J'.i,000,000. The govern inont claims to be about to issue the bonds under the provisions o£ the act of 1875. It claims to be offering tho bonds for sale to replace adeficit in the reserve. Yet it is offering for sale an amount of bonds double the amount the very deficit it claimed that it must replace. Its claim is not reasonable, consistant nor honest."

Carlisle Iteruse* to Talk.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—The Philadelphia dispatch announcing a threatened injunction by the Knights of Labor against Secretary Carlisle to restrain him from issuing $."0,OuO.OOO in bonds, as contemplated by him, was taken to the treasury department and showed to the secretary. Mr. Carlisle read the dispatch, but declined to say anything whatever 011 the subject for publication. Other officials of the department to whom the dispatch was shown were not surprised on learning its contents. The feeling of the Knights of Labor and of labor unions generally on the bond question was known to be un favorable, as had been nlio'fii by the passage of resolutions against it

The officials were a unit in the opin ion that the secretary had nothing more than a temporary' delay to fear from injunction proceedings, and even this they did not think in the least degree probable. The secretary consulted the attorney-general, the law oflieer of tho government, aud tho president before issuing the bond call.

Method of Procedure,

Applications for writs of injunction or mandamus against department officials are usually made to one of the justices of the supreme court of the District of Columbia. An appeal from a decision of the supreme court the district would lie to the dis trict court of appeals, but the ordinary course of events could not be heard by the higher court for several months unless an order advancing it on the calendar was made From the court of appeals the case might be taken to the United States supreme court if the discouragement that uniiiiestioiKibly would be met by the enjoiners in the lower courts did not cause them to cerwu their efforts. It is believed no delay would be occasioned 13' these legal proceedings, even a temporary injunction doubtless would be denied.

lloNoi.ri.i*, Jan. 12, via San Francisco, Jan. 20.—There is no important change in public affairs. Strong remonstrances have been addressed to Minister Willis. It is privately learned that a new constitution is all ready to be promulgated at the proper time. It see ins to be definitely ascertained that for several weeks past and prior to Thurston's visit the government has been working out form of constitution for an independent Hawaiian republic, which is now sub stantially settled upon. Its form is like those of the states of the union. with president and vice president aud upper and lower houses of the legislature. For voters for the lower house the chief qualification is ability to read and write the English language, which will exclude most of the Japanese. In this house the native and half-white vote will greatly predominate. For llie upper house there will be required of voters a considerable educational and property qualification sufficient to secure tile predominance of intelligent white citizens, who will'also control tho choice of the executive. Certain special powers will be conferred upon the executive and upper house acting in concert, which will en able them, when well agreed, to pre vent the obstruction of necessary legislation by the lower house. Under thi constitution the native element will possess all share in legislation which it has ever possessed, while royal and ex ecutive power will practically be trans ferred to the control of the more intel ligent and capable white population.

The government will not proclaim this constitution until after learning from Minister Thurston that there is no present prospect of any form of political union with the United States.
