TAYLOR MAY NOT TESTIFY.
Murderer Says He Does Not Wish IL
Hang His Uncle.

Frederick, Md, July s.-Armstead Tay-
lor, the young negro who was found guilty
in the circuit court of numbering Dora
Rosenstein at her home in Sidell Mont
gomery county, and Immediately sentenced
to be hanged, has accepted his fate with
entire Indifference. One of the officials
said that when Taylor returned to the Jail
he remarked: 1T is no more than | had
expected, but don't want to hang my I'M
Gle, John Alfred Brown" This statement
strongly indicates that he will not go en-
the witness stand to testify against him,
as was eXpeeted.li Taylor and Brown, an
official said,3 have become very communi-
cative and appear to be growing more
friendly They are confined in separate
cells.
Soon after their return to Jail the death
watch was placed over Taylor and will be
continued until he is executed Charles
Dix and Lewis A. Zimmerman are guarding
the condemned man. Taylor will be kept
here until after Browns trial and possi-
bly, he will not be taken to Rockville until
just before the time fixed for the execu-
ton.

Rubber Tires for Electric cars.

Bridgeton, y. j., July S.-A few days ago
report from Cape May represented ober-
lin Smith as recommending the use CT rub
ber tires on locomotive engines, and as ad-
vancing the doctrine that by such means it
would be possible to attain a speed of
nearly or quite 200 miles an hour. Careful
enquiry shows that Mr.. Smith, who has
given much attention to railroad matters
and is an authority in civil engineering.
had no intention Of advocating rubber tires
for use on steam roads. In fact, it was on
ly for electric cars that he suggested such
a novelty. Even this application was not
made an essential to high speed, but mere
ly an incidental feature of the electric road
Of the future. Like several other experts.
MI Smith has recognized the fact that in
order TO combine high speed with safety
whether steam or electric power be EN-
ployed), ii is necessary to have a track
which is free from certain defects now
characteristic OF even the best roads Sharp
curves, switches and other Irregularities
must be eliminated An automatic block
signal service would be requisite, and some
changes in the form of the cars may prove
expedient. 1t is possible, if not probable,
that the road of the future On which cars
are able to travel safely at the rate OF 151
or 200 miles an hour will be an elevated
road. Mr.. Westinghouse long ago suggest
ed such a plan. But elevation is not es-
sential. 1t is enough if grade crossings
are avoided. With this prccaution obsery-
ed carefully, the train can run at any lev
el that is found to be convenient

Statements Concerning the Defeat of
Hardin in Louisville.

Louisville, July S.-A sensational fea-
ture of the Democratic State Convention
developed in this city today. 1t has been
given out that the direct cause Of the de-

Madison county. and Congressman Charles
Wheeler TO carry out a promise made to 6
free silver leader. Wheeler controlled
forty-six votes and Chenauit eighteen
They had both, it is said, given General
Hardin to understand that when the final
test of strength came they would give
him their support and he relied implicitly
in them. Had he not done so, the story
goes, he would have consented to a bolt
when his friends advised it. But ne felt
that he had the nomination already in his
grasp and permitted the GOebel move
Inent 10 go on. Both Chenault and Wheel
er Topped TO Goebel on the last ballot and
won him the nomination.

State Superintendent Nelson sends
out this opinion in regard to school
lands: school land belonging to the
state on March 3, 1895, Is not subject to
settlement and must be sold by the
county treasurer to the highest bidder"
In explanation Of this he says: "Such
lands, which we're UnOccupIed on the
9Th day of March, 1895, were Withdrawn
from sale and settlement on that date.
I think If such land had been settled
upon and sold prior to March 3, 1895,
and the payments of principal and in
terest kept up beyond that date, that
such tracts would be considered OccU-
pied. Hence, they would not come
under the provisions of this act and
would be open to settlement under the
Settlers Rights Act

The record Of passenger traffic at
Havana in February shows that $50
persons arrived from Spain and only
264 left Havana for Spain. The figures
are surprising, for il was natural to
suppose that many Spauiards in Cuba
would return TO their native country
rather than live in the island under
the flag Of the United States. It ap-
pears, however, that the number of
Spaniards who are desIrOus of doing
business in reconstructed Cuba is
greater than the number who want to
get away from the island. It is q rather
curious circumstance that the net ar
rivals from Spain exceeded those from
the United States. The figures are:
Arrived from Spain, $50; sailed Tor
Spain, 264; net increase in Spsniards
at Havana, $50. Arrived from the
United States, 1.Sl3; sailed for the
United States, 1872; net increase in
Americans at Havana, SOL; arrived from
all other countries, $40; sailed for other
cOun tries, e.
