A CELEBRATED CASE.

The jury in the case of the state OF
New York VS. Ameer Ben Ali, alias
~s.Frenchy," brought in a verdict OF
murder in the second degree.
Some months ago, in DON "a of the
East River, New York, hotel, there was
discovered one morning a most CHASTITY
spectacle.
1t was the body of a woman. 1t had
been cut and slashed in a fearful man t
ner.
The mangled mass of humanity was
all thaC remained mortal of a woman
of loose and dissolute character known
rs sold Shakespeare"
The murderer, for it was evidently
murder, had left no clues to his bloody
work as he thought, and to the casual
observer there was none.
Inspector Byrnes, chief of the New
York detectives took charge of the case.
While,there was that mystery abou-
the case that made it attractive, there
was little left to base a hope upon that
the perpetrator of the fendish deed
could be brought to justice.
In London a man had committed
many murders similar to this one and
had escaped detection from month to
month and is yet at large, notwithstand-

LEXINGTON Mo-, July 2, 1891.-At
an informal meeting of the ex-confed-
erates of the vicinity of Lexington, the
undersigned were appointed II commit
tee to call a meeting of the executed
crate soldiers of Lafayette county, for
the purpose of effecting II permanent
organization. Nearly all of the coun-
ties III the state have organizations of
the kind, and yet Lafayette county,
which has been selected as the place
for the home of eX-confederate invalids,
has no organization whatever. 1t is
true that we have not been behind in
giving material aid; but we have had
no concert of action.
A quarter of a century has transpired
since we laid down our arms, and we
are growing old. Many have already

only following the prcccptS of the
golden rule. Those, who from II source
of unreasonable prejudice remained alb
sent, may know that their absence was
much more preferable than their pres
cnce. There are enough brave men
who wore the blue enlisted in assisting
the gray, without calling upon those
who still cherish the fcudal luminosity
Of nearly thirty years ago, to help the
old soldiers. Keep your gold, if you
have any; say your kind words to

the old soldiers do not desire aid from
unwilling hearts or hands. But, if you
expect to get to heaven, you will find
your hatred and luminosity must be

gold cannot pave the way to heaven,

ISSUES DEFINED.

The democratic party need not 60 to
Wall street for instructions in running
the next campaign.
1t is pretty clear already that the
republicans must make a campaign of
explanation and apology. They are
on the defensive, and must repel the
assaults that will continually be made
upon them.
Their policies have proven so disas-
trous, their management so ruinous,
that it is going to take a good deal of
oratory to set them right before the
people. They are aware of this fact
and are preparing for the struggle.
There are four million farmers in
this country-as hard headed a set of
men as ever breathed the breath of
life. For some months past they have
been asking where on earth that big
surplus has gone, and why we are now
brought face to face with a deficit.
They see that some men can make un-
told millions in a few years, and that
favoring, not to say corrupt, legislation
has helped them to do it, while the
land tiller, with his magnificent crops,
his steady toll, his honest patriotism.
is rocking the cradle of a mortgage and
anxiously watching as his hard earnings
slip through his fingers year by year.
Seeing this the farmer is restless, and
Is asking questions. He is becoming
skeptical asko whether things are in
the best possible shape, and begins to
wonder If a little change would not
help matters. He is discontinued with
his lot AS he well may be.
There are millions of other wage
earners, not farmers, who are in the
same condition the tiller of the soil is.
These two elements are together now
They promise to remain together
through the coming campaign. What
a turning over of old things. would
there be should they move together, wo
together and vote together!
Fortunately the democratic campaign
is in reach of all these. The party car
make them its strongest allies. All il
has to do is to stand where it is on the
tariff, and keep away from Wall street
when it talks of finance.

EIectrocution i'm New York.

Four men were officially killed by
electricity in Sing-Sing prison, New
York Tuesday morning.
One of the Y witnesses briefly tells
the story of the execution as follows:
About 4 O'Clock the witnesses and
jurors were let into the north chamber.
The experts had previously examined
everything and said they were satisfied
the machinery of death would work
perfectly. At 4 O'Clock Slocum walked
into the death room accompanied by
Father Creeden. He seemed to be
making II strenuous effort to keep his
composure. He had received Father
Creeden's last offices and had declared
himself ready to die. lie was then
firmly strapped into the chair and the
death current applied. Death was in
Simultaneous. There was a sudden con-
traction of the nerves and then all was
over.
Smiler followed next. The Rev. Mr..
Edgerton cheered him up. Before he
had time to think he was strapped into
the chair and in an instant later the
current of electricity was flashed through
him that sent him into eternity. The
next to follow was Wood, the negro.
He had been worked up to Il religious
enthusiasm and il was while in this
frame of mind that he was fastened
into the chair and killed by the fatal
shock. Jugigo was stubborn to the
last. There was the usual ferociOus
look on his face. He was closely
guarded and short work made of him.
There was no apparent hitch in the
four executions and they were pro-
nounced a success. The deaths all
appeared To the observers to be pain
less. Death came like a flash. 1t was
one awful shock and then oblivion.
The doctors took charge of the four
bodies Immediately after death, began
an autopsy to discover us far as posi-.
BILE how rapid had been the killing and
the precise effect produced.
The approximate time of turning on
and off the current in each case was /:
Slocum, $40; Smiler, $40; Wood,
$50; Jugigo, 6:05.
The electrodes were not applied as
in the Kemmler case TO the top of the
s iull and the base of the spine but were
bound to the foreheads of the con
demned men and the calves of Their
legs. The current was turned on in
each ease for 20 seconds. The voltage
was about 1000 and 1000. In each
caseathere were apparent evidences OF
revival as in the Kemmler case and IN
each the current was turned on IL sec.
ond time. In spite of the fact that the
sponges were kept constantly wet al
of the executed men were burned by
the current, and especially about the
calves of the legs. The medical mel
present agree that death came on In,
first contact and that the seeming revi
val was merely a reflex muscular
action. None of the witnesses wer,
overcome by fright and all of them who
have spoken have made the statement
that the electrodes were successful an,
that death in all eases was %instantane
Gus and painless.
