QUICK AND PAINLESS DEATH.
BUFFALO. n. Y, August 7.--Dr. Daniels
was seen by reporter TO-DAY. He reite-
rated his statement that electricity il pro-
perly conducted Is the quickest and an alb
solutely painless death. - DO not wish TO
criticise.b said he. but | believe that
at the Kemmler execution Warden Durston
had very poor advisers both as 20 the con-
struction and placing OF the machinery
and the time during which the current
was applied. 1T should have been kept
on at least ten seconds more, and more
over the voltage was insufficient. IL
should have been greater. 4 $500 voltage
applied one second would have been sui
ficient. Death would have been instanta-
neous. and there would have been no burn
ing. which necessarily resulted from the
continued application Of the ele ctric cur
rent.

They Rise and Attempt to Escape from
the Massachusetts state Prison.

ff,y telegraph 20 IN. Dispa,cn.
BosToy, August For some time past
trouble has been brewing Mt the Charles
town State prison. having its origin IN the
objection OF inmates 10 submit 10 the en-
forcement OF the BertillOn system OF mea-
suremcnts. The recent escape OF prisoner
Moore and the unsuccessful attempt OF
Chicken" Walsh. notorious convict.
has served To keep matters unsettled,
but for several DAYS there has been no dc
cided outbreak. This afternoon about 5
o'clock, however. the conyicts III the shoe
shop refused 60 obey the orders OF tneir
keepers and as if by some preirranged
signal oil At once set up terrific yell anu
missiles of every description were sent fly
ing IN all directions, the windows on the
north and west side being entirely de-
Inolishcd.
ADAsH FOR LIBERTY.
Then they made n dash for the yard. and
the large express-wagOn standing IN the
enclosure was pushed toward the wall by
mob of over fifty infuriated convlcts. but
IN the excitement it was capsized. This
means OF assistance being gone the crowd
rushed for the various walls. Instantly the
sentlrels began firing-at first 70 trlghten
the convicts, but later TO kill. The other
officers Of the institution were quickly at
hand, and with drawn reyolvers soon
massed the gang in groups after hard
fight, IN which clubs were freely used. and
many Of the convicts' heads were badly
crushed. Word was quickly sent 20 police
headquarters. and in a short time about
200 officers. detailed from the various sta
tions, reached the prison in patrol-wagons.
FINALLY LOGGED Up.
Upon their entering the yard they were
met with a cry OF derision by the conylcts,
who We're finally locked up in their cells.
Several of the cOuyicts were found hidden
about the shops, and II was feared that one
or two had escaped. The guard on the
walls has been more than trebled, and a
large number # police are massed IN the
yards and corridors. while fifty or more
officers guard the streets leading 20 the
prison. After the prisoners had been
locked up they continued their yelling Tor
some time, and pan1emOnium reigned de-
spite all possible efforts on the part OF the
officers. They were then taken from their
cells sinGly and thoroughly searched.
THE INsTIGATOR.
The rising to-day is said TO have been in
etigaied by Chicken" Walsh. II being
scheme of tho gang 70 scale the walls and
escape during the excitement which was
sure 70 follow. Walter Evans. another of
the Albany-strect crowd. is SAID 10 have
fired two shots from revolver through
the shop window at Sentryman Moore, but
without hitting him.
The officials at the prison at a late hour
this afternoon declined to give the details
Of the affair.

FLORIDA HOTEL BURNED.
Beautiful Pablo Beach Loses Its Finest
Building.
by telegraph to the Dispatch.l


JACKSONVILLE. FLA. August Murray
Hall, an elegant summer hotel at Pablo
Beach, was burned to the ground early this
morning. The fire caught about mid
night IN the engine-room in the rear Of
the hotel and could not be controlled
owing 10 the low pressure Of the water az
the time. 1t spread rapidly to the billiard
hail. also in the rear, and at 1890 A. NJ the
northwest turret Of Murray Hall proper
was in flames. The hotel was Of
wood, four stories high, with nu-
merous towers, turrets. and gables, and
the flames made quick work of it. There
were fifty guests in the hotel at the time,
but the warning was sufficient TO enable
them To escape in good order with their
effects. Much OF the valuable furniture
on the lower iioor was saved, but nothing
from the upper stories. At 2 A. NJ. there
was not timber standing. Fire was also
communicated to tue beach payihon. the
promenade dance hall, andth depot ofthe
Jacksonville and Atlantic railroad. which
were entirely consumed; also. one small
grocery store north of the railroad pro-
perty.
Murray Hall was built In Iss5-'s6. and
was the property of John G.. Christopher
and wife, of this city, and the original cost
was $40, 900, but subsequent additions and
improvements TO the plant brought the
value up TO c2O0,O00. The Christophers
loss including furniture. is about S255. O01.
They had only $4,000 insurance. The no
teI had been leased for the season To J.. X.
Campbell. proprietor Of the ST. James Ho-
tel in this city. whose loss is slight. The
railroad company's loss is $1,000; in
eurance 500.
