DEATH BY ELECTRICITY.
Successful Execution of Tice at the
Auburn IN " Prison.

SucCeSSfut GXccutiOn Ol 1lCc dC the
Auburn IN. " Prison.
Joseph L. Tice, the Rochester wife muir
derer, was executed by electricity at $3.50
o'clock few mornings ago in Auburn en-.
" Prison.
The execution is considered a great sue
cess. There was nothing revolving about it.
The witnesses saw no burning of flesh, no
exhalation of air from the lungs, no strug-
Cling of the victim. The murderer met his
fate calmly. He was apparently unmoved
while being strapped in the chair, and he
had nothing to say at the last.
The electric current was turned into the
body four times, each contact being brief.
The physician IN charge believed that better
results would be obtained in this way than
with two long contacts. The complete time
of contact was fifty seconds.
At the request of DR.. Daniels Drs. Baker
and Irvine examined the body. They said
there was no pulsation whatever. Tice was
dead. The other physicians also examined
the body little later. All agreed that Tice
had passed into eternity the instant the first
contact was made A close examination of
the boiy showed no marks or burns upon it.

LYNCHED IN THE CITY.
Hanged to a Telegraph Pole in the
Centre of Little Rock

Henry James. mulatto. twenty-five years
old, employed about the house of Charles
Johnston, at Little Rock. Ark, assaulted the
five-year-old daughter of the latter during
the temporary absence of the family. He

At 9 O'Clock at nighta crowd of 1000 men
surrounded the jail.
The mob broke opes the gates, secured
the prisoner, and started with him to the
residence of Mr.. Johnston, where he was
identified.
The mob then marched 10 Fifth and Main
streets, in the very heart of the city, op-
posite the Masonic Temple. James at first
denied his guilt, but finally admitted it. A
rope was thrown across the arm of large
telegraph pole, and James was soon swinging
in mid-air. He was no sooner drawn up
than the mob opened 6rs on him and his
body was riddled with btllets.

FLOODED BY A WATEROPOUT.
Terrible Loss Of Life in a Hun
garian Coal Mine.
Scores Of Miners Drowned Like
Rats in a Pit.

Dispatches from Fuenfkirchen, in Hum
gary. say that waterspout burst over the
mines near the city, few days ago. and
flooded them, and that between eighty and
100 miners, if not more have been drowned.
The food came shortly after noon. The
atmosphere had been heavy and the temper
ature high all the morning. An hour before
the waterspout burst the wind, which had
been from the south, shifted to the east and
drove up over the mountains near Peesva-
rad huge mass of clouds. at first yeliowish
gray but quickly deepening to dead black. !.
The clouds were whirled along the crest OF
the mountains by the wind, which rose to
gale, until over the mountains sklrtlng the
coal fields on the north they had assumed
the form of an enormous cone, with its apex
almost resting on the mountain top.
The men at the mouth of the pits ceased
work, and two gangs of men from the pit
nearest the mountain became alarmed and
refused to descend. They started for their
homes to wait for the storm to blow over.
Suddenly the wind shifted to the north,
the darkness increased and the cone was
swept directly over the collieries. 1t burst
a moment later and the water came down in
deluge, sweeping the men from their feet,
wrecking the shantieS and pozring in floods
down the shafts.
Large buildings were swept from their
foundations, the roofs were crushed in and
furniture and tools were carried through
shattered doors and windows by the wind
and water.
Several men standing in the pit entrances
disappeared in The first rush of the food, and
were supposed to have been carried down the
shaft with the water and wreckage.
In the mines the full force of men were at
work. The total number was said to ap-
proximate 300 or 400. They had absolutely
no warning.
The lower galleries in several mines were
said to have been completely flooded, all
though the water did not rise to the upper
galleries.
In one pit there were fifteen dead; in
another seven; in another nine. The
volume of water broke with rushing
report that alarmed the whole city, and
within thirty minutes thousands of men and
women were hurrying out to the scene of
destruction.
Volunteers were called for at all the pits,
and men from the night shifts were sent
down the shafts, which had besn left reason
ably safe, to rescue their comrades.
The first descent was made in the mine
where about fifteen men were at work on
the lowest level. The men in the upper gall
leries were found uninjured and were carried
to the top.
Nobody in the lowest gallery was alive to
tell the story. The mine was flooded at that
level, and several bodies were found floating
in the water and were sent I'D.

JOHN s. BARBOUR.
Virginia's Junior Senator Dies Sud-
denly in Washington.

Virginia's Junior Senator Dies Sud-
denly in Washington.
Senator Barbour. Of Virginia, died sud-
denly at his residence in Washington a few
mornings ago at $50 o'clock. He awakened
shortly before and aroused Captain Shop
herd, of Warrenton, Va, who was his
guest, saying that he was i'll, and asked
him to send for physician. Returning
to his own room, Senator Barbour lay
down and died within ten minutes. The
physician pronounced the cause of death
heart failure. There was no premonition of
death. In 1886, while in Europe, Senator
Barbour experienced similar attack, but
it soon passed away. Last week, at the
races, he complained of similar feel
ing, but it was not severe enough to
disturb him any nor cause him to
abandon any of his duties He was in the
Senate the day before as usual, and in the
morning attended meeting of the Com
mittee on the Affairs of the District of
Columbia. Senator Barbour left no i'm
mediate family. His wife's sister, Miss
Dangerfeld, presided over his household, and
brother resides in Culpeper, Va.
john S. Barbour was the junior Senator
from Virginia in point of service, though
the senior in years. He was born in Gull
pepper County, Virginia, on December 49,
1890. He graduated from the school of the
the practice of law in his native county.
Born of family of politicians, young
Barbour became prominent in the politics of
Culpeper County, and at the age of twenty
seven was sent to the Legislature.
He was reelected to serve in three success
sive sessions of that body. Mr.. Barbour
then abandoned official life to engage ac-
lively in business. and did not resume his
political career until his election to the
Forty-seventh Congress During the IN
terim Of nearly thirty years he was
engaged in several large enterprises.
In 1852 he was elected President
of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad and
served in that capacity until that road was
merged in the Virginia Midland Railroad,
when he was made President of that road
until 1885, when he resigned. Representa-
tive Barbour was reelected to the Forty
eighth and Forty ninth Congresses, and was
chosen by the Virginia Legislature, as
Democrat, to fill the vacancy caused by the
expiration of the term of United
States Senator Harrison 81. Riddle
berger, Readjuster. He took his seat on
March 4, 1889, and his term Of service would
have expired March 8, 1895. Senator Bar
bour was Of large figure, more than six feet
tall, with an inclination to stoop. Long,
curly, iron-gray locks and q heavy moustache
of the same color set off his ruddy face and
made the man noticeable figure in any as
semblage. The dead Senator resided at
Alexandria. He was childless widower.

HUNDREDS DROWNED.
Frightful Steamship Accident lie
ported on the Caspian Sea.

A frightful accident is said to have oc-
Cured on the Caspian Sea. A report has
been received at Astrakhan that the steamer
Alexander Wolkow. carrying passengers
between Caspian ports, has foundered with
$50 passengers on board. This, follow
ing recent accident, attended by almost
equal loss of life few weeks ago, has caused
much excitement in Caspian ports, and
there is general opinion that the Rus
sian authorities do not attend with
due vigilance to the inspection of
steamships in those waters. Most of
the steamers on the Caspian arc poorly
built, and not calculated for enduring the
sudden and severe storms which occasion
ally sweep over that inland sea. 1t is be-
lieved that this latest disaster will lead to a
general overhauling of the steam and sailing
craft on the Caspian.

New Mexico's $1,000, 900 Structure
Totally Destroyed.

At s o'clock. few evenings ago, smoke
was seen issuing from the roof of an attic
near the base of the south dome of New
Mexicos Capitol building in Santa Fe. Cit
liens at once drew up the fire hose to the
spot, but only to find that the water from
the water works had been shut off from the
building and grounds and it at once became
evident that the structure was doomed The
vaults are uninjured. Owing to quarrsls in
the late Legislature no money was appropri-
ated to pay for insurance and the policies
were allowed to expire. The building was
valued at 81 ,000,00 and is a total loss.

ALABAMA.

Mr. Magee Again in the State, to Stay Until
After Election.
Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
BIRMINGHAN, Ala, Nov. /, 1892
The last week Of the campaign is proving to
be very interesting in Alabama in more ways
than one. The republican leaders seem de-
termined to get the factions of their party to-
gether 30 as to unite their support on one
ticket, it matters not what comes or goes. They
realize that to let election day dawn and ind the
republican party split up and supporting two
different tickets means the loss Of all hope Of
carrying the state for Weaver or Harrison, or
rather for Harrison by the Weaver vote, or for
electing single member Of Congress. Mr.
Stevens faction has repeatedly refused to fuse
with the third party, Kolbites and Moseley re-
publicans, although every kind Of pressure
possible was Brought 10 bear.
Now Chris Magee comes to Alabama again,
having arrived here yesterday morning bright
and early fresh from the national republican
headquarters in New York. He announces that
he Will be here until after the election and that
he will be very busy. He comes 10 have the
Stevens ticket withdrawn: mean by that he
is getting them out Of the way. He
is doing that SO as to leave only
one anti-democratic ticket in tine field. thus
compelling all republicans, and especially the
negroes, 70 vote Tor the FUSION ticket, which Is
made up of Weaver and Harrison electors, and
II the ticket wins and Alabama's eleven votes
are needed for Harrison he il to get them;
otherwise they 60 for Weaver.
CONSULTING WITH Mr. MAoEE.
Immediately upon his arrival here all the
leaders, both low and high, in the anti-demo-
cratic hosts were summoned to Birmingham to
meet him. They came from far and near and
glad they we're to see him. They look forward
to his coming a. an era Of good times and good
things.
II Is said that he il dispensing the sinews Of
war where they viii do most good, and especially
among the Stevens faction 90 - 70 get their
candidates out of the way.
Magee has his agents ont all over the state
and they are working With great vieor to get
the negroes into line. II ID with that element
