BIC CORPORATIONS
One of Six That Have Capital of
at Least S1OO, 900, 600
=. Each.
Especial to the Newarllk Star.

TRENTON, June 16.-Considerable
knowledge of the extent to which New
Jersey is the home of huge corpora
lions is given by an analysis of the as
sessment of the State tax for 1911
just made against the corporations
by the State Board of Assessors. The
schedule of the assessment filed a few
days ago By the State board with the
State comptroller, while only a prelim-
mary one. to be followed by others,
contained the levy against most of
the big corporations, including those
that are usually called trusts. The
schedule showed zoos corporations, the
tax against them being STATS. 92S.13.
An examination of the assessment
shows that 1879 of the corporations
taxed have capital stock issued to the
extent of $1O,0 00, 900. or more. each.
T~wenty-eight Of the companies have
capital stock outstanding of more than
$50, 600, 900 each, while six of the con-
Germs are in the 500, 000, 900 class with
capital stock issued to more han that
sum each.
The largest corporation on the list
is the United States Steel Corpora
ton, with issued capital STOCK OF
1858, 5s3. 600. it's tax this year being
$47,179.
standard OIL still on List.
The Standard Oil Company, which
has peer ordered dissolved by the Fed
eral Government, on the ground that
it is a trust, is on the list, the dis
solution not yet having taken place.
hi assessment shows that 1t has
issued stock to the extent of $S1, S43,
625, it's State a being $7,S42. The
small amount of tax is accounted for
by the fact hat a part of its capital
is represented by manufacturing plants
in this State and this stock is exempt
from this tax.
Besides the United States Steel Cor
poration, the companies in the $100, 600, :

sioners has made an order directing the

petition of Fife NJ. Bulmer, filed with
1t. to compel the Wildwood Waterworks
&C pany to extend it's water main in
North Wildwood in order to furnish

thus get water. while it would cost the
company 81, $50 to make the extension,
n the petitioner would be the only
customer on the extension.

FIRST LEGAL ELECTROCUTIQN IN
KENTUCKY At EDDYVILLE.

Eddyville, KY, July 8. Calm
ly, without the support of any,
one, Jim Buckner, the 1S-yr-old
murderer Cf Policeman John
Roby, of Lebanon, KY, walked
into the death chamber at the
branch penitentiary here at SUM-
rise this morning, and sixteen
minutes later his lifeless body
was being prepared for burial.
The first execution of a con-
demed prisoner by electrocution
in Kentucky was a pronounced
success, in speed, painless and
the absence of the horrible fea-
lures attendant upon public hang
ing.
Forty-fve people, officials,
ministers and newspapermen,
witnessed the death of Buckner,
and among all the assembled Of
ficials and spectators. Buckner
was the least moved. From all
Indications his heart was neither
accelerated or retarded a beat or
his breathing or color affected.
He walked into the room be-
tween former Chaplain J. B.
Woodson and guard Block, but
neither of them touched him.
When he turned around and seat
ed himself the action was so nat
ural that every person in the
room at the instant thought Of
one seating himself in barbar's
chair.
Buckner might have rehearsed
his part in the performance with
the officials, who undoubtly were
letter perfect in their roles, so
exactly did he conform to the re-
quirements of the occasion. Af-
ter slidiug back comfortably in
the bulky death chair, he moved
his feet together, laid his arms
out along the arms Of tn e !

MORE SCHOOL TALK.

Mr.. Editor, here | am with
some more school talk. | have
just completed my annual report
to the State Superintendent, and
among other things that does
not look good for Crittenden Co.
in the average daily attendance.
There were 1906 pupil children
in the census report last year
with a daily attendance of 1923,
making something like one four
tn attendance. There was col
lected and spent in the county
for school purposes, building, re-
pairing etc.. included $25170.47,
making a cost of more than SIG
per pupil in school. Should we
have had a full attendance the
cost would have been less than
Sc. Now, this cost must go on
from year to year. 1t costs just
as much to supply the schools
for this one fourth of our child
rem as it does for the wholenum-
Der. At a little more expense to
the county this year, we are 60
ing to have a school at every
house in the county. This will
give every child in the county a
chance to attend a school with
out much complaint as to dis
tance. Iknow there are parents
and guardians who do not send
their children to school from SIM

0'REAR wins
THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION
FOR GOVERNOR.

Judge Edward C. O'Rear. of
Montgomery county, swept Ken
lucky in the race for the Repub-
licau nomination for Governor
last Saturday, receiving enough
instructed votes to insure his
nomination on the first ballot.
The returns are not yet complete
but enough have been received
to make O'Rear's nomination alb
solutely certain.
O,Rear's instructed vote alone
is almost twice as much as the
combined votes Of E. T. Franks
and Lieutenant Gov. w. H. Cox.
With the returns complete. o.
Rear is sure to have close to L.
500 votes.
With only six out of 119 coun-
ties to be heard from O'Rcar's
is 1894, CoX's 427, and Franks
364. Eight counties, having a
total vote of 120, send uninstruct-
ed delegations, all but two of
which will probably line up with
the Franks and Cox combination.
LATER, Wednesday noon o.
Rear was nominated on 1st Bal
lot this morning and his nomi-
nation was made unanimous.

the rest. almost with the air of
one, who feels himself about to
be relieved of some dreadful sus-
pense, and never quivered until
the first shock of electricity doub-
led his hands into fists. His lips
were seen to mutter a prayer
just as the cap was gently push
ed down over his head. That
was all.
Previously, during the death
watch, he had requested them to
tell mother | hope to meet her
in heaven. He had been bap-
tized by Rev. J. H. Holden and
he spent the hours of the night
reading his Bible.
Just before the execution both
the Rev: J. H. Holton and the
Rev. J. B. Woodson offered pray
err for the repose of the doomed
mans soul.
When everything had been ad-
justed and the prayers said, at
a signal P. w. Depp touched the
button and one rigor of the body
in the chair showed that the cur
rent had gone home. A moment
and then 1900 volts shot through
the body, producing no percep-
tible effect.

Five minutes later Doctor Moss
pronounced Buckner dead. How
ever, two minutes afterwards he
thought he discovered a slight
pulse, which was gone in anoth-

that men who have occupied prominent
places in affairs and have done great
things are incapable of doing effective
service after they have passed the ira
ditional three.score years and ten.
That this is fallacy few instances,
and they might be multiplied manifold,
will show.
Augustus was more capable of en-
pire at 76 than when he defeated Anto-
ny at Actium forty years before.
Gladstone conducted with brilliant
success his most strenuous political
campaign when over so. William L.
and Won Moltke won the victories of
Sedan and Grayelotte and laid France
PROSTATE in the dust when over 10.
Queen Victoria laid down the burden
of empire when in the full maturity of
her powers when over 80; and the vet
eran Emperor of Austria holds the
reins still with steady hand, though
already four-score. Marshal Radetzky
annihiated the army of Charles Albert
on the fatal field of Novarra when so
years of age; and Voltaire was crown
ed amid thunders of applause in the
Theater Franchise, when his Irene"
was placed upon the stage at 7S. Hum
boldt completed his immortal Cosmos
at 80. Chief Justice John Marshall
was in the full vigor of his powers at
so, and Chief Justice Roger V. Taney
at 81. Justice John M. Harlan, one of
the most distinguished of living Ken
tuckians, wrote recently an opinion
dissenting from the deliverance of the
Supreme Court on the Standard Oil
decision, characterized by wealth of
legal learning, powerful grasp of de
tail and soundness of logical process
unsurpassed by any of his contempora-
ries or any of his predecessors, and
this at the age of rs. Joe jefferson
never appeared with more dramatic
power than in Rip Van Wrinkle at IS;
Tennyson wrote Crossing the Bar"
when past so. LaPlace completed his
"Traite de la Mecanique Celeste" at
76, a work which takes front rank in
intellectual vigor, in scope and pro-
fundity with the Principia of Sir Isaac
Newton and the Quarternions of Sir
William Rowan Hamilton. Henry
Clay brought forward and carried
when 73 years old, the greatest politi-
cal measure of his life, the famous
compromise act of 1850. Daniel Web
ster and John C. Calhoun were still
full of fire of former years when they
died, the former at 20 and the latter
at 6S years of age. Gregory VII,
whose long contest with the German
Emperor reached its climax in the
humiliation of Henry w, at Canossa,
was nearing 70 when he brought his
antangonist to his knees; and Paul III,
ONE of the most imperious of the pom
tiTs. did not hesitate, when nearing
20, to illuminate his bull of eXcommu-
nication against Henry VIII. John
Wesley, when nearing 80 was still the
most indefatigable and elo q uent
preacher in England. Micheal Angelo
produced one of his famous master
pieces, 1.-The Last Judgment, when
three-score years and ten; aud Titan
at about the same age completed his
famous painting of "The Battle of
Lepanto."
