VERY SUDDEN DEATH.
Two Murderers EIectrocuted
at Auburn Inside Nine
teen Minutes.

AUBURN, N. Y, Aug. 2, 1899.-Before
the morning sun had risen far enough
above the horizon to tighten the gray
walls of the prison here, the State of
New York had hurled two men into eter-
nifty. If the agong of waiting for death
for months can be eliminated both of the
murderers met their death with greater
dispatch than their victims. Oscar Rice,
a white man. walked into the death cham
Der at precisely eithteen minutes after
five O'Clock, and within four minutes was
officially pronounced dead. Ten minutes
later, although the witnesses had to be
changed, John Kennedy negro sat
down in the fatal chair and was killed.
Rice had taken some hours to kill his wife
whom he stabbed with a pocket knife, and
Kennedy had provoked a quarrel and
then stabbed to death John Hummings in
Buffalo. From the time that Rice enter
ed the death cell to the time Kennedy
was pronounced dead, was just nineteen
and one-haf minutes.
The executions were devoid of incident.
The men were Of exactly different pfysi-
cal qualities. Rice, poor puny speci-
men of humanity, was supported to the
chair in what looked like a dying condi-
ton. 1t is safe to say that had he been
reprieved at the moment that he was
was seated in the chair ne would have
ben unable to have arisen.
On the contrary. Kennedy, the colored
man, who. sitting in his cell, had heard
the guards come for Rice and had waited
for them to carry out the dead body and
come for him, walked into the room
without assistance, kissed the crucfhx
and handed it back to the priest and sat
down in the chair without assistance
At four o'clock, while the prisoners
eleven hundred in number, were still
sleeping, Chaplain Cordell o. Herrick,
who attended Rice, and Father Hickey
who attended Kennedy, went to the pris-
oners cells and awoke them.
Both men ate little breakfast and
from that time till five o'clock received
spiritual advice. At precisely 5:Is o'clock
Rice crossed the sill of the door leading
to the death chamber and was supported
TO the chair In less than two minutes
ne had been strapped and 1750 volts Of
electricity were sent into his body This
was continued with, reduced *current for
dead.
Those of the witnesses who were only
to see one execution left the death house
and In just ten minutes the new witnesses
had been seated and Kennedy was cross
ing the threshold of the room in which ne
was to meet his death. He walked in
calmly, kissed the crucifix, which he held
In his hand handed it uD TO the priest
and sat down in the chair
Two minutes later the current was
turned into his body and after sixty see
onds of contact the physicians declared
him dead. The entire time consumed for
the two executions was nineteen and one
half minutes.

ORIGINAL STRIKERS
Hoboken Ironwokers Leave
aScabs" Alone and Have
Stag.

The strike inaugurated yesterday among
the iron workers in Hoboken is still on
The men held another meeting this morn
ing in Daab's Hall, on River street, and
received reports from the New York head
quarters on the progress of the brethren.
Fourteen of the shops there have given
in to the demand for a shorter working
schedule.
After the meeting the Hoboken men sus-
tanned the reputation of their native town
for originality. Instead of lettering around
their shops and trying to prevent scabs
from working, as other strikers general
ly do, the men remained in the hall and
inaugurated an informal stag. A piano
and stage, several volunteer singers and
other amateur talent kept the gathering
amused for over four hours.
James sOstrand, ex-president of Union
No. 1853. when seen by a News man. ex-
pressed the opinion that the strike would
be over soon
"One shop" said he, has already con-
sented to The new schedule and a com
mittee has been appointed to wait upon
the other bosses and endeavor to have
them sign. We all expect to be back at
work before another week. z

PARIS HAD NO WARNING
Claims for Salvage Dismissed in
Admiralty Court

IBy Gable to The Associated Press.l
FALMOUTH. Aug. 2. 1Ss9.-In the Ad-
miralty Court today the pilots belonging
to No. 13 sued the owners of the Ameri-
can Line steamer Paris for e300 salvage
services in showing the vessel a wssrning
light, thus causing the Paris to change
her course and avoid the 2Ianaeles Rocks.
Captain Watkins and the second and
third officers of the steamer denied having
interpreted the pilots fiashIight as a
danger signal. The course. it was added,
was altered so as to allow for the tide.
Captain Watkins said the night was
clear and that the Paris was going al uil
speed The first indication OF danger
was when land was sighted.
The court dismissed the claim.
Judge Granger expressed sympathy
with Captain Watkins in that through
an unfortunate mistake he was debarred
from following his calling for TWO years.
