PREFERS ELECTRICITY.
Sidney Bell Does Not Like the
Idea Of Hanging.

Sidney Bell had a long conference with
his attorney yesterday afternoon. 1t is said
the attorney is making arrangements to
appeal the case to the Supreme Court, and
in that event Edward Campbell, upon whose
testimony Bell was found guilty of the MUIR
der Of Samuel jacobson, viii not be re-
leased from custody for some time. While
Bel is still flippant when talking on general
topics, be fatty refuses to say anything in
reference to the crime for which he may pay
the death penalty.
The murderous fOotpad has frequently
discussed methods OF execution with the
deputies at the County Jail " l must con-
fess," said he, That l would prefer death
from electricity to hanging. l once received
a shock Of 2O00 volts and know what the
sensation is. II kemmleT had been properly
executed in New York he would have SUI
fered no pain whatever. The current
should be applied through ones arms and
not the head, and then there would be NO
mistake about instantaneous death"
Bell has been instructed by his legal adj
wiser to say nothing about the killing of
jacobson, and that is why he is SO reticent
on that particular subject.

Mrs. CooDer,x Hible-CIass

A large number of ladies and gentlemen
were present at the Bible-class Of Mrs.
Cooper, in the First Congregational Church
yesterday, and many interesting deductions
were drawn from the lesson, which was
"IsraePs Overthrow ForetOld." The
teacher, in opening the lesson, said that it
is the law Of the material world and Of the
spiritual world that we lose what we do not
use. We are always gaining or losing. God
will not tolerate unprOductiveness. Dead
branches are cut away; living branches are
watched and pruned that they may bear
more fruit. There is no real fruitfulness
except as we are united to God. as branches
are united to the vine. The second division
of the lesson was on ill-nsef wealth

The strong wind raised vast clouds of
dust yesterday, but in spite of it large
crowds Of people visited the wharves, and
several ships had number of lady visitors
on board. The crew of the German ship
C. II. WatjenS repeated their musical per-
Torrance Of the previous Sunday, and the
wharf was thronged all day by curious lis
teners. The dust did not have any effect
on the street preachers, and they drew big
crowd at Washington-stre Wharf. Most
of the fruit-pedders attended the picntcs
across the bay, so there were very few Of
them left along the front.
