At Mauch Chuuli, Michael Doyle ami Eilward Kelly were hanged for the murder of the mine boss, John P. Jones, at Lansford ; also, Alexander Campbell and John Donahue for the murder of Morgan Powell, another mine boss, at Summit Hill, Carbon county, December 2, 1871. These four were executed at the same time. At Wilkesbarre Andrew Lanahan wns hanged for the murder of John Riley in September, 1871. The follow ing particulars <?i me executions are takeu from the published accounts : At 10:50 a. m. two of the prisoners? McGehan ami Boyle?were brought out of the jiiil at Pottsville and takeu to the scaffold. They mounted the wooden steps with a firm tread rnul took the positions assigned them, the former on the right and the latter on the left trapdoor of the extreme right scaffold, without betraying any symptoms of nervous uess. Alter uevoiiouiu ext-reise> i>\ iuc attendant priests, each of the condemned men spoke to the assembled spectators, declaring their hope of forgiveness for their sins. Uoyle said: "I am not a bit sorry to die." The sheriff then shook hands with them, and an assistant began the pinioning process. Steel handcuffs were put on the wrists, securing them behind the back, and new leather straps were bound around the thighs below the kuees and above the elbows. Two pliy sicians mounted the steps and adjusted the nooses about the men's necks. White hoods wore placed over their heads, thus concealing their features. They bore it all without the quiver of a muscle, beginning to pray aloud and looking up to Heaven the moment they felt the pressure of the slip-knots upon their flesh. The platform was cleared ; two loose supports that sustained the edges of the trap-doors were removed ; the executioner, behind the boarded canvas-roofed screen in the roar, pulled the rope attached to the hinged central support, doubling in two and dropping it upon a bunch of straw laid in the rear. The v inirnr/1 inRt the large side pads of coarse sackcloth, rnnl the men dropped with a crashing noise as of breaking bones. Instantly twirling about and about, their bodies were in plain sight, suspended several feet above the ground. At .12,08 o'clock the second procession appeared. It was similar to the first, with Roarity and Carroll substituted for Boyle and McGehan. Roarity was a thin, shambling young fellow, with deep lines in his face, and illiterate looking. He was clean shaved, and wore dark striped trousers and waistcoat, black alpaca coat, and white shirt, without c ?llar or tie. A bunch of roses was fastened on liis breast. Carroll was a slight built, handsome, compact looking; young man, with light brown mustache, and apparently the most intelligent of the six. He was attired in a brown sack coat, black waiscoat and trousers, white shirt and turn-down collar, with a black tie, and was without flower or ornament of any kind. He showed a quiet bravery, while lioarity was painfully nervous, heaving a profound sigh every few minutes during the prayers. Twice tears forced themselves from his eyes. Carroll was placed on the right trap and Roarity on the left. They also made addresses to the lookers-on, Carroll saying: " I have nothing to say but that I am innocent of the crime i am charged with." The nooses and white caps were put on, and the trap that launbhed them afown'fv t?-oc cnninfr iuiv Civiiiiijr 'hwj At 1:11 the third procession moved from the prison to the gallows. The doomed men this time were Duffy and Muuley. Both wore thick-set, strong looking young men in the Hash of health. Duffy's turn had evidently boeu deferred as long as possible in consequence of a rumored possible reprieve, lie appeared to realize, however, that his time on earth was short. The ghastly pallor <>f his face and nervous manner contrasted strongly with the nonchalant air and easy deportment of the man (Muuley) at his side. The latter, like those who had gone before him, met his fate with that apparently callous indifference which characterized his late associates in crime. The same preliminaries as in the other ca?es were begun and concluded. Neither of the men indicated any disposition to make a speech. At Maueh Chunk all the arrangemei.ts for the executions were made ut ten o'clock. Shortly after, the deputy sheriff and reporters and other assistants entered the corridor. The sheriff adi i.i ?i jusieu me ropes, ;uui cuui u Ilia imoipuima to him. In ii few mimites Campbell's cell door was opened and he appeared, led by a priest. He walked quickly to the scaffold, aud abeended the stairs with a light step. The priest read prayers for the dying for some minutes, the prisoner responding, and repeatedly kissing a crucifix and turning his faco upward while his lips slightly moved in prayer. Doyle was next brought out, and he walked up unassisted. John Donahue walked boldly out and up the steps of the scaffold. Kelly camc last, and seemed rather weak; and sTdoz^n arm? were held up t) catch him as he ascended the scaf fold. They were all attended by a priest. Indeed, none of the four evinced much nervousness. "When asked if tliey had anything to say, Campbell replied that he forgave everybody, and continued: " I have not an enemy iu the world at this moment." Doyle spoke for some time, but his words were inaudible except to the sheriff and the priests. Donahue had nothing to sa_v, and Kelly recited after the priest a plea for forgiveness. The sheriff left the scaffold and in half a minute pulled the rope which let the trap fall. The doomed men fell at 10:54. In a moment the bodies began swinging. Kelly, Doyle and Campbell died easily. Donahue drew himself up and struggled for two minutes. Doyle's heart ceased to beat iu twelve minutes, Campbell's iu fourteen minutes, Donahue's in six minutes, and Kelly's in seven and a hali m nutes. The bodies were cut down in twenty-tive minut?*. From the beginning to the end there was no mishap. The town was very quiet. Andrew Lanahan was the eleventh man hung. His execution took place al Wilkesbarre. The crime he committed was the murder of Captain John Riley, n justice of the peace, iu 1874. Laualmii met Ihh fat'-- fearlessly, and iiis execution was devoid of any noteworthy incident. One Woman Not Afraid of a lint. There is a wide-spreal belief, amountm ing almost to a certainty, tlrt when a woman sees a mouse she will utter a piercing shriek find either faint or mouui the nearest chair. A woman in Sacramento, Cal., is endeavoring to lead public opinion in an opposite direction. Siu sweeps out the Mechanic's Exchangt Hotel. She saw a rid. She saw him, went him one better, and sallied nftei the rodent in real en in est. Out the door he went, with the broom-stick tapping the pavement close behind him. Reaching the street, he dodged into a hole under the sidewalk on the other side of the alley, and lookers-on thought the sport was ended. Not so, however; the plucky woman ran her bare arm into the hole and drew the rat forth in triumph, and dashed him forcibly to the ground before he had a chance to turn and bite. Here she deliberately dispatched him with the broom-stick.

Mr. Eagley nmy be a good poli- dti tician, a sharp liuaneier, and a genial. , wi whole-soiled man, but lie can't drive a ; horse, ho realizes this fact, and lie lets uj ' the horse drive himself. The animal is pa 1 generally engaged in deep thought, and j j the only reason why he doesu't bang 1 j agaiust street cars and carriages is be1' cause they out run him or dodge.

We clip from an exchange an article ndensed from the Cincinnati (Jommcr- s ril, giving an interesting description of ancis Murphy, the temperance rermer, anil the beginning of his reform >rk: b] He was born in Wexford, Ireland, in h 36, and led a life of greater or less p; 3sipation until, when he was keeping a % ilors' boarding house in Portland, Me., b i fell down stairs in a scuffle 'with a J unken man, who was killed by the fall, a. lile lie was arre ted on a charge of t< urder. While in jail on this charge, b which he was afterward acquitted, n i was converted to religion, went to si caching temperance, andturn-d all but g e of the prisoners to temperance. e< After leaving jail he went to a temper- p ce barbecue where Dio Lewis was to T eak, but somehow Murphy was per- a aded to talk first, and Dio said, as he n r down: .1 on uon t want to near any- t! ing from me now. Take tlint man ami ? ml him over tliis country, and lie will b e it from one end to the other." Mur- ^ iv began his work at Pittsburgh with a o urse of lecture* before a temperance c: lion of young m- n, but these were not d ccessful, nnd Murphy one night broke w iwn while he was talking to some re- h irters, and said tliat he could never n >rk that way, lecturing in the clmrche', b it if he only could have a room where si i could fetch in a dozen or so of " the ci ys" off the streets, he might do some si od, nnd he burst into tears. One of a1 e reporte rs immediately went out and tl t !i room for him, the basement of a a! urch, and he began work as he wanted si with "the boys;" got th'-m to talk si long themsejves nnd reform each si ber, and started that mov? ment which o msforrued thousands of drunkards in I ttsburgh and Alleghany City into sober tl izens. tc Murphy is a s hort, stout man. When tl talks to an audience his speeches arc A livered in an easy manner at first, hut si nerally, after he has spoken smoothly ti d slowly for a while, an inspiration c cms to strike him; he sets himself ns b he was going to give a man a blow, ^ d for ten or fifteen minutes the lan- si uige flows from him like a stream of ri iter front a great fountain. You might G well take hold of a magnetic battery t; to take hold of his hand sometimes to s: like hands with him. He is a very at- h ictive man, all sympathy, all heart, li urphy refused a guarantee of ?250 a w glit for four months for a lecturing r: ;ir, saying that he couldn't do any r; oil that way; as a matter of fact liQgre- r< ived jtibt enough to live on, as Moody q es, and, unlike Moody, he #sks for no o pensive preparations, anil will not 'i mc to any pi are for any specified fi hp, for when lie inters a city lie means tl stay until lie has accomplished sonic- a ilJg' , Dom Pedro and Victor Hugo. g; The following is a new anecdote about w e emperor of Brazil: tl He recently paid a visit to Victor s: ago, in France. After a long inter- tl jw, in which the two celebritk-s con- h rsed upon divers topics, the emperor tl ked permission of the poet to repeat si ? visit, requesting him to fix a day. S [ receive my friends every day," said n igo, politely, " and wc liavo dinner at fi jht o'clock." tl After the lapse of some days, one b ening lit about half-past seven o'clock w e tloor bel! of the poet's house was ai ng, and a gentleman in dress coat and ci lite cravat presented hiraselr. ""Whom a all I announce?" said the servant, li Dom Pedro do Braganza," replied the b iitor. As yet there was nobody in the c< rlor.

Itell Itnlnlng on tbo Devoted Town?How the RusNliin Storming Party Carried tbe Forts?Terrible Slaughter. Letters from Tiflis give a graphic ketch of the Russian victory at Ajrdaan. On the first (lay of the attack the ipture of an outer fort was only rearded as a preliminary success. The ombardment of the other forts began at aylight the next morning, the storming rmy being all the time kept in readiness > begin their assault whenever the bomardnieut should have made a sufficient umber of breaches in the Turkish trongliold. After two hours the same una that had been pouring their fiery intents into the Ardahan forts began to ay their compliments to the city proper. tic itussian tiatteries, piaceu along tne ljoiuing hills, formed a semi-circle found the beleaguered city. Behind lese batteries stood the infantry, out of iglit of the enemy. Shot aud shell were eing poured into the streets of Ardahan, hen the Russian commander, as if vercomc with awe at the havoc ho was featiug, ordered the firing to cease, and emanded the surrender of the city itliout fnrtlier bloodshed. The Turks, owever, asked for conditions that could ot be granted. Once more the fearful ombardment began, this time directed imultaueously on the forts and on the ity. "With a sharp Held glass one could ">e already the piles of corpses continully accumulating inside the forts, but le Turks, with au obstinacy which [most appeared superhuman, answered iiot for shot. Only one fort remained ilcnt. Brave as were the Turks, their liells, however, did little damage; most t their shots did not oven reach the Russian batteries. Slowly, however, as le incessant Russian firing c 'lnmenced tell fearfully on the beleaguered city, ie enemy's fire grew fainter and fainter, t once the order was given to the torming colmnus to get ready for aeon. It was already six o'clock in the veiling and only two hours were left outre ciiirK, run me coiuinunuer, u'jium lelikolT, did not hesitate a m'nute. The ignal for tl;o assault was giveu. The ight wing of the storming column under feneral Hcymnun consisted of two batdions of infantry and one company of ippers. Ileymaun rode at the head of is column. The maneuver was a bril* ant sight seldom witnessed in border arfnrc. Forward they rushed through iviucs and valleys. Through another wine but leading to the same point two DgiuientB rushed forward at the double uick. The batteries followed the left f the column. Two regiments from 'iflis rushed forward, each against a >rt. All the battalions moved along in le form of a chaiu, the rear covered by deep body of cavalry. As the storming columns camcio sight f the enemy a terrible fire of shot and liell came from the Turkish ranks. It as apparent, however, that their tire, lough heavy, was aimless. Entire ilvos of artillery flew over the heails of le Russian infantry without doing the ast damage, and ten thousand car idges were fired off without hurting a ml, so bad was tlie Turkish flrinf. lowiy but steadily the Russians now loved forward, not firing a single Bhot >r fully half au hour, notwithstanding ie terrible tiro directed against them y the enemy. The moment they came ithin proper range, however, they imed low and iired deliberately. This )olness at once stamped the assault as success. Not a single cartridge wns red in vain ; the enemy suffering terrily, at la-st appeared to have lost its selfontrol. The Turks fired tremendously, ill all to no purpose. All at once the al!e of the doomed city looked like one ?a of flame, and then suddenly became uveloped in clouds of smoke. Slowly ut simultaneously the various storming jiuinns, now marching more quickly, losod in upon the forts, more and more it/x'x/tlm/v in o nowAn'/ir AAmnnaa llin Hi ...

As ley came upon the earth fortifications icir columns were massed closer and loser. The Turks now saw that the Russian attacks were irressitihle; that icy would soon have to take recourse to ,ie bayonet aiul engage in a liand to and conflict. At the sight of this the 'urkish infantry wavered. Whole regilents throw their arms away and took j flight. The artillerists, however, opt to their posts, but most of them ere killed at their guns Others abanoned their batteries without even spikngteirnng nificent guns. The city of Anlahan is, however, diided into two by the River Kura. On ic right bank, now made secure, are it moneiViiii! of tltn rioh thfi of io pasha, the hospital, barracks and tlie owder magazine. The other part of the itv, with the citadel, warehouses and a umber of government and other public wildings, lies on the left bank. Two ridges connect the two parts of the city, .s the Russian columns came over, the iiadel poured a terrific fire into their inks, causing severe losses. Butregilent after regiment rushed across the ridge, and moved up to tho citadel, 'he garrison became panic stricken, and ift ti e poor artillerists to their own fate, u the meantime the garrison that had m away from the other part of the city ere seen to cross the second bridge, 'he Cossack artillery sent a few shells mong th nn, and huudreds of Turkish ildien were thrown from the bridge lto the water and drowned. Fifteen minutes later a regiment from 'iflis also took possession of the second ridge, thus cutting off the enemy's re rear, ac mat moment, uie mom rum nibble episode ever witnessed in warfare, ccurrcd. Whole Turkish battalions hrew their arms away and jumped into he water, so as to save their necks by wimming. But even there the Russians rere ready. They fired at the swimling Turks -from tlie bridge and killed hem while in the water. A largo number .ho had taken refuge in the hospital and 11 the barracks continued firing from the ipper stories of these buildings upon the dvaucing Russians, but the soldiers ol lie Tiflis regiments soon overpowered hem also. The cavalry was now sent to he front to pursue fhe fugitive army. ?he infantry closely followed them. A treet fight of considerable magnitude icxt engaged the attention of the comlatants ; but the Turks were fleeing ust, and quiet was soon restored, the avalry pursuing the Turkish fugitives ome eight miles o;itside the city, where verybo.ly tried to save himself the best ray he could. As darkness fell upon he city the cavalry returned to the town rith an immense number of prisoners. The commander-in-chief, Louis Meli:ofF, who led the general assault in peron, entered tlio city immediately after lis troops had occupied it. The streets rere literally eover.d with the dead todies of Turks.

P" j The New York Tribune has the foljo lowing timely remarks in regard to the !r, prevention and treatment of sunstroke, e- taken from a report of the New York 8_ I Board of Health : | Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat, and especially if the weather is "mugIt gy." It is more apt to occur on the secer ond, third, or fourth day of a heated le term than on the firBt. Loss of sleep, ?; worry, excitement, close sleeping rooms, 5n debility, abuse of stimulants, predispose no ! to it. It is more apt to attack those working in the bud, and especially be?" tween the hours of eleven o'clock in the forenoon and four o'clock in the alio, ternoon. On hot days wear thin clothto ing. Have as cool sleeping rooms as a possible. Avoid loss of sleep and all nn necessary fatigue. If working iudoors, and where there is artificial heat?launi6 dries, etc.?see that tho room is well 3d ventilated. e* If working in the sun, wear a light hat (not black, as it absorbs the heat), "y( straw, etc., and put inside of it on the y, head a wet cloth on a large green leaf; frequently lift the hat from the head and n" see that the cloth is wet. Do not check perspiration, but drink what water you need to keep it up, as perspiration- prevents the body from being overheated. L" Have, whenever possible, an additional th shade, as a thin umbrella, when walking, ca JV uniiYtto ui uuu4u-cu?ti HHOU >rVSJLJ>?IJ? *? in the sun. When much fatigued do 1 not go to work, especially after eleven ,]. o'clock in the morning on very hot days or if the work is in the sun. If a feeling of or fatigue, dizziness, headache, or exhans,* tion occurs, cease work immediately, lie j 8* down in a shady and cool place ; apply | ;rt cool cloths to and pour cold water over rtt the head and neck. If any one is overas come by the heat send immediately for h" the nearest good physician. While waiting for the physician give the pc-rson cool drinks of water or cold black iic tea, or cold coflVe, if able to swallow.
