New York's Shocking Way.

SING SING, N. Y, Feb. Sat 11:2O
this morning the black flag shot up
the staff at Sing Sing, announcing to
those outside that Charles McIlvane,
aged q, had been shocked to death,
or electrocuted, in the prison for the
murder of Groceryman Luca, in
Brooklyn, two years ago. McIlvane
was known as the toughest man in
Sing Sing, being sullen. ugly
and defiant and at times he was
openly rebellious. One day he broke
his bedstead and used one iron leg in
aesaulting q keeper. 1t took three
men to subdue him. AS punishment
McIllvane was placed In a dark cell
for several days. When Wood, who
was executed last July, passed Ne.
Ilvane's cell, on his way to the death
chair, McIlvahe cried out to him:
Goodbye, damn you, you'll be in
hell before 1 am" There has been a
change in McIlvane's demeanor
since the last hope vanished,
and this morning he was sui dued and
gentle. He spent most Of the night
reading the bible and talking with
Father Creeden, spiritual advisor. A
midnight the warden read the death
warrant to the condemned man. He
listened in an Indifferent man
ner aud made no remark what
ever. At it's close he was
not visably affected. A short time
afterwards, he retired, to awaken at
six this morning. Rev. Father J. b.
Creeden was then at his side. After
prayer McIlvane partook of q light
breakfast, consisting OF dry toast
and a bowl of milk. He appeared to be
in good spirits and gave no sign OF
weakening. The doomed man enter
ed the death chamber at eleven
o'clock with the priest, himself carry.

muring the usual prayers. Promi-
nent medical men from the leading
press associations and newspapers
were in the chamber awaiting the
arrival of the victim of electrocution.
1t was decided by DR.. Landy and
DIR. Ward, of Albany, to make a
slight change in the plan of supplying
the electro current TO the body, not
that the former plan was not a sue.
cess, but by placing the hands OF
the victim IN cells or jars con-
tanning solution of salt water and
making the contact through the
hands and head, the action of the
heart could be stopped much quicker.
The first contact was made IN the
manner above described at ILLS

As seconds. A few seconds after the
current was cut off by order OF
DR., Mcdonald. Froth issued from

there was quick gurgling exhala-

A Democratic View.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Blaine's de-
oIination is looked upon as an indica-
ton that he sees the handwriting on
the wall and recognizes the chances
of republican success next year as
very slim.
He has been waiting to see whether
or not there was reason to believe the
republicans could win and the fact
that after so long waiting be
withdraws without even giving his
party comforting words as to
it's success, is looked upon
as an evidence that he has little hope
of success next time Most people of
both parties accept this as final.

the two met and stood aghast. Each

England's Prayer Answered.


The Christian Million, published
in London, Eng, in its edition of
November 10, contained an article
on the Presidential election from
which we clip paragraph:
Englishmen in general, and Her
Majesty's Cabinet Ministers in par
ticular, anxiously hope that Mr..
Cleveland may, for the second time,
be the choice of the American peo-
pie. Since the civil war, when the
upper and ruling classes in this
country sympthized with the South
and manifested an eagerness to
"break up the Union" Ameri-
can feeling against Great Britain
has been very strong. 1t has
shown itself in many ways, chiefly
in a series of protective tariffs de-
signed to shut out English manu-
features. The effect of the loss OF
our best customers has been to de-
moralize English trade. The half
or wholly savage nations to whom
we now export goods demand arti-

They pay for them-as rule-so
long as they can borrow money
from MS to do so. To regain the
export trade to the States has there

of intelligent English traders and
politicians, and Mr.. Cleveland il

tho old free trade relations. Blu

Smooth Talk,

One dealer or manufacturer urges
that the Republican Senate should
heed 1.-THE imperative commands of
,shesc'antry' by passing the Springer
vi, and "the quicker the agony is
over the better for the country"
A prominent wool merchant, A. d.
Juilliard, strong supporter of the
Mckinley act, admits that 40 per
cent. duties, as provided by the
Springer bill, would afford suffi-
cient protection on many classes Of
goods. The senior member of the
wool firm of Philips & Kunhardt,
also supporter Of the Mckinley act,
Gays that with free wool, free dye
stuffs and every thing that enters
into our textile fabrics on q parity
with foreign manufacturers we
could beat the world in the manu-
facture of goods" The Boston
agent of the George A. Gilbert
Manufacturing Company says the

Public Sentiment.

A correct public sentiment upon
all moral and social questions is a
necessity in every community. Such
sentiment carefully established
and well guarded, will be one of the
strongest restraints against the vio-
lation of right principles by evil
doing.
If certain course of conduct or
a certain kind of business is not re-
garded as respectable by the best
thinking people in town, compar-
atively few will care to IRISH the loss
of their responsibility by acting
counter to this sentiment, even for
the sake of promised gain.
The old saying about "birds of
feather" rarely fails to hold true.
The Sabbath breakers, the profane,
the indolent, the immoral and the
Incorporate will not long remain in
any community where the public
sentiment is so set against them, as
to put them beyond the line of re-
spectabillty. Persons who respect
themselves and wish to hold place
in the esteem of those about them
will be slow to adont course of
conduct which effects their good
standing among their neighbors
and townsmen.

A Dead Man Running an Express

A Dead Man Running an Express
Train.
ELKToN, Nd, Dec. 15.-An eye
witness gives some interesting par
ticulars concerning the death of
Benjamin Strickland. the engineer
Of the Washington express train on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad, Saturday even.
big Though the cause of his
death is still only conjectural, the
Wtt is the engineer continued at
his post and run his train to Will
mington after he was dead. The
train started out of Broad Street
Station at good speed, with instruc
tons to the engineer to make good
time, as the express was Is or 20
minutes late. The train went
n ,c.r at gss,,iyi I Ia: till at Chester
the enginee. discovered a hot box
under his cab. He told the fire.
man they would attend to it at
Wilmington. From Chester he
keep going faster and faster, stop
ping for nothing, running into one
block and out of another, all the
time making greater speed. The
train whirled on through the draw
north of Wilmington and into the
suburbs, when the fireman looking
up asked the engineer to slacken
up, and found he was dead, stand
ing upright with his hand still on
the bar. 1t is supposed he was
struck on the forehead by mail pro-
jectors or something else while
looking out of the cab window with
his hand on the bar, but was ole
to regain his upright position and
at the Same time gave the bar pull.
which sent the train onward at full
speed. 1t was required of the train
to wait at certain point for fast
freight, but the requirement was
not complied with. That the ex-
press reached Wilmington safely
was a miracle. OF course, when
the fireman found the engineer was
dead. he took the locomotive in
hand and brought the adventure to
a safe conclusion. This history of
a remarkable incident in railroad
ing is related by gentleman who
was on the train, and who took the
trouble to inform himself of the
facts in the case.

The National Highway Commission.
A bill was passed by the Senate
at the last session of Congress pro-
viding for national highway COM
mission. The bill is on the House
calendar, its advocates hope to have
it up for consideration at an early
date, and there is good reason to
expect its passage. In that event a
commission will be created of two
Senators, five Congressman and five
citizens for the purpose of instigat-
ing general inquiring into the
condition of highways in the United
States and the best means for their
improvement. The best method
also Of securing nm exhibit ut the
Chicago Exposition is to be part
of the commissions labors.
The work proposed by this meas
ure is principally one Of education
If the law it passed an Investigation
will be made in various parts Of the
country. The condition of the
highways and the methods in vogue
for their improvement will be SET
down in formal report, as will also
the means to construct new roads
at the least expense. These facts
will be widely disseminated, read
and reflected upon, and they will
add perceptibly to the growing SEN
timent in favor of improved roads.
This measure does not contem-
plate national supervision of
roads, unless the commission should
conclude to recommend such Il
course i'll its report. On the con-
trary, it is likely that state or county
supervision will be found best suited
to the conditions which prevail in
this country. 1t has been suggested
that the government might appro-
priately undertake the construction
of a few highways between the Ma
tional Capitol and other cities, to
serve as examples of high grade
road building and as basis of
scientific system of highways whose
ramifications would finally extend
to all parts of the country.
But the commission which it is
to create would have moth
ing to do with this. 1t would SIM
ply inaugurate a Campaign of edu-
cation" so to speak, whose benefits
would be far-reaching and beneficial
to the people. The bill might be
appropriately passed.
