though an alliauccman, has been bit
terly opposed to the sub-treasury
scheme and other alliance demands,
was disciplined by the alliance and
constrained 10 say 10 the caucus that
/ if the alliance would not follow him
he would follow the alliance. This
submission TO the alliance was the
only thing which preserved the
governors influence with the
organization which elected him.

gates, the officers, the resolutions and
every detail Of procedure by the con
ventiOn. At noon the convention Was
called TO order by Senator Irby. ".

Ninth victim Of EIectrocu,ion

Dy lelc2Idpu lo tue StilS thFonlcie.
AUBURN, n. Y, May lS.-For the
second time the States original elec
trical execution apparatus was used
to-day in Auburn, and in the chair
where Kemmler was experimental
upon Joseph L. Tice was electrocuted,
being the States ninth victim. He
met death bravely, and yet without
any bravado, and so far as human
ingenuity or science can discover
he died instantly and without
pain. The execution lasted but a few
seconds. From the time the warden
notified him in his cell that all was i'm
readiness until death was announced
was two and one-half minutes. Tice
passed his last night on earth quietly
and collectedly, and his calnness and
evident lack of interest in the exact
time was remarkable. The only allu-
sion he made to it last night was when
he lay down on his cot, saying, 'l am
quite tired, but shall not be weary
very long" He did not forget his de-
votions and as usual read chapter
out of the Bible. 1t was $50 o'clock
this morning when the witnesses
who had previously been allowed to
view the apparatus were notified
that their presence was desired. The
same arrangement of apparatus was
noticed in the former execution, but
there was a largely increased voltage
and some of the straps to be affixed 10
the face had been changed.
When all the witnesses had grouped
themselves about the chair electrician
Davis pressed the signal button five
times aud the row of sixteen electric
lights in the closet glowed brightly.
He pressed it twice again for more
current and then quickly switched int
the row of test lamps on the chair
The response was instantaneous and
the electrician broke the con
nection and took the lamps away
Tice was then brought in. His fac
was ashen pale and every bit of colo
had left his lips. Neither chaplain o
prisoner said word. More expedi
!; tously than can be told the guards al
fixed the straps. The head electrod
was the metal cap filed with sponge

That n An which is Required ut This Time
Of the Year--Do You Know What to DO?
We hear great deal, just now, about Spring
medicines 1t is known that people feel run
down after the labors and siege Of winter, and
II 10 assumed they need = Spring medicine.
This is not true. Spring medicines are not
needed; nature will throw of the rheums in
the blood which have accumulated during the
winter. II she has only little help. Nature is
able to clean her own house. and take care Of
her own household. with little assistance, and
little gentle stimulant is all the Spring medi.
cine any one requires. But" you may say,
"what do you mean by stimulant, and what do
! require?" We answer, some thing absolutely
pure. powerful. and which has been proved to
abundantly answer the purpose. Unquestion-
ably, whtskey, II of the right kind Is the proper
thing to use, but unfortunately, there are few
good whiskies in the market, and only one
which 10 absolutely pure, and possesses medic
NAL qualities. That whiskey is Duffy's Pure
Malt II has been upon the market for years.
IL has the unqualified Endorsement of physi.
clans and chemists. and il 10 the only whiskey
which can be recommended. II is true. certain
interruptions druggists and grocers seek to
sell other and inferior goods, claiming they are
equal to Duffy's, but they possess little purity
and no medicinal power whatever, whereas
Duffy's is specially designed as a medicinal
whiskey. 1t would be we'll to bear these facts
IN mind when considering the subject of Spring
medicines, and how to best put the system In
shape for the requirements of the season.

DON'T LOSE THE CHILD"
Been overwhelmingly Warning

A little boy was kidnapped, stolen in Con-

ping is supposed to be SO rare. But is 1t? A

wheezy cough which she knows at once is
Group. 1t is in fact an attempt by disease to
kidnap the little creature. She pleads. she
seeks every way to save the child, in vain
Within few hours he is gone never to re-
turn-kidnapped by the Demon of Disease.
Thousands OF children are stolen each year
In this very way. There 10 tightening in the

experience of q well-known man, Hon. Matthew
Hogan OF New York. He sayb:
II was awakened suddenly one night by the
sound OF hoarse, wheezy cough from the
cradle of my youngest child. / knew in q
moment what it meant. Selling bottle which
l always keep on hand, l gave my child a
strong dose Of its contents. Suddenly some
thing seemed to loosen, the throat cleared and
the little one sank into peaceful sleep. The
medicine l gave her was DR.. Acker's English
Remedy, which, not only for Group, but for
coughs, colds and consumption, l believe to be
the greatest remedy ever given to the world"
There are thousands OF parents who keep
this great remedy in the house all the while
and who rest better, knowing if the little one

come stricken with cold. grip or pneumonia.
the safest and best of all remedies is close at

THE CASE ARGUED.


Application Of Railroad Company Against
the Interior Department.
In the Court in General Term yesterday the
case OF the Union River Logging Railroad
Company against Secretary of the Interior
Noble and Commissioner Of the Land Office
Carter was argued by Messrs. Phillips and Ne
Kenney for the complainant and Assistant Al
torney Maury for the respondents The COM
plainant 10 corporation of Washington and
they claim they constructed . railroad, and In
1889 it fled in the land Office at Seattle the
necessary papers under which they we're en-
titled to the benefits Of the act Of March 8,
1876, - to right Of way over the public lands,
&C., and they were transmitted 10 the commits
sioner of the land Office and they we're ap-
proved by Secretary Villas January 20, 1889.
In June, 1890, an order was issued BY Secre-
tary Noble directing the compliments to show
cause why the previous approval should not be
annulled. The complainant protested that the
revocation was beyond the power of the Sec
rotary. but answered. On June 2, 1891, Act
ing Secretary Chandler ordered the approval
OF Secretary Villas to be set aside and directed
the commissioner Of the land Office to carry
out the order. They therefore asked an in

The answer states that the action was taken
on representations that said road was not en-
gagged in business as . carrier of freight and
passengers, and il was not such road as was
contemplated by the act, and it became his
duty to take steps to annul the act Of Secretary
Villas and he did 50.
