Chief Judge Ruger, of the Court of Appeals,
has little sympathy with the appeals on frivolous
pretexts which have been so frequent in capital
cases, especially since the Electrical Execution
law went into effect The opinion which he
has rendered in the case of Loppy is not lacking
in point Unfortunately as the law stands there
seems to be no way of preventing such appeals,
since they are made without cost to the APP
pellant. and he can thus secure delay with
trining outlay of trouble. An amendment TO
the law is evidently in order and the subject
may well demand early attention from the
LEXIS allure.

No doubt whatever seems to remain as to the
complexion Of the State Senate. Yesterdays
developments showed cOnclusively that the
Democrats could not substantiate their claims to
the three districts on which they have been
building their hopes. The next Senate will
stand thus: II Republicans, / Independent
Republican and IA Democrats The Assembly
is still in doubt. The Hid District of Jefferson
was apparently lost TO the Republicans yester-
day but they have fair chance of holding the
Sullivan District and this, with the Xlllth
District of this city, in which Mr. Gibbs insists
that he is elected, will make Republican ma
jolity of .. In any case, the Republicans will
control the Legislature on joint ballot.

Twilight Memories In Venice.

On one Of these purple laden twilights
we had foated over to San Giorgio, moored
the gondola to great iron ring in the
water soaked steps that might once have
held a slave laden galley, and had sat down
TO watch the darkness slowly settle over
the dreaming city. Away of to the right
stood the Campanile, its cone shaped top
pink and gold, while behind, against the
deepening blue, rose it's almost twin tower.
The scene swoke all the old memories Of
the place and began talking to Espero,
who was stretched out on the marble steps
below me, of the older times when this
same harbor was full OF ships of every
CLINE, with sails Of gold and cargoes of
spice, and Of the great regattas, and the
two decked war barges with slaves double
banked rowing beneath; and from this to
the wonderful Bucentaur, the Doge's
barge, incrusted with gold like the model
we had seen at the arsenal the day before
rowed by members of the Arsenalotti-a
sort of guild or corporation formed OF the
workmen at the arsenal.
How every year occurred the ceremony
OF the espousal Of the Adriatic, and how
when the Bucentaur returned there was a
grand banquet, at which the Arsenalotti
dined at public expense, with the privilege
of carrying off everything on the table
even the linen. vessels and glass.-F. Hop

California began its slaughter OF the
yearling records in 1881. when Hinda
Rose, by Electioneer, out OF Beautiful
Bells, and therefore a full sister TO Bell
Bird, and the Buccaneer filly Pride
both beat Mamentos mark OF 2.56'4 the
Palo Alto mare trotting In 244. against
244L by Pride. Hnda Rose subsequently
reduced her record to 236l and for six
years IL stood at the top OF the list. In
1887 Sadie d., brown filly by Sherman's
Hambletonian. out OF Fanny Clay. by
American Clay. bred in Kentucky, lowered
the yearling record to 2S5a.. Palo Alto
resolved To win back the honor, and Nor
laine by Norval, a son of Eectioneer, out
Of Elaine, 2.20. a daughter Of Green Noun
tain Maid, considered the most likely
youngster at the farm, was put in train
ing. On November IL, 1887, Norlaine trot-
ted the Bay District track In 23lL Fire
robbed the turf OF this bright gem before
she had q chance to show her speed as a
two-year-old. but her record stood until
October IS. 1890, when Freedom, a son of
Sable Wilkes. trotted the Napa track In
22sA. Freedom was the first yearling to
enter the 23o list. and many persons said
that his record would stan4 for years.
This season it has been &aten repeat
edly on the new kte-shaped track at
Stockton. The Palo Alto flly Bell Bird,
foaled on March s, 1890, was the first to
lower It. trotting to a mark OF 226H on
October 81 when she was nineteen months
and sixteen days old. Marvin said at the
time that In his opinion Bell Bird could
take q record of 224 or better. She is,
however. a very capricious filly, difficult
to control, and at times will not carry her
great flight OF speed. This was n handi-
hat g.
let her retire with the record apparently
secured. George Valensin OF Valensin
Farm, Pleasonton, sent a number OF
youngsters, the get OF his premium
stallion Sidney. to Stockton In charge of
driver and trainer Millard Sanders, who
trained and drove the erratic Guy, 2lO1+,
to his record, about the same time that
the Palo Alto contingent arrived.
Frou Frou by Sidney, out Of Flirt,
by Buccaneer, an Iowa bred horse,
was started first, trotting a mile In
2.41 on October 81. The filly had regular
work, and improved so rapidly that on
November "A. a trlfie over o month later,
she eclipsed all previous records and
trotted q full mile In ZIG, knocking a
quarter of second of Bell Birds mark.
On this occasion the last quarter was
trotted at a 220 gait, and Sanders resolved
to try again. The game little flly was
equal to the occasion, lowering her record
to 225h. Frou Frou Is handsome chest
nut flly, fifteen hands high, and on the
day she trotted to her record weighed 625
pounds. Sanders, her driver weighed l65
pounds, which adds to the filly's perfor-
nance. Her disposition is perfect, and
she Is always level headed and courageous.
Frou Frou has three crosses to Rysdyk's
Hambletonian and one to Harry Clay.

Rope Climbing Made Easy.

A device patented by French inventor
Is designed to facilitate rope climbing.
while at the same time permitting the
climber to have free use Of his hands. The
apparatus consists Of two boards joined by
strong hinge. with hole passing through
both the hinge and the boards. The ex-
tremities of The boards are provided with
straps which can he fastened to the feet Of
the man using the device. The method Of
climbing by this apparatus is simple.
When the feet attached to the boards are
lifted the rope Is free, but the moment the
feet are pressed down on the two boards
the rope is firmly gripped
IL is necessary therefore only TO lift the
body by both hands as far as possible, and
then IL can he held by the hinged clamps
until another lift is made. BY the use Of
a belt to hold TIE body close TO the rope
the hands may be left free. This device IL
designed especially for the use Of firemen
and painters, also to serve a. a fire escape.

NEWS OF OLNEYVILLE.
Last Meeting of the Year Of the
Johnston Town Council.
LITTLE BUSINESS DONE.
Mishaps On And About the Square Yes
terday-Doctors Have an Unlucky
Day-Presentation to the Putnam

The Johnston Town Council met at the
council chamber yesterday afternoon, in
stead of today in order to allow the men
employed on the street department an
opportunity to draw their pay before
Christmas. In consequence of the in
ability of one or two of the members to be
present, the meeting did little else than
consider the highway bill.
The report of the committee on the
establishment of the Manton avenue grade
was approved and ordered recorded
A petition TO curb the easterly end of
Harlan street, from Barrows, was pre-
sented, and a committee appointed with
order of notice.
Overseer of Poor John Walsh then pre-
sented his report for the past year, which
was accepted. Councilman Colwell, who
resides in the vicinity of the poor farm,
was under the impression that it should
be self supporting Mr. Walsh explained
the present situation satisfactorily and
convinced the Council that at this june
ture at least it could not be self-support-
ing. The highway bill and other smaller
ones were ordered paid, after which the
meeting adjourned until the new year.
Mishaps.
Breakdowns seemed TO be in order yes
terday, and the doctors were lin it." A
physicians team collapsed about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon on Appleton street,
the spokes of one of the wheels giving
way and allowing the team 20 drop gently
TO the ground.
Another medical man, DR.. Pagan, had
left his team standing on Broadway while
he went into house TO assist in "a surgical
operation. The roadbed is, it would seem
at that particular point, wide enough for
two teams TO pass without collision, but
IL was proved otherwise by farmer boy
from Scituate. He was driving four
horse wagon, and catching the rear wheel
of the carriage in the hub of his ponder
Gus wheels it was turned upside down,
the horse being thrown and cut about the
legs. Nothing but pure negligence could
cause such an accident as this. for Broad
way is at any part sufficiently capacious
to admit half a dozen teams at the same
time. The fellows name is unknown.
The old Danielsonville stage coach, that
fossil of the primary period at last is be-
coming feeble and old. It also dropped on
Broadway yesterday afternoon about 4
o'clock, one of the wheels giving out. No
further damage was done.
Presentations.
The firemen at station Ia on Putnam
street were presented with handsome
set of one of the standard authors works
yesterday by Mr.. Thomas tUsgrUve. Also
an elegant set of celluloid checkers by
John Ward For these the firemen desire
TO extend their heartiest thanks.
Another presentation took place last
evening at San Souci's store. The clerks
presented to Mr.. Johnson, the junior
member of the firm, as a token of their es-
TEEN beautiful silk handkerchief OF
bright green color and large richly flaw
ored box of cigars, all made up into one.
He appreciates their kindness.

yEARlING RECORDS SINCE 1881,
The WonderfubTme Made by Horses
This Year.

The present year has been remarkable
for the onslaught on Father Time. All
records for one. two and five year olds,
the stallion record. and the champion
record have been surpassed. the breeders
find themselves asking the question,
What is the limit OF speed at the trotting
gait?" California has for some years had
almost a monopoly on early speed. Some
breeders urged that Electioneer's blood
was responsible for the superb showing
made by youngsters, nearly all OF the
baby trotters being by that sire or direct
ly descended from him. but when Sidney's
get stepped along and took fast records
the GLORIOUS climate" was said to have a
great deGl to do with 1t.
