These meetings attract all who are in
terested iii municipal affairs, and there
are usually in attendance some of the
foremost municipal officials of the coun-
try. The programme committee would be
pleased to have a talk or paper from you
at this time, bearing upon the municipal
police department. Under the system in
vogue in most municipalities, the mayor
is the head of the police. and there are
no duties he has to meet that are so en-
barrassng as those connected with this
department. / am satisfied that you could
give us an instructive paper and that 1t
would be of great interest to those in
attendance, as well as to the municipail-
ties generally all over the country.
Each year we publish in book form the
talks and papers presented at the conven-
ton and they have a wide circulation.
1t is understood that the major will be
authorized to attend the convention.

TELEPHONE STOCKS
THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Covering by September shorts Re
suits in Il Rise in Wheat

CHICAGO, June 12.-Shorts in Septem-
Der wheat were disposed to cover today,
with the result that the market was
steady and closed sd higher than yester-
day. The feature of the trade was the
liberal selling of July and buying of Sep
tember by the interest instrumental in
bringing about the late fury in July. The
weather conditions continue perfect, and
naturally tend to decrease the outside
speculative interest, which leaves the
market in the control OF the local bear ele-
ment. The primary movement was less
than 4 year ago. CIearances were light;
cash sales here 5000 bushels. The sea-
board reports eight loads.
Corn was weak under continued July
liquidation and lack of demand for that
month. There was considerable changing
to September, which widened the prem
ium. On the decline in the latter month
there was fair commission house buying
Cash sales were 10000 bushels Twelve
loads at the seabOard. Receipts, PA cars
with 220 estimated for tomorrow. The i'm
proved weather conditions are depresS-
ing factor.
Oats were weak. There was some cov-
ering early by shorts, which tended to
steady prices for time, bat commission
house and local longs selling OF September
"A 3 receiving house selling of July turned
the market weak. The cash demand was
very poor. Local stocks are large, the
contract being $3.50 900.
A further advance in the hog market on
lighter arrivals than expected caused
higher range In provisions with the lead
ing buyer of lard and ribs credited to
large local packer In addition to this
there was a fair investment demand for
September delivery. Free selling of lard
for Milwaukee causd a setback in that ar
ticle, which closed steady at Il small de-
cline, while pork and ribs were :irm at

meats was good. The outlook on pro-

SEEKING FOR RELATIVES.
Captain Boardmnn Wishes to Inform

Captain Roardman is endeavoring to
communicate with the friends of William
Thompson, the fifty-year-old colored man,
who died in the Pennsylvania Depot yes
terday morning, while waiting for an am
buIance in which TO be carried to a hos
pital. and whose body was afterward re-
moved to the morgue. He had a certi-
ficate with him from physician at Clear
field. Pa, stating that he had been badly
scaIded. and that he was in need of hos
pital treatment. Thompson arrived in the
city at $50 o'clock yesterday morning on
the express from Buffalo. which he board
ed at Ciearfield. His injuries were about
the hands and chest, and as he was un-
able TO sit up on the train, a pallet was
made for him on the floor of the baggage
car. He had a ticket to Washington, and
from his remarks. the conductor con-
cluded that he had friends here.

The strength of the Lead issues was
supposed to indicate a belief in the story

The New York traction securities all
showed strength yesterday, but careful peo-
pie do not grow enthusiastic over them. The
smaller speculative fraternity continue to
buy these securities on the theory that
as they have not yet had an advance they
are likely to be taken up at any time.
Such a thing, of course. is always posi-
BILE but ii might also be argued with quite
as much weight that If the group could
not be elevated when the market was on
a boom it will be even harder to boom
them now when the public has given up
the game and the important people are

CARBONDAIE, H.. Oct. 2S.-This has
been one of the most exciting nights in
the history OF this city. This morning
Oracle Short the thirteen-year-Old daugh-
ter Of George w. Short. a tracHman en-
ployed on tho Illinois Central Railroad,
came to this city on a shopping tour. On
returning she sought a ride with a stranger.
and in the wagon was Thomas Moberly, a
colored man aged thirty-five years. Near
her home, which is less than two miles
from the city, she alighted and was soon
followed by the negro. who overlook her
and brutaliy attacked her. Though the
girl escaped she received two ugly wounds.
The negro came to Carbondale and was
attempting to leave the city on a freight
train when caught He was arraigned be-
fore Justice Clayton and was readily identi-
fed by the child. The crowd in the room
became furious and several persons at
tackled the negro, inhicting severe wounds.
The crowd was forced from the room by the
officers present. but men gathered i'm the
street in great numbers and there was
much talk of lynching the negro. Several
deputy sheriffs arrived at $50 D. m and i'm
a few minutes had spirited Moberly away.
The negro is still in town. however. and
the people are greatly excited. At a late
hour it was reported that Il large number
of men were coming from CarterXille in
tent upon lynching the negro.

His voice trembled slightly at first. but
spoke perfect English. Il am not sorry for
my crime" ne said loudly just as the guard
pushed his head back on the rubber head
rest and drew the straps across his fore
head and chin. As the pressure on the
straps frightened and bound the jaws tight
~ he mumbled:
Il am awfuny sorry could not see my
father"
1t was just exactly III o'clock when he
crossed the threshold. but a minute had
elapsed, and he had just finished the last
statement when the strapping was COM
pleted and the guards stepped back.
Warden Mead raised his hand. and at
1920. Electrician Davis turned the switch
that threw leo bolts of electricity into the
living body.
The rush of the current threw the body
so hard against the straps that they
creaked perceptibly. The hands clinched
suddenly and the whole attitude was one
of extreme tenseness. For forty-five sec
onds the full current was kept on, and then
slowly the electrician threw the switch
back reducing the current volt by volt
until it was cut off entirely. Then just
il had reached that point he threw the lever
| back again for two or three seconds The
body. which had collapsed as the
current was reduced, stifened up
again against the straps. When
it was turned off again DIR.
Mcdonald stepped to the chair and put his
hand over the heart. He said he felt no
pulsation, but suggested that the current
be turned on for few seconds again. Once
more the body became rigid. At 7:15 the
current was turned off for good.
From the time Czolgocz had left his cell
until the full penalty was paid less than

| scope and other tests 10 determine if any
life remained, and at 717 the warden rails

was executed was not the same in which
the first electrocution took place here. II

elaborate in comparison with the very old
prison structures about it. 1t is built Of

down the prison yard on the left hand.
or south. side. Entrance to il is possible
either from the prison yard or from the
main south corridor, and the execution
room proper may be entered without pass
ing the condemned cells.
From the time of his entry into the death
house Czolgocz was confined in the cell
nearest 10 the death chamber so that when
he entered the execution room this morn
ing he had only TO step few feet through
the stone arch. and as the great iron door
swung behind him he WAS beside the cleo
tric chair. The execution room has seats
for the witnesses and is lighted with sew
ersl windows placed high in the walls. In
one corner of the wall is the closet i'm
which the keyboard is situated and IN
which Electrician Davis stood when he
switched the current on.
The preliminaries were exactly like those
OF every other execution. The witnesses
gathered in the office OF the warden or the
second floor OF the prison at a quarter of
were told to quickly follow the warden and
State superintendent of prisons, and after
walking through the long corridor took
their places silently beside the death chair
in the execution room. The iron door lead
ing to the condemned cells was closed but
behind IL the warden's assistants were pre-
pairing Czogocz for death The warden
waited until the witnesses were seated. and
then made the usual formal declaration
that those present in the room were merely
there witnesses To a legal execution of a
murderer, and that under no circumstances
and no matter what the provOcation, no
one was TO leave his seat or make any dis
turbance.
Electrician Davis then put upon the arms
OF the chair a bank of twenty-five incan-
descent electric lights. and attaching TO
them electrical wires passed the current
through them so that the lights glowed out
brightly. An assistant in the meantime put
the two electrodes, which were lined with
sponges into pals OF water so as TO get
them wet enough to prevent the current
from burning the victims flesh.
