ELECTRIC EXECUTIONS.
A FIGHT TO SAVE A JAPANRsE
FROM KEMMLBR's FATE.

First Motion to Secure Final Action
BY the United States Supreme Court
on the Question OF the Constitution
ality OF the New York Law.
NAsHIKeTos, Oct 27.-The first motion
to secure final action from the supreme
court of the United States on the question
OF the constitute ito nality Of the New York
electrical execution law was made In the
supreme court to-day. 1t was moved that
the case be advanced and set down for
speedy hearing. The point raised In the
case Is that the Kemmler execution demon
strated that killing by electricity is cruel
and unusual punishment, and as such pro-
hibited by the constitution.
DISTINCTION OF THE CASES.
After the counsel had made the motion.
Chief Justice Fuller asked: "ls there any
distinction between that case and the case
of kemmlerp
Daniel O'Callahan, who was the counsel
who made the motion, responded: ''Yes
sir, this distinction-that the carrying out
OF the sentence in the Kemmler case was
not scientifically successful, and the petit
toner hopes that electricity will be decided
TO be not a proper mode"
The Chief .Justice-we VIII take the
papers.
THE CASE AT ISSUE.
The case in which the motion to advance
was made Is that Of Japanese named
Shibuya Jugiro against A. A. Bush, agent,
warden OF the Auburn IN. y } penitentiary.
Jugiro is under sentence of Death for the
crime OF murder, and It is proposed to kill
him by electricity, as is provided for by the
law Of the state of New York The coun-
sci, both for the state and for the prisoner.
concur In the motion to advance. There
have been several stays of execution in
Jugiro's case, and another will undoubtedly
be necessary. The case can hardly be de-
cided before the time last fixed for hts

CINCINNATPs MUDDLE.
Members of the Old Board Fighting
the New Law.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 27.-Contrary to ex-
pectation, an application was made this
afternoon for an injunction to restrain
Mayor Mosby from appointing members Of
the board of city affairs authorized by the
act of the legislature, passed on Friday last
The application was made to Judge Hunt
of the superior court by Louis Reemelyn,
William Montgomery and Ed. Dunham of
the board of public improvement. which
which was abolished by the same act. The
ground of the application is that the act Of
the legislature was illegal and void because
1t is unconstitutional, in being a special act
couferring corporate power, and that ii
limits the selection of members to the two
leading political parties. A temporary or
der was issued, but before it was served the
mayor had made his appointments and ad-
ministered the oath to the men. The new
board is Thomas G. Smith and W.
G. Raynor, democrats. The republicans
are Gustave Tefel and Maj. Freiheimer.

Hobb visited Friday, and whose house,
when subsequently, searched by the police,
revealed traces of desperate struggle. aud
who was subsequently, placed under arrest,
was arraignod in the police court to-day on
preliminary hearing.
THE KEY TO THE CRIME.
Mr.. Hobb. husband of the murdered wo-
man, was called upon to testify. and his evil
dence disclosed the fact that a iaison had
existed for some time between himself and
the prisoner He had a latch key to her
house and frequently visited her. He
thought that his wife did not know OF his
relations with Mrs. Percy. A further ex-
animation OF the kitchen at Mrs. Piercy s
