DIES WITH NERVE
ROSSLYN TERRELL ELECTRO
CUTED AT COLUMBUS.
FOR KILLING HIS FRIEND
Cruel Murder Of Express Messenger
Lane Finally Expiated - Crime
Committed That Terrell Might
Secure Money To Get Married
Nerve Maintained From the Start.

Columbus, March With no dimi-
mutton OF the wonderful nerve that
had been characteristic OF the man
since the time of his apprehension for
the premeditated murder of Charles
Lane, last August, Roslyn Terrell at
12:OG this morning walked calmly to
the electric chair OF the Ohio peniten-
tiary and eXpiated his crime. Until
1870 yesterday evening Terrell was
in the camp OF his three brothers at
the penitentiary. At that time the
brothers were asked to retire and Rev.
Fathers O'Reilly and Kelly entered
and remained with the condemned
man until he was pronounced dead
They administered the sacraments in
the early part or the evening and The
rites had scarcely been concluded in
til Terrell proposed a game of check
ers with one of the clergymen. firing
Of this after time, he played the
guitar and sang until he was sum-
moned to the death chamber. He
walked into the room as calm as if he
asked if he had any last messages and
replied in voice full of strength and
without a tremor, Il have nothing to
say" officials made the last prepar-
atoms and the fatal current was
turned on. At 1909 he was declared
dead.
Roslyn Terrell, who last night paid
the penalty for his crime in the cleo
trio chair of the Ohio penitentiary,
shot and killed express messenger
Charles Lane on the night of August
10, last. He had been in the employ
of the Adams Express company and
had lost his position. He had repre-
scented to Miss Lillian Costlow. to
whom he was to have been married on
the coming Thursday, that he had q
considerable sum of money in the
bank and that he still retained his
situation with the company. He
boarded the express car of the east
bound Pennsylvania train on the
night mentioned. being permitted to
ride by his old friend Lane. Terrell
secured $4,000 from the safe and when
the train stopped at Plain City, he
leaped off. Terrell stayed all night at
Plain City and the next day went to
Miss Costlow. He was arrested at
her house the following Sunday. He
admitted the crime.

Steve Brodie, oldest and most

Brodie was regarded as a typical

DESTINATION OF THE SUN.
Point Toward Which 1t and the Plan.
cts are Moving.

More than a century ago Sir viii
liam HerscheI was able to fix roughly
what we call the apex of the suns
way in space, or the point among the
stars toward which that way is di.
rected. Herschel found that a COM
parison OF old stellar observations
seemed to indicate that the stars in
certain part of the sky were opening
out, as it were, and that the constel-
lations in the opposite part of the
heavens seemed to be drawing in, or
becoming smaller There can be but
one reasonable explanation of this
We must be moving toward that part
of the sky where the stars are separat.
ing. Just so man watching a reg
iment of soldiers approaching will see
1T first only a confused body of men.
But as they come nearer the individual
soldiers will seem to separate, until
at length each one is seen distinct
from all the others.
Herschel fixed the position of the
apex at point in the constellation
Hercules. The most recent investi
cations of Newcomb, published only a
few months ago, have, on the whole,
verified Herschels conclusions. Later
investigators have increased the pre-
cision of our knowledge. until we can
now say that the present direction of
the solar motion is known within very
narrow limits. A tiny circle might be
drawn on the sky, to which an astron-
omer might point his hand and say:
Yonder little circle contains the goal
toward which the sun and planets are
fastening today. Even the speed OF
this motion has been subjected to
measurement and found to be about
ten miles per second.
The objective point and the rate Of
motion thus stated exact science holds
her peace. Here genuine knowledge
stops, and we can proceed farther only
by the aid of that imagination which
men Of science need to curb at every
moment.
But let no one think that the sun
will ever reach the so-called apex. To
do so would mean CosmIc motion on
straight line while every considera
ton of celestial mechanics points 70
motion on a curve. When shall we
turn sufficiently upon that curve to de-
tect its bending? 1t is problem that
we must leave as rich heritage TO
generations that are to follow us. The
visionary theC lists notion of a great
central sun, controlling our own suns
way in space, must be dismissed as
far too daring. But for such a central
sun we may substitute a central center
of gravity, belonging to great system
of which our sun is but an insignif.
cant member. Then We reach a con.
ception that has lost nothing in the
grandeur of its simplicity and Is yet in
accord with the probabilities OF sober
mechanical science. We cease to be
a lonely world and stretch out the
bonds of a common relationship TO
yonder stars within the armament

Madison, March 1.-The senate
passed the following bills: Giving the
Dane county municipal court the right
to try murder cases; permitting
mutual insurance companies to insure
against both fire and lighting within
a radius of 100 miles of the city where
the company is located. the amount in

abling cities of the fourth class to

1t requires ratification by two-thirds
of the voters, the amount spent in
any one year not to exceed 3 per cent,

mittee on education reported favor
ably the bill appropriating $40, 900 for q

easy sailing in the senate Perhaps
the most important episode in the
assembly was the submission by the
committee on privileges and elections
of a favorable report on Mr. Halls
bill for an amendment to the constitu-
ton permitting the use of voting
machines. A senate bill has passed
enabling licentiates to solemnize mar
riages.
Madison, Feb. 2S.-In the senate the
good roads resolution calling for
constitutional amendment was laid
over until March on motion of Sen
atOr Stout. A senate bill was passed
reducing the limit Of population for
cities of the second class from 10000
to 10000. A vote that may be very
highly significant was cast in the as
sembly when the bill to give Dairy and
Food Commissioner Adams two as
sistants was killed. Politics did it,"
declared a friend of the meaure init
mating that, as Adams was very close
to the administration, the anti-primary
election element had lined up against
him. Speeches for the bill were made
by Messrs. Frost, Gilman, Thomas and
Root and against it by Messrs. Cady,
Spratt, Silkworth and Dodge. The
vote to kill was 50 to AZ. But whether
politics did it or not, a number of
La Toilette men voted against the
measure. The Hall joint resolution
for constitutional amendment per-
hitting the use of voting machines
was ordered to a third reading. 1t
will take four years to get the con-
stitution amended. The committee on
federal relations made report in

of railroad tickets and passes, while
among the measures killed were
these: Orton's permitting officers or
guards of the state prison or the state
to kill if necessary to pre-
vent escapes or the commission Of
crimes by inmates Of those institu-
tions, and Henry's to prohibit the

Roehr, providing for a constitutional
amendment permitting the legislature
to pass a general banking law, passed

In the assembly a bill was passed
which provides that when prisoners
escape, when re-Captured, the time
they are away from prison shall not
be counted as part Of their term of
sentence. The bill raising the penalty
for stated felonies from five to twenty
years in prison was also passed. The

dairy and food inspectors at $1,000 a
year each was opposed by Mr.. Dodge
as a needless extravaganza. Final ac-
ton on it was deferred. The Stevens

hawk drugs around was killed.
