The State SaengerfeSt,

The State SaengerfeSt.
Special TO the LIGHT.
AUSTIN, April 25.-Yesterday after
noon though oppressively warm did
not prevent crowds from gathering at
the garden, where a varied pro-
gramme of grand choruses and orches-
trail pieces was rendered. Every seat
was sold at 9 a. m. for the evening
concert, opening with all overture of
Mendslssohn's. The grand choruses
were very fine, particularly that of
the "Crown in the Rhine" with
orchestra accompaniment. The Musi-
cal Union, of Austin, comprising gen.
tlemen and number of ladies was a
great feature of the Saengerfest. A
Slight change was made in the pro-
gramme on account of the bass soloist
being i'll and unable to attend, but
the substitutes in which were several
pleasing solos were more than salts
factory. The Dallas Frohsinn came
very near making a fizzle of their
part, but the director explained
that the key had been given too high
owing to misunderstanding and be-
ginning over again they ended better.
The Austin Saengerbund sang very
well, bnt the vocal victory of the even
ing was the rendering of Freay's
"How did Love Gomez" by the Bee
thoven Maennerchor. of San Antonio,
who were rapturously applauded, and
retired covered with glory. The pres
ident of the Saengerbund then
thanked the various societies for the
great pleasure and benefit of contri-
buttons to the great festival and pre-
scented exquisite bouquets. After the
concert the musicians serenaded Gov.
Ross, the president of the fest, and
the directors.

The Newton examination continued
Yesterday with the testimony of Mrs.
C.. Montgomery, who stated that she
looked at her watch that evening and
noticed that it indicated $3.50 p. m. at
which time she was on the Lockhart
porch with Mr.. and Mrs. Newton.
She was looking for Miss Lockhart
and not finding her on the gallery
went to her room. AS she entered the
room heard the telephone ring at DR..
Cupples' residence adjoining, and re-
marked at the time: "If L was
doctor would not have a telephone
In the house, for it would keep me an
noyed all the time" The distance
between where she was when the bell
rang and the telephone she estimated
at twenty-five or thirty feet. But suf-
ficient time had elapsed to permit her
to walk from the gallery, where she
had seen Mr.. and Mrs. Newton, to
Mrs. Lockhart's room. She did not
see Mr.. Newton again that night. She
thought her watch kept correct time.
She had not talked of the matter with
Mrs. Gregory, and had not seen her
since the arrest of Mr.. Newton.

several little tiffs between the district
attorney and the witness. At one
time she asked if he thought she
would tell an untruth about the time
and at another, the district attorney
assured her he did not intend to
worry her, to which she replied that
it had seemed to her that had been
his intention. The cross-examlnation
though very searching one in which
the examiner used every means to
cause contradiction of the direct tes-
timony failed in the main purpose.
The defence here rested and Joseph
Muir, Jr., cashier of the Lockwood
bank, was called as an expert on
writing to rebuff the testimony of Pow
ell, and his testimony contradicted
the opinion offered by Powell, as to
the identity of the prisoners writing.
A passage of arms between the at
torney for the court and Judge Evans
seemed to irritate the Justice, who
declared that he was getting tired of
the Interruptions of the prisoners

pm.

In addition to the numberless other ill-effccts
of the heavy rains this season, note must be
made Of the many railway detentions and
casualties, the worst of which. thus far, oc-
Cured yesterday on tho Norfolk and Western
road. The full damage done cannot be stated
positively now on account of the struggle made
by the railway managers to conceal the facts
from the public. The loss of life was doubt
kss, however, considerable, running up into
the dozens. After the experience of this year.
there viii be marked falling off in popular
travel by rail on days Immediately succeeding
rain-storms. The sort of weather which used
to be considered an agreeable preliminary
because it could be trusted to lay the dust, is
now dreaded as the precursor and cause of
distinct dangers.

The public awaits with curiosity the pro-
ceedings before the referee whose appointment
has been secured by Bourke Cochran in behalf
of murderer Kemmler to take evidence upon
the question whether execution by electricity
will be a cruel and unusual punishment. Mr..
Cochran is convinced that electricity will tor
ture the condemned man, but not that it will
kill him. He says thar 'the only knowledge
the commission had of the effect Of the cleo
upon dogs and other four footed beasts There is
not germ Of information in the report show
ing the degree necessary to destroy human life.
We find the state Of New York condemning a
man to death by a method that has never been
tested upon human beings" As Mr.. Cochran
is dissatisfied with the evidence furnished by
experiments upon dogs, and az he has now
obtained the opportunity of submitting evil
dence that electricity is not effective as a means
of killing human beings, it may possibly
be expected that he will make the only
satisfactory showing of the harmlessness of
electricity by applying in the presence of the
referee a current Of thousand volts or so to
his witnesses. Since Mr.. Cochran rules out
from consideration the information furnished
by accidental applications of strong currents of
electricity to human beings, as well as by tests
upon brutes, evidently nothing less than the
deliberate killing of a man by electricity in the
presence of the referee will be received by him
as evidence having tendency to prove the
death-dealing powers of electricity.

Excessive rainfall has renewed the food ex-
periences on a small scale in the Pennsylvania
avenue basin. The water does not come from
the river, and the warning given is to the effect
that the sewerage or drainage system of the
city Is faulty. Either the drainage pipes of
this low section are not sufficiently large or are
not sufficiently numerous or have not sufficient
fall to carry of rapidly large quantities of
water, or else the pipes are choked by accumu-
lations in places and fail in capacity on this ac-
count. Either a cleaning or an extension of
the sewerage system. and perhaps both, seem
to be required 1t is evident that the removal
OF the Long bridge, the raising of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and the building of a sea-wall to
protect the city against the Potomac will not
insure the absence of floods without changes in
the drainage system of the Pennsylvania
avenue basin.

At the game of bluff the Milligan plate print
ing companyis willing, it seems, to risk a
hundred to the governments one. Congress
adopted roundabout means to force a change
upon the bureau of engraving and printing
from steam-work to hand-work by reducing the
royalty to be paid for the former work to a
nominal and Improbable figure, but the COM
psny indicates willingness to contract at this
figure. The next time our national legislature
passes bill for the benefit of the workingmen
or to improve the character OF their products
it ought to state its meaning in plain terms,
instead of resorting to a crowding-out scheme
which the other party is able to meet and dis
count in a way that makes the whole affair ap-
pear ridiculous.

Dealers in fireworks are complaining, as is
their won't at this season of the year. of the
tyranny of the police regulations. which it is
proposed to enforce tomorrow. But the regu-
lations are wise, and their enforcement can
have only wholesome effect There are other
citizens Of the District whose rights and COM
fort are to be considered quite as much as
those Of the fireworks people, and it would be
poor compensation for the increase of the
local trade in explosives to the extent of few
hundred dollars if we should have big
fire on our hands in a populous section of the
city, where the houses stand close together and
offer convenient material for a sweeping sheet
Of flame. 1t is highly appropriate that Yankee

But there is no reason why the boys, with their

by burning powder and paper brands to leave
the city fair chance for its life in the engage
