reported 60 have been kept pretty hot foi
a short time last evening. 10 is probable
that the news which reached here early
Of the nomination Of Mr.. Everett r.
Wheeler by tho presidents New York

ernor formed the burden Of the messages
that flashed to tho New England coast
1t was reported that It is not at all inn
probable that the president, probably by
a letter such as no sometimes writes TO a
political friend, accompanied by permits
sion TO make il public at tho proper time
will find occasion to sny something Of the
situation in New York and to pay tribute
20 the political integrity Of the antima-
chine Democrats and commend the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Wheeler TO tho voters.
The attitude Of ex-Seoretary Whitney
in indorsing Senator Hin is known to
have caused the president good deal Of
displeasure The relations between Messrs
whitney and Cleveland have not for a
year back been as cordial as they were,
and this latest move Of Mr.. Whitney

THE CRY AsPHYxlAToRY.

An Official Inspection and Test Given
the Dog Exterminator-Forty Victims
to the Gas.
The city asphyxiatory or dog ex
terminator opened its frst season in the
new structure erected by the Council,
yesterday afternoon, with test at
which forty canine vagabonds were
sacrificed
The building is not an imposing one,
consisting OF one story shed like
building adjoining the dog pound The
asphyxiatory proper Is an air-tight
chamber, connected by pipes with q
charcoal burning stove. When It is full
Of the fumes or gas the CANNES are
dropped one by one through q trap door,
aud in forty seconds are on their way TO
the happy hunting grounds.
It was after 9 O'Clock when the city
fathers reached The ssphyxiatory, which
Is situated just back Of the crematory

has charge OF the dog exterminator in
Philadelphia, was in control, assisted by
Dog-catcher Hayden There were several
drawbacks to the success of the test.
The walls and tloors were damp, the
windows to the asphyxiator not perfectly
air-tight, and the charcoal pine, the
fumes from which are not so deadly as
oak
The frst victim was disreputable-
/ looking, dirty white Arab On being
dropped through the trap he began in
vestigating his new quarters. They
we're warm and he soon picked out q
comfortable spot for quiet snooze The
gas troubled him, however, and he soon
began TO seek a place TO escape Seven
minutes later he keeled over, but it took
seventeen minutes to finish him. The
next victim was black, NANCY looking
car and two minutes was enough for
him, the reservoir having become filed
with the deadly gas The next sue
cnmbsd in ffty-fve seconds, then one
tumbled over in seventeen seconds and
was corpse in less than a minute. In
al forty dogs, sixteen Of them puppies,
and all OF them ours, were killed The
bodies were afterwards destroyed in the
| crematory.
The test was 8 satisfactory one and
| demonstrated that the method was
| painless and more humane than the old
! way Hereafter oak charcoal will be
used, however Mr.. Mclaughlin pro-
nounced the building o X, and pre-
dicted that the city would be well
satisfied with It's workings In the
twenty years Philadelphia has
used this system, 81 4G6 dogs have been
put out OF the way. as q rule the
animal becomes unconscious in forty
seconds and dead in seventy-hye seconds
