NEW YORK.
A Report Denied.

New YORK, June IL. Conkling and Plat.
it is understood, will return to Albany to-
morrow or next day and continue the con-
test. 1t is stated the stalwarts will put halt
breeds on the defensive on the bribery ques-
ton. Rumor is denied that Grant will go to
Albany to aid in the struggle for Conkling
and Plat. The stalwart leaders say if it was
30 Grant would work more harm than good
and compr omise himself in many ways. He
would do more service by coming to New
York and presiding over a public meeting
endorsing the resignation of Conkling and
Plat. Senator Birdsell, half breed leader,
gave his opinion that Depew's vote will be
materially increased during the coming week
and the stalwarts would inevitably be broken.
The train which arrived in the city from
Albany tonight brought most of the New
York aud Brooklyn members of both Houses
and . number ofpolitical followers.

The Congressional election in South

court in revoking the appointment of SUI
pervisors of elections left the way so

The centennial of the birth of George
Stephenson was celebrated in many
places in England. Thursday. the most
noticeable celebration being at Newcastle
on-Tyne. To no man has the world been
SO much indebted for improvement in the
method of travel and transportation as to
Stephenson. To him are due the great
changes wrought by the locomotive in
speed and comfort in travelling. and the
social and commercial revolutions effect
ed by our railway systems. Stephenson
ranks rs one Of the greatest benefactors
Of the world. The great names in the
history Of military achievements sink into
insignificance when compared with his.
che story of his life is one that every boy
should read. 1t should be found in every
library. His sterling honesty. industry
and perseverance are as conspicuous on
all its pages, as the remarkable genius
and achievements for which the world ad-
mires and honors him.

Bradley's account of the alleged at
tempt to bride him to vote against Conk-
ling resembles quite remarkably the story
that Swan told about the alleged attempt
to bride him. Swan however was careful
to keep the money he said he received in
his own hands. while Bradley it appears
passed his over to the Speaker. The ca
reer Of Swan after figuring in the bribery
business was about what might be ex-
pected OF men who accuse themselves Of
being bribed in order to iniure others.
No honorable man would do such vile
act. It is more likely that Bradley is act
ing his part for pay from the Conkling
side than that any attempt was made to
bride him from the other side. He is
probably good mate for Swan.

4 F'autemif for Criminals.
London Evening Standard. !


Electricity, and the uses to which it has
been applied by scientific men, has done
much for the comfort and convenience of
society, and the time, perhaps, may not
be far distant when omnibuses and cabs,
trans and trains, will be seen in streets or
on railway lines speeding along without
either horses or locomotives to draw them.
A scientific German gentleman, who is,
BESIDES. philanthropist, being grieved
to the Bottom of his sensitive heart at the
suffering of condemned criminals who
expiate their crime either by the gulllo-
tine or the rope, has reached the cOnclu-
sion that it would be much more
humane to carry out the sentence of
death by means of an electric battery, the
shock of which would kill instan-
taneously, without the patient ex-
periencing the slightest suffering or even
discomfort. His invention has been test
ed in Germany, the result being that it is
pronounced decidedly ingenious, what
ever may be the objections made to the
innovation with regard to its practical
bility. German contemporary thus
describes the humanitarian apparatus:
In hall set apart for executions an allie
gorical statue of Justice is erected, hold
ing in one hand a sword, In the other
pair of scales. In front of the statue
there is fauteuil, destined to be occu-
pied by the condemned man. After SEN
tence has been passed, the judge (who
would fulfill at the same time the duties
of public executioner) lets wand, which
he holds in his right hand, fall into one
of the scales; it goes down; at the same
moment a powerful electric battery con-
cealed in the statue, is brought into
action, and this battery being connected
with the fauteuil, its occupants is struck
dead as if by lightning. Experiments
have been made on an OK, horse, and
some dogs, death in each case beng in
Simultaneous. Moreover, adds the journal
from which we quote, an accidental cir
cumstance has proved the rapldity with
which human life is destroyed by the in
vention. A magistrate who witnessed
the experiments having gone too near
the fauteuil, was killed on the spot be-
fore he had time to utter sound or make
movement. The invention may be
clever and its accessories artistic, bit
there is very little chance of its adoption
as yet, and criminals must wait awhile
before being accommodated with an
easy chair for their execution.

Ferris had certain peculiar look about

Then, again, he was recognized by his
father-in-law, Charles T. Brown, and by
Aaron Williams, now a naval store in

him from childhood. Itwould have been
