II is evident that the referee in the electrical
execution case has no easy task confronting
him. The more testimony there is taken the
more conflicting it becomes, and the more con-
f,ising il must be to the man who is compelled
to sift and analyze and report upon it iudicialy.
The doctors are certainly disagreeing and 1T IS
the referee who must decide, to a certain ex-
tent at least. According to one witness yes
terday the question at issue seems to be ultl-
n,ately question of physiology. This ex2ert
attributes the difference in the " resistance OF
different men to the state of their blood. II
this theory is sustained the proper course to
take with condemned murderer will be to
furnish him with such diet that his blood will
become itch and good conductor OF electricity

vided for him-but such a contingency is too
remote TO be seriously considered.

Mr.. Barrett Of the Barrett and Gleason
Company paid this office a visit last might
to protest against certain severe structure,
that had appeared in the evening paper
which he thought uncalled for. It is true
he admitted, that the company are playing
in hard luck, but their present stranded
condition was due entirely, he claimed, to
the company having been badly banded.
In illustration of this he related several
most idiotic and expensive breaks made by
an agent whom they engaged in Portland
and who, if he had taken a contract to
ruin the company and strand it on the
shores OF time, could not have set about
doing SO in a nor effective way than by.
his management OF the company as adj.
vance agent. No company. however
strong financially, could have stood
the dance this agent led the
company according to Mr.. Barrett's show.
ing. Mt. Barrett denies the allegation that
the company "bas been jumping from town
to town on the baggage OF it's MEMBERS"
They paid their way everywhere until thew
vent to Philipsburg, when they gave orders
the house here, which were honored.

SOC SIXTH RUSSELL


An audience that acked every available

prince OF comedians. Sol Sluith Russell, last

engagement has been unusually great. but
only commensurate with the actors ma

and the players pleased The audience would
faintiy express the enthusiasm to which
they were reused. The par. of Noah Vale
is . higher effort than Russell has yet at
tempted. II Ia u fine pit ee OF character act

quiet impresslveness OF his style. It is
entirely free from borse-play which is q
welcome relief. Mr.. RUSSELL made all the
effective situations tell powerfully last
evening 1t Is easy for him to ~convuIse an
audience; he does it without effort and has,
apparently. only to be natural to paralyz e
people; but to touch the hearts of his
audience aud visibly affect them liz the bits
OF pathos delicately interviewer through
the comedy showed the hand OF a master.
Mr.. Russell is ON the way to become one OF
tie finest character artists OF the Ameri-
can stage and will eventually take his
place alongside OF Jefferson. Raymond,
Wailaek and the men who have left their
impress On the past.
The play itself teens with bright lines
and the company rendered good
and satisfactory support in the many

audience that Mr.. Russell was given q cur
tain call at the close OF the first act, he
responding with q happy speech which,
while it eonvulsed the audience as he so
well knows how, evinced the appreciation
he felt at the heartiness of his reception.
He has made q hit and for the

houses will greet him at the opera
house at every performance. There is only
one night more in which to see "a Poor Re-

MOUNTAIN LIONS IN WY0MING.
A Thrilling Encounter With Four of the
Savage Beasts Near Lusk.

A Thrilling Encounter With Four Of thu
Savage Beasts Near Lusk.
Wild animals are still raising havoc
among stock wners east aud northeast oi
Lusk, Wyo. A writer in the Lusk Herald
says that last Wednesday while he and q
companion we're crossing at the head oil
Vantassell creek they espied four mountain
lions that seemed to be watching a small
group OF horses which we're gra zing toward
them. The boys were not obshrved by tic
lions; SO they got in ambush to watch the
actions OF the hungry brutes. They had
not long to wait before their animosity
was excited.
When the horses. bad grazed within
twenty yards of'the lions, two of the car
niverous brutes made a rush for the horses,
and before one could imagine such, they
were upon the back of q fine sorrel VT
a who was bucking and bawling for life.
She pitched the one that alighted on her
hips loose. but the one that sprang upon
her shoulders aud neck was there to stay.
He threw his front paws about Der throat
and the boys could see great spurts Of
blood squirt from the terrible gashes he
was tearing in her neck. She pitched with
him some $50 yards when she gave a great
bound in the air and irll forward, dead,
with her throat cut from side to side.
The boys rushed up to where the mare
and lion were to see il they could not rope
him. he sat upon his prey flashing bis tail
and tapping his tongue, thirsting for human
gore. His eyes to the boys looked like two
saucers OF fire. and laughingly at them he
four long white tusks that told

A LOCOMOTIVE RECORD BREAKER.

A LOCOMOTIVE RECORD Err
The longest continuous runs ever made
by a locomotive drawing a full train OF
cars have just been accomplished by the
engine A. G. Darwin, built by the Strong
Locomotive works. The runs were made
on the Erie railroad, from Jersey City to
Buffalo and return, a distance of 4a23
miles each way, with a rest Of less than
twelve hours between the runs. The en-
tire distance Of 846 miles was made with
out the slightest mishap. The nature of
the achievement will be better under
stood IL 1t is considered that the average
run made by a locomotive is not much
more than 100 miles, and that it usually
requires four locomotives to do the work
done by this n engine in going from
Jersey City to Buffalo.
The engine, it is claimed, has several
advantages over the ordinary locomotive
which its inventor, Mr.. George s. Strong,
thinks will reyOlutionize the fast express
business all over the country. One of
the original features of the engine is the
introduction Of two fire boxes instead of |
one, which, it is said. gives greater
steam-generating power. and on long
runs allows the cleaning of one box
while the other is still in use. The valve
gear is also different from the old style. |
Double valves are used instead of single
ones. The engine weighs sixty-eight
tons, exclusive Of the tender, which
weighs forty when full of coal.
Soft coal was burned on the entire trip,
but the combustion chamber attached to
the fire boxes did away with the cinders
and SCOT, which are the accomplishments
the ordinary railroad journey when
that kind Of coal is used. Twenty-Five
tons were consumed by the engine,
which is one-third to one-half less than
The total amount burned by the four reg
Mar engines used on this run. The loco
has been built for use on the
,trtison, Topeka & Santa Re railroad,
its ability to make long continu- ,
us runs will receive full scope. /,

Bell Of the foreign service received a com

Germany, recommending the establishment
OF ''sea post Offices" for the distribution
Of German-American mails on ship board.

office, in his communication, thinks these
sea postofices could greatly & facilitate the
American exchange Offices by distributing
mails.from Germany for America and vice
versa during trips on the sea for immediate
from terminal ports.
