Anon, N. V., Aug. 6.—With a short,sharp phock—painiess so far asthe world will ever know—the soul of Wiliam Kemmler was sep- arated from his body at 6:40 o’clock this morning. A cup adjusted to the dead ot a man, bound captive in a strange-looking chair, a lever quickly swung around the are of a semi-circle, a quick convulsion, a sudden revival of muscular action, another turn of the lever, a pause, a room filled with sioken- ing fumes, and twenty-seven witnesses the first electricide in bistory knew that the death of Tillie Zeigler bad been avenged in law and the crime of Wm. expiated, so far as human hands couid force its expiation. An execution is always a ghastly sight. A lynching bee has about it an attendant excitement born of burried, boisterous action, which lends an artificial strength to the nerves of participant and on-lookers alike. But the slow solemnity ofapublic execution, the quiet, formal pre- parationsfor a judicial killing, are depress- ing enough to weaken the nerves and under- mine the courage of the bravest. S0, while Warden Durston could have found a bundred willing substitutes for any one of the twenty- seven witnesses which the law had com- pelied him to callin, itis safe to say that no one of the twenty-seven found any hilarious enjoyment in the spectacle. It is something to be able to say that you have witnessed the first electricide; perhaps that thought repaid many ofthe witnesses for the enaurance of the 0 SILENT HORROR OF TAE SPECTACLE. But the scene in that little room, deep- walled within the Auburn Prison, will live ia the memories of those who saw it as the fear- fuldescriptions of Zola’s fresh-born atrocl- ties haunt the mind and appeal to the sense for months and even years. The efforts to surround the affair with a halo of mystery, such as the law contemplated, was not alto- gether successful The outer world did not know the exact hour which had been flied for the event, but it knew the time approximate- ly and the little assemblage of lolterers atthe gate of the prison before dawn this morning was good evidence that the interest in the event was keen and general. Besides these curiosity seekers an active, anxious corps of newspaper re- porters gathered in the broad road in front of the prison grounds and waited for the signa! that should tell them thatthe execution was over. Just across the road in the dimly lighted freight-room of the New York Central Rallroad, at little tables improvised for the P rpose, satalongrow of telegraph opera- ors, sent from New York by the Western Union Telegraph Co., watching for the signal ofrelease ona dozen messages led for dit- ferent papers in New York and elsewhere. The fingers of the operators HUNG TREMBLING OVER THE REIS. The first click from the sounder meant to the man atthe other end of the line thatthe tragedy had been enacted, Atoneend of the telegraph desk sat the operator of the United Press, while the special representative of the United Press who had come to Auburn at tne invitation of Warden Durston, sat among the jurymen in the little prison cell noting the adjustment of the straps that bound the pris. oner to the electric chair, and all the prepar. ations which swiftly preceded the last act in the celebrated Kemmler case. The witnesses ofthe execution had gathered in response to the call ot Warden Durston at 6o0’clock this morning. The law named twenty-seven as the numberof those who should witness the execution as assistants or in same official Capacity, Of these District Attorney Quinby and the Sheriff of Erie County, the county in which{Kemmier was convicted, were two. The prisoner had been allowed the privilege of selecting two spiritual advisers and he had chosen the chaplain of the prison and Dr. Hough- ton of the First Methodist Church, his con- stant companion in his affliction since the light of religion first dawned upon him. The law further named as persons to be invited to the execution by the Warden, one Judge of the Supreme Bench of the State, two doctors, two electrical experts, and ajury of twelve persons. These with the Warden himself and sixassistants make up the list of twenty- seven. THE WITNESSES. The list of those who were presentto witness the execution is asgfoliows: Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald of New York, Chairman ofthe Btate ey Commission; Dr. George F. Shrady of York, Dr. A. F. southwick, the father of the electrioal execution bill; Dr. George E. Fell, Dr. C. M.

Atbo’oloek this morning there was a rap ping at room doors spd a general awakening through the hotels of Ruburn. Warden " ton had left a qulet yall for his witnesses, aos they were ag — report at the prison 0 | Ar Bu the cation wir is : 11 we POR TS Wf Sy 4. r Remmler | through — — — at cell, where the condemned man and talking to hie ar- In Dr. Daniel went over the instrument and the par- apherualla tor the autopsy. They had been in conference until 2 o’clock preparing the preliminaries. In his dining-room on the second floor of the prison building Warden Durston had spread a luncheon, and convict prisoners in white caps and aprons served coffee and sandwiches tq the hu assem- biage. Outside tne prison gates there was a constantly augmenting crowd, which exam- ined each new-comer with our interest. Across the street was a group 2 correspondents, two of them on & piatform twenty feet from e ground, in constant communication with New York City by telephone, ready to give the world the signal that the execution bad taken piace. The consultation of physicians last night did not determine the programme of the autopsy. Its details were left until the last minute, in doubt. Warden Durston told Dr. Southwick at 6:15 that when Kemmler was dead he would determine what was to be done with the body. The Warden had not announced the time for the execution to take piace, but it was the eneral impression that it was to occur before fre prisoners had been let out of their cells early inthe morning. The prisoner Kemmler was supposed to be in ignorance of the time fixed until the Warden should summon him from his cell to ENTER THE EXECUTION CHAMBER. But the little murderer was not entirely ig- norant. He koew from his guards that it had been the intention to execute him early in the morning of some day in the first part of the week last April. He had felt from the time that Monday came that the papalty would be inflicted on Tuesday or Wednesday morning. Monday it could not be because his good friend and adviser, Dr. Houghton, bed not been near bim all through Sunday and he knew well! that if hie doom had been itmmedi- ately impendiag Dr. Houghton would have been at his side. So when Tuesday morning broke and the gray refiected light stole down the little corridor and no summons came be feit that the last cay of bis ite pad begun that he bad twenty-four hours more in which to prepare bimselt forthe here- after. He spent that last day much as he had spent those immediately before it—in writing on cards and scraps of paper, the monotonous repetition of his name; and in talking with his keepers, Daniel McNaughton, the keeper who has been with him from the beginning and who firet led his thoughts in the direction of religion, was with him from noor to mid- night. Kemmler talked with him sometimes about the Bible stories in which he bas taken such an interest. The good Daniel, as the murderer has been pleased to christen bim, was moved deeply by his child- chatter. A strong friendship had grown up between these two men, so different in their dispoaitionsand in their lives. It was no stranger though than the warm interest which has been developed in thie brutal man by Mrs. Durston, the Ward- en’s wife, whose emotion wasso great as the time forthe execution approached that she was obiiged to leave the city to prepare her- self to undergo elsewhere the nervous shock ofthe man’sdeath. So ‘‘the good Daniel’’ and the condemned man satand taiked occa- sionally about religion and sometimes about more commonplace things until midnight ar- rived and then the keeper joined the watchers in the execution-room, who were giving THE FATAL CHAIR THE BAST TOUCHES. It stood at one end of alittle square room, was here and there about the ca of the bang ine of destruction to do ail that was re- — 2 of it. In the cell only a few feet away where Kemmler had spent so many months in quiet, restful captivity, the condemned man was lying on his little tron cot, SNATCHING A FEW HOURS’ REST. The ‘‘wonderful nerve which has been the su so much comment and which has been used so often to illustrate the brute character of the man stood by him to the last. He had assured Mrs. Durston in con- versation with ber many months ago that he did nos fear hie fate and that he would meet it quietly and bravely. He believed the as- gre gave him that the experi- ence would be a palnlese one. He knew noth- spruce-looking, broad-shouldered little man, full-bearded, with carefully arranged hair clustering around his forehead. e was dressed in d suit of new clothing, a sack coat and a vest of dark gray material, trousers of a mixed 133 pattern, a white sbirt whose polished front was e ed directly de- low a little bow of lawn of a Diack and white check attern. This was Willlam Kemmler, the man who was about to undergo tne sentenee of death. Be- hind bim walked Dr. W. E. Houghton and Chaplain Yutes. Kemmier was by far the coolest man in the party. He hesitated as the door was closed behind him and cerefally locked by an attendant on the other side, as JM 1 * ' * a ’ 2 — + #9 NM) | bas ‘us A Mi, 10 Mi Ly Mh © — 5 1 77 e . — ; 7 though he did not now exactly what to do. ~~. * S * ===. . os. we = . 1 ** SSS N 9 — oe SSB ary N — * =e esau, n KEMMLER IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR WITH THE MASK ON HIS FACE. - ing of the science of which he was to be made such a novel experiment. But he bad faith in the wird of those about bim and he relied on whatthey had told him. He slept through the first nigbt of the week ‘‘like a baby,’’ as one of hie attendants phrased it. He slept soundly on Monday night, THE 8UMMONS. This night, too, his sleep was calm and un- troubled. His friend ‘‘Daniel’’ stayed with him until morning. He had asked Daniei to stay with him and to be present at the end, but MeNaughtorn would not promise. He said he did not think be could bear to witness the last seene. At 5 o'clock Kemmiler was P **Give mea chair, will you?’’ said the War- en. Someone quickly handed him a woeden chair, which he placed in front and a littie to the right of the execution chair, facing the little circle of men. KEMMLER SAT DOWN COMPOSEDLY, looked about him andthen up and down without any evidence of fear or of special in- terest in the event. His face was not stolid— it was not indifferent. He looked, if any- thing, as though he was rather pleased at be- ing the center of interest. Warden Durston stood at the left ofthe chair with his hand on the back of it and almost at the moment that are all right, was another. Deputy Vieling unfastened the thumbscrews which heid the figure ‘*4’’ atthe back of the chairin place and began to lower it so that the rubber cup which held the saturated sponge pressed against the top of Kemmler’s head. The warden assisted in the preparation by holding Kemm- fer’s head. When the cup had been adjusted and clamped in place, Kemmler said: „On you'd better press that down further I guess. Press that down.“ the head pieee unclamped and Pp further down, le it was being done Kemmler said: Well, Ir , best Jean. I can’t do any better Warden Durston took in leather harness whichiwas to be adjusted to Kemwmler’s head. It was a muzzie of broad leather straps which went across the forehead and thé chin of the man in the chair. The top strap pressed down against the nose of Kemmiler until it fattened it down slightly over his face. As the harness was put in place, Dr. »pitzka, who was standing near the chair, said softly: ‘‘God bless you, Kemmiler!’’ and the condemned man an- swered: . „Thank you, softly. N N The doer leading into the room where the switches were arranged was partly open. A man stood in the door way. Beyond him tnere were two other men. Which of them was to touch the lever and make the connec- tion with the chair was not known. Warden Durston says it will never be kaown. The dynamo in the machine shop was running at good speed and the volt meter on the wall registered a little more than 1,000 volts. War- den Durston turned to the assembled doctors —those immediately around the execution chair and said: ; Do the doctors say it is all right?’’ Hardly a minute had elapsed since the ad- justment of the straps. There was no time for Kemmler to have weaxcened even if his marvelous courage had not been equal to the test of further delay. But there is no fear that he would have lost courage. He was as calm inthe cheir as he had been before he entered the room and dur- ing the process of his confinement by the straps, which HELD HIM CLO6S. Atthe warden’s question, Dr. Feil stepped forward with a long syringe in his band and quickly but deftly wetted the two sponges which were atthe electrodes—one on top of the head and the other atthe base of the spine. The water which he put on them was impregnated with salt. Dr. Spitzka answered the warden’s question with a sharp ‘‘All right,’’ which was echoed by others abeut bim. ‘*Ready?’’ said Durston again, and then, „Good bye. He stepped to the door and through the opening said to some one in the next room but to whom will probably never be known with certainty. „Everything is ready. In almost immoediate response, and asthe stop watches ip the hands of some of the wit- nesses registered 6:43%, the electric current was turned on There was a sudden convul- sion of the frame inthe chair. A spasm went over it from head to foot, confined by the straps and springs that held it Ormly, so that no limb or other parts ofthe body stirred more than asmall fraction of an ineh from Its resting-piace. The twitching that the muscles of the face underwent gave it for a moment an expression of pain. But nocry escaped from the lips which were free to move at will, no sound came forth to suggest that consciousness lasted more than an infinitestimal fraction ofasecond beyond the calculation of the human mind. The bedy remained in this rigid position for seventeen lighted from a point seven feet from the floor THE DEATH CHAMBER AT AUBURN. (Made by a Kodak Flash Light.) — —— by two windows looking out directly upon the road and the railroad station and all the bustle of “Auburn’s commercial life. And through their openings could be seen the gray dawn, whose light the murderer had not known fur more than a month of close con- finement. It was nota very formidable ob- ject, this chair ot death. It was bullt like a rough reclining chair, without cushions or springs to make its embrace more comfort- able. Small difference to the man who was to sitin it whether ite surface was padded or bare. At the sides and on the arms of the. chair were straps of heavy leather with sturdy buckles, capable of holding prostrate the most energetic of struggiing men (should the prisoner prove recalcitrant) or ofeubduing thetwitching or the convulsions that might, In spite of theory and experiment, pervade the frame flooded by the electric current. Above the bead of the chair hung a rubber cup containing a eponge. The wire by which it was suspended passed through a wooden figure 4, ciamped to the back of the chairand made adjustable to any height above it. At the lower part of the back of thechair was another cup and sponge. The wire from these cups ran to the two poles ofthe dynamo hose wire-wound arms were kept whirling at rapid speed through most of the night. On their way to tue dynamo room they passed the voltage meter which hung on the wall of the celland through the circuit of two rows of incandescent electric lights that hung on the wall of the adjoining room. These incandescert lamps, like the voltage meter, were intended to test the force of the electric current. And as the electricians swung over the leverthat threw the lamps into circuit with the big Westinghouse dyna- mo, the blaze that illuminated the chamber gaveevidence that whatever faults the eleo- tric apparatus might possess a weak current was not one of them. In one corner of the @xecution-room was A 8MALL SINK AND A BATH TUB. This room had been used asa reception room for convicts A here they had been washed before putting on prison garb. On the wail — | opposite the window were sev- eral gas and water pipes. From the center of the celling were suspended two ordinary gas fixtures with double arms. The walls and celling had been painted a quiet gray several months ago and they were still fresh and clean. The floor was of rough boards. To the right of the box which heid the incandes- cent lampe in the next room was a lever eighteen inches long. It closed or opened the ciroult in which the lamps were placed. To the right of this was another lever, like the fret in construction. By its oper- ation the ciroult connected ith the electric chair was closed, while at the same time the electric lamps were thrown och of circult. All of this ap- aratus bad been i again and again. The told of ite security and ance of its duty twehty-four hours before by the Warden to put it There was uees- 7 awakened take his breakfast. It was only 1 littie toast and coffee. He ate witharelish. In the midst of the meal Dr. Houghton and Dr. Yates were shown They came to give Kemmler spiritual: & consolation. Kemmler d them pleasantly and his mind seemed to be entirely un- troubled. Dr. Houghton spoke to himot the words of Jesus, In my _ Father’s house are many mansions,’’ and urged ulm to think of the hereafter. The ministers were still) with him when the Warden ap- peared. He had come from the execution cell with the warrants in his hand. There was to be no delay if the Warden could help It. In less than an hour the convicts would be out of their cells and the machinery of the reat factories would need the impelling power that was now turned on the dynamo. The Warden had chafead under the delay caused by the tardiness of some of the witnesses. He whole thing over as soon „ He greeted Kemmler please inn.“ and told him that the time ut in execution. Kemmier stood up be- side his little tron cot while the Warden standing in the door way read to him by the dim light of the Ilittie gas jet in the corridor the warrant for his exe- cution. At the end of the reading Kemmier shook hands with e and uard, lao, and ministers. He disposed the lit- tle Nr he to leave bebind him—bhis Bible and the @ scraps of cards on which he had written his name. 80 when the -byes were sald, turned 2 le 2 Warden and follo him into Kemmler took his seat he began to speak in short, quick periods. Now gentiemen,’’ he said, this is Wil- liam Kemmler. Ihave warned him that he has got to die and if he has anything to say he will say it. As the Warden finished Kemmler looked up and saidin ahigh-keyed voice, without any hesitation and as though he had prepared himself with the speech: „Well, I wish every one good luck in this world, and I think Il am going to a good place and the papers has been saying a lot of stuff thatisn’t so. That's all I bave to say. With the conclusion of the speech he turned his back on the jury, took off his coat and handed it to arden. This disclosed the fact that a hol had been cut from the band of the trousers down, so as expose the base of the spine. When his coat was off, Kemmler turned In the direction of the door through which he bad come into the room and began to unbutton his vest, At the same time the Warden wasn drawing the interfering drapery of his shirt through the hole in the trousers and cuttin itoffso asto leave the little surface of fles against which one of the electrodes was to press absolutely bare. Warden Durston called attention to the fact that it was not meces- sary to remove his vest, and Kemmier calmly buttoned it again and 1 arranged bis tlo. Don't hurry about this, said the Warden. ‘*BE PERFECTLY COOL.’’ He was perfectly cool. He was by all odds the coolest maninthe room. When his tie was arranged, he sat down in the electric chair as quietly as though he was sitting down to dinner. Warden Durston stood on the right and George Vieling of Albany on the left. They began immediately to adjust the straps around Kemmiler’s body, the condemned man holding up his arms 80 a8 to give them every assistance. Whea the straps were adjusted about the body,the arms were fastened down, and then the warden leaned over and parted Kemwmler’s feet so as to bring his legs near legs of the chair. hile were being arranged Kemmler the warden and his assistant: Take your time. Don’t be in a hurry. Be sure that everything is all right. Two or three times he repeated these phrases. Warden Durston reassured him with the remark that it would not burt him, and that he (Durston) would be with him ail through. But it was not fear that Kéemmler telt. 10 was rather a certain pride in the exactness of the experiment. Me seemed to have a gréater interest in its success than those who bad made the preparations for it been adjusted to aed 1 heid it Aad vy ru ran down the back of the chair seconds. The juryand the witnesses, who had up tothis moment remained seated, came hurriedly forward and SURROUNDED THE CHAIR. There was no movement of the body from the first convulsion. It was not a pretty sight— this mon in his,shirt sleeves, bound hand, foot, body aud even head with a heavy frame work pressing down on the top of bie skull, still with the stillness of death. Dr. Mebosald held a etop-watch in his hand and as the seconds flew by he noted their passage. Dr. Spitzka, too, looked at the stop- watch and as the tenth second expired he cried out: **Stop!"’ ‘*Stop,’’ erled other voices about. The warden turned to the doorway and called out Stop!“ to the man at the lever. A quick movement of the arm and the electric current was switched off. There was a relaxa- tion of the body inthe chair—aslight relaxa- tion—but the straps held it so firmly that there was not a quarter of an inch Variation in the position of any part of the frame. The quiet little group around the chair grew business-like. „He's dead, said Dr. Spitzka, calmly. „Oh, he’s dead,’’ re-echoed Dr. McDonald with frm confidence. The nesses nodded tneir aequiesence. no question inthe mind of any one but that the stiff, upright object before them was life- less. This was the programme, this the in- evitable effect. The next question was; „What was to be done with the body?’’ Dr. Spitzka stepped forward and called attention to the appearance of the nose, which he said had an -undoubted post- mortem color. No one d@isputed this. Dr. Spitzka turned around ina business-like way and pointing tothe harness said: Oh, undo that. Now the body can be taken to the hospital.’’ The Warden replied that he could not let any ofthe witnesses gountilhe had their certificates. All of thie conversation took but a minute. Dr. Balch was bending over the body looking at the exposed skin. Suddenly he cried out sharply: Pr. Me- Donald, see that DEAD. moment Dr. Spitaka and Dr. MeDonald haa bent over and looked where Dr. Balch was pointing at a little red spot on the hand that rested on thé right arm of the chair. 0 index finger of the band had carved backward exor mascies con and had , small hole lu the skin at the mene or b on the back of the haud.

It came with the same suddenness that had marked the first shock which passed through Kemm- ler’s body. The sound which had horrified the listeners about the chair was cut off sharp- ly as the body once more became rigid. The slimy odge still dropped from the mouth and ram slowly ip three lines down the beard and on to the gray vest. Twice there were twitchings of the body, as the electricians in the next room turned the current on and off. There was to be no wis- take this time about the killing. The dynamo was run up to its highest speed and again the full current of 2,000 voits was sent through the body im the chair. How long. it was sept in action no one knows. o the ex- cited group of men about the chair it seemed an interminable time. For the men who stood in front of the volt- meter in the adjoining room and threw the switch lever over backward and forward time had no measurement, Dr. Daniel, who looked at his watch excitedly and who thought be had an approximate idea of the time at least, sald that it was four and a baif minutes ln all. The Warden’s assistant who stood over the dynamo said that on the second signal, the machinery was run only 34g minutes altogether. It will never be known with any degree of accuracy what the space of time was. No one was anxious to give THE SIGNAL TO STOP. All dreaded the responsibility of offering the man a chance to revive or to give again at least those appearances of returning anima- tion which had startied and sickened the wit- nesses afew minutes before. As the anxious group stood silently watching the body sud- denly there arose from it a white vapor, bear- ing with it a pungent and sickening odor. The body was burning. Again there were cries to stop the current and again the Warden eprang to the door und gavethe quick order to his assistants. The current stopped and again there was the relaxation of the body. Ne doubt that this time the current had done its work—if not well, at least completely. Dr. Fell, who stood special correspondent of the United Press, turned and said: ‘‘Well, there is no doubt about one thing. The man never suffered an lota of pain.’’ In after consultations the other physicians expressed the same helief. It was some mitigation of the horrors of the situation to believe this. There was some consolation in the thought that these heavy hoarse sounds were not the evidences ot suffering. But the mitigation was slight, when it developed thatin another and just as important point—one on whicb the success ef the experiment seemed to depend largely, not altogether—these same doctors disa- greed very materially. Was Kemmler dead when his chest moved and bis lips gave forth those strange, ghastly sounds? Was he breathing or was there involuntary and phenomenal action of the chest muscles? Some ofthe eminent experts in attendance said to the United Press corres- pondent while the body was still warm in the chair, that there was no doubt that there were signs of returning animation—that the respiration (for respiration they delleved itto be) Was growing stronger and that in time, ifthe current had not been turned on again, HE WOULD HAVE REVIVED. Others, and among them Dr. Spitzka, stated with equal positiveness the conviction that the first shock killed Kemmler instantly. Dr. Daniel Southwick, the father of the system of electricide, believes that Kemmler was dead, but they think that the current should have been continued longer than seventeen sec- onds, which wasthe official time of the first contact. There is no way in which a positive determination of this question can be made. It will alwavs remain a mystery. There was no doubt that Kemmler was dead. The round mark on the top of his head where the swift current had seared his skin and burned his hair was eyi- dence ofthe strength of the shock which had brought him to his end. But there was no haste about taking him outof his chair. He sat there quietly enough for a minute or two. Then the Warden unfastened the harness which held bis head and took it away. The head did not fall. It rested quietly upright, the eyes being E open. Tus doctora bent over him and looked into those eyes, They examined the discoloration on the temples,where the leather band had — 2 them. Finally some one bent over an REMOVED ONE OF THE SHOES, Then the other strans were undone and the body slipped forwardalittie and rested ina stiff pose half in and half out ot the chair. A long table stood in one corner of the room. Two of the physicians carried it to the center of the chamber andthe Warden suggested that the body be placed upon it. The physicians gathered about and consulted for a few minutes, determining finally that they would hold the autopsy in an hour’s time. The room was then cleared, most of the witnesses going to their hotels to get breakfast, while the Warden retired to his apartments upstairs. The body was left in its half recambent position inthe execution chair. If there was any blunder in the arrangements this morning it was not the blunder of Warden Durston. If there la any eriticiem to be passed upon the affair, be will notreceivo a part of it. District Attorney Quimby of Buffalo, who saw the preparations for the event, was taken sick and left the chamber before the execu- tion. He fainted in the baliway. THE AUTOPSY. The autopsy was begun about9o’clock. It was in charge of Dr. Jenkins of New York (who handled the knife), Dr. Daniel, Dr. McDonald and Dr. Spitzka. Dr. Fell prepared the blood drawn from the body for examina- tion under the microscope. It was ftound when the body was spread out on the table thut a very severe rigor mortis bad set in. There was little relaxation and it was with difficulty that the corpse was straightened out. On examination it was found that the second electrode had burned through the skin and into the flesh atthe base ot the apine, mak- ing a scar nearly five inches in diameter. Tne heart, lungs and other organs were taken out and were found to de ir good, healthy condi- tion. They will be preserved for further ex- amination. The brain wes See out and it, o, will be carefully examined, “Phe examination of the brain showed that the brain was bardened directly under the spot where the electric current had come in contact with the skull, and that the blood at that spot was hardened, showing that the cur- rent had bad action direct on the brain, DR.

HISTORY OF THE CRIME. The Brutal Marder of Tillie Ziegler—A Leag Legal Squnbble. The crime for which Kemmier was senten was a very brutal one and would have ps tracted very little interest but for the fact that it was the first murder the punishment for which was ordered to be death by electricity, The crime was committed early last year, when Kemmier backed his mistress, Tune Ziegler, to death with a hatchet in the most revoiting manner, and was induced to con. feas the crime while drunk in jail at Buffalo, His trial followed speedily, conviction came as amatter of course, and be was sent to Au- burn Prison on May 2, 1889, doomed to dieg month later. Then began one of the most remarkabig fights on purely legal technicalities eves recorded in the criminal annals of the State. Step by step was the case appeuled and reap. peaied, until at last all the ordinary remedies of the State courts had been exhausted and Kemmier was ain sentenced to die, tui time in the week ginning April 27, 1890. Under the new law the warden of the pr son in which an exeention isto take place must fixthe exact hour, but hemust keep that hour a profound secret, even from the con- demnea person. The latter must be rigor- ousiy excluded from the outside world, with whom he must hold no intercourse. No one save his spiritual advisor,his guards,who are always with him, the warden and such other assistants as the latter may designate, shall be allowed to conWerse Or even to see the con- demned. His confinement must be as near — confinement aa it is possibie to make t. CONSTRUCTING A DEATH CHAIR. On the day of the execution only twenty- seven persons may be admitted to the death- chamber,which must be near the cell ia which the culpris is confined. Of this number twelve must be citizens acting as jurymen; seven are assistants to the Warden, two physicians, the Circuit Judge and District Attorney by whom the culprit was convicted; the Sheriff of the county in which the conviction occurred and two clergymen selected by the doomed per- son. When these persons shall have assembied the warden, or seme one for him, is required to administer a sufficient electrical force tc cause instant death, after which the bod must be buried secretly and in quicklime te insure rapid disintegration. This is all there is to the new law, except that the newspapers are prohibited from printing any of the de- tails of an electrical execution. The details are, in the main, left to the disoretion of the wardeh. In Kewmiler’s case, Warden Durston of Au- burn found that he would have to act as a sors of pioneer for the other wardens of the State, He therefore began early to make bis prepa- rations,and sought the advice of the most ex- perienced electricians and humanitarians in the country. Ihe first thing he did was te discard the cumbersome reclining chair fur nished him by State Eléctrician Harold . Brown. In its stead he built a strong, up- right, massive chair, very like a high backed dining room chair, without any tIrills on whatever. Then he ran wires from a dynam in another part of the prison into the deat chamber and arranged them so that by turn ing a lever, placed on the wall behind th chair, he, or his assistant, could direct th full voltage through the body of the crimifal from the apex to the base of the spine. THE STRAPS TOO NUMEROUS. All this was completed by June 25, 1889. The Warden then sent out invitations to a lot of scientists to come to Auburn and see the exe- cution. Among those invited were Drs. Spitzka, Rockwell and McDonald, Deputy Coroner Jenkins of this city, Dr.C. M. Daniels of Buttalo, Elbridge T. Gerry, Matthew Hale and Dr. C. P. Southwick of Buffalo. Members of the State Commission of Electrical Execu- tion were also invited, as was Dr. Fel! of Buf- falo, who is the patentée of a resuscitating machine. Distriet Attorney Quinby of Erie County came as a matter of course and be- cause he had a right to. 80 did about Sity newspaper men from all parts of the State, detalis whether the law said so or not. Dr. Southwick was — 1 — figure among the guests who accepted Invitations, for he is was who first bezan to agitate for a change in the manner of inflicting judicial death, and it was mainly through his exertions that the law was oventually changed. Dr. Southwick makes his living by practicing dentistry, but finds time to devote to acientific studies, and has become convinced that death by the elec- trical current is a merciful one. By a peculiar chance tbe first man on whom It is to be tried — from Buffalo, where Dr. Southwick ves. When the guests reached Auburn Warden Durston showed them bis handsome death chair aad asked them how they liked it. Dr. Southwick thought it too compiimated and he was pretty generally agreed with. The com- plications are in the unnecessary number of straps, of which there are seven altogether, making It nec@ssary to buckle seven buckles before the fatal sheck. Dr. southwick thought a strap across the eyes, holding ue head in position, would be enough. WAITING FOR THE WORD. By Tuesday, April 29 last, all tne guests had arrived and the 899 were complete. Kemmler seemed unmoved dy the near ap- proach of death, which it was generally understeod would come to him at daylight on Wednesda morning. Those having invita- tions had u notified to assembie within the prison walls on Tuesday night, where they would remain until the supreme hour. Every- body in and about the prison was on tiptoe of expectation, and at noon, Tuesday, the newspaper correspondents were making the most tremendous efforts to get every bit of news that came from the prison. Extraordinary preparations had been made to transmit the news to this city, and the vari- ous evening newspapers were making espe- clally strenuous efforts to outstrip each other in the telegraphic race to their respective offices. Ons ot these hada completely fixed h office perched ona telegraph t above the ground facing the window of the death chamber. Another had a similar office located in the show window of a barroom facing the prison. Signal codes were arranged so thatone or more flourishes ofa hand,a hat, a cane ora handkerchief might mean volumes to a waiting confederate. The fight was on and the newspapers were ready to show the public thatthey were going to furnish the news just as it the law did not forbid it. It was felt that the pubilc had a rightto know the fullest and most minute particulars of this initial electrocution, asd even Dr. Southwick, the father of the law, acquiesced in their efforts. The arrangements were so perfect that the fact of Kemmier’s death would have been known all over the State in ten seconds after it occurred, and the detalles would have been printed broad- cast in less than an hour. AT HOUR. But all these weil-iaid plans were destined to — 1s Kemmier was to have anew lease of life. It came about II o’ clock Tue day morning in the shape of a writ of habeas corpus rr Warden Durston to pro- ducethe body of William Kemmier before United States Judge Wallace in Canandiagus on the third T in July, and M.

Springer’s Col- ored Man Causes Trouble in the West Pines.” A Well- Known Charity Worker Arouses Considerable Race Prejudice on Cab- anne Avenue. Bhe Hires an Apartment in the West Pines” for an Old and Faithfal Colored Servant Named Benjamin Scott asd New an the Rest of the Occupants Are Threatening to Move Out—A Very Nevel and Amusing Develepment in the Rae War—The White Occupants ef the Flat te Wait on the Landierd, Mr. Saylor— What Mrs. Saylor Has to Bay About the Case. There is a little community of estimable people on Cabanne avenue just south of West Pine which is bubbling over witb indignation because of an occurrence which they deem an inexcusabie outrage. The commualty occu- pies the handsome flats known as the ' West Pines, which were built by Mr. B. F. Saylor, whose residence is on the same lot. The flats are beautifully finished, Lone handsomer are there inthe city and those who occupy them are charmed with their quarters, or rather they have been until recently, when they discovered in their midst the presence of anegro, who was ovcupying one of the ele- gant rooms and using tne front door, much to the inconvenience and annoyance of the la- dies. There are four families in the fiat, Mr. Frank Curtis lives there with his family, Mr. Lawrence Pierce, who is in Mr. Charlies Turner's, lives there with bie wife, Mr. B. Shelby and his wife and her neice, and Mr. Arthur 8. Reed of the Continental Bank with his mother and sister, has apartments there. The West Pines is a flat, it la true, but bereto- fore it has been like one big bouse with a very large family in it. The members of the four families are ull pleasant, congenial people, andinthe evenings they sit together at the front dour in warm weather or in a common parior when the evenings are cool. An ideal sort of existence it was, where each was pleased by social intercourse witb other Pleasant people, and none of tbe troubles of every-day life were permitted to eruss the portal. THE ONLY WORRY. There was one Vacact apartment, and it was Whothe tenant should be Was aserious question with the occupants, and they keptaciose watch upon those who asked to rent it, for they were determined to keep out anyone who would not add to the pleasure of that little society. Several people applied, but Mr. taylor found that they were nut known to the circle of bis tenants, though they raised no Objection, but Mr. Saylor is a considerate land lord, and be did not wish torent the fiat without the approval of those who were there, so the tenunts felt safe, believing that intheend they would add another fawily of thelr own choosing to their little circle. Atinst Mis. Catherine R. Springer, a lady whohas been very prominentin ebharitabie work in st. Louis, wanted torent tbe flat and her coming was discussed in the West Pines. Ihe fact that she was in pubiic work was considered an argument against her, but as there was nothing in the worid against her ‘personaliy she was received and the last va- filled. Aire. Spriager It has upset the ines terribly to find out that instead of being an wdditionsa!l guard to the peace and content- ment of the fat, the occupation of that apart- ment is the cause of serioas trouble. BENJAMIN SCOTT, COLORED. Mrs. Springer brought with her aspruce, nent Soret mun of color whose name is Benjamin tt, and whose occupation is that of waiter at fashionable entertainments, He established himeeif in one of the rooms of the flat ad olming Mrs. Springer’s suite, and there be as made his abode just like the other oc- cupants of that erstwhile bappy household. He was nosooner in than the ladies began to Inquire what he was doing there. They did mot wanttolivein a house with a negro, but they did not care to act rashiy, so they have been waiting to find out what explanation Mrs. Springer gave of his presence before taking any steps. At last they asked Mre. Spingerand she toid them that Ben wasonly a eervant. She had raised him and took him with her everywhere she went because sue ha! no one else to pro- tect her. If Ben had dressed and behaved like a servant that would probably have been the end of the matter, but he dresses well and as he works elsewhere he only goes to the flat to sleep, though sowetimes be ils therein the day. Gossip about the colored man floated around tbe ate yesterday afternoon and started a breeze which is rapidly «rowing into a whiriwind strong enough to sweep the dashing Benjamin out. BEN DRINKS CREAM. He was there wien tie wilkman came, and one of the ladies heard Mrs. Springer ask, Ben, do you want some cream.’’ E he did, and the cream was ordered. Then the ladies put their pretty iittie feet down, aad ad that would not do. A servant was all right, but when a servant occupied one of the rooms of the bouse and was treated with that much consideratien, he was put too nearly on au equal with them and they would not submitteilt. Of course the triendeto whom they spoke sus- tained them, andthey had determined to do something when an Incident occurred which made them really angry. They were s‘tting onthe steps last night, and Mrs. Springer’s pervant bad been spoken of, but the conver- Sation had changed to a lighter subject, when aman walked up tothe front steps aad stood before the ladies, waiting for them to move bo that he could enter. They did move, and made a passage way; the man cooliy waiked Up the steps and into the house. As he started up the steps one of the ladies salu: **THERE Is A BACK DOOR—’’ and therm she stopped. She thought the man was Ben, but she wae not sure, for the lixht was very dim. She was going to say that there wae a buck door for servants. Fearing that she might be mistaken, she stopped. But when the man entered the hall and and stood under the gasiicht they saw it was Airs: and they were angry. hen they realized that thie man bad made them move toenter the front door they de- termined to speak to their husbands and brothers and have that sort of thing stopped, and they did. Then the gentiemen kvew for the fret time of what had been going on, They had seen the fell: w about the place and had wondered what he was doing there, hui thinking tbat, of course, he was ouly @ servant they bad paid but littie attention to the matter. When they found that their wives sud mothers and sisters ob- Je, ted to hie presence they objected too, and when they were toid that thefeliow was using the front deor like everyone else, and requir- fina the iadieste get ue and stand aside to eadmit him, they made up their minds that nothing of that sort should occur again. They Gad sothing this morning but to-pight they pose tonotily Mrs. Springer that uniess goes out of that house they will. WHAT TE LADIES SAY. The rumor is abrvad in the Pines that Mrs. — ghd pan one she was going away Friday might and Bén wouid stay there aod take oare Ser apartments whileshe was away. Ken biy will uot. The families residing re have come to the ceuciasion that the introdugtion of a negro into the Pines is inex- cusabie, and that he will have to * Ihe would not complain if was there as «a servant, but one of the leaders expressed the feeling of them all when she said toa friend, W. are id of our owa reputations in the neigh.

But this man doesn’t dress like a seryant, he is employea somewhere ede and goes to bis ush es and comes back bere to sleep just as the gentiemen do. HE DOESN'T * “Ihave never seen fim do any servant’s work about the place, and he doesn’t do Mrs. Springer “e work for she does it herself. if this sort of thing goes on people will say that it is a pretty mixed sort of à crowd that lives in the Pines and we don't propose to run the risk of having such things said about us for the accommodation either of Mrs. Springer or her neuro servant, as he is called. It doesn’t matter if Mrs. Springer did raise him, that le no reason why be should be brought to live among ladies and gentlemen, and we will not submit te it. Mrs. Springer is one of the best known ladies in St. Louis, She bas been very prom- inently counected with charitable work for 292 and bas been one of the most ladefatiga - le workers in the Woman's Christian Home and Woman's Training School,. She was one of the managers of the ‘‘Exposition of Authors,“ a very magnificent and successful fair which was held at the old rink some years ago, probably the most gorgeous thing of tbe kind, and one of the most successful socially and Onancially that was ever held in St Louis, and its success was largely due to Airs. Springer’s efforts. MRS. BAYLOR TALKS. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Saylor, owners of the Hats where the parties Interested reside, were seen this afternoon, Mrs. Saylor expressed herself quite freely, but Mr. Saylor said it was nobody’s business but his own and the resi- dents of the fiat. Mrs. Saylor saia: „am surprised that any onpleasantness should have arisen. Mrs. Springer is a lady well-known for her many charities, and is in every resect a model woman. The colored man isan old servant of the family. Who was im her employ before her husband's death and on thet occasion faithfully attended and cared for Mra. Springer during her iliness which that painfal shock occasioned. There has never been any objection urged by otber parties with whom Mrs. Springer has lived, tothe colored man occupying any room he mightdesire. He is an honest and entlemanly servant and Mrs. Springer kept him for a protection, she being alone in the world, and also for the purpose of attera- tion to ber during periods of great nervous prostration to which she is subject. As to the colored man disturbing the ladies of the house when seated on the steps by compelling them to arise and give him passage to his room. I guess the steps don’t belong to any particular boarder and be basa perfect right to wo in and out as he may choose. He has been sick for a day ortwo and been compelled to stay at home, and while Idon’t suppose he has disturbed anybody. There le where the objection likely lles. They don’t objeet to my colored janitor who sleeps in the house, and why on earth they should to Mrs. Springer’s Ican’t understand.“ „Mr. Saylor said that he was the judgeas to who were the proper tenants for his flats. It the ot er peopie don’t like it,“ he said, ‘‘this is a big town and they can get accommodations elsewhere. Tbe colored man ie weil behaved, and as long as he ls tust he can rémain. Mrs. Sprenger is going in company her sister to Boston in she can leave and allow bim to oecupy any room if she so desires. His isan isolated room and he thrown in contact with any of the others and, reckon, it woult not hurt them it he was. I cap take charge of my property, and don’t propose to have anybody else try to do it for me.. n THE WORK. THE WEATHER. and Dry &till the Cendition asd the Predictien for This Vicinity. There is one thing this weather is good for: The making of hay. The marketis crowded with it aud farmers are not happy over the prices they are receiving. Theone thing of which there is aplenty is notin demand. The demand for those things they have not is imcreasing. Corn is going up, and all other products of the farm are getting such value attached to them that the man who by favor of nature has a ful, crop will be rolling in wealth. Yesterday's coo! Inauguration was not duplicated in ite close, and notwithstanding the very low temperature of last night—which made biankets comfortable —the mercury climbed above the norma! to- day. The prediction for the twenty-four hours from 8 a. m. to-dayis a little bigher temperature, winds out of the South and no rain. Het ILLINOIS CROPS. The Illinols Department of Agriculture last night issued the following crop bulletin on conditions reported up to August 1: ‘*The past month has been one of unusual droutb and bigh temperature, and mach dam- age is being done to erowing veuwetation of every description, The corn crop and pastar- age has suffered in some portions of the State to an alarming extent. Out of the 102 counties in Iilinols only four failto complain of the lack of precipitation and ite damaging effect on the growipg crops. Ie effe mate! from the following conditions: lu the northern division the condition is reported at 68; Ip the central at 79, and in the southern at 64; making the State average of about67. The lowest conditions areas follows: Hardin, 20; Effingham, 25; Pope, 80; Johnson, 87; Rich- land, 32; Washington, 86. In the southern division there bas been little of no rain since May 1. Ihe average yield per acre of winter wheat in the northern division, where there is only a smal! area of this variety grown, is 16 busheis, while in the central division is butl2 bushels, and in the southern 10 bushels peracre. The area barvested was, in round numbers, 1,800,000, divided as follows: | Northern division.....e..« .

ARY REVERSE. The Supply of Ice at the Cheap Stand in the Union Market Runs Oat. Mr. Breen bad no ice on sale this morning atthe Union Market, and the pendulum of business swung across the road to the com- bine ice stand. For the last two or three weeks the gentlemen in charge of the latter bas been takin an enforced vacation, asd has philosophically smoked bis pipe and watched the men at the 50 cent ice stand work hard from morning to night. Some men would have given expres- sion totheir feelings, and some even would bave sought a more rewunerative occupa- tiom; but the regulation price ice man acted on the principle that all things come to him who waits, and to-day he is working as hard as he knows how, while Mr. Breen’s staff are filling up their time in less productive if less arduous labor. Want of capital bas caused this temporary suspension. To a Post-DISPATCH reporter Mr. Breen said: TO carry on this business roperly I must get more capital and go up North myself, Ice is cheaper there than ever, for those who have been holding back for the ice famine rush which mever Came are now anxious to get their houses N ready for another season. loe can © bought in almost any quantity at about A uuarantee that the shrinkage Will not exceed three tons to the car.

Naturally he started out in ilfe with that surname. subsequently, because be lived with his grandmother, whose name was Wilcox, he was known as Charley Wilcox. She placed him in the Sheltering Arms Home, and there Harry Ellis and wife found him, They adopted him for their own two years ago, but within a month abandoned him toa colored woman, Josie Bass of 308 Sixteenth street. This little boy was the cause of in extended inguiry on the part of the police and his future greatly depends upon the result of that inguiry, which has been completed only in part. Over a week ago Capt. Young of the Con- tral District police was informed that a col- ored woman living on North Sixteenth street was KEEPING A WHITE CHILD in seclusion, and he instructed the patrolman on the beat to investigate. The patrolman reported that Josie Bass bad in her care, at the number given, a white boy known as Chariey Wilcox, who had been left with her bya Mrs. Ellis. The woman had been in structed to keep the boy away from white people, and to let no white person see bim. That was the reason she kept him shut in the house all the time. Capt. Young sent for Mrs. Bass and the child and questioned them. The colored woman told him how the chiid came into her possession. She had had the chiid but a short time, and received a small sum to care for bim under an arrangement made when the child was brought to her. A few days after this event Mrs. Ellis hal called and told her she might keep the child as her own, but white people must notsee him.

WasHIncrow, D. C., Aug. &6—The Com- mittee on Elections sent in its roport on the Breckenridge-Clayten contest, and of course Breckenridge’s seat was declared vacant. An attempt was made by the Democrats to pre- vent the report by remaining away, but absent Republican members of the committee were telegraphed and they returned to the city. The report is characteristic of this Congress, It is outrageously partisan, and by declaration sustaing every charge made by Republicans against Democrats, though it does not at- tempt to furnish proof that the charges are true. The alleged frauds in Arkansas are given ue + reason why Mr. Breckenridge’s seat should be declared va cant, and among the reasons cited is that be- fore the September elections a military com- pany of Democrats. was organized in Conway County and turnished by the Governor with arms and ammualtivun, aud the Republican nexroes, fearing that the company was or- ganizedto keep them from voting, became timid and did not vote. The comm!ttee’s re- ort on the Morrillton affair is a resume of the @pudlican rumors which were circulated at the time. Speaking of the Clayton muruer the report says: No reasonable explanation of the murder appears except that some of the ballot- box thieves, finding the taking of the testimony progressing, killed Col. Clayton to suppress the investigation. No other motive is possibie inexplanation of the shooting of Wahl, and we see no reason for doubting that the men who were wicked enough to kill Wahl were equaliy willing to murder Clayton. No Clay- ton militia théory would explain the attempt upon Wahl's lite, and the evidence clearly disproves any such an explanation as to Col. Clayton’s death. Then comes a paragraph in favor of the election law, and one cam readily see just what the Republicans mean by the election law amd just what they want witb one. The character of the committee is terribly emirched by one, paragraph in the report. Pretending to uphold the law and justice and denounce crime, the report laughs at courts and ridicules juries. The piea made by Breck- enridge that the acquittal by the courts of judges and others accused of election frauds should be considered by the committee, and that such aresuit in a criminal case before a * should be accepted as an adjuuvication, sreferred to us asa novel plea’’ and the report says of the ples, Only the sericusness with whictr it is urged justifies so extended a not od of so evident an error. The report is nothing more than a repetition of the charges made by Republican newspapers, to which is added the testimony of partisxns, and it con- Cludes with a hypocritical assertion that the committee in denouncing the {fraud is defend- ing the good name of the State. In closing the report the committee recommends the adoption of the following resolution: Resolved, That Clifton R. Breckenridge was not elected to the seat which he now holds as Representative in Congress forthe tecond Arkansas Districts. Resolved, That John M. Clayton was duly and lawfully elected as Representative in Congress from the Second District of Arkan- sas, and the seat is therefore declared yacant. Brock’s Keport, WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 6.—Gen.

If a dis- pleasing tariff bill passes, which appears likely at present, the next Congress will revise it, but the majority of the Congress | will not be Republican. One opportunity to do right is as much as the American people care to give a party. — 3 MAGNETISM and electricity have certain principles in common and the fate of KEMMLER should warn the President that when he gets thoroughly magnetized by the Maine battery he may be no better than a dead man. The indications now are that the magnetizing process is pro- gressing rapidly, but when the President is drawn over to BLarne the chief difficulty will be to make him stick there. — — sf REPUBLICANS who are crying out against Democratic obstruction in the consideration of the tariff bill should bear in mind that several distin- guished Republican Senators are giv- ing the Democrats splendid aid in their obstructive tactios with regard to certain features of the bill. There is no doubt that a large number of Republicans would rejoice if parts of the bill should never get through the Senate. —_— — When there is no campaign in progress Field Marshal HALsTEeaD permits him- self to enjoy a sane interval and gives patriotism and common sense a chance to triumph over partisanship and the bloody shirt mania.

The current was turned on the victim for nearly five minutes before death was assured. Dr. SPITZKa, one of the experts at the scene, is quoted as re- marking that the trial wasa failure and that there would never be another elec- trocution. This can not be accepted as yet, however, as a fina) judgment. —— * 8 Mns. VIRGINIA CAMPBELL THOMPSON daughter of a distinguished preacher, widow of a prominent Democrat and sister of a prominent Republican, was given the Louisville Post-office thirteen years ago to tide over a faction fight among the local Republicans. She man- aged the Post-office so well and let poli- tics so severely alone that Hayes, Gan- FIELD, ARTHUR and CLEVELAND all con- tinued her in the place to please the patrons of the office. Her removal the other day to make room for an active Re- publican politician is an indication that President Harrison is keepiug his prom- ise to advance civil service reform by ‘*advancing it backwards.“ Tur President has paid for his Cape May Point cottage. This is settled finally by the public statement to that effect of Mr. WX. V. MCKEAN, the gentleman who engineered the gift enterprise. There is no doubt, however, that the cottage was first received asa gift by Mrs. HARRISON and that the payment was forced upon the President by press criticism. Still it is better thatthe cottage should be paid for even if it is the result of second thoughts. It would have been better still, of course, if the cottage incident had never occurred. a , — — — -_ THERE can be little doubt that the ap- proaching meeting of the Czar and Kaiser will work for peace. The Czar has just delivered an opinion to the effect that the Russian army must be strengthened and he will show his brother ruler what a magnificent array of armed men he can muster. The Kaiser will be duly im- pressed and will go home with fresh resolution to make the German army stronger. Thus watch-dog peace will be preserved with the glory of the two mon- archs even if the people have to starve to do it. POSTMASTER-GENERAL WANAMAKER de- clares that the lottery lobby in Washing- ton was never so strong as it is now, and in the course of an interview with a WORLD correspondent compliments that paper and the indeperdent press gener- ally for the splendid aid given him in the fight against the lottery. If Mr. WANa- MAKER will open his eyes a little wider he will find that the fight for the people and against evils and abuses is conducted for the most part by the independent press. — — — --— Tur interest in the experiment of ex ecuting by electricity, made upon KEMM- LER at Auburn Prison, has been wide- spread and the desire for news of the re- sult on the part of the public was met by the Posr-Disraron extra this morning.

The public looked to the Posr-Disraron for the news and it was not disappointed, — .

While the meas- ure is aimed directly at the control of Southern Congressional elections, this will mean in the end the control of Con- gress by a majority subservient to boss dictation. The success of the measure will be the triumph of bossism and organ- ized greed and the South will merely be used as a means to that end. Tue rumor that CLARKSON was about to retire from the decapitation business to a big bonanza in Japan, is followed quickly by the announcement that the Rocky Mountain News has been bought for $500,- 000 by a syndicate who will turn it into a Republican organ under CLARKSON’s management. Capitalists interested in controlling Western politics think noth- ing of paying half a million dollars to turn a Democratic into a Republican paper. _ n.. Thieves Break Through and Steal.

The French Foréign Minister will be questioned in the Chamber of Deputies on the subject and will be asked whether the French Goverament has obtained from Bel- gium an explanation admitting of no equivo- cation.’’ The Tery Voting Strength. LONDON, Aug. 6.—Some time ago the Con- servative election managers decided to send toallthe provincial agents asking them to make an informal canvass in order that as estimate might be made of the Tory voting strength inthe event of a general election. Returns bave just been made to the central Conservative office from which it ls estimated that even an immediate general election would give the Government a majority of twenty. These figures, however, are the re- sult of canvasses made before the recent de- feats of the Government in Parliament and may be somewhat misieading. The Liberals, Unionists and Conservatives generally agree in the opinion that the next Parliament will be short lived. THE GRENADIER GUARDS’ MUTINY. Public opinion as tothe excessive severity of the sentences imposed upos the ring- leaders in the mutiny of the Grenadier Guards bas manifested itself in a monster petition to the Government for the release of the im- prisoned men. Already the petition has received 40,000 signatures and will be formally presented at the earliest possible moment. DASTARDLY DEED OF REJECTED SUITORS. At Macroom, County Cork, Monday evening two young men, Michael Collins and James Lucey, rejected saitors for the hand of a young woman named Margaret Sullivan, made a murderous assault upon thegiri with a bottie of vitriol, burning her face, neck and bosom in a frightful manner. Collins and Lucey were arrested. Miss 6ullivan is in a critical condition. SWINBURNE’S POEM. Mr. P. O’Brien asked in the House of Bom- mons lastevening whether the Government would prosecute the poet Swinburne for his poem in the Fortnightly Review, which he said was grossly calculated to incite the murder of the Car. Mr. O’Brien was proceeding to read the poem when the Speaker called bim to order, saying that Parliament could not control the poems of Swinburne. This remark was received with laughter. NORFOLK’S VISITS TO ROME. Sir James Fergusson, Under Fore!gn Secre- tary, stated in the House of Commons last evening that the Duke of Norfolk had no mis- sion from the British Government on his first visitto Rome and that his second visit was purely formal and confidential. REFUSED TO PARADE. Tals morning a detachment of tne Royal Artillery stationed at Exeter refused to parade and out the harness on the horses.

OTTAWA, Ontario, Aug. 6.—The Department of State on Monday forwarded to the British Minister at Washington, a warrant of recipias asking for the surrender of Mrs. Lelia Lamon“ | tagne Michel, who is wanted in Sherbrook for | arson. Mrs. Michel is only 21 years, but she has succeeded in eluding the detectives for nearly two years. Her husband suspected her of being unduly intimate with his brother, Rem! Lamontagne, and drove him from the house. At 1 o’clock on the morning of July 18, 1888, Remi knocked at the door of Micnel’s house and after giving Michel some whisky shot him three times. Michel was unconscious for a time, but recovered to find himself beneath a burning mattress and his house in flames. He managed to drag himself to the house of a friend, wh@re his wife found him some hours later. In the meantime she had gone to the home of one of her relatives and reported that her husband bad been smoking in bed and set fire to the house. After saving two trunksshe declared he had gone again into the burning buliding and had been lost. She was fully dressed when she got to the house of her relative, but her brother was not with her. Her husband lin- gered until August 16, 1888, when he died. He made an ante-mortem statement, accusing bis wife and brother-in-law of the erime. The woman was tried In October, 1885, for murder and acquitted, the jury considering that her prother was the instigator. Remi, after the acquittal of his sister, appeared in Sherbroke in company with a brother-in-law named Guimont, who delivered him up to the author- ities to get the reward of $1,000 offered by the Canadian Government. He has been in jal! since that time and is to be tried in October on a charge of murder and arson. Steps were taken to arrest Mrs. Michel on a charge of arson, but she nad gone to the United States. Dotectives have been following her since then. She eluded capture until July 9 last, when she was arrested at Newton Junction, N. H. She ts fighting the extradition pro- ceedings in every way possible. ö Thunder, Hail and Cyclone.

The President’s Arguments and Figures Knecked Out by the Maine Statesman Backed by Postmaster-General Wana- maker—Gov. Campbell’s Denial—Dick Bland Re-Neminzated—The Oklahoma Election—General Political News. New Tonk, Aug. 6.—A dispatch to the WORLD from Cape May says: Blaine has won. President Harrison has been generally convinoed of the practical wisdom of his chief secretary’s reciprocity programme and is pre- paring a message on the subject. I was not an easy task, for Mr. Blaine found that the opponents of his views had literally saturated the President with their arguments, both political and commercial. Mr. Blaine was fully prepared to answer the political objec- tions. He showed the President how the en- tire Democratic press of the country, by its haste in indorsing him, had placed itself in a position which stopped it from denouncing reciprocity with Latin America, even though it became a lead- ing factor ln the Republican policy.Mr. Blaine then dwelt upon the significance of the in- dorsement which the new policy was receiv- ing throughout the South, and to cap this phase of the argument he pointed to the prompt approval of the San Francisco Cham- ber of Commerce. When the opposition likely to develop in the House was referred to Mr. Blaine’s eyes snapped and he declared almost petulantly that he would attend to tat, or words to that effect; that he regarded the op- position ss unimportant. Mr. Harrison then sprung the commercial objections, which had been tabulated and carefully prepared for him. He thought he had Blaine in a tight box, but the astute Secretary then played bis great card, namely John Wanamaker, whom he calledintothe ¢onfer- ence, and when Mr. Harrison, with il his tables and figures, grappled with the burly Postmaster-Genera! on the commercial phases of the reciprocity question, he was thrown time after time. It must be remembered that Mr. Blaine had not consulted the President before his first declaratlon of this new and radical policy. Mr. Harrison remembered this fact and several times referred to it, The result of the conference was tnat President Harrison became aproselyte. He affected no further resistance. He promised to give rec- iprocity, with some slight modifications which are not yet formulated, his support, and to address a special message to Congress on the subject At an early date. Mr. Blaine received this intelligence without a shade of surprise. The Oklakhema Election. GuTuriz, I.

His visit to Chicago, he said, was caused by a desire to consult with the directors in the hope to expedite matters. »The chief thing now,“ he continued, 1 time, and it can not be bought with money. The classification, too, is a vital and imme. diate necessity. I have no preconceived ideas regarding the Director-Generalship, though his appointment will be one of the first duties of the Commission. He must bea Man of great executive ability, possessed of tact and energy, and able to act at once with- out consultatlon with others. When the local board is ready for active work, they will not find the commissien far behind, either in fol- lowingor taking tue lead. The commission will deter in everything possible to the local board. You may say,, however, that tne Director-Geaera! is to be elected by the whole commission and not by the directors nor by myself or the Executive Committee, as many suppose. If 1 find matters suflicientiy ad- vanced I shall reconvene the commission a month earlier than originally intended, thougl they are so scattered that they really ought to have a month’s notice. President Palmer cleared upone point re- garding which there has been much conten- tion and fears, when asked if he intended ap- pointing all the Chicago members of the Lady Board of Directors from one coterie and some hoped he would, he replied, r and witha laugh: Well, not if know !t. Those appointments will be made from all or- ganizations claiming recognition, and only after I bave consulted with friends who ksow about them.’’ THE MUSICIANS’ EXCURSION, An Enjoyabie Trip Dewn the River—Pres- entation te Prof. Louis Meyer. One of the events of the season In steam- boat excursions was the annual picnic of the professional musicians of this city on the steamer Oliver Beirne yesterday. The infen- tion was to go to Silver Island, but owitg to low water a change had to be made to a point down the river and Montesano Springs was chosen. Every musician, great and small was there, and those that could not stay, owing the evening engagements took an early train home. The celebrated Beethoven Association Band, under the direction of Prof. L. Meyer, played some of its finest selections. Dancing, racing and games of all kinds were induiged in. The event ofthe day was the presentation of a beautiful gold-headed caneto Prof. L. Meyer by the Beethoven Association. Prof. Owen Miller made the prese:tation speech, which was responded to in the happiest mannner by Prof. Meyer. A novel feature was a friendly boxing match of four two-minute rounds between Rusty Evangand Dutch Niel. Although Rusty is 51 years of age he showed up surprisingly well with his younger antag- Onist. Not the slightest incident occurred to mar the pleasures ofthe day. The boat land- ed at 10 p. m., with everybody well pleased with the day’s entertainment. The commit- tee that managed this affair soadmirably were Otto Ostendorf, chairman, John Bohacek be Baver, Chas. Schillinger and Fred eck. STOCK BROKERS, The Flurry in Money Precipitated by the Calling Iu of Louns, NEw Tonk. Aug. 6, 9 a, m.—Everybody con- nected with Wall street was talking last night about the flurry in money late yesterday. This movement was precipitated; it was ex- plained by the calling in of loans on stocks by certain large exporters of gold, who had over a million of coin to pay for. There is a rumor ofafresh row between Missouri Pacific and Atchison and it is likewise rumored that the Atchison is going to bwild through to the Pa- cific Coast, independently of the Huntington lease on the’ Frisco line. Aspecialist in Western Union, commenting on this stock last night, remarked that it was lower, and weaker than before ju months. People who have been open buyers of Rock Island for ten days say they would be gratifiedte see me further decline in its prices, so that ey may be able to fill the buying orders on their books; they are likewise bullish on St. Paul. CHICAGO, 12:08 p. m.—Sell the Southwestern and Granger stocks, St. Paul, Rock Island, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Missouri Pacific and in fact all the Grangers. Our ad- vices indicate such serious damageto corn that with the short wheat and oat crops all the Western roads mustsuffer big decrease in earnings and they are notin a position to stand much punishment: and abig decline in stocks seem inevitable. — THE LINDELL ELECTRIC RAILWAY. Opening of the Main Line Fxtensien as Far as King’s Highway. People residing on the Finney avenue sec- tion of the Lindell electric railway were sur- prised to see more than double the usual number of motors speeding by last evening, and could not understand what it all meant until this morning when they ascertained for the first time that the road had been opened beyond Taylor avenue and that cars are now making regular trips ät short intervals out to King’s nighwly. Conductors now accompany cars on that branch of the road and there will be no more free riding between Vandeventer and Taylor avenues. Patrons of the line changing from horse to electric cars or vice versa at Vandeventer avenue will be farnisbed transfers enabling them to ride from Third street out too Kings highway, a distance of over four miles, for 5 cents, Mr. George Capen, President of the road, bas shown * deal of enterprise in pushiag the various branches of his line to their present state of completion and he expects to have the Delmar avenue branch in operation out to Forest Park by the middie of next month. Some delay with Eastern machine shops in making the engines to be used in generating additional electric power for the other branches will likely pre- vent their operation until later in the fall.

Wurrn and un. W. E. 8 n THE NATURAL BRIDGE Roan Avenue Cable in Developing That See tion—Seme Heavy Sales That Have Been Made in the District Within the Past Two Monaths—The Tide of Speculatlen Turning Northward. Speculators having bought up nearly all the purchasable acre property north of Forest Park, from Union avenue westward beyond the city limits, they are now Operating ina very business like manner in the handsome residence territory north of Easton avenue to the Natural Bridge road, west of Euclid, formerly Lay avenue. Topeka capitalists were the first to open the ball in that direction in their purchase of about $200,000 of property located on the north line of the Natural Bridge road in the vicinity of Goodfellow avenue, Their investment in that locality served to emphasize the fact that nearly if not all the acre property between Forest Park and Easton avenue has been bought up comparatively within a recent date and that investors who want to lay out and develop new subdisions with profit must Und other flelds to work in. This condition of affairs has been realized for several months past, and persons well able to judge from ex perience have predicted that the course events were taking would create a demand for all the low-priced vacant property north of Eas- ton avenue, through the Cote Brilliante sec- tion over to and beyond the Natural Bridge road and that an electrie road out arcus avenue, in place of the horse car nulsance, connecting with the Oitizens Cable and extending north- westward beyond the Goodfellow tract to the city limits would bring all that new quarter of the city into active competition with the —— price property forther south where values have been advanced beyond the limits of the great mass of purchasers who want to live in from $2,000 to $4,000 home places readily accessible to rapid transit. Parties whose ideas harmonize with these views have made heavy purchases in the locality lately and are pre- paring sites for the market. The Woodward property, on the westside of Marcus avenue, about four blocks north of Easton, was pur- chased not long since by B. F. Hammett. Jus west of that, fronting on King’s highway, G. 8. Myer acquired a ten-acre plot on the 15th of last month for $55,500. Further west on Union avenue, a block north o Easton, W. P. Croswhite purchased a tract of eleven acres only about two months ago, and north ofthat John II. Terr purchased a five-acre plot at the corner o Spaulding avenue only about a month since, It has not been two months since the Ham- mett-Anderson-Wade Real Estate Co. pur- chased the Rinkel tract of sixty-four acres on Kaston avenue, west of Goodfellow, for 3176, 000 and otber transfers of considerable impors tance in the territory might be cited, 4 | Wy wate to 1 Tho latest, though, is the purchase of a fifteen acre tract situated on the west side of Marcus avetlue between Ashland, Euclid and Greer, which was bought by Terry Bros. & Hart for $31,000 from the Waugh Bros. of Belleville, III., through the R. C. Greer Real Estate G0. In addition to this the same purchagers 28 a plot of four ares a the corner 0 Marcus and ayenues at $3,000 an sere. This arcel is next west of the Cote Brilliante ohool- house on Cottage avenue, where there are some lots which may be bought for $l2a foot or less. Cora place is just south, where the excellent character of improvements bas rum the price of lots up to $35 a foot and higher. CLEMENS PLACE SALES. Clemens place lots in the hands of D. R.

VIRGINIA CAMPBELL THOMPSON daughter of a distinguished preacher, widow of a prominent Democrat and sister of a prominent Republican, was given the Louisville Post-office thirteen years ago to tide over a faction fight among the local Republicans. She man- aged the Post-office so well and let poli- tics so severely alone that Hayrgs, Gar- FIELD, ARTHUR and CLEVELAND all con- tinued her in the place to please the patrons of the office. Her removal the other day to make room for an active Re- publican politician is an indication that President Harrison is keepiug his prom- ise to advance civil service reform by ‘*advancing it backwards.“ Tur President has paid for his Cape May Point cottage. This is settled finally by the public statement to that effect of Mr. WX. V. MCKEAN, the gentleman who engineered the gift enterprise. There is no doubt, however, that the cottage was first received asa gift by Mrs. Harrison and that the payment was forced upon the President by press criticism. Still it is better thatthe cottage should be paid for even if it is the result of second thoughts. It would have been better still, of course, if the cottage incident had never occurred. — 2 — THERE can be little doubt that the ap- proaching meeting of the Czar and Kaiser will work for peace. The Czar has just delivered an opinion to the effect that the Russian army must be strengthened and he will show his brother ruler what a magnificent array of armed men he can muster. The Kaiser will be duly im- pressed and will go home with fresh resolution to make the German army stronger. Thus watch-dog peace will be preserved with the glory of the two mon- archs even if the people have to starve to do it. POSTMASTER-GENERAL WANAMAKER de- clares that the lottery lobby in Washing- ton was never so strong as it is now, and in the course of an interview with a WORLD correspondent compliments that paper and the indeperdent press gener- ally for the splendid aid given him in the fight against the lottery.

LONDON, Aug. 6.—Some time ago the Con- servative election managers decided to send to all the provincial agents asking them to make an informal canvass in order that as estimate might be made of the Tory voting strength inthe event of a general election. Returns bave just been made to the central Conservative office from which it is estimated that even an immediate general election would give the Government a majority of twenty. These figures, however, are the re- sult of canvasses made before the recent de- feats of the Government in Parliament and may be somewhat misieading. The Liberals, Unionists and Conservatives generally agree in the opinion that the next Parliament will be short lived. THE GRENADIER GUARDS’ MUTINY. Public opinion as tothe excessive severity of the sentences imposed upos the ring- leaders in the mutiny of the Grenadier Guards bas manifested itself in a monster petition to the Government for the release of the im- prisoned men. Already the petition has received 40,000 signatures and will be formally presented at the earliest possible moment. DASTARDLY DEED OF REJECTED 8UITORS. At Macroom, County Cork, Monday evening two young men, Michael Collins and James Lucey, rejected saitors for the hand of a young woman named Margaret Sullivan, made a murderous assault upon thegiri with a bottie of vitriol, burning her face, neck and bosom in a frightful manner. Collins and Lucey were arrested. Miss 6Gullivan is in a critical condition. SWINBURNE’S POEM. Mr. P. O’Brien asked in the House of Bom- mons lastevening whether the Government would prosecute the poet Swinburne for his poem in the Fortnightly Review, which he said was grossly calculated to incite the murder of the Csar. Mr. O’Brien was proceeding to read the poem when the Speaker called him to order, saying that Parliament could not control the poems of Swinburne. This remark was received with laughter.

Houses were unroofed, barns were struck by lightning, while many smat! baiid- ings were swept away. At Lachine the great- est damage was done. There the immense building of the Dominien Bridge Co. and the equally large structures of the Canadian screw and barbed wire factpries were un- roofed and left in ruins. Honors for the Kaiser. LONDON, Aug. 6.—It is stated upon good authority that the Queen will appoint Emperor William honorary colonel of cavalry. It will be remembered that on the occasion of the Emperor’s visit to England last year he appointed Her Majesty honorary colonel ofa German regiment. INSPEOTED THE MARINE ARTILLERY. Though Emperor William remained at the club house ofthe Royal Yacht Squadron on the Isle of Wight until after midnight last night, he arose early this morning and went riding. He took breakfast with the Queen upon his return. Afterwards, in company with the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edin- burgh, the Duke of Connaught and Prince Christian, His Majesty went to Eastny, where be inspected the Marine Artillery and wit- nessed the new modeof attack under cover of smoke produced by the attacking forces.

The President’s Arguments and Figures Knecked Out by the Maine Statesman Backed by Postmaster-General Wana- maker—Gov. Campbell’s Denial—Dick Bland Re-Neminated—The Oklahoma Election—General Political News. New Tonk, Aug. 6.—A dispatch to the WORLD from Cape May says: Blaine has won. President Harrison has been generally convineed of the practical wisdom of his chief secretary's reciprocity programme and is pre- paring a message on the subject. It was not an easy task, for Mr. Blaine found that the opponents of his views had literally saturated the President with their arguments, both political and commercial. Mr. Blaine was fully prepared to answer the politicai objec- tions. He showed the President how the en- tire Democratic press of the country, by its haste in indorsing him, had placed itself in a position which stopped it from denouncing reciprocity with Latin America, even though it became a lead- ing factor in the Republican policy.Mr. Blaine then dwelt upon the significance of the in- dorsement which the new policy was receiv- ing throughout the South, and to cap this phase of the argument he pointed to the prompt approval of the San Francisco Cham- ber of Commerce. When the opposition likely to develop in the House was referred to Mr. Biaine’s eyes snapped and he declared almost petulantly that he would attend to tset, or words to that effect; that he regarded the op- Mr. Harrison position a8 unimportant. then sprung the commercial objections, which had been tabulated and -carefully prepared for him. He thought he had Blaine in a tight box, but the astute Secretary then played his great card, namely John Wanamaker, whom he calledintothe confer- ence, and when Mr. Harrison, with all his tables and figures, grappled with the burly Postmaster-Genera! on the commercial phases of the reciprocity question, he was thrown time after time. It must be remembered that Mr. Blaine had not consulted the President before his first declaration of this new and radical policy. Mr. Harrison remembered this fact and several times referred to it, The result of the conference was that President Harrison became aproselyte. He affected no further resistance. He promised to give rec- iprocity, with some slight modifications which are not yet formulated, his support, and to address a special message to Congress on the subject at an early date.

CHICAGO, III., Aug. 6.—President Palmer of the World’s Fair Commission arrived m ‘this olty from Michigan, late last night. His visit to Chicago, he said, was caused by a Gesire to consult with the directors in the hope to expedite matters. »The chief thing now,“ he continued, ‘*is time, and it can not be bought with money. The classification, too, is a vital and immo diate necessity. I have no preconceived ideas regarding the Director-Generaiship, though his appointment will be one of the first duties of the Commission. He must bea Man of great executive ability, possessed of tact and energy, and avle to act at once with- out consultatlon with others. When the local board is ready for active work, they will not find the commissien far bebind, either in fol- lowing or taking tue lead. The commission Will deter in everything —— to the local board. You may say,, however, that the Director-Geaera!l is to be elected by the whole commission and not by the directors nor by myself or the Executive Committee, as many suppose. If I find matters suflicientiy ad- vanced I .shall reconvene the commission a month e@arlier than originally intended, though they are so scattered that they really ought to have a month’s notice. President Palmer cleared up one point re- garding which there has been much conten- tion and fears, when asked if he Intended ap- pointing all the Chicago members of the Lady Board of Directors from one coterie and some hoped he would, he replied, r and witha laugh: Well, not if know !t. Those appointments will be made from all or- ganizations claiming recogoition, and only after I bave consulted with friends who know about them. THE MUSICIANS’ EXCURSION, An Enjoyabie Trip Dewn the River—Pres- entation te Prof. Louis Meyer. One of the events of the season In steam- boat excursions was the annual picnic of the professional musicians of this city on the steamer Oliver Beirne yesterday. The infen- tion was to go to Silver Island, but owiltg to low water a change had to be made to a point down the river and Montesano Springs was chosen. Every musician, great and small was there, and those that could not stay, owing the evening engagements took anearly train home. The celebrated Beethoven Association Band, under the direction of Prof. L. Meyer, played some of its finest selections. Dancing, racing and games of all kinds were indulged in. The event ofthe day was the presentation of a beautiful gold-headed caneto Prof. L. Meyer by the Beethoven Association. Prof. Owen Miller made the presentation speech, which was responded to in the happiest mannner by Prof. Meyer. A novel feature was a friendly boxing match of four two-minute rounds between Rusty Evans and Duten Niel. Although Rusty is 51 years of age he showed up surprisingly well with his younger antag- Onist. Not the slightest incident occurred to mar the pleasures ofthe day. The boat land- ed at 10 p. m., with everybody well pleased with the day’s entertainment. The commit- tee that managed this affair soadmirably were Otto Ostendorf, chairman, John Bohacek 5 Bauer, Chas. Schillinger and Fred eck. STOCK BROKERS, The Flurry in Money Precipitated by the Calling Inu of Louns, NxwW York, Aug. 6, 9 a, m.—Everybody con- nected with Wall street was talking last night about the flurry in money late yesterday. This movement was precipitated; it was ex- plained by the calling in of loans on stocks by certain large exporters of gold, who had over a million of coin to pay for. There is a rumor ofafresh row between Missouri Pacific and Atchison and it Is likewise romored that the Atchison is going to bwild through to the Pa- olle Coast, independently of the Huntington lease on the’ Frisco line. Aspecialist in Western Unioa, commenting on this stock last night, remarked thet it was lower, and weaker than beforein months. People who have been open buyers of Rock Island for ten days say they would be gratifiedte see me further Geciine in its prices, so that ey may be able to fill the rg bre orders on their books; they are likewise bullish on St. Paul. CHICAGO, 12:08 p. m.—Sell the Southwestern and Granger stocks, St. Paul, Rock Island, Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Missouri Pacific and in fact all the Grangers. r ad- vices indicate such serious damage to corn that with the short wheat and oat crops all the Western roads mustsuffer big decrease in earnings and they are notin a position to stand much punishment: and abig decline in stocks seem inevitable. —— THE LINDELL ELECTRIC RAILWAY. Opening of the Main Line Fxtensien as Far as King’s Highway. OPERATING IN NEW TRRRITORY SOUTH OF THE NATURAL BRIDGE Roa Electric Lines to Unite With the Kasten Avenue Cable in Developing That See tion—Seme Heavy Sales That Have Been 15 Made in the District Within the Past Two Monsths—The Tide of Speculatlen Turning Northward. Speculators having bought up nearly all the purchasable acre property north of Forest Park, from Unlon avenue westward beyond the city limits, they are now Operating ina very business like manner in the handsome residence territory north of Easton avenue to the Natural Bridge road, west of Euciid, formerly Lay avenue. Topeka capitalists were the first toopen the bali in that direction in their purchase of about $200, 000 of property located on the north line of the Natural Bridge road in the vicinity of Goodfellow avenue, Their investment in that locality served to emphasize the fact that nearly if not all tne acre property between Forest Park and Easton avenue has been bought up comparatively Within a recent date and that investors who want to lay out and develop new subdisions with profit must Und other flelds to work in. This condition of affairs has been realized for several months past, and persons well able to judge from ex. perience have predicted that the course events were taking would create a demand for all the low-priced vacant property north of Fas- ton avenue, through the Cote Brilliante geo- tion over to and beyond the Natural Bridge road and that an electric road out Mareus avenue, in place of the horse car nulsance, connecting with the Citizens’ Cable and extending north westward beyond the Goodfellow tract to the city limits would bring all that new quarter of the city into active competition with the — price property ferther south where Vaiues have been advanced beyond the limits of the great mass of purchasers who want to live in from $2,000 to $4,000 home places readily accessible to rapid transit. Parties whose ideas harmonize with these views have made heavy purchases in the locality lately and are pre- paring sites for the market. The Woodward property, on the west side of Marcus avenue, about four blocks north of Easton, was pur- chased not long since by B. F. Hammett. Jus west of that, fronting on King’s highway G. 8. Myer acquired a ten-acre plot on th 15th of last month for $55,500. Further west on Union avenue, a black north of Easton, W. FP. Croswhite purchased a tract of eleven acres only about two months ago, and north ofthat John H. Ter purchased a five-acre plot at the corner o Spaulding avenue only about a month since, It has not been two months since the Ham- mett-Anderson-Wade Real Estate Co. pur- chased the Rinkel tract of sixty-four acres on Kaston avenue, west of Goodfellow, for 376, 000 and other transfers of considerable impor- tance in the territory might be cited, Tho latest, though, is the purchase of a fifteen acre tract situated on the west side of Marcus avenue between Ashland, Euclid and Greer, which was bought by Terry Bros. & Hart for $31,000 from the Waugh Bros. of Belleville, III., through the R. C. Greer Real Estate G0. In addition tothis the same purchagers 8 a plot of four ares a the corner o Marcus and Cottag ayenues at $3,000 an sere. This smalie arcel is next west of the Cote Brilliante ol- house on Cottage avenue, where there are some iots which may be bought for 812 4 foot or less.

At 1 o’clock on the morning of July 18, 1888, Rem knocked at the door of Michel’s house and after giving Michel some whisky shot him three times. Michel was unconscious for a time, but recovered to find himself beneath a burning mattress and bis house in fames. He managed to drag himself to the house of a friend, wh@re his wife found him some hours later. In the meantime she had gone to the home of one of her relatives and reported that her husband had been smoking in bed and set fire to the house. After saving two trunksshe declared he had gone again into the burning buliding and had been lost. She was fully dressed when she got to the house of her relative, but her brother was not with her. Her husband lin- gered until August 16, 1888, when he died. He made an ante-mortem statement, accusing his wife and brother-in-law of the crime. The woman was tried In October, 1888, for murder and acquitted, the jury considering that her brother was the instigator. Reml, after the acquittal of his sister, appeared in Sherbroke in company with a brother-in-law named Guimont, who delivered him up to the author- ities to get the reward of $1,000 offered by the Canadian Government.

MERRITT BELIEVES THAT HEAD- QUARTERS WILL REMAIN IN Sr. LOUIS. AE gans ann SSS 8888888 22 S8 88 An Attempt Being Made by Chicago to Secure the Removal ef Headquarters From this City—Several Plans Under Censideration for the Reorganizatien of the Army—Gen, Merritt’s Views. 1 HE question of reor- ganizing the army in various departments is being actively agi- tated at Washington. Several important changes have already been made and others are in contemplation. The subjects that are at present under con \ sideration are the Art INN). 3 breaking up of the * — smaller posts and the concentration of troops and the divisien of commands among the general officers. Like many other things connected with the serv ice the present districting of the country is anti quated andis based upon conditions that no longer exist, ARMY DIVISIONS. There are six departments, one for each of the Brigadier-Generals of the line, and three divisions, one for each of the Major-Generals. This assignment was made when there was a Commanader-in-Chief with rank above that of Major-General, whose headquarters were in Washington. Sinee the death of Lieut. Gen. Sheridan the army has been com- manded from Washington by the senior Major-General, and this left one division without a commander. Before the death of Gen. George Crook, who commanded the Division of the Missour!, Gen. Miles was assigned tothe command of the division of the Pacific as well as of the Department of Arizona, but since his promotion to the rank of Major-General the Division of the Missouri, by far the largest in the army, has been with- out a commander, and its affairs have been managed by Gen. John M. Schofield from Washington. That this condition of affairs should continue is most undesirable and highly detrimental to the Interests of the army. The Division of the Mis- sourl extends from the Alleghanies to the Rocky Mountains, and from the British line to the Guif of Mexico, It Includes the Department of Dakota, the Platte, the Missouriand Texas, and about two-thirds of the troops in the service of the United States are quartered within ite limits. This great division has no commander stationed within ite limits, and there is none of proper rank available unless either the Division of the At- lantic or the Division of the Pacific is left Without a head. 0 PLANS FOR ALTERING ORGANIZATION. Several plans are under consideration for remedying the difficulty. One is to abolish the divisions entirely and divide the country into eight departments, each commanded by a general officer, and all re- porting directto Washington. This plan is favored by the staff corps, especially by the Adjutant-GCeneral, but it ls by no means pop- lar with officers ofthe line. All army officers agree that the most marked movement of the lastfew years has been the attempt, often successful, of the Adjutant-General to usurp authority that has been lodged in general offi- cers of the line ever since the organization of the army. In this attempt the Secretaries of have lent their ald with result that the commander of army has been very largely deprived of his authoritv. A marked in- gtance of thisoccurred when'Secretary Endil- cot: left the capital, and directed Adjt.-Gen. Dunn to act in his place, the result being that Gen. Sheridan was rendered subordinate to a Brigadier-General of a staff corps. The line officers are opposed to any chahge which will tend to place the management of the in- ternal affairs ofthe army under civilan con- trol and favor the retention of the divisional system with modifications of the extent of the present allotments, 4 plan which meets with much favor is to assign one Major-General te the command of the sea coast and lake defenses and another to the command of the interior, leaving tne departments as they now are. Another is to divide the country into two divisions, one of the North and the other of the South. Ia this case it would be necessaryto make some changes in the departments, and it is by no means impossibie that ln this case the De- artwent of the Missour! would becommanded rom Chicago. A NEW OFFICE TO BE CREATED, The third plan, and one that would save al difficulties, is to recreate the rank of Lieuten- ant- General, and thus give a commander to each of the divisions. The friends of John M. Sehofield, the ranking Major-General, are hard at work endeavoring to secure this end, and it meets with nearly universal favor in arm circies. In case the divisions should be abolished, the status of st. Louis as a department headquarters would be seriously impossibie, as there is a strong Opposition to having the general © 80 concentrated with no common head nearer than Washington, as would be the case were One statiogfed at Ubicago, anotuer at&t.

GEN. MERRITT'S VIEWS. Gen. Merritt, commander ofthe Department of the Missour!, was seen this morning Dy & Post-DISPaTOH reporter and was asked con- cerning the changes which are alleged to be probable. He said: „The report that the department headquar- ters may be removed to Fort Leavenworth again is absolutely without any foundation. The recent removal to St. Louis was made for the purpose of taking the beadquarters away from any post and to centrally locate them for better facilitating the trans- portation of supplies. That talk about a disagreement being the cause of the removal is all nonsense. It has been published again and again without the slightest foundation, and is absolutely untrue. do not think It probable that any change will be medein the present system, at least we hope that there will be none. If the bill to make Gen. Schofield a Lieutenant-General passes, this will create a new Major-General, who could then assume command ef the Division of Missouri. with headquarters at Chicago. Gen. Stanley, now in command of the Department of Texas, would probably be the one promoted under such circumstances. This would leave the three divisions each in charge of a major-general, andthe different departments would report direct to the divisions of which they are a part. At present the departments in the Division of Missour! report direct to Wash- ington, in consequence of Gen. Schofield be- ing in command. „The plan to abolish the divisions and to have the eight different departments report to Washington direct ys not favored by the officers, and great pressure is being brought to bear with Congress to have the bill passed to promote Gen. Schofleid. The only probability of baving the depart ment headquarters removed to Chicago would be in case ofthe abolishment of the present divisions.

IMPORTING MONGOLIANS, A Canadian Gang Smuggling Chinese Inte the United States. BurFraLo, N. T., Aug. 6.—There seems to be a gang of men on the Canadian side who make a business of rowing Chimamen over the river to the American side. Lee Name and Lee Sing, two Chinese, were arrested Monday night before they had been in Uncle Sam’s domain ten minutes. Judging fromthe rates charged for Mongolian importations, it must be a profitabie business. They were brought from near Victoria and landed under cover of darkness just below Fourth street, but Capt. Collins has bees acquainted with this little trick for some time and bas kept his officers on guard, The Chinamen were turned over te the custody of United States Deputy Watts and were arraigned before Ualted States Commissioner Hirscnbeck on a charge of vio- lating the United States exclusion act. They pleaded not guilty and were heid for further examination. The Mengolians said they paid the man who wed them over $5. One of them can speak English quite fluently, he hay- ing lived in Boston several years ago. They came by the way of British Columbia and were evidently destined for Boston, thinking they could eater the United States better from Victoria than any other place. This seems to be a regular shipping point for the Obinamen and it is sald many of them are being smug- gied into the country dally. Deputy Wette and his officers will make a desperate effort to capture the gang who row Chinamen across the river.

COMPLAINT. Seamen ona United States Steamer Over- charged for Beer, New Tonk, Aug. 6.—On board the Kearsarge the sallors and marines are talking a good deal about the price they were ecompelied to pay for beer while on their last cruise in the West Indies. ‘‘Jack’s’’ grog was stopped years ago, an addition to his pay being made atthe time by way of helping his feelings, but in recent years the privilege of purchas- ing beer has been accorded. This bever- age, #0 say the men of the Kearsarge, has been retailed to them at the rate of 12% consider cents per bottle, and this price 9 em, too, to be entirely too high. Some of t bave expressed a desire to know who gets the profits, which must be heavy, as the beer is bought in barrels of eight dozen each in large quantities. At Key West eighteen barreis were taken aboard the Kearsarge. Speaking of the matter Commander Elmer said yester- day that while it was contrary to the regula- tions to serve out.any kind of liquor on board ship, it was permissible to llow each mana certain amount of beerevery day, and as the sallors would try to get some kind ofdrink, however closely they were watched, he thought it better to provide a certain amount of lager. Rumor has it that Dennis Twigger, a boatswaln mate on the Kearsarge, got drunk atsea and ran amuck among the crew. Commander Elmer says that Twigger got drunk while on shore at Charleston, 8. O., and raised a fuses after he came on board. Anybow, a court-martial found that Dennis did get drunk somewhere and sentenced him to six months in the navai prison. Lieutenant Commander Bel- knapp denied that any one ow board was mak- ing money out of thesale of beer. He said the stories about alleged attempts to make money out of the men are all ridiculous and originate with some ofthe sallors who manip- ulated pay checks at Key West, and who, do- ing In dread of a court-martial, are trying to excite sympathy. He said there are to be no court-martiais for these offenses, Eastern Summer Resorts, Take the through Pullman sleeping car lines ofthe Ohio 4 Mississipp!
