THOMAS a. EDISON writes to the
New York Death Commission that dy-
namo electric machinery which en-
ploys intermittent currents would be
the most suitable apparatus for the
infiiction of capital punishment. The
passage of the current from these ma
chimes through the body, even by the
slightest contact, causes instant death.
The Commission recommended that q
chair with head and foot rest
should be used in which the condemned
man could be seated in q half reclining
position. One wire could be connected
with the head-rest and the other with
the foct-rest which would be metal
plate. The electric current should be
supplied BY electric wires The Com
mission recommended that the date of

that the criminal may not know what

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.
Hargrave Confesses-SwinneyS Sticks to His
Trn

Innocence.
LIBERTY, Mo-, JAN 21-Safely confined
in cells OF the Clay County Jail are ].
Barney Swlnney and John Hirgrave the
two men who attempted to rob the
express train on the Wabash Western
Wednesday night near Missouri City. Har-
grave talked freely to Sheriff Oscar Thom-
ason He said he was led into the business
by Swinney, the matter being first sug-
gested to him while chopplng wood for
Swinney's father. He did not take readily
to the idea, but after Barney's plans were
presented, with the assurance that they
could easily carry them into execution, he
decided to join the band, Noah Drew, the
confederate, who betrayed his companions,
having also consented to become men,
ber. William Harrison, the man who was
taken from his home several weeks ago
and horribly whipped by seven unknown
men, also agreed to help do the job, but
when the time arrived weakened and
backed out. The gang as at first organized
consisted of Swlnney as leader and Harri-
son, Drew and himself.
Harrison admitted to the sheriff yester-
day that he was aware that some plans
were being formed, but he had no intention
of taking part. Sheriff Thomason tried to
get Swinney and Hargrave to go to phot-
ograph gallery to-day and get their pict-
ures taken, but Swlnney declared he
would not do SO and the officer did not feel
that he would be justified in forcing him.
Swinney continues to claim that he was
not connected with the attempted robbery,
but was only going home from neighbours
and was in that way accidentally shot
He also appears ashamed of Hargrave, as
he says he would not go into any job with
such fellow. The preliminary trial will
be held next Wednesday at Missouri City.

Seeing inside of a Boiler.

At last years London Exposition Of
inventions there was a working steam
boiler, the interior of which was IL
Illuminated by electricity. The whole
apparatus used for this purpose con-
sists of a little battery outside of the
boiler, which is connected with incan-
descent lights, screwed to the interior
walls of the steam space above the
water level, and encased in steam
tight bulbs, while second wire ends
in leadi.n@s1Sutton outside of the
VssAsaf Strong double observing
glasses are let into brass rim set into
the end of the wall of the boiler. If the
current is closed by pressing the but
ton against the metallic boiler-wall,
then the incandescent lamps begin to
glow and light the interior OF the boiler.
1t is hoped by this means of observing
the process Of heating water, and the
production and withdrawal of steam,
to gain material knowledge and advan-
tages for steam using. This arrange-
ment may prove important for other
processes also, for instance, in sugar.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Jan. 2L-Informa-
tion reached here to-day of another out
break in the Hatfield -McCoy troubles.
Simon Mccoy, brother of the one whose
family was murdered few days ago, lives
in Wyoming County. The Hatfield gang
made raid on his home and overpowered
him and took Mrs. Mccoy and her son. a
mere boy, out to the woods. The woman
was fastened to tree by a member Of the
party, the remainder staying at the Mccoy
house to prevent the escape of the
others. After firing at their human target
for time the leader grew tired Of mere
sport, and gave the order for her to be
killed. All the rifles were raised at once,
and the poor woman's body was riddled
with bullets. The boy who was taken out
with her was also dispatched in summary
manner. By this time the other party
had surrounded the Mccoy house,
having, in the meantime, placed
various kinds of combustible material
around it. 1t was concluded to fire the
building and give Mccoy a chance for his
life, if he could run the gauntlet OF their
bullets. They expected he would leave the
house as soon as it began to burn. In this
they were disappointed. As soon as the
flames shot up Mccoy poked his head out
of an upstairs window and begged for his
life. He was answered with a volley of
bullets and made no attempt to escape, but
perished in the flames. The house was to-
tally destroyed, and in the ruins was found
his charred body.
