HORRIBLE CHINESE TORTURES.
Tear the Limbs and Grind the Victims to
Death.

even the Chinese themselves prefer death
TO imprisonment
The prisoners are crammed like wild
beasts into a cage generally swarmlns
with vermin. Insufficient and vile food Is
supplied, and horrible torture unknown to
the laws are inflicted.
For more serious offenses the "su-
/ nerior' class OF punishment Is inflicted.
This consists OF beheading, strangulation
or Punishment
The victim condemned to be beheaded IL
carried to the execution ground in kind
Of cage OF box made OF Stats OF bamboo.
The crime for which he is to die il writ
ten Oh a slip OF paper which is fastened
to small piece OF bamboo ana 10 then
stuck In bis hair. In his cage is generally
carried the pail for holding his head This,
when the extreme penalty has been paid,
the posi-. about Is high from the ground
as the victims neck. is hole through
which two ends Of cord thai has been
passed round bis neck are put.
BY pulling the two ends of tpe cord
the victim would soon be dead In China.
however. it Is usually the custom when
the victim ID nearly dead TO relax the
cord and allow tho victim to breathe,
only to so through the pain OF strangu-
lation once more
All kinds OF tortures are resorted to
Tor confession. They include dlsmember-
Ing, logging in all its varieties, aud
kneeliug on hot chains These modes OF
torture. entirely unauthorized and un-
recognized by tho law, sre frequently
resorted to by the magistrates and jail
ers.
An instrument of torture known as tho
u- i~ l. t,1
which. being tied to frame by short
string, continually hops about or dies
away to the length of the string and
then returns.
The instrument consists Of an upright
post aud two crosspieces firmly fastened
to it, The culprit kneels on the lower OF
the crossplec with his back to the
post His arms are then outstretched
and fastened to the other orosspiece,
which is placed several feet above the
lower ono.
Across the calves OF his leg Is laid a
stick several feet long. To the two ends
OF this stick are attached cords that
pass through holes made in the ends Of
the crosspiece on which the victim
hneels BY tightening these cords the
pressure on tina legs becomes unbear-
able.
One Of the most gruosome forms Of tor
lures is the hot water snake. Around the
body and arms Of the unfortunate victim
are coiled snakes made OF brass tubing
These ~ the victim tightly. When the
appointed moment arrives boiling water
IS poured down the mouths of tho snakes
The torture endured by the victim is ex-
cruciaing.
The wire shirt punishment consists Of a
piece of iron netting which is bound no
tightly around the body as to cause the
victims flesh to protrude drought tho
mosh. The sufferer Is then shaved with
sharp knife and It Is on record that vic
tins have subsequently had salt rubbed
into their wounds. The above penalty IA
only imposed for crimes such as parricide
and similar oNtrema villianiea

The Court of Errors and Appeals has
decided that private express messen-

they desire on any road in this State.
1t will be remembered that about two
years ago several messengers doing
business between New York and sub
urban towns were warned by the cor
porations that they should give up
such business, as il was violation of
the railroad rules. Some messengers
refused and were elected from the
trains. One of these was Elmer Run
yam, of Elizabeth, and he brought suit
against the New Jersey Central. He
won out in each case, but appeals were
made, and ON Monday the Court of
Errors and Appeals decided that 81 900
was not excessive damages for the
railroad to pay.
