Determined Young Lovers.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 22.-The quiet yicin-
ity of Benton, u suburb of this city, Is
much agitated by the elopement Of Chas.
X. johnson, a member Of a blue blood
family. and augusta Doenng, a iascinat
ing daughter of humba parents. The
i~nfatuation of the young man Tor the
handsome country lass has long been a
source OF trouble to his friends and par
ents. As he is under age, however, no
fears of any such steD as he has taken
were entertained and time was trusted in
to wean him from his love. He was at
his desk all day Monday, but did not
show up Tuesday morning. He next APP
peared at Belleville with the girl. accom-
panied by a lady. a mutual friend, and APP
piled for a marriage license at that place,
but was refused, a telegram from the
young mans father %fOrbidding the mar
rage having preceded them. Being in.
formed that they could get married at
Freeburg, seven miles from Belleville,
a carriage was taken for that place, only
TO suffer another disappointment They
returned to Belleville, where the young
man was arrested on a charge OF driving
through a ~tollgate without paying. Young
johnson pleaded guilty and paid the fine
and expenses, amounting to $3.50. When
last heard from the trlo had taken a train
for Nashville, ILL.,, to try their luck
there.

The six poor travellers whom Dickens
made famous years ago still partaks of
the hospitality of Richard Watts.
Yesterday" says a correspondent, 81
happened to be passing the queer little
gray building in Rochester-s main street.
and was allowed by the courteous house
keeper to take a hastyN look round.
The inspection was necessarily hasty,
as the dI poor travellers had Just como
in, and were engaged upon the hearty
meal which Watts will provides for
them, viz, a pound of bread, half a
pound of meat and half a pint OF stout.
1 was shown the warehouse In which
certain preliminaries to the banquet
are transacted, and the delightfully."-
clean little whitewashed chambers in
which the weary travellers rest their
limbs. These r up in n little gallery
and are about 300 years old. = Mall

Hanging Is played OUT Is true In a
sense not mea by the notorious Grim
inal who gave the expression currency.
As a method of capital punishment it
Is obnoxious to the humane sense OF
modern times. BY humane sense" is
not mean the sickly sentiment that
condones crime and crowns the muir
derer with flowers, but hat educated,
civilized opinion which believes In a
death penalty and favors its execution
In the least barbarous way. Besides
the possible accidents due to the bung-
ling of officials, hanging has many nc
cessories Of an unnecessarily disagree
able and painful character. Electrci-
ty as a death agent Is still more uncer-
tain than the rope, and hidcously re-
voting and cruel in its application.
Pagtnism never contrived n torture
worse than the deliberate seating, the
tedious strapping, the painstaking ad-
justment, the buzzing and the creep
ing and the writhing OF the death deal
ing current. The method has not a re
deeming feature, and were II not for
he glamor Of novelty thrown around
1t by certain pseudo-scientis.s II would
speedily drop out of consideration.
My medical friend, DIR. r. G. Stewart,
suggests a method OF penal death
which is practicable, simple, cheap,
certain and humane. 1t contemplates
the construction in each prison OF n
death celia cell differing from others
only In having properly contrived ad-
Justmonts to make it relatively air
tight when needed, into which shall
run n number of gas pipes from the or
binary Cbi-carburetted hydrogen gas
main, or better still, from a retort
genera ing sufficient carbonic acid gas.
This cell can be fitted up like other
cells as n place of confinement. Tho
condemned occupy 1t weeks or
months, uncertain of his day Of doom.
When tho fatal hour arrives the sheriff
enters and reads the solemn sentence,
relatives and friends take their last
farewell, the minister of spiritual com
fort does his last sad Offices, and suita-
BILE time is given the prisoner for reflec-
ton. Then the cell is closed tight, the
cocks are turned, and unconscious of
his approaching end the victim falls
nsloop to wake nc more on earth. BY
this form Of asphyxiation death Is alb
s~olutely painless, while the majesty of
the law, punitive and deterrent, is

CHICAGO, Aug. pa panic occurred
tonight among the passengers on two grip
trains in the tunnel under the river at La
Sale street. The panic was the result of
a sudden stoppaRe Of the machinery, with
a collision between the trains on the grade
apparently inevitable, owing to the failure
of the brakes on one train. The clangor
Of the bells IRON the ear on the parallel
tracks added to the confusion, and with
one impulse the passengers began a
struggle To escape from the tunnel.
Women and children were tramplcd
upon and screams and groaus and
curses were heard on every side and
the people on the edges were iammed
against the rough stone walls Of the
tunnel.
Mr. John Winter was fatally crushed.
TIL excitement was over in n few mo
ments, no collision occurring. The other
passengers escaped with bruises and a
hard shaking up, though tho nervous
shock to some of the women may yet re.
suit seriously.

A recent patent, which has many
points in its favor, is on a noiseless
bucket This bucket Is fitted with
india rubber feet, eyelets and handle
guards, and thus all noise in handling
it is obviated. The eyelets are made
somewhat larger in the bucket arms
than usual 70 that the rubber can be
easily put IN, and the handle works
freely in the rubber. The fitting up of
the bucket can be done In two or three
minutes. By this arrangement no ring
marks are left on carpet or table, and
the and tear of the bucket is re-
