Not a tremor was observed and the murderer was outwardly not affected. The sheriff then bound him with three straps, Hart offering no resistance, and a long white shroud was passed around his form and a white cap was drawn over his head. All was ready and the sheriff stepped back from the deathtrap. There was an instant’s pause, awful in its intensity. 'Then there was a dull, grating sound, and the death-trap fell at 11:04 with a loud noise, and the body of the murderer shot downward. His neck was broken instantly. =l

[The crime for which Hart was executed was ‘the most atrocious ever committed in this part of the state. On September 5, 1893, Hart was alone on the farm 6 miles west of Rockford with his mother and two sisters, Mary and Nellie. - During the afternoon the mother left the house for a short time, going to the potato patch in the rear of the residence to get some potatoes. for the eveniug meal. No_ sooner had his mother left the house than John Hart called his sister Nellie to the barn, telling her that the granary floor had sprung a leak and was letting oats into the basement below. When the unsuspecting girl had reached the bottom of the Dbasement steps Hart turned on: her, and after choking her severely forced her to -drink paris green out of a - bottle He ™ then struck her on the head with a hammer and shot her in the stomach with.a revolver, leaving her on the ‘floor for dead. Going to the front yard where his elder sister Mary had been rocking in a chair Hart shot her four times after a struggle that left the porch besmeared with blood. When the victims were found Mary was dead, but Nellie recevered sufficiently to dictate a dying statement which was admitted as evidence in the trial and doubtless convicted the murderer. After completing his work Hart changed his plood-stained clothes, and mounting a swift horse rode to Rockforu, where he ‘was arrested in a barber shop, the man who shaved him just tellifg the murderer of the crime when the police entered.] ¢

Tyler, of the Church of Disciples, declared that women’s votes were necessary to the cause. Noah Dayvis said that without women armed with® a legal vote as an aid man._could ' not battle with ' the temperance problem with any hope of success. Mrs. Mary T. Burt, Prof. Samuel Dickie, Rev. Dr. McArthur, Rew: Joseph Cook and others spoke and A. M. Powell, secretary of the! National Temperance league, offered a series of resolutions praising Gen. Dow and favoring the annihilation of the kquor traffic all over the country. R The Brooklyn Temperance league celebrated the 90th birthday of Gen. Neal Dow at the union assembly room. Chairman Walker spoke of Neal Dow’s birthday and said it was being celebrated all over the United States, England, Germany, France and Australia. Sl : e Neal Dow was born in the city of Portland, Me:, on the 20th of March, 1804 His parents were of the Society of Friends. His firstidentificationn with the temperance movement was in connection with the Maine Temperance union, an organization composed ”of those who withdrew from a society which had, by the form of its pledge, compromised with. wine-drinkers. The union appeared before the state legislature in 1837, demanding the abrogation of all license laws, and the substitution of prohibition of the sale of all alcoholic beverages. His first public appearance as an advocate of the prohibitory policy was in 1839, when he appeared before the board of aldermen in his own city, and induced them to refer the question of ‘license” or “no-license” to,a vote of the citizens. No-license was defeated by a majority of 35 out of a vote of 1,163. In 1842 he again succeeded in having the question submitted to the people, and it was carried by a majority of 440. He . turned his attention to the state in 1843, printing and circulating petitions to the legislature at his own gxpense, praying for a stringent law, and that ‘the traffic in intoxicating liquors might be held and adjudged an infamous crime.’’ In February, 1884, he went before the legislative committee, which reported a bill favorably. It passed the house, but was defeated in the senate. Meetings were held all over the state the next two years. Mr. Dow was speaking in school districts, and scattered a literature profusely everywhere over the state. In 1846 he secured the passage of a prohibitory law by a vote of 81 to 42 in the house and 23 to b in the senate. The penalties were insufficient, and the next year another bill was passed, but was vetoed by the governor. In 1850 he pregented a bill of his own drafting, and secured its passage in the house, but it was lost in the genate by a tie vote. | St i

In 1851 he was. elected mayor of the city of Portland. and for the sixth time appeared before the Tlegislature with a bill' of his own, which passed the house 86 to. 40, and the senate: 18 to 10. Mayor Neal Dow issued a proclamation - that he ghould promptly enforce the law, giving venders sixty days to ship their liguors out of the city. He seized £2,000 worth of liquor and had it openly destroyed. Mr. Dow was reelected and a mob gathered to resist the execution of the law, but he was equal to the emergency, and the mob was repelled and dispersed. 1n 1853 he attended the world’s temperance convention, held in the city of New York, and was made president of the ‘convention. : The “Maine Law’’ was repealed in 1856, but Mr. Dow rallied the people, and it was reenacted in 1857 with increasedi restrictions and penalties. : o |

In 1861 he recruited the Thirteenth regiment of Maine volunteers and a battery of artillery, and entered the army. President Lincoln. appointed him brigadier general in’ 1862, and he was twice wounded in battle, in the attack on Port Hudson, Louisiana, .and taken to a plantation in the rear, was captured by a squad of Logan's cavalry and taken to Libby prison in Richmond, Va. .He was exchanged in March, 1834, for Gen. Fitz-Hugh Lee. ) 7

He was. vice president of the national temperance conventions held in Saratoga in 1865 and in Cleveland in 1868, representing tbe National Division Sons of Temperatce on both occasions. He visited England ' three times and delivered over 500 addresse§ under the auspices of the United Kingdom alliance, | in every part of thekingdom. He was initiated into the National. Division Sons of Temperance of North America at the sesgion held in Richmond, Va., in 1852, and was elected most worthy associate of that body. ; ‘He was the candidate of the prohibition party in 1880 for the presidency-of the United States, and received 10,366 votes. He was & member of the national temperance convention, held ‘at . Saratoga. Springs in 1865, which organized the National Temperance society and publication house, and has been vice president of the society from its commencement. A
