Automatic Hanging.

DENVER, Sept. 22.-On some day this
week w H. Davis, a colored man, will
suffer the death penalty for the murder
of his mother, Mrs. Carrie Armsby, and
a lodger at her home named James
Arnold The double murder was COM
mitted at Pueblo In Colorado crimi-
nal when hanged Is not launched to his
death through the agent of a human
hand. \ small platform Is constructed,
which is kept slightly above the level of
the door by means of springs. Con-
nected with the platform is "A rod, which
runs up along the side of the building
to point where the weight which lifts
the condemned man from the floor Is
suspended. The rod keeps closed a
valve and vessel containing fifty pounds
of water When the condemned steps
on the platform it sinks slightly, forcing
the rod up, which opens the valve and
permits the water to run. 1t takes five
minutes to empty the cask, during which
time the criminal is bound, the moose
fastened about his neck, and services for
his spiritual welfare are commenced.
Wh|a the vessel is empty and the weight
on the catch is lighiened, the 500-pOund
weight hanging on the outside of the
building Is tripped, and in the midst of
prayer the condemned man Is dangling
in the air, at a time when he'leasts eX-
poets it. This contrivance was arranged
by former warden of the penitentiary,
who was loaf h to assumed the respOI 81
bi lity of pulling the string that causes a
mans death.

London Bank Robbery.

LONDON, September 21.-The banking
world of this city has just been startled
by the announcement that an import
ant bank robbery has taken place in this
city. The police and bank officials are
trying to keep the matter as quiet as
possible, so that the entire facts in the
case are not obtainable at present
1t is known, however. that the insti-
tuition that has suffered is the London
and Westminster Bank, an important
establishment having over fifteen branch
houses in this city.
The money stolen, it would appear,
consisted of a large parcel of bills re-
mitted from country banks to the Lon
don and Westminster Bank. The thief
or thieves must have watched for a
proper opportunity to accomplish the
robbery and to have gained access to an
apartment near the main entrance to
the bank. This apartment was easy of
access from the street and the parcel of
bills is supposed TO have been stolen
while the bank officials were busily en-
gagged in another department in going
over the accounts of last weeks settle
ment.
The officials decline to make any
statement for publication as to the actu-
al loss incurred 10y the bank, but it is
currently reported that the amount
stolen is not less than $3.50, 600 and that
it may amount to as much as 81 .25O.-
600.

Turn on the Light.

Tn 70 the time OF the hearing before
Judoas F.sll and Gordon on the charges
,c,ainst Auditor General McCanIent. the
recent exposures of corrupt practice in
office related only to officials in Phila-
deIrAia. Late Treasurer Bardsaey and
the NIerchantile Appraisers only, were
proceeded against crlminally- In those
expo.ures the people outside OF Philadel-
nhia therefore have not taken the IN
tense interest that must be excited by
the charges now made affecting the
Office of the Asditor General of the
State. At the recent hearing before the
two Judges it was developed that Dis
trict Attorney Graham Is IN possession of
most damaging proof of official unfaith-
fulness The evidence consists of book
entries and checks made 10y Bardslcy,
and letters written 'br Auditor General
McCamant and Mr.. Livsey to Bardsley.
Rardsley in the criminal proceeding re-
fuses to answer any questions relating to
these checks and entries: declaring that
his ..self-respect and regard for his fam
ilv'' forbid his making any further DIS
closures. Auditor General McCamant
the only other witness to the facts can
not be called Is a witness against HIM
self. and hence, as a legal prosecution,
the proceeding falls for the time being.
Now. however, let the people of Penn
sylvania have the facts Let the suspect
ed state officials be arraigned before the
bar of public opinion. What are the
accounts and entries in Bardsley's hand
writing which he refuses even to look at
in court? What DO the mutilated check

General to be silent in a legal proceed
ing. the people, whose servant he Is,
having a right to demand that he shall
speak. Did Mr.. McCamant receive
S7l54. ~ from Mr. Bardsley, as shown
in his accounts? If SO where did the
money come from, and what was II paid
for? What.say you, Mr. Auditor Gen

The Mexican Battle.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Sept. 22.-It is re-
ported from up-river points that Garcia 5
force of revolutionists in Mexico Is re-
ceiving daily reinforcements from this
side of the river. Small parties from
Texas frontier counties are crossing at
different points between here and Lare-
do. There is a large element of discon-
tented MeXicans in these counties
Hard times and lack of employment and
the inherent love of anything savoring
of revolution makes them ready recruits
Garcia is still reported as making toward
the Rio Grande, closely pursued by Mex
lean troops. The United States soldiers
stationed on the Texas frontier are all in
the field watching the river crossings
Fort Brown is occupied by n post sur
geon and teamster. All others avail
able are out, and they number hardly
more than corporal : guard

THE Republicans, says the 'Philadel-
phia Record, put a tax on tin plate to pro-
its manufacture, and a tax on oleo-
magazine todiscouragc its manufacture.
The tax on oleomargarine goes into the
public treasury; but it does not appear to
be heavy enough to prevent production.
The tax on tiuplate was intended to go
into the pockets Of tinplate makers; but
the inducement does not appearto be
sufficient to stimulate production.
The theory that the taxing power of
the Government may be rightfully used
to break down one mans business, and
to build up another mans business. is
one of the most pernicious distractions
that ever obtained a hold upon the
minds of statesmen or exemplification
in the administration of government.

be justified under the color Of Protection

Is the calculations of the Pension
Office for the current fiscal year there is
an element of the prodigious calcula-
ted to startl the public mind. The per-
sion roll now contains over coo. 600
names, and costs more than SIG, 900, =
600 annually. On July last there were
no less than 90, 426 claims unadiudi-
gated in the pension Office. Whence
come this vast swarm of pension seekers?
They are the fruit of new legislation
since 1878, begun under Hayes, contin-
ued under Cleveland and eliminating
under Harrison; comprising arrears of
pension acts, enormous increases in the
former rates of pensions, and the Disa-
bility bill. Very soon it may be an hon
orable distinction, perchanee, not to
draw pension.

TuE mootcd question of the rvsiSna-
ton of William Iivsay, cashier of the
state treasury, SAYS the Harrisburg Pat
riot. was settled yesterday Tuesdayl
when Treasurer Boyer opened hrs masi,
after his return from a hunting tour to
Canada.
The cashier rendered his resignation
in a courteous letter, bearing date the
same div that Mr.. Idvsey read in the
newspapers that Mr. Boyer had appeared
before the legislative investigating com
mittee. The modesty of hr. Iivsey
then and there overcame him. The
dignity Of George Handy Smith and the
inqlisitiveness of John II. Fow he knew
weuld be too much for him and he
shrunk himself into the ohscurity of a
letter of resignation.
Mr.. Boyer says he intends TO accept
the resignation He should not do SO

Crash OF Freight Trains.

PTTsBURG, Sept. 20.-A freight wreck
occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad
two miles east of Greensburg this morn
ing, demolishing forty freight and
twenty cattle cars. Engineer Rogers
and brakeman Wadsworth were fatally
injured, and fireman r. f. Stanley
seriously hurt. The wreck was caused
by the freight parting on the down grade
and coming together again. Before the
tracks were cleared an east-bound cattle
train crashed into the wreck, and twenty
carloads of cattle were killed. The cars
were piled on top of each other nearly
100 feet high. The loss will reach away
up in the thousands.

on Tuesday tho 22nd, the day fixed upon
by the Presidents proclamation for
throwing open the lands ceded froIa the
Sac, Fox, Kiowa and PottawatonIie in
dians to settlement and homestead en-
try says. When the hour of noon was
reached to-day the many people ON the
borders Of the new lands made mad
rush into the coveted territory. The
number of home seekers was much
greater than the number Of quarter sec
tions available. Fully $4,000 people
rushed into tho territory TO take posses
sion of the territory from the west side.
Nearly as many rushed in from the south
side, and several thousand charged on
the reservation from the other side.
Never were such scenes witnessed.
The widest excitement prevailed.
Thousands of men and women were on
horseback, and several shooting affrays
occurred One tall raw-boned preacher
led 500 PreSbyterians into the land from
Cimarron City. Many people it Is re-
ported, have been killed, and the n.ar-
shals can do scarcely anything.

Charleston was unfoundeG, and that he
committed suicide Saturday morning by
putting bullet in his brain at the Ar

have been in hiding. The cause of his

that he saw no chance of escape and
