J. Balfour, Conservative leader in
the House of Commons, and for.
merly Chief Secretary of Ireland, ar
rived in Belfast today to deliver the
addresses in support of the ulster

cheered loudly as he made his ap-
pearance, The multitude was so
enthusiastic that they took the
horses out of the carriage which
bore the Conservative statesman
and eagerly sought the honor Of
drawing the vehicle through the
streets. There was an extensive
display of flags, and bands played
Orange and Loyalist airs. The nu-
merous deputations presented a
formal and cordial greeting to the
ex-Secretary, dwelling upon the
loyalty of Ulster to the Union with
Great Britain and extolling the SER

alton of his resolution of the Con

IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR.
HAMILTON, THE NEGRO WIFE
MURDERER, ELECTROCUTED.
a Successful Exc ecution at Sing Sing
Yesterday---Ehe Victim Killed at the
First Shock.

SING SING, N. Y, April 3-James
". Hamilton, the colored ex-
preacher and convicted wife-mur-
derer, died in the electric chair to-
day. The death warrant was read
by Warden Bro wn in the condemned
man 8 cell at 10 80 o'clock las, night.
Hamilton sat on on the bed and
showed some signs OF emotion when
the document was read. Hamilton
walked with firm step to the death
chamber Two priests walked close
beside him Hamilton took his seat
in the chair with glance of curl
GUS interest in the surroundings.
His lips moved in response to
prayers for the dead which Father
Creeden repeated, but no words
could be heard.
At lilo all the connections were
made and Warden Brown gave the
signal. The current of LAO volts
were turned on and the victim in
the chair jumped upward straining
at the straps and remained rigid.
The crucifx which he held in his
right hand was clasped still tightly,
but his lips stopped moving and al
signs of life ceased at the instant
of contact. The current was left on
for sixty seconds, then turned off.
The physicians stepped forward
listened for the heart beats and felt
the pulse. They declared the sub.
ject dead at lib. The electrocu
tion differed from all it's prede
cessors in that only one shock wa;
given. There was no scorohing o.
scalding of the kin or steaming a
the electrode, and while the ma,
was above the medium height ant
Of massive build it was eviden

was the verdict of ell who wer
present who had seen the forme
executions in the electric chail
