Evidently capital punishment has not been
abolished in this State Yesterday the Federal
Supreme Court came to the rescue, and dis
posed-fnally, it is much to be wished-of the
appeals in the cases of Jugiro, Wood, -Smiler
and Slocum. The writ of habeas corpus sought
is denied in each case. The court intimates
that appeals have been granted with too much
freedom by the Circuit Court in this city, and
frankly says that in at least one instance there
was no object except delay in going to the SUI
preme Court Il would be rash to assert any
thing positively in connection with capital cases
in this State but it does look now as IF the
ingenuity of lawyers was exhausted and as II
the Electrical Execution law could take its
course.
Governor Hill has signed the bill empower
ing the Railroad Commissioners to compel rail-
way companies to light and ventilate tun-
ne!s properly. This legislation is sequel
to the tunnel accident in Fourthave. not long
ago. Despite the Indictment of the directors
of the New-Haven road in connection there
with, general interest in improving the safety
of this and other tunnels has seemingly died
out. The latest reports were that the use Of
electricity for Illuminating purposes was i'm
practicable. Possibly the Railroad Commits
sioners will form their own conclusions on the
subject, and take the responsibility of ordering
electric lights to be placed in the tunnel against
the judgment of the railway officers.
One incident of the big fire on Sunday was
a question of authority as between Chief Bon
ner and the elevated railway management 1t
is novel question, for, although fires have
frequently prevented elevated trains from run
ming for while this is we believe, the first
time that the possibility has existed Of a lofty
wall falling upon the elevated structure after
fire has occurred. In this case there was a
division of opinion as to the danger incurred
by the operation of the road. OF course the
safety Of the travelling public is OF greater i'm
portance than its convenience. Judged by the

Roswell P. Flower for Governor. Now In case
there is Jeffersonian Club in Binghamton, 1t
only remains for Flower to assure its members

that this is a Republican year. that it would be

IS DYING OF LAUGHTER,
A Man 1ickICd Nearly to Death By His
Good Fortune.

Good Fortune.
Joe DnbrIinger, of Wrightstown.
Bucks county, is literally laughing
himself to death over the Newhope
extension OF the Reading railroad,
which runs by his farm. he weighed
10 pounds three months ago The
first train passed his farm on the 1st
Of March. DuhrIinger has laughed
so much since then that he now
weighs only 10 pounds. The doctors

llnger Is about fitty-eight years Old.
lie Is native OF Germany. When
the Newport extension went into
operation, with a station at Walton
about half a mile from bis farm,
his property increased in value at
one, and be began to grin. All his
talk was of the improved value which
the extention would give his land and
how his posterity would benefit there
by. Then he began to neglect his
own work and took to watching the
railroad men at theirs.
He was so ti3kled that he took
several Of the railroad men to board
for almost nothing. Duhrlinger's
mirth grew as time went on, and he
did nothing but sit on the porch and
wait for the trains to 60 by. His
keen ears detected the whistle in the
distance, and this was so gratifying to
him that he would burst out into up>
comfortable laughter. After train
had pass, d he would inspect the track
laughing quietly to himself and re.
turn to his house chuckliug, to await
the coming of the next. He knows
the time table by heart, and can tell
to a minute when tru;n should be
due "oti' his farm. He allowed every-
thug to go to pieces on the farm.
His wife hopes that the novelty of
the thing will wear of and that he will
regain his normal state. lie does not
laugh now quite so much as he did,

According to the Hub, a paper pub
lisheG at Keaney, Neb., the distress OF
the farmers has touched the judicial
bench, and caused it to exercise degree
of discretion in administering the law
1t seems that while court was in SEES
sion in town appropriately named
Broken Bow, a lawyer applied for rule
to confirm a farm mortgage sale. The
scene that followed was almost without
precedent in court annals.
Judge Hamer who was presiding,
looked thoughtfully at the lawyer a
moment Then his eyes ranged over
| the sad-faccd falmess in the hall or jus
tee,
q viii not do itr' said the judge.
This docket is covered, page upon page,
with conformation cases. The drought
of last Summer has exhausted the farm
er's resources, and he is unable to pay
his loans. The act of God, for which
the people are not responsible, has re-
duced one-half Of them almost to beg
gary, and this calamity shall not be made
worse by any act of mine. We are asked
to turn over 100 farmers over to money
lenders and 500 women and children over
to pauperism. 1t shall never be'done in
this district while l am Judge. The peo-
pie are not able to pay, and l viii not
assist n robbing them. Let us wait I'M
til crop can be raised and confidence
restored, and all will come out all right.
If man be living on his land, or trying
to cultivate it, he should have the re,
ward of his work. | will never confirm
a sale in times like these, If the owner is
trying TO make e. living on the land.
When the people are compelled to ask
aid to procure seed it would be cruel
mockery to deprive them of the land to
SOW the seed upon. | have right not
to confirm sale when the property sold
does not bring two-thirds its actual
value, and in these cases it has not
brought that amount, The sale is not
confirmed
From the conclusion of the judges re-
marks it will be seen that he had good
legal reason for his action under the
laws of Nebraska and it might have
been better if he had confined himself to
a simple statement Of the fact that he
would not confirm a foreclosure sale un-
less it brought two-thirds of the value
of the property. All his talk about be-
ing unwilling to assist in robbing the
farmers was improper. Because the
money lenders wanted to collect their
debt when it was due did not make
them robbers, and the judge had no
right TO denounce them in such terms.
Still, this incident shows how close the
bench is to the people, and how easy it
is for one touch of nature to make them
kin.
1t shows, too, that wi en- the toilers of
the land are paralyzed by great mis-
fortune it is no time for the creditor
class to resort to extreme measures. In
spite of their iron-clad mortgages they
should be reasonably patient and accom-
modating.
The story carries lesson with it.
