ESPECIAL CABLE TO THE NEWS,

VIENNA, March 17.--Frank Schneider,
murderer of servant girls, was executed
to-day. The scene was most horrible.
He had to be almost lifted TO the scaffold.
Schneider shrieked out rs the executioner
took hold of him: "Have mercy, my
God will tell all"
The minister urged the wretched man
TO think of heaven. Then the execu-
tioneer, taking tight hold OF Schneider,
raised him three steps to spike that was
fixed to a stake. The spike came TO
sharp point, after the manner OF the Turks
in impaling criminals.
The executioner and his assistants lifted
up the tortured being. while he kept up
his shrieks for mercy. They held his
limbs apart and impaled him alive on the
spike, then pressed him down until the
spike had entered six inches. While
Schneider was undergoing this horrible
torture, an assistant of the executioner
held his legs and another held his arms.
The chief executioner pressed his hands
over Schneider's mouth and nostrils,
smothering his shrieks until the wretch
died, after about four minutes of agony.
A crowd of witnesses were present in the
Jail yard and were Mortified at the spec
tacle.

FOR A PURE BALLOT.
The Republicans to Shut Down on
Fraud at the Polls.
Mr.. BROWN WARMLY SUPPORTED
The New York World" Pipes on the
"Journsl Brennan Kicks-Ru-
mors OF Democratic War Heffernan
Says He Didn't-As to 4" Harm ony."

The Republican members of the Legisla-
greater purity of the ballot. The frequency
with which the ballot box has been stuffed
by the Democrats in the town Of Lincoln,
the complaints of fraud in other sections
Of the State, particularly in two of the
wards in Pawtucket, have led to the de-
termination on the part of the Republicans
TO put an end to the count
ing of ballots not properly in town as we'll
as State elections. In the House OF Repre-
sentatives to-day. Representative Lowe, OF
Providence introduced bill for an act To
secure the purity of the ballot.
The act calls for the purchase by the
State, and the use in every voting pre-
cinct on all occasions when aD election is
held OF an automatic registering ballot
box. rhe type Of box that will probably
be selected is the one now in use in Boston,
in Kansas City and which has been CON
tracted for by the State Of New Hamp-
shire.
II is easy of action, has very little ma
chnery attached to it, and cannot be
fooled with. When the ballot is placed
in the slot the warden operates crank
and the ballot is drawn in, and across its
face is stamped the name OF the city and
the number of the precinct. At the same
time gong rings, notifying all in the
polling place that ballot has gone into
the box, and on one end OF the box train
OF wheels indicates the total number of
ballots cast.
If ballot is not placed in the slot the
crank can be turned for an indefinite num-
Der Of times, but the register is not oper.
ated neither is the bell rung n more
than one ballot should by accident or de-
sign he placed in the slot the top one only
is stamped and all others are discarded as
fraudulently cast when the box is opened
for the count. The box is known as the
the authorities of Boston as a dead-sure
catch for professional suffers.
City Clerk Clarke is also advocating the
use OF the new box for this city.

THAT BOORO."
The New York "Norld" Advertising
scheme-The Journal Tapped.

The New York "Worid" Advertising
scheme-The Journal Tapped.
A "booro " of political misinformation
has been started in the Narragansett
hotel. The New York World is running
it, osteusibly for the purpose of carrying
Rhode Island for the Democracy this
April and next November; but in reality
it Is but very gauzy scheme to advertise
the greatest blow-hard on circulation in
the country.
The "booro - is fraud 1t is of cheap
pine, venured with deceit and s aimed with
the dark extract OF tahy. II is crazy
legged and won't stand excepting it is
leaned against the wall.
The World has three special men in the
local field. They have been sent here TO
get trustworthy information for the edi-
fcation of the Democrats Of Rhode Island
and 70 help them carry the State.
The first thing they did was to drill
hole in the Journal office, tap aud pipe il
aud draw on that Office for Information.
The initial instalment Of moose" was so
rank that Gen. Brennan dropped in on
the "booro' aud gave the correspondents
to understand that they had better give
up moonshlrie on a shutter politics and
call on real Democrats Tor information.
Geu. Brennan said: We've had enough
of Z lat kind of staff, and the quicker the
Editor of the journal gets home and shuts
off the misinformation furnished by The
boy politician the better it will be. There's
nothing that was published this moraing,
SO far as the Democratic party is con
cerned, that is true.
"rhgre's no walk-over. The State cleo
tion is going 10 be close: but If the Re
publicans had put up any other man than
Senator Aldrich. we would have done mp
the parry. MIR. AldriCh is the strongest
man the Republican party has in its
ranks"

p..t,tut,on s,s,.. Description.

PHILADELPHIA, March IT, The COM
mittee OF citizens sent to Russia to super
intend the distribution of a cargo of
-four and provisions from this port to the
starving Russians, reports that the des-
titution in the Czar'o domains battles des-
cription. Russia is deeply grateful for
assistance. The stories Of distress are
not exaggerated and the situation is be-
coming worse. The committee advises
that more assistance be sent. A hundred
thousand horses have starved in Noronaj
province. The committee asks for corn
TO keep the horses alive so that farming
can be continued.

j. A. FOSTER e COMPAN'
Broad D0rrance and Middle Streets.

the NEWS yesterday was bombshell
thrown into the Democratic ranks, and
the leaders find it difficult to hide their
CONSERVATION and chagrm at the Mayors
words. Pond has large number OF
friends in this city who propose 10 see
him sat down upon without making
vigorous protest, and the Assembly ticket
will be terribly knitted at the polls. Many
Democrats will vote the Republican ticket
and have avowed their intention OF cast
ing n ballot for the Prohibition nominees
on the ticket.
Another man who has sore head is
James j. Nolan, the bright and enterpris-
ing correspondent OF the Providence
telegram. Up 90 forty-eght hours before
the city convention was held NolGn was
slated for Heffernan's place on the Assem-
bly ticket, but for reasons best known TO
the party managers he was dropped at
late hour and James Murray placed in his
stead, and Nolan secured as sop the
empty honors as chairman Of the city
convention.
Nolan is president of the Christian Doc
trine Society, which is composed largely
of young Democrats, and isa verv popular
young man. The unceremonious drop
given leaves many sore heads among the
younger blood OF the Democratic party.
The banner Democratic ward of the
city, the Third, is entirely without repre-
sentation on the Assembly ticket, and the
boys are kicking about that.
II is rumored that Col O'Reilly thinks
John j. is rushing ahead a little too fast,
and fears he may be obliged to repose on
the shelf. Besides, the Colonel is a good
friend of Pond, and il is said thinks
Heffernan has treated him rather meanly.
Fifteen or twenty years ago Mayor Pond
was Republican, good and true, and
possibly this rupture may yet secnre his
return To his former faith aud allegiance.
The party manager referred to in the
interview with Mayor Pond in last even
ing's NEWS who was reported as saying
"he was tired OF Juggling Mayor Pond
around" was Alderman John j. Heffer-
nan chairman of the Democratic City
Committee of Woousocket, and that gen-
tleman has this to say in reply: 1.-The
report that l have said in the
presence of certain Democratic bosses,
that / was tired of Juggling Mayor
Pond around is entirely false. Mayor
Pond has done work for the Democratic
party in this city and State which will
never he forgotten, and have shown my
recognition of this fact and my friend
ship for him on so many occasions that L
supposed it would not be questioned.
That was all the candidate for Secretary
Of State honors had to say regarding the
Democratic rupture.

Carroli's Bureau.
Next Saturdays Democratic harmony
meeting recalls the conference which was
held last year for the same purpose. Lish
Bucklin, Carroll's good man Me-Too, sent
out fifty invitations TO the faithful fol-
lowers of the Carroll Brennan Miller COM
bine. The recipients OF tho cards came;
but Tall Tim HefTernan got on to tho
place where the invitations were printed,
ordered fifty or n hundred more
and filled the hall with the really faithful
ones, among whom were McNally, Mon
Afghan, Comstock, the mugwump, the
loud-chanting orator, and others
Imagine jacks discontinue. From
"blushing" Buclxlin he turned TO placat-
ink McNally. Miller talked ncu culpd,
quoting from the confession, only to be fol-
lowed by McNally with ct ncnoS ipducas

This so broke Miller up that he turned
a confused face and tongue to Mr.. Conaty,
asking n translation. which he got thus:

and yourself Brennan, good Lord deliver
us
How they howled. For fully ten min
utes there was more harmony in the hall
than was ever heard in the rendition Of
the Anvil Chorus. Will Saturdays meet
ing have as much peace and love in IL?
The London Club people wonder why IL
is that Hughcv chooses the Narragausett
