The EIcctrocuted NIurderers.

New YORK, July II. Warden Brown
of Sing Sing prison filed his certificates
of death in the cases Of murderers
Slocum, Smiler, Wood and Jugigo with
County Clerk Giegerichb yesterday.
The certificates are mere formal an
nouncements that the sentence Of the
law has been executed. Attached to
them are the death warrants and the
signatures OF the witnesses to the exc
cution. Attached to the certificate in
Jugigos case was statement signed
by Drs. Macdonald and Ward who at
tended the autopsy. Its full text is as
follows:
The undersigned, having served as
physicians at the execution by electro
Cution this morning OF James Slocum,
Harris A. Smiler, Joseph Wood and
Schihick Jugigo, at the prison under
your charge, hereby submit at your
request the following report of their
observations:
First--All of the condemned men
walked into the execution room unre-
strained, with tirmness and without
assistance, seated themselves in turn
in the electric chair without the slight
est protest or resistance. and quietly
submitted to the adjustment OF the
retaining straps and electrodes.
Second-In each case unconscious
ness was produced instantaneously
the closure of the circuit was complete
and without interruption until the
heart had entirely ceased and death
had certainly occurred. In each case
death was manifestly painless. In COM
pliance with the statute, an autopsy
was made in each case as soon as prac-
ticable, by DR.. Ira 7. Van Gieson of
New York in our presence and under
our supervision. with the results of
revealing the same gross changes in
the blood tissues previously observed
in cases OF death by the action of
strong electrical currents. Specimens,
of blood and of the nervous system,
were taken to DR.. Van Gieson for the
purpose of careful microscopical ex-
animation, and the results will be for
warded to you as soon as completed.
In conclusion. allow lis to congratu-
late you on the completeness in all the
details in all your preliminary ar
rangements, on the uniform good Or
der and decorum which prevailed dur
ing this trying ordeal, and on the
resulting demonstration of the rapidity
and painlessness of this method of in
fiicting the death penalty. The expe-
rience of today has proved to our sat-
isfaction that his method is superior
to any other yet devised.
We have the honor to be, very re-
spectfully, your obedient servants.

The Persecutei Jews.

New YORK, July 20.-Thirty de-
tanned immigrants all Russian Jews,
are awaiting the decision OF the super
intendent OF immigration. One of
them, Mendel Rogalski, aged 20, a
carpenter by trade, tells pitiable tale
Of his adventurers and sufferings in
Russia. He became u suspect while
working at his trade in Riga and to
escape Siberia, which was inevitable
in the event of his capture, he fled from
city to city, but was constantly pur-
sued. He was finally taken prisoner,
beaten and in other ways treated most
inhumanly and prepared for Siberia
He again escaped and after much suf-
fering and great hardships reached
Hamb burg, from whence he was as
sisted to this country. His savings of
six years were taken from him by his
captors in Russia and he came here
penniless, hence his detention He
was very much affected to find that he
will be returned to Europe after all his
sutferings and arduous effort to reach
America. He says if he is caught in
Russia again he will surely be put to
death. The other immigrants tell sim
liar stories. The Jewish societies have
taken hold OF these cases and it is like
ly that they will succeed in getting per-
mission for their landing.

Beifer Clasa Of Recruits.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-Ever since
public and official attention was
directed to the subject OF the frequen-
cy of desertions from the army a year
or SO ago there has been determined
effort on the part of the authorities to
improve the quality Of material OF
which the service is recruited in the
belief that in this lay the remedy for
the great evil. Extra endeavors were
made to secure young men who sought
the army as profession rather than
as haven of refuge and to this end
the efforts of recruiting officers have
been Systematically turned away from
cities toward the country. The new
system has just begun to show its
fruits. and is more than justifying the
expectations of those who inaugu-
rated it.
An officer OF the adjutant generals
department who had charge OF this
work remarked recently: 1--WE are
having very good work with our later
recruits, and think the army today
is composed OF better class of people
than ever before. We have abandoned
the city field almost entirely for the
country, where we are more apt to
find vigorous young men, eager to do
well and to wear chevrons. Such men
make good soldiers, far better than
the old, hardened toughs who come
out of the slums to enlist Us 4 last re-
sort or as means OF drowning their
identities.

electing passive men to office. There
can be no national prohibition until
there is political party behind it. Us
antl-slavery was never successful until
an anti-slavery party succeeded at the
polls. This brought out Rev. Paulson
OF New York. who thought that the
action of the rum power in controlling
the present political parties should be
followed and fought within the old
party lines. This brought out Rev. j.
b. McGraw of New York. who believed
that it was the duty oftemperance men
to make their utmost effort felt by the
strongest blows and that can only be
done effectively by working outside
the old parties.

Imprisoned for AnOtherss Crime.

DENVER. Colo, July 20.-The Times
publishes sensational story from
Grand Junction, which, if true, will
liberate John l.. Campbell from the
penitentiary where he is now serving a
sentence OF lifetime. During the
year 1885 John l.. Campbell and Sam
uel Jones were partners in a big cattle
ranch near Unaweep canon. Mesa coun-
ty. Colo. On the afternoon of May 10
Jones left the ranch on horseback for
Sllverton, expecting to reach there
some time the next day. Several
hours later Campbell also left the cabin
for i distant part OF their range. Jones
was never seen alive after leaving the
house and several days afterwards his
body was found in u lonely spot riddled
with the balls from q Colts revolver.
Campbell was arrested for the murder
OF his partner and though stoutly
maintaining his innocence, he was con-
victed on circumstantial evidence and
sentenced to the penitentiary at Canon
City for thirty-tEree years. During
the trial, Bob and Ira Smith, two cow
boys, OF the ''bad man with 4 gun"
order, were very Jealous to fasten the
crime on Campbell. and were very in
dignant that he should escape with his
life and organized mob to lynch him
but were frustrated.
The boys hung around Grand juno
ton for two years. when with the aid
of three embryo Black Barts, they held
up and robbed the Rio GranGe express
train ten miles east of that place. The
robbers were finally caught in Utah
aud brought to Denver and lodged in
the county jail, where they made the
acquaintance of Newt Vorce, man
killer from Deer Trail. who was await
ing his sentence. The Smiths and
Norce became friends an exchanged
experiences. The former were con-
victed of robbing the United States
mails and sentenced to long term in.
the government prison at Laramie,
Wyo.. and Vorce is residing with the
states warden at Canon City. Vorce
now tells story which lie to the effect
that they are the men who killed Jones
and that Campbell is innocent. The
crime was committed at the instiga-
ton of other parties who were inter-
ested in a lawsuit with Jones at Tellu-
ride. They also drew a diagram for
Vorce. showing where Jones saddle
a lot of valuables and So, 500 in money
are buried four miles from the Una
weep ranch. The matter will be in
vestigated and if found true the gov
ernor will be asked to give Campbell
his liberty

to deserving and disabled soldiers and
sailors and their widows ard orphans.
The prosecution Of the Jewish peo-
pie by the Russian government justly
deserves ana receives our unqualified
censure. We believe this government,
in connection with the enlightened
governments OF Europe disposed to
unite with us. should take the proper
steps to alleviate these wrongs.
The minority reported the following
as a substitute for the silver plank in
the PLATFORM:
We believe in honest money the
coinage OF gold and silver. and a cir
culating medium convertible into such
money without loss; and we oppose all
legislation which tends to drive either
gold or silver out OF circulation; and
we believe in maintaining the coinage
OF both metals on parity.
1t also recommends that the resolu-
tion declaring for a graded income tax
be stricken out of the platform.

To Eyade the Trust Law.

CHICAGO July 1S.-Tne wholesale
grocers OF this city met to consider a
proposition from the Ligget & Meyer
tobacco company OF St. Louis, intended
to evade the antitrust law of Illinois
1t is understood that their plan has
the sanction of the tobacco trust, and
grocers anticipate its adoption by the
sugar trust. starch trust etc. In brief,
it proposes in place of obligating the
wholesaler to sell at the trust price,
he will be made an agent OF the trust
under conditions which will enforce
the maintenance OF prices as eifectu-
ally as under the old plan. Considera-
BILE opposition to the scheme developed
at the meeting, but no definite action
was taken.

POrtcr,s Figures Criticised.

WASlIINGTON, July 16.-The buile-
tin recently issued by the census office
giving the receipts and expenditures
of 100 cities has been more or less
criticised in the newspapers. The ac-
curacy of the figures have been ques-
toned and the array Of figures have
been pronounced worthless. 1t seems
however, that the criticisms thus far
have been OF a general character, for
Superintendent Porter states that al
though the bulletin has been issued
several weeks, no officer of any city
has pointed out any error in it, either
in the amounts or the classification.
He says that if any errors should here
after be pointed out the Office will
gladly correct it before Incorporating
the figures in the final census volumes.
The statistics relating to Washington
were not given in the bulletin, owing
to the character of the government OF
the city, which is so unlike any other
municipal government in this country
that classification would have been i'm
possible. Mr.. j. X. Upton, the special
agent in charge OF the works. states
that he would be glad to make a sep
arate bulletin of Washington, and this
will be done if he can get the time.

Decision Against Corporations.

ALBANY, N. Y, July 16.-The attor-
ney general has just received from the
general term of the third department
very important opinions involving the
right OF the state to collect from COR
porations the organization tax in the
case OF the consolidation OF corpora
tions. The actions were against the
Nickel Plate railroad, so-called, and
the Fitchburg railroad, and were SUBJ
mitted upon an agreed statement of
facts at the general term in May. The
amount o. the tax in the case of the
Nickel Plate (principal and interest) is
over $51, 900. The court holds that
when two or more corporations consol-
idate the consolidated corporation is
new corporation and becomes so by
virtue of the provisions of the state
authorizing the consolidating and thus
brings it within the scope OF the act OF
1886, which imposes q tax OF one
eighth of l per cent upon the capital
stock OF every corporation incorpo-
rated under the laws OF that state, TO
be paid at the time OF incorporation
and as q license for the privilege OF
incorporation. The court holds that
the companies must pay the tax and
directs judgment to be entered. The
cases were argued by Hon. Samuel +.
Williams of Cleveland, o., as counsel
for the Nickle Plate. These test cases
were brought at the instance of the
secretary of state.

Emancipation In Brazil.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-A letter to
the bureau of American republics says:
Since the emancipation of the slaves
in Brazil the domestic service as well
as the agricultural labor of the repub-
lie has been greatly demoralized, and
many families find themselves entirely
without servants, the cOlOred people
the former slaves refusing to work
for love or money. The city council
OF Rio de Janeiro attempted to regu-
late the domestic service by an Ordi-
nance which prohibited a servant from
leaving 4 household without thirty
days notice, and had several other
equally rigorous provisions. but the
measure has been disapproved by the
minister of the interior whose sane
ton is necessary to carry into effect
any municipal regulation.
The official papers OF Rio de Janeiro
announce that the minister of agricul-
ture has asked the minister OF finance
to give him Il credit of SIT, 900 on ac-
count of the quota OF Brazil in the ex-
pense OF the intercOntinental railway
survey.
According to official statistics the
imports of the Argentine Republic for
the first three months OF the present
fiscal year were $19,75S, 290. against
$42, $50, 95S during the same period of
the preceding year. The exports were
$50, 202, SO. against $40, j2l, O92 the

Kansas Bank Smash,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 1S.-The
First National bank of Wyandotte, or
Kansas City, Kan, suspended business
yesterday and is in the hands OF bank
examiner. l. ID. Wilson, president of
the bank, is very reticent concerning
the cause of the failure and the condi-
tion of the bank. He does say, how
ever. that the assets are 5000, 900 and
the liabilities 500, 900. Much of the
assets, which were supposed to be gilt
edged, are OF such a nature, he says.

Thirteen Thousand Found Slowed
Away in n Suicides Piano STOOL.

WlNONA, Mimi, July 15.-Nearly
two years ago a sensation was caused
here by the suicide OF Lena Wineberg,
for thirty years househeeper OF the
Huff house, and the discovery after
her death of about 81, coo in gold
slowed away under false bottoms in
her trunk. With this money she was
about to return to her native land,
Sweden, and had shipped the trunks
to Baltimore. but in Il moment OF in
sane frenzy took her own life just as
the time arrived for departure. The
money was paid over TO her heirs in
Sweden.
A sequel now turns up scarcely less
interesting than the initiative. On Sat
urday evening, her executor, +. a.
Goeditz, had his attention attracted to
a piano stool used by the woman Lena,
and taking it to pieces there was Il fur
ther sum Of SIS, OO0 in gold, which the
miserly housekeeper had evidently
slowed away. There are various the
ories as to how she obtained so much
money. one OF which assigns the real
ownership to Colonel Cockreli, the
former proprietor of the Huff house.
1t is probable a lawsuntWill follow.

Bardsley.s StealiuGs.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-The eX-
perts appointed to Investigate the ac-
counts OF John Bardsley, late city
treasurer, have made Il detailed report
to the mayor, in which they say that
they have endeavOred to discover the
total amount of money received each
year at the state desk in said Office, the
share therefrom belonging to the state
and to the city and expenses and other
items deducted therefrom. so that the
net deficiency on the accounts OF the
late treasurer may be definitely ascer-
tanned.
A recapitulation OF their statement
shows the total balance due to the
state and city to be s. 594, SOL. Against
this is credited deposits in various
banks to May 80 last OF $919, 675, Key
stone due bills $S25, 900, and Keystone
bank checks paid by Bardsley in ex-
cess OF the city fund account 1896, O43,
leaving total deficiency in Bardsley's
accounts OF 1903, $50. In addition to
this deficiency the interest which
firms and individuals. together with
dividends on stock and securities in
which he invested with public money.
amounting to at least $224, 600, should
be added. making the grand total of
money misappropriated $77S, $50.
