warden then took seat beside Kemm.
Ter, and introduced him to those present.
asking him If he had anything to say. He
had and said: "Well | wish everybody
good luck in the world" he said in easy
tones, "and I'll go to good place the
papers have been saying lots of stuff
about me that amt So" The prisoner
thenasslsted in preparation for his own
death. Every strap had been frightened,
the electrode had been pressed to the
seat of life; the wardens and deputies
stepped back and there was hush The
warden inquired of Doctors Macdonald
and Spitza how long the current should
be maintained in Kemmler's body. The
first response was 20 seconds, which was
almost instantly changed to 10 seconds.
kemmler waited the shock The hour
was o'clock and 48 minutes. The war
den turned and nodded his head to some
tne who stood in the secret room at the
fatal switch. There was quick convul-
sive start Of the bound figure in the
chair, little squeaking sound of strain
ing straps, and the breathless watchers
heard no sound, save bird songs in the
bright sunshine outside the windows.
Kemmler's body was entirely unbound
about 7:a0, but the doctors waited till af-
ter breakfast for the autopsy. 1t was
conducted by Drs. George F. Strady,
Charles r. Macdonald, 3. G. Spitzka and
William I. Jsnkens Of New York city,
and 9. NJ. Daniels Of Buffalo. They sll
agree that unconciousness was instantly
produced and that death was apparently
painless, notwithstanding some slight de-
feet in the electrical apparatus which
required second contact Of the current
70 insure death.
All the physicians say there is no doubt
that consciousness was stricken instantly
from Ksmmler's brain. The charring of
the flesh was slight. Warden Durston
say 1900 volts were first applied to
Kemmler. When questioned tonight by
the Associated Press correspondent if 20
incandescent lamps on the circuit to in-
dicate the presence Of the current were
burning when the bolt was discharged
into the murderer and he stated they
were. They should not have been. The
moment before switching the current in
to Kemmler the test lamps should have
been cut out.
The body of Kemmler will doubtless
be disposed OF tomorrow In the prison
burying ground with quick lime tc
hasten dissolution.

LONDON, August 8.-The Chronicle,

AUDACIoUs ROBBERY IN BUTTE.
Thieves Enter the McDermott Hotel
They Ransack Trunks.

BUTTE, August GA bold attempt at
robbery for big stake occurred at the
McDermott hotel here today. Mrs.
Miller, formerly we'll known as sport
ing woman IN the town, arrived at the
hotel yesterday from Ogden with her
husband. She always carries large
amount Of jewelry with her, about six
thousand dollars worth. This evening
aboat 8 O'Clock she went up to her room,
which she had left about noon, and en-
tering was surprised to find two men in
the room, who appeared to be going
through the trunks. A pair 1f pistols
were leveled at her before she had time
to make an outcry and she was requested
to keep perfectly still. The thieves soon
completed their search and with couple
of bundles left the room, again repeating
their caution. Fortunately for Mrs
Miller she had her diamods on her per-
son at the time, which, in the excitement,
the thieves had not noticed. She waited
a few seconds and running into the hall
way gave the alarm. The thieves had,
however, escaped.

Nothing new in the way of bull news

a weekly local paper made the condition

give much credit to the report, though il

THE SIRE OF DEMOCRACY.

EX-SenatOr w. w. Eaton Addresses n
 Large Audience at the HyperiOn- His Tariff Ideas Out of Harmony
 With His Party - An Inquisitfve
 Aud1cnce-Judge Morris Talks-FOx and HOtchk1ss.
 ''The sire of Connecticut democracy" so called, w. w. Eaton, was the star speaker at the democratic mass meeting at the Hyperion last night. Ex-Judge s. A. York was chairman, and there was list of hundred of more vice presidents. The theater was we'll filled. Judge Luzon B. Morris, J. B. Sargent, Timothy J. Fox, H. L. Hctchkiss, and others were present upon the stage. The Second Regiment band furnished music.
 Judge York made few remarks, attack ing the republican tariff measures, and in troduced ex-Senator Eaton. The venerable gentleman spoke for an hour or more He arraigned the republican party upon every issue, especially for the Mckinley bill. He stated that the admission of the Dako- tas to sisterhood was another measure brought about by those who have been striving for this tariff bill
 "What president signed the bill for the admission of the Dakotas," asked a voice
 "Mr. Cleveland, believe" was the an. swer after some hesitation. "But a demo cratic president may mistake Nevefhe less, do not doubt but President Cleve land did his duty. But my friend Senator Platt, and his party have done wrong l they have committed damnable act b, admitting two states, such as Wyoming and Idaho, which have not population a great as three Connecticut towns.
 Several questions were asked the sena tor. Cries of 'Put him outl' greeted tn questions. Chairman York stepped for ward and said anyone could ask an intelli gent question, but no one would be allowe

to ask foolish questions about what presi- dent admitted state, as it is congress which does this and not the president.
 I charge it upon the republican party, continued the senator, with Benjamin liar rison of neither end, head nor tail, with admitting two states, one with @ popula ton less than that of New Haven, for the purpose of sustaining their tariff measures by the extra senators and representatives.
 In speaking of the tariff, upon which he dwelt at length, the speaker said the ondary object protection. He thought sugar should not have been put upon the free list. He said that to-day it was high CT in our stores than it was four months ago under high war tariff. He consid- cred reciprocity humbug. fYou cannot have it without treaties" said he, "Here the democratic party is ready to meet with its friends of the other side in judi cious arrangement" The senator's observa- tions upon the tariff obviously jarred with the views repeatedly expressed by J. B. hind him upon the stage and listened with apparent approval.
 "But the tariff does not make all the difference" he remarked. 'fYou can not put tariff on the American people which they cannot stagger along under. It is a free government we are after charge upon the republican party that it has passed force bill-a bill to destroy the rights of the states. Senator Platt says they have the constitutional power to do it. deny it."
 Judge Morris argued desperately against the system of representation which made the legislature republican while the state vote is democratic. He condemned the re- publican tariff policy.
