UaHe to Accidents) and TlniaiwgCTWt the Same aa Hanging. A ghastly tragedy, tho sequel of another one, has been enacted in the prison at Auburn, N. Y. Murderer William C. Taylor who cut the throat of a fellow convict, was placed in the electric execution chair to expiate with his own life th crime he had committed He received a shock of 1,475 volts but the contact was not sufficiently prolonged, and when it was Bought to turn on the current again the dynamo would not do its work. The man slowly came back toward consciousness to prevent which morphine was administered while preparations were being made to get electric supply from the city's dynamo plant. Linemen quickly connected the prison apparatus with the electric light plant and in an hour all was ready for the second electrocution. Taylor continued to grow stronger and was given an injection of morphine. A small dose of chloroform was also administered. He was then carried' bodily to the chaii which bad been repaired, and was strapped into a sitting position. The current was then turned on, the bday straightened up and for half a minute 1,240 volts coursed . through Taylor's unconscious form and he was pronounced dead. BKST OX WAR. Cranoa Give Official Notice of the Siam Blockade. Bangkok special: Notice has been given of the blockade by the French licet. Outgoing vessels have been warned that they must clear Bangkok and Woh-Si-Chang or submit to detention. The blockade will extend along the entire north coast of the Gulf of Siam. ' The French fleet, with M. Pavie, French minister resident, has gone to Koh-Si-Chang. The general expectation is that early in August the French fleet will attack Bangkok and land some 5,000 men. There is littlft doubt herethatFrance-a purpose is to make Siam a French colony. The French Government is exceedingly anxious to avoid open warfare. When the gun boat Lutin was at the! Menam bar recently, the foreign minis-1 ter sent to M. Pavie a note to the effect that the King and his advisors were most anxious to maintain peace. All such efforts, however, are believed by the English residents to be vain. Unless England will intervene to assist in a settlement of the dispute there can be little expectation or even hope that France will refrain from extreme measures. pfatmeiy Wracked. Two huge boilers of the Bellville Distillery Company, St. Louis, Mo., exploded with terrific force, tearing the boiler house to fragments and badly wrecking part of the main building. The noise of the explosion was deafening and the air was filled with flying de bris. A portion of one of the boilers was blown a distance of 250 feet.

The First National Bank of Santa Ana, Cal, which renumed business on Saturday after a short suspension, received In deposits 112,000, wbilo tbe withdrawals amounted to only $6,000.

STATE GROG SHOPS.

THE PALMETTO DISPENSARIES CAUSE EXCITEMENT. South Carolinians Are Bald to lie Dissatisfied with Their New Liquor Luv--Big Falling Off in the Ralo of Intoxicants and Less Drunkenness, However. Sold by the State, According to a dispatch from Columbia, S. C, tlio greatest oxeitement prevails thoro over tho Suite dispensary mw. i ne Dig government bar-room in Columbia is now in full operation, r ii n n i n g twelve houre a day, and turning: out 'on an average from 12,000 to 15,000 flasks per da;,- of whltsky if various kinds, iu wo II as gin and ot her liquors, The Ktuto liua gnm into tho hiisincas on a lisr on!o.and tkord is probably not Kiu'.h another largo establishment in the country, Tho building, a eut of which is given, is a largo one, aitunlod on Main street just a few yards from the State-house grounds! With the exception of a BmaH office for the railroad commission and an agricultural journal, the building is wholly devoted to tho State's whisky enterprise. The measure recently put in force was carried through by Governor Tillman, and forbids the sale of liquor anywhere except in government, dispensaries and by persons appointed by tho State. Ever since tho law went into operation, it has met with bitter opposition especially from the liquor dealers. These ba'so their opposition on STATE DISPEXSjlRYBCILHINa, COLVU01A, & C. the ground that tho State has thus created a monopoly for itself and, secondly, that it cannot engage in trade. The dispensary at Greenville, one of the largest in the State, has been closed by Judge Norton until the law's constitutionality can bo determined. Tho case will be heard In the Circuit Court, and if the law is here declared uncnnstHiitionalj Bimilar cases, will be opened in 811 the eight Circuit Courts of the State. But affairs will still, probably, remain unsettled until tho Supremo Court can pronounce on the matter. Although there has been less drunkenness and less liquor sold in the State since July 1, yet, financiallv, the dispensaries have been nearly failures, averaging only from i'Si to' $45 a day. A largo brewing company sent some ale into the State the other day, which is also contrary to tho dispensary law, in order to test its legality. Many saloons are in operation on the quiet. The first arrest, made Saturday, under the new law, was that of an Italian, Vincent Chioo. of Charleston, for selling beer last week. Three State constables and a dozen spies went to the man's house, searched it from garret to cellar, and confiscated not only liquor but almost everything else they could find. An angry crowd watched the proceedings. Several photographers were present, and the jx?ople cried for them to tako pictures of the spies. The scene in the police court was equally exciting. Tho crowd hissed the officers and Chico cursed them, and one drew a revolver against him. Many wealthy citizens offered to go bail for the Italian to any amount. Other liquor dealers were subsequently arrested. These are only the A A m 1 Pi IISKI wj Ui VtfsKj WARRANTED gr Sttanowo Proof Wgtf - AND CHEMICflLLI ARE THE 8TATBS LAItEC first of some forty or fifty (rases of variation of the law which 'the constabulary are now working up.

BILL MEWBY GUILTY. A Springllold Jury Finds that He Is Rickety Iun " lSentun. The famous suit, involving an alleged pension fraud that would swindle the (iovjff-nment out of 20.000 or moro, has been ilocidod at Springfield, HI-, and Bill NewViy in declared to te "Rickety Dan" Benton. The case is probably tho most remarkable that has ever boon tried in the United State.-. Tho object of tho trial was to determine the identity of n man who claims to be "Bill" New by, but who the Government 18 sure is "Dan" Benton. Benton, If that is his name and tho jury says it is was under criminal indictment for personating Newby in order to procure a pension from 'tho (jovernment. It seems that Bill Nevrhy was a soldier who was supposed for twenty-nino yoara to havo been killed in battle. A short time ago the defendant in this trial put in an application for a pension, claiming that he was Bill Newby, and that, instead of being killed, ho had boon badly wounded in tho head and leg and had Ih'C'i taken to Andersonville prison. There he was known as "Crazy Jack." When in course of t ime he wa's released, a den-?nted, "rickety" man, he says ho became a wanderer and drifted about tho country for a quarter of a century, becomin-i an inmate of various poor-houses and of the Tennessee penitentiary. Then his reason partially returned and he came tc realize that he was Bill Xewby. He went out r.m- nir his old neighbor and declared himself. He recognized oll fi-vndri and talked it such a manner of old times that he convinced many of them thai he was really old "Bill. It must In so. they urged, for nobody but Bit Newby would know things lio spoke of. Some 'members of the Newby family, including his old wife, who had long been drawing a pension on his account, received him as genuine. Finally he himself made application foi an original pension and then hi- troubles commenced. An investigation ) BENTON, ALIAS "BH.L" BEWBV. his case resulted in establishing his identity to tho satisfaction of the government ollicials as "Rickety Dan Benton and his arrest, indictment, trial and conviction followed. In opening the case ths Government commenced with Dan Benton as a child, after it hud shown Bill Newby to be dead and buried. He is traced from White County, Illinois, into Tennessee, whore he anil his mother wero taken by ono Andy Wooten. There Dan grew up. He was known to the peopl of the neighborhood, and so was his mother Lydia. Finally he was sent to tho penitentiary at Nashville for horse, stealing, and remained there for twelve years. He was Dan Benton, tho son of Lydia Benton, and there was no other pretense. Thus it was until 1889, when he left the penitentiary. He was an inmate of many poorhouses in Tennessee, Ohib, Indiana and Illinois, both liefore and after his incarceration in the penitentiary. In these he was registered as Dan Benton. The witnesses t' tho government testified to events which succeeded each other in perfect rotation, while those of the defense left a gap of twenty-nine years. They all testified to tin" Identity of tho defendant as Bill Newby. but in their descriptions of how Jlill Newby looked before the war they varied 'greatly. The most important witness for tho defense was William Cohoon. u soldier and a member of Com) any K, Fortieth Regiment. Ho lieeame acquainted with Newby in the army, and on the 4th of April, two days before the battle of Shiloh, stood guard with him for twenty-four hours. While on guard ho had a conversation with him which ho had never repeated to anybody. After tho reapieurunee of Newby in 1811. the latter, without anything having been said to draw him out, talked about that conversation. The witness was satisfied defendant was Newby. Mrs. Newby, SMi years olsl, believes him her soil, and' two sisters and a brother testify that he is certainly Bill Newby. Newby, supposed to lie dead, never' received his discharge from the service, and had ho established his claim ho would havo been entitled to pay during all these years, amounting to about 22,OO0. The extreme paalty of the law for his offense is fifteen years in the penitentiary. I'ublic sentiment is divided as to tlio correctness of the verdict and many are bitter in their denunciation of the jury. FRANTIC CHICAGOANS.

StomaehLiver Cure The Most Astonishing Medical Discovery of the Last One Hundred Years. It is Pleasant to the Taste as the Sweetest Nectar. It is Safe and Harmless as the Purest Milk. This -wonderful Nervine Tonic has only recently been introduced into this country by the proprietors and manufacturers of the Great South American Nervine Tonic, and yet its great value as a curative a-rent has lon been known bv tv few of tho most loomed physicians who have not brought its merits and value ta the knowledgo of tha general public. Thia medicine haa completely aolved tho problem of the cure of indi' Erootioiii ilv nin uaia, and diacnaco of tbo general ncrroua Byfltcmi It in also of the greatest value in tho cure of all forms of failing health from whatever cause. It performs this by tho great nervine tonio qualities which it possesses, and by its gT"' curative powers upon the digestive organs, the stomach, the liver and the bowels. No remedy compares with this wonderfully valuable Nervine Tonic as a builder and strengthener of the life forces of the human body, and as a great rencwer of -a broken-down constitution. It is also of more real permanent value in the treatment and cure of diseases of the lungs ti:an any consumption remedy ever used on this continent. It is a marvelous cure for nervousness of females of all ages. Ladies who are approaching the critical period known as change in life, should not fail to uso this great Nervine Tonic, almost constantly, for tho space of two or three years. It will carry them safely over "the danger. This great strengthener and curative is of inestimable value to tho aged and infirm, because its great energizing properties will give them a new hold on life. It will add ten or fifteen years to the lives of many of those who will use a half dozen bottles of the remedy each vear. IT IS A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF

Nervousness, Nervous Prostration, Nervous Headache, Sick Headache, Female Weakness, Nervous Chills, Paralysis, Nervous Paroxysms and Nervous Choking, Hot Flashes, Palpitation of the Heart, Mental Despondency, Sleeplessness, St. Vitus' Dance, Nervousness of Females, Nervousness of Old Age, Neuralgia, Pains in the Heart, Pains in the Back, , . Failing Health,

All these and man' other complaints cured by this wonderful Nervine Tonic NERVOUS DISEASES, As a cure for every class of Nervous Diseases, no remedy has been able to compare with the Nervine Tonic, which is very pleasant and harmless in all its effects upon the youngest child or the oldest and most delicate individual. Nine tenths of all the ailments to which the human family is heir are dependent on nervous exhaustion and impaired digestion. When there is an insufficient supply of nerve food in. the blood, a general state of debility of the brain, spinal marrow, and nerves is the result. Starved nerves, like starved muscles, become stroug when the right kind of food ia supplied; and a thousand weaknesses and ailments disappear as the nerves recover. As tho nervous system must supply all the power by which the vital forces of tho body arc curried on, it is the first to suffer for want of perfect nutrition. Ordinary food' does not contain a Bitflicient quantity of the kind of nutriment necessary to repair the wear our present mode of living and labor imposes upon the nerves. For this reason it becomes necessary that a nerve food be supplied. This South American Nervine has been found by analysis to contain the essential elements out of which nerve tissue is formed. This accounts for its universal adaptability to the cure of all forms of nervous derangement.
