OPINION AT THE HUB.
Electricizing Is Considered to Be
CHASTITY Failure.
BosToN. Aug. THE morning |

Boston, Aug. THE morning papers
comment on Kemmler's electrocution
as follows:
The Globe: The killing of criminals
by electricity appears to be a CHASTITY
failure If investigation shall fully
establish the truth of the sickening story
that comes from the prison, there will
never be another legal killing by cleo
tricity in this or any other country.
The Journal: The relative humanity
of the new method as compared with
the old must turn upon the question
whether the prisoner was conscious dur
ing the delay. The physicians present
are agreed that there was no suffering
after the first shock, and if they are cor
rect in that opinion the experiment may
perhaps be regarded as measurably
successful. though the results are hardly
such as to warrant general adoption
of the new method,
The Advertiser: 1t was sought by the
new law to provide for the instant death
of the criminal, at time and in a man.
ner which would be all execution of the
morbid sensation which attended death
on the galloWS. But as regards the
effect of it's operation upon society it
was successful only in so far as it kept
lIOul IllO OCCuC VI QCoul
of spectators. In all other essential re-
spects it was failure.
The Herald says that there has been,
perhaps. no person under capital SEN
tence in modern times who has passed
through such an ordeal of mental suf
fering as has Kemmler. He has had to
pass through repeated periods of Ella
ton and depression; has had to prepare
to meet death. and then to find the work
of preparation unnecessary; so that in
his case the terrors incident to capital
punishment have been doubly intensi-
fed.
The Post says: AS to the compare
tive merits of electricity and the gal.
lows, the experiment at Auburn has
shown that the former is effective, but
has by no means proved that it is more
decent than the latter, and has left an
impression that it is far more liable to
accident and far less certain than the
method which it supplants. The test
which New York has made should deter
others from adopting the system, at
least until further demonstration is
made

COMMENT OF THE PRESS.
Famous Newspapers Condemn the
Method.


New YORK, Aug. 7.-Commenting on
the execution of Kemmler at Auburn,
yesterday, the Sun says editorally:
The first duty of the next legislature
will be to repeal the electrical execu-
ton law, and to restore the old method
of administering the death sentence by
hanging. Scientific curiosity has been
gratified sufficiently by this one awful
experiment. The present generation is
not likely to hear of another such scene
of horrible uncertainty, unknown tor
ture, and notwithstanding circumstances
as was witnessed yesterday morning by
the assistants at the judicial expert
ment upon the body of VIM. Kemmler.
Civilization will find other lines on
which to manifest its progress.
The Press says: at will not mend
matters at all to say that there was ig-
norant bungling on the part of the exc
cutloners; that the first current was
kept OH long enough or the last current
too long. 1t was argued in behalf of
this mode of execution that death was
to be instantaneous, lightning-like,
painless, and that the maudlin hero
worship attending the dramatic march
of the nervy murderer 10 the scaffold
was to be done away with. and secret
and mysterious taking off, devoid of SEN
sational features, to be substituted. The
act went so foolishly far as to prohibit
the newspapers from publishing the de-
tails of such an eXecutiOn-a prohibit
tion which, by the way, they most prop
erly and completely ignored yesterday.

On the east side of the Red river in

GALEsBURG, ILL.,, Aug. 5.-To NJ.
Doran q Co., st. Paul, Mimi: There
was an occasional shower through the
corn belt Sunday night. but it did more
damage than good. Cleared right off,
and is hotter than ever, and the corn
is burning faster than ever. owing to
the fact of the shower making it soft
and tender. Rain fell here and there,
and then only for few minutes. Feed
ers in Illinois in places are now bidding
SOC for ear corn, and none coming in to
stations. Can't buy a bushel in this
country for 500 miles at any price to
ship, and l don't blame them for it.
Can't be estimated how much of the old
crop will have to be fed at once. as
stock is starving on pastures.
The situation is worse than that of
1881, inasmuch as the drouth extends
over greater scope of cOun-
try. and is SO great that not a
drop of surface water can be
found, even in sloughs. Then corn
went to 7Sc. | tell you it will go be-
yond that when the actual situation is
understood. The damage cannot be ap-
proximated. With rain in abundance
Illinois cannot have one-half of crop.

CHICAGO. Aug. THE wheat market
to-day was heavy and narrow, compared
with previous days. There was no very
decided news not already known and
acted upon. There was less buying by
outsiders. There was pretty free real
izing by the local trade. The wonder is
that after the big advance the reaction
was not more sharp and the decline
more extensive. The Price Current fig
ures. estimating the spring wheat crop
at 155, 600 900 bu and the winter wheat
at $50, 900 blu, making total Of 4O5,-
000,0 900 blu, which was regarded both
ways by the trade. There is no doubt,
however, but that much long wheat was
sold on these figures. Hutchinson was
against the market, as he was an open
seller. The wheat on ocean passage
increased 81, 900 blu, for the United King
dom and decreased 100000 bu, for the
continent. leaving a decrease for the
week of 100000. There were other bull
points. New York cleared 10000 bu of
wheat and quantity of flour. Liver
pool cables were firm early, and second
cables were I'D dearer. st. Louis re-
ported sales of flour at 15c over the top
price Tuesday. Chicago shipped 10000
blu, and Detroit $4,000 bu. On the other
hand cables we're received giving the
English crop above the average. No
positive or fresh reports were at hand
from the Northwest. The decline was
at no time very brisk, but at l o'clock
there was drop from the top price OF
the morning of about 2 cents. The de-
preston in wheat carried September to
955s. and the close was at $500. Decem-
Der touched 9S3Sc, and closed 9S11c. May
sold off from S1.041a early to $l.O2M
at the close. Wheat on the curb quiet
at 951a@955sc for September. Puts
94115c and.calls 9534c. The demand for
corn was by no means as sensational as
it was yesterday. In fact, many of the
buyers of yesterday were doing little
selling. The large commission firms
devoted most of the day to selling or
ders for customers and to changing Sep.
TENDER trades to May and vice versa.
Hutchinson sold enormous quantities of
September corn. The trading of the
market the last hour was quite severe.
Oats followed wheat and corn in their
fluctuations, ruling higher and then
lower. Hutchinson was free seller.
The provision market was active and
strong at the start, but was very weak
at the close and considerably lower than
on the day before. KirkwOod and other
foreign houses were free sellers on Or
ders from Liverpool, it was said. Pack
ers were also supplying the demand as
usual, and longs were unloaded like
wise, and found very soft place to lay
their burdens on.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Kemmler's Mangled Remains
Still Lie On the Disseot-
ing Table.

Decided When to Bury
Them.
The Father Of the Electrical
Method of Execution Is
Satisfied.
NEEDLES Differ to the Extent
Of Calling Each Other
Liars.

AUBURN, n. Y. Aug. 7.-Warden
Durston stated this afternoon that the
remains of Kemmler still lie in the
room in the prison where the
autopsy was held yesterday. He
has not decided where the
remains will be finally buried. The
subject which continues to excite the
greatest interest in connection with the
execution is the record of the voltage of
the shock which killed him. 1t has
been generally stated that the first
shock was 1900 volts, and the second
between 1900 and 1000. Elec-
trician Barnes, who was in the
dynamo room, said to one of the
physicians in attendance yesterday that
at no time was the voltage more than
LOO, and that it frequently fell to 800.
DR.. Daniels, of Buffalo, who performed
the delicate work of removing the brain
and spinal cord of the dead man at the
autopsy, has gone home, taking with
him parts of the spinal cord and other
specimens for experiment. 1t is learned
to-day for the first time that in the con-
sultaton of the doctors Tuesday night
Warden DurSton made proposition to
hold the execution at o'clock that
night, but it was determined by vote
of those present IT, 1T it would be better
to hold it in the day time.

The Tribune says: 1.-THE execution
cannot be regarded as anything more
than an experiment, and as an expert
ment 1t was not complete success.
Unquestionably there were serious de-
fectS in Warden Durston's mechanical
arrangements. To these, which can of
course easily be obviated hereafter.
some of the horrors of this particular
case may be associated. While we can
not consider 1t settled that the law
should endure, further tests of its desir-
ability should be had. These will be in
the interests of mercy and civilization.
Kemmler's Sufferings, whatever they
may have been. were certainly no
greater than he would have had to en-
dure had he been choked to death, and
they were probably infinitely less"
The Herald: "WhiIe yesterdays ex-
pertinent was failure, it does not show
that this mode of inficting the death
penalty is not success. The failure
was due, not to the system, bnt the
bungling, inefficient way in which the
execution was managed. The fault was
with the doctors and the electricians.
The bungling work does not prove that
execution by electricity is failure. 1t
does not warrant return to the barDar-
ity of the gallows. Had the execution
been properly and efficiently managed
it would have proved the success OF the
new system beyond all dispute. An
electric light concern should not be al
lowed to take advantage of the failure
to further its own private interests
TheTimes: sit is unfortunate for the
cause of execution by electricity that its
first trial was badly bungled. No doubt
the advocates of this method of eXecut-
ing the death penalty are for the mo-
ment put upon the defensive, but they
have not failure of the method to face.
1t would be absurd to talk of abandon
ing the law and going back to the bar
bariSm of hanging, and it would as
puerile to propose to abolish capital
punishment because the new mode OF
execution was botched in its first ap-
plication."
The World: 'The first experiment in
electric execution should be the last.
Its results strongly condemns this
method of putting criminals to death as
very cruel and very shocking. The eff
feet upon the witnesses was sickenlng.
The effect upon the public is still more
shocking. The electric execution law
ought now to be repealed OH all ac
counts. So long as it stands, convic-
lions for capital offenses will be diff
cult to the point of impossibility. Juries
will not willingly condemn men to
death by torture"
The Star: "The execution yesterday
was not smoothly successful. There
was laundering, but there have been
plumbers in executions by hanging.
One instance of this kind does not es-
tabllsh the inutility of electricity any
more than accidents on the gallows
heretofore are conclusive arguments
against the rope. Until the specialists
have had time to recover, and can give
us their thoughtful conclusions, it is
not possible to form a decided opinion
regarding the practicability OF this
method of eYecntinn -

He Seeks the Scalp Of a Buffalo
Medic.
New YORK, Aug. 7.-Dr. Spitzka,
who was present at the execution of
William Kemmler, at Auburn prison
yesterday, makes the following state
ment:
"The assertion attributed to physi-
clan from Buffalo that the undersigned
ordered currents stopped or in any way
directed the steps rendered necessary
at the Kemmler execution is utterly I'M
founded. No one in the execution
chamber knew or could know anything
about the voltage, nor did any one order
the current turned off. 1t was turned
off in accordance with previous under
standing. DIR. Carlos Macdonald and
myself between whom and myself COM
plete harmony eXiStedD in being asked
by the warden what time should be
taken, agreed to fifteen seconds, and
actually seventeen were allowed to
elapse. When Kemmler's death appeared
doubtful, SuggeStedIn a hurried way to
the warden to have it instantly turned
OF again, and it was the warden who
gave the order then and there. went
to Auburn solely 10 make the eXamina-
ton of the brain and not as an assistant
executloner. The dynamo, as judged
by the action of Kemmler's body. acted
very irregularly. The source of this it
will be interesting to ascertain, as we'll
as the animus which dictated the gratu-
itiOus and untrue statements of the per-
son alluded to, if really made by him.
AS an avowed opponent, and as one
known to be such, of the electrical
method, l went to Auburn. Under
these circumstances it was scarcely con-
sistent for me to volunteer as a per-
former OF that method. Had either my
associate, DR.. Carlos Macdonald, or
myself been able to anticipate such mis-
statements being made, we certainly
should have declined to act in the medi-
cal capacity which we alone held. My
sole suggestion, conceded with by all
present-the turning OIL of the second
current-was dictated by humanity in
view of doubts as to complete destruc-
ton of life.
