TELEGRAPH WIRE
0hstructs Navigation on the Muskingum
Wednesday Morning.

The Lorena had considerable diff
Guilty in passing from the yMuskingum
to the Ohio Wednesday morning. The
unusual stage of the river brought the
tunnels of the boat in contact with the
telephone and telegraph wires which
are strung across the bridge. The
wires are not at the height required by
law and even during the present vol
ume of water in the stream are an i'm
pediment to navigation. The Captain
of the Lorena had the right to cut all
the wires but did not exercise this priv
ilege, stationing a man instead at the
bow of the boat to carefully lift each
cable over the smoke stacks. Seven
teen wires and cables were in this man
ner left uninjured owing to the cour-
tesy of the Captain of the Lorena. This
is the second time that the packet has
had to overcome this impediment to
navigation and remove the wires from
its path.
The officers state that they will not
hesitate to sever the lines the next
time the conditions are such as pre-
vailed Wednesday morning.
The trip over the dam was made with
perfect safety and the boat, after pass
ing under the railroad bridge, proceed
ed on her way up the Ohio.

Is Lingering Crime According to Rev. Or.
ReSfurd.
Special to the Leader.

Special to the Leader.
Columbus, o.. March 13.--"The Death
Penalty Lingering Crime" was the
subject of a sermon Of DR.. E. l.. Rex,
ford in First Universalist Church. He
quoted Christ's words, Love your en-
emies; do good to them that hate YOU
and said this instruction of Christ
leads no warrant to the barbarous Gus
tom of killing men by so-called legal
process. DR.. Rexford denied that hang
ing man tended to reduce crime.
He said: What argument is left ex-
eept that of gratifying revenge? And
this is the worst of all. 1t was sorry
report during the trial of Ferrell, that
the widow of the victim Of his crime
was present to be avenged for her
husbands death. II was another sor-
ry report in the glaring headlines of
the papers that the law was to be. and
had tbeen avenged" The moral sensi
,bilities of any community shriveI I'M
der that influence. Vengeance had
been 'igratified" after the negroes here
and there had been burned at the stake
Continuing DR.. Rexford said:
III had been governor on the last
day OF Rosslyn Ferrell's life, would
sooner have liberated him than would
have electrocuted him, He was not
habitpally criminal would feel that
my money was safer in his free pres
ence than in the presence of some other
men whom know, They would not kill
me to get my purse, but they would de-
wise schemes for extracting money
from the peoples pockets, which though |
not quite as expeditions as his, yet none
the less certain. Ferrell never spent Il
hundredth part of the time in planning !
money getting schemes that scores of
other men have spent, who walk the J
streets daily in perfect freedom"
In conclusion DR.. Rexford expressed
the hope that the great State of Ohio
would abolish capital punishment.

1t has been supposed for years that
when Joseph Jefferson retired from the

season on account of Illness, that thera
was no one to succeed him and that per
force the old play must be put away.
But the success of his son, Thomas. last

man is indispensable. no man whose
place cannot be filled. Thomas JEFF
ferson as rip" proved to be capable
painstaking ector and one that would
soon follow in his illustrious fathers
footsteps. He gives to the part of RIP
the same delicate touch that has made
1t so famous by his father His accent,
gestures, intonation and stare business
are all the exact copy of the original

ample to follow. Thomas Jefferson
