An invention by which writing can be
transferred from paper TO iron is the work
of Boston man, who has invented hard
ink with which he writes (backward) upon
ordinary paper. That paper is placed in
a mold, melted iron is poured in, and
when the hardened iron is removed it is
found that, while the heat burned away
the paper, it did not affect the ink, but
left the impression of the writing nodded
into the iron. This discovery was made
by noticing one day that the printing on
an ordinary handbill that by accident had
fallen into the mold was family trans
ferred in this Way.

resolution calling upon him for information re-
garding the shipment in bond of merchandise

The Death instrument.


Kemmler was seated in chair shaped some
thing ike deck chair used on an ocean
steamship into which he was strapped end a
metal cap fitted over his head. The cap covered
the nslf of his dead opposite to his chin. The

The c1minars feet were fastened upon rest
something like that used with barbers chair,
and the circuit was completed by wire con.
Meeting with metal plates applied to the feet.
The dynamo which furnished the electricity is
in a part OF the prison several hundred yardS
distant from the death chamber and is con-
nected with il by two heavily insulated wires.

volts passing through il. From these the
wires run through another bar, called regu-

Before the Chambers.


LONDON, August 6th.-A dispatch from Buenos
Ayres says; President Celman, abandoned by
Pelegrini, Roca, Pena and Garcia, and COM
pletely isolated, has been forced to resign. AS

have the constitutional right 70 decide whether
the reasons given for his resignation are sufii-
cient for its acceptance. rhe pOpulace threat
ems to shoot any Deputies who vote not to ac-
cept the resignation.
A committee of Deputies is trying to reconcile
Celman and Roea and Pellegrini The Presi-
dent, however, declares that his resignation is
irrevocable.
THE PEOPLE INDIGNANT
LONDON August 6sh.-A dispatch 10 the Tines
from Buenos Ayres says II is impossible to de-
scribe the Indignation that prevails here arising
from President Celman's playing with his solemn
promise to resign. Every effort will be used to
prevent Vice-President Pellegrini from resign
ing, as he becomes President If the Chamber ae-
eepts Celman's resignation. It is expected in
the event of his becoming President that Pelle-
grini will surround himself with the best and
most honorable men. Every effort Will be made
to sustain the credit of the Republic Every
body is disposed 10 make monetary and per-
sonal sacrifices TO help an honest Government.

DETAILS OF THE ExeCUrIoN.
Three Shocks Were Necessary to Cause
Death.

Death.
AUBURN On. Y J, August 6th.-At $50 the door
at the right of the execution chair. leading to-
ward the execution room, opened and Warden
Durston's figure appeared in the doorway. Ee-
hind him walked spruce-looking. broad
shouldered little man, full-bearded, with care
fully arranged hair clustering around the fore
head. He was dressed in Il suit OF new cloth
ing, a sack coat and vest of dark gray material,
trousers of mixed yellow pattern. white
shirt whose polished front was exposed di-
rectly below little bow of lawn Of black
and white check pattern. This was William
Kemmler, the man about to undergo the
sentence of death. Behind him walked DR.. w.
e. Houghton and Chaplain Yates. Kemmler
was by far the coolest man in the party. He
did not look about him with any special degree
hind him and was carefully locked by an at
tendant on the other side, as though he did not
know exactly what to do.
Give me chair, will you?" said the War
den.
Some one quickly handed him wooden
chair, which he placed in front and little to
the right OF the execution chair, facing little
circle OF men.
Kemmler sat down composedIy, looked about
him, then up and down, without any evidence
of fear or especial interest in the event. His
face was not stolid. 1t was not Indifferent. II
looked. if anything, as though he was rather
pleased at being the center of interest.
Warden Durston stood to the left of the chair,
with his hand on the back of it.
Almost at the moment kemmler took his seat,
he began to talk in short, quick periods.
'Now, gentlemen he said, "this is William
Kemmler. ! have warned him he has got to
die, and If he has anything to say he will
say it."
KEAMLERs LAST WORDS.
As the Warden finished, Kemmler looked up
and said in a high keyed voice. without any
hesitation, and as though he had prepared him
self with speech: well, l wish every one
good luck in this world, and think am going
TO a good place. The papers have been saying
lot of stuff that isn't so that's all have to
say
With the conclusion of the speech he turned
his back on the jury, took off his coet and
handed it to the Warden. This disclosed the
fact that hole had been cut from the band of
his trousers down, SO as to expose the base of
the spine.
When the coat was off Kemmer turned in
the direction of the door through which he
came into the room, and began to unbutton
his vest At the same time the Warden drew
the interfering drapery OF his shirt through
a hole in his trousers and cut il of, so as to
leave a little surface of the flesh against which
one of the electrodes was to press, absolutely
bare.
Warden Durston called attention to the fact
that it was not neces sary TO remove the vest,
and Kemmler calmly buttoned it again, and
carefully arranged his tie.
Don't hurry about this matter" said the
Warden. "be perfectly COOL
Kemmler was perfectly cool. He, by all odds,
was the coolest man in the room.
