II. @. Lockney is a good one. This
senatorial district is Democratic by
nearly 1000 majority, and Lockney was
elected BY about 500 majority, change
OF nearly 1900 votes. II the Democrats
had hired some one else to start roor-
bach he would have gotten nearly
every vote in the district. These cam
paign lies on the eve OF the election
have had their day. They won't win.

DR.. Talmage has resigned the pastor
ate Of the Brooklyn tabernacle, and
announces that he will either seek
another flock or 60 into general evan
gelieal work.
DR.. Talmage's reason for this step is
worry creditable TO him. He declares
that, as his congregation has Built three
churches for him. all of which have
been destroyed by FIRE, 1t Is not right
for him to ask them TO build another,
and thus pile up an enormous debt. He
thinks the time that he would be
obliged to spend in au endeavor TO
raise the interes. on big debt could be
more protitably spent by him in preach
ing the gospel
1t has been limited also that DR.. Tai
mage has become superstitious on ac-
count OF the fatality that has attended
his Brooklyn churches. 1t certainly is
remarkable that all three should have
burned under very similar circum-
stances. But II he attributes these &C.
currences to his pastorate. he should
make proviso, in accepting any new
pastorate, that the congregation en-
gazing him shall heavily insure its
property, lest the singular fatality fol-
lowing him in Brooklyn will follow him
into new fields.
He might compromise with his fate
by agreeing not to preach indoors
again, but in the open fields where fires
cannot do material damage.

DfNk WILSON ELEC1RoCUTE01
The Crime for Which He Suffered
Death.
Killing of Detective James Harvey of syr-
acuse OIL July 81, 1s0s-The Muir
dercr Born in Omaha-End
Of Criminal Career.

AuBuRS, N. Y, May 14.-"Dink"
Wilson was electrocuted In the state
prison hero at 1874 p. IN. today. On
the morning Of July 81. 1898, Detective
James Harvey OF Syracuse under.
took to arrest two men whom
he suspected to be burglars. They
walked along quietly with him until
within 500 feet of the police sta
ton, when suddenly one of the men nit
the detective on the head with the butt
end of his revolver, aud the other shot
him in the head. Tho detective was
killed instantly. The men ran a block
away and separated. Lucius r., alias
Dink Wilson, was captured and under
arrest In ten minutes, but his brother
Charles was not captured until August
"a, In Buffalo, when he made a desper-
ate fight. The trial of "Dink" Wilson
was begun in Syracuse November
6, 1893. The jury found him guilty
and on November IL, he WAS sentenced
to be ~electrocutcd at Auburn prison
during the week beginning Decent Der
II. After an appeal he WAS resentcnced
to be e%lectrocutcd during the week of
March IL. Governor Flower granted a
stay OF sixty days pending q motion
for q new trial before Justice Williams
at Watertown. The motion was de-
MED.
The Wilson boys were born in
Omaha. They had q bad reputation
even In their school days. "Dink' we
2s years old and Charlie is "a. They
have had a thrilling career in the west
as safe crackers and tram robbers.
Charles Wilson is now in the Syracuse
Jail waiting trial. The record of the
men is all against them and public
opinion is not divided q particle in tho
belief that justice will be done In the
extinction OF both.
Drinks last night on earth afforded
but little contrast to those that had
preceded it. III the early hours he
talked a good deal with tho night
watch, McNaughton. The con
versation was mostly of his
trial. which Dink characterized
as unfair. He thought his treatment
in Syracuse had been very shabby. He
reiterated his assertion that he did not
fire his revolver that day, and he
thought the other man should have
been tried frat.

FOR THE SAKE OF ECONOMY.
Even False syntax May BE Rcsortcd To-
An Abortivc Boston Attempt.

The telegraph operators We're telling
stories again last night, says the Buf-
falo Express. The tall man. who has
held a key all over the country, had the
floor.
"You see a good many jokes in tho
papers" said he. 'about the culture of
Boston and the habit people living there
have of using big words and correct
grammar and ali that. Most of YOU
think that these jokes have no foullda-
ton in fact. Now, | know better. I
was receiving clerk in the Western
Union Office there a good many Yeas
ago, and some of the messages handed
in to me were corkers. One summer T
had the cable window. One day two
women dressed in black and greatly
agitated came in and inquired the rate
per word to London. l told them it
was IS cents. They consulted for a
p4inute aud then one of them asked for
Il blank. | told them where the blanks
were, and one of them wrote Il message.
The other took it aud read it two or
three times. Then she came over to
the window and asked again how much
it was Il word to London. Twenty
eight cents | told her. She looked at
the message obviously. The other
woman came up to her and said: Don't
you like itp'
"'No,' she said, Il don't like it. That
form is improper. You say that Charles
suicided this morning, when it should
be said that Charles committed suicide
this morning.
But said the other, If we put it in
that way we will save 25 ccssts.'
The woman who objected turned
this proposition over in her mind for
long time. Finally she said: Il don't
think that such syntax is cxcusable.'
"The other took the blank and read
the message n few dozen times. We're
poor she said decisively after studying
1t in all its phases, and we can't save rs
cents any easier
This partially convinced the woman
who objected. But what will our
friends thinkP she asked obviously.
so suppose they will notice it, but we
can't help that Then the two women
retired to one corner of the room and
had a consultation. After talking earn
estly for ten minutes they wrote ont an
other message. So help me, Alis is tho
way | got it: Charles suicided this
morning. False syntax used because it
is cheaper
"And they paid me 2s cents a word
for it. All of which," continued the
tall operator, illustrates ono Of the
curious Ways in which q woman's mind
works"

STEEL AND IRON PRODUCTION
An Electric Process which Promises Great

An Electric Process Which Promises Great
Things.
WASHINGTON, May IA reduction
OF so per cent In tho cost of casting
steel, iron and other metals, q great
saving in time, production of castings
and, most important of all, the produc.
ton OF pig iron In mountainous and re-
mote districts having water power and
ore, but no coal; oil these things may
result from the application of electric
lily, according to n new process de-
scribed In a report to the department
Of state by United States Consul Frank
Mason, at Frankfort. Germany.
The process Is known as the Taussig
and provides for smelling and casting
metals by electric heat, under the
influence of rarifed air. An air.
tight furnace lined with glazed
fire brick has ITS hearth connected
with molds into which the metal
flows by gravitntion. The fire brick
lining forms an efficient insulation and
the electric current is sen through the
charge directly without the use of any
fuel. OF the employment of carbon
Thereby the fused metal is nearly purs
and free from carbon and the continued
exhaustion OF air and gases produced
increases the huidity of tho molten ma
terial, prevents oxidation and blister
ing, and produces dense, smooth cast
ings of the highest mechanical quail
tiles.
In q small experimental furnace
ton and a halt OF pig iron was smcltet
in fifteen minutes by n current of 80:
900 ampcres and fifty volts. about 2.oot
horse power. With water power, this
cost is very low, and even using steam
to generate the electric current, there
ia an economy in fuel in smelling of 80
to so per cent. The cost Of pig iron
with ore at s2.40 per ton, 1t is SAID
would not exceed So per ton with u mo
tive power Of 1000 horse power.

ARMoR PLATE FRAUDS.
McLuckIe Makes Some Startling
Disclosures.


CHICAGO, May ia special from
Pittsburg, Pa, says: Burgess Nc
Luckie, speaking of the report of de-
fectlve plates on the coast defense ship
Monterey, says: Zone of the Mon
terey's belt line plates weighs twenty
eight tons. 1t is fastened on the shir
about the waterline and it is but
slightly curved. This plate is thirteen
inches thick and Its number at the Car
negie mill at Homestead was lss One
of the blowholes IN this plate was so
large and apparently so deep that a
consultation of several superintendent
and bremen was called to discuss
tho possibility of SO doctoring it
as to get 1t in past the govern
ment Inspectors. 1t was decided to
mako the attempt. The plate was
worth nearly $4,000 to the company if
they could secure its acceptance. On
Sunday night the superintendent and
several trustworthy men went to work
at 1t. A hole three inches in diameter
and eight inches deep was drilled at
the mouth of the blowhole. Then a
three-inch bolt vas made and ham
mered into the plate. The s%uperinten-
dent himself welded the sledge. On
the opposite end of the same plate was
another great blowhole. 1t wa be-
lieved that the spongy, porous condi-
tons existed from end to end of the
plate, Il distance of ten to twelve feet.
This second big blowhole was plugged
up like the first. A third blowllole
near one corner of the plate was filed
up with molten lead. All the surfaces
We're nicely planed off and the inspec-
tor sent the plate on its way to the
Monterey.
INC. 80 is another rotten belt line
armor plate on the Monterey. Nearly
u dozen plugs were driven INTO it to
conceal the presence of hlowholes. The
plate was almost ~honeycombed to Judge
from some surface Indications. 1t
looked all right after it had been doc
tored, and the inspector passed 1t.
This was a thirteen inch plato, too.
Stu another twelve inch plate on the
Monterey is rotten, and was fraudu-
lently foisted On the government.
Three big blowholes were plugged on
a Sunday night when no inspector was
present. The number of this plate
was is. Ono of the blowholes in one
plate was so big hat when the first
plug was driven a young workman
wrote his name and address OH n card
and poked it In. Secretary Herbert
has u diagram of the plate, with the
location of all the plugholes."

is part OF the plan Of the Investigating
board 20 test the plates mentioned in

Hill Just Now ar Interesting Eigure-Hi
Attitude on the Tariff.

Hin Just Now an Interesting Figure-His
Attitude on the Tariff.
WA%sTIINGToN, May 15.-If one were
l~ooking for the most interesting per.
s~onality to discuss just now, undoubt-
eddy the first character taken up would
be that of Senator Hill. This sphynx-
like man was never harder to under
stand. Not that he is very secretiye
about his present position. He ia bold
and outspokcn and bitter and bad.
While he has not said that he intends
to vote against the pending tariff bill,
every senator who has talked with him
and knows anything about his position,
believes that he will do so and they
further believe hat he will stand IN
single and alone, with his negative
vote. The universal question asked is.
"What is llill's game? What is he
trying to do? What is his purpose?"
One of the leading senntors of tho
finance committee, Que who has dis
cussed with Senator Hill his present
position fully, said that Senator Hin
had given up nll hope OF future po,iti-
cal advancement, had given up ali idea
Of future political power and he was
willing to sacrifice himself to bury
himself ten fathoms deep if possible, to
defeat and end in disgrace the present
administration. He has always had
the reputation Of being u good hater
and this confirms the general reputa
ton.
