The Kemmler Electrical COmmiS-
 sion.

New York, July 15.-At the Kemmler conference this morning a telegram was received from FL dridge T. Gray saying that he would be on hand Wednesday morning 10 testify. This will, therefore, pre- vent Matthew c. Hale from being called. David L. Gibbons, one of the Electrician Commissioners, was the first witness called. His testi- mony was against the use of elec- tricity for capital punishment.
 John w. Noble, an electrician, who for some years has been con- nected with the Westinghouse Com pany, testified to the experiments conducted by a former witness, Brown, upon dogs at Edison's work shops. He described their sufferings as something terrible to look at, and emphatically said that the ami malls were not killed outright, but suffered lingering death.
 Alex. McAdee, who described himself as an expert on atmospher ical' electricity, said that he doubt ed if the machine proposed to be used by the State would kill a man. Science had not as yet demonstrat- ed the fact that a current can with any certainty be driven through the vital part ot mans anatomy. Con- tinuing, he said that assuming the man was not killed, the effect would be a slow carbonizing of the vic tim.

Queen ViCtOria'S Interest in Fun
 erals.

hear that the Queen has recent ly been concerning herself with the arrangement of royal funerals, and that her Majesty has caused a long memorandum on the subject to be drawn up, with a variety of new orders which extend to the most minute details. In future the body of defunct male member of the royal family is to be placed in the coffin in an attire of quite different material to that worn by deceased female, and married people are not to be treated the same as the unmarried. The Queens solicitude extends even to the making of the collins, and there are copious di- rections concerning them. Embalm- ing is absolutely prohibited.-Lon- don Truth.

An Army of Young Indians.

The train from the north this morning brought in the sixty-three young Indians, nearly half of whom were girls, on their way to their homes in New Mexico and Ari- zona, from Carlisle, Pennsyl- vania, where they have been at tending the famous Indian school for the past five years. Forty-six of them were from the Laguna vil- lage on the A. & P road in this Territory, twelve from the San Domingo pueblo, below Wallace, three or four from Taos county, and eight from the Apache reservation in Arizona They were a sprightly and joyous set of school children, acting and talking about like white children of the same age and the same circumstances would do, and during their five years schooling in the east they have made extraordi- nary progress along the line from savagery to civilization. They were accompanied by Misses Porter and Elliott, two philanthropic ladies who will accompany the young red skins to their respective homes.- Optic, Las Vegas, N. NJ.

How it Works.

q was out through Kansas selling reapers this spring." said a drum mer on the Michign Central the oth- CT day, ''and saw some remarkable workings of the prohibitory law. I stopped up..in Saline County at an old farmers overnight. In the morn ing as came down stairs I felt rath- CT drOwsy and said to the old mans sons, young men of p or 30, 'Gra- cious, boys, but an eye-opener would taste good
 Hush whispered one of tl e boys, come this way, but don't let the old man see us. He's awful set on prohibition an would drive us off the farm if he suspected any- thing
 "I followed and was led to the hay-mow, where jug of the old stuff was produced. An hour after ward, having sold the gentleman machine, l thoughtlessly remarked "A little of the right material to take the dust out of our throats wouldn't go bad
 'HushP ? said he; come with me, but don't let the boys see us. They are dreadful sot on prohibit tion, an I don't want ter offend 'em ?
 "He led me to the dark corner of the cellar where his jug was pro- duced.

The Indians and Earthquakes.

The Indians hereabout are very badly frightened over the recent shakeups, and fear that this DOT ton of California will be engulfed. There is an old Indian in Willow Creek valley, who has seen the snows of ninety-odd winters, and who declares that he can remember when mountain near Frank Fleu- rvs place on Willow creek, sank and water surged up covering the whole country, and that the water again subsided and the mountain rose once more. There is tradi- ton among the Indians that such a thing has occurred many times, but this old fellow declares that he can remember such an occurrence. We are in the very midst of a volcanic region, in fact all this portion of the country is of volcanic origin, and the frequent and severe shocks certainly indicate renewed activi- ty somewhere e.-Susanville Advo- cate

A Sensational Story.

Atlanta, July 17.-A month has passed since John Pickett expiated his crime of murder on the gallows. Memory {, f the event has b. el le- awakened in a remarkable manner. A report comes from Sumter county that Pickett is still alive and in that | octiOn of the State. After the hanging the body was taken in charge by friends, who worked suc- cessfully at resuscitation. If Pick cit is still alive and apprehended it is question whether he can be further punished, having been de- clared legally dead. The case will be one unparalleled in the history the State.

J. L. Hat way of Boston, and his syndi- cate have engaged all room on the steamers on the Warren line from Boston, for July, August anl and September, and Meyer Getsmith of New York, has gagged the same line of steamers for October The reason for this heavy export is the low price here and the shortage of European cattle, and consequent high prices there" t"

It was 72 feet high and 100 feet long, and formed lake that held 480,000,000 cubic feet of water, 3,60O,OO0,6O0 gallons It has been spoken of as the largest artificial lake in the United States. but it was exceeded in size by the reservoirs formed by the following dams:
 Croton dam, in New York-4334 feet long, 2S4 feet being of masonry and the remainder. of earth. The height is about 40 feet. The foun- dation of the dam consists of two lines of stone-filled cribs, with ten feet of concrete between them. The down stream face is curved and faced with granite. A small crib dam, 300 feet below, forms basin, which serves as a cushion to break the fall of the water. The back of the dam is filled with earth. I'm pou:ds 5,OO0,OOO,0OO gallons.

An Tn Han Horse Race.

AOAAA oAA oA AAOiN NAite~AA AAh'A NA lustrated by Frederic Remington ir the July Century, we quote the fol lowing: An elderly Indian of fgreat dignity of presence steps into the ring, and with a graceful movement throws his long red blanket to the ground and drops on his knees be fore it, to receive the wagers of such as desire to make them Men walk up and throw in silver dollars and every sort of personal property imaginable. A Winchester rife and large nickelplated Colts revolver were laid on the grass near me by a cowboy and an Indian, and then each goes away. It was a wager, and 1 thought they might well have confidence in their stakeholder mother earth. Two ponies, tied head and head and were turned aside and left horse against horse. No excite ment seemed to prevail. Near me d little half Mexican Comanche boy began to disrobe until he stood clad only in his shirt and beechcloth. His father addressed some whisper cd admonition and then led up a roan pony, prancirg with impa- tience and evidently fully conscious of the work cut out for him that day. With a bound the little fel- low landed on the neck ot the pony only halfway up; but his toes caught on the upper muscles of the pony's leg, and like monkey he clambered up and was in his seat. The pony was as bare as a wild horse, except for the bridle, and loped away with his graceful little rider sitting like a rock. No not like a rock, but limp and uncon- cerned, and as full of the motion of the horse as the horses tail or any other part of him.
 "A Kiowa, with long hair and great coarse face broken away from the group and galloped up the prairie until he stepped at what was to be the starting point, at the usual distance of two arrow flights and pitch He was followed by half dozen ponies at an easy lope, bearing their half naked jockeys. The Indian spectators sat about on their ponies as unmOved in coun- tenance as oysters, being natural gamblers, and stoical as such should be, while the cowboys whispered among themselves.
 "'That's the bay stallion there, said one man 10 me, as he pointed to a racer, and he's never been beaten. It's his wall-ovcr, and I've got my gun mp on him with an In jun
 "It was to be a flying start, and they jockeyed a good deal and could not seem to get off. But presently a puff of smoke came away at a nameless rate, for the quarteI-race pony is quick of stride. Nearer and nearer they came, the riders lying low on their horses necks, whipping and ky-yi-yi-ing. The dust in their wake swept back ward and upward, and with a rush they came over the scratch. with the roan pony ahead, and my little Mexican fellow holding his quirt aloft, and his little eyes snapping with the nervous excitement of the great event. He had beaten the invincible bay stallion, the pride of this Comanche tribe and as he rode back to his father his face had the settled calm which nothing could penetrate, and which befitted his dignity as young runner"
