Two State Conventions Grow Out of the
Lottery Dispute.
BATON ROUGE, La, Dec. 16.-The cam
paign throughout the State has been very
acrimonious between the anti-lottery fac
tion of the Democratic party on one side
and those who favor the adoption of the
revenue amendments to the constitution
known as the lottery amendments-on the
other. The pro-lotteryites and those who
favor the nom ination of Judge S. D. Nc
Emery for Governor-elect have about 400
delegates, while the antis, who favor the
nomination of T. S. Adams, have secured
only 233 uncontested delegates.
When the State Committee assembled
this morning Chairman Lanier sent word
that he would not be present, and the
Adams members withdrew to hold meet
ing of their own. Governor r. c. Wiklitfe
was elected chairman of the original COM
mittee and Lanier presided over the bolt
ers. Efforts were made to heal the breach,
but they were unsuccessful, and at noon
two Democratic State conventions met.
The cause of the split was disagreement
over the temporary organization of the
State Convention and the representation of
each faction on the committees.

NO MARKS ON L0PPY.
The Electric Fluid Did Its Work Very
Neatly on the Murderer,
so THE OFFICIAL REPORTS SAY.
His Death Was Apparently Instantaneous
and Without Pain.
FEW OUTER EFFECTS OF THE SHOCK

tsPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.I
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-The certificate of
the execution of Martin d. Loppy at Sing
Sing on December was filed with the
County Clerk to-day. The affidayits of
Drs. Charles f. Macdonald and Samuel B.
Ward say that while Chaplain Edgerton
was conducting religious services the pris-
oner walked to the chair and quietly SUBJ
mitted to the adjustment of the straps and
electrodes.
There were four short contracts, occupy-
ing, in all, 80 seconds, divided as follows:
First, Is seconds: second, II seconds; third,
1515 seconds; fourth, 1Ol seconds. The
electrodes were moistened before each con-
tact. Prof. Landy found that the current
measured 1,716 volts, seven amperes. An
examination made Immediately after the
last contact showed that the prisoner was
dead. The physicians say that death was
apparently instantaneouslv and painless.
DR.. Ira Van Giesen, who made the au-
topsy Immediately after the fact of death
was ascertained, makes long statement 1t
was found that rigor Hmortis was almost, if
not entirely, absent except in the right leg
The mouth and nostrils showed no trace of
the extrusion of fluids or frothy matter.
The only eye that Loppy had
was in natural state. There
were no discolorations or contusions,
except at the knee where the electrode was
applied, and at the cheeks where there were
marks made by the restraining straps. AT
the knee there was superficial reddishness
31ax5 inches, but the true skin bore no mark
whatever. There was no mark under the
head electrode. No signs of violence were
shown in the muscles in the body.
Comparing this case with the four pre-
vious executions at Sing Sing, DIR. Van
Giesen says a current of 1,400 to l, 800 volts
does not damage the internal organs, It's
sues, or muscles. He says the local
thermic effects of the electrodes were
limited to the outer scarf skin. Parts of
the skin which had been exposed to the

THE RICHMOND TERMINAL TROUBLE.

General Thomas Striving to Preserve His
Great System In Its Entirety.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-Wall street did
not apparently take much interest to-day
in the stroke effected yesterday by General
Thomas in the affairs of the. Richmond
Terminal Railroad Company. The general
opinion seemed to be that it was case of
diamond cut diamond" and that just at
present General Thomas and Calvin S.
Brice had got the best of Mr.. Inman and
his friends ---
1t was rumored in financial circles that
the real purpose of General Thomas was a
union of the East Tennessee and Norfolk
and Western to the exclusion of the Rich
mond and Danville and the consequent
overthrow of the Richmond Terminal sys-
TEN. General Thomas denied the report
and said that the new move was the
preservation of the Richmond Terminal
system in its entirety.
