A new voice was heard AT Mortified ycster-
day one certain to command wide and close at
tcntion II was the voice Of the Rev. Andrew
Murray. who has had q remarkable career as a
missionary and preacher. For nearly half cen
fury he has had charge Of a church in Yelling
ton, South Africa. and his writings are well
known throughout the Christian world. The i'm
precision created by his first address was dis
tinctly favorable, and he will be one Of the lead
ing attractions Of the present conference. Mr..
Moody has the faculty Of calling strong men
around him. Another Of yesterdays speakers
was Prebendary Wcbb-Peploe. Of st. Pauls
Cathedral, London. who spoke with much acccp-
liability at Mortified, and Is likely to be heard
with equal favor elsewhere during his stay in
this country.

Some professed experts have been contending
that electricity as an agent in the execution OF

cases really results from the surgeons knife.
That Is not the opinion Of Mr.. Edison and MI.

long and diligent study Of electricity are doubt
less more competent than any others to pass
Judgment on this question. Mr.. Edison. as, the
interview with him printed in another column
shows, IS especially emphatic and ouispoken
While Mr.. Tesla declined to talk for publication,
his views are equally clear. Furthermore what
these high authorities say is fully corroboraied
by the report Of two experts made TO the Cover

Spirit OF the Indian Killed at Gray Horse
Now on Earth.
About six weeks. ago an Usage In
dian named Webster was killed at
Usage village, near Gray Horse. His
wife and mothe-in-law were first
charged with numbering HIM, but at
the Investigation OF the matter II was
decided that Webster came TO his DEATH
by falling upon butcherknife in his
own hands while running after his
squaw and threatening to kill her.
The Indians all accepted this verdict
at the time, but now declare that
there is something wrong, as the spirit
OF the dead man returns among them
every night weeping and wailing and
demanding justice. Every night at
the very hour that Webster died
strange, wailing sound is heard where
his old wigwam stood and a lumirou
appea ling object moves about for
time Many white people have seen it
and can not explain; while tie Indians
all declare that he is demanding TO be
avenged.
So agitated have they become over
the ma tier that they are abandoning
the village and ali moving to other
parts Of the reservation.
