IMPROVED ROAD MAKING.
An Interesting Interview with the
Secretary of Agriculture.

An Interesting Interview with the
Secretary of Agriculture.
The Importance of good roads is rec
ognized by all, and so is the expense
necessary to produce them considered
of equal significance. Upon the sub
iect William E. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record, says: Secretary Wilson has
given directions to Gen. Roy Stone,
chief of the bureau of good roads at
the department of agriculture, to con-
struct sample stegl roadway at the
most convenient location he can find
at the Nashville exposition, where it
may be seen and studied by the visit
ors who will attend during the sum-
mer. Secretary Wilson thinks the
steel trackway for wagons is the east
est solution Of the good-roads prob
lem, particularly in the west, where
stone and gravel are scarce and the
soil is deep and sticky.
NO road material promises so much
hope to the western farmers as the fiat
bars of steel at the present cost of
manufacture" said the secretary,
"and l propose to have sample roads
built, not only at the Nashville eX-
position, but at different points
throughout the country, where they
will afford practical object lessons to
county commissioners and other Of
iicials having the highways under
their charge. The steel manufacturers
are taking hold of the matter with

Boston, April pa special to the
Journal from Montreal today says:
Joseph E. Kelley confessed today 10
the murder of Cashier Stickney at
Somersworth, n. H. He admitted that
he committed both the murder and
robbery, and says he had no accom-
plice. He vehemently insisted, how
ever that he had had no intention of
killing the cashier, but that he had to
do it because the old gentleman recog-
nized him. After telling Mr.. Stickney
with blows on the head, when the
cashier showed signs of regaining con-
seriousness he slaShed him with a knife.
When Kelley arose this morning he
sent for Chief Carpenter and made a
confession to him to the effect that he
alone committed the murder and that
he had hidden the remainder of the
from st. Justine de Newton
The chief then decided to go and find
the money and started off with his
prisoner and his companions for the
early train.
In talking to Detective Colo. Kelley
told a great many strange incidents
about his trip. Among other things he
intlmated that he had stolen the
clothes with which he was disguised
from an old woman whom he met at
ST. Justine de Newton.
At Aggie Ashton's house in Montreal
Kelley said that he was man out
for a lark and was admitted. The
woman suspected Kelley and 'teie-
phoned for the police. When he left
the house in charge of the officers he
said:
well, goodbye, girls. The next time
you hear of me it will be at the end of
a rope" and he laughingly made a
sign which meant that he was going TO
be hanged.

SENT FOR THE MAYOR.
Friday Family Have a Two Hours
Conversation With Him.

After being released from custody
last evening, Mrs. Hamilton went to
the home of her father, No. 544 West
Third South. a message was sent from
there to the mayor asking him to come
down. He responded and was there for
two hours, from Z until 8 o'clock.
When he came back he declined to
give the press any information concern
ing the interview.
A reporter called at the Friday home
last evening at a late hour to ascertain
if there was anything which could be
learned in connection with the affair.
Mr.. Friday answered the door, and in
response 20 questions said that his
daughter had nothing to say.
1T is rumored in the city that she
has confessed; that she will admit that
she killed Hamilton, but did it in self
defense
My daughter has said nothing of the
sort" was the reply. She has no con-
fession TO make, can make none; she
knows nothing of the killing whatever.
How could she confess anything?"
Then the old gentleman. after declar-
ing that this was the fourth visit that
evening, asked if the reporter thought
he kept his house open all night, and
went back 70 bed.

Columbus, o.. April 20-The first cleo
trocutions in Ohio took place this morn
ing shortly after midnight, in the an
mex of the Ohio penitentiary, where for
the past IS years capital punishment
has been meted out TO all persons under
sentence of death in the state by hang
ing. The electrical chair and appli-
ances have been in place in the old
execution room for several weeks. They
are similar to those used in New York.
The electrocution of William Haas
was set for April s. but owing to the
burning out of the armature on the
electrocution dynamo, the electrocution
had to be postponed and Governor
Bushnell fixed the date SO that Haas
would be electrocuted on the day set
for the electrocution of William Wiley.
a new armature. to be used onlv for
electrocutiOns, was secured and the test
today showed that it was fully up to
requirements. To prevent any posi-
bility of the armature being tempered
with, an extra guard was placed in the
dynamo room. Haas and Wiley. the
condemned men. passed the dav in
reading and in religious devotions.

Brader was absent in Cincinnati, Haas

arrested on the afternoon of the same
day at Hamilton, o.. and taken TO Gin

was secured from him.
William Wiley murdered his wife on
the west side of Cincinnati 20 days after
Haas committed his crime. Wiley was
