TWO MURDERERs ELECTROCUTED
The First Under the New Capital Punish
ment Law In Ohio.

VI
Columbus, O., April 21.-The first
electrocutions in Ohio took place to-day
shortly after midnight in the annex of
the penitentiary. The electrical chairs
have been in place for several weeks.
They are similar to those used in New
York.
The electrocutlon Of William Haas
was set for April 8, but owing to the
burning out of the armature on the
| electrocution dynamo, the electrocution
| had to be postponed and Governor
| Buhnsell fixed the date so that Haas
would be electrocuted on the day set
for the electrocution of William Wiley.
| A new one was secured, and the test
| to-day showed that it was fully up to
| the requirements. To prevent any pos
sibility of the armature being tampered
with an extra guard was placed in the
dynamo room.
Haas and Wiley, the condemned men,
passed the day in reading and religious
devotion. The death warrants were
read to them during the morning.
Haas, who is nineteen years of age, has
been Indifferent as to his fate ever
since his arrival at the annex.
The crime for which Haas was cleo
| trocuted was the criminal assault and
murder of Mrs. Brader, whose throat
he cut with razor. To cover up the
crime he fired the house.
| Wiley murdered his wife on the west
side of Cincinnati twenty days after
Haas committed his crime.
Haas was the first to be electrocuted
He was strapped in the chair at 1927
When he was brought into the electro
cution room he closely scrutinized the
chair and was pushed into it. The
current was turned on for period OF
two seconds, three times in succession
AS soon as the body of Haas was taken
out of the chair Wiley was brought in
and at 1885 he was strapped in the
chair. Both electrocutions were salts
factory. Both men were nervy to the
| last

THE s1TUarroN IN CRETE.
The Powers VIII Endeavor to Endow the
Island with Autonomy.

London, April 20.-On good authority
The Associated Press is informed that
the war between Greece and Turkey
will not affect the situation in Crete.
The powers, having gained the safety Of
the Mussulman population there, will
continue their efforts to pacify the
island and endow it with autonomy.
The officials of the Turkish embassy
here believe from the wording of Ed
hem Pasha's dispatch to the Turkish
government, that the Greeks will make
no great stand until the Turks reach
Larissa, where the main battle, it is
thought, will be fought. This seems
probable as Prince Constantine, the
Greek commander-in-chief has left
Tyrnavo for Larissa.
Several British officers, both on the
active list and belonging to the re-
serve, have offered their services at the
Turkish embassy, one of them volun-
teering to equip thirty men for service
against the Greeks and to bear all the
expense of taking them to the frontier
The officials of the embassy have re-
ferred all such offers to the government
at Constantinople.

BUILDING ORDINANCE TABLED.
G. G. Andrew g. Co. to Withdraw-Con.
tagious Disease Hospital.

The committee on ordinances last
evening voted to recommend that C. c..
Andrew & Co., who petitioned the
court of common council to allow them
to erect at their new meat storage
house, carriers over the sidewalk, be
given leave to withdraw.
The building ordinance and the
amendment relating to theater hats
were tabled, as was the petition of the
Amalgamated Engineers for an ordi-
nance requiring engineers to be exam
ined by a competent board. The latter
petition was tabled at the request of the
petitioners.
The matter in reference to the con-
tagious disease hospital is being con-
sidered by the committee. Two things
are practically settled, the first, that
there will be an unfavorable repart on
the proposition to build an emergency
hospital with a contagious disease
ward, and that any arrangements can
be made with the New Haven hospital
to care for people suffering with con-
tagious diseases.
The committee will visit the hospital
on Thursday and report at the meeting
on Wednesday next.

TURKS HOLD MILOUNA PASS.

Moslem Soldiers Press Forward Singing
and Crying With JOY Like Children.
Summit of the Milouna Pass, Monday
of yesterday in the Milouna pass was
complete. The enemy retired to the
Plain of Thessaly, leaving only rear
guard on a hill. from which it was driv-
en- later by four battalions of Turkish
infantry.
The Turks pulled up to the top of the
hill, three mountain batteries singing,
laughing and weeping with joy like
children One battery opened fire upon
the Greeks, who were retreating on the
Plain Of Traves and did terrible exc
cution. The correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press saw some of the Turkish
shells burst in the middle of a serried
battalion of Greeks, with the result
that whole groups were killed or wound
ed.
Yesterday evening seven new Turkish
battalions and several mounted batter
les of artillery left for the frontier, and
at dawn the latter were trained on the
Greek block-house on the plain below.
Junes Effendi, the Turkish comman-
der and his men had been twenty-six
hours without food or drink When
they were preparing to capture the
Greek block-house Junes said to his SOL
diers:
"Al those who love God must advance
to the assault"
This was enough. Every man, with
loud, .exultant shouts, dashed forward
in the direction of the block-house
Even the Muleteers, who were bringing
up the reserve ammunition, Joined in
the assault on the block-house, which
was held by the Greeks with magnifi-
cent courage. The Turks, with splen-
did dash, charged with the bayonet and
eventually leaped over the ramparts
with shouts of triumph. The Greeks
waited until the Turks were within
thirty yards before withdrawing.
In this assault the Turks had only
sixteen men killed and seventeen
wounded.
Everywhere was to be seen the effect
of the Turkish artillery. Their terrible
shells burst just at the calculated mo-
ment. The Greeks, on the other hand,
appeared to be lacking in artillery.
AS the correspondent is writing this
dispatch, the Greeks attempted to re-
ply to the Turkish artillery, but they
were eventually forced to retire.
The correspondent saw numberless
Greek bodies stripped of their uniforms
by the Turks, leaving only their shirts
and drawers on. Most of the dead,
however, were carried off by the Turks,
who raised the corpses of the Greeks
reverently and placed them beneath the
shade of trees.
The Turkish losses in the fighting of
yesterday were only fifty killed and $50
wounded.

WIRES HIS VICTORIES.


Constantinople, April 20. - Edhem
Pasha has wired the sultan that he
gained several notable victories yester-
day, occupying all of the fortified po-
sitions commanding Tyrnavo. He re-
ports that the Greeks evacuated their
entrenched camp, leaving rifles. The
Turks, he says, have retaken Velitzko,
which the Greeks surprised and cap
tured on the first day of frontier ag-
gression.
The Turkish commander at Janina
announces that the Greek fleet which
has been bombarding Prevesa has been
compelled to retire one division, with
drawing to the interior of the gulf and
the larger iron clads sailing for Santa
Maura.
An official telegram from Zanta re-
ports that the Greeks landed at Flu
theropoli and reached Gojart, near the
railway, were attacked and defeated by
Turkish troops and peasants, and that
100 Greeks were killed.

GRANr MON UMENr DEDIoATIoN.
Itinerary of the President and His Party
Mrs. Grant Will be Present.

Washington, April 20.-The arrange
ments for the presidents trip to New
York to attend the dedication of the
Grant monument, April 26, have been
perfected. President Mckinley with his
family, the members ofthe cabinet and
their wives, the ambassadors and min
listers of foreign countries and a rev
specially invited guests, will leave here
on a special train on the Pennsylvania
railroad at 1890 monday morning, ar
irving in New York at 4:30.
General Miles, commander of the
army, and Admiral Brown, the ranking
admiral of the navy, will accompany
the president as a special escort. The
president and his immediate party will
go to the Windsor hotel The members
of the cabinet and members of the dip
lomatic corps, will be quartered at the
Fifth avenue hotel. No time has been
set for the return of the party on We'd
neSday.
Vice President Hobart and the mem
bers of the senate and house will leave
here on a special train on Tuesday. The
precaution of having the president and
vice president travel separately on such
occasions is taken because While no
danger is anticipated it is regarded as
wise to guard against the remotest pos
sibility of embarrassing the admins
tration of the government in case OF the
disability of the president.
Mrs. Grant said to-day she was going
to New York next week to attend the
ceremonies and that there was no basis
for the reports that her health was too
poor to permit her to be present

DINGLEY TARIFF Bill.
A Revenne Measure 1t Will be-Retro-
active Clause to be Modified,

Washington, April 20.-One of the
members of the ways and means COM
mittee said to-day that the Dingley bill
would be a revenue bill and not a pro-
hibitive bill. The committee has prac-
tically agreed upon a modification of
the retroactive clause of the Dngley
bill, which, it is hoped, will be salts
factory to the opponents of the house
provision. The wool growers are not
satisfied with the rates of the Mantle
amendment, but want a complete
change of classification and still insist
that no wool shall be admitted for less
than eight cents a pound. While some
changes are probable in this schedule,
it is quite certain these demands will
not be met

Frank Connors and Highwayman Ben
Johnson, desperadoes, shot and proba-
bly, fatally wounded Jailer Frank Kins-
man at the Wyandotte county Jail to-

officials came to his rescue
After being locked up Connors and
Johnson attempted to commit suicide,
each taking a big dose of opium. They
were found unconscious and groaning,

fore the doctors could get them out of
danger. 1t is believed that both will

Athens, April 20.-An official dispatch

vancing northward in the direction of
Paraskevi The Greeks repulsed an at

WILL NOT SUPPORT 1YoRY.
United States Government VIII Not Press
His Claim Against England.

Washington, April 20.-The United
States government will not support the
demand of the British government for
indemnity for Edward Ivory, who was
in prison for some time as suspect of
being connected in dynamite plot.
The proceedings to which Ivory were
subjected, it has been found, were reg
ular in every respect and similar in
every point to those that would be i'm
posed in the case of any foreigner or
native in the United States, so there is
no substantial reason for the interfer-
ence Of the United States government

CORBETT CHALLENGE FIYZ
And Deposits $4,000 as Guarantee o
His Sincerity

His Sincerity.
New York, April 20-To end all
doubts as to his sincerity of purpose,
James J. Corbett to-day formally chal-
lenged Robert Fitzsimmons to meet
him once again in the prize ring and
Ienge was as follows:
ITO Robert F'itzsimmons, Champion of
the World:
"I hereby challenge you to box me
any number of rounds for the cham
pionship of the world, under the pro-
visions of the law, before the club Of
fering the best inducements.
''As it would be a violation of the law
to propose a side stake, that is a detail
that may be settled at your pleasure.
''As an evidence of my sincerity, how
ever. l have to-day deposited the sum
of $4,000, which 1 invite you to cover,
and name a time and place to meet me
and arrange the final details.
yours truly,
JAMES ]. CORBETT"
Philadelphia, April O.-Fitzsimmons
tonight declared that he meant to pay
no attention to challenges from Corbett
or anybody eles for time. as he had
earned a rest and meant to have it. He
added, however, that he proposed to fol-
low COrbett's example as dictator of the
prize ring and his reply was that the
latter should earn a reputation as a
fighter instead of a boxer before he pre-
sumed to challenge him.

Athens, April 20.-A dispatch from
Arta says that 5000 Greeks have cross
