KILLED Two IN FLORIDA.
A Murderer COnieSSeS Three Crimes
Just Before Dying.

He Drowned a 1o-Year-old Girl at
Key West With Whose Mother He
Was Intimate-He Also Killed a
Charcoal Burner-The Murder of an
Engineer the Crime Which Sent Him
to tbs Electric Death Chair.
Sing Sing, n. Y. Feb. 26.-Matthew
johnson, slayer of Emil Kuckelhorn,
died in the electric chair this morn
ing at 1l:35 o'clock. When he was
strapped in the chair he said: Il say
good-by." His only friend, the Rev.
Daniel Weisher, replied: "Good-by,"
then the doomed man said: God be
with me-" A few seconds later he was
dead.
johnson showed no signs of breaking
down as the time for the electrocution
approached. He surprised his guards
and Warden Durston with his marvellous
coolness. In all their experience with
condemned murderers they could not re-
call man who seemed so perfectly free
from fear as the West Indian negro, who
had no relative or friend near TO cheer
his last hours except the colored Baptist
preacher, who was but slightly
acquainted with the convict prior to his
arrival here.
This morning johnson said to Warden
Durston: Il did the deed and am will
ling to CO."
A week ago he had confessed the crime
TO the Rev. Mr. Welsher.
TWO MURDERS IN FLORIDA.
johnson admitted also that he had com
mitted two other murders for which he
was never tried. nor, so far as he knew,
even suspected He said that some twelve
years ago he was intimate with married
woman named Lizzie Fraser, at Key
West, Fla, and on one of his visits to her
during the absence of her husband, he
wished to get her 10-year old daughter
out of the way. He accordingly took her
q few yards away from the house to the
dock, and pushed her into the water. The
girl was drowned.
He left Key West and went to a place
on the west coast of Florida called Choke
lisha. While there he worked as char
coal burner. He got into a quarrel over
a woman with Samuel Kellogg, another
charcoal burner, and killed him. He
then came north and never heard OF the
Florida murders again.
johnson said that his father, jeremiah
johnson, his mother his three sisters and
his two brothers live in Key West He
wrote letter to his father yesterday,
bidding him good-by and telling him that
he had made his peace with God, and
was certain that he would go straight to
heaven

Electricity as an Aid to Gamblers.

from the new DIX Tribune.
The applications of electricity are con-
stanJly and rapidly increasing. and honest
inventors have been no more active than
the "blackleg" fraternity in devising ap-
paratus for its. employment, the latter
having the advantage Of not being con
cerned in possible infragments or worried
by the exactions and delays of the patent
office. A professional gambler of New
York gives the following description of
an electrical device which he employed
with profit in throwing dice:
THE scheme" he says, was a battery
concealed under table and connected by
wires with the top. All had to do was
to press button under the table with my
knees and magnetic my dice. l would
bore out the ace spots and fill the cavities
with steel filings, over which l would
paste plack putty, and the dice looked as
natural as any. When | wanted to win
I'd press the button, throw the dice, and
of course my throw would be skies Then
I'd take my knee away from the button,
and the other fellow would throw what
ever he was lucky enough TO throw, but
I'd get his money
OF course the top of the table was pre-
pared in some way for the reception and
carrying of the current, but exactly how
this was done the ambler would not ex-
plain, remarking: mo; I've told you
about the general scheme of the plant,
and | don't give away all the details"

PARISH COUNCIL POWERS.
The Commons Makes Concessions
Which Avert a Conflict.


London, Feb. 26.-ln the House Of Com
mons this evening division was taken on
the amendment OF the House of Lords 10
the parish councils bill enabling parishes
Of from 200 to 800 inhabitants TO dispense
with parish councils, and it was rejected
by vote of PIP TO lGl. This is the amend
ment offered by Lord Salisbury last
Friday in the House of Lords.
After rejecting the Salisbury amend
ment concerning councils in parishes OF
200 TO 500 population, the House of Com
mons considered the other Salisbury
amendment, which provided that the
parish councils might choose but a third
OF the trustees oflOcal charities. Despite
the Earl of Kimberly's statement that
the government would reject it. this
amendment was passed by vote of ~ 70
81 in the House Of Lords last Friday
evening
All the radicals and many liberals were
in favor Of simply Cancelling the altera-
ton made by the peers and restoring the
proposal giving the councils full power
over local charities.
A CONFLICT AvERTED.
James Chamberlain, leader Of the lib
eral uniouists, supported BY Arthur j.
Balfour, leader of the whole opposition,
averJed conflict on this point by moving
a compromise TO which the House ulti-
mately a9reed. This compromise was
embodied in the optional mot obligatory
provision that the majority of the trus-
tees OF the local charities should be nOmi-
mated by the parish councils. The gov
eminent accepted this compromise with
out hesitation.
The amendment made in the House of
Lords by the Duke of Devonshire, leader
Of the liberal unionist peers, was consid-
cred next. This amendment was to vest
in the county councils the control of the
compulsory purchase of allotments under
the allotment act and the hiring of land.
According TO the original measure
submitted by the government such con-
troll was 70 rest with the parish councils.
This evening, however, the government
accepted the Duke of Devonshire's plan,
and the house agreed to the change.
The concessions thus made by the COM
mons virtually completes the accord be-
tween the houses.
The sitting was adjourned until Thurs
day, when parliament will DE prorogued.

a HEN-PEoKED BACHELOR.
An Amusing Experience in a Bed
Chamber at Live Oak.

Chamber at Live Oak.
Waycross, Ca, Feb. 26-"You have
doubtless heard of hen-pecked husbands, s"
remarked a gentleman this morning, "but
Twill tell you Of a hen-pecked bachelor.
Some time ago a bachelor, who lived at
Old Magnolia, in Clinch county, was on a
visit to Live Oak, Fla. He was stopping
with a friend. who had a rare collection
of rattlesnakes, some alive and others
stuffed in the house. His friend showed
him the snakes and related stories of their
capture in an interesting manner. FL
nally the bachelor was shown room
which he should occupy for the night
He retired and discovered that the bed
was little short, as he was six feet four
Suddenly he was awakened by something
picking at his feet which he supposed was
rattlesnakes. He cried, Murder!
murder! Help! help!" His host
quickly appeared on the scene and
was told of the trouble. He could not
account for the strange affair, and sup
posed that his friend had a nightmare
Finally the bachelor was left alone and
began to doze. He let his feet hang over
the foot of the bed. "Horrorsui he ex-
claimed; Il feel the fangs of the rattle
snake entering my feet and l will die. s"
He again called for help louder than be-
lOIo- Inc uOsJ came up anu Inaue thor
ough search. Nothing was seen of a RATHER,
and he began To feel annoyed. The
bachelor was nervous and happened olet
his feet hang over the foot of the bed g.,
when he again felt the fangs of what he
supposed TO be RATHER strike his feet.
Murder! Help" he cried, frighte
almost TO desperation. The host made a
quick search of the room again, and
finally came to a barrel at the foot of the
bed. He thrust his hand inside the bar
rel and something struck him. Looking
inside the barrel he saw a setting hen.
The mystery was solved The bachelor
admitted that the hen was the cause of
his fright. Both laughed heartily over
the affair"
