ment
Pfth of the Arguments.
Mr.. Sherman said there WIS no doubt
that @electrocution" was usual punish
ment, and also cruel. In su Discrimination
of the claim he said that there was no sure
method of telling how much the resist
ance of a man to the electrical current
might be; it might be 100000 ohms, in
which case the punishment would be tor
ture. A man might be cremated on the
surface, or he might be carbonized He
also contended that the provision which
makes the warden of the penirentiary exc
cutioner, instead of the sheriff, was I'M
constitutional
Mr.. Tabor spoke for the ST ate and con-
tended that there was no violation of the
constitution in the proposed manner of ex-
ecution He confined his argument prin-
cipally to showing that the claim of the
plaintiff as to the application of the Eighth
and Fourteenth amendments was wrong,
and to citing authorities in support of his
argument.

Johnny Eagan Disposesof Half
a Million,
AND ENDS HIS DAYS IN POVERTY.

II IS Father Strikes ii Very Rich on Coal
Lands, and Leaves the Son 100000
Unique Methods of Getting Rid of the
Lucre-Two Thousand Dollars for an
Exclusive Entertainment-His Effort for
the Mollie Maguires.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 21.-Johh Ea-
gan, a second "Coal Oil Johnny" and an
individual Of many eccentricities, has just
died at the Hillside poor house. Eagan
was the only son of Patrick Eagan, who
located in the Lackawanna valley forty
years ago The father bought forty
acre farm, which afterward turned out TO
be mint. There was coal underneath,
and one day Eagan received an offer
of $500 900 for his land, which he accepted.
He did not live long to enjoy his fortune
however. The next year he died, and his
great wealth reverted to his son.
Much Wealth Was His Ruin.
The latter was brought up hard work
ing boy on farm, and his sudden acquisi-
ton of a fortune evidently turned his head,
as he took to drinking and carousing and
spending money in reckless manner. He
thought nothing of spending 500 in an
evenings enjoyment among friends and
boon companions, which he had in plenty
at that time. Many stories are told of his
queer escapades. One of them was of his
riding down Lackawanna avenue, Scran-
ton, on horseback one summer night, about
ten years ago.
A Barroom Incident.
He was going along leisurely playing on
the violin, on which he was an an adept
until he espied the open door of a saloon.
He drove his horse through the opening
into the barroOm, still playing on his ia
vorite instrument He ordered drinks for
the whole crowd, wheeled about and drove
out again. This is only one of the queer
and amusing actions of this poor unfortu
nate, who squandered enough money to
keep himself and friends living in affiu-
ence for the remainder of their lives.
Wanted to See a Barn Burn.
One day he went out in the country and
gave farmer &, 900 to set fire to his barn
He said he wanted to see the hay and straw
burn. On another occasion he gave 800
to Ted McNulty to let him punch him in
the eyes until they were black. One Fourth
of July he got tired waiting for regular
train to carry him twenty eight miles. He
paid the railroad management $500 for a
special train TO carry him to his dcstina-
ton When the Mollie McGuires were
condemned to the gallows Eagan went to
Harrisburg with a certified check for $780,
900 and offered it to Governor Hartranft if
he would pardon the Mollies
Another Unique Exhibition.
He had two locomotives built at a ma
chine shop and had them shipped TO his
farm. He built a track 800 feet long, and
after both engines got up good head of
steam he caused the throttles to he opened
The two engines came together with a
great crash. Eagan said the sight of see
ing them come together was worth what
they cost The locomotives were of no use
afterward. When his money was all gone
Eagan was pitiable sight. His clothes
were ragged and no shoes adorned his
feet. No one recognized him. despite the
fact that in his days of prosperity he
helped many poor family i'll their strug-
giles with the world

THE Union devotes two columns of its
valuable space this morning to an expo-
sition of the many redeeming qualities of
the horde of republican candidates for
county offices. The source of this deluge
of eugolistic comment is discovered in
eleven So announcements on the second
page of the morning sheet. Somehow
the Union failed to discover until now
the exceeding goodness of all these am
bilious gentlemen, and the revelation
can hardly be said to have been as spop,
taneous as it was sudden.

SALISBURY ON SOCIALISM.

The British Premier Seems to Have Some
Broadgauge Views.
LONDON, May 21-ln reply to the earl
of Wemyss in the lords yesterday, who
had attacked the Socialistic tendencies of
certain acts of public bodies, Lord Sails
bury said that Socialism might he defined
as the state doing something that might
be done by private persons for the sake OF
gain. Sometimes this was very unwise
thing TO do, and at other times wise
thing. There was nothing so Socialistic as
the mint and the postoflice yet at the
same time there was nothing more justiti-
able. The public could be trusted to find
out what practical good lies behind the So
cialist doctrine.
Where There Is Smoke There's Fire.
Nobody not absolutely blind could deny
the existence of great evils from which
arose the Socialist proposals and action.
Industrial and other causes produced
great centers of misery We are bound to
do all We ran to remedy these evils even if
we get called Socialists, knowing we are
undertaking no new principle or striking
out on no new route, but are simply pur-
suing the long and healthy tradition of
English legislation.
Lord Salisbury's remarks were received
with cheers

Her Escapade Was an Eiopement with
the Lover Mostly Missing.
OAKLAND, Ills, May 2l-Maria Wendle,
who mysteriously disappeared two weeks
ago, was brought home by her father
from indianapolis yesterday morning The
girl was found there at the house of a
friend of her lover and taken to the home
of her indianapolis aunt The girl was
easily induced to tell the story of her
flight. Her lover is Lee Gwinn, the son of
A. j. Gwinn, of Brockton She said he
had promised to marry her and TO join her
in indianapolis, where the wedding was to
take place.
Story of Her Travels.
She left the Brown residence May
8, making her egress through the
window, Gwinn furnishing the ladder
He then drove her to Newman, where she
took the midnight train for indianapolis.
While in indianapolis at a hospital she
received two letters from Gwinn under his
own signature. These letters will he used
against him. As soon as the giITs state
ment had been reduced to writing and
sworn to, officers of this city were tele-
graphed TO arrest Gwinn.
The Lover Non Est Now.
The officers went to Brockton yesterday
morning to make the arrest but found
that Gwinn had gone. Gwinn's father, it
is alleged, drew large knife on the Off
GERS and threatened to carve them, but
was persuaded by display of revolyers
to remain quiet. Yesterday afternoon
three warrants were sworn out for Gwinn.
There will he a civil suit brought against
him for breach-Ofpromise in the sum of
$4,000 Besides Gwinn, whose people are
very wealthy and prominent, there are
three or four other persons who are
charged with aiding and assisting in the
abduction, but their names are withheld
Other Suspects Swallowed.
Each party is being closely Swallowed by
the police, and any attempt at escape will
be followed by prompt arrest. The return
of the girl has excited great deal of in.
dignation against Gwinn and the people
who were connected with the abduction
A subscription is now being made up by
the public to offer as reward for Gwinn's
capture, and the governor will also be
asked to offer an additional sum from the
state.
