TERRE HAUTE DAILY

THE KEMMLER CASE DECISION

rrtsixa or

WABHISWTOK, May 23.—Chief Justice Fuller delivered an opinion in the Kemmler ease to-day, denying the motion for a writ of error and habeas comua. The opinion is lengthy and gave the evidence of careful preparation. It called attention to the fact •tiiat the constitution of the State of New York and that of United States as almost indenticaL The Legislature of New York alter careful examination of all the questions connected with the proposition for utilization of electricity as a method of producing death had decided thai it is not mors cruel than the methods heretofore em ployed andrecognized by law, but a more humane method. The Legislature has the right to decide the method of punishment which shall be inflicted upon those violating, the laws, pronided the method does not interfere with the rights of the person under the Constitution of the United States. At er the matter had been fully examined and acted upon by the Legislature, the case was taken up by the courts and examined in detail in all its features and in the light of the best expert testimony that could be had. It had been carried from one court to another and reached the highest judicial bodies of the state with the same opinion in each court, sustaining the constitutionally of the law and that the method of execution proposed is not cruel. Discussed in relation to the fourteenth amendment to the constitution to the rights ef the citizens, it is held that it does not warrant interference. Such unusual cruel punishments as burning at stake, disemboweling or torture, would not be recognized by the law of civilised nations but there seems to have been no evidence before the courts or legislature to warrant the conclusion that the form of death proposed was cruel ina greaterdegree than that recognized by the constitution and accepted Taw of the land, and as KemmlerV crime was committed after the date at which Uie act was to take effect no sufficient reason is urged or found for a writ of error and it is therefore denied.

A SnlMilllnle Bill,

WASHINGTON, May 23.—It is the present intention of members ol the senate finance committee to report a substitute for the McKinley tariff bill, when their consideration of that measure shall have been completed. This course is deemed to be better Uian to report the bill as it came from the house wiUi amendments. For, when it goes into conference, there will t»e but one question to settle, instead of a myriad of differences upon points in detail. This was the course pursued with Uie tariff bill of 1883 and ^t was found to result in a saving of time. The finance committee will endeavor to maintain its determination not to give oral hearings to any interested parties but it was renorted to-day that importers of several cities to the number of2,000 will come to Washington next week demanding to be heard. If any snclt number, or even a smaller one appears in a body, it is probable that the committee will open its doora to Uie representatives.

RtCHXoxn, Va^ May 23.—The an nooaeetnent In the dispatches sent out from New York to the effecf that John L. Sullivan had agreed to come to Virginia and fight Joe McAnlUfe for $10,000, in July, and negro Jackson for $25,000, in August, has attracted attention among officials in this state. It .was represented that J. M. Bailey, one erf the incorporators of the Virginia Sporting Association whose charter on incorporation wasrushec through the legislature, in its closing hoars of the last session, had a conference with Sullivan with the result mentioned. If any arrangement has been made with Sullivan and other prise fighters to sing in this state it remains to be seen whether they will he permitted to do so. The unanimous sentiment of the authorities and peoole are against it Under the present law prise fighting is punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for not less than five years and a fine of $1,000. If Sullivan or any other price fighter conies to this state for the purpose of pounding each other they are almost certain to be arrested as soon as they pnt foot on Virginia soil and the validity of the charter will be tested.

Garfield wore a full beard, well trimmed and somewhat close. Now it would be classed in life a long beard. The eyes and mouth were clotwd and the features somewhat shrunken, but perfectly white.

There was a good deal of friendly compet tion among several ol Uie leading men in the House for the seat that Mr. Carlisle occupied. Besides being located in tho most eligible position on the Democratic side, the seat has an interesting historv, having been occupied continuously by men of high standing in that partv, including Beck, Blackburn and Carlisle, who have been transferred to the Senate. Mr. Carlisle relieved himself of the embarrassment of deciding between Uie rival applicants by giving the seat to his colleague, Mr. Stone, of tucky, who was not an applicant wann friend of his.

Caart Sole*.

The attention of the Circuit court has been occupied to-day by the hearing of the divorce suit of Anna Fischer vs. Erhardt Fischer. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant had failed to make adequate provision for his family and that he had deserted her and remained away for more than a year and a half without cause. The defendant filed a cross-com-plaint in which divers allegations against his wife were set forth. The latter immediately filed answer in which she denied each and every paragraph ol her husband's complaint in toto. This state of affairs having been reached the case came to trial this morning.

So far as was apparent neither party to the salt was disposed to make any strenuous objection to the severing of the matrimonial cords, but the division of their property, which is located on the corner of Tippecanoe and Twelfth streets and is valued at about $3,500, gave them considerable concern. Mrs. Fischer's testimony went to show that she had paid for a good part of their joint possessions and she did not want to be deprived of her rights. She asked for a share of the property and the custody of the two children, Henry, 18 years old, and Carrie, 15 years old. Just what the outcome of the slightly tangled affair will be remains to be seen.

GUARANTEE.OIL WELL NO. 3The Flow Steady Rnd Pumping Goin| oa—Talk with aa Oll,Maa.

The work of pumping out the oil in No. 3 well commenced on Sunday, lost, and has continued since then, being done once, each, in the forenoonamL&fternoon in other words, the tank is filled and the pumping stopped while Uie valve at Uie bottom of Uie tank is opened and Uie contents by the pressure of its own weight fe forced through piping to well No. 1, and thence to the immense storage tank at the gravel pit. The tank at No. 3 is thus filled and emptied twice a day. Said the superintendent this morning:

We have not yet ordered explosive matter lor shooting this well and shall not do so until Uie column of oil now in Uie well is reduced to a minimum. We shall then shoot the well at the bottom. No, titere is no danger to apprehend, so far as the well is concerned from shooting it, because we have a complete record of the drillings and know just where to place our shot. The trouble in most wells in shooting has been that no accurate record of the well had been maintained, and almost invariably the shot would be put exactly in the wrong place and cause a caving in of the slate. In this case we shall shoot the bottom. The oil we are getting from tim well is remarkably free from water, there being scarcely a drop of water in a barrel of the product. Where tiiere is much water in suspension in the oil the product has to be heated to 120° so that the water may be evajorated, so Uiat the oil may be Drought to anything approaching a market value."

In well No. 3 the oil rock was struck a depth of 1,490 feet in the SmiUi well at 1,550 feet and in the Guarantee No. 2 at 1,510. At the two latter the flow of water rendered the wells valueless. Said the superintendent, "If we penetrate the ridge or 'hog back' of the oil bearing rock—in oUier words, strike it on the top instead of the bottom of the slope, we will get oil every time, sure. In the case of Uie two wells I mentioned the drills struck too low down on the slope of the Idaho rock and the water pressure knocked the enterprise out completely."

The members of the Guarantee Company will meet to-night at Superintendent Keynolds' office and will then decide two sites lor drilling
