Mcnrana Elsctrooutad.

SING SING, N. Y, Feb. Sat 11:26 this
morning the black flag shot up the staff at
Sing Sing, announcing to those outside
that Charles McIlvaue, aged twenty one,
had been shocked to death, or electrocuted
IN prison for the murder of Groceryman
Luce 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 re.
belious. One day he broke his bedstead
and used one iron leg in assaulting his
keeper It took three men to subdue him.
As punishment McIlvane was placed in q
dark cell several days
When Wood, who was executed last July,
passed by McIlyane's cell on his way to the
death chair, McIlvane cried out to him,
goodbye, damn you, you'll be in hell be-
fore am" There has been a change in
McIlvane's demeanor since the last hope
vanished and this morning he was SUBJ
dued and gentle. He spent most of the
night reading the Bible and talking with
Father Creden, his spiritual adviser. At
midnight, the warden read the death war;
rant TO the condemned man. The doomed
man listened in an Indifferent way and
made no remark whatever at its close. He
was not visibly affected. A short time af-
forwards he retired to awaken at 6 this
morning. Rev. Father ]. 3. Creden was
then at his side.

breakfast, consisting of dry toast and a
bowl of milk. He appeared to be in good
spirits and showed no signs Of weake ming.
The doomed man entered the death cham
Der AZ IL O'Clock with the priest, himself
carrying before him the crucifix and muir
muring prayers.
Many prominent medical men and re-
porters from the leading associations and
newspapers were IN the chamber awaiting
the arrival Of the victim of electrocution.
1t was decided by DR.. Landy and DR..
Warde of Albany to make q slight change
in the plan OF applying the electric current
to the body, not that the former plan was
not success, but by placing the hands of
the victim in cells or jars containing salt
water and making contact through the
hands and head, the action Of the heart
would be stopped much quicker.
The first contact was made in the manner
above described at 11:13. The duration of
the contact was forty-five seconds.
A few seconds after the current was cut
or by order of DR.. Mcdonald 'froth issued
from the mouth, ana almost simultaneously
there was quick gargliug expiration and
as quick recovery, like poisoning or the
strangling Of water rushing down the
wrong way. The current was at once re-
applied to the head and calf Of the right
leg and continued for forty-fve seconds,
after which the subject was pronounced
dead. As compared with Kemmler's kill
ing, that of McIlyane was much less dis
treSsing

mob visited our jail last night and de-

Vited them in. The mob, numbering about
sixty disguised men, rushed in and de-
manded the negro Tom Mitchell, Hollands
slayer Paris told them he was not there
and that they had slipped him away on
Sunday morning. To this the leader re-
piled by calling Paris 4 Cd liar. Paris
told them to search for their man, which
they proceeded to do.
Paris says the negroes in jail burned
paper before their faces to show that they
were not the men wanted, and after dill
gent search for the right man they left the
Jail in disgust and rage, leaving the rope
with the knot in perfect working order in
the jail yard. However, before dispensing,
they called upon Sam Beauchamp, the
negro who made the exulting talk over
Hollands death, and would have done him
violence had he not begged and prayed for
his life with tears in his eyes.
An officer said this morning that the
negro was in the cell at the time the mob
came, but was hung on peg with a large
overcoat over him, and was removed
shortly after the mob left, 2 o'clock this
