Naming the County Road.

Some time ago the journal" started
a fake agitation regarding a lame for
the new County Road The News de-
precated any such nonsense, pointing
out that the name Hudson Boulevard
was the only one worthy of considera-
ton, combining as it does accuracy of
descriptions, good common sense, and the
concession which is due to local pride.
Major P~angborn promptly endorsed
.'The News" view, but some of the I'M
disciplined young people of his go-as-you-
please staff kept on agitating the sub
ject. Yesterday, however, the Journal
made a clean ~back-down. 1t said
Public sentiment is veering toward
one name, that of Hudson Boulevard.
Several correspondents dislike the Word
boulevard" on the ground that in this
case it is a missioner, but the name was
early given to the road, and has stuck.
The vote of Hudson Boulevard IS eight
against seven for the next highest narne;
That name suits the journal as Wen
as any other.
| esteemed contemporary for this gener-
Gus tribute to the strength of The
News as a guide of public opinion.
BY the way, if the original plans are
carried out, the word Boulevard will
not be ~misapplied. The original scheme
contemplated planting the road with
| trees. Has that feature dropped through
| the hole in the appropriation?

rhe Recent Murder Convictions.

The conviction of DurTant in SAP
phia are like the convictions of Carlyle
Harris and DR.. Buchanan in New York,
the products of a negative train of rea-
soning. There has been in all four
cases a total lack of direct proof against
the prisoners. but a careful weighing OF
probabilities seemed to exclude all other
theories regarding the victims fates
save those which pointed to their guilt.
This is a new phase of criminal juris-
prudence. Formerly, something like di-
rect proof was required, and the ac-
cused was entitled to the benefit of
every reasonable doubt. This can no
longer be said of the common law as
preaching nearer and nearer every day
to the French system in which all the
circumstances of the prisoners life, and
all sorts of outside circumstances, such as
the other alleged murders by Holmes
and the ~seeond-tirst in time-of the bel
fry murders in the Durrant case, are
taken into consideration in building up
a case of probability, amounting to prac-
teal certainty. but lacking any element
of final confirmation.
1t can hardly be thought that, thus
far. this method has wrought any posi-
tive evil. It is impossible to entertain
the notion that Harris and Buchanan
were not guilty, and nobody really thinks
that either Durrant or Holmes is inno-
cent. Yet it is equally impossible not
to sue how dangerous this sort of convic-
tion is. Probability is a queer thing,
and there are cases of fallacious circum-
stancial evidence calculated to shake any
| ones faith. If the exclusive process is
to be the settled practice of our courts,
! it is pretty sure that ooner or later SER
| ious injustice will result.

lLLIrERAcY IN THE LARGE STATES
Effete Fast Less Educated Than the
Rising West.

Washington, ID. c., Nov 2.-Since the
termination of his connection with the
United States census bureau, as its spe-
cial expert agent in charge of agricul-
ture, etc, John Hyde, whose volumes
of statistics are accepted by statesmen,
politicians and political economists
throughout the world, as unquestiona-
BILE authority, has been devoting much
of his time to the question of popular
education in this country. One of the
most surprising results of his inVesti-
cations is contained in the statement
of the prevailing illiteracy in the diff
ferent states of the Union which was
made public for the first time today
Contrary to the prevailing idea that the
east is the most highly cultured section
of the country, he finds that, in the mat
ter of popular education the state of
Nebraska heads the list, with only 81
persons per thousand unable to read
and write
The ratio of illiteracy in some of the
other large states of the Union is as fol-
lows: Massachusetts with G2 illiterate
inhabitants per thousand, Connecticut
SO, New York 80, Pennsylvania 6S, Ohio
81, Michigan SO, Wisconsin 67, Indiana
6S, Illinois 81, Minnesota and North Da-
ltota each 60, California n, Missouri 81,
and the country at large 1873.

TOLD IN A VISION
Mexican Judges Authority for
the Burning Of Ten Heretics.
AN OPEN AR MAD HOUSE
Whole Population of Texaeap pa Ahsorbs d
by the Superstiiious Frenzy
OF the IlC ur-

New York, Nov. 3.-The World con-
of 10 heretics by the judge of the Mexi-
can town of Texacapa, which is pub
lished today in special dispatch from
Pachauca. The dispatch says:
AS soon as the news reached Mol
lange, the principal town in the dis
trict, the municipal president and mi
nor officials, with an escort of over 60
men, armed with rifles, went to Tex
acapa, where they found everybody in
the public square executing grotesque
dances in honor of the Virgin of Quad
aloupe, around the ruins of the jail, a
small building close to the parish
church.
In this Jail previous to Saturday had
been confined Nicolas Hernandes, Mar
tin Santiago, Jose Manuel, Casper Her
nandes, Juan Tomas, Juan Tomas, I'd,
Maria Juana, Maria Magdalena, Maria
Conception and an infant child They
had been rudely hustled from their
homes at the dead of night on an ex-
traordinary charge preferred by the
auxiliary town judge that their lives
were an evil in the sight of God and
that they were enemies of the faith and
heretics whom God had ordered.
through his holy saint, to be consumed
by fire.
The auxiliary judge related this with
the utmost sangfroid to the authorities.
He added that God wrought astonish-
ing miracles to confirm what the saint
had told him in a vision.
Said the judge: "I obeyed the divine
command and ordered out my consta-
bles, and we took these sinners from
their beds and dragged them in the
darkness of night weeping and wall
ing, to the Jail. When they were locked
securely in 1 ordered constables to set
the building on fire."
Twenty-one arrests were made, al
though the fanatical mob threatened
death to the authorities.
The prisoners, securely bound around
the arms and chained together, were
marched to Mollange, where a judicial
investigation will take place. The
whole population of Texacapa appears
to have gone mad. All believe the aux
iliary judge was commissioned by The
Almighty and the saints to destroy the
evildoers They point to a pile of bones
on which they profess to see miracu
lously traced outline forms of the
saints, who, on advising the judge tc
burn the heretics, left their images.
The community is nothing but ar
open-air madhouse.

AWARD OF THE sIxiNEw euNBoATs
Two to BE Built at san Francisco, the
Others in the Far Enst

Washington, Nov. 2.-Secretary Her
bert has rendered his decision as to the
award of the contracts for the six new
gunboats authorized by the last con-
gress.
Two of the boats. the twin screw
steamers go to the Union Iron Works.
San Francisco the two single screw
boats go to the Bath Iron Works, Bath
Maine; one boat to Lewis Nixon, of the
Crescent Ship Building Co.. Elizabeth,
N j., and one to John Dialogue G. Son.
of Camden. N. j.
1t was thought the awards could have
been made before this time, as General
Hyde, president of the Bath Iron
Works, consented to modify his bid to
meet the department requirements, but
at the last moment the Detroit Dry
Dock Company, the lowest bidders, ap-
pealed to the president from Secretary
Herberts action in accepting their bid
and not till this morning did the presi-
dent make the decision, sustaining the
secretary in the view that treaty stip-
ulations prohibit the building of naval
vessels on the great lakes.
