The reception of the telegram announc-
ing their daughters death by drowning
was a sad blow to the parents and the
young lady's brother, who is a few years
older than the sister. The telegram sim
ply read, aYour daughter was found
drowned today come immediately"
Miss Ferber left her home about
month ago to live with the family
of Mr.. John Miller, of Hoboken, who are
spending the summer at Lake Hopat-
cong. Only a few evenings ago she
visited her home in this city and raptur-
ously described the pleasures she was
having at the Lake, and especially dwelt
upon the fact that she inevitably spent
her evenings on the lake in a boat or raft
alone. AS she was of lively and daring
disposition the bereaved family are in
clined to think she must have fallen over
board and been drowned accidentally
rather than have deliberately taken her
own life. The family think 1t strange,
however, that they received no word
from the Millers, with whom they are in
timately acquainted. The despatch an
nouncing the young lady's death was
signed "Amos Evans"
Miss Ferber's father, Mr. Philip Fer
Der. is well known in the vicinity of the
Heights, where he has resided Tor the
past ten years.
Young Philip Ferbers, the brother of
the unfortunate girl, with Coroner
Brackner, went to Lake Hopatcohg to
bring the body to this city. They were
expected TO arrive here about four
O'Clock this afternoon. The grief-stricken
parents have received no further intelli-
gence of the sad occurrence and do not
expect any until their sons return with
the body. They are inconsolable in their
grief and are in tears the greater part Of
the time

Peter j. Costello is a liquor dealer at
No. 655 Grand street. John Kimmerly is
an emplove at the glass works and lives
at No 667 Grand street. He sent can
for some beer yesterday, drank it and
then filled the pail with some sawdust
and dirty water. This he took to Costello
and asked If that was the kind Of beer he
sold, and demanded his ten cents back.
Costello refused to give him the money
and Kimmerly became very abusive, and
was put out of the saloon by the pro-
prieter. This so angered Kimmerly that
he broke half a dozen windows in the
saloon. He was arrested for this, and to-
day Justice Wanser sent him to Snake
Hill for thirty days.

Mrs. Lena Zimmerman, with her two
children, appeared at the Sergeant's desk
at the First precinct station house this
morning and asked for police protection
for her home in the rear of Grocer Mark 's
store at No. 13S Essex street. She said
that about week ago her husband se-
cured a position with the groceryman at
SIS month and the rent of the rooms.
The family came over from New York.
Somehow Mr.. Zimmerman did not suit
and he was discharged after being ems
ployed several days. All hands were out

Mr. W. H. Peddle superintendent of
the Central Railroad Company of New
Jersey, New Jersey Central Division,
said today that there was nothing definite
known in regard to the proposed new
jackson avenue station. He also stated
that the iron firm in New York who were
figuring on the cost of an iron structure
had not yet made the bid. From the fact
that Superintendent Peddle recently
visited the jackson avenue station with
an architect, it is surmised that an iron
depot will soon be constructed at Jackson
avenue in place of the antiquated struc-
ture used as depot at present.

The centre Of Population.

In 1890 the center of population was
twenty-five miles West of Baltimore;
since that time it has been moved West
ward at an average rate of about fifty
one miles in each decade, never deviating
d degree North or South of the thirty
ninth parallel. The greatest progress
was between 1850 and 1860, when II IraveI-
led eighty-one miles from a point IN Vir-
ginia to twenty miles South OF Chilli
Gothic, o. This, Of course, was caused by
the gold excitement and consequent set

DIR. spitzka Bellirerent.

DIR. Sp1tzka 1atly contradictS the report
that he had anything to do with the exc
cution except what any medical man
there did. He says in circular letter to
the newspapers
kindly contradict the statement at
triDuted to a parsonage from Buffalo
named Daniels, that the undersigned had
any other relations to the Kemmler
execution than those of a medical coun-
sci to the Warden.
''The voltage, working OF the dynamo,
and other matters relating to execution
of sentence, were entirely in other hands,
and no one In the death chamber could
know anything of the voltage.
THE person named deliberately and
stated the direct contrary Of
what he knew to be truth, probably
to vent his spite, because DR.. Mac
Donald and myself loyalty adhered to our
agreement with DR.. Jenkins, and were
thus in the way of his wretched little
scheme for notoriety.

seconds by previous agreement and not
by my order nor by any one elSe's

versy between Carlos Macdonald or the

and is complete harmony between DR..
Macdonald and Dr. Jenkins, who was our
common choice land actually made the
autopsy, and myself. Respectfully,
'sE. G. SPITZKA, M. d."
It is said that DR.. Shrady has declared
that he believed Kemmler could have
been resuscitated an hour after the cur
rent was taken off the first time by the
use Of hypodermics.
Thomas A. Edison, jerseys electrical
expert, thus comments on the execution:
--"The trouble, to my mind, lies wholly
in the application of the current to the
victims body, the working out of a
Doctors theory in the face of the plain
demonstrations of experience. The
true way TO execute criminal is to send
the current through his body from one
arm of the death chair to the other. The
current would then pass through his
heart, causing instant death.n
The press all over the United States
condemns the execution, and the
Chronicle of London ssys:-"The
scene was worthy the dark
est chambers of the Inquisition
in the sixteenth century," The agitation
that will be created by these adverse
opinions everywhere will, it IS believed
by all thinking men cause the repeal of

SHIFTING THE BLAME.
Fighting All Around Over
the Horrible Torture Of
Kemmler'S Death.

AUBURN. n. Y, August Z, 1890. This
town is very quiet today after the ex-
citement of yesterday. Kemmler is dead,
but Kemmler is not forgotten. 1t is be-
lieved here that he never will be, and
that his execution by electricity is the last
that will ever take place. Opinion as
to the execution is divided. Warden Dur
ston expressed himself as being perfectly
satisfied with the result of the first ex-
ecution or this nature, and referring to Z.
b. Huntley who was overcome with hor-
ror when he witnessed kemmler's death,
he said his opinion should be taken with
the knowledge that he is a Westinghouse
man.. When told that Drs. Shrady and
Fowler were not agents of the Westing-
house Company and that they had said
the imam was burned and the scene hor-
rible," the Warden merely replied:--'I
do not want to censure any one; but do
want to say that whatever blame there
was in the matter it was not mine.
Had / not deferred to the great scien
lists, there would have been no burning.
The burning was at the second contact.
There would have been no second contact,
but DR.. Spitzka called after seventeen
seconds that the man was dead Not sat-
lsfied, asked DR.. Macdonald, and he
affirming DR.. Spitzka's words, had the
current cut off.
1T is q mistake, however, to suppose
that Kemmler suffered because of the
burns. He was dead TO all pains at the
first shock. The burning was due to the
drying up of the sponges. Kemmler did
not feel it.
Il say that the execution was success
full There was no falling down upon the
ground, no twisting and turning and
contortion of features. as there has been
in too many cases of execution by hang
ing. The man died instantly, painlessly."
Dr. Shrady, when spoken to about the
matter. said:-
1.-THE preparation is deliberate, with
carefulness and slow. 1t works up the
nerves of the spectators to a fearful ten
sion and must force the victim through
dozen deaths. The death is instantaneous
and painless but it's sureness must al
ways depend largely on those in charge.
There is delicate, complicated mechan-
ism to operate. In the hands of any but
absolutely sure experts there might be a
bungling that would produce a scene
more heartrending, more awful than
hanging in all its history has ever
produced"
