" Oco'rrfo Mnlcdon.of Fort Smith, Ark., is tho'cliamplon hangman of tlio country. Prom hia growsomo servico bo has ncenmulatcd a sufficient sum to huyk flno furm in Kansas, ami has announced his rctircmont as an executioner, and oxpecta to pass tlio rest of his days on Ills farm. Maledon has lived in this town twenty yearn', And during that time was tbo official hangman of tbo United State Court and snperintendone'd every logal execution that took placo in this Pod-era! Judicial district. Ho has banged eighty-eight men, and has certainly earned tho title of tbo "American Jack Ketch." It wot bis work on tbo scaffold horo that gave to Port Smith tbo namo of tbo "Gallows City," by which it is known over all Arkannas and the Indian Territory. It will bo a long tirao beforo people- of tbo country will think of Forth Smith without associating tho namo of tbo town with a dispatch in a daily paper, telling of another rufilan hanged ly Qeorgo Maledon. Tho g.illowa on which so many men bavo mot their death is a maesivo affair. It standi just south of tho Unitod States Jail, and about 100 yard's away. Thcro is n well-worn path running from the jail to tho callows, along which tho men aro led to execution.. Tho drop on this monstrous gallows is twenty left long, giving aniplo room for haogi g ton men at ono time. Sovcn met bavo been hanged at oneo a feat nliichbroko all previous records, and das never been equaled sinco. Six men vi-re banged at another timo, and thcro bavo been several quadruple, and triplo hangings. Surrounding tho gallons and at n distanco of about fifty feet from it is' a board fenco twenty-five feet high, which completely hides tbo gallows from public viow. Nearly all tbo melt who bavo been banged boro were disperadocs from tbo Indian Territory. LIKES To TALK AllOUT HIS WOIIK. Maledon is a small man who talks with a German accent and has a decided Teutonic cost of countenance. II 0 takes tho namo pride, in bis work that a skilled carpenter would in a neat job ho had done, and bo loves tc talk about bis work with stranger visitors. ITo says that ho bad a certain rnlo that ho followed iu bangiug men and that it depended on tho , weight of a man bow far bo would let him fall. Heavy men did not requiro tbo distanco to ditlocato their necks that a light man did. Ho refused to' say exactly what his rnlo was, but declared that it was infallible. When ho bad a man to executo bo ascertained his exiot weight, either by questions or an cstimato, and thon arranged bis nooeo accordingly. A banging by Maledon was worth going miles to see. It was a thing of Bcientiflo beauty, From tho 'momont tho subject began to preparo for tbo march to tbo ncaffold tho Iittlo Dutch hangman was at his heels. IIo had been up botoro daylight, greasing bis ropes, oiling tbo hinges of tho gallows trap, and adjusting and readjusting his nooso. lie followed tbo subject to tho gallows, and when tho foot of tho step leading up io it was reached tbo Iittlo hangman wonld trot around and trip jauntily np tho stairway ahead of all tho rest. From that moment Malcdon's faco was a study for a physiognomist. IIo heeded not the spectators or any ono on tbo scaffold oxcept tho subject, and bo moved around him with an air of ownership. Somotimcs, if tho subject was slow and backward, Malodon would encourage him with a few words of impatient hurry, as: "Ob, como on, now; it's nothing at all. Yoa won't fcol it, and I'll bavo it all ovor in a jiffy." Maledon would stand tbo victim on tho trap and thon, generally, would tako a chow of tobacco and stand with tbo nooso ready in bis hands, whilo tho clergyman prayed. Aftor that it was not a minnto till Qeorgo bad tho nooso fairly adjusted, tho black cap over tho head and tbo trap sprung. As tho body bung limp and swayed gently baok and forth, tho Iittlo hangman would walk around tbo square- hole of tbo trap with his hands on bis hips, looking down at tho swinging"hody and surveying it critically from every point of view, whilo ho ohewod tobaccoo anxiously UaLLlUft I L Should U0 33rLa.DpnnijD'fii FEMALE REGULATOR.

Malcdnu gained his proficiency as a hangman by cxperienco. ITo was not so successful with his first two or tliroo jobs as ho was with later subjects. Tho first man ho hanged was a Iittlo fellow who weighed about ninety pounds. He was not dropped far enough and tho nooso slipped so that tho knot was under tbo chin instead of the left car. As a result tbo man was strangled to death, and owing to tbo position of tho ropo it took a trifle- over an hour to caiim death. Wbon ho camo to bung his second man tho lesson learned in the other bungling job was remembered, and tho doomed man was dropped about eight feet. IIo was n largo man, and tho drop not only dislocated tbo neck, but tbo bead almost off tho body, and the sceno resembled a slaughter pen when tho execution was over. Dlood spurted out and over tbo spcctators,and such n sight was presented as sickened tbo beholders. Had the drop been an inch moro tbo small ropo wonld bavo completely severed tbo head from tho body, as nothing but tbo tendons and muscles in tho back of the neck were left intact. Ko such bunging job was over done by him again, no got strong sacks and filled them with sand, so that thoy weighed all tho way from 00 to 225 pounds, and ho practiced dropping them through the trap nutil ho knew to a nicety just how far a man of any given weight ought to fall to bavo his neck broken scientifically. Among tho first men hanged by was Qeorgo Ohildors, a full-blooded Oberokeo Indian, who was convicted of killing and robbing a peddler named J. W. Wedding, who hailed from Kansas. Childcrs attempted to provo an alibi, and did show that bo was sixty miles from tho sceno of tho crimo when tho body was discovered. Tho appearance of tho body, and tho fact that tbo blood, which still oozed from a horrible gash in tho throat, was fresh and unclottcd, favored tho alibi, as it did not look as thongh Cbilders could havo committed tbo crimo and then put tho distanco between him and tho sceno of tbo crimo which he did. It was afterward discovered that the reason tho blood was not clotted was that tho dead man had been left with his head in a stream of running water, which kept tho blood washed away as fast as it loft tho gaping wound. Tho cirenmstantial evidonco was strong against Childors, and bo was convicted. Even aftor tho jury had pronounced him guilty, Cbil ders maintained his innocence, and a great many pcoplo believed him. Ho was in jail for a long timo and mado friends with tho officers, many of whom believed ho was not guilty and ought not to bang. Maledon himself did not want to hang tho Indian, as ho bcliovcd him innocent. CONFESSED AT TIIE LAST MOMENT. "I did not relish tho job," said "but sinco Bomo ono bad to do it, I thought I might as well. I had my doubts about tbo guilt of Childors, and did not like to think that an innooent man was to bo hanged. Cbilders was gamo, and stoutly declared that he knew nothing of tho murder, and swore by all that was boly'tbat his execution was legal murder. October 14, 1870, was tho dato of tbo execntlon. It was about 10 o'clock in tho morning when wo took up our march to tho gallows. When wo reached tho gallows thero was a short prayer by a minister, who bad been consoling tho doomed man7 The minister said: 'Von aro about to onter eternity, John Childors, and I urgo you to confess your Crimo beforo yon go. Did you commit'tho murder?' " 'I did not, so help mo God,' said Cbilders. " said tbo minister, 'and may God bless you. If yoa aro yoa bavo nothing to fear.' i "Tho minister left tbo scaffold, and I adjusted tho nooso around tho neck of tho condemned man. As I pnlled thc uiacK cap over ms uoau, no saia: 'wait n minuto "I removed tho cap, and Childors tnrncd to tho United States marshal and said: 'Aro yoa really going to bang me, Captain?' " 'Yes,' was tho answer. 'You will bo a dcadman in a fow minutes.' " 'Thon I might as well confess,' said Ohildors. 'I killed tho peddler.' "When I heard that' confossion all tbo sympathy I had for Cbilders vanished, and he was no moro to mo than a log. I hurriedly replaced tho cap and pulled tbo trigger, and John Childors plunged through tho trap. "As wo loft tho jail and walked toward the gallows thero was a Iittlo cloud in tho sky. Daring ths preparations for tho banging this oloud had located itself directly over the scaffold and hung thcro liko a pall, whilo tho sun was shining all around us. Tho oloud did not seem to bo larger than tho jailyard, which is but a fow aoroa in extont. Just as I iouobed tbo trigger that released tho drop, thero was tbo most awful crash of thunder that I overboard, and tbo rain camo down in torrents. Tho last sound that assailed John Cbilders' cars was that frightful crash of thunder, and tbo accompany ing flash of lightning was bright enough to reach bis eyes, even through tho black cap and tbo closed eyelids. I bavo ofton wondered what effect tbo noiso and tho lightning had on the doomed man as ho dropped to his death. The minister was about half way down tho steps when tho man made his confession.

ASKED Ton A CnEW OX THE SCAFFOLD. Childcrs was a fool in moro ways then ono. After bis crime ho had been arrested and placed in tbo jail at Van Baron, from which ho mado his escape. Ho tfien took np bis residonoo in Port Smith and lived thero with a notorious woman of tbo town nntil tho United States Court was moved hero, when ho was again arrested and lodged in jail, wbero ho rcmainod until ho was hanged. On January 14, 1837, four men wero hanged at once. They wero James Echols, James Lamb, Albert O'Dell and John Stephens. A Iittlo girl of eight witnessed this quadrnplo execution, which, in ono rcspeot, partook of a humorous character. , As tho four men were standing on the trap, Lamb asked Maledon, tbo hangman, who was standing near, for a obew of tobacco. Tbo guard took ont a plug of tbo weed and banded it, together with a pocket knifo, to tho man wno was so soon to leavo earthly scones. Lamb cut off a good-sized chow, which ho placed in his capaoious mouth, and thon cut off a larger piece, which ho put in tbo hip pocket of tho now suit of clothes which had been famished for tho execution. Maledon watched this proceeding with considerable curiosity. As tbo tobacco and knifo wero banded back, ho re marked to Lamb: "Well, I suppose it is woll to preparo for a journey. If may bo somo timo beforo you ate wbero yon can buy any tobacco." Maledon says ho is really sorry that ho is going to rctiro as executioner and leavo town. Ho has hoped to hang his man beforo giving np tho business, but tbo subjects bavo como in slowly in recent years and as ho has only hanged eighty-eight mon, be is afraid if be remained in the business it wonld bo a good many years beforo he hanged twelvo more. Thcro is not so much money iu being hangman nowadays as thero is in farming, and it is that which has retired to voluntary cxilo. Ho says ho bis record of hang- fed is safo anyway from boing broken by any other man, so ho will bavo tbo consolation in bis retirement of knowing that ho is champion of tho world in his lino.

Thousands Injured and the Property Loss will Reach Millions of Dollars The City Paralyzed. iium)ui:iskim,i:i IN Till: COUNTRY St. Louis, Mo., May 28. Fivo hundred men, women and obildron of this city wero killed' or badly injured by a oyclono yesterday evoning. Two hundred lives wero lost iu this city and as many moro wero killed in East St, Louis, nhilo thousands wero injured, many of tbom so that thoy cannot recover. Tho exact number will not bo known for many days, ond perhaps never, for tho debris of. ruined buildings all over tho city cover hundreds of human beings. Tho damago and destruction of property will aggregato many millions of dpllars, but tho exact amount cannot bo oven estimated with ony degreo of certainty. Tho greatest damago on this sido of tho river was inflicted within a strip along the mighty stream. Many buildings totally callapsed from tho forco of tbo wind, others wero unroofed, while very fow in tho city escaped somo injury. Ton million dollars' worth of property has been destroyed, and tbo desolation now prevailing words cannot portray. This is a conservative estimate Sonth St. Louis is littered with bodies of tbo dead. East St. Louis is a gigantio cemetery. Under tbo debris of tho nnmerous buildings of that city aro many scores buried, whoso bodies will not bo brought to tho light for many days, perhaps never, It was tho most disastrous storm from every point of viow in tho history of tho city. Tho storm did Iittlo damago in tho business portions of tbo, city, Big strong buildings fell before tho wind liko houses mado of cards, From wbero it entered tho city, out in tbo southwestern snburbs, to where it left, somowhere near tho Eads bridge, thero is a wido path of ruin. Factory after factory went down, and piles of brick and timbors mark tho spots on which they stood. Dwellings wero and thrown in every direction Business houses wero flattened. Thousands of families in South St. Louis aro homeless, practically, and tho temporary hospitals shelter scores and hundreds. Elovators wero blown down, boats wero sunk, and churches and school houses wero demolished. Tho wires in tho city are dangling from tbo poles, but every olectrio light curfent is cut off. Tho Postal Telegraph Company wero tbo first to scenro communication with tho outer world, and now havo sovcn wires working to Chicago. Tho storm did not vent all its fnry in St. Louis. After working its chaos of destruction in Sonth St. Louis, it moved westward and ont in tho country, leaving another trail of ruin in its wake. It is impossiblo to get tho full list of tho killed or of casualties at this writing. At Clayton, tho connty seat, a new Presbyterian Church was leveled to tbo ground and another church was wrecked. Part of tho court house at Clayton was also torn away. Houses wero unroofed or totally destroyed in tho path of the storm. Tho barometer commenced to fall at noon, and by 3 p. m. it bad fallen 0:13 inch. Abont this latter timo tho sky quickly becamo thickly covered with dark, cumulons'stratus olouds, which by 3:30 p. m. bad settled into'a uniform mass of stratns cloud, which commenced to assume a light green color in tbo northwest. This green color slowly advanced from tho northwest, spreading moro toward tbo West and North, and at tbo same timo tbo tomperaturo commenced to fall. Tho normal circulation thus brought winds of different tomperaturo and humidities into suppressed position, with tho result that a decided instability was produced in tbo atmosphere, and a violent secondary storm center was created. Tho barometer continnod to fall rapidly, and by 0 p. m. it had fallen 055 inch sinco noon. Tho winds wero becoming variable, with a tendency toward a northerly direction. Lightning and thunder bad commoncod at 4:00 p. m,, and rain in tbo form of largo scattered drops at 4:43 p. m. At 5:01 p. m. tho storm broko forth in all Its fury: tho wind changed suddonly to northwest with rapidly increasing velocity and tho rain fell in torrents. A million dollars will not cover tbo damago dono to property. Tho dam ago was dono in a fow minutes timo, and how many persons in tho path of tho oyclono escaped is a mystery to all who passed over tho devastated section. Tho wind struck tho lovco just north of East St. Louis abont 0:30. Tho west half of Wiggins' wbarfboat wast the first to sailor, and it was thrown far up on tbo lovco Nono of tho railway yards escaped, from tho Cairo up to tho Wabash, and hundreds of cars stand in all shapes faraway from thoir proper nlarrH. Two In llin Vnnilallit yards wero thrown down an embank- meat and destroyed. Far down along tho leVCO from tho bridgO Wrecks Of , 1 .,... ..i steamboats aro found, Tho tornado, vented its greatest fury 1 along tho river front. Tholeveo fori Highest of all in Leavening IvvSI Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE miles up and down was devasted and laid wasto. Great steamers wero torn from their moorings at tho flast blast and blown down tbo rivor for miles. Of all tho craft that lined tho rivor for miles but ono remains to tell tbo story of disaster. Tho steamer J. 3. Odoll, of tho Illinois River Packet Company, was blown out from its wharf at tbo foot of Mor gan street, crashed into tho second pier of tho Eads bridgo and sank. Her boilers blew up boforo sho disappeared in tho boiling water of tbo river. Sho had a crew of twelvo and three women paBsongors, besides her Captain, Qeorgo Town bond. Tho tug Belle, of Baton Rougo, was anchored up tho river, was carried far down tlio river, falling over and over, and finally struck tho raft of tho Wiggins Ferry Company at tho front of Choteau avenue, wbero it sank. Tho steamers Pittsburg.City of Vicks-burg and the Providence, tho Capt. Monroo and boats of tbo smaller craft wero pitched and tossod about nntil tbo final blast rent them from their anchorage. The storm swept diagonally across tho river and struck tho Illinois bank within a few blocks of each other. Tho loss of life on tbo cast sido seems to bo light. Tho Belle of Calhoun and tbo Libbio Conger wero almost totally broken np. Tho KInn (I. Kniitli. flio harbor boat. was blown away down tho river and was wrec&uu. Whilo tho storm was at its height, tho passenger trainof tbo Chicago' & Alton railway pulled out on tbo bridgo from tho Missouri side. It was on its way East. Engineer Scott had only proceeded a short distanco when ho realized tho awful danger which threatened tho train. Ibo wind struck tho coaches, at first causing them to careen. At that timo he was about half way across. Overhead tho poles wero snapping and tumbling into tho river, whilo largo stones wero shifting looso from their foundations and plunging into tho water. Realizing that any momont his train wonld bo blown into tbo water or elso tbo bridgo wonld bo blown away.Scott, with rare prcsonco of mind, put on a full head of steam in on effort to mako tbo cast sido shore. The train bad scarcely proocoded SOO feot, and when within about the samo distance from tho shore, on upper span of tbo bridgo was blown away. Tons of hngo granite blocks tumbled to tho tracks wbero tbo train, loaded with pas- soigors, had been but a moment bo foro. At about tbo samo instant tho wind struck the train, upsetting all tho cars like playthings. Luckily no ono was killed, bnt several wero takon ont severely injured. East St. Locis, May 28. In comparison to its size, tbo fatalities and losses sufforod In East St. Lonis greatly exceed thoso on tbo other sido of tho rivor, Tho larger part of tho central portion of tbo city is razed to tho ground, whilo on tho flats along tho river bank to tho north of the Eads bridgo npt a honso is left standing.
