BIGGEST OF ALL TIMBER RAFTS.
A Vertebrat» of Logs That Muken a To
4,000 Feet Long.
The big Deary raft, tho biggest over r
together, that left St. John «»u June 28t
is now due at Hall Gate, New York.
ui
th
She
is towed by the steam tugs Edgar F.
Lucken bach and Ocean King. Five rafts
have been started from St. John in tow of
tugs and only in 1888 and in this ye
have been piilliid through the ocean suc
cessfully.
Tin* size of this latest raft is enormous.
At tho office of the Luckonbach Monday
said that the distance from the tugs
to the end of the raft is 4,U00 feet, nearly
-fifths of a mile. The raft is
solidly built structure like the cig
shaped raft that w.... / . .
ago. It is built in sections, with spaces
between of about S5 feet, and the sections
are chained together with the biggest
obtainable. There are 10 sections,
•h about 00 feet long and 40 feet wide
and 19 feet <leep. The total quantity of
timber is reckoned at «35 schooner loads,
about 23,000 feet of timber or 3,500,000 feet
of lumber.
Only oue mishap took place from St.
John to that port so far as is known. Off
Bur Harbor a storm arose and the raft
broke in two, six sections parting fr«im the
end, it is supposod, though detuils of
the accident are not known. One of the
tugs left the other to labor ahead and
ceeded in recovering the drifting sections.
The raft wus patched together again with
great peril and difficulty.
The raft will be towed to J. D. Leary's
lumber yarils, on Newtown creek.

In a leading editorial entitled Lincoln

the following important statement regard

the nomination of vice-president, in 1864.
"It is true that Hamlin, an entirely un
objectionable Vice-President and a leader
with peculiar chums upon the Republican
party, was rejected as Vice-President by
the Republican convention of 1884 to place
a Southern man in that office, and it is
equally true that it would not and could
not have been done had President Lincoln
opposed it. So fur from opposing it, Lin

A CHINESE EXECUTION.

--Ghastly Execution He
The Hong Kong Daily Press gives a
graphic account of the beheading of 19
Chinamen at Kowloon City, a brief ac
count of which has
lished. A number of Europeans went
over from Hong Kong in the afternoon
to see the spectacle. The prisoners were
to arrive in gunboats from Canton, and
three of these vessels were seen ap
proaching. Immediately on the walls of
the Ynmcn two men took up their posi
tions with gongs, and beat these at reg
ular intervals. Then from every hovel
and hut appeared
dren, all hurrying down to the beach to
witness the arrival of the gunboats and
the landing of tho prisoners. Mcauwliile
various reports were spread as to the
number of the victims, rumor giving
them variously from two to 20. Grad
ually the crowd began to thicken on the
beach, and the close proximity of the
evil-smelling Chinaman became any
thing but pleasant for the European
looker.
Shortly after 5 o'clock the gunboat 3

prisoners being in charge of Col. Leung
Tsow. Immediately on the arrival flags

fired. Colonel Leung, ac

came to anchor

companied by a body-guard of so
then landed at the wharf, and, mount
ing a horse which had been sent down
to meet him, rode up to the Yamen.
Two or three lower dignitaries we
also landed, and a mandarin shortly
afterward appeared on the scene. A
body of soldiers from the Yamen, armed
with guns of somewhat primitive ap
pearance, and escorted by
bearers, then took up their
along the beach and kept back the surg
ing crowd of Chinese who pressed down
to the water's edge.
All these movements were made de
liberately and with apparently
of making the function
possible. The effect produced
be said to have been that which a
to be desired. The lower types o
nature are much the same all the world
over, and the Chinese crowd on Kow
loon beach behaved much as a crowd of
London or Parisian roughs under simi
lar circumstances would do. Laughter
and ribald jests were to be heard on all
sides. A keen interest, of course, was
betrayed as each succeeding motion
leading up to the grand finale took place
and the appearance of the executioner's
subordinate with three swords brought
the interest to fever heat.
Immediately afterward four boats
containing the prisoners, who were
<" jand «Ä foot, '
on the beach and the prisoners disem
barked. Of these miserable wretches
there were nineteen, thirteen of whom
were concerned in the Namoa piracy,
the remainder being concerned in of
fences committed on Chinese territory.
* l . avin S ^en landed,
M'ere placed in line on their knees a

ally understood, these prisoners
drugged is not certain, but the majority
seemed to evince but little interest in
what was going on. One certainly had
the a PP earnnco of being drugged, or
olse was paralyzed with fear. He
carried ashore in a basket, and on being
placed in line on the beach fell forward,
burying his face in the sand. The vic

The victim a head is thrust forward to

hands, strikes with tremendous force
the outstretched neck. A scarcely per

soum i the sword Heaves the nerdf

and the next moment a head rolling in
the sand, jets of blood spouting in the
' , and the attendant tumbles the body
forward—a momentary quivering of the
limbs, the spout of blood stops, the body
stiffens—finis. Before this has scarcely
taken place tho executioner and his at
tendant are making the preliminary
arrangements with the next man. The
outstretched neck, the same omi
nous sound, and again another head
and body roll over. The executioner
is evidently master of his trade. From
one to another he goes deliberately and
quickly down the line, never faltering,
and at each stroke a head severed
cleanly and instantaneously from the
body.
Htay ! at the eighteenth man he is at
fault. Whether the executioner's arm
has begun to tire or whether it is that
his terrible sword has become blunted,
the head is not taken off, but rolls over
the shoulder, still connected by a few
sinews, while the blood spurts from the
neck, covering the features which still
move—a sickening sight. The execu
tioner, however, does not appear to be
put out. A glance at tho bungled job,
a word to his attendant, another
is handed to him, another cut made and
the work finished. The last head falls
as smartly as the previous ones. Then
the mandarin and officials retire, the
soldiers follow* and the crowd spreads
round tho corpses strewn along the
beach.
The more curious examine the labels
attached to the bodies, upon which
inscribed tho names and offences of the
prisoners. With the exception of these
the general crowd move toward the
Yamen, from whence the officials are
departing. The executioner, rushing
through the crowd, makes his way to
the chair of the mandarin, drops on his
knee and howls out something; the
mandarin nods and is borne away. The
various officers hurry on board the gun
boats and immediately set off for
Canton, iho Europeans rush dowu the
wharf and discuss tho best means for
returning to Hong Kong, while of the
Chinese villagers some return to their
hovels, some to the gambling houses
