A STARTLING STORY
To the Effect that Electrocution is
q Rarbarous Thing.
ONE OF THE BODIES is BURNED
In Most Horrible Manner--what a
Reporter Alleges Ho Discovered
When smilcr's Coffin was Opened.
The Story Said to be Confirmed by
the oficIating Priest.

NEw YoRx, July S.-The following is
printed in an extra edition Of an even
ing paper here:
The body of murderer Harris A.
smiler was brought to this city this af-
ternoon by Undertaken Hull, of 265
West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth
street, on the train which left Sing Sing
at 1:S6 o'clock. The coffin was taken
into the basement by the undertaker's
assistants and the lids were quickly
taken of, exposing the dead mans face.
The reporter stood close by and was
Mortified at the sight that met his eyes.
Smiler's face had been burned and
scanned by the electric fluid until it pre-
sented the appearance of having been
broiled.
The hair on the front Of the head, the
mustache and eyebrows had been
singed and burned off. The face was
furrowed and SCARED as though with q
hot iron. These marks were not those
VI u bG1IDCl VI Nl1oGSLAAAS AAhAVs AASy
were palpable burns. Pressing closer
to see the dead face palmer, the re-
porter attracted the attention OF the
undertaker's assistants, and they seized
him by the shoulder and compelled him
to leave the place before any other por-
ton of the body was exposed.
It was learned through one OF the
undertaker's assistants that Smiler's
left leg was burned to the bone. The
eyes were badly burned, though the
eye ball was not destroyed.
A Sing Sing dispatch says: "Father
Creeden is quoted by priest as saying
that when the whole story came out it
would be disclosed that all the doomed
men were burned by the electrodes,
but that they had been so mutilated by
the surgeons knives that it would be
difficult of proof. The priest, who par
desired to keep his name out
OF print, said he had been told the same
thing by layman who had seen the
bodies-presumably prison employe."
Confirmation Of the above is not at
hand

Col. Mcclure Says tho Emancipator was
Opposed to Hamlin's denomination.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July S.-An edi-
torial by Mcclure will appear in to-
morrow's Tines censuring John G. MIC
olay for his telegram to the widow OF
late Vice President Hamlin. 1t says
the present discussion will destroy his
claim as to the accuracy of his biography
Of Lincoln. II saw Abraham Lincoln
at all hours Of the day and night dur
ing his presidential service and he has
himself abundantly testified to the trust
that existed between US. There were
not only scores Of confidential confer
ences in the White House OF which
John G. Nicolay never heard, but no
man ever met or heard John G. Nicolay
in such councils. He was q good me-
chanical routine clerk. His biography
OF Lincoln is invaluable US an accurate
history OF the public acts Of the Lincoln
administration, but there is not chap
ter or page on the inner personal attri-
butes Of the man that is not burdened
with objectionable errors.
/ now repeat that in obedience. to
telegraphic request from President Lin
coin, l visited him at the White House
the day before the Baltimore convention
Of 1854. At that interview Mr.. Lincoln
earnestly explained why the nomination
Of well known southern man like
Andrew johnson would not only ma
tionalize the government, but would
greatly lessen the grave peril of the re-
Cognition OF the Confederacy by England
and France. No intimation, no trace OF
prejudice against Mr.. Hamlin was ex-
hibited, and well know that no such
consideration could have influenced Mr..
Lincoln in such an emergency. l re-
turned to Baltimore to work and vote
for Johnson, although against all my
personal prediction in the matter.

The CroWnlng Event.

LONDON, July S.-The great event for
London OF the Emperor's visit will be
the passage on Friday next Of the
Emperor and his party on their way to
Guild Hall. Business along the route
of the procession will be practically
suspended and windows overlooking
the route are letting at very high prices.
The most elaborate preparations have
been made to decorate the streets
through which the procession viii pass.
It is expected that the pageant on
Friday next will exceed in pomp, mili-
tary and civic display anything seen in
this city since the Thanksgiving Cere-
mony in st. Paul's over the recovery Of
the Prince of Wales from the attack OF
typhoid fever which threatened to end
fatally many years ago.

Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, O., July S-A little after
10 o'clock tonight came ar, alarm Of
fire, calling relay of engines to the
great building occupied by A. E. Burk-
hardt & Co., manufacturers and whole
sale and retail dealers in furs and fur
goods. The building is at the southeast
corner of Elm and 4th streets. 1t Is the
property OF VIM. A. Goodman; banker
and financier. Itwas 70 feet wide on 4th
street, and extended back 100 feet on an
alley. Its fourth street front is seven
stories high and its height on the alley
is eight and one-half stories deep under
the ground. The building is nearly new
and cost over 100000 to put up. Mr..
Burkhardt added 100000 in interior
adornment, within the last two years.
Mr.. Burkhardt told the associated
press agent tonight that he could only
give rough estimate OF the value Of the
stock in the building, and that it was to
the best OF his belief between $500, 600
and 100000. In addition to his own
immense stock, he stores great quanti-
ties of valuable furs for citizens every
summer and these furs arc all in the
burning building.
At IL o'clock the splendid building
was a furnace. The streets were full of
of spectators, and the whole. ssheayens
were lurid. The store room OF this
building has been pronounced by tray
elling citizens and visitors the finest in
America. Valuable adjacent property
is endangered.

Sea.

RoME, July s.-Some additional and
important communications from an un-
usual and reliable source in regard to
the crisis in St. Peters pence have just
come to hand. No one has found the
real secret of the dismissal Of Mgr. Fol-
chi, and the old administration and ap-
pointment of a new commission. Ithas
become known that Mgr. Folchi last
winter resolved, in order to save the
Banco di Roma, in which the Vatican
was largely interested, resolved to es-
tablish foreign banks, with the object
of absorbing the financial securities OF
Rome, which were known to be in a
disastrous condition. Above all, they
wanted to save the Banco di Roma.
Mgr. Folchi, having taken on account
of the Vatican 10000 shares, the admins
istration OF st. Peters pence found itself
involved nominally to the extent OF
5,000,0OO although really only to the
extent of 2,5OO,O00. Mgr. Folchi had,
moreover, deposited in this bank the
sum of 100000 lire. Mgr. Folchi pro-
posed to the commission of cardinals
that the Vatican should enter into the
banking combination to the extent OF
100000 lire.
Mgr. Folchi ignored them and carried
out, in conjunction with Lazzaroni and
Baron Buoncompagni, the financial
project which had been submitted to
and rejected by the commission. Mgr.
Folchi first started bank named La
Credit in Paris, but was called to order
and dismissed by the Pope. Twice the
project of starting Catholic bank in
New York had failed, but this last time,
as Baron Lazzaroni, rich banker, and
Mgr. Folchi with the supposed support
of the Vatican) were the promoters of
the old idea, it was believed that sue
cess was assured. Now, however, the
fall OF Mgr. Folchi has put everything
in peril.
Vatican, 5000, 900 are still in danger, as
it consists Of loans make to Roman
princes, and Of a large number of de.
preciated securities. A revulsion of
feeling has set in favor of NJ. Folchi,
and it is thought his opponents have
been too hasty.

THE ELL1orr TR1A1.
Dramatic Scenes Witnessed in the cOur
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
Columns, O., July S.-The scenes
characterizing the Elliott murder trial
to-day were highly dramatic. P. B. Ell
lott, the brother OF the defendant, and
the one whose bullet ended the life of
Osborne, was put on the stand to testify
on behalf of his brother. In reciting
the threats of the deceased against his
brother and family, the witness was
overcome by emotion. He stated that
Osborne fired the first shotat his brother
and was prepared for the defendants as
they came up the street. He said
that after he was struck by two
bullets from 0sborne's pistol, he re-
treated to the street, but then turned
and ran into the hat store to lay down,
as he thought hewas mortally wounded.
In there he was intercepted in his effort
to get out by Osborne. In the scufhe
the deceased's hand squeezed the wit
nesss's fingers pressed on his revolver
and the shot following was the one
which killed Osborne. At this time he
claimed blood was squirting from his
head through his hat, caused by q
wound made by Osborne, and he be-
heved himself fatally injured.
Cross-examined by Attorney Booth for
the State the witness underwent q ter
rible ordeal. During the examination
the witness was asked: "Did you not
shoot and kill Osborne when he was
down, and did you not choke him after
he was dead?"
In replying, the witness turned pale,
and starting to arise in forcible effort,
he sank back in his chair and his reply
of "no, sir" was given in tremor Of
voice.
