HANGING MEN BY CONTRACT.
A Company Organized to Execute
Condemned Criminals.
From The NelU York World,

From the NetD York World.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 10.-Capital is
seeking new channels for investment. Arti
cles of Incorporation were filed with the
secretary of state this afternoon creating
the great American Execution Company OF
the United States. 1t is organized under
the general corporation act of Illinois and
announces its paid-up capital at S25, 900.
Its declared purpose is Ito execute persons
who are sentenced to dea6l." Toe inco :
porators are Stephen Lawson, M. E. Clear
and Jacob A. E. Iffert, all of Chi
cago. Lawson and Clear were in
partnership in that city in the retail
coal business until year ago and the firm
not in any business at present, but thinks
there is an honest dollar to tie made in the
hanging business. The company intends to
establish agencies in each state capital, and
will conduct general retail and wholesale
execution business ar fixed schedule rates.
1t will employ only the expert hangmen, at
a fixed yearly salary, and will make con-
tracts with the sherltfs of counties il states
where condemned murderers are executed
by the county officials. In states like Ohio,
(and in the future, New York; where the
executions must occur only at legally
prescri ed places, the arrangements will
be made with the wardens of the peniten-
tiaries.
talked with the chief of police about
the matter, and he declared most emphati-
cally that heidi III believe the Cook county
officials would employ any such execution
ers. Each sheriff, when his successor was
selected, confided as precious secret the
name and identity of tho professional hang
man. 1t would never do to employ Tom,
Dick or Harry to swing convicted crimi-
mails into eternity.
NJ E. Clear was found at his office, on the
river front. He is neat, bustling man. of
about medium size, and spoke with perfect
frankneSs on the subject. Yes, it is true, y
he said, "that few Of us have organized a
company TO conduct private executions
throughout the country. We have put up
our money, aud are already in correspond
ence with many sheriffs and expert hang
men throughout the country"
DIVIDE NO DIVIDENDS ON DEATH.
"What do you expect your dividends to
be?n
II am glad you asked that question:" was
the quick rejoinder," because it shows that
our motives are completely misunderstood.
We do not intend to earn any dividends.
If we can simply maintain the integrity of
our capital we shall be satisfied, aud shall
gladly charge off to the loss account the in
terest thereon. No, our motives are purely
philanthropic. 10 do good is our religion
You see, it's like this: We are all believers
in capital punishment. We read oul Bible
carefully and believe that whose sheddeth
mans blood by man shall his blood be shed

Copyright 1897
NEW YORK, June 15.-"Can railroad
travel ever be made entirely safe!" asked
of the Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew. And if
so, in what line of development wilt the
improvements comet For instance, will
there ever be a car made that won't roll
down an embankment?'
"No," said the great man, pleasantly, ito
answer the last question first, there can be
no such thing. As to the others-the sys-
tenn of passenger transportation is not of
course perfect, for it is of human devising,
and human handiwork, and no human work
can ever be perfect. We can approach
perfection, however, by continual improve
Inents, and we are, to say the least, very
much nearer perfection now than we used
to be-"
"The dangers to be guarded against in
operating railroads" he continued, ARE of
three kinds. They are collisions, derailment
and fire. In regard to fire, we believe that
we are doing away with that peril entirely,
