The Court of Appeals has overthrow the
last hope with which Jealous attorneys may
have succeeded in disturbing the tranquility
of Kommlcr the murderer. 1t Is not certain
that he had any hope at all, or was even aware
that the result of final effort 70 save him
was about 70 be announced. The lawyers who,
from motives which they have never seen tit
70 explain, have delayed his execution month
after month, may not have thought 1t hcces-
sarv to consult their protcGc. kemmler II VIII
he remembered, had never even heard OF Mr.
Roger W. Sherman until that gentleman sent
Warden Durston to his cell with papers - be
signed. Il is lust possible, according to the
orv advanced a few weeks ago when the SUI
nreme Court at Washington upheld the con-
stitutionaIity of the New York law that kcnm-
lcr's execution NAV be delayed until late next
fall. though his fate has now been urcN ocabIy
scaled.
At that time an Associated Press dispatch
evidently prepared by a lawyer, made the point
that. inaSmuch as it was a writ OF error IRON
the New-York Court of Appeals which the SUI
prcmc Court denied it is still possible to take
an appeal TO that tribunal from Judge Wal
laco's subsequent order refusing writ OF
haheaS corpus. Precisely ll' same Hu''''''''
would come before the Supreme Court, II that
were done, and of course they would be de-
cded in tho same way. If such technical
possibility exists, therefore, the only advan-
tage to he derived from il is another delay OF
three months, the court having adjourned until
October Moreover any lawyer who should
connect himself with such proceeding would
be subjected to stern judicial censurc ana
universal popular contempt, and we do not
expect to see the attempt made.
The new law Of execution having, therefore
been upheld in all its parts at great expense OF
time, labor and money, and at no small Sacri-
flee of public dignity, it is to be hoped that the
miserable creature in whose name this long
scandal has been enacted may be permitted u
vanish from the eyes and thoughts of the world
at the earliest possible moment. The mcchan-
zeal appliances at Auburn can be- readjrstcd IN
few moments, and we cannot conceive OF an!
excuse for the postponemcnt until August or
later. at which the dispatches hint. The au-
tbority of the State has finally been established.

Great interest will attend the trial OF the
cruiser Philadelphia, which is set for to-day
but which will not take place unless all the
conditions are favorable for the contractors.
They are to have every possible opportunity
TO show the vessel at its best. Much depends
upon the result, for every quarter-knot that
the Philadelphia makes over 10 knots per hour
during the four hours of the trial means
$4,000 in the builders pockets. The trial
board is so constituted as to give assurance OF
a perfectly fair test of the cruisers powers.

WHY &C. not some better method Of lighting
elevated cars and strectcars put in use Is II
merely a question OF the cost? On some Of the
railroad lines Of the country gas Is used as an
illumnant with pretty satisfactory results, but
the proper agent for this purpose is undoubtedly
elcctricity The experiments which have been
made in this direction show that the electric
light can be used 10 great advantage on railway
trains and there seems to be no convincing reason
why this system should not be applied To elevated
and surface cars in cities. great many travel
lcrs desire to read while going from their Offices
to their homes, in spite of the warnings of the
oculiss, and the owners of the means OF trans
portation should feel in duty bound 10 furnish
light enough for the purpose. Another advantage
in adopting an improved system would he thu

The Board of Trade inquiry regarding the
City of Paris accident is concluded with
verdict in every way complimentary to the
vessel. its builders and its owners, as well as
70 the officers and crew. The court holds that
the safety of the passengers was not sacrIhced
TO speed, and that the steamship "proved her
self TO be one of the finest and safest vessis
in the mercantile marine" The mishap 30 the
City of Paris was assuredly severe test of
her strength and scaworthncss. No ordinary
ship could have withstood such a strain. 1t
is not believed that like accident will occur
again. but the suggestions made by the court,
without in any way rejecting upon the City
of Paris, are clearly worthy of careful con-
sideration.
The Court of Appeals has rendered unani-

the opinion OF the court is virtually that the

PITTSBURG'S DILEMMA.

The reports from Pittsburg make the
situation very blue for the mills and
furnaces which have been using natural
gas. It is useless to disguise the facts.
There is not enough gas to supply the
present demand let alone any increase.
The gas companies have proven i'm
menscly profitable. and it stands to rea-
son that if they had an incXhaustible
supply to draw upon, they would develop
it to the extent Of the demand.
That they have not done SO is ample
evidence that they can not. Nearly all
the large consumers have got to go back
to coal at once. The situation alarms
pittsburg. She has great wealth and
great energy and her manufacturing SUI
premacy will not be surrendered until
every eXpedicnt is exhausted to main
tain it.
The great ship canal to Lake Eric is
the principal project for the city's relief.
That would be effective beyond ques-
ton. For it would admit the superior
ores ut n figure far below present cost
This section does not rejoice at Pitts
burgs dilemma.
We are strong in our own resources,
but it is easy TO realize that every Gle
ment which adds cost to iron production
in Pennsylvania increases the tendency
of iron manufacturers toward the South
ern mineral belt
