also"
The Tribune: This execution cannot
be regarded as anything more than an
experiment. and as an experiment 1T
was not complete success
The Herald: "While yesterdays eX-
,periment was failure, it does not show
that this mode of inhicting the death
penalty is not success"
The Times: SIT is unfortunate for the
cause of the execution by electricity that
its first trial was badly bungled."

electric execution should be the last.

was not smoothly successful"

The Farmers Alliance Will Not Be SO
Foolish as to Join With the Corpora
tiOns to Defeat Vance.
Especial to STATE CHRONICLE.)
CHARLOTTE, n. c., Aug. THE war
fare of the Farmers Alliance and the
Richmond and Danville Railroad against
Senator Vance grows apace, and it is ex
citing much interest. It has been sup
posed by Democrats, outside of the AL
lance, that that organization having
named seven out of nine Congressional
nominees, no formidable attempt would
be made toj defeat the Senator. It ap-
pears, however, that the farmers will de-
terminedly oppose Mr.. Vance because of
his stand on the sub-treasury bill.

Strong Guard Around the Prison.

Jail--Prisoners Break For Liberty
and Some of Them Get Away.-A
Strong Guard Around the Prison.
[By United Press!
BOSTON, Mass, Aug. IA riot among
prisoners in Jail occurred this afternoon
and after some trouble was suppressed.
After dinner the prisoners marched
back to the shops very quietly, but
hardly had they entered when a terrific
and general yell broke out. Windows
and furniture were broken and the men
rushed on to the yard and the entire
crowd dashed for the various walls. The
guards on fences fired, at first to terrify
the men, but as several nearly gained the
top of the wall the bullets were aimed to
kill. It is, however, thought that no.
body was severely wounded.
The officers with clubs and pointed re-
volvers held the prisoners at bay until
reinforcements arrived. Every available
man on the Boston police force is now
at the prison, and fully three hundred
officers are massed in the yard and cor
ridors The guard on the wall has been
more than trebled, and all are armed
with Winchester rifles and have instruc-
tions to kill any man who attempts to
scale the walls. No count has as yet be er
taken of the prisoners, but it is known
that many have not been returned te
their cells. Some of these are known te
be hiding in the wards and workshops
and it is thought that one or two ma!
have succeeded in reaching the QUITE
world. Cordons of police guard thu
streets leading to the prison, and th'
general public, including reporters, art
excluded.

Especial Cor. of STATE CHRONICLE
WINSTON, N. c., Aug. Z, 1890.
Great interest is manifested here over
the Hogue-Jones shooting affray. When
the Raleigh papers arrived at noon to-
DAY, the anxious crowd formed itself
into little groups about the post-office to
near the decision of Justice Barbee read.
Wnen 1t was made known that the JUS
tlce mad done an injustice and commit
tea Hogue to Jail on the charge of MUIR
der, many were heard to speak out in de-
nunciation of Mr. Barbee. The peone
here do not understand it. They eau
not see the grounds for such a charge
and declare that manslasg ghter is the
only thing they could possibly make out
of it. A distinguished LAWYER was
among the number who spoke ont
against it.
The judicial cauldron in the Eighth
district is in a boiling condition. The
Democrats are puzzled as to whom to
nominate for Congress. The more that
IS heard from that field the worse it
looks for Col. Cowles. Maj. Graham

part of Cleveland and good following
IN Alexander. county, while Col. Cowles is
hardly certain of a solid delegation from
any other county save Wilkes, although
he will divide others with Mr.. Bower and
Graham. Allegheny and Alexander
| seem to hold the balance of power with
! Bower counties, Caldwell, Watauga and
! a part of Mcdowell. Great speculation
Is going on. 1t is thought by some of
| Mr.. Cowles' best friends that unless he
is nominated before the fifth ballot he
cannot be at all; and there is little hope
unless Bower brings over his delegations.
1t is probable that if choice is not
made by that time dark horse, may be,
r. A. Doughton, of Allegheny, would
stand good chance. The Colonel is at
present very sick at his home in Wilkes
boro. Although hardly able to be out,
he went to Washington to vote against
the Force bill.
