MRS. MARTHA PLACE THE FIRST
WOMAN TO BE ELECTROCUTED
IN NEW YORK
DIED WITHOUT A STRUGGLE
FACED HER FATE WITHOUT CIV.
ING EVIDENCE OF REALIZA-
TION OR FEAR
NO SCENE WAS ENACTED

Murderess Passed a Restless Night,
but Seemed Resigned to the In
evitabIe-Was Attended by Two
of Her Own Sex, and Seemed
Strengthened by Their Presence
-EIectrocution Most Successful
NEW YORK, March 20.-Mrs. Martha
Place was executed at Sing Sing prison
in the electric chair in the state of New
York, and she went to her death quietly.
Her death was instantaneous, and but
two shocks were given.
State Electrician Davis threw down the
lever at exactly 1:01 a. m. The voltage
Of the current was 1,76o,' and 1t was con-
tinued for four seconds It was then
gradually diminished to 200 volts. which
was continued for flfty-six seconds. DR..
Irvine, the physician of the prison, ex-
amined the woman and then ordered a
first in power and continued for the same
length of time. The second shock has
always been administered at Sing Sing.
Mrs. Place murdered her stepdaughter,
Ida M. Place, a mere girl, on Feb. z, 1898.
She first threw acid in the girls eyes and
then smothered her. This was early in
the morning In their home in Brooklyn.
She waited the entire day for her hus-
band to return, and then attacked him
with an ak, fracturing his skull and
otherwise seriously injuring him. Place,
however, recovered.
Mrs. Place was convicted and sentenced
to death, but she never for a moment
believed she would be electrocuted. She
at first claimed she could remember
nothing-of the murder, and later the
plea of insanity was submitted in her
behalf. 1t was not until Thursday last
that Warden Sage announced to her that
Gov. Roosevelt had absolutely refused to
interfere with the course of justice and
that she must die on Monday. 1t was a
great shock to the woman, but during the
last four days she bore up wonderfully
well. She suffered in two ways after she
learned that she must die, from sleepless-
ness and from loss of appetite.
so there might be no misunderstanding,
and told her she mus. be ready at II
O'Clock Monday morning. She was ready
at that hour, and no one who watched
her could understand what change must
have taken place in the womans nature

PORT ARTHUR CANAL.
Great Waterway Is Finally an Ac-
cOmpIished Fact.


PORT ARTHUR, Tex, March 20.-The
great Port Arthur canal is now an ac-
complished fact. The canal officials were
warned of preparations for another in
junction to be served Monday morning
This would have caused great incon-
venience as the excursions from the
Northwest start Tuesday, and by Satur-
day morning fully 5000 people are expect
ed to be here to participate in the fes-
tivities. In order to checkmate this
scheme, the dredge Florida was moved
down to the meeting point last night and
removed the last foundation on which an
injunction can stand by cutting through
strip of ground forty feet wide. which
had been left to be removed al the big
celebration next Saturday. The waters
from the Gulf now flow through the
canal. The cutting through the strip will
make necessary slight change in the
programme, but aside from this it will
not in any way interfere with the big
celebration.

been such encroachments upon the juris-
diction of the United States, as is alleged
in Gov. Bradys letter.
Secretary Hay concludes by suggesting
that, unless it should distinctly appear
that the provisional understanding of
January and February. 1888, has been
disregarded by the British agents In the
Stickeen valley. this government should
not make complaint or inquiry of the
Canadian government in respect Of the
statements.

AFRAID OF THE FUTURE.
California Republicans Anxious to

Clinch the Senatorship.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 2O.-Owing to
the inability of the California legislature,
which has adjourned, to elect a United
States senator to succeed Stephen M.
White, there is much talk of an extra
session being called by Gov. Gage. The
Republican party leaders fear the failure
to elect a senator will result in the elec-
ton Of Democratic Legislature two
years hence. There is a general feeling
among politicians of both parties that
the governor will issue call before con-
gross meets again.

Now the Dirt Will Fly!
Work on the G. L. & q. N. Rail-
road to Begin at Once.

The N. o. Picayune Of March 9Th
contains the following interesting
news in lite hotel gossip
There strollcd into the st. Charles
Hotel yesterday morning three big
Philadelphians who carried in their
inside pockets the designs and final
plans for another Louisiana railroad,
and alongside the blue print plans
they had some check books which tell
OF the financial support of this scheme.
On the register this little coterie of
eastern f3nancisrs was outlined thus:
Justice Cox, Jr., Philadelphia syndi-
cate furnishing the capital; F. G.
Wheeler, president of the Wheeler &
Body Company of railroad contrac-
tors, Philadelphia, and w. s. Body,
vice president and general manager
OF the same concern. They spent the
day about the hotel and at 7:2O
O'Clock in the evening left for Alexan-
dria, over the Texas and Pacific,
where theyswill be gone until Friday
or Saturday.
The Gulf. Louisiana and Great
Northern Railroad is now an assured
fact, so these men say. The money
has been raised in Philadelphia by
the combining of q number of trusts
and banking establishments into a
syndicate for the express purpose of
building this road. Justice Cox, Jr.,
was appointed the legal representa-
tive OF all these financial interests, he
himself being a heavy investor, and
in company with Messrs. Wheeler and
Body, has come to Louisiana to
start the work.
An advertisement appeared in the
morning papers for 500 hands and
the construction plant will be on the
ground BY the time this party reaches
Alexandria.
Active work will begin at Pineville,
north of Alexandria, at once" ex-
planned Mr.. Body, the general man.
ager of construction. "The line will
run from Fort Smith, Ark, through
Arcadia, Colfax Pineville, Alexandria,
Crowley, Abbeyille and strike the gull
at Southwest pass, Vermillion parish.
Pineville has been selected as the
starting point with q view OF complet-
ing the road to Colfax first, SO as to
open upa big district of fine yellow
pine which the route traverses and
which will be a fine source of revenue
from the day it is opened"
