HOW BRAVE MEN DIE.

Story of the Execution of Leaders of tho Expedition Against Honduras. V; • [New Orleans special.! .The Times-Democrat publishes an account by an eye-witness or the execution of Gen. E. Delgado, Lieut. Col. Indalecio Garcia, Commander Miguel Cortez, alid Lieut. Gabriel Loyan, who were shot at Comayagua for leading an expedition against Honduras. The lour officers above named were lodged in a small prison at Comayagua when the news of their sentence reached them. Gen. Delgado’s wife was there to plead with a wife’s tears and a woman's devotion for her husband’s life. It was the desire of President Bogran to spare Gen. Delgado’s lite if possible, and any pretext would haVe been readily seized upon to give an opportunity of saving him aud at the same time Vindicate the tribunal which bad condemned him. The President sent a messenger, to him to say that if he would promise never again to take up arms against Honduras he should receive a pardon. Tbe soldier was too brave to accept even his life on these terms, and he sent back word that he would sea Honduras in an even more tropical climate than she now enjoyed before he would accept his pardon on such a pledge. When Lis answer was received, there was nothing left but to prepare for the execution. In (he countries south of this there ara few preliminaries to such not uncommon events. A priest, a firing squad, nnd a coffin are soon obtained. On the morning of their exeention-the men were taken to a point near the church of Comayagua. Four coffins were plaoed near the wall and the four condemned men were led to them. They accepted their positions as easily and as gracefully as if they were in the boxes at the opera, and not a face was blanched, not a nerve quivered. Gen. Delgado asked' and received permission to order the guard to fire, which he did, first requesting them not to shoot him in the face but in the breast. There was no rattle, no spattering reports, but one sharp,’ stunning report. The four men for half a second remained in an upright position, as if still unhurt, and then rolled over limp and bloody, dead. The soldiers had complied with Gen. Delgado’s request, for three balls had penetrated his breast.

HENRY GEORGE.

His Admirers Announce They Will Run Him for President.

Hewitt, the successful Democratic candidate, and nearly 8,000 more than were polled by Roosevelt, the Republican candidate. George’s friends are enthusiastic over this Large following in the metropolis, and announce their intention of running him for President in 1888. A recent dispatch from

New York says: “Henry George, the defeated labor candidate for Mavor, was given Repath and John Kwinton occupied seats on the platform. Resolutions were adopted calling on tho district organizations to com tinue their work, throw open their doors to new members, and prepare by organization and education for future contests. The Central Labor? Union is called upon to issue an address to organizations in other cities, asking their co-operation by similar movements that a national party might be formed. Henry George made an address, in which he predicted that the movement inaugurated here would spread throughout the countiy.”

“I love your daughter better than I do mv life,” said he, to her obstinate father. “Well,” replied the heartless man, “go commit suicide and let her get rid of you. That wonst be much of a proof, but it will be satisfactory to me.” A clergyman in Illinois, who had been marrying several parties of young folks, was asked by a brother who called on him how he was getting along. “Oh, finely,” he replied; Tin sailing right along at the rate of thirteen knots an hoar.” A bank cashier seldom goes off until he is loaded, and then he makes no repdrt.

The Diabolical Deed fer Which Samuel Purple of Kansas Was Lynched. Killed His Wife and Children —A New-Born Infant Blown ; 1 to 'Pieces. “ + [Lamed (K-ob.) telegram.] Intelligence has been reoeivod here from Hodgeman County of a crime whioh rivals in inhumanity and brutality the butohery of his family by Willie Sells, the hoy murderer. The scene of the tragedy is near Marine, in the extreme sonth corner of Hodgeman County. About seven years ago a beautiful young lady named Low be r fell desperately in love with Bamu . Purple, a man whose reputation for sobriety and mildness of nature was not by any means cn\ iable. Against the wishes of all to whom the young lady was in any way connected, they were married and settled down near Marine. They never lived happily together, and Purple's viciousness culminated Friday morning last in the murder of part of his family and in his own death at the hands of an enraged mob three days later. At the time of the murder his family consisted of seveh persons—himself, his wife, his wife's sister, and four little children, the youngest of whom was only three weeks old. Friday morning his wife arose as usual and prepared breakfast. She then went to awaken her husband, which so enraged him as to incite him to the heinous crime which soon followed. He sprang violently from his bed, and, seizing his revolver, shot his wife through the body, from which wound she died at once. The new-born babe was next fired at, with the same result. He next shot and killed another one of his children. His sister-in-law, Miss Lowber, was then selected and fired at, the ball passing through tho arm and, lodging ' somewhere in shoulder. As this emptied his revolver, he proceeded to load his shotgun in order to complete the work. A slight mistake in this was the only thing that stopped the deadly proceedings. The powder was poured into one barrel, and, by error, the shot into the other. With this he endeavored to blow off the head of another child, but as there was nothing except powder is the barrel the child’s face was only severely burned by the explosion. A heavy blanket was seized and wound around the suffering child and this securely wrapped with a heavy wire, iu the hope that he might accomplish by suffocation what he had failed in doing by the use of the shotgun. The child will recover, although fearfully disfigured about the face. The murderer then mounted a horse and started across the field to Marine, with the avowed purpose of murdering his wife’s father and mother. Before he could accomplish this, however, the wounded young lady had made her way to the village and notified the inhabitants of what had happened, and they hud congregated for resistance. Seeing that his plan was frustrated, the murderer hastened to Jetmore and surrendered himself to the authorities, where he was placed in jail, surrounded by a heavy guard. That night a mob of aboutono hundred men went quietly to the jail and demanded the prisoner, who was delivered up with little ceremony. He was then taken back to the scene of his crime and hauged to a tree. Only one member of the family escaped serious injury, and that was the murderer’s little boy, who had hid under his bed when he heard his father coming.
