As be did so he requested permission

said, sKuking as if every word cost him
a great effort :
"I have no further reservation to
ninkn. I desire to say I am absolutely
innocent." Then he settled back in the ;
chair and the electrodes were quickly I
attached.
The signal was given, the lever clicked
sharply, the form of the condemned man
stiffened until the straps creaked, while
l,7t0 volts passed through his frame.
At the end of two seconds the current
was reduced to 150 volts, which was
continued 54 swonds longer, when Har
ris was pronouncvd dead. As the cur
rent was fully shut off the body dropped
back limp. An examination showed, no
signs of life, and it was evident that
death was instantaneous. The execu
tion was most successful.

all the world by such an answer, and
there is not a coolie on the coast who
could not teach him better manners.
The president was attending to his busi
ness in the premises, and rennoyer sim
ply behaved like a hoodlum. Voters do
not always understand the importance
of having a gentleman as well as an
honest and intelligent man in high of
fice. If they don't take care that their
choice is a gentleman, as well as what
ever else he ought to be, they run the
risk of being put to blush, as the people
of Oregon were.

dent and cabinet, and especially the
secretary of state, will be more caroful
about suggestions to sovereign states,
especially to Oregon . If, in the course
of human events, it becoms necessary
or desirable to bint to a governor, es
pecially to Fennoyer, that some emer
gency is likely to arise, say, for example,
that the weather forebodes rain, and it
might be wise for him to take his
chimney in, they will be careful to
ascertain how his digestion is befoie

as not to permit the governor to make
an exhibition of himself in replying.
A T.rrlbl Wrack.
Lafayette, Ind., May 7. One of the
rnutit horrible wrwcloi in th hUtary of
railtoaillng o curr:il on t tie IJitf Four
road in thin city at 1 :15 thin morning,
the ri'Miilt of which ten men are now
dead and many more are injured. The
train wan the eaHthound paHeiiger
leaving Chii-ag'jat 9 p. in. The accident
a canned by the failure of the air
brake! to wotk. The engineer' denpej"
ate ellorta to htop the train were xbown
by the large amount of hand thrown by
him on the bridge through which the
train came jut before the fatal craflh.
Amid a vigorous whirling' for brakes,
tiie engine daithed out of the bridge over
the Wabaah river at a xpeed of not lene
than aixty mile an hour, cranhing into
the depot buildings, tearing fiff" a portion
and carrying the train sheds several
hundred feet. The engine when it left
the track was followed by the baggage
car, two postal-cars and an expresa-car,
which were viled in one promiscous
mass, a total and complete wreck,
burying a score or more of victims in an
awful pile of debt is. The chair-car and
two pullman sleepers remained on the
track. To add to the consternation fire
broke out from a stove in the baggage
car, but the fire department speedly ex
tinguished the flames. A large crowd
guthered quickly at the scene of disaster
and assiHted in rescuing the victims, and
a large force of local physicians gave
the iieceaaary attention to the wounded.
Several victims of the wreck were
ersons standing on the platform wait
ing to take the train.

TuI'kka, Kan., May 6 John W. Mof
Gtt, who is responsible for the boodle
charges made v the Topeka Capital
against the state administration, and
who is dodging the investigating com
mittee, appeared before that body today.
He admitted he had no personal knowl
edge of the charges and confessed bis en
tire knowledge w as based upon a conver
sation which he claims to have over
houses together, but tie said nothing
about any other boodle. Moftiit also
told the story to several friends, among
whom was Major Hudson, of the Capi
tal. He was surprised to see the story
in print next morning, and said it con
tained some inaccuracies. Cross-exam
ined.Mullitt admitted that although Lew-
elling was his personal friend, he made
no effort to verify the slander told by
two strangers before he repeated it to
others. He had not attempted to find
nor identify the strangers, and hadn't
seen them since. After this testimony,
the committee adjourned sine die.
The Worldi Fair.
Chicago, May 7. The rule closing the
gates of the world's fair Sundays was
rigidly enforced today, so far as the pur
chasing public was concerned. The for
tunate thousands who held passes were
admitted, however, and allowed to wan

Wild West show, the Duke of Veragua

representatives of the Spanish crown of

Indians who fought at Wounded Knee
shook hands with ariiiy officers, and
thus comparisons were made throughout
the nationalities. It was a strange, har-
monious mixing of extremes in the pres-'city

Attorney General F. Ileney aro causing i
persons and cells of convicts to be
searched. Thirty-two daggers and but
cher knives, saws, files and slungshots
were found, besides morphine and other
drugs. Several boxes of goods which
were about to be shipped out by XI. Me
Inernany, a former superintendent, were
seized at the railroad depot and found to
contain several hundred dollars' worth
of prison property. Mclnernany was
arrested and held to bail to await action
of the grand jury. Further develop
ments are expected, as a large amount of
prison property is still missing. Several
guards have returned property, claiming
that the superintendent told told them
to take it.
Advocates Ilrii'k Paring.
A. B. Chase, a prominent citizen of
Tacoma, has returned home after an ex
tended eastern trip, an enthusiastic ad
vocate of vitrified brick for street paving
puaposes. Mr. Chase visited, Washing-
(ton D. C, Baltimore, Cleveland, and
Detroit, and lnveHtigtd the paving prob-
lorn In each of thoae citiea. As a renult
ot bis observation Mr. Chase's former
views undor-went conaiderable moli(tca
ti n, and he is now poititive that vitrified
brck is the bent and most desirable pave
merit. A long interview with Mr. Chasa
on this subject was published In the Led
iier last week. In it be states that in
Washington. D. C, Cleveland and De
troit, exricriments on a more or less ex
tensive scale have recently been made
in the use of vitrified brirk, and the re
sult in every instance Las been entirely
satisfactory. It is true that none "f
these experiments extend over a much
I greater period than two years, but In
that time there has been no unfavorable
I feature developed. In Detroit Mr. Caa
saw specimens of this pavement in the
leading bnsineas street in front of the
city hall. Everybody semed delighted
with it. There was no complaint what
ever, so far as he was able to learn, from
anybody. In the very important matter
of cost he gave some interesting facts
and figures. In Cleveland the contract
tor's price, com plele, was 12.17 per square
yard ; in Detroit it was $2.10. The brick
used in Detroit ate manufactured in Cin
cinnati, and cost $11 per thousand. The
cost of the ashpalt pavements laid in
Cleveland has been $3 47 per square yard,
and in Detroit $2 44. In speaking of the
ail vantages of brick pavements over oth
ers, Mr. Chase remarked that they are
many. In the first place they are highly
recommended in a sanitary sense, being
very cleanly. After being laid the seams
are filled with coal tar, and laterlv a still
further improvemen has been made by
smearing the entire surface of the pave
ment with this material, loose sand being
thrown and ground into the tar, making
a cushion on top. In the course of traf
fic the sharp edges of the bricks worn off,
making grooves quite large enough to
afford horses a sure footing. The pave
ment is said to be practically coiseless.
Another important advantage is claim
ed for it In t' e fact that this pavement is
as well suited to hill streets as to level
ones, in addition to which is the ease
with which it is reiired or pieced. The
brick, he says, may be either vitrified or
the ordinary common brick, for it is a
fact that those of the latter class have
been very successfully on a two years'
test, though the vitrified ate unquestion
able superior.

At a citizens meeting held at Ely

following resolutions were unanimously

Death of Mn, Depew.
Nkw York, May 7. Mrs. Elise Hager-
nian-Depew, the wife of Chauncey M.
Depew, died at her residence in this
at 12:30 o'clock this afternoon.
Although Mrs. Depew was known to be
seriously ill, the sudden termination of
her illness was not expected by her
family and those who were most inti
mately connected with her. Her con
dition showed no material changes
Saturday, and early this morning a turn
for the worse came. Mr, Depew and
his son Chauncey, jr., Mrs. Depew'a
mother, brother and two little nieces
were all present when the end came.
Mr. Depew was completely prostrated,
and shut himself up against all callers
today.
German Army Bill Defeated.
Bkrlin, May 6. The army bill was
rejected today in the reichstag by a vote
of 210 against the bill to 162 in favor of
it. The rescript signed by the kaiser
dissolving the reichstag was immediately
promulgated, and the reichstag is now
dissolved. The result of the vote on the
army bill caused no surprise to the gov
ernment. Gold Beiervo Increasing.
Washington, Xlay 6, The gold
reserve in the treasury ia now close to
$100,000,000. The small offers continue,
and there is a feeling of confidence as
to the outlook for the immediate future.
