MRS. PLACE EXECUTED.
The First Woman to Die In the Electric
Chair In the State of New York.

Chair In the State of New York.
New York, March 22.--Mrs. Martha
Place was executed at Sing Sing prison
Monday. She was the first woman to
die In the electric chair in the state of
New York, and she went to her death
quietly. But two shocks were Qiven
and death was instantaneous. The
voltage of the current was 1850, and IL
was continued for four seconds. 1t was
then gradually diminished to 600 volt
age, which was continued for Sc sec
onds, The prison physician then ex-
amlned the woman and ordered a sec
ond shock, the same as the arst in
power and cntinuingthe same length of
time. The second shock has always
been administered at Sing Sing.
Mrs. Place murdered her step-daugh-
ter, Ida M. Place, a mere girl. on Feb
ruary 7, 1898. She first threw vitrol in
the girls eyes and then smothered her.
This was early in the morning in their
home in Brooklyn. She waited all day
for her husband to return and then at
tackled him with an ak, fracturing his
skull and otherwise seriously injuring
him. Place, however, recovered.
Mrs. Place was convicted and sem
fenced to death, but she never for a
moment believed that she would be
electrocuted. She at first claimed she
could remember nothing OF the murder,
and later the plea OF insanity was sub
mitted in her behalf, and as last re-
sort Governor Roosevelt was petitioned
to exercise clemency, but the governor
refused to interfere

NAVY'S NEW POWDER.
La Regarded as Superior to Any Used by
Foreign Powers.

Foreign POwers.
Washington, March 2O.-The navy
department is ready to take the neces.
sary steps in carrying out the provision
of the naval bill for the purchase of
smokeless powder during the coming
year. The navy has now a powder
known to the profession as pyrocellu-
lose, which is equal to, il not better
than any smokeless powder used by
foreign powers. Contrary to reports,
the new powder, which has been test
ed by the navy under service con-
ditions, is not only not injurious
to the guns now in use, but has been
so nicely adjusted to their requireme n I
that II has increased their efficiency on
an average of 500 second feet.

DEADLY CYCLONE.
Many People Killed and Much Property De.
stroyed In Alabama and Mississippi


Memphis, Tenn, March 2o.--A series
OF windstorms swept through portions
OF Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas
yesterday, doing an immense amount
OF property damage and killing a num-
Der Of people. The storms covered q
radius of several hundred miles, de-
stroying telegraph wires and cutting
of com munication with a large section
OF country. Cleburn county, Alabama,
seems to have suffered the most severe
ly, the storm assuming the proportions
OF tornado. The reports of fatalaties
In the county vary from six to twenty
and many more are said to be injured
AT Sellers and Luverne, Ala, much
damage is reported, and at Rob Roy,
Ark, one man was killed and several
were badly injured. Dumas, Ark was
nearly wiped out of existence and sew
eral other towns In the vicinity suf-
fered severely. One person is reported
killed atHickory Flat, Miss, and as the
farmhouses in the vicinity suffered
heavily, it is not unlikely many fatal
tiles occurred which have not yet been
reported.
Reports from different points in Ar
kansas, Mississippi and Alabama indi-
cate that in the storms which swept
over those states eighteen persons were
killed outright and twenty-one injured,
as follows:
Alabama, sixteen killed, four injured;
Arkansas, one killed, seven injured;
Mississippi, one killed, ten injured
The property loss will run into the
hundreds of thousands.
