ELBCTRooUTBD THIS MORNING
Five Shocks Were Necessary Before
 Death Resulted.

Ossining, N. Y., May 25.--Antonio Triola was put to death in the electric chair in Sing Sing prison to-day. Five shocks were necessary to cause death. State Electrician Davis said it was harder to kill a thin, wiry man like Triola was by the electric current than a stout man, as in the case of the thin man there are not enough tissues to convey the fatal current quickly to a vital part. MT Davis also said that Triola had thick, greasy hair, which resisted the current. Triola received the first shock at 6:O2 q. m. After four more shocks had been given at brief intervals he was pronounced dead.
 Antonio Triola shot and Killed Ma mic CerelE, a young Italian girl who was a theatrical performer in small Italian theater on the east side, New York. The girl had refused to marry Triola. On the night of March 5 1901, he lay in wait for her and fired three shots at her as she and her moth CT were on, their way home from a the ater The girl died. Trioia fled, but was captured. He was convicted an April 29, 1901.

NEGRO QUESTION ONCE MORE.
Dr Hills Discussed Question in Plymouth Church Yesterday

He Says Colored People Have Had a
 Month of Heartaches Such as They
 Have Not Known in Forty Years
 He Also Says the Colored People are
 Needlessly Alarmed.
 New York, May 25. 5.-Referring to the recent tendency of the discussion on the negro question, the Rev Dr Newell Dwight Hills in Plymouth church, Brooklyn, said yesterday:
 Just now the whole country is suf- fering from a reaction on the negro question. And the colored race have known a month of such depression and sorrow and heartache as they have not known in forty years. And there is reason for the depression. Consider the Presbyterian preacher in New York who last week said that the emancipation of the slaves was like the release of criminals from the peni- tentiary, and said that the future of the 'nigger' was blacker and blacker and more hopeless. Consider that editorial in the Richmond paper that, comment ing on the speech of southerner and of the great religious editor in New York, said the two men might have evidently exchanged addresses. Think of the southern solicitor who insists in his article that the negro is an animal, that, like the dog and horse, he has by association borrowed some of mans characteristics, but that he is without soul, and that he fears like the animal and never can have a home. In 1866, MT Beecher said here that we must in dst on the suffrage for the negro; that races, like children, are trained by re- sponsibility; that the poorest govern ment of an ignorant man who governs himsef is better than the best gov ernment that is imposed upon him from without Mir Beecher also said that in view of two centuries of injus- tice and slavery 1t might take cen tury before we would see the outcrop- ping of an occasional orator, an occa' sional colored educator. What if MT Beecher could return today? He would find that the greatest orator, from many points of view, in the coun- try is a black man. And a black man to-day receives from $150 to $500 a night, and there is only one other man in the country who receives as much.
 'HThe colored people are need1essly alarmed. The reaction is an eddy from the south itself. All the enemies of liberty. whether they want to or not have to help the forces of liberty.

THE COTTON MARKET

New York, May 25-The cotton mar ket this morning showed but a meas nre of it's recent excitement. Prices in Liverpool were about in line with To- cal expectations. At the local opening trading was of about the ordinary vol ufne. First prices were 8 points low CT to five points higher and immediate ly following the call sentiment seemed rather bearish. Their f1rmness at New Orleans, however, started short cover ing, and the market became more act i've. The near months regafned all the opening losses and the general list showed a net advance of from 9 to IS points.

Locomotive Exploded; one Deaex.

ERIE, Pa, May 25.-While passing Mays Siding on the hill about seven miles west of Kane the boiler on one of the locomotives pushing Philadelphia and Erie freight train exploded, killing one man and injurdng four others, three perhaps fatally. The disaster was an unusual one, insomuch as the train was running at the time and also because the crown sheet of the exploded boiler was blown clear through the caboose, splitting it in two and completely wrecking it, so that it was set on fire and burned up as the quickest way to clear the tracks. The injured, except the engineer and fireman, were in the cai1Oose

MEXICAN MINING CONDITIONS.

Cheap labor, no union organizations, low taxation, absence of legal com plications, a complaisant government, excellent climate, low cost of living, etc, form such an ideal combination of conditions that the steady and in creasing investment of capital in Mex ico is not to be wondered at, espec- ialy when we turn to conditions now existing in Colorado, California and Montana. Yet it is 60 be feared that many disappointments will be exper, fenced. Conditions are changing so rapidly in the southern republic that it is by no means certain the condi- tions in, say, two years time will be anything like what they are now.
 Until recently business enterprises were well scattered, and interests did not clash to any serious extent. Now interests are beginning to overlap, and it requires but a very slight gift of prophecy to foretell fierce litigation, with heavy legal and government fees, in the near future. Labor, too. is getting scarcer and higher priced. Taxation, so far as it affects mining, is steadily increasing. The cost of living is going up. With powerful and conflicting interests the government must stand clear of complications, and, undoubtedly, the chief executive will leave more and more business to the courts, instead of exercising his pres ent policy of benevolent despotism.
 It must take at le2St two or three years before the enterprises now be ing started will be well under way Will the conditions then be as they are now? We believe not. So diff, ferent in our judgment, will be the state of affairs that enterprises which require conditions such as those which now exist for their success will fail The men who will via out are those who know the people. the language, customs and the miner side of the governmental organization. This knowledge can only be obtained by long residence and study of condi- tions. Men who attempt to do busi- ness with large capital and without such experience are inviting failure That has been the experience in the past. Yet it is only fair to state that after dearly buying the knowledge re ferred to, and after an initial failure many men have taken that experience and with little residlci capital have made great successe5.-Mining Re porter

TWO CHANGES,

B. F. Copple yesterday brought to our office some very fine samples of copper ore from two claims he has in the Dixie mining district. The claims are known as the Only Chance" and the Last Chance" On the former MT. Copple has an incline shaft down 30 feet, in ledge the width of which has not been determined. In the bot tom of the shaft is an ore streak about 15 inches wide from which some good assays have been obtained. A short distance below the surface the ore gave IA per cent copper, s2.98 in gold and S1.6G in silver
 The Last Chance has only an assess ment hole, but shows a streak of ore rich in copper. No ssays have yet ben made. Pieces of -ock. melted in the forge, give buttons Of copper that can readily be worked by an ordinary hammer.

THE CALUMET G BiSBEE.
A Few Happy Calculations.

In the language of the old Jew in The Black Flag" we don't tell de truth all the time; we don't vas tael it half the time; we do vel to tell it part of the time, but we are telling it all dis time"
 The recent strike in the Lake Su- perior & Pittsburgh is an ever increas- ing wonder It has been stripped in the direction of the original drift, and it has been crosscut by lateral drifts for nearly 100 feet on each side, and it increases as developments proceed.
 The Hoatsons have vindicated their claims to the championship as the best judges of mining on the Michigan plan in the camp. Tn this instance they have made big hit. As a con sequence of the recent strike the company are rushing coal and other supplies to the South Bisbee, or Lake Superior and Pittsburg No 8, the plan being to sink to the level correspond ing to the 1000 on the NO ?. then drift to connect with the drift and the new discovery on the No. ,. The ore body which has just been discovered runs south to southwest. and is within 1,700 feet of the Calumet & Bisbee line. Now the same character of ore is to be seen in Bellesisle ana Baxter stopes on the 200 in the Copper Queen, and though they have produced their mil lions are still unexhaCsted. In the South Bisbee No. the same charac- ter of ore is to be found on the 900, end at the end of tLe drift which struck the discovery It dips tc 1000, and at the White Tail Deer over the hill it ccmes close 10 the surface agaIn.
 Nov The South Bisbee No. has struck it properly on the 1,000. It runs :n ;he direction of the Calumet S Bisoeo. The South Bisbee just scratched it's back at 1000. The Cal umet & Bisbee, torographically, is ;.5out 14G feet lower
 e Calumet & 3isbee is now S.. feet deep, with every indication at tending the operations of the South Bisbee. At depth O. 1000 feet the Calumet & Bisbee would be on a level atout corresponding with the 1,140 cn the South Bisbee Then to the drift, they would not scracth the back of the great ore body but - would hit it scuarely around the waist Now since the immense ore body is tipping to- ward the Calumet & Bisbee. and the indications at a corresponding depth are strikingly identical, and the prox- unity is intimate.
