INSULTED HIS AUDIENCE. Congressman Kelly, of Knnsas, Makes a Peculiar Speech in Arkansas. Ix the course of a Memorial Day speech at Fort Smith, Ark., Congressman Kelly, of Kansas, among other things, said, in substance: The State of Arkansas is in disrepute. Comrades Benjamin and Clayton wore assassinated in this State because they were loyal to the flag of their county. The eyes of the en lire country are upon Arkansas. He said his State Legislature had passed resolutions denouncing Arkansas, and calling upon the National Government to protect its people, even if it had to put it under martial law, and then continued : I am a Congressman, and, comrades, I will see that you are protected, if mv influence and power can eifecb it, even if we have to resort to martial law. The indignation of the citizens at the

nnarkable speech culminated in the de

nunciation of Kelly at a mass meeting held the same afternoon, at which resolutions censuring Mr. Kelly for thus expressing himself were adopted. t FOUNDEBED ON THE WAY. An Ocean Steamer Reported Lost with All on Board. Beaver line steamer Lake Ontario, Capt, Campbell, from Montreal for Liverpool, with a full list of cabin passengers, including many of the leading residents of Montreal, is reported to have gone down, with all hands. From the last reports of the vessel received, she should have been in the neighborhood of Anticosti ut a time when it is known that a terrible storm was -aging in the Gulf, and the worst is anticipated. The rumor of the disaster seems well authenticated. The steamship Lake Ontario was a craft of 2,933 tons, and was bu;lt at Sunderland in 1887. She was owned by the Canada Shipping Company (limited). GONE TO THE BOTTOM. The Propeller E. S. Peas and Her Crew Lost in tUc Lake. The steamer E. S. Pease, of East Saginaw. Mich., is reported as having foundered in Saginaw bay. The E. S. Pease was commanded by John Stirling of Saginaw City. Besides the captain the crew consisted of Samuel Jamieon, chief engineer; Martin Donohue, mate; William Games, second mate, and eight or ten men. All are lost The steamer had the barges Urania and Planet in tow, loaded with iron from Escanaba for Ohio ports. Previous to two years ago the E. S. Pease was known as the California, and went down at the head of Lake Michigan with a large list of passengers, few if any of whom escaped. FACTORY BLOWN DOWN. Five Men Killed, Six Injured, and Several Buried in the Ruins. A Teeeible accident occurred at Danville, Va. J. G.

EASTERN OCCURRENCES. Lafea Bridgman, Boston's noted blind and deaf mute, died at the Perkins Institute for the Blind at Boston. She was made widely famous by Charles Pickens in his "American Notes." While Anthony Zeesnhcld, Henry ITiltholder, and James Dolan were at work in Otto Colliery, atBranchdale,PaM they were overcome by a sudden outburst of gas and suffocated. The Bev. James H. Harding, aged 81 years, formerly Chancellor of the diocese f Connecticut, died at the St. Francis

Orphan Asylum at New Haven, Conn., j where for eome time ho had been acting i

as chaplain. In the Bishop inquest at Now York the mind-reader's mother and several doctors testified that Bishop had been subject all his life to trances, in which ho appeared to be dead, nnd was dead according to ail medical tests. These trances lasted from a few hours to a week. While a bucket of broken rocks weighing over a ton was being hoisted to the surface in the new Pettibone shaft of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Kailroad near Kingston, Pa., the wire rope broke, letting the bucket fall nearly one thousand feet upon ten men engaged in blasting at. the bottom. Edward Jones was instantly killed, and James Coyle, Samuel Cessman, Cornelius Conn, George Veet, and George Cresley mangled so that they will die. The other men were less seriously injured. The Young Men's Democratic Club of New York City extended a banquet of welcome to ex-President Cleveland at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Nearly live hundred of the leaders of the Democratic party were present. The enthusiasm evoked by the presence of Mr. Cleveland wad enthusiastic. The cheers were long and loud when the ex-President entered the banquet hall. He submitted to the handshaking of the many guests for an hour before taking his seat at the table, and appeared in the best spirits. All factions of the Democracy were represented at the banquet Tammany, the County Democracy, officers of the Beform Club, and of the various other Democratic clubs of the city. At Watertown, N. Y., Cornelius Donnelly hanged himself, under the belief that his wife would come to his rescue before death resulted. He had previously feigned to cut his throat and had also pretended to strangle himself, so that his wife did not think that he was in earnest. Donnelly wanted to get control of his wife's property, amounting to about $16,000. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. At Guthrie, Oklahoma, E. A. Weed, claimant to a lot, also claimed by Mr. Hayes, engaged a large force of men and began to erect a building over and around the other claimant. The aggrieved party was soon re-enforced by a large party of friends and idlers, and soon a crowd of 500 persons was collected After the contestants had engaged in a wordy quarrel, at a preconcerted signal the frame of the building, which consisted of the floor, beams and foundation sills, was picked up by the crowd and carried into the street. In doing this, part of the men carrying the frame, stumbled over a pile of lumber, and men and timbers were piled in a confused mass. While tbe disturbance was at its height, United States Marshal Needles arrived and commanded the crowd to disperse. Meeting with opposition, he sent for the troops. There was much excitement and several fight6, but as soon as the bluecoats were seen coming the turbulent element quieted down, and soon tbe carpenters were at work, with the military formed in a hollow square around the site of the proposed structure. One man, named John Gilchrist, was clubbed by a soldier for not obeying the sentinel's orders. The residence of Emanuel Smith, near St. Mary's, Ohio, was destroyed by fire. A boy named Copsey, who had been stopping with the Smiths, had been rescued from tbe tinmos, but while overcome with fright and before he could be caught rushed back into the midst of the fire and perished. ff A. Leoxabd Meter, ex-Mayor of Phcenix, Arizona, charged with absconding with about ?6,0U0 belonging to the "Wells-Fargo Express Company, was arrested at San Prancisco, Cal., on tbe arrival of the steamer Mexico from Victoria, B. C. In a disastrous cyclone that passed over Clements, Chase County, Kansas, Capt. Brown and his daughter were killed, his wife had a leg almost torn off, and his son had an arm and a leg broken. It i reported that six or seven other persons were killed, but the wires are down and no reliable information can be obtained. JohnPantle, conductor of a stock train, who passed through Clements just after the cyclone, was in plain sight of part of its destructive doings. The cloud looked square-shaped, like a house with it lower portion surrounded by a white cloud, looking like steam, which seemed to rise from all around the main dark cloud. As it came through the timber it cat a clean

swath, apparently destroying everything in its path, and when it struck the Cottonwood Paver it looked as if it was cutting paths through the river, pulling up the water on both sides. He saw Capt. Brown's stone house demolished, another with the roof and one side torn off, and still another lifted and carried from its foundations. The storm crossed the railroad in three places, and seemed to have made a partial circle, going over nearly the same path a second time. Its path was about fifty yards wide, and there is little doubt of much damage and more deaths having occurred further from the road. The Bight Worthy Grand Lodge of the World of the Independent Order of Good Templars is in session at Chicago. W. W. Trumbull, Bight Worthy Grand Templar, of Glnsgow, Scotland, presides.

In evicting the tenants on the Olphert estate in Ireland, the evictors met with a desperate resistance. During the struggle Inspector Duff was badly wounded. Tho tonants had erected barricades around their homes and from behind these defenses thoy hurled stones and other missiles at the attacking party Boiling water was also thrown upon the evictors and a number of policemen and bailiffs were badly scalded. The police arrested fourteen persons. The British man-of-war Surprise was run ashore at Syracuse, Sicily, after colliding with and sinking the steamer Nesta. The man-of-war is full of water. A fire occurred on May 3 at Gokote-Akita-Ken, Japan, destroying over 1,000. houses. The fire originated about 10 o'clock at night inthe resideuco of the Shiota Gonshiro and was aot extingnished until C o'clock of tho Feconct morning. Over twenty persons were burned to death, and nearly one hundred injured. Ten thousand people are homeless.

Littletield, Lieutenant Governor; L. H. Cross, Secretary of State; Samuel Clark, Treasurer. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The reports are more encouraging. There are

decidedly better crop prospects end a better-'

feehn in the branches of industry ana trade which have been moat depressed. Iron, coal, and wool look better, and a better tvudo in cotton ia expected. Greater activity and better prices in the stock market reflect a feeling of increased confidence in the business outlook. Wool is a shade stronger, because prices aBked by growers are much above the markets, but there is little if any change yet in the attitude of manufacturers. Cotton U stronger, and exports as weil as receipts now fall far behind last year's, but the crop reports from the South are generally favorable. There,i8 a better feeling, but as yet without improvement of prices, in the iron and steel trade. Accounts from interior cities are without imtortant change anywhere. Money is everywhere in sufficient supply. The Western distributing centers are all encouraged by exceptionally favorable crop prospects, which are also felt in speculative markets. A little" improvement appears in exports. The increase in imports is about 17 per cent. It is an evidence of reviving foreign purchases, of securities that gold dots rot go out more largely. No signs of monetary disturbance appear, The failures number ir29, as compared with 252 the week previous, Por tho corresponding week of last year the figures were 22.3. THE CHOSEN FEW.

An Kx-Fliiladelphian Who Had Made Threats Against the loctor Locked Up A Chicago Detective Also Hehiml tho Bars Report that He "Was Murder-ad as a Spy. Chicago telegram. The police of Chicago have placed under arrest Peter McGoohan, formerly of Philadelphia, but lately of Chicago, for suspected complicity in tho murder of Dr. Cronin. No oue is allowed to ko him. Mr. McGeehan came to Chicago aboat two months ago. Hois a blacksmith by trade. He left a lucrative position in Philadelphia some seven weeks ago. He also, it is said, left a wife and an interesting family in that city, and since he came to Chicago he has done littlo work. He sought employment at Pullman, obtained, it, and worked a few days. The major portion of the time, it Is alleged, he spent in saloons, where he was a boon companion of the enemies of Dr. Cronin smd a eulogist of Cronin's most malignant antagonists. His disappearance from Philadelphia attracted attention. It is said of him that he was one of those who opposed Dr. McCalsey and Dr. Cronin, and eulogized those who opposed them. He came from the same part of Ireland where a noted leader of the old Clan-na-Gael organization was born. He boasted of his kinship with that person. 1 he story goes that since he came to Chicago McGeehan has associated with the enemies of Cronm and that he expressed an enmity for the doctor, even going so far as to make threats against him. It is paid that his remarks reachincr the oars of Cronin the Inttor remonstrated with McGeehan. These statements were made by several prominent Irish-Americans who were told of McGeehan's detention, They also said that Dr. Cronin met McGeehan one day opposite his oflice on Clark street, and challenged him to repeat the statements he had made concerning him (Cronin) in a Randolph street saloon. McGeehan, they say, made a Halting apology. These men say that since Le Caron's testimony was published McGeehan has tried to impress on his friends that Cronin wa one of the informers referred to in Le Caron's evidence. He was put down us one of the men whom Le Caron said would be executed if their names were published. The persons wno gave the foregoing information say that McGeehan answered to the description given by Mrs. Conklin of the man whofdrove the bugpy from the house on North Clark street the nig.it of CroninTs disappearance. Thoy say h also answers to the description of one ol the Williams brothers given by Mrs. Cai'lsou. The other alleged brother bears a close resemblance to a bartender, a former thtladelphian, who has been McGeehan's good friend and chum since the iatter came here. A Philadelphian now temporarily residing in tho city, and who was instrumental! in bringing about the arrest oi: McGeehan, said in reference to the matter, "it would have been wrong not to arrest McGeehan. He was constantly preaching against Cronin, and of all the person:; who were hostile to the doctor he was the worse. When he came here ho associated with those opposed to I ronin and who regarded a former leader in Irish societies as little less than a god. He made the acquaintance of Coughlin, and through him met other persons who are partisans of the obnoxious leader of the Clau-rna-Gael Irishmen of this city. When Dr. Cronin remonstrated with McGeehan about his threats it is said that McGeehan was furious and became more violent and more frequent in his denunciations o the doctor than he had been before. Now, the quastion arises, did his threats have any bearing on subsequent developments? Did his companions here sympathize with his riews? It is rumored that he was acquainted with P. O. Sullivan of Lake View as well as Detective Coughlin. It is reported that he greeted the iceman as an 'old comrade. ' He made the rounds with Coughlin.. He looked on Coughlin as a valuable mam He often said so. ' 1 As a result of the exposure of Detective Coughlin's knowledge as to the man who acted as Dr. CronuTs decoy two conferences were held on Saturday between Mayor Creiger, Chief Hubbard, Lieut. Elliott, Corporation Counsel Hutchinson, Attorney W. J. Hynes, and Col. W. P. Rend. The accused detective wasjbrongnt before them and subjected to a searching examination. At the close of the last examination of Coughlin it was 6: 30 p. m. and the detective was not only suspended from duty but placed under arrest. The ofhcials were very reticent as tc Coughlin's admissions, if he made any., but Chief Hubbard admitted that things looked very black for him. The chief said he had been deceived in sjme things aud would make a thorough investigation. One of the most surprising features of Coughlin's connection with the case in that Mike IV halen, another detective who, with Coughlin, was detailed on the Cronin cns3, is a brother-in-law of Sullivan, the ice man. Coughlin has admitted to Chief Hubbard that Smith, the man who took the white horse trom Dinau's stable at Coughlin's order, gave him to pay for the horse and afterward left tho city for New Mexico. The apparently inexplicable part of Coughlin's case is the fact that when he was sent out to bring in this man Siuith he returned with the statement that Smith was a 1 runt and had Lfc the city

that afternoon. The nvst startling rumors have bon circulated regarding the enmity of Detective Coughlin t Dr. Cronin and the probaole reasons why ho is at least aware of the identity of the assassins. Many of the friends of Dr. Cronin are outspok3U in their assertions that Coughlin was a npy in tho local camps of the Irish Revolutionary brotherl ood. It is well known that Dr. Cronin and his supporters were actively prosecuting a search for information which would fasten the crimes of -embezzlement and treason on certain leaders in tho Irish Revolutionary brotherhood. It is now claimed that tho detective, Coughlin, Iris been for sometime acting as a spy to keep the accused parties informed of the actions of Cronin and his friends. Dr. Cronin had organized several independent camps of the brotherhood, and it is in these camps that, as is claimed, Coughlin acted the part of a sjy. He is said to have been recently expelled from one of the meetings on tho ground that be was net a properly initiated member. Tho most sensational disclosures are promised regarding a general system of espionage on Cronin's actions, which, it is claimed, will implicate a largo aoctiou of tho Chicago poiico force. Tho police have been put in possession of facts which, if true, are far more startling than was over expected concerning Dr. Cronin's murder. It has been clearly shown by the dead man's friends that his removal was ordered by a committee in aome way representing the Clan-na-Gael society. Charges of traitorous conduct were preferred against him at a meeting of

a Clan-nch-Gael camp; he was found guilty and his removal was ordered. The charge was based on the statement of the British spy, Le Caron, that there were four more spies in America. When Le Caron ms.de the statement on the stand before the farnell commission, ho was ordered to state the names of the spi3S. He said he dared not do it, because if they were known they would be murdered. Presiding Justice Haanari then took him into a closed anto-roo n, aud in tho prssence of Mr. Richard Webster, the Attorney-General, who is conducting tho prosecution, aud Sir Charles Russell, Parnell's attorney, Lo Caron staled the names. Within forty-eiht hours after thi:$ rews was tabled across from Europe, nearly every Clan-na-Gael camp in America had met and passed resolutions declaring in favor of a rigid hunt for the four spies. Tho finger of suspicion, justly or unjuutly, was pointed, among otiiors, at Cronin. A committee was appoint 3d to try him. He was convicted without being given a chance to make a defense, and his a.ssassins were brought here from outside points to curry out the mandate of nhe commit tee. The latter was chosen by secret ballot. Positively nothin g is known of i;he evidence that was produced to bring about the conviction, but it is stated on good authority that it was furnished ty men who were unfriendly to Dr. Cronin. It consists of telegrams, letters and affidavits. It seemed almost overwhelming, and Cron n was declared a traitor. Hi ; removal was ordered under the clause in the Clan-na-Gael by-laws which says that a man can be "removed" for traitorous conduct. The word removed simply means dsath. It has been ascertained that tho bloody trunk which contained the body of Dr. Cronin was one sold bv the A. H. Reveli Furniture company last Feburary. This is an important clew, as the goods found at the house 1872 Ashland avenue were also purchased from the Reveli company by the same parties. The furniture &nd trunk were sold about Feb. 20, ana the purchaser is described as a mr.n of medium build and height wear rig a closely cropped black mustache. He bought a beads tead, mattress, commode, brureau, rockingchair, lamp, wash bond and pitcher, a sachel, and trunk. Ho ordered a heavy strap for tho trunk and one of unusaal weight was given him. The furniture vras delivered in room 12, 117 Clark street, by Revolt's men, who laid the carpet on. the floor. No. 117 Clark street is directly opposite the Chicago Opera House building, where Dr. Cronin hail his office. Room 12 fronts on Clark street. The same man who bought the furniture of RevaLl applied to Knight & Marshall, the renting agents of tho buildine. on Feb. 18, ix. r?nt room 12. Ho was tcld that the whole seven rooms on the fourth Floor, including room 2y were for rent together, but not separately. The stranger at once engaged the whole floor, paying $42 for a month" s rent in advance. He hud no references and said he wanted the room for a friend in Michigan who was coming to Chicago for medical treatment. He was allowed to take possession. A month later Mr. Knight sent hi collector to get another month's rent, but the rooms were all vacant acd the stranger had disappeared. The furniture wiui cdso gone. The d ate of bin disappearance tallies with tho date of the advent o;! a stranger to rent the cottage on Ashland avenue. It is established almost beyond a doubt that ti e same man purchased the trunk from Itevell, rented the place on Clark street, and the cottage on Ashland avenue and also drove the white horse on the night af Cronin's disappearance. '.Che renting of the Clark: street plao; was evidently far the purpose of shadowing the ill-starred doctor's movements Further examination of the cottige where the murder took place revet ds the fact that a severe struggle must have taken place before the victim wai rendered unconscious. The blood stains on floor, wtills, :and furniture are profuse and terrible. Here and there are strands of hair sticking to the congealed blood The supposition ij that Dr. Cronin must have received several blows before losing consciousness and the abi ity to defend himself. There are ringer prints and footmarks showing thai; the assassin or assassins must have lost presence of mind and s uight m a bungling fashion to cover tho evidences of their terrible crime. If William J. Smith, who says he is at present in the employ of S. E. Gross, tells the truth, Detective Coughlin's "unknown Smith," the manfer whom he says he ordered a horso at the North Clark street livery stable on the night of the disappearance of Dr. Cronin, is more than ever a mystery. At the socialistic meotiag at Waverly hall yesterday afternoon, L. C. Crowley who lives at 68 West Chicago avenue, approached a reporter and .saicl: ' Would 3pou like to see Smith for whom Coughlin says he ordered a horse?" When he was asked to point out Smith he said he had been joking. "I do know Smith,0 he said. ' 'Ho is, a friend of Coughlin's, and he cam from Hancock, tho town in Michigan where Coughlin says the Smith he means once lived. I think that Coughlin jus Lappened to thuiK of this man's name when he was forced to name some one. But I know this Smith was not concerned in the matter, that he did not get a horse and that he has not been to ?Jew Mexico. n Smith, ti:n conversation with a reporter, acknowledged that ho i was acquainted with CoughKn, but refused to give his residence or his occupation previous to his engagement with Gross, which was entered into only about a weok ago. That he knew Coughlin he admits, and that he was twice with the detective immediately preceding his assertion made on Friday that the man for whom he engaged a horse was a "Tom Smith,' formerly of Hancock, Mich., who has since gone to New Mexico. Smith say, he has no relatives in the city, an 1 nolrother. He dees noli know anyone of tt& name of "Tom Smith" in Hancock Smith's friends says that Coughlin, finding it necessary to invent a name for the unknown buggy-driver, chanced to think of his newly found friend," and afterward, to carry out the story, gave the mysterious individual not only tho name but the former home address of his friend.

PREPARATIONS FOR EXECUTING KUMMLEF, AT AUBURN, N. Y.

MANITOBA LIBliiiALS AROUSED. They Want Premier Oreenway arid At-torney-G aneral SUartln to Kitjn. Ottawa, Out., May 27. It is reported that the Literal party of Manitoba is demanding the resignation of Premier Greenway and Attorney-General Martin in consequence of charges made against them in conducting the affairs of the province. An investigation into the manner in which the public interests tuuve teen guarded sine 3 the Greenway government came into power will, it is said, bo demanded at one. The association ot! the names of these gentlemen with tho Northern Pacitic and Manitoba roads and their repudiation of the government obligations in connection with the Hudson Bay railway have become subjects of great public dissatisfaction here.

He Will Be Killed While Sitting in anEsy Chair Description of the Chair, the Bub ber Cap the Metal-Soled Shoes, and Other Apparatus. Now York special.; The proceedings on the day of putting to death Kemmler, the murderer, who is to be executed by electricity at Auburn, , so far as they are at present arranged,, will be as follows: On whatever morning shall be decided upon in the week of tin execution the prisoner wilt be notified; and whatever opportunity ho desires for religious consolation and farewel l words; will be given him. These over, ;iust before the' hour fixed upon for the execution the officers will enter his cell, and the death warrant will be read. His shoeswill then be removed, and a pair resembling regular army brogans will be substituted. In the sole of these there will have been inserted a metal plate covering tho whole sole, and connecting with wires passing out through the heels. While one ofKcer-is making this change of shoes another will fasten the prisoner's hands together in front, and will place around his body, just beneath the armpits, a stout leather strap, with a buckle fastening it in front, and snap hooks projecting from each side at the back. Another officer will place upon the back of the prisoner's head a peculiar close-fitting cap. apparently of black rubber, made around a small metal piece in the center. It will look somewhat as if made by taking a rubber foot-ball, and with a metal cap at the hole for a center, cutting off the end of the ball into a sort of hood. The cap will fit over almost the whole of the head, from the base ot the brain to well toward the forehead. Inside of it, in the center aboat the metal piece, will be a spiral arrangement of copper wire, about fire inches in diameter, and made to lit down over the part of th3 head that it will cover. The wires, just before the cap is placed on the prisoner's head, will be covered with 6ponge saturated with salt water. While these arrangements are being put on the prisoner will be sitting on a chair in his cell. This chair, not differing apparently from an ordinary one, but which is being made especially for the purpose, will be connected with wires leading to another room, and the prisoner sitting in the chair will without knowing it be subjected to a current of electricity too light to be felt, but heavy enough to give an expert electrician in the other rcom an exact measurement, by the use of what is known as the" Whetstone bridge, w of the electrical resistance of the man. This will take only an instant, and will be done before the officers have the pr;sontr ready to leave the cell. From the cell the process;oa will be much as now to the execution-room, where the deputies and other persons permitted by law to witness the execution will be waiting. Near the center of the room, raised upon a small platform about eight inches above the floor, will be a chair, made somewhat like a larga reclining chair. The long, straight t fame that forms the slanting back will be of hardwood pieces, three inches square, and will be long enough so that if a se ven-foot man should li3 in the chair his head would rest upon tho back. The seat and arms will be of plain wood and without any peculiarities. The upper part of the back frame on each side will be fitted with a slot, in which will slide back and forth a small arrangement with a ring at the top and a thumbscrew beneath. The rings are to receive the hooks in the back of tbe belt about the man's body, and the screws ar3 to fasten the arrangement in place at the spot where the rings will meet the hooks, which will vary according to the height of the prisoner. In front of the chair will be a foot-rest, something like those in a barber's shop, except that the top portion, instead of beting fixed, will be balanced on a pivot to permit it to dip front or back, so that the feet will lie firmly upon it. This whole foot-rest will be arranged to slid) backward and forward, and to be secured with a screw at the point where the prisoner's feet will rest upon it. From the ceilin-g over the back of the chair and over the foot-rest will dangle two flexible wires, like those from which small electric lights swing. On the wall at one side will be a small round dial attached to a brass instrument. A hind upon the dial will indicate the intensity of the current that will pass over the wires. Near it on the wall will be a small doublepole switch, a brass instrument similar to the familiar switches used to shut off or let on the current wherever electricity is used, but designed especially to show at a glance whether the current is off or on, in order to prevent accidents which carelessness in handling the apparatus might bring about. This will be all of the apparatus apparent in the rooin. The prisoner, immediately upon entering the room, will be led to the chair, and in a moment will be pushed back into it, the hooks in the belt about the bodyslipped into the rings in the chair, and there fastened in place by the turn of the screws. At . the same moment his feet will be raised, the foot-rest slipped under them and fastened by a turn of the screw, and a strap on top of the rest will be buckled tightly over his ankles. In another moment the two dangling wires will be fastened, one to the metal at the center of the back of the cap and the other to tho metal conuection on the heel of each shoe. A black cloth will be pulled over the face of the prisoner, the officers will stand we LI oack from the chair, and at a signal the executioner at the switch will turn on the current, the volume of which has previously been adjusted to suit the resistance of the prisoner, as shown by the test in tne cell. Only the experience of Joseph k emmler can certainly tell what will happen then, but if the confidence of those in charge or the efficiency of the apparatus is well founded, at the instant that the switch is touched there will be u little stiffening of the prisoner's body, a little quivering of the limbs, life will flutter for a bare instant, like the needle that will be dancing upon the dial on the wall, and then it will all be over. There will be no pain, no convulsion, scarcely ft moveu.ent to mark the passage from life to death, but the victim will be hopelessly and unmistakably dead. minor Mention. Thk total liabilities of tho Scranton (Pa.) Bank are $320,000. Miss Susie Pickle was instantly

killed bv liehtniiiflr at the new town of-

Friafo Oklahoma.
