A COMPLICATED SITU1TION.

A weli-known New York scientist has
prevailed upon Governor Flower to al
low him to experiment with the next
victim of the electrocution chair, and
ascertain whether the supposed dead
man cannot be brought back to life. The
high reputation OF the physician who is
to make the trial is q guarantee that the
undertaking has some chance of success,
and il it should succeed. what then?
When the felon condemned to death
in New York hss been put through the
process OF electrocution and pronounced
by the attendant physician to be thor
oughly dead, justice is satisfied and the
law has no further control of him.
With any little reeurrections that may
be arranged thereafter the courts GER
tainly have nothing to do. and cannot
be supposed TO interfere any more than
they would issue an injunction against
Gabriel to prevent him from blowing
his trumpet to raise all the dead at
once. Tine status OF the electrocuted
murderer called back to life would there
fore be a peculiarly complicated one,
that would call for the exercise of the
best legal intellect to be found in tho
City of Brotherlv Love to disentangle it.
Would he be allowed to go about like
OF the moon" or perhaps giving himself
the honor of an encore OF his former
trial? Ii 40, what was the uee of the
expense of the trial and the high toned
and ultra scientific ceremony that fol-
lowed alter? Or is it assumed that the
revived cadaver will really be new
man purged of ell Gin by the efficacy of
several thousand volts, and prepared to
launch into the lecture field or to go
upon the stage?
However, the notorious unwillingness
OF the law TO let 60 its grip when it has
once fastened its hold, lends color to the
euepicion that no such good luck awaits
the resurrected electrocutee. A fresh
deal will probably be called for ali
around the doctors who declared him
dead when he was not will be replaced
by others who can diagnose a case of
that sort better. and the electric cur
rent, increased by fsw thousand volts,
will be applied in some new place.
While the murderer will thus be CUBS
jected to the annoyance of being killed
twice, he may nevertheless congratulate
himself that his trial does not have to
be repeated.
IT the experiment should prove sue
cess, it might be we'll hereafter in the
state OF New York to supplement the
electrocuting process with the good, cid.

THEY ARE UP IN ARMS.
MERCHANTS PROTEST AGAINST
THE POLICE COMMISSION.
1t All Happened on Account of the
Granting of Saloon L..
cense North
Spring Street.

Many OF the business men along
Spring street, between First and Tenn
Pile, are up in arms because of the action
OF the police commission il granting a
liquor license to Herman Markwalder at
146 North Spring street. Two OF the
members have called meeting OF the
commission for this morning, at 10
O'Clock, to reconsider the matter, but
there is hardly likelihood that all OF
the commissioners will be present.
The matter has created much dissat-
isfac,ion, aud not few OF the business
men are after the seal ps of Mayor Rowan
and Commissioner Arnold, who voted to
grant the license. Mr.. Bosbyshell op-
posed it and Mr.. Bradish was absent.
Mr.. Bosbyshell said he opposed it be.
cause of the lack of the customary two
thirds feet of frontage, and it was upon
this point that the trouble was encoun-
tered in the commission meeting.
The facts OF the matter are that so me
time ago Markwalder, who is q bar
tender for Charles Bauer, secured the
signatures Of persons representing 759
feet frontage who favored the license.
The application was referred to Chief
Glass, and while it was in his hands one
signer, Pierre Larronde, representing
GO feet, withdrew his name. The appli.
cant then took the petition to secure ad.
ditional signatures, as Larronde's with
drawal brought the figures below the
required two-thirds. When the appli-
cation was again taken into the COM
mission meeting, the Withdrawals OF the
names of E. d. Amestoy and E. ].
Baldwin, representing 270 feet, had to
be met. This lowered the frontage way
below the two-thirds limit, but when 1t
came to vote the question arose as to
whether the Withdrawals were made
properly and whether they could be
accepted.
Both the mayor and Mr.. Arnold took
the negative, and voted Bosbyshell
down on the proposition. Mr.. Bosby-
shell contsnded for a continuance until
@ full membership of the commission
could be present, but it was in vain.
Now it remains to be seen whether the
commission will take water or abide by
the wiehes OF the business men OF that
part Of the city, and it is hoped the conn
mission will get session this morning.
Among those who are on the protest
against the saloons establishment are
Victor Ponet, H. Jevne and many busi-
nese men all along the street; IN fact,
all but two OF the business men along
Spring street. from First to Temple
streets. They do not reflect on the
character of the petitioner, but contend
that it will be I'M urious to the street to
grant another license.

The Cost of the Recent Strike.

According to an estimate made by
the New York Recorder the great
strike in which the railroad and other
employees were recently engaged hass
cost fully $13, 500, 900 up to date. The
railroads, it is estimated, have lost
$5,312, 900, the railroad employees
about $4,000, 900, other wage earners
about 81, 150,0 the United States
government 81, 100000, the states for
militia service about $780,, 900, "while
the Pullman employees, who had lost
about 100000 through their own
strike before Debs' organization took
up the fight for them, have lost $780,
600 more These estimates do not
include several millions of dollars
worth of perishable goods lost by delay
in transit.
