X. "V. T., Nov. li:. Ixuis David Itiel was execute.! on tbe scaQ'old at the barracks of the mounted j olice force, near this city, for liih treason against the fueen of Great Britain, at .:ÖÖ o'clock this morning, mountain time. Ilf.-iw, X. Y. T., Nov. lti. Itiel has been confined in the guard room of the Canadian Mounted Folks l'arricks. whose headcjua'ler' poKt is located on the open prairie, three miles west of this city, ever since Iiis trial here in the month of July. His trial and sentence occurred at this city, which is the capital of a vast territory, stretching north, as far as Alaska, west to British Columbia, and known as the Northwest Territory. The Territorial Council meets here and it is likewise the official resilience of the resident Lieutenant Governor and other high ari-'intive iHjiuinion officials Never was captive more zealously guarded and, possibly, never was captive, durin? the full penou ot his imprisonment, less in need of watchmen in his outward deiortrnent. "Whatever his character may have been in the field as a martial leader of his countrymen, in prison he has fallen little short ot a religeuse. His ti.'ne has been devoted assiduously to'prayer. liven when given his constitutional n the open ground adjoining the suard-r iu. for an hour each morning, he has paced back and forthwith his hands clasped together in front, his head bowed, with prayers issuing from his lips, voiced in cither the French or Indian Cree tongue. iSoon after his capture by the Canadian troops 2ie professed to throw "off his allegiance to the Iloina-i atholic Church and took the uise of a propnet, claiming to see visions and for. tei;.:i' events. Laiteriy, as hi-fate seemed nn;e surely s?aled. he has sought the comfort airain r.t his original faith, and his constant a. id almo-t only companion for the jast two week has Leen I'ere Andre, from .Fort Albert, clo-e to the scene of the recent rebellion. The churchman's visit has been twice liaiiy. aid in his absence Ileil was i"reoj:?:it!y k!:eel::ig at hi couch in prayer. The remainder of Iiis time has leen srent in "writing oiit predictions of the future and leiene of Ir.s conduct in leading the halfbreeds tw.te to war. These 'papers have lieeri intrusted to I'ere Andre and will, doubtless, he produced at some time in the future, a'.thoujii the prelate refuse to Surrender tlie::i now. No one. no maiter what his credentials, was permitted to pass through the guard oo:u to see the prisoner in Ins cell, and the immediate friends of the condemned man ve:i did not see him, though no restriction was plat ed upon them, lie received a few lay.- ago a letter from his aged mother which n Sec ted hint visibly, but at no other time lurin Iiis confinement did he show any signs ot that weakness which was imparted to him after his capiure by Canadian cout. The strict privacy of" the prisoner was broken down for the first time yesterday. n'l?n t'ie representative of the Associated I're-'s was permitted to visit the prisoner in the company of the High Sheriff and Commandant of the mounted police. This was on the occasion of the formal announcement that hi- death warrant had arrived. The diarm of the rebel'd manner was undeniable, lie anticipated, what the Sheriff would s-ay In his own greeting: "Well, you have come with the great announcement. 1 am .irlad." He spoke slowly, but very distinctively, looking at the She rift" with reolute eye and without a tinge of braggadocio. He rallied the Sheriff when the latter suggested that he should not speak too lontr. "You think I will speak too long, that I will be nnnerved. Oh, no; at the last moment I will be firm." There was a trace of the French patob in his accent which did not lesson the tharm of his speech, j'js leard was a dark brown, neatly tr!mnw'' ani his hair was brushed bacK from hi u.'21j forehead, with a tendency to curl in conrni."t to the straight hair of his Indian prosenito"?- His nose was slightly Uonian. and his skin drk, uu not swarthy. Looking at him and wtes-jng his manner it was ea-v to discern the" lATiijeiice he had with his people. His address wfl? tü?t, f the skilled courtier, and his college training had never deserted him in the perfection and gra e of his speech, all the more remarkable in contrast to thoe of his followers. While it has been charged he has shown a lack of spirit on the battle-field or in the presence of danger, no one would urge it aeain.-t him in witnessing the nonchalance of his bearing and suavity of speech acknowledging the fiat of his doom. The stoicism lent by the savage strain in Iiis blood it would be conceded stood him in well, as his f nal plea that he was urged on Iiis career, by the motive of a patriot: "I have only this," striking his breast, "to leave, and this I tendered to my country fifteen years ago and aai willing to give it now." Beyond the prelate who visited him, it was the fate of Itiel that there were none of his former companions, eitner from the political or persona! tield, that found their way to his eli. and lieyond the announcement of the result.- of various fetales of his trial, be had no knowledge of paslngeventsor of the criticism pa-ed upon his career. His concludinz hours were passed in the sole company of hisspiritualaivistr. who performed masses for him tluringtheearly portion of the night. Itiel then laid down and apieared to sleep ioandiy. awakening at an early hour and again nuaiir:g his devotions. The same extraordinary precaution against the e-cape of Itiel or the intrusion into the barrat k- by unauthorized persoiis was observed a:;ain this morning at a mile from the barracks. Mounted patrols challenged all persons and compelled them to disclo-e a written pa-s. uther lines of guanls were stationed at points nearer the iot where the same precautions were again abserved. No one was iermitted to enter the guard room until J: 12 o'clock. The scene presently then wa that of Itiel on the scaffold with I'ere Ai:d re and Father McWilliams with Jihn celebrating mass. Itiel wa on bended knee, wearing a loose woolen surtout. gray trousers aid woolen shirt, with moccasins on his feet, the only feature of his dress that partook of the Indian that was in him. "He received the notice to proceed to the scafloid in he Mme composed manner as Tshown the preceding night, on receiving the warninz of his fate. His face was full of color a:id he appeared to have complete self-posse-sion. resjondiiig to the service in a -clear tone. The prison-1- decided only a moment before starting fertile scaffold not to make a peecli. This wa- owing to the earnest so'icitat.on of both the nests attending him He displayed an inclination at the last mo ment to make an address, but 1 ere Andre reminded him of his promise, and he then :arose and walked toward the executioner, repeating Iiis prayers to the last moment, the final words escaping him being "Merci Jesu." He died without a struggle. Not to exceed twenty persons were permittted within the confines of the barrack to wit ness the execution, and it was certainly per formed w ith decorum and dispatch. His Jiody wa taken in charge by the coroner, ' ar.d'tl.e verdict uarual to all State executions was rendered. The sea Sold hail been erected within a contracted enclosure immediatly in the rear of the gv.ard-house, and the only view of it wa through a window immediately nnder a raitrr.

' ' - . . . . i near the opening which led to the ecaffold. He resjKn led to the Latin prayers with a' full and clear voice while on b:s bended, knee". When the moment . came for him to rise to have his arms and bands pinioned, he kept looking up, slowly repeating bis prayers. He then walked through the contracted opening and down the narrow stairway, with his face turned away from the few civilians and soldiers who stood about the . opening. When lie was to take his place on the trap the leputy JsherirT aked if he had , anything to say. "He turned to hia confessor, I'ere Andre, and inquired: "Shall I not say a few words?" "No." quickly replied the priest in l'reneh. "make this your la.st sacrifice, and you will be rewarded." ! Itiel turnet! and remarked in liaghsh. "I j have nothing more to say." There was some delay in adjusting the nooe. but Itiel did not remark vjon it, a::d. as the white cap closed over him. he was heard distinctly repeating Iiis prayers. 1 Hiring the night I'ere Andre urged upon Kiel not to attempt an address tion the scaffold, and suggested that a reprieve might still be on its way, but this idea strenuously repelled. He said he knew his hour had come, and that he was not only prepared, but that he would not have it any other way, as nothing but the alternative of prison for life awaited him, and to him death was preferable to that. During thejnight he addressed a letter to his mother and to his sister, which touched npon the affection he bore them. I'ere Andre will go to Winnipeg with his remains, within a few days. His body was interred tonJay under the scaffold. He prayed almost continuously during the night. He directed a prayer to his friends in the United states, where he declared most of them were, and aain for his friends in (Juebee. He prayed for bi: lawyers, speaking of their "efforts in his behalf and of their going to England for him. The attending father told him it was his duty to pray for his enemies. He replied, "That is so," and at once began so tray in English for the Premier of Canada, ut in his prayer he aked that the Government might soon be relieved from his rule. He partook of a light repast at 11 o'clock, eat no breakfast, which caused him to show at one time this morning some signs of faintness, but afterward he completely recovered from this and displayed no effort in mounting the ladder which led to the attic ot" the guardhouse on his way to the scaflold. There was barely a quiver a the drop fell, and his death wat pronounced an ea-y one. During the early hours of the morning he gathered up all his papers which covered his desk, enibodving supjosed visions which he had -ecu and his prophecies, and asked the privilege from the officer of the guard to destroy them. This was allowed him, and gathering them together, he carried them to an open stove fire and thrust them in. watching them until the tiaim-s had devoured thera. He then returned to his cell and to his devotions. It would be difficult at this time to gauge the sentiment created in the Northwest as to Kiel. The half-breeds are unusually silent upon the topic. A majority oi the resident jH.pulation Itelieved lie deserved death, and this is undoubtedly specially true in Manitoba. Here vhere lie was tried there was some expression of sympathy for him, and at times the rteclaraiioti that lie was risrht in his demands. as they had nearly all, since been granted to the half breeds. The execution of Itiel. is to be followed at I'attleiord by the hanging of ten Indian Chief-, for atrocities committed during the recent rebellion, and in each instance for murders committed. This will close the book of criminal procedure growing out of the Northwest war, as other j-ersons convicted were for prison sentences. The executioner of Kiel was a man namad .lack HendersHjn. whofwas a captive of Kiel's in the rebellion of 170. Ilev. Mr. McWilliams, who assisted Father Andre in Lis attendance upon Kiel during his last hours, and who was a classmate of the rebel at Montreal College in lo, is of the opinion that Kiel was insane, and so expressed himself to a representative of the Associated 1'ress to-ctay. In this belief he addressed a letter last Monday to tlie Governor General of Canada, citing his firm conviction and saying that while he deemed Kiel a dangerous person, and one who should be confined for life, according to his belief. If sentence of death was carried out his blood would be upon the head of His Excellency I.ord Lansdowne and his immediate adviser?. He addressed a similar letter to Sir John A. McDonald, l'rinie Ministerot Canada. Kev. Mr. McWilliams has a series of letters written by Mr. Kiel within the past ten days which serves as a partial index to his rharacterand his claim to being a patriot and likewise a prophet. Kiel's handwriting is bold and moderately regular. He handed Father McWilliams the following, November 7, four hours before h? heari of his respite: Tti...r- J n . W. N'.iv. .

Us.-,, Father McWilliams declares he never witnessed a more resigned feeling than was shown in the case of Kiel duriiiir his last hours. The members of the Northwest Council are now in session here, but as a rule are not willing to prognosticate the prohnble effect of the death of Itiel iion the balf-breeds or country generally. One of the half-breed members said that bis countrvmen undoubtedly sympathized with their leader and doubtless would do 80 doubly, now that lie was dead. It is declared this afternoon that the Government will probably not allow bis body to be removed to Winning through fear of demonstrations which might be made by the ban-breeds at bis funeral. Excitement at Ouebec. Qlei'.li, Nov. Hi. The excitement here over tbe execution of Kiel is intense. When the news was received that Kiel had paid the last penalty of the lar. many a French Canadian was seen to wipe tear drops from hi eyes, but it seemed as if a thunderbolt had fallen among them, reversing their feeling to one of rejoicing, when a dispatch was received saying that he "died game." It would stem that It only required this news to start them in pouring forth their torrent of feel ing. Although the French Canadians are agitated in the extreme there has been no difficulty experienecd. The French Cabinet Ministers are being etlhcisei greatly on at sides. A public meeting will be held to night, at St. Itoche s. and some trouu.e i ex petted to arLse tUcreüta.

The farm-house of Albert Jones was completely demolished yesterday afternoon by an explosion of nitro glycerine stored in the house, which Mr. Jones had been using to remove obstinate stumps from bis land. Shortly after dinner Sunday the entire family went to a neigh bor s house m the village to spend the after noon, leaving the house securely locked, About .'. o'clock a shock and thundering detonation' alarmed the village. An hour later, while the amazed town people were bewildered bv speculation and doubt. messenger arrived from Mr. Jones' home be aring the news that the house had been blow ii into atoms through some mysterious asencv, ami that, inasmuch as the family could not be found, it was presumed they hud ierished in the explosion. Soon after the excited people ttf-tran to arrive upon the n et:e. however, Mr. Jones, toirether with his wife and children, put in their appearance. The house and contents were scattered in fragments over an area of :X yards square.

Hxritiaj Seen Ketween FttT Bachelor and Hysterical Female. rt:cmtOM. Ind., Nov. 11. What was seemingly a family quarrel in a quiet neighborhood, about 11 o'clock last night, and put every denizen agog to know which of their number had suddenly taken such a freak, proves to have been occasioned by imported talent on the part of the lady, who pitched her voice at such a skyward octave, while the other high principal of the affair was the bachelor brother of the wife of a prominent merchant. The gay and festive bachelor was Al Van Metre, a salesman in J. S. Ta3"lor .'. Co.'s wholesale iron store, and his female companion a Miss Barnwell, who lives north of the city. Al has been sweet on her for many moons, and with her it was so thorough a case of mash that when she heard he was basking in the smiles of others, she could not control the green-eyed monster that la?t night got full possession of her. Accordingly she went to the residence of his brother-in-law, wii l whom he boarded, and called him out. and demanded that he take her home. Seeing she was loaded for trouble, he was quick to comply, hoping to get her away from the house, and they promptly adjourned to the alley, where he was getting his horse and buggy out of the stable, when she went oif in a fit of hysterics that awoke the neighborhood. And she not alone made vigorous use of her lung power, but "she scratched as cats and women will." plowing furrows in his face from which the blood dropi1! to his vest. A couple of police were attracted to the scene, but they have been mum about the matter to-day, thinking tii.it as she finally got -in the buggy and was driven home it was only a lovers' quarrel. "ORIENTAL MARRIAGE SOCIETY." The Latest Trap for Sucker that TTas Iteen Spruits In an Indiana Town. IticiiMosn, Ind., Nov. 11. Yesterday there arrived in this city C. It. Whiteside, of Cincinnati, who said he represented the "Oriental Marriaze Society,' the home ortice of which is in New York. He had a branch office on l'it'th street, in Cincinnati, and his purpose was to establish a local agency in Richmond, and when he left on the evening train for lhij'ton he thought lie had struck just the agent he wanted in a book agent named J. Ilufus Smith, but the fact is he bad been pumred by a newspaper reporter who ha already done all he ever will for the oriental Marriage Society by writing up its puiqiose as it was detailed to him by Whitesides. He dwelt upon the fact that they should not be clas-ed with the defunct marriage dowerj- as-ociations that were showered throughout the country a few years ago, for they were a perfectly iesotisible society that had been organized three years, and honestly endeavored to furrish husbands and wives for the marriage inclined. They keep, he said, list of marriageable persons in all the cities where they have agencies, each of 'whom are written up as accurately as the pedigree of blooded horses, and this list is submitted to the applicant, who jucks out a rich but ugly companion, a pretty but joor one, or such as he or she thinks could be captured by the inducements he or she could offer, whereupon an intioduction is brought about bv means of the agency, l or this in-, troductiou they charge $10, and for the mere registering of the name, together with pedigree, etc., they charge $0. and in each instance the local agent gets half of the proceeds.

He returned to the door shortly afterward and called for a monkey wrench, which the fireman handed him. lie then returned to the front of the engine, and that was the last time Watson saw him until he saw his nianzled remains taken from under the tenler. All the wheels of the engine and all but tine of the tender passed over his body at the chest, crushing it to a pulp. Tlie Situation nl Galveston. Gxi.vKsTov, Tex., Nov. 1. Collections for the benefit of the lire sufferers were taken in all the churches to-day. The general feel ing is that the disaster is more serious in its result- than the people at first realized.

The lawyer faints id the p'reseuce oi the court aud is sooa a wreck or a corpse, and yet tlie work is uerve work. The man of artair f overcome with apoplexy: tiie politician and publicist, with Bright disease. The mind of the untutored man is tired by the exploits of crime and he loturs for such lame. These persons overwork or overexcite the nervous system aud this i.ict kills or demoralizes them." Ii 11 this be so how would you rectify it then?" "Let me tell you. A few years ago I "had a ladv patient who was an utter wreck. She was th'e mother of several children, she lost her miuu and imagined he was cursed oi iod. liewasa farmer s wife, and worked early and late. I never saw a fuer secime:iof physical womanhood than she. but she was a nervous w reck, she became bliod'.ess, had the very worst ot female disorders und was in the lst sia-s of albuminuria or Bright' disease. This latter disease works particular havoc with the nervous system and produces insanit) and despair, she was insane and desperate and I fear tainted tbe Mood of herotKpriug M'ith thfe terrible tendencies. I treated her for several years. One by one the standard remedies oi the school failed, but I tin iHy cured her w it h WarnerV safe Cure, ami she is to-Uy strong and well.
