KILLING BY ELECTRICITY.
The Kemmler reference still con-
tinues in New York. A great num-
Der of experts have been examined
in regard to the deadly power OF
electricity. Among those examined
a day or two ago, was DR.. Cyrus
Edson, physician in charge of the
health department of New York
city, told of his experiments at Co.
lumbia college, where the dogs were
killed with the alternating current
of the Westinghouse dynamo. He
said they were all killed on the first
shock but one. He thought a force
of 600 to 1000 volts would cause
instantaneous and painless death.
DR.. B. A. Whitehouse, professor of
chemistry and physics in the Uni
versity Of New York, and S. S.
Wheeler, an electrical engineer, tes-
tilted as to the deadly effects OF
electricity. Laverda Adams, OF
Westchester county, \ testified that
on April 10th, last, he was sitting
at the tea-table with his wife, two
sons, three daughters and an uncle,
when a bolt of lightning struck the
house and rendered him uncon-
scious. When he recovered he was
outside in the rain. His daughter,
nine years old, and his uncle, sew
enty-two years, died the following
morning from the effots of the shock.
Mr.. Adams lay for three days in a
halfparalyzed condition. His body
was burned in several places, and
tho clothing that he wore and one
shoe were torn from his body. The
bolt destroyed the house, struck
three trees near by, aud split to

A Minister ON Prohibition.

CHANBERsBURG, Pa, March 19.-The
Daily Spirit publishes a letter from the
Rev. Cyrus Cort. pastor of the Reformed
Church of Green Castle, Ind, one of the
ablest ministers in the southern portion
of that state, in which he clearly defines
his position on the prohibition amend
ment question. He writes:
AS long as | hold my present ortho-
dox views respecting the inspiration and
integrity of Gods word [ must regard
prohibition as unscriptural and wrong in
principle. l could not consistently in
dorse prohibition without multiplying or
perverting many parts and passages ofthe
sacred scriptures and at the same time
running counter to what | consider the
genius OF a free and constitutional gov
eminent. AS a practical measure of
temperance reform prohibition has been
largely a failure and tends to create a
community Of spies. the most abominable
state of society that we can conceive"

.Mayer viii be Boycotted.

CHICAGO, March IA Philadelphia
special says: The English company which
has been supporting Mary Anderson has
been sent out of this city to New York.
There were over fifty in the party and
they left with very angry feelings towards
Marcus Mayer. the assistant manager.
The cause for this lay in the following in
terview which Mayer had with a reporter
Saturday night:
What will become of the company"
What's hat got to do with us2'' he
asked. "You might as well ask me
what becomes of the bill stickers. The
company is nothing. You make me mad
by asking such a question. Surprising
the company were to appear at the opera
house Monday night. Who would go to
see them? Nobody"
You newspaper people consider these
cattle and ignore the star half the time.
That's no proper way. I'm a newspaper
man myself. As a matter of fact, Abbey
will ship the company back to New York
to morrow and will ship those who want
to go back home to England. A good
many, | suppose, will try to catch on in
this country until next season, when Miss
Anderson may engage them"
The. members of the company will pre-
sent their grievances to the dramatic
journals of New York and London and
seek to boycott Mayer.

Slight Wounds.
IN OKLAHOMA.
Firing Out the Boomers.

Topeka, March 19.-The United
States attorney for Kansas has just re-
ceived kilograms for Oklahoma stating
that the boomers at hat point had been
fired upon by regular troops and further
violence is hourly expected. The United
States attorney has wired deputy marshals
near the scene to proceed at once to pre-
vent violence by arresting any one yiolat-
ing the law. The boomers claim that the
troops fred without orders and ask that
they be arrested for assault.
KANSAS CITY, March ia Eimes
special from Oklahoma City reports
everything quiet there this evening.
United States troops are still driving out
the boomers. The only foundation for
this afternoons sensational reports as to
a conflict between soldiers and Indians is
that Lieut.. Carson was knocked down by
a boomer yesterday, the offender being at
once arrested. The Kansas United States
attorney has no jurisdiction over Okla
homa, that territory being in charge of
the United States attorney at Fort Smith,
Ark.

The Roomers Show Fight.

ST. LOUIS, March I9.-The Republic's
special from Wichita says: The Okla
homa boomers having fed to the woods
upon the appearance of Lieut.. Carson
and his body of soldiers, scouts were sent
u to hunt down but with instructions not
to resort to violence. In whet is known
as Crutch county, northeast of Okla
homa station, quite a large number of
boomers had gathered around William
Beck. Among the number were his
daughter, a relative Samuel Anderson and
property had been destroyed in a former
raid and they cherished a bitter luminosity
against the troops. Their hiding place
was discovered by an Indian scout and re-
ported to Lieut. Carson, who sent a de
tachment. As soon as the boomers saw
the troops coming they made prepare
tons to stand their ground and protect
themselves.
When surrounded and called upon to
surrender they began to parley and made
threats which exasperated the soldiers,
who charged the party, but seeing the
boomers armed and having orders TO avoid
a conflict they ~dismounted. By an adroit
movement part of the boomers were re
lieved OF their arms. Anderson and
Adams, however, held out and made des.
perate resistance with their guns. The
former received a terrible blow from the
butt of a revolver and the latter was
/! struck in the mouth. After being dis.
armed the boomers fought with clubs and
stones, but were soon compelled to sur,
render. Several soldiers received slight
wounds, but none serious.
There has been great excitement among
the boomers since the conflict, and while
many have expressed a determination to
make resistance they are seeking safer
hiding places.

Washington Notes.

WASHINGTON, March l9.-The con
tractors for the gunboat Yorktown having
reported her completed, Secretary Tracy
has ordered the board OF which Commo.
dore FItz Hugh is president to re-assem
BILE at Cramps ship yard to morrow for
the purpose of making such futher exami
nations as may be necessary.
At a meeting of the senate committee
on interstate commerce to day arrange
ments were made for pursuing the or
ganIzation OF Canadian transportation
matters ordered by the resolution of the
senate Aug. 3, 1888. 1t was determined
to meet in New York May Is. Probably
before the summer is over the committee
will go over the entire length of the
Canadian Pacific road.

Of the Union and Central Pacific railroads
beginning April 6.
The president to-day withdrew from the
senate the nomination of Eugene Schuy-
Ter to be assistant secretary of state, which
was made or the 18th inst. 1t is learned
the committee on foreign relations after
consideration of the case asked that the
nomination be withdrawn, coupling the
request, it is understood, with the intima-
ton that otherwise 1t would be reported
adversely. This action was taken on
account of an assault made by Schuyler in
his book entitled American Diplomacy
Upon Elihu b. Washburn rejecting upon
his official conduct while secretary of state,
together with a reflection upon the ad
minIstration of President Grant and the
senate, and also, il is said, on account of
charges affecting Schuyler's personal con-
duct in Europe.

cal with that adopted by the inaugural
committee, have been made as souvenirs

sented to President Harrison, Vice Presi-

A RUNAWAY MATCH.
Marriage of Chief Justice Full.
ler's Daughter.
Her Parents Objected, but Could
Not Prevent.
The Bride a Handsome Young
Lady of 10 Years.
An Elopement.

CHICAGO, March IA DAILY Neuos
Milwaukee special says: Miss Pauline
Fuller, fifth daughter of Chief Justice
Fuller, was married here tonight at the
Kirby house by a justice of the peace.
The groom was j. Matt Aubrey, jr., OF
Chicago and it was a runaway match.
When the st. Paul train arrived this even
ing a petite woman was helped off the
steps of a parlor car by a well knit young
man with a smooth face. The lady was
closely yelled and was escorted to a car
rage by her companion. They were
driven at once to the Kirby house where
they registered. No room was assigned
to them and the lady and her companion
spen. the early part of the evening in the
hotel parlors.
About 9 O'Clock the young man came
down stairs and informed the clerk that he
wanted a Justice of the peace. Clerk Cole
is well up on such affairs, so he winked
knowingly and assured the young man
everything would be arranged. Inside of
fifteen minutes Justice Gregory arrived.
There vas a hurried consultation and the
young man brought the blushing young
lady forward. The ceremony was a brief
one, and the Justice, who is a very prosaic
gentleman, put on no extra frills. He
did not know the bride was the daughter
OF the chief Justice of the United States
and neither did any of those present out
side of the contracting parties. When
the ceremony was concluded the old JUS
tice called for witnesses and young men
were captured in the billiard room and ran
TO afhx their signatures to the necess airy
documents.
When they were legally and firmly
spliced the justice coughed dryly. the
young man slipped a bill into his hand
and Mr.. and Mrs. Aubrey were escorted
to the bridal chamber.
Mrs. Aubrey, nee Pauline Fuller, is 10
years of age, highly educated and a re-
markably handsome woman. j. Matt
Aubrey is 25 years of age. He is a son of
the general western agent of the Mer-
chants Dispatch fast freight line. J.. Nj.
Aubrey has been a resident of Chicago
since 1876. when he left Milwaukee.
Young Aubrey is employed in his fathers
office in Chicago. He is a handsome
young fellow.
As near as can be learned the ~acquain-
lance of the bride and groom began about
three months ago. An attachment sprang
up between them and when it became APP
parent it was opposed by the Fullers.
About the first OF last January Mrs.
Aubrey informed her mother that she
was 10 years of age and that she intended
to make a trip to Chicago. Mrs. Fuller
opposed the trip but the girl was firm in
her determination and a few days later
she left. Since that time she has been in
Chicago visiting friends of the family.

The CattIemen,s Fences DESTROYED.

GENDA SPRINGS, Kas., March 49,
Sunday morning cattlemen along the
border for a great distance on the Chero-
kee strip awakened to find their fences all
destroyed. Sunday night the work OF
destruction was renewed and it is thought
the stables, corrals and other property will
go next 1t is thought this is done In
retaliation for driving out the boomers
from the Creek and Seminole coded lands.
The people there and at Arkansas City
are quiet and seem determined to stand
loyalty by the law and the presidential
orders. They feel. however, that if the
law abiding people are kept out all others
should be, so that all may have an equal
chance in the selection OF lands.

SAN Francisco, March ia glove
contest between Jimmie Carol, formerly
of Boston. and Sam Blakelock of Eng
land. took place tonight in the rooms OF
the California Athletic club. The men
weighed 1873 pounds each. Blakelock
was knocked out by Carol in the fifteenth
round.
The fight was witnessed by 500 people
and was one of the pluckiest fights seen
on the Pacific coast. Both men were
scienced. but Carol was too strong Tor the
plucky Euglishman. The betting was
slightly in favor OF Blakelock. The fight
commenced at 9:45. For the first few
rounds Blakelock had the best of it. In
the fifth Carol drew first blood. Honors
were then even until the tenth, when Car
rol did some heavy rushing and knocked
Blakelock down, only the call of time
saving him from a knock out.
From that on the fighting was furious,
Blakecock standing up and giving and
taking heavy punishment.
In the twelfth round Blakecock came
up fresh, but Carol was bent on finish
ing the fight and rushed him around the
ring, getting in some heavy blows.
In the thirteenth Blakelock was groggy,
but still placky. Carol got in some vici-
Gus uppercuts but could not knock the lit
tie man out.
In the fourteenth Blakelock was still
full of fight and got in some good stabs
with his left. But Carol was to strong
and waiting for a chance to give a knock
out blow. 1t came in the fifteenth round,
when Carol sent in blow after blow,
finally delivering a terrible left handler un-
der Blakelock s ear, knocking linn sense
less and winning the fight.

in getting copper off the wrecked Confed-
