MUsCATINE News-Tribune: Where
the prohibition and tariff issues respec-
lively controlled in the late election is
easily proven by the returns. The 10
river counties which this year give
the democrats 20,994 plurality, in 1888
gave them $500. The democratic gain
is 12.715. This can be put to the credit
of the prohibition question. The other
counties of the state, interior. which
gave 40 313 republican plurality in 1888,
this year went republican by but 12,715
This is republican loss and q democratic
gain of q, sos, and in the main is to be
ascrihed to the tariff question. This is
what the democrats have accomplished
in the agricultural counties where the
corn field vote" controls. They have
gained two votes IL the corn fields to one
in the river cities.

IN the recent campaign the New York
Herald offered prize of 500 to the per-
son who should most closely predict the
actual plurality OF the successful candi-
date for governor of New York. There
were tens of thousands competitors, but
the prize was won by Michael Moss,
described as a hard working journeyman
carpenter, whose envelop was handed in
Oct. II, and found TO contain the exact
figures of Governor-e Fowlers' plur-
ality, 1887.

mo more so than the remarks OF the
speaker" Crisp calmly replied.
This remark touched the car like a
hot iron. His eyes flashed, his cheeks
flushed. and he brought his gavel down
with dolblefold vengeance.
1.-The gentleman from Georgia will take
his seat, he roared.
Crisp remained as calm as May morn
ing. Unlike many of his colleagues when
suffering from similar tyrsnnical out
bursts, he recognized the admenities OF
the situation.
Certainly, the gentleman from Geor-
gle will lake his seat be replied. with
perfect composure. but he will rise,
resent. and reply to any similar intima'
ton from the chair here or elsewhere.

Grisb and Reed.

One OF the scenes in the Fifty first
house in which Speaker Crisp and ex-
Speaker Reed. then in the chair, figured
is thus described by Amos ]. Cummings,
in newspaper letter. Mr.. Cummings
is member Of congress from New York:
The clerk can read the journal with
out objection" said the man from Maine
Il object" replied Mr.. Crisp. such
action is unprecedented. Such sugges>
tion has never been made in the history of
congress"
well" replied the speaker with some
acerbity. "irs time that it was made"
At this the republicans raised a shout
of encouragement. Crisp remained
standing. perfectly imperturbsble, until
the tumult had subsidized.
That is the judgment of the chair, he
then replied. The chair is not the mas
ter OF the house, but its servant. He
must obey its order"
Reed was white with rage. Democrats
broke into applause in their turn, and
the republicans cried for the regular
order.
The gentleman from Georgia need
not recommence," the speaker threaten
Ingly observed as soon as quiet was re-
stored.
With great dignity Mr.. Crisp replied:
The gentleman will insist upon his
rights. No tyrsnt can take them from
him."
At this the republicans fairly scream ed
for the regular order. Mr.. Rowell, chair
man OF the committee on elections, OBJ
tanned recognition.
Il make the point of order" he
shouted, that the remarks of the gentle
man from Georgia are out OF order"

THE LAST CHAPTER.

Quick Lime Follows Electricity for Sing
Sing Trio-Smiler's pody Taken to His
Relatives.
Warden Brown, of Sing Sing prison,
Wednesday afternoon closed the last
chapter of the famous electrocution SEN
sation by burying the bodies of Jugiro,
Slocum and Wood side by side in the
prison cemetery on the hill just out
side the prison walls At noon the body
of Smiler was placed in an express
wagon and driven to the depot, where
the box was transferred to the 1870 p.
m. train for New York. His remains
will be buried in Woodlawn ceme-
terry. The bodies of Slocum, Jugiro
and Wood were gathered up, and nude
as when born, were placed in rude pine
coffins. Before the flesh was placed
in the wooden boxes a bushel Of quick
lime was thrown into each of the re-
ceptacles. On top of the quicllime the
remains of the dead were placed and on
top of the remains more quicklime
was spread. The boxes were
then lowered into the graves, which
had been dug for them by convicts early
Wednesday morning. The earth was
then shoveled in upon the boxes and
the graves leveled off SO that no traces
should be left of them. There were
no religious ceremonies, Us the
law prohibits any such demonstration.
AS soon as the bodies were removed
from the morgue convicts were at once
set at work cleaning up the death
chamber and putting it in order for the
next electrocution

The Kaiser Embarrasses the Prince.

Emperor William, at the state dinner
in Windsor put the prince of Wales in
an embarrassing position by asking
him some questions about naval mat
ters, which the prince was entirely un-
able to respond. The kaiser also tried
to obtain some military intelligence
from the prince, but, it is said, found
the Royal field marshal hopelessly ig-
norant on such topics. A well-known
nobleman has cruelty suggested that
the prince would have been at home on
baccarat The kaiser, it is thought,
takes malicious pleasure in politely
sounding the depth of the princes ig-
norance on prominent public topics
However, to all appearances, they are
very friendly.

rors and fancy bric-a-brac to
the value of about $4,000 The

ried to place of safety by the Sal
wage Corps, but in tearing the pictures
off the wall and carrying them out
through the water q large number was
seriously damaged. The building is
damaged to considerable extent by
the falling of the east wall, which went
through to the cellar sweeping all
before it. Next to Pape Bros. >

SECOND AUTOPSY.
Black hinged Eyes Stripped Of
Their Skin on Snailer's Body.
Played and Pnrboiled Legs and Blisterod
Face-Such the Result of Elec.
trOcution.

Thursday morning the result Of q sec
ond autopsy held by Drs Culver, Rod
enstein and Nook on the body Of Har-
ris A. Sniler, one of the four men cleo
trocuted at Sing Sing Tuesday, was
made known. To the unprofessional
mind the condition of the Lody was hor-
rifying, and on slight examination it
seemed as If the man had died from roast
ing. The black-ringed eyes, stripped
of their skin, the fayed and parboiled
leg and the mysterious scars on the
nose and chin, were all suggestive of q
horrible torture. But when the visible
marks were more closely examined it
was easy to see that they were merely
superficial, for they did not extend be-
yond the outer skin. In describing the
body as it lay in Undertaken Hulberg's
establishment, New York city, the
reporter says: 1.-THE features were
composed, but painfully dis
colored. The shaved head and
nnshaved chin added to make the body
repellant The retreating forehead
and the discolored places about the eyes
added to the sinister and forbidding as
pect of the face. ''In seeking a place
where the skull was thin for the plac-
ing of the head electrode the execu-
tioner had clasped it across the eyes.
The fierce, white-hot current, which
set bucket of water boiling in a
breath, had scared and stripped
the skin in horrible way, leav-
ing the raw, red surface cults ex-
posed to view. At the edges strips Of
the epidermis, the outer skin, were
curled up and dried like parchment,
and easily came off when touched by
the finger. A piece of skin had come
off from the bridge of the nose, and
there was small scar near the chin.
How could 1t get there? When the
right leg was barred another painful
sight was disclosed The lower elec.
trode, concave pad of brass six inches
by three, or thereabouts, had been
strapped on just below. the right
knee. Its mark was there, for the
skin beneath had been stripped away
and raw-looking place had run up the
under side of the leg past the knee
joint This latter was as mysterious
as the marks on the chin and nose. The
New York Herald had an interview
with Dr. Ira II. Van Fiesen, Of Brook
lyn, who assisted at the autopsies in
Sing Sing, in which he says: 'The skin
on the leg was burned and also the
cuticle on the forehead where the cur
rent first entered the bodies. But I
do not suppose any pain, was felt from
that"

La Liberte says: English newspa-

inspire, indulge in protestations of

is superfluous. France knows that in
case Of war England, though she has
not formally entered the Dreibund,
would side with our enemies. We can
not rely upon her impartiality."
