ly unanimous in favor of annexation to

At a cost of two millions of dollars a
milo, an underground railway system
is about to bo constructed in New York
City. This system, it is said, will only
roquiro oxcavation nino and a half foet
deep, and will bo made practicable by
having tho trucks at tho ends Instead
of beneath the cars, and by tbo employ
ment of 300 horso power motors, ono
of which is now being constructed at
Providonco, It. I. Tho excavation is
to bo about thirty-five feet wide. It is
proposod to build a milo each month
until the entire work is completed.
Senator Metzgar and Representa
tives Fritz and Fox voted for the
High License bill, and in onr opinion
their action was proper. Some cbango
was needed in tho license laws of the
state, and whilo this now law is not
perfect by any means, it is bolter than
what we had before. High license will
meet with tho approbation of a largo
majority of the people. Under it thoro
is moro fairness than under tho old
law. In township tho license is $75,
or $25 higher than before, while in
boroughs it is 150, or $100 higher
than beforo. Heretofore tho smallest
inns and tbe largest hotels in tho
county all paid the samo license fee.
Tbe laying of upwards of a thousand
miles of new railway track during tbo
the threo winter months of the present
year has already been referred to as
unprecedented in tho history of railway
build'ng in this country, and indicative
of a great boom in that particular in
dustry. The Chicago Journal of
Commerce publishes a staicrrent cor
roborate of this viow, in vhioh it is
claimed that tho now track to be laid
in 18S7 will aggregate 21,347 miles, or
nearly twice the amount ever laid in
any former year. In addition it is
stated that 18,854 miles of old track
will be relaid with now steel rails, tbo
old rails being worn out and useless.
If this estimate is a reliable one it
does not require a prophet to predict
the greatest business boom the country
over saw.
WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Regular Correspondent.
WiSUiNQTOif. D..O. .May lOtli, 1887.
The country youth or maiden who
reads of the happy lot of the Govern
ment clerk here, with bis salary of
from 1200 to 1800 per year, with his
abundant leisure, and with the great
advantages, social, literary, and spec
tacular, which life at tbe Capitol af
fords, is filled with longing. If the
country youth and maiden are not an
gels, thoy may oven be filled with
envy. Tbe enchantment which dis
tance lends to alleged happy lots is
often provocative of envy. Perhaps
tho only happy lot is the little one of
six by three feet upon which daisies
cluster, but in which thcro is enchant
ment only for those who have seen
iridescent bubbles of lifo burst at the
touch, including even the bubble of a
government position. But this is a
digression from tbe straight and nar
row path of a Washington correspon
dent. Your correspondent wishes to ex
plain that he was not discharged, he
resigned and retired into the business
of journalism, and I look back on my
experience as a Government clerk with
out envy or longing. But to tbe aver
ago ex-clerk the retrospect is muoh
less enviable now, than it was then in
1873. Perhaps the greatest ill and
terror of youth is tho school examina
tion. Ob! dost thou remember? Think
of a lifo of protracted school examina
tions! Such is to bo tbe future life of
tho Government clerk! He may no
longer drivo his pen in peace, or fur
tively j-ead his newspaper. President
Cleveland has decreed that be shall
stand an examination for promotion,
whether ho wants promotion or not,
and that if ho fails to reach an aver
ago of 75 per cent., ho must step down
and out. Saints, sinners and the
Bcccher family ! hut this is hard on
tho gilded and kalsomined youth and
maiden whom Grant, Hayes, Garfield,
Arthur, Blaine, Mationo, Conkling and
all tboso illustrious spoilers pensioned
upon tho Treasury in tbo riotous days
oi reconstruction and carpet bags.
The very idea of a competitive ox
animation is quite paralyzing, for thoy
know little spelling and less arithmetic.
Geography, mahogany, physics and
hysterics aro all the same to them.
There has been an increased demand
for school books in Washington duriuir
the past week, and tbo Capital of tbo
united states is likely to bo tbe para'
d'lBo of pedagogues, Already they
have advertised to nrenaro applicants
for civil servico examination. But tbo
iact remains that an education cannot
bo improvised, and tho middle aged
Republican clerks who have impaired
- their minds as well as their hearts in
straining to keen alivo tho memories
and tne polioy ot tuu war, nave no vi
tality loft for tho study oi text books.
Tbo past week added another to the
many pageants which Washington has
witnessed. Tbo ' Statuo of Garfield
was unveiled with muoh parado and
oratory, Ex-Speaker Iveifer made ,i
prolix and turgid address. Tho Prcsi
dent had a hard rolo to enact as repre
sentative of tbo Nation in accepting
the monument, which he did in a little
speech which was not very bad, con
sidering tho necessary embarassment
which a well informed honest man
must foel when called upon to speak
well of a small politician, a narrow
partisan, and a President who was tbe
weak puppet of Blaiue. Is tho Presi
dent well informed f Has he forgot
ten the part Garfield took In defraud-j
ing tho country of it cboson president
in 1870 T Has ho forgotten that It
was tills Bamo man who from tbo
stump told Republican audiences, in
an era ot peace, twenty years after
tbo war, to look along tbo barrels of
their ritlcs and voto as thoy shot?
Say nothing but good of tho dead ?
Classic bosh 1 Then erect statues in
honor of Neto and Judas Iscariot, for
thoy too aro dead. I am sick of thoso
everlasting statues to spurious mush
room fame. Tildcn, whom Garfield
defrauded of tho Presidency, and thus
mado his own election possible, can af
ford to wait a hundred years for his
statue, but when it is built, no ono
looking ovon at Washington's monu
ment should bo ablo to say excelsior.
1 'Great captains with their guns and drums,
Disturb our judgment for tho hour,
But at last silence comes:
These arc nil gone, nil, standing llko n
tower
Our children shall behold his fame."

Death of Jnitioe Woods-
Justice William B. Woods, of tho
Supreme Court of tho United States,
died at his homo in Washington on
Saturday. Ho was sorionsly illln Cali
fornia about a month ago, but improv
ed enough to cnablo him to como homo.
After Ids Urival ho continued to grow
worse. His diseaso was dropsy. Ho
suffered intensely Friday night, but in
tho early morning ho apparently bo
camo insensiblo to pain. Ho was en
tirely unconscious Saturday morning
and tho only ovldenco of lifo vlsiblo
was his slow respiration. Ills family
roahzed that tho end was near. Ho
passed away pcacefnlly, without ovlno
ing any sign of returning consciousness
It was at intervals only that ho mani
fested any recognition of thoso around
him.
Justice Woods was born in Nowark,
O., and, after receiving his p-iinary ed
ucation, was sent to Yale College,
whero ho graduated in 1845. Subso
quontly ho studied law and began tho
practlco of his profession in 1847.
Entering inlo politics as a Democrat,
ho was elected in 1857 to tho Ohio
Legislature and mado Speaker, and was
re-clcotcd to tho samo body two years
thereafter. Aftor tho breaking out of
tho war in 1801 bo went into tbo mili
tary servico as Lieutenant-Colonel of
tbo Sovcnty-slxth Infantry, sorving
until the war closed, when ho was
mustered out with tho rank of briga-dier-goneral
and brevet-major-general.
Ho was mustered out in Alabama,
where he remained. Returning to legal
duties and political lifo ho was chosen
a Stato Cbansellor for six years, but
aftor sorving in this position for two
years was appointed by President
Grant Cirouit Judge of tho United
States for tho fifth Dislriot, which
ofiico ho held whilo residing in Mobile
for a number of years. His promo
tion to tho United States Supreme
Court took placo in 1880.
Eloctrio Execrations.
QUICK AND SURE DKAT1I FOR MURDERERS.
Recent fatal accidents to linemen
both in Philadelphia and in New York,
says the News, caused by men coming
in contact with heavily charged electrio
light wires, havo rovived interest in
tho idea of displacing tho gallows by
electricity as a means of capital pun
ishment. Bills havo bcon framed by anti-
hanging societies in several States, and
will be presented at tho various State
Legislatures, providing for tho employ
ment of electricity instead of the noose
in executions. The advantages of
the method over tbo present raodo of
infltoting tho death penalty is so ap
parent that it is probable that tho bills
will meet tho approval of some of the
States at an early day.
.Numerous methods, or rather many
ways of applying the same method,
have been suggested, but only threo
havo met with general approval among
the promoters of the movement. Tho
only question considered is which
would be tho surest and quickest means
of causing death. Said a yery promi
nent electrician who is interested in
the movement :
"Many things have to bo considered
before a method ot killing by electricity
could be applied. There is no doubt
about the power, nor is there any ques
tion but that it could bo used so as to
cause death instantly and without pain.
What would kill one person might havo
but little effect upon others, however.
After determining the necessary Jorce
to exeouto tho exact manner of apply
ing is not of so much importance as is
the portion of the body upon which tbo
charge would be delivered, should an
electrio bolt be applied to tbe back of
tho neck so as to strike tho spinal col
umn a muoh smaller obarge would be
required to kill than probebly in any
other portion of the body.
"1 am not nor is any one able to
give the exact strength of a battory to
cause death. It is generally thought
that 250 volts would not kill in the ma
jority of cases, whilo it is known that
1,000 volts would produce death almost
regardless of how it was applied. The
electrio light wires on Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, are charged with 3,000
volts, so you oan readily see how dan
gerous it would be for a person to
touch an exposed portion of tbo wire
without anything like a connection be
tween himself aud tho ground."
rbe llayes-uarrison method, that of
applying the obarge to tbe back of tbe
neck, is considered by electricians to
bo tbe surest and swiftest and at the
same time requiring the least foroe. A
band fits olose around the head with
one pole pressing hard against the
pinal column at tho back ot tho neck.
The condemned man Btands upon a
zinc plate insulated from tho floor. To
the plate the other pole of tbe battery
is oonneoted. tho instant tbe current
is thrown on from tho dynamo ma
chine death ensues.
The most humane or merciful method
is that proposed by Jablakoff, the fa
mous Russian eleotrician. He suggests
a large armchair with copper arms con
nected with wires. Wires also run to
tho metal plate upon which tho ohair
stands and upon which the feet of the con
demned man aro placed. Behind tho
chair is a powerful coil. Tho doomed
man is seated in the chair with his arms
resting on tho copper plates, bis arms
being firmly held to the arms of the
ohair by straps. As very little except
the chair is seen by tho victim, and as
thoro is. an entire absence of anything
indicating to him tho approaching dis
solution, this method has less terrors
than any other. Indeed, Jablakoff
claims, that if desirable, the exooulion
could take place without tho condemn
ed having knowledge that his lifo was
about to end. A wavo of tho hand of
tho executioner, tbo touching of a but
ton, or, as has been suggested,, tbo tip
ping of tbe scales of Justice, closes trie
circuit and all is over.
Somewhat similar to the Hayos-Gar
risou method is that of Metidez. While
it has all tho terrors of tbo former, it
requires, tho eleotricians claim, a great
er' foroe, Tbo doomed man stands up
on a glass plate perfectly insulated
irora uiu tioor. Around his bead is a
band of rubber with two poles of the
battery pressing oloso against the
tomples. All ready, tho signal is giv
en, the dynamo in an adjoining room,
or a mile away, if prepared, throws its
forco upon tho wires attached to the
man's bead, and without pain life is ex
tinct. "Iu tho instanco of the man who was
killed a short time ago whilo repairing
an eleotrio light wire" said tho
eleotrician quoted above, "he was
actually cooked to death. Ho might
as well be bit in tbe head with a club,
so far as ease in dissolution was con
cerned. The charge was strong enough
under either of tho methods of Jabla
koff, Hayes-Garrison or Mendez to kill
a dozen men, perhaps, while it was
baroly sufficient to kill ono man under
tho sad conditions mado pubiio at tne
Inquest.
Another interesting instrument sug
gested as a moans of punishment Is tbe
eloctrio oat-o'-nlne-talla Invented by
Hcnrv Paget, of Lyons, Franco. Tho
person to bo whipped is strapped to a
steel trianglo concocted with ono polo
of a battery. Tho other polo connects
with n whin oomposed ot rucol wires
covered with sponge. Tho whip is
dipped in water, and when tbo siroico
is administered to tho baro baok otcotrio
discharges aro mado. Mr. Paget claims
that bis invention should be adopted
In overy civilized country to bo ttsod in
tho punishment oi wno beaters.
