THEY FORGOT TO HANG THIS MAN.
Sentence Should Have Been Carried Out
Twenty-three Years Ago.

Chicago. July 22.-A writ OF habeas corpus. in
behalf Of John Gales. a prisoner in the State
penitentiary at Joliet. is under consideration by
Judge George Kersten, and in passing its
merits the court viii be compelled TO decide as
TO whether the prisoner in legal sense is dead
alive.
Gales killed neighbor, John W. HesseIl. in
a quarrel on November 2S 1881. Gales was
sentenced to hang on March "a 1882. He was
taken to the penitentiary a death warrant,
but when the day set for the execution arrived
everybody seemed TO forget Gales, and he was
not executed. He has remained ever since in
the penitentiary, and for twenty-three years
has been a model prisoner. For all these years
Gales has been afraid TO say a word for fear
the Sheriff would remember him and carry the
sentence into effect.
His sister. who lives in Chicago. has. however.
started a movement in his behalf, which result
ed in the application for the writ OF habeas
corpus. 1t is the opinion in the Office of the
states attorney that Gales will eventually be
given his freedom for the reason that he should
have been hanged in that term OF court in which
the sentence was imposed, and this not having
been done, Jurisdiction over him ceased.

SUNDAY EXCURSIONS POPULAR.

One of the results of the recent severe hot
weather has been to develop an exceptionally
large patronage for the many Sunday excur-
sions run from New York to nearby places OF
interest by the railroads The Central Railroad
of New-Jersey reports an increase over all for
noer racords IN the number OF tickets sold for
their Lake Hopatcong Mauch Chunk and At
lantic City excursions.
The appeal of the mountains, country and
saashore is very great TO those whose daily
avocations do not permit leisure for such trips
other than on Sundays. Each year produces a
greater number OF such pleasure seekers and
the Central Railroad of New-Jersey and other
roads are meeting the demands by constantly
increasing facilities for handling their patrons
with celebrity and safety.

NAPHTHA NOW HARMLESS
Neao DeUice PreUents EGplosiOn of
Tanks.

A successful test was made at City Island yester
day afternoon Of contrivance designed to render
naphtha. gasolene and other similar liquids in
tanks non-explosive. The inventor is Louis
Kessler. who in charge OF the test.
Although at this of the year City Island
is tenanted by several thousands OF persons. not
more than twenty people, including the inventor
and his assistants. newspaper men and photograph
ers and directors of the concern, were present at
the test The rest OF the population discreety
stayed away.
But under the contrtvance made by Kessler, the
naphtha proved as harmless as water.
Kessler's invention consists OF tube, designed
to be placed in a naphtha tank. through the hole
in the tank which admits the naphtha. The tube
Is OF zinc, perforated it's entire length on every
part Of It's surface. Inside the larger tube is
smaller tube. made OF the same material and
treated in the same manner. Wire gauze sep
arates the two tubes. The tube is screwed down
at the top. Between the cap. which secures the
tube to the tank. is gravity safety valve. 1t
is this little valve which does great deal OF the
work in rendering tank of naphtha fitted with
the Kessler tube non-explosive.
In an ordinary tank. when the pressure of the
gas is great that something must give way,
there is explosion. With the tube inserted in
the tank the power OF the gas is overcome; soon
the gas begins to rise, overcoming the pressure
the outside of the tank the safety valve rises.
permitting the gas to pour out There is ignition.
but no explosion. The tube, with its perforations
of course. concentrates the fame. preventing its
coming in contact with the naphtha.
The test yesterday made in tanks-one
OF sixty-two gallons and the other of twenty gal
Ions capacity. Into the large tank after the tube
had been set in. poured twenty gallons OF
80 proof naphtha- The smaller tank was also fitted
with the tube and filled with naphtha. When all
was ready wood was piled around the tanks and
saturated with OIL as were the tanks On top of
the larger tank set a smaller tank to form the
outside pressure.
The crowd drew back from the tanks the pho
tographers trained their cameras. and Samuel
Frankenstyn. one of KessIer's assistants threw a
lighted match against the tank. The oil on the
outside OF the tank and among the wood began to
burn Pretty soon the gas in the tank made Us
way through the tube and IL was then that the
safety valve did its work Ii rose, and the gas
poured out and big fame shot up, but there was
no explosion The small tank on the top OF the
tank with the naphtha in ii blown a few feet
in the air. The safety valve continued to bob up
and down, and the flames kept on until the gas In
the tube had been exhausted
