He CAN'T STOP THE TRAINS.

III Clerks ON Saturday Nisht3

WAsHrNarox CrrY. Nov. 21.-[Special. -
A Post reporter interviewed Postmaster
General Wanamaker in regard to criticisms
made upon him by Western Pennsylvania
clergymen because mails are carried and
postofiice business Is transacted on Sunday.
Mr.. Wanamaker says he thinks congress
IL the proper place to go for action in the
matter and then he goes on to say:
To stop the handling OF Sunday mails means
to stop the wheels OF the railroads throughout
the country at II O'clock Saturday In that
event there would be no protection for mails in
transit Hundreds OF Thousands of dol
lars paag through the mails every
day. and the custody Of mails in cars
standing on the track while crossing the prai-
ries, or even at small villages, would be q seri-
Gus matter. 1t would be . great accomplish
ment for Sunday rest If mail dispatched from
Omaha or San Francisco could lay up at II
O'Clock Saturday night, but what would become
OF the postal clerks. engineers and train hands
10 not clear.
Tho postmaster general said that If any
community, by the petition Of . considers
BILE majority of its population. asked for
the absolute closing of its Office on Sunday
the request would receive favorable
consideration. 1t would be remembered.
he concluded, that the postoffice is not
private ofhce. and that IL is the duty of its
servants to serve according to law. Those
who have different views of Sunday keep
Ing have right to consideration.

A. 7. STEWARDS WILL.
Poor Cousins Trying to Make
Judge Hilton Disgorge.
SEVENTY MILLIONS At STAKE,


New YokK, Nov. 2L--[Special. l-An-
other attempt is to be made to wrest from
Judge Hilton and others. who are now en-
joying them the $40. 100000 left By A. 7.
Stewart
Everybody thought the last contest over
Stewards will had been ended. and that 70
Judge Hilton would be left the administra-
ton of those vast charities which had ever
been Stewards hope Of fame. but nov new
claimants have come forward. The poor
cousins OF the dry goods king, now living
in County Antrim, Ireland, say that they
alone shall inherit his wealth.
The basis of the claim is startling. They
cay that the instrument which Surrogate
Delano G. Calvin accepted 81 midnight
April Is, 1876, ~ the last will and testa-
ment Of Alexander Tierney Stewart IL not
his will, and that they expect to prove that
very grave fraud, il not crime. had
been committed. General Benjamin +.
Butler and William Holt 6ecoy. their
counsel, think they can prove it They
set the machinery in motion today that
may result in startling developments.
Lawyer Secoy asked Justice Laconbe in
the United States circuit court to appoint
commissioner to take the testimony Of
DR.. Erastus e. Marcy, one Of A. 7. Stew
arts attendant physicians. hoping to prove
by him that fraud had been committed.
The suit on which the motion was based
Is that Of Sarah Branagh against William
2. smith, who was for years coachman for
A. 7. Stewart. ond for his widow up to the
time OF her death. Mrs. Stewart left him
the house. which was part Of the estate
that fell to her under her husbands will.
Sarah Branagh contends that the house
never belonged rightfully to Mrs Stewart,
because It came into her possession through
a fraudulent will, therefore she claims
Swith's possession of the house defrauds
her of legacy she would have enjoyed as
next of kin. She also sues for $4,000
damages for the detention of the property
from her since the time Of probate Of A.
T. Stewards will IN 1876.

An Appropriation Of $4,000, 900 Nscss-
sary for the Coming Year.
WASHINGTON CrrY, Nov. 21.-The an.
nual report OF Commodore Folger, chief of
the bureau of ordnance, which is lengthy.
estimates that the appropriations neces.
sary tor next years work should be some-
thing over 81 500 600. He says that the tools
for the manufacture of 13-inch guns of 50
caliber are being constructed. It Is thought
that this Will be the largest gun ever likely to
be needed for naval purposes. The bureau
contemplates issuing six-inch guns Of thir-
ty-hve caliber to the fast cruisers. and it is
proposed to make no more contracts for
six-inch guns OF thirty caiiber length.
In connection with high explosives. the
bureau has designed what may be called
rifed mortar, to project hundred pounds
OF high explosive. These will be mounted
on special vessels, as for instance ram, to
fight at close quarters. Contracts have
been made with the Ericsson Coast De-
Tense Company for one submarine gun and
six steel projectiles, to be placed on the
Destroyer.
The bureau considers it best to await the
result of further tests in Europe before
taking mp any smokeless powder.
The domestic process of manufacturing
armor-piercing projectiles is not satisfac-
tory, and arrangements have been made to
acquire the forging process of Firth
& Son. Contracts have been made
for electric motors to be applied to
eight-lnch gsns, on certain cruisers. for
handling them with increased rapiditv.
The delivery of forgings from the Beth
lehem Iron Company and the Midvale
Steel Company, and the development OF
the Washington Gun factory are such as to
warrant the belief that batteries can here
after be furnished ships as fast as they are
cnmpleted

The Jap Murderer's Habeas Corpus Case
Before the Supreme Court
WAsHrNoroN CrrY, Nov. 21.-The case of
the Japanese murderer Jugiro, sentenced
to death by electricity in New York, was
argued before the United States supreme
court today. Sherman, who was counsel
for Kemmler, represented Jugiro, basing
his argument for q writ of habeas corpus
on the ground that the execution of
Kemmler by electrocution was not an in
Simultaneous and painless death, and that
it violates the provision of the federal con-
stitution sorbidding cruel aud unusual
punishment Sherman spoke at length,
reading newspaper reports about the death
Of Kemmler. He asserted that there was
grave doubt whether artificial electricity,
generated under the presence Of scientific
conditions, invariably causes immediate
death. Sherman was frequently inter-
rupted with questions by Justices Field
and Brewer. When further questioned
about persons having been killed in short
time. by accidental contact with electric
wires, Sherman narrated the case Of line
man who did not die in . short time, al
though he received q shock of 1000 volts.
Attorney. General Tabor. of New York
state, replied. He declared that the
Kemmler case and the practical execution
settled the whole question of constitution
atty Is he understood it. Either hanging
or electricity had too much cruelty in it to
suit counsel.

The Standard Electric Time Company elected
Officers yesterday a. follows: President G. r.
Stone; vice president, A. L. Hawley; secretary.
CA. Kilbourne; treasurer, E G. Kilbourne;

han has just returned from the East, having

tfacted for 200 clocks adapted to the system, and
thsy ere now on the way here.
In speaking Of the system, Mr.. Ingraham
said: THE central plant consists of two regula-
tors and switchboard having clock dial for
each circuit These clocks only beat the minute.
Thus. II the hand point to 10 minutes before
O'Clock. II viii remain there for . minute. and
then jump TO the II minute mark. At noon
every day the standard time will b autographed
to us from New Haven, and will set the regula-
tor, the regulator will set the dials on the
switchboard, and from them II will 60 to every
clock ON their respective circuits. Thus
Ill the clocks connected with the cen.
trail ONCE will exactly agree, and the
regulator win keep them correct. In case the
regulator should get out Of order we can switch
onto another and the regulator Is not likely to
20 wrong more than fraction OF Q miAute.
Should the clfcuit b broken, the hands on the
corresponding dial will stop. bat ct the expirar
ton of every minute bell will ring. giving mo-
tice Of the irolble When that circptt 10 out
every clock on 1t will stop also suppose ten
minutes expire from the time when the circuit
was broken until IL IL restored . man will press
button corresponding 80 the dial of that cir.
cult ten times Every time he presses il the
hand OF the dial and Of every clock ON the CIR
cult will jump forward ono minute, until all
show standard time again"
The first circuit to be established will take in
the railroad depots and wharves, arrangements
having been made to place clocks with all Of
them. The only exception 10 the Northern Pa
clio railroad, which gets standard time from its
