A Horrible Death

We published, few weeks since,
the death OF d. d. Coilom, near the
residence Of VIM. Montgomery, on
the Baker grade, with such details
~ we were able to obtain. Mr..
Montgomery, who came here since,
has given US a correct version of
the unhappy accident. About half
past IL A. M, Collom took the
Wheelbarr0w from the house to go
: short distance for some wood.
AZ usual, he put the little four
yeAr-old. girl OF Mr.. Montgomery
in the barrow and wheeled her out
to dead fallen tree, which rested
on two limbs five feet from the
ground. Another heavy limb pro-
jected on the upper side. COLON
took the axe, stood carelessly un-
der the tree, and commenced cut
ting one Of the supports. He had
hardly gotten more than one chip
Of the limb before it gave way, and
Collom, jumping one side, was
caught under the projecting upper
limb as the tree rolled over. The
cries Of the child attracted Mrs.
Montgomery and her mother, Mrs.
Beninger, who ran out to find
Collom crushed under the tree and
unconscious. AS the tree would
weigh upwards CT 1000 pounds, the
ladies were unable to extricate
him, and Mrs. Montgomery started
on foot on run to some neighbors
living over the hill four miles
away. When she arrived at her
destination, she having pursued a
direct course. her clothes were torn
In rags by the brush and her feet
bleeding. She commenced scream
ing as soon as she got in sight of
the house, which brought out the
men who were at dinner. Forum
ately her cries frightened the
horses, and they ran to the house.
AZ soon as the trouble was made
knowDs two of the men mounted
horses without waiting for saddle
or bride, and left on run. In the
nhnence OF Mrs. Montgomery, Mrs.
Beninger sat by the side of C0llom,
bathing his head and giving him
some wine. He had recovered his
consciousness, and said in answer
to the inquiry, that he was not in
Rol4t oot i6ib 90 IL Who
The limb had caught him on the
shoulders, and In that way crushed
him to the ground, his head and
chest falling mostly out from under
the tree. He lay there about an
hour and half conversiDg with
Mis-. Beninger, when Mr.. .Chyno-
weth arrived. The latter dis
mounted, seized an oak limb, put
one end under the tree, got on his
knees with the other end of the pry
on his back, and lifting, drew Col
lom out. Collom then asked to
have his limbs Strengthened out,
and said his arm was broken.
Chynoweth assured him it was not
broken, that he was all right, when
COLON said, 81 feel so much
easier" At that moment he drew
his injured arm toward him and
Immediately expired. He did not
live two minutes after being taken
from uuder the tree.-Kern Coun-

There is no doubt about the con.
servstism of the JeWish Messenger,
which condemns the Judaism
which is remodelled every deca de
by the majority vote of sy a.
gogue's members, aud says: "This
is the curse OF American Judaism,
deadenipg and poisoning the moral
sensibiIities of our people, enervat-
Ing their energies. paraIyzing
their strength, producing a
generation of infldels and apos-
tates-not q race of high-souled,
ardent Hebrews, filled with the
spitit of an Ezra, q Mscabee, q Ju-
dah Hallevi, q Frankel-but a
breed of indlfferentists, who sneer
at the synagogue, and whose igno-
rance Is greater. source of evil
than the bugbear of radIcalism. !"
The Messenger also applies the rod
to those wealthy Jews who "fancy
that their money absolves them
from compliance with the laws and
statutes of their faith, and whose
conscieuces are lulleu to sleep by
timid and accom- N odating rabbis. F"

a Chair for Criminals.

Electricity and the uses to which
1t has been applied by scientific
men have done much for the COM
fort and convenience of society, and
the time perhaps may not be far
distant when omnibus and cabs,
trans and trains, will be seen in
streets or on railway lines speed
Ing along without either horses or
locomotive to draw them. A sci
entific German gentleman, who is,
besides, q pbilanthropist, being
grieved to the bottom of hi senai-
tive heart at the suffering of con-
demned criminals who expiate
their crime either by the guillotine
or the rope, has reached the conclu-
sion that 1t would be much more
humane 10 carry out the sentence
OF death by means of an electric
battery, the shock of which would
kill instantapeously without the
patient experiencing the slightest
suffering or even discomfort. His
invention has been tested In Ger
many, the result being that it Is
pronounced decidedly ingenious,
whatever may be the objections
made to the innovation with re-
gard to Its practicability. A Ger.
man contemporary thus describes
the Humanitarian apparatus. In a
ball set apart for executions an al
legorical statue of Justice is erected,
holding In one hand sword, in
the other pair of scales. In
front of the statue there ia a
JauteuiS. destined to be occupied by
the conedmned man After sen.
tence has been passed, the Judge
(who would fulfil at the same time
the duties of the public execution
er) let's wand, which be holds In
his right hand, fall into one OF the
scales, 1t goes down, at the same
moment powerful elec ric battery
concealed in the statue is brought
Into action, and this battery being
connected with the fduteuit, Its oc-
cupant Ia struck dead as If by
lightning. Experiments have been
made on an OK, horse aud some
dogs, death in each case
being instantaneous. More
over, adds the journal from
which we quote, an accidental
circumstance has proved the rapid
ity with which human life is
destroyed by the invention. A
who witnessed the ex
having imprudently
gone too near the fduteuSt was kill
ed on the spot before he had time
to utter sound or make a move
meDt. The invention may be
,iever and Its accessories artistic,
but there is very little chance of
lts adoption as yet, and criminals
must walt awhile before being ac-
,ommodated with an easy chair
l0r their execution. - London
