HAMILTON, Ont, Feb. 19.-Tele-
graphic instructions to defend Matthew

authorities Of Norlina, N. G.. will make
a second attempt to extradite next
Friday, were received to-day by Con

The newly constructed Sing Sing

thrown open for uSc after a conference

Steam heat was turned on in the cell

Innovations introduced
In the new prison are many innova

Vided into three classes The newly
arrived Will be quartered in one cor
ridor, the "pre- execution" squad will
occupy another and the sic k. either
mentally or physically, will be sepa
rated from the other two classes. That
class referred to as "pre~execution" is
composed of persons who have failed
in appeals and arc doomed to certain
death.
important changes have been made
IN the construction of the death cham
Der proper. In Sing Sing up to the
present time only a thin board parti
ton separated the actual chamber of
death from the cellhousc, in which
other condemned heard every word and
sound transpiring in the course of an
execution. In the new house there are
heavy metal doors and a corridor sep
aratng the cellhouse from the chamber
of death. No sound pcnctratcs from
the latter to the former Also in the
new execution chamber Executioner
Hubert is concealed from all witnes-
ses or the clectrocution, including the
condemned. He is stationed in small
room, from which he directs the cur
rent when notified that all is ready.
Cells Made Safer
While cells arc equipped with sani-
tary plumbing, all pipes end ordinary
detachable parts are sunk in walls
and floors, so that criminals will be
unable to improvise weapons for attack
on attendants or to use them in at
tempts at suicide. Even electric lights
that illuminate the cells are sunk in
pits so that they may not broken and

ROMAN RECORDS IN AFRICA
Discovery II Is Believed VIII Throw
Much Light on Early History
Of the Empire.

A discovery which, 1t is claimed,
will form one Of the fundamental
sources for q history Of the Roman
empire under Augustus has been made
recently by Doctor oliverlo, an Ital-
ian savant In Cyrene, the ancient
Greek colony In Africa, founded in the
Seventh century.
A Morning Post correspondent, writ
ing from Cyrene, says that excavations
at Bengasl-the ancient Berenice,
which stood In the midst of the gar
dens of the Hesperldes, near the mouth
Of the River Lethe-have resulted In
the unearthing Of block OF marble
eight feet long, one face of which
bears a flawless Greek inscription Of
over one hundred lines; the transla-
ton OF letter from Augustus on the
government and administration of JUS
tlce in Cydenalca, giving a wonderful
insight into the financial and judicial
conditions Of the country at that time.
Other interesting finds are sane
tuary dedicated to Eastern dlvinitles,
probably Of the time Of Julian the
Apostate, with a remarkably well-pre-
served black marble statue Of an
Egyptian goddess. An extensive
Ptolemalc cemetery also has been To-
Gated. At Apollenla, a Christian ba-
silica Of the Fifth century is being ex-
cavated, and at Merdj, the ancient
BARGE, some Cutie inscriptions have
been found which are held to be OF
great Importance when the history Of
the Arab conquest comes to be written.
