Hurled Over the Falls.


Falls in the smooth and placid water. Anunoon-
scious of his danger. he allowed himself to drift
with the current which was at first slight grad
uaIly Increasing in momentum, until at last his
rapid whiring and the sullen roar OF the cataract
brought to his suddenly awakened senses q fun
realization Of his awful peril-too late. He was
seen in the boat for a moment poised upon the
brink OF the abyss, and then he was plunged
headlong to destruction.
What lesson can be drawn from this terrible
fate through needless carelessness. Too often
we neglect little weakness, a slight nervous
ness, the tired brain, sleepless and restless
nights, from which wake unrefreshed.

mind, dullness, loss Of memory, strange sensa-

prostration, with that most awful fate-insani-
twill result How slow we are to understand
the danger in the cold feet and limbs, the slight
numbness, trembling, prickling sensation, or ex-
treme WEAKNESS of the limbs and realize that
sure paralysis will follow on neglect We often
disregard the weakness and languor of nervous
debility and malaria, the disorders of the stom-
ach liver kidneys, until chronic, il not fatal,
decease fastens upon our systems
Do not, like the careless boatman above the
falls, allow yourselves to drift placidly on the
river of life toward sure destruction 1t is

WARDEN DURSTON TALKS.

He Claims that the Electrocution of
Kemmler was Thorough and Complete
Success, the Evidence of Physicians
will Demonstrate.
ALBANY. N. Y, Aug. 9.--Warden
Durston of Auburn State prison, was in
Albany last night Asked by United
Press reporter about the statement
that the execution of Kemmler was
tungled he said:
1.-The execution was a thorough and
complete success, as the official re-
ports will show. The public should
take the evidence of physicians who
saw it. 1t was far superior to hanging
the man. Much of the matter tele-
graphed from Auburn was for effect.
Strip it of verbiage and the result is
apparent 1t is said that Westing-
house man was at the switch That is
false and can be SO proved if neces.
sary."

BUFFALO, n. Y, Aug. S.-The attack
made by DR.. Spitzka, of New 1ork' oii
DR.. Daniels, of this city, created CON
siderable of sensatio here, where Dr"
Daniels is held in high regard. inter
views were had with number OF WIZ

ed in the opinion that DR.. SpltzKa hao
made a fatal mistake in his estimate
of the time required for the shoch "
produce death. Sheriff jenkins was
very outspoken. He said mo
Kemmler execution, had it been prop
erly managed, would have proved en-
tirely successful, in my judgment
sWho was responsible for the bao
.nanagement?'' he was asked.
CDR. Spitzka. The warden was NOT
willing to rely on his own Judgment IN
the application of the current
He said to the doctors: now
gentlemen, you know much pet
ter than 1 do how long the current
ought to be administered. DR.. Spltz-
ka, who assumed to speak for every
body, declared briskly that three sec
onds would do tue work. Mr.. Durston
thereupon inquired if it would be sa1e
to turn the current on in ten or htteen
seconds, and DIR. Spitzka answered py
reaffirming his former declaration.
When the current was turned on
the chest heaved and the wohle body
stiffened out, but quickly settled back
into the chair apparently lifeless. DIR.
Spitzka instantly appealed to Durston
to have the current turned of, which,
as you know, was done at the end OK
seventeen seconds. Suddenly we were
Mortified to see the chest move, 1ol-
lowed by what appeared to be deep ana
labored respiration. The current was
again turned on, and the rest you know.
I believe that if the current had been
kept on for proper time at first the
execution would have been a complete
success"

kEMMLER'S BODY INFERRED.

Tho Body of the Electrocuted Murderer,
Packed in OulckIime, Laid Away i'm the
Auburn Prison Graveyard Before Day
light and without Ceremony.
AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. ST was an
unpretentious funeral that occurred
from the State prison at an early hour
this morning. What the surgeons had
left of the remains of William Kemm-
Ter had been placed in a plain pine cof-
fin. The coffin had been filled in with
quicklime. No clergyman was present,
and no word of religious import was ut
tered. The family of the dead murder
err had failed to claim his body, and it
was to be inferred as the law directs.
The same secrecy has been OBJ
served in the preparations for
the funeral that has charac-
terized the whole execution. No
body was appraised of the hour of it's &C.
currence and the grave. which is in the
sixth row, the twenty-first grave in the
row, was dug between dark and day
light, being completed at a. m. 1t
was at that hour that the coffin contain
ing the remains was placed in the dem
ocrat wagon belonging to the prison. A
convict drove it. Keeper Miller sat on
the seat and that was the extent of the
procession. Driving rapidly, by cir
cuitous route, the wagon was sent bowl
ing to the cemetery, mile from the
prison. Few noticed it, and nobody
knew what it con tanned. Arriving at the
graveyard, which is neglected patch
over-run with wild carrot and plague
spot to the city, the wagon was stopped,
the men dismounted. and with the aid
of two waiting grave-diggers, the coffin
was placed in a rough box and lowered
into its place. The grave-diggers be-
gan at once to fill in the earth, and be-
fore people of the city had awakened to
the duties of the day, Kemmler had
been buried. In pursuance of the poll
cy of secrecy, denial is made of the fact
of the burial, but the newly-made Craze
is there
