The three murderers had with fiend-
ish: ingenuity proceeded to kill tbeir
young victim by incbes by breaking
bone by bone. allowing her to die slow-
ly. Fifteen Clays were occupied in this
diabolical work, after which the girl
expired. For this crime a Siamese and

age each, and a "lukphin" were arrest-

was en reoeliness for toes ]asst and 'final

There was more whispering between
this red -toted exeoutioneal>s and the
victims, more teljustments to be made
and a few final touches to be given to
the positions of the cendemined or to
their general toilet turrangeanents. At
length all was finished after what ere
peered an unnecessary and erusily
prolonged wait for the three chief
actors.
"The I,ix-blood-red executioners retir-
ed with unsteady steps -for they were
all more or less under the influenee of
drink. to a recess under a bamboo,
and there prepared their toilets.
Sevres were unsheathed and heads
bound with reed cottotn bands. These
preliminaries completed the six brawny
headsmen, like huge blood. clots against
the innocent green foliage. with bare
arms and gleaming weapons, knelt and
tsalaamed six times in the direction of
the prisoners. This ceremony over the
,six men of blood entered the small
arena with fantastic gambols, a weind
waving of their swords, and a motion
little calculated to give accuracy of aim
an, i shoat dispatch. Amidst a deep
and deadly silence, the execution-
ers. in pair, sidled up to. their prey.

They were sentenced to death, and
after some considerable delay the
death mrareants were signed by the
lying, and the 25th of February was
set for tbe triple execution at Wat
efabakasan, behind the trifle butts.
The ground chosen for tbe expiation
of the terrible crime recorded album
was a barn patch within the wat
grounds and along the edge of the
lelong at Spatoom.
Though the locality is well removed
from tbe city and very difficult of (ap-
proach, except by beat, the execution
ground was craveded, from a very
early hour, by officials, Europeans and
crowds of natives and Chinese, who fill-
ed the klong in boats, or were perched
in every possible vantage ground to
view the gruesome proceedings. A
small ciacular spot had been inclosed
by a blue cloth, and inside this space
of a few hundred feet circumference
Europeans, to the number of 20 or so,
officials, police, soldiers, and execution -
ens were crowded.
The scene was as perieliar as it divas
kle%lareening, A few feet away could be
seen the newly dug and shallow graves
of the criminals about to be beheaded],
while moving in and out of the crowd
of natives could be seen
THE GRIM EXECUTIONERS
with their weapons of office tucked un-
der their arms. and with a matter-
of-fact air of business which somewhat
jarred on the nerves and attraiitedcon-
siderabltt comment. All attention was
fixed on the move.nents of these per-
sonages, conspicuous in their red uni-
form fringed with gold lace, and sev-
eral of 'whom were of herculean propor-
tions for Siamese. It was remarkeld
bow tenderly and with what apparent
solicitude the ]small bamboo crosses
were placed in the dry earth. 'A bird
might have pulled these stakes up, yet
they tivere intended to maintain the
prisoners in tensa 'while the sword of
eeetice did its awful duty.
The stakes, about a foot in length,
having been arranged, fresh banana
leaves were placed at the foot of each
stake as a vesting place for each pris-
oner, a little attention that was curi-
ously noteri in viely of the agtproaoh-
ing tragedy. -
These few persparations made and
after examination by the Governor of
the jail, it only remained to await the
principal actors in the scene. The exe-
cution had been fixed for 6 a. m., shut
it was now 7.20 and the condemned had
not arrived. A few minutes later, bow -

ed for .the clearing -house at 10.15 a.m.
on Wednesday to settle the balance
existing these against the bank, and
on the way, according to instructions,
transacted other business involving
something like $45,000. As he did not
return to the bank by one o'clock the
officials grew anxious, and made a
search for the messenger, beside in-
voking the aid of the police, but up to
the present hour they have been un-
able to ascertain his whereabouts.
Deputy Superintendent Burrow and
Chief Inspector Watts sent telegrams
to New York, Montreal, and all the
large oitiee in New England, giving a
description of King, and asking the
police to look out for him.
King has been employed at the
Boylston Bank about two yeas, com-
ing highly recommended, and his hon-
esty was never questioned. Ile has

occasions and bas never lost a dollar.

of the spertatoes. Each pair at execu-
tioners bad struck in turn madly and
blindly at the nook's of the oritminals,

fortunate iwotnan received aghastly

his head fell after three ,slashes from

Where were no two opinions among
those present as to the horrible mis-
management of the six executioners.
They bungled theitr work and caused
unnecessary rain and suffering. Their
unsteady and fantastic g:tmhols.which.
appeared unnecessary in these circum
stances, aitbgk'd to their libations, con-
tribute to maim the last a^t in this

THE PRTSON BOAT
was seen approwihing, and with chains
around their necks the three unfortun-
ates were led by their jailers into the
small arena reserved for their just pun-
ishment. The two male prisoners did
not appear to feel their awful posi-
tion very keenly, hut the unba,ppy wo-
man tvas scarcely able to walk, and
had to be borne along by her jail -
ems.
As is customary, a few , minutes'
tgraee-or agony --was !granted the
condemned. They sat down in a
group in front of the middle stake,,,.
and gnietily and passively enjoyed
w•Ibat little time was left them in chew-
ing betel -nut. The lukchin seemed par-
ticularly unconcerned, and chatted free-
ly with those about him. The Siamese
woman was. however, in a complete
state of collapse. Resting her emaci-
ated frame in a crouching„ position,
with her head falling forward on the
clasped hands in the attitude of fer-
vent prayer, the figure was pitiable in
the extreme, and led to many an ejJa-
otelatlon of deep sympathy among the
Europeen group of onlookers. It seem-
ed impossible almost to conceive that
this worn and frail piece of humanity
could have eseisted in the commission
of so
TERRIBLE A; CRIME.
Half an hour or so had now been al-
lowed these unfortunates], wh'd as-
sembled wild beasts led to the slaugh-
ter rather than reasonable creatures.
The executioners had in turn addressed
them, excusing to their victims the poet
they would have to play in the terrible
drama. Each criminal was conducted
to his stakes the woman being placed
in the center a distance of eight yards
or so separat dig each of the three t;on-

The rumour of which mention has al-
ready been made with regard to the
Sultan, namely, that he entertains
some notion of using the present junc
tare to obtain a more effective recog-
nition of his claims in Egypt, seems
to be gaining rather than weakening
in strength. It is very natural that
the Sultan should have this inclina-
tion,. He is only the nominal ruler of
Egypt, and although he receives a
large annual tribute -about $3,500,000
-from the country, he would much ra-
ther rule Egypt, as he rules Turkey, in-
stead of having it governed by an in-
dependent, and to some extent popu-
lar constitution, and especially in-
stead of having it practically under
the guidance and controlling influence
of Britain. When it is taken into con-
sideration that the prevailing religion
of Egypt is Islamism, and that in con-
sequence of his recent successes the
Sultan is more than ever disposed to
think of himself as a Heaven -inspired
monarch, anointed. by Allah to pro-
mote Mahometanism against all his
enemies, it will be seen that there are
further reasons why he should wish

An Admiral Discourses on the Merits of
the Water Tube Boller.
The points of advantage which the
water tube boiler possesses over those
of the Scotch type were briefly summed
up by Rear Admiral Fitzgerald in a
paper before the Institution of Naval
Architects. The admiral is recogniz-
ed as one of the most advanced and
practical officers of the English navy,
and his paper gave the good points of
the boiler from the standpoint of the
man who has to fight the strip. The
type of boiler upon which the observa-
tions were based was tbe Belleville, and
the experience was that gained on the
Powerful and :Terrible and on the
smaller range of experiments carried
out on two or three gunboats. The
points of superiority are: 1. Ability to
raise steam rapidly. The Sharpshoot-
er, a gunboat of 785 tons displacement,
has raised steam in twenty minutes
from "fires out" and cold water. She
would have taken from two to three
hours with her old boilers. 2. Ability
to make large and rapid increase of
speed, and also large and rapid reduc-
tions without blowing off. With a
Scotch boiler a ship has to be worked
up gradually to full speed • but with
water tube boilers even a large ship
can start off almost like a toppedo
boat. 3. Comparative %safety. The
risk from scalding in the event of a
shell penetrating the boiler room is
far less. Each of the water tube boil-
ers of the Powerful holds] only a ton of
water ; but each boiler of the Majestic
holds 22 tons. 4. Facility for examin-
ation, cleaning, and repairs. Unlike the
Scotch boilers, these can be cooled with
great rapidity without any danger of
injury, in order that they may be ex-
amined, cleaned, and if necessary, re-
paired. In the Scotch boiler such
rapid cooling would involve leaky
seams and tube plates. 5. Saving of
weight. The weight of the boilers,
uptakes, etc., of the Powerful for 25,-
000 horse power, with natural draught,
is only 1,164 tons. If she had been fit-
ted with Scotch boilers, it would have
been about 1,862 tons -a saving of
nearly 700 tons, or about 40 per cent.
He probably thinks that the present
would be a convenient time for making
a move idl this direction. He sees very
plainly that the powers of Europe are
somewhat disposed to give England
the cold shoulder, and that there are
jealousies arising from the present con-
dition of Greece. He sees, moreover,
the attitude of his friend the German
Enver* on the Transvaal question,
and further, that the Boers would be
only too pleased to start trouble with
a view to emancipating Lhemseives
from the Convention of London. He
also knows that Britain is pledged to
the Soudan expedition, and it may be
that, raking things all round. lie
imagines that a bold stroke for Egypt
made now would, if it developed into
a religious war, create such a con-
flagration that in the hubbub he might
not only reconquer Egypt, but that
the Armenian question, the reforms in
his dominions, and perhaps the ques-
tion of Tbessaly, might be arranged
to his advantage. He is calling to
arms the immense reserves in his Asi-
atio provinces at enormous expense.
Ile certainly does not want these
troops for the_ purposes of conquest; in
Greece -his army there is amply suffi-
cient foe all he wants to do in that
country. Of course he may be develop-
ing military strength with a view to
reslsting as far as possible clay de-
mands that may•;.bre made upon him by
the "concert " of Europe, and there is
alway,3 the doubt that there may be
some privy understanding with, him on
the part of either
GERMANY OR RUSSIA.
But, however, the situation is view-
ed, it is grave enough for Ehgland. It
looks very much as if she were enter-
ing upon another phase of "splendid
isolation."
That something of this seri; is in the
wind is evident from the preparations
that letrita.in is making. The British
fleet in the Mediterranean has been
reinforced by the C hu•nnel squadron,
and while part of this squadron is eon-
troling the Straits of Gibraltar, the
AN ELABORATE SUICIDE.
A despatch from Chicago, says: -
Goaded by his nefe's extravagance and
other domestic troubles, Professor
William F. Mitthan, dancing master,
committed suicide under tragic circum-
stances early on Tuesday morning in
the Chamber of Commerce building.
Perching himself aeon the brass guard
rail of the thirteenth floor, the high-
est building, from an interior view
point, of Chicago sky -scrapers, the
pa cin master leaned against an iron
illar and reflected a moment. Looking
down the well hole into the court be-
low from his lofty position, the pro-
fessor deliberately extracted a thir-
ty-two calibre revolver from his hip
pocket and placed the muzzle to his
right temple. Leaning a trifle forward
the professor pulled the trigger, and
simultaneously plunged h• adforemost
down the well to the court.. After
turning half a dozen somersaults in
midair the lifeless body struiek the
stone floor flat upon its back, break-
ing every bone in it.
