TIcE SUFFERS TIE PENALTY.
Executed By Electricity for Numbering
His Wife.

AUBURN On. ", May 1S.-Joseph L.
Tice of Rochester, the wife murderer, was
killed by electricity at $50 this morning.
The execution is considered to have been
a great success. The witnesses saw no
burning flesh, no exhalation of air from
the lungs, and no struggle of the victim.
The murderer met his fate calmly. The
electric current was turned into the body
four times. Each contact was brief. The
physicians in charge believed that better
results could be Obtained IN this way than
with two long contacts. The complete
time of the contact was fifty seconds.
The condemned man was very nervous
early in the night, but when told at mid
night that he would be executed this
morning, he said he would be ready and
would die like a soldier. He joined fer
vently in prayers. He slept lutte after
midnight and paced his cell, but became
calm at o'clock and remained so TO the
end

Eighteen samples were received

Eighteen samples were received
from this State, from three counties,
from one Of which-Washoe-
received fifteen. The average percent.
age Of sugar in the beet for the State
was IL 20 ard the average weight of
beet II ounces Washoe county, which
practically furnished all the samples
frouI the State, also leads in the quail
ity Of the beets obtained. The num-
bers representing their quality is
almost phenomenal with the excep-
ton of their average weight, which is
only about what it should be. This
doubtless accounts for the fact that
the beets were exceptionally rich.
The fifteen samples from this county
showed an average percentage of
sugar in the beet OF 1902 and an
average weight of 8 ounces.

Railroad bonds were unusually quiet, the
total transactions being only $6l3,000, while
the prevailing temper of the share list was
closely followed, with the result of making
some material losses for the day. The most
promising issue was the Kansas and Texas
seconds, which were sold down on the prob
ability OF the non-payment OF the next cou-
pom. The other changes, however, were
generally Insignificant, and the number of
bonds traded IN was unusually small.
