ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera House this evening
Hoyt's farce comedy, "a Brass Monkey"
will be played by one of Hoyt's selected
troupes, with George Marion as leading
man. The company is represented as gen.
orally stronger and better balanced than
that which played this satire on every day
superstitions year or more ago in Sacra-
mento. There is a good deal of unctious
humor and enjoyable drollery in Hoyt's
dramatic work, and it appears to meet
public taste that few other playwrights have
been able to successfully cater to. In this
piece especially, and which has been al
most entirely rewritten, his humor finds
broad field for satiring phase of human
nature which is a weakness in greater or
less degree in nearly every person. Weare
assured that the satireis supplied with new
songs, dances and situations, and that in
both its men and its women it is supplied
with better actors and singers. The Jonah
of Mr.. Marion testifes to comedy ability
in this young man that promises great
deal for him in higher walks of comedy if
he does not. as do so many, lose his head
and overload self-esteem. The young
women of the troupe are nine in number,
and represented as particularly bright,
graceful and competent.
At the Congregational Church this even.
ing Hon. Thomas B. Merry, well-known
Pacific coast journalist, who was United
States Commissioner 20 the Melbourne
Centennial Exhibition, will lecture on
The Great South Continent" He is
man of keen observation, ard in the two
extended seasons he has spent in Australia
he has thoroughly and critically studied
that interesting country, and especially the
British penal colony system. During the
evening Mr.. Merry will recite Lindsay
Gordon's' magnificent poem, The Dying
Stockrider" Mr.. Merry is a man of
| brilliant wit, broad humor and native elo-
quence. He delivered the lecture now an
nounced in Stockton on Tuesday night, and
the Stockton Republican. in addition to
| giving an interesting synopsis OF it, said
The discourse was at all times refined
and instructive and was full of valuable
information, and the absentees missed
| something that was always instructive and
very eloquent. His description of night
in a forest of the Australian Alps was
! glowing piece of word painting. There
are but few lecturers who can surpass him
in the use of vigorous English. His reci-
tatiOn OF The Dying Stockrider drew forth
an enthusiastic response from his audi
ence." 1t is not probable that in any other
so brief form will people be able TO gain
so clear an insight into life in Australia as
by listening to Mr.. Merry's account of this
| land of romance, wondrous wealth, ex-
IRENE poverty and marvellous extTaya-
gance.

soldiers had been hedged in. His escape
is partially due to the storming of the bar

Bismarck Angry.

BERLIN, November 13th.-The brief ref
erence made by the newspapers TO the
quarrel between Emperor William and
Bismarck afford no adequate idea Of the
breach which has existed for two whole
weeks and has caused the most painful ex-
element in official and literary circles.
Prince Bismarck declares that he will not
be dictated TO by the young Emperor as to
his publication of his life of William l.,
nor will he submit the proof sheets to the
Emperor The latter, in the exercise OF
his just right, as he considers the matter,
requires to see the book before publica-
ton, as it contains matters of importance
to the State.
Bismarck threatens to remove the publi-
cation to England if necessary to eyade the
power of the Emperor. If be should Go
so the book will be confscated through all

SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.

H
AUBURN, n. Y, April 19.-Notwith-
standing Murderer Kemmler's extravagant
promises of reformation in case Governor
Hill should pardon him, there is no hope
for him. The case has made the tour of the
courts of the State, and he must die by
electricity some day in the week beginning
April 2S. The particular day will be fixed
by the agent and warden of Auburn prison,
Hon. Charles f. Durston.
kemmler was sentenced bv Judge Henry
A. Childs at Buffalo on May IA last, and
since then everything possible has been done
to save him. The electrical apparatus at
the prison is all ready for the execution. 1t
was purchased and set up in the prison un-
der the direction of Harold P. Brown, of
New York, an electrical. expert employed
by the State to do this work. The apparatus
was tested several months ago W hen a horse
and calf were put to death with it. In
each case death was instantaneous and the
experts who made the test are confident
that Kemmler will be killed neatly and
that be will suffer very little The test was
made under the direction of DIR. Carlos F.
Macdonald. President OF the State Lunacy
Commission.
THE INSTRUMENTS OF DEATH.
The principal part OF the apparatus, the
machines for the generation OF the current,
were secured 4 good while ago, and have
been laid away waiting for the time to come
to use them. Thev are ordinary Westing-
house dynamos for the generation OF alter
mating currents. On whatever morning
shall be decided upon Kemmler Will be
notified, and whatever opportunity he de.
sires for religious consolation and farewell
words will be given him. These over, Just
before the hour fixed upon for the execution
the officers will enter his cell, and the death
warrant will be read. His shoes will then
be removed, and a pair resembling regular
army brogans will be substituted. In the
sole of these there will have been inserted
q metal plate covering the whole sole, and
connected with wires passing out through
the heels. While one officer is making this
change of shoes, another will fasten
the prisoners hands together in front, and
will place around his body, just beneath the
armpits a stout leather strap, with a buckle
fastening it in 'front.' and snap hooks pro-
1eeting from each side &C the back. An
other officer will place upon the back of the
prisoners head a peculiar close-fttlng cap.
apparently of black rubber, made around a |
small metal piece in the center. Inside OF |
1t, in the center, about the metal piece, will |
be spiral arrangement of copper wire. |
about 5 inches in diameter, and made to nit |
down over the part of the head that it will |
cover. The wires just before the cap is
placed on the prisoners head, will be COW
cred with a sponge, saturated with salt |
water.

HELD OVER TO COURT.

First Inning in the Hufnag gel. Muschenheim
Libel suir-How Preacher Came to
Sign n Remoustrance-A Lively Little
Scene for Awhile.
A hearing in the libel suit of Joseph
Hufnagel, of Forty-sixth and Butler streets,
against William Muschenheim, a cigar
manufacturer, whose place of business ad-
joins that of the plaintiff. was held yesterday
afternoon before Alderman McMasters.
Hufnagel was an applicant for retail
license, and was refused. The plaintiff, in
his accusation against Muschenheim, alleges
that the refusal was based on a remonstrance
gotten up, circulated for signatures, and
then presented to the Court by or through
Muschenheim. The remonstrance specified
several reasons why Hufnagel should not be
granted a license. The signers set forth
that he was personally unfit; that he had
violated the law; that his saloon was the
scene of frequent disturbances that made it
an unpleasant place for ladies and children
to pass.
At the hearing, Hufnagel was represented
by Colonel w. d. Moore, while Ex-District
Attorney Porter was Muschenheim's coun-
sell Several of the signers of the re-
monstrance were called to identity their
signatures and relate how they came to sign
the paper, where and when. Mr.. Porter
wanted the three first witnesses to answer
his question as to whether or not the charges
specified against the plaintiff were true.
His effort brought out a violent objection
from Colonel Moore. The Alderman de-
cided that the question was not examination
and the name of Rev. j. D. Sands was
called. The witness almost caused Colonel
Moore to explode by his very first answer,
which was inaudible to all in the Office save
the attorney. Mr.. Sands was advised not to
be "smart" and to answer the question,
Chow did you come to sign this remon-
strance?" Mr.. Sands told Colonel Moore
that if he wanted an explicit answer he
must put an explicit question. "If you
mean to ask what Influenced me to sign the
remonstrance," said the clergyman, after
two or three minutes wrangle over the
form of the question, 81 will answer that I
did so because l knew some OF the charges
made in it to be true"
Mr.. Sands was a very unsatisfactory wit
ness to Colonel Moore. but he proceeded to
ask? "Did Mr.. Muscheuheim tell you that
he had a remonstrance against Mr..
Hufnagel?'
81 told Mr.. Muschenheim that if he had
remonstrance against Mr.. Hufnagel, and
would bring it to me, would sign it,
Ibid he bring it to your house?"
"No, sir; he brought it to my study"
your study? Well, that's part of your
house, is it not?''
''No, sir; it is IN the church"
"You are preaeher?"
"Yes, SIR"
"Umph! I am sorry for that" said the
ex-preacher, looking away from Mr.. Sands.
Several witnesses were called by the de-
fense to tell what they knew concerning the
truth of the charges in the remonstrance,
after which further hearing was waived. F.
G. Kellerman became bondsmaD for
Muschenheim for his appearance at court.

THE PRISONER AND HIS CRI.
THE STUDY OF LANGUAGE.
Prof Riddle Sets the Teachers' Academy In
Motion-School Matters.

m0ttoh-Sch0ol MatterS.
At the meeting of the Teachers Academy
yesterday afternoon Miss r. L. Terrence, of the
Grant school; Carrie Adams, Allen: Mamie
Pollock PEBBLES. and Prof Speer, High School,
were initiated. After the transaction of routine
business Prof. Z. A. Riddle, of the Minersville
school, stirred up the interest of the members
by reading very able paper on Resolved,
that the present method of examining pupils
for High School in grammar, by false syntax,
is not a good one, and that change is neces-
sary."
The paper throughout contained much phi
loso pical arguments with which the majority
of the members were in sympathy. In the
course of his remarks he stated that IN his
opinion language is the most important of all
the studies, for one uses it everywhere, and it
is learned not by rules but by imitation, while
teaching by false syntax" has pernicious ef-
feet. Take instead the study of some piece of
literature with ennobling thoughts, for the writ
ings of good authors are the standard of Ian
guage, and language is therefore to be learned
by studying the best literature.
A motion made by Professor Kennedy
that the Academy indorse the paper, was car
ried. FurthermoI it was agreed that the Ques-
tion be referred back to meeting of the
principals congress, which ten years ago asked
the High School Committee to prepare the
present cours of study.

Citizens of MuckIerat in Search of the De.
famers of Thar suburb.
The honest citizens of Mucklerat are still
in active search of the parties who attempte d
to defame that suburb of Pittsburg by
causing to be printed ipfammatory circulars
calling for 1000 armed men to erect the
American fay over Mucklerat schoolhouse
1t will be remembered that the stories of
hostility to the fag-raising were based
in most part upon the circulars,
which. although unsigned and issued
without any authority, purported to origi-
nate in the ranks of the o. U. A. NJ. The
investigation as to the identity of the parties
has come to stop because the citizens have
displayed so much feeling that the men who
stirred up the demonstration deem it pru-
dent to conceal their identity at present.
Mucklerat has been thoroughly vindi-
Gated by the fact that the flag was not only
raised peaceablv, but was received with
every demonstration OF pleasure, and the
Citizens Committee.desires the public to
know that their community is incapable of
hostility to American ideas or symbols, and
is patriotic to the backbone.

scarcely movement to mark the passage
from life to death, but the victim will be
hopelessly and unmistakably dead. =.
THE PRISONER AND HIS CRIME.
Kemmler is a rough, stupid and ignorant
fellow, and he brought all of his trouble
upon himself by the excessive use OF
whisky. During his trial several witnesses
testified that he frequently absorbed as much
as quart of whisky in half an hour. He
chopped to pieces Tllie Zeigler, who. ac-
cording to the bulk of the testimony was
not all she should have been. Kemmler has
been taught to read and write in prison and
prison officials think he has undergone
change of heart.
