SPRING LAKE, July %, 1893.-The re-
honor of the commander In chief at the
Monument House in this place last even
ing was a brilliant success and a fitting
end of the most successful day. The
front of the hotel which is said to be the
largest on the coast, was almost COM
pletely hidden from view by flags, and
bunting, while the interior was Il mass of
bright colors and fragrant flowers. rhe
Essex Troop was detailed as a guard of
honor, and its members in their SNOWY
dress uniforms were one OF the attrsc-
lions of the event.
The Governor aud Mrs. Werts received
the guests in the large parlor OF the
house which was beautifully decorated
in | and white. Mrs. Werts was as
sisted In receiving by Mrs. Joseph w.
Pune, Mrs. h A. Donelly, Mrs. w. c..
HeDpenheimer, Mrs. NJ. L. Derrett. Mrs.
Robert Adrain, Mis-. Bedle, Mrs. job u Z.

ing.
All the general. division. and brigade
stats. field. staff, and line officers, not on
duty IN camp, toned n the general scene
with their guild lace, brass buttons, aud
shoulder knots. Colonies, Lieutenant

Qultus in the pine forests. A roster of
the National Guard officers together with
a list of the leading politicians In all of
counties OF the State would represent the
men who were present.

to this Executive Committee: Col. NJ. L.

Mr.. j. Keller, of No. Cos Newark ave-

the box. Carriers were expected by the
department to bring in matter left on the
top OF the boxes, but nevertheless the
person who so mails must take his
chances.
The leaving of MI. Keifer's newspaper

The Horrible Electric Chair.
We have always regarded the ''elec-
trio chair" as a hideous refinement of
barbarism, answering no good pur-
pose and working much moral harm.
We have been accused of lack of pro-
gresslveness on account of this opin-
ion. We should approve, We have
been told, the application of modern
science to the moderation of the hor-
rors of the death penalty.
This is just what we deny. We
have always regarded, as a sort OF
craze, the notion that it was more
merciful than the rope, while we
could not but consider that it was a
sort of prostitution of science. We
have always had a sufficient number
of sympathizers in these opinions. as
well as many opponents. Probably
the number of those who agree with
us this morning is considerably larger
than ever before.
The horrible occurrence at Auburn.
yesterday. is a complete wer to
every effective argument that has ever
been presented in favor of electrocu-
ton as against the rope. So far IS the
victim is concerned, it can hardly be
said that it makes much difference
what the manner of his death shall
be, SO long as prolonged torture is not
to be an accompaniment of the dread
penalty. Indeed: it is probable the
average man would regard the pro-
spect of hanging as much less terrible
than the electric shock, and the pro-
spect of it would give him much less
mental agony, than the refined horror
of Mr.. Elbridge 7. Gerry, and such
like preposterous sociological rG6lnes.
But the argument against the gal
lows was that it was not sure. It
sometimes miscarried shockingly and
the victim underwent awful physical
torture, while the spectators suffered
still more exquisitely in their minds
and sensibilities. Surely after yester-
days performance, We will never hear
of this again. Out of some ten or
twelve executions by electricity
which have taken place, at least
four or five have developed horrible
features the roasting of the flesh,
the horrible gasps and groans
of the dying man, the necessity of re-
peated contacts" to destroy the spark
OF life. But yesterdays beat all
records. 1t showed, lin particular,
that the electric chair is no more sure
than the gallows. and when it goes
wrong, how unspeakably horrible it
is. Is there anything in the history
of hanging to equal that hour at
Auburn, during which, after mi hor-
rible struggle under the torture of the
spark, the wretched man was kept
alive but insensible, under the infiu-
ence of morphine and chloroform,
while a corps of scientific" Jack
Ketch's scurried around to patch up
the apparatus of Nineteenth Century
refinement, to do him to death.
We wonder ii this awful scene will
give New York legislators any true
insight into civilization and induce
them to wipe this horrible law from
the statute books. restoring the adj
ministration of the laws extreme
penalty to the simple efficiency OF
the gallows and the hand of the com

The Industrial Depression and the
Tariff.

Tariff.
The reduction of the hours of work
at the Clark Thread Mills at Kearny
affords the Republican press a new
excuse for a wall about Mr.. Cleve :
lano's awfulness, and the disaster that
the tariff reform victory of last No
venlber threatens to bring upon the
country. 1t is of no consequence to
them that the industry is not partic-
ularly affected by the tariff. The
organs simply ignore the fact that the
Clarks find it cheaper to make their
thread here for American consump-
ton, with imported operatives, than
to make it in Europe and ship it TO
this country.
1t suits them also to ignore the
reasonable explanation given by Mr..
j. William Clark, one Of the mana
gers OF the mills, who says the cut
down IL to curtaii production in view
of heavily accumulated stock. They
will have it that the impending down
fall of McKinleyism has created a
panic in the manufacturing interests,
and that thousands of American
workingmen are being thrown out on
the world without wages to support
their families.
OF course the depression in manu-
facturcs, which unhappily is real
enough. has nothing to do with the
tariff. 1t is simply the natural re-
suit of the uneasiness and stringency
in money circles working its way into
a new field. When money grow
tight and the banks and cap
itaiists grow nervous. credit

A SERIOUS FIRE,

Lieut.. He'll and Foreman Walsh Severely
Burned by a Naphtha Explosion.
About noon today the neighborhood Of 2Ist
and Q streets northwest was thrown into state
Of excitement by an explosion and fire in the
street
Lieut.. He'll and a member of the FIRE depart
ment were severely burned. while Mrs He'll
and the colored woman employed as cook mar
nowly escaped.
The presence OF naphtha in the house was
what caused the fire. Lieut. He'll and
his wife, assisted by the colored woman.
we're using the fluid the rugs
| which they were going to pack away
for the summer. A number OF them had
gone through the cleansing process and had
been put away, while others moist with the
fluid were left on the floor near
to the air and warmth Of the hot range in the
kitchen the naphtha soon generated gas, which
resulted in an explosion when it came in con-
tact with the range.
SEVERITY BURNED.
Lieut.. He'll picked up the burning rug and
rushed with it toward the door. In doing 70
he came in contact with the other rugs and they
were soon enveloped in the flames
Mrs. He'll and the colored woman managed
to escape and give an alarm. Box 3l9 was
pulled and the ire department responded
promptly.
One of the first fremen to rush into the
burning building was Assistant Foreman John
Walsh of No. company, and he received pain
full burns on his left hand.
The flames had spread rapidly before the fire.
men reached the house, and had followed the
back stairway to the roof. After the arrival of
the fire department the flames were soon extin-
guished.
Lieut.. He'll was severely burned about the
hands and arms, and it will perhaps be several
weeks before he will recover.
He was attended by neighboring physician
until the arrival of physician from the Naval
Hospital.
The damage to the house is estimated at
about 81 900 and is fully insured.
