Columbus, 0.-The electrocution OF
Henry White, convicted of the muir
der of Marshal Basere at Franklin,
which occurred In the state prison
here, was a horrible tiasco.
Twice the electric current failed to
kill, while the condemned man writhed
In agony. His swelling muscles almost
burst through the straps that held
him. When the third shock went
through his body a sheet of flame en-.
veloped him and flames issued from
every joint In his body. The current
was continued several seconds in spite
OF the flames, while the odor OF scorch-
ing flesh filled the death chamber.
When 1t was turned off the physicians
pronounced the man dead. He had
literally been roasted to death.

Johnson.

Philadelphia. Pa.-Jack johnson
stopped Bob" Fftzsimmons in the
second round of a six-round boxing
bout before the Washington Sporting
club. Fitzsimmons did not show a
trace of his former prowess and it is
probable that Johnson could have
stopped him in the opening round If
he had cared to do so. The blow that
put Fitz out was a light right to the
jaw. The old man fell to the floor and
as he made no attempt to rise the
referee stopped the bout. The kissing
which usually follows knockouts of
this character was absent 1.-The specta-
tors evidently taking compassion on
the former pugilistic star.

THREAD is 70 COST TEN CENTS.
Price Of Cotton Soon to Be Boosted
Again by the Combine.

New York, N. Y.-Cotton thread.
until a short time ago the most stable
in price of all the staples, selling the
country over for 8 cents a spool, is to
be advanced again. SO that the retail
price will be 10 cents. On May 20
there was an advance which brought
the market price to 6 and Z cents.
Cotton thread for domestic use is
manufactured almost exclusively by
the combine. Increased cost Of raw
material and an advance in wages is
the reason given for the contemplated
increase in price. Independent manu-
facturers declare that neither Of the
reasons is good, for when cotton was
selling much higher than 1t ID now
thread retailed for 5 cents.
