True American Pluck.

Alton Angler, of Atlanta, the newly
appointed consul to Rheims, got
through snug fortune while young
man, and applied for a position in a
railroad office. Being told that train
hands only were needed he promptly
accepted employment in that capacity,
and performed every duty, no matter
how humble, with a cheerfulness and
care that resulted in series of premo-
tons that landed him in the position OF
general passenger agent Of the Western
4 Atlantic Railroad.

Between and o'clock this morning, in
the basement Of the state prison in Auburn,
n. Y, William Kemmler was killed under
the law by the use Of electricity. On
March 29, 1859, he murdered his mistress,
Tillie Ziegler, and his death today was the
reparation for his crime. He breakfasted
lightly between and G. Religious services
were held. He made his own toilet. He
was cheerful, cool and without apparent
dread. He entered the death chamber
about half-past six o'clock. He assisted
In preparing himself for death. He was
placed in an ordinary chair by the warden who

brief farewell remarks There were no prayers
In the death room. The man was evidently
devoid Of nervous tension. His voice while
speaking had no tremor. He submitted to the
straps quietly. He directed the adjustment of
the electrodes. He made suggestions to the war
den and finally sat without tremor to await the
stroke. A convulsion marked the application
OF electricity. He was said to be dead in sew
enteen seconds and the current was stopped.
Later, respiration was resumed, the current
was again applied, and in thirteen minutes
from the first stroke he was again declared
dead. The flesh Of the back was burned, also
a spot upon the top of the head. The autopsy
was begun three hours after death and its su-

HOUSE.

The regular order having been demanded by
Mr.. Enloe CTenn.) Mr.. GrOsvenor (Ohio) rose
to question of order. He insisted that it was
the duty Of the Speaker at this time to lay be-
fore the House bills and other matters of pub
lie interest that had accumulated on the
Speakers table. He himself had had on the
table for twenty-one days bill which could be
passed iI one moment. (He referred to the
bill to establish national park on the battle
field Of Chickamauguas
THE ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL
The Speaker stated that the gentleman from
Iowa (Mr. Reed presented conference report,
which, Of course. had preference.
MIR. Reed then presented the conference re-
port on the original package" bill. The re-
port leaves the bill exactly as it passed the Sem
ate and is dissented from by MIR. Oates (Ala },
one OF the conferees.
AGAINST Mr. OATES PROTEST.
Mr.. Reed demanded the previous question
against the protest of Mr.. Oates, who wished
for a longer time for debate than forty min
previous question was ordered-yeas 1O3;
nays, 96 Mr.. Oates (having voted in the affr-
native for that purpose) moved q reconsider
alton. -
The motion to reconsider was laid on the
table-yeas, 107; nays, 95
The forty-minute debate was opened by Mr.
Reed Qowa) with a speech in support OF the
conference report
He said that it was due to him to say that he
had not changed the views expressed by him in
the report of the committee ON judiciary in
favor Of the House bill His view was that
property OF every description brought into
state for sale should be sold in accordance
with The rules of that state. But he became
confident early in the conference that it would
be impossible to secure the passage Of such .
measure.
Therefore, he had yielded his judgment and
agreed to a bill which would remedy an exist
ing evil. He proceeded to argue in support of
the power OF a state to pass prohibitory law and
to seize intoxicating liquors imported
contrary to its laws from a foreign state A
state had right to the service of each of its
citizens, and 1t therefore had the right to pass
laws which would prevent man from making
himself unable to serve his state.
WHY Mr.. OATES OPPOSED IT.
Mr.. Oates (Ala.) announced himself as op-
posed to the Senate bill on account of it's
phraseOlogy and on account of its narrowness.
He believed that Congress ought to
adopt broader legislation on this question than
was proposed by the Senate bill.
There a wide difference between the
constitutional power of the Congress and the
police power of the state. Every article of
commerce was not primarily subject to police
law.
II il were the power of the state would be
sufficient to overturn the constitutional clause
which vested in Congress the power to regu-
late commerce among the states He was in
favor of states rights. but at The same time he
was in favor Of federal rights.
THE REPORT AGREED TO.
At the end Of the debate the House agreed

MIR. Blair professed not to understand what
the Senator from Maryland meant about his

self a high protectionist. And yet tho section
in which he lived felt the hardships Of the
tariff as well as the benefits Of it. The west,
the south and the Atlantic seaboard south Of
New England had a greater interest in pro-
lection than New England had. New England
was becoming able to sell many of her man
ufactures abroad, not by degrading her labor,
not by reducing wages, but by increasing skill
and machinery. The industry Of making iron
implements for human use had been very much
impaired and almost practically destroyed in
New England, and he thought that Mr.. German
was right in his conjecture that that was very
largely due to the operation of the tariffs and
not SO much to the operation of natural causes.
That industry had gone to the wall; but it
might be revived by the removal Of the tariff
on coal and iron. If he were to vote today for
the interests Of the people OF New England
under the metal schedule he should vote to
make ore free. He did not know but that it
was his duty to vote to make both coal and
iron free. He did not know but
that 1t would be his duty to vote more largely
still in the direction of free trade. If he should
vote to keep the tariff as it was on ore and coal
1t would be in the interest Of the west, where
the ore was produced, and not in the interest Of
New England.
MR.. GORMAN AGAIN.
MIR. Gorman resumed the floor and continued
his argument in favor of the reduction of the
duty on Bessemer ore, having, in the course Of
his remarks, colloquies with Mr.. Sherman, Mr..
