THE PALLI‘UM CONFERRED. Archbishop Katler, of Milwaukee, Vested with the Ecclesiastical Garment. MILWAUKEE, Aug. 21. —With the pres ence of high dignitaries of the- Catholic church from far and ‘near, and with all the pomp and ceremony befitting the oc- casion, the Most Rev. Archbishop Katzer was vested with the pallium. The im- mense edifice was crowded with promi- nent members of the denomination from all parts of this and adjoining stfies. The seats within the altar were occupied by the visiting bishops, while without the rails were priests from every diocese to a total of several hundred, all arrayed in full vestments. Cardinal Gibbons occupied the throne, Archbishop Kstzer being upon his right and Bisll’op Foley, of Detroit, on his left. Around him were seated Archbishops El- der, Of Cincinnati; Ireland, of St. Paul; Bishops Bonacum, Nebraska; Burke, Cheyenne; Cosgrove, Davenport; Colter, Winona; Hennessy, Wichita; Hogan, Kan- sas City; Janssen, Belleville; McCloskey, Louisville; O’Hara, Scranton; Richter. Grand Rapids; Scannel, Omaha; Shanley, Jamestown; Watterson, Columbus, and th arch abbott of St. Vincent’s abbey, Pa. ‘he event of the day was preceded by the celebration of solemn pontifical high mass, with a choral accompaniment. At that portion the proceedings which mark the elevation of the host the Te Deum was rendered, and while the large congregation rose to its feet Cardinal Gibbons invested the archbishop with the pallium. The service was then resumed and followed by a sermon, the entire service occupying several hours. The pallium is an ecclesiastical vest- ment which Is worn only at the celebra- tion of pontifical high mass or at an epis- copal consecration. Its use at other times is forbidden by canon law. Special appli- cation for it must be made to the holy see. The pallia are prepared by nuns f10m white wool obtained from lambs which have been consecrated on St. Agnes eve in the church of that saint at Rome. The vestment is blessed on the festival of 8128. Peter and Paul, and must be deposited for one night on the altar of St. Peter’s tomb. Mother and Child Died Together.

Their bodies were so badly mangled as to be unrecog nizable. Brother and Sisters Drowned. BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. :21.—Three children named Armitage, one boy and two girls, were drowned while bathing in a. creek near Attalla. BRIEF DIENTION. Colonel Bentley, of Corry. Pa., was elected brigadier general of the Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania at the session in Harrisburg. Mrs. Amanda Eitnier, a handsome widow of Ephrats, Pa, was shotfland instantly killed by Lemon Ellsworth, a widower oi the same place, at a hotel in Lancaster The couple were in the parlor, when the tragedy occurred. It is supposed the man was desirous of wedding the woman, who was quite wealthy, and upon the latter’s refusal committed the fatal deed. A car heavily loaded was started down a steep grade, Dear Kane, Pa., by two young men for a. joke. At the foot of the declivity the car, which was running with terrible velocity, crashed into an engine, killing Fireman Pratt, while Engineer Galvin was fatally injured. The perpetrators of the deed an: unknown. It is believed from a clew given by Maurice W. Britton, the young student of the Episcopal ministry, that the body 0. the man found dead and clothesless in Howell’s woods, near Woodbdry, N. J .. is that of Herbert Leonard, a young artist. Mr. and Mrs. Ephraim Reker, of Bay City,1 Mich, awoke in the morning and found an utter stranger calmly sleeping in the bed with them, with his boots on. General Dyrenforth and his party of rainmakers produced a heavy rainfall of Six hours’ duration by the setting off of high explosives on a ranch 1n Texas, where they are conducting their experiments. Considerable excitement was caused on a Grand Rapids and Indiana. train by a man jumping 01! it when it was going at the rate of forty miles an hour. The train was at once pulled up, and the man, who proved to be crazy, was found Sitting on the track rubbing himself. He had re- ceived onlysome slight' Injuries. David Whiteford and August Kerchofi were buried alive in Lancaster, Pa, while engaged in building a trench for a sewer.

The Life Stream Poured from His Neck to the Prison Floor in a Torrent. The Bungling Execution of John Conway in Liverpool. LIVERPOOL, Aug. 21.—J0hn Conway, the steamship fireman who was convicted of and sentenced to death for the murder of the boy Nicholas Martin, whose body was found on May 19 last floating in a sailor’s bag in Hardon dock, this city, was hanged. There. was a sensational scene on the scaffold. As Berry, the hangman, was drawing the black cap over Conway’s head the latter shouted: “Hold on. I want to say something.” To this request Berry replied: “You can’t Speak now.” The executioner was then about 1.0 pro- ,ceed with his grewsome task when the priest who was in attendance 011 the crim- . inal upon the scafiold hastily interposed, pushed the hangman on one side and held Conway’s hand, while the condemned man, in broken tones, asked forgiveness for his sins. Only when the unfortunate wretch had done speaking and when the priest had replied to his plea for forgiveness did the latter permit the hangman to proceed. This incident caused intense excitement among those present at the hanging, but it was nothing compared to the' horrible scene which was to follow. His Head Torn .from His Body. In due course of me the drop fell and Conway disappeared rom view. Almost immediately afterward the priest began to read the confession of the hanging man. In this confession Conway said that he was intoxicated when be murdered the boy, and that his reason for taking the boy’s life was that he had a morbid curi- osity to observe the process of dying. Conway, in the same document, added that he had not assaulted the boy, as was at first suspected. While the priest was reading Conway’s confession a streaming sound was heard from the scaffold as if a quantity of wao ter was falling. A hurried investigation was made by the hangman and by the prison officials, and to their horror they found that the sound was caused by blood, which was pouring upon the prison floor from Conway’ S neck. The fall, it appears, had been so severe that the criminal’s head had been practically torn from his body; in fact, the head was only held to the body by the muscles of the neck. Berry, of course, came in for considera- ble abuse, the terrible bungling being placed to his account alOne. People be- lieve that this horrible affair will be freely used as an argument in favor of the abd lition of hanging as a means of execution and the substitution of electricity for the rope. Conway’s Crime. The history of the crime is as follows: Early during the morning of May 19 some dockyard laborers saw a black painted sailor’s bag floating' 1n Hardon dock. They pulled it out of the water and saw that it was marked “T. A. M. Girvan, ” and that it was decorated with the British and Nor- wegian ensigns crossed. Upon opening the bag the workmen were horrified to find that it contained the body of a boy about fifteen years of age, whose throat had been cut from ear to ear and whose legs were missing from below the knees. In the bag were also found a new knife and a saw, whichhad evidently been used in committing the crime. Subsequently Conway, a fireman on board a steamship and a leading member of the Seaman and Firemen’s union, was arrested and charged with murdering th boy. The body had, in the meanwhile, been identified as that of Nicholas Martin, and investigation showed that Conway re- sided near the place where the dead boy lived. A room on the top floor of the building, where the union’s branch oflices are situ' ated, an apartment much frequented by Conway, and where the boy had also been seen, was found to be sputtered with blood, although an attempt had' been, made to clean it by washing away recentr 1y made blood stains. A razor c0vered with blood was also found in a yard ad- . joining Conway’s lodgings. The Chain of Evidence Complete. ‘- Conway, upon being questioned, admit- ted being the owner of the bag in which the body was found and also said that he owned the saw which had been used in mutilating the body. A cabman identified Conway as a. man he had driven to a quay near the Hardon dock the night beforu the bag was found, and it was also shown ' that Conway carried a black bag upon that occasion. The man who sold Conway the Sword and knife was also discovered, and in a word the chain of evidence against Con- way was satisfactorily completed. The jury retired for about half an hour and returned with a verdict of guilty, and the sentence of death was pronounced upon the prisoner on Aug. 1 by Justice A. L. Smith. A Three Cent Piece Killed 111111. STEVENS POINT, Wis. ., Aug. 21. —Lynn . Fuller, twenty-six years of age, died, and the cause of death was supposed to have been heart failure, but upon holding a post mortem an old fashioned silver three cent piece was found in the vermiform ap- pendage, a vessel leading from the intes- tines, and out of which there is no passage It was badly discolored, and how long it had been there cannot be told. Thisn . doubt caused inflammation and thereafter gangrene.
