THE SECRET REVEALED.
A French Journalist Tells the
World How NJ. Turpin's Ma
Chine is Worked.


Paris is still engaged in talking
and specializing about NJ. Turpin's
invention of deadly engine of
war, capable OF wiping out an Ell
tire army IN QUARTER of an honI
or So. 1t Will he reuem bered that
few days ago three Partisan jour
naIsts who had followed NJ. Tur-
pin to Brussels persuaded him to
give up all the plans OF his inVen
ton for the good of France, and re
turning to Paris lodged the docu
menls in the War Office, greatly,
1t is said, to NJ. Dupuy's relief aud
satisfaction. Until some official re
port is made on the subject NJ. Tur
pin s alleged invention will doubt
less remain shrOudcd in mystery,
but meanwhile speculation Is rife.
People are asking one another
whe her Turpin has really invented
what he Says lie has, whether he &C
tualiY INTENDED to play the traitor,
whether he is not himself WOefully
mistaken as ~ the value Uf his
schemc, or whether the whole affair
Is NO, a gigantic attempt to extort
money irum the government. Ali
kinds of rImors are rife as to what
he machine in question is intended
TO do, and the following narrative,
published in June 2 in The Euro
pcan edition of the Herald, is there
fore interesting as giving NJ. Tur

MUST HANG HIMSELF.
To Die on a Gallows Which d.
Will S in Motion.

IIartrord, Conn, June 8 War
den Woodbridge, of the Connection
state prison, has placed in the lew
execution house and improved gal
lows, by which coud, mned ar
becomes his own executioner. BY
stepping on the drop he starts 4
flow of water. The weight OF the
water finally releases the spring
which holds the drop.
Jack C-omn has been sentenced
to die by this machine OH Augusl
ID.
At the session of the state board
of charities, DR.. A. w. Tracy
president of the board, presented
his written protest against the
hanging of Cromn by Warden
Wo"dbridge's new con.rivance. DR..
Tracy argues that it is illegal, be
cause the law canrot compel a
i man to become his own ex
ecntioner or suicide. The law,
he says, requires that an officer
charged with executing the sen
tence shall perform his duty and
not shit any pat of it to the
victim. The latter, DR.. Tracy says,
would he legally justified in using
physical force on The sc~fold 20
prevent the officers from forcing
him to do an illegal act.
DIR. Tracy further argues that the
complicated nature Of the contri
vance will read to tiiiehaps and
that the prisoner, Instead of being
hanged according to law, will be
forced to commit suicide. DE-.
Tracy suggests that if sensitive
officer sc, Ks; as by this new con
trlvance, to dodge the responsibility
Of hanging condemned man then
the next thing in order will be
for sensitive judges to whisper the
death sentence into phonugraph,
which would aitorward be placed
At the prisoners ear and eel i'll
motion ny his own act.
Referring to electrical ex' cntions
in New York, DIR. Tracy makes
-he POINT that the officials do their
luty and do not force condemned |
men 20 become suicides 10y making
he elcc'r;c connections them
selves. Copies OF the letter will
re sent 10 Governor Morris and |
Warden Woodbridge, but as thu
Prison directors have approved the
vnrden's woik, 1t is not probable
hat DIR. Tracy's views will have
my wright.
Cronin was convicted OF the muir
Ter of Albert j. Skinner, of South
Windsor. HIS attorneys have aban
Toned all hopes OF saving him. He
will undoubtedly be hanged August

A BREEZY LETTER.
From Ed Haglin, Describing a Visit
to the Texarkana and Fort
Smith Railroad

Fort Smith Times.
While in Texarkana a few days
ago, I accepted an invitation from
Mr.. W, A. Williams, general super
intendent of the Texarkana 4
Fort Smith railroad, to accompany
him out as far as the trains were
running, distance of thirty-nine
miles. l was agreeably surprised
at the superiority of the road bed
and the handsome steel bridge over
Red River, which is longer and has
greater sustaining power than the
one ever whieh-the Iron Mountain
teresses- the same stream.
We passed station after station,
and around the depots, which were
commodious and neatly painted, are
neat, new homes, and people de-
termined to make their town the
best on the line.
The road is now completed to
Winthrop, fortY-one miles north of
Texarkana, and trains are running
out there daily. At the end of the
road the steel gang were. laying
rails at the rate of three fourthS
Of a mile per day, and six cars load
ed with rails were being, pushed to
the front. Just north of Red River
there is. about two miles of iron
rails but these we're being removed
and steel rails substituted
The road, unlike the Iron Noun.
tain, traverses a country not sub
iect to overflow and instead of low,
fiat, marshy vegetation, there are
pine trees and forests with scarcely
break for thirty miles,
The X. G. Lumber Co., have mil

ed across them; Operated by the
K. G. P, 4 G r, r."
Mr., Hubble, third vice president,
Philadelphia gentleman, is gener.
al manager, and Mr.. Williams isstill
general superintendent of construc-
ton The latter informed me that
he had instructions "to push" and
that he was. There are now two
engineering corps in the field, one
working towards Fort Smith, the
other south, going to Shreveport.
AS we were returning we met a
supply train going to the front with
steel rails and | noticed that they
were from Colorado | asked Mr.
Williams ifit were not something
unusual to get rails from there,
He said; ''rhe steel is equal to
English make and we lay them
down cheaper than we can rails
from Pittsburg or Birmingham"
Mr.. Williams said he would claim
new hat from me by being in Fort
Smith by January !, '96, and that
he would not be surprised If the
road would not be finished from
Sloan Springs to Fort Smith by
that time, though he believed the
South end would reach here first
