slant danger is greatly increased from the
fact that I'm nearly every instance these
manhole covers are air tight thus prevent
ing the escape of gas which may accumu-
late therein. An explosion is the Inevitable
result. II is in no manner the purpose OF
the Washington Gas Light Company To In
anywfse seek TO interfere with the conduct
or control of the electric wire conduits, but
solely to guard the interests or the gas light
company, and TO that end TO hereby protest
against the use of ai--tight covers to the
manholes Of the electric conduits.
The company's apprehension 10 accu-
mulating and future dangers is increased by
the facts shown by the publication In The

NEED NOT SHOW THEIR BOOKS.
An Important Decision I'm a Suit
Against Brokers.

CHICAGO, March lin the board of
trade suit Lamson Bros. against Boyden &
Company, to recover $4,000. which the
plaintiffs claim to have paid to defendant
during a corner in the market. manipu-
lated II is claimed by the defendants Judge
Blanke last evening made an important
ruling In the case. being the first suit of
this nature ever tried in Illinois.
The case arose from nuctuation in the
price of corn in September. 1889. During
the last few days of that month No. .
corn for November delivery fuctuated yio-
lently, ranging from 80 to 60 cents a bushel
LamSon Brothers, who. II is claimed, v ere
short on this future" being caught in
the squeeze for the amount claimed
The plaintiff sought to compel Boyden &
Company to produce their books, showing
all the corn purchased by them for delivery
in November, or which they held in ware
houses They contended that the defend =
ants were under obligations to surrender
their books to the inspection Of the court
for the purpose of enabling I-arnson
Brothers to recover back money they had
paid in settlement of short contracts for
the delivery of corn in November
On the part of Boyden & Company II was
contended that the purchase of corn by
Lamson Brothers at fifty-eight cents a
bushel was voluntary purchase in the
market without protest or complaint and
that in no event were the defendants under
legal obligations to surrender their hooks
OF accounts for that month for the tur-
pose of furnishing evidence to enable Lam
son Brothers TO recover a penalty for
fixture imposed by the state for running
a corner"
Judge Blanke held with the defendants,
under constitutional grounds, that every
citizen is TO be secured from unreasonable
search or seizure of his property where the
object of such search might disclose evil
dence which would submit the citizen to a
penalty.

CHARLES sALYARDs HANGED.
He Did Not "Cheat the Gallows," as He
Declared He Would.

CARLISLE, Pa, March 1.-Charles SAL
yards. the murderer. was hanged this morn
ing. The drop fell at 1928
The day was bright and an immense
crowd gathered in and about the Jail yard
to see Salyards executed. The condemned
man slept well all night, but was very i'll
from the effects of the poison which be
swallowed yesterday with suicidal Intent.
This morning he vomited frequently, and
could not arise from his cot, the attend
was lying down.
At 1870 o'clock the sheriff entered the
cell with four deputies, the intention being
to carry Salyards to the scaffold IL he was
too i'll to walk. The man was calm and re-
signed. He refused to be carried, insisting
that he was able to walk. With deputy
holding each arm the wretched man was
dragged to the scaffold. AS he stepped on
the trap he closed his eyes and said in a
weak voice: II want to say to Martins
relatives who are here that 1 am inno-
cent"
After a short prayer the black cap was
placed over Salyards' head, the moose ad-
1usted. and the drop fell. Just before the
trap was sprung the man uttered the single
word Innocent"
The fortitude displayed by Salyards de-
spite the fact that he was suffering severe
Iy made the scene very pitiful Several
men In the crowd tainted.
The crime for which Salyards today paid
the death penalty was the murder of Po-
liceman George E. Martin on Saturday
night. April s, 1893.
Policeman Martin started out upon his
beat early In the evening and shortly after
ward he was seen to follow a man into q
dark lane. There was a shot, a man ran
away and Martin was picked up dead.
FROM description given by persons who
witnessed the murder suspicion at once
fastened upon Salyards, a noted Harrisburg
thier, who had been seen in Carlisle that
day. A reward of $1,000 was offered for
the capture of the murderer. Salyards was
traced to HagerstOwn, Md, where, on the
following Monday morning, he sought 10
conceal his identity by having his beard
cut Off From Hagerstown ne was traced
TO winchester Va, and there arrested.
His trial was begun before Judge Sadler
on May 10 and lasted eight days. He was
ably defended by w. J. Shearer and II. s.
Stuart. District Attorney Barnitz and ex-
Judge Herman, however. presented a COM
plete chain of circumstantial evidence and
the jury reached a verdict of murder In
the first degree" in three hours.
A motion for new trial was overruled
and sustained by the supreme court. The
pardon board refused to commute sentence
He was sentenced to be hanged on January
B. but Gov. Pattison granted a reprieve
until March 1 to give an opportunity for a
rehearing.
The case was again heard but the pardon
board a second time refused to interfere
An appeal was then made to Gov Pattison
but he refused to interfere. Yesterday
morning he attempted suicide but was re-
vived.
