EXECUTE BY ELECTRICITY.
The Latest Plan to be Called for in BIZ
by Senator Rannels.
CincInns9 r .o1Irer

Cincinnati quirer.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Fec. Ex-senator
R:nnells introduced by name this after
noon bill which will be of much interest
to the felOn class, as in case Of capital
punishment 1t will make much more
pleasant and digni6ed their manner of
going off; fact which will undoubtedly
give great relief to persons contemplat-
log the commission of murder in the first
degree. The bill was in advance sent
to the printer in order that ell the
newspaper correspondents may hrve
printed copies Of it tomorrow, but
sn outline can be given tonight. The
bill, which is as long ss the moral law,
materially changes all existing Statutes
in regard to executions, and places that
called relic of bSrbsrism, the death
penalty, upon thoroughly respectable
and scientific nineteenth century basis.
1t stops hanging altogether, and provides
that the sentence Of death shall be car
ried out through the instrumentslitY OF
some electrical apparatus. Senator Ran
nells did not take q course in electrical
eDgineering at polytechnic institute, so
he does not make any provisions as to
the exact makeup Of the machine. ALI
he wants is that it shall be run
by electricity. TIE executions are
to be very exclusive. In order to ssve
the tender feelings of the dear public, 1t
will not be permitted to know when the
affair comes Of, for the Judge will FIX only
the week in which the execution is to
take place, and the warden will, accord
ing to his own convenience, and IN entire
secrecy, decide upon the exact dSte. The
pvpcuti0nq ara m he az now in the Oani-
Tertiary, and must be attended to by the
warden or his deputies. After the execu-
ton the body viii be turned over to the
medical college for dissection or de-
stroyed by quicklime.

The project of an Indo-Europe:n canal,
by wsy Of the Euphrates valley and the
Persian gulf, will, it is claimed, realize
two important results, namely, those OF
irrigation and navigation, and thus re-
store fertility to those vast wastes. Such
q canal would shorten the present route
o. going and coming to Bombay some six
days. Scientific authorities do not con-
slider the engineering difficulties involved
in such an undertaking Of an insuperable
Understanding which would seriously
resist the efficiency Of modern appliances
but the estimated expense is enormous.

az hate mstinees," said an actress to
me yesterday at the close OF a perform
ance, as she walked into the lobby.
"And why particularly"
81 hate them for a lot of reasons
You'd find it very hard TO put your hand
on the man or woman IN the profession
to-day who doesn't hate matinees. Ev-
erybody hStes them and I'm ashamed TO
s2y II it wasn't for pack of women we
shouldn't have to give m.tinees st all"
"But why do You hate matinees?"
"Firstly, because regard one perform
snce q good days work, and So much as
any conscientious actor ought TO do.
Secondly, because the daylight struggles
into the theater and gets up fight with
the gas almost every time-and I'd like
to see the woman who looks we'll under
daylight and gsslight mixed.
Thirdly and chiefly, hate m2tinees,
because st them the audience IS almost
always cold, chilly thing, caary Of its
applause and scattered all over the house
like flock of dumb geese. The reason
for the meagreness OF applause 81
wsys to be noted ct mAtinees is
that the audience Is usually nine-tenths
women. Nature has built women for ex-
fraysgsnt manifestations of delight in
America; and the makers Of gowns and
applied machinery in dress have decided
that what little disposition the American
woman has for applauding shall be
thwarted by innumerable and complicated
devices. You cSn't expect woman to
crack her gloves or bring about an attack
OF heart disease to crafty an sctress, csn
you? That's what's she'd do at the very
least, the average tsilor-made woman, If
she clapped her hands and cried 'brayop
simultaneously"

A REMARKABLE STATEMENT.
snecial to the Gazetis.

GAINESVILLE, TEX, March 9.-The
news Of W. L. Beason's death was
brought here by THE GAZETTE Of yester-
dsy. There wss more or less anxiety
among Gainesville people from the time
of his arrest to the death of the accused.
Perhaps not one in q hundred of our peo-
pie now believe that BeAson was the
author Of the terrible tragedy Of July l3
last, though the first dispatches caused
perhaps q momentsry doubt in some
minds. The officers of this city who have
been well informed of the peculiar nys-
teries of that horrible deed have never for
moment believed BeSson the guilty
man. They know more about that horror
than officials living st distance, and they
have never devoted any time looking after
transient criminals in order to fix the
guilt of the Gainesville tragedy upon any
of them. They have become thoroughly
satisfied that the evll-doer will never be
found by foreign search If found at all.
Both the city and county officers have
reoeiYed several letters from parties in
d ferent parts of the country acknowl-
edging the crime, and Beason, it is said,
ts the sixth man who has been arrested
and made s confession of the tragedy,
claiming to be the perpetrator.
