would turn him out of the little shop, the rent of which he had owed for some time. The day after the burning of the theatre Mrs. Gertler ran about the streets distracted, call ing for her husband, who had not returned home, and had had gallery ticket for the theatre given him the day before. Her mis- cry was so great that the committee institu- ted for the relief of the victims gave her 200 fiorins at once, and when her case was looked into, provided for her for life. She was to have 36O forins year for herself, and COCO forins were deposited for each of the four education. Her mental condition began to mend, and she resigned herself to her fate. The family, from an object of general pity, became one of envy to the poverty stricken neighborhood in which they lived 4 few days ago an anonymous letter was sent to the police stating that Joseph Gertler was not burned, but that he was living in a small Hungarian village, where he received letters from his wife. The woman was immediate ly arrested and confessed that she knew of her husbands deceit; that on the terrible night of the fire, driven half crazy by hun ger, cold and despair, they had conceived the plan for turning to use the calamity which had destroyed the happiness of hundreds The four children are taken care of by the magistrates of Vienna The discovery of this fraud naturally excites suspicion that it may not be the only one of the kind.

It is stated that recent experiments in Philadelphia have proved that it is possible to propel street cars smoothly and rapidly by the expansion of powerful steel springs, the difficulty of giving uniform and perfect l temper to the metal having been overcome. The company controlling the patents makes the following claims: The motor consists of six springs coiled upon a cylinder. Each spring will be made of flat bar of steel 300 feet long, 6 inches wide and l inch thick. These springs are tempered by the new pro- cess so uniformly and so delicately that their power becomes tremendous. After, first be- | ing coiled so that their diameter IS Is feet they are tempered, and then wound up until | they are placed upon the motor truck and 1 the appliances of the patents adjusted. A stationary engine at the terminus of the road then winds the springs to diameter of | 40 inches, and it has been demonstrated that | the power of the expansion of the six springs from 40 inches to 74 feet in diameter Is suffi- cient to drive an ordinary street car full of | people five miles any track in Philadel- 1 phia. The springs entirely under the control of the brakeman that he can use the power of all of them at once or limit the power to one, or in going down a steep grade he can shut them all off. A check prevents the car from running at greater rate of speed than nine miles an hour.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Wilmington Nee0s asserts that the rights of colored citizens are systematica ly trampled on in Delaware, in spite of the fact that majority of the people of the State are in favor of justice to all classes, This is rem dered possible through the peculiar State laws regulating suffrage and the gross unfair ness of Democratic officials in executing them. The Neaos believes, however that public opinion will gradually assert itself, and that the bourbonism even of Delaware will ultimately be driven to the wall.

The manu lecturers admit that the scale of wages is unjust, but say that the workmen will not allow them to change it., declare that in the present condition of trade they cannot pay more in wages, and refuse the advance. They appear firm in the re- fusal and the workmen have therefore to withdraw their demand or there will be a strike June l, when the old agreement as to wages expires which will throw 40, 900 men and boys out of work and leave idle $35,- OO0,0O0 capital invested in the business.

The case of New Hampshire against Louis- jana in the Supreme Court of the United States has been advanced on the docket and set down for hearing. It. is suit brought under the provisions of sn act of the New Hampshire Legislature authorizing the transfer to the State by any citizen of New Hampshire of claims against any repudiating State, so that suits may be brought upon them. The Constitution of the United States forbids suits against State by citizens of another State, but the Su. preme Court has jurisdiction of suits by one | State against another. Citizens of New Hampshire owning bonds issued by the State of Louisiana, and afterwards repudiated, can now, by authority of the act above men, | toned, use the name of the State to recover their debts. The general opinion among good lawyers is that these suits will not be
 sustained.

Scene.

New York, May 19.-Augustus D.
Leighton, colored, was hanged this
morning for the murder of his mis-
tress, Mary Dean. The death war
rant was read to Leighton in his cell,
and then the procession to the gallows
was formed, Rev. DR.. Morgan pre-
ceding and reading, Il am the resur-
rection and the life" Leighton
glanced occasionally to one side and
then the other, and when near the
gallows looked at it a second and then
his eyes dropped toward the pave
ment. On reaching the gsllows he
turned and faced the spectators. The
executioner adjusted the moose and
drew the black cap over the culprit's
face. The signal was given, the rope
cut and the body of the condemned
man bounded in the air and fell back
within three feet of the pavement.
and the moose failed to slip under the
ear and caught under the chin. Then
commenced the sickening troubles
which showed that Leighton was
strangling to death, the fingers clutch
ing convulsively, legs drawn up aud
his actions agonized. The heavy
breathing was awful to hear. In
seven minutes he was pronounced
dead by the official physician, but as
the body was partially lowered con-
vulsive heavings of the chest were
plainly discernible Another physi-
clan declared him dead eight minutes
after the first announcement. The
body was removed to Evergreen Gem
etery for burial.

GONE TO HIS DOOM.

Evening Banner, IS.

This morning Sheriff Tim johnson
left with w. w. Rea, the condemned
murderer of james Goodrum, for Pu-
laski, where he will to morrow pay
the penalty for his crime, unless Gov
ernor Hawkins interferes.
The prisoner exhibited but little
excitement, and his fArewells showed
that he has the kindest feelings to-
ward Mr.. Maddux and the other at
taches Of the Jail.
The case has created considerable
interest in this city, and the general
belief is that Res is probably innocent.
He appreciates this fact, and left the
following letter, with request that it
be published in the city press
To the people Of the city of Nash
vile and county of Davidson: I am
truly thankful for the kindness YOU
have extended toward me in trying to
secure my life; also to the press. But
you have accomplished no good in
your work. | hope and trust that you
will be literally rewarded in a better
world for your kindness. 1t seems
that my time has come to die. For
the efforts that have been made, both
here and in the county l am from. and
it having no impression on the Gov
ernor, it seems he does not want me
to live. w. w. REA.
The following dispatch was received
by Mr.. Maddux at 1850:
G. A. MADDUx, Jailor:
PULASKI, May 18.-After several
attempts to get away, landed here
safely with w. W. Rea.
TIM, JOHNSON, Sheriff.
These attempts at escape are only
natural whether Rea is innocent or
guilty. and they can only increase the
sympathy which is felt for the con-
demned man.

license would enable those with a small
capital to engage in the business
though now debarred, and thereby
make competition greater and ma
chimes cheaper.
Mr.. Taylor objected to the bill be-
cause he said that agents would first
go through the county and take the
names Of people wanting machines,
and then with three months license
go back and sell all the machines
wanted. This is probably the kitten
in that meal tub.
A material error in the engrossment
of the State debt bill was discovered
yesterday morning by Judge Horace
ii Harrison, who was comparing it
with the original copy to see what
amendments had been made in the
Senate. One line was omitted where
by the compromise was made to apply
to the interest alone, and no provision
made for funding the principal. The
Senate recalled the bill by resolu-
ton, the bill was re. engrossed correct
ly and transmitted to the House,
where it began at the beginning again
and was passed on its first reading.
As the Committee on Enrolled Bills
comprises several of the most careful
members of the Senate, it is remark
able that the error passed unnoticed
by them. ALL shades Of opinion on the
State debt question are represented on
the committee.
The Conference Committee which
went to New York had their photo

bridge, makes a fitting frame and
background for the group. Senator
Tillman says the picture is not charged
fer in the bill of expenses.
Mr.. Perkins, yesterday, made some
jocular illusions to Mr.. TayIor's hav-
! ing followed the plow, to which Mr..
Taylor responded by referring him to
Henry Clay, the mill boy of the
slasheS, and other great men Of humble
origin. Mr.. Perkins thereupon- dis
claimed any intention of rejecting
upon the distinguished gentleman
from Upton, and said he himself had
followed the plow. And" he added,
II expect it would be better for Ten
nessee if we were both to-day follow

Mr.. Bell, in the Senate yesterday,
made quite a speech in favor of cheap
sewing machines, and drew pathetic
picture Of himself at time when he
had to make, by hand, pants for him
self aud nine boys. He was much re-
joiced when the sewing machine came
in, and found that he could, in half
an hour, make pair OF pants that had
formerly taken him a whole day to
make.

a Yetel of MANY Wars.

A visit was paid to this Office yes
terday by Mr.. Henry Krobs Of Gov
ington, Tennessee, who has been a
soldier in many wars and is good for
the next one if it comes in this cen
tury. He and Mr. E. Whitmore, of
the LEDGER, served together in the
same regiment in the late war and the
meeting between them is always pleas
ant. Mr.. Krobs is a German and
before there was a united German en-
pire he served several years in the
army; when the Crimean war came on
that was just to his liking. He was
at the front under British colors and
at the storming of the Malakoff he
received severe bayonet thrust in
the shoulder, which accounts for one
shoulder being little higher than the
other yet. Finally, however, he tired
of soldering, was discharged, and
came to this country to find peace, as
he supposed. But our war soon came
on, the old spirit moved him, and he
Joined JEFF ThompSon's command, in
which he was wounded in one
of the early fights. After
that he joined Bankhead's battery.
While serving with this he was
wounded at the battle of Shiloh,a can
lister shot passing through his body
This slightly disabled him for time,
but he soon tried another branch Of
the service, this time joining Compl
ny l of the Seventh Tennessee Caval-
ry, to which he belonged at the end
of the war. He was noted as the
fighting man Of the reg
iment. He fought because he
loved it and had been trained to
to it. He would rather fight than eat
any time. Yet he was, when acting
under orders, perfect automaton; on
the charge or under fire in line Of bat
tie he was as cool as when smoking
his pipe around the camp fire. The
war being over he settled down in
Upton county and adapted himself to
the ways of peace the best he could.
EIe declares he will never go to war
again, but none of his old comrades
take much stock in this assertion, pro-
vidcd he gets a favorable chance. Krobs
is remarkable man and not very
old one at that.
