reduced consumption must inevitably be

Recent Incidents of the campaign have
aerved te call attention te tbe change going
ou In tbe party ullllUtlena et the mere
thoughtful class of ctliz3ns, and te the In

change baa bcen from association with the
Reeubllcan organlzttlen te a mcre liberal
attitude or te open alliance with the par'y
of tbe administration. Within tbe pant
week there have been aeveral not
able lnitancca in this Immedlate
section et gentlemen prominently con
nected with our educational Institutions
taking tbls stand, and, what Is yet mere
remarkable, associating themselves pub
licly and actively In the canvass. In the
nhniiutin town of Andover. the Cleveland
ratification meeting last week had for Ita
presiding ofileer Prof. David O. Wells, of
Phillips academy, a lire-long Republican,
who justified hla change by the assertion
of hla belief that bis old party hid "out

Blrest. Upen ".veral Omssteaa.
Fer some time ptat tbe firm et J. V.
Houghten A Ce., wholesale druggists of 20
West King street, have beta annoyed by
petty thieves who stele money. In the
front el the atete there la a soda fountain,
and Immediately behind It en tbe shelf
stands a box In which money Is kept. This
box has been robbed aeveral times within
a week, and tbe lese has been considerable.
On Wednesday last, while T. J. Houghten
was in the rear of the store, some one en
tered tbe front deer and emptied tbe box
of its contents, amounting te about f 1.50.
On Tharsdsy CO cents mere wm taken,
and the theft wai repeated en Baturday.
J. O. Houghten then began tn inspect that
the thefts were being committed by a num
ber of yenng boys who had been in the
habit of coming into the store at different
times and buying lloerlce and ether
things. They would corns qul'e frequently
and always seemed te have money and
te be well acquainted. Wednesday after
noon J. C. Houghten was seated In the
back part of the atore when he beard a
noise in the front llke soma one walking.
He walked forward and found a small boy
coming from behind the soda fountain.
He asked him what he wanted and the boy
said licorice lozenges. The latter left the
store looking rather disturbed, after being
told that tbe artlcle he was in search of was
net kept, Mr. Houghten at once suspected
him of belng a thief. He examined the
box and found that three quarters and
a bait dollar, which had been In It were
gene. He loekod out and saw tbe boy
walking down West King street, He
qulekly followed, overtaking htm near
Prince street The boy at onee "caved"
and confessed that he had stolen tbe money.
He brought from his pocket the four pieces
of stolen silver and handed them te Mr.
Houghten. The latter gave the boy In
eharge of another party until be oeuld get a
polleeman. He seen found OOleer Wearer
who took the boy te the station house. He
there gave bis name as Elmer Rutt, nil age
as 11 years and said that he lived en High
street. He said that it was the first time he
had robbed Mr. Houghten and be had been
told te de It by boys elder than himself who
bad been stealing at the store for tome days
past.
Complaint was made against tbe boy at
Alderman Spurrier's, aud in the evening
when his mother came for him he waa
released for a hearing. Seme of the boys
who were companions of Rutt, and whose
names he gives, bear very bad characters.
They were often seen around Houghten's
store and 1: Is believed that yesterday they
sent Rutt te de tbe stealing and they were
te roeelve a share. The matter waa
given into the hands of Constable Elcbellz
te ferret out tbe ether guilty ones.

Trains of tbe Great Northern and the
West Coast Hallway companies ran a race
between Londen and Edinburgh Monday,
whleb, coeording te the New Yerk Times'
description, broke the werid'a record for
high speed. The dlstanee between the two
dues la 400 miles, and the time consumed,
exclusive et atop, was 7 hours and 25
minutes, tbe average speed being ever
&3K mllea an hour. Fer se long a run this
was unprecedented, Tbe Baltlmnre ft
Ohie between this city and Washington
frequently tnsk'ei the 40 mllea In 45
minutes, a speed et nearly 53 J f mllea an
hour, but this run Is hardly te be oe in pared
with tbe feat or Monday. The victorious
train, (the West Coast) which Included 4
passenger ears weighing 20 tens each, the
whole weighing 132 tens, ran from Londen
te Crewe, 158 mllea, without a atop, in 2
hours and 08 minutes. Part of tins dis
tance was traversed at tbe rate of 72 miles
an hour. Beyond Crewe a speed of 7.1
te 76 miles was kept up for ten miles, and
tbe 61 mllea between Crewe and Preston
were covered In Just 61 mlnutea. At the
former place there was a step et five min
utes te ehange engines, nnd at tbe latter a
atop of 20 mlnutea ter luncheon. After
passing Preston heavy grade were on en
countered, and tbe&; mi'.ta te Hhap Hum;
mlt were run at tbe tow ratoef 37Jf miles
an hour, but, the summit being psed, a
mile a minute was Ibeojuimen rate, though
72 wasmadoen down giale. At Carlisle
the engine was ehanged again, involving n
lets of 10 minutes. The 101 nilles from
Carlisle te Edinburgh were made In 101

and the Beotch capitals severe grades neces

these, an average rate of t3)i mllea an hour

The summer initie northward from Lon Len Lon

road, having beaten the Great Northern In
tbls trial of ipeed, will hepe new te break
the monopoly, of the fast paiienger trslMe
the latter company has bitborte enjnyud.
In June tbe schedule tlme between
Londen and Edinburgh was 0 hours.
This has been reduced by succosslve outs
te 8 beure and there Is said te ba a prospeet
or lis being redueed te 1)4 hours. The
sensations of a rraen going at a rate of 75
miles an hour are described as somewbat
novel, but net unpleasant, Thern are no
mere shaking and Jostling than at lewnr
speeds. The nolse of a tram pasting In the
opposite direction Is said, hewever, te be
aemetblng fearful, resembllug a volley et
musketry. Tunnels are recognized by the
crash and rear heard when they are
traversed and by the shewer of sparks
seen against the black background. An
regards danger, there Is no tnore of If, It Is
held, at fast than at alew rpseds, especially
en English resdr, where the road

agatust trespassers. In view of tbe tropl trepl tropl
datlen with which travelers between here
and Washington in the early days of rail
raiding used te regard a epeed of 13 miles
an hour, the nonebalanoe of the traveler of
te-day at speeds from three te llve times as
great Is worth notteg. We get used te a
great many things which at one stage of
our development we should have consid
ered Impossible, If It be saked why tbe
English reads se greatly excel as a rule the
American read in speed, tbe answer Is net
lar te seek. A great deal mero money Is
spent en tbe English read per mile than
en the American sometimes llve or alx
times as much. The grades are made
as easily as possible, the read-bed Is
solidly constructed, and traeks are com
monly inclesed en both sides, he that tramps
and animals with difficulty gain access te
tbem. The companies are net permltted te
oress reads and streeta at grade. They must
piss above or below thoroughfares in bueIi
a way as te prevent risk et less el llfe. The
expense Is, of ceuihj, very great, and
heavier Iban our reads through thinly,
settled regions could bear, but tbe benefit
is found lu the greater spaed, comfort and
ssfety of travel. We ate Improving fast In

Twenty one, be says, have been established
since the demand was first made, net be
n.n.n leslalaters thought they should be,
but because organized labor knew what It
wanted, and waa net be set aside.
With the number et organizations we
have, says Mr. Powderly, we eugbt te be
able at a week's notion te give an exhibit of
tbeexactcondltenorthel.borlug psople or
America. But he adds : ' I have found
that seven out of ten assemblies elect no
statistician, and but ene In ten la elected
because et his qualifications for the pest.
The greatest csru should lie exercised in the
.election of such rlllcera, and all possible
aialatance should be given tbem. Ne false
sense of sbame should prevent membeia
from stating their exact condition. NauiCH
may bsexselly known."
Mr. Powderly then quotes Rav. W. T.

en the alleged faet that many peeple are (km r
becauie they deserve te be peer, and bis
allusions te tbe seven hundred millions

The execution cf the Mnha Kejsh pirates,
which took place at Tengkeh ou Monday,
the 20th tilt, was, according te the Pen an g
uatette, a very grucaome s 11 sir. The sen
tence was read In a epsoe In front of the
palaoe. .About two hundred et the princi
pal Inhabitants, Slamose and Chinese,
had assembled, aud a large number
of police perhaps fifty slkhs and a
hundred Siamese surrounding the place.
There were nlne prisoners, two nt whom
were arrayed In white coats, which Is the
sign of condemnation of death, while tl.e
ether were clothed only In sarongs. All
of tl.etn were In heavy cbsles. The seu.
tenor, which with otber documents, took
about twenty minutes te read, was that
two of the prlsoners should be bebeaded j
the cther seven were each te recolve
ninety .trekes with tbe tattsn sixty ou
the .ret and thltty nt Bangkok and te
be Imprisoned for llfe. Ou the resiling
of the sentonce It was dlioevort-d that the
white coat had been put en the wrong
men, aud ene of the seven en hear,
ing himself thus cendemned te die,
came out from the rest aud prayed for
bis life at the aims tlme saying mat ene et
the ethors deierved death tuote than he,
It was lu valu, and the whlle coat was
transferred te the unfortunate supplicant.
The (lagging then commenced. Stands
had been erected wjiere lour men could be
Hogged at ouec curious ercotlens, onuslst enuslst
Ing et two pests placed about eighteen feet
spirt, with two parallel bamboo running
from the feet of the one te the top or the
ether, the culprits' heads being fastened
between thorn by two bars across. On sit
ting down,a rope waa fastened around each
prisoner's waist, and tied te the pest be
hind him ; his arms and legs were thou
pulled out straight in front et blm, his
hands tied te the bamboos and his
feet te the ether pest,tho ropes belng pulled
se tight that his back was Btretchnd like a
drum. First four men weru Hogged. The
rattana used lu the opniatleit were about
four leet long, and as each stroke loll tbe
men shrinked with agony, and their backs
gradually roae Inte a gory, swollen, shape
lesa mass. After administering thirty
strokes the (loggers stepped ter a rest of
about a minute and then gave the remain
ing thirty ; the three otber meu who had
still te be llogged and the two men who
were te be beheaded looking en nil the
time. When the four had been flogged the
otber three were treated te the same droad dread
tul punishment, after whleh they were
allowed te erawl In among the crowd. As
they were all heavily ironed there was no
chance of their escaping,
On the Hogging belug ever the polleo
closed up and marched with the two ouu euu
demned prisoners te the plaee et execution;
a field picturesquely situated at the feet et
a sugar-leaf ahaped hill, where a spaoe
about 250 yards lit clrcumferoueo had been
roped oil, round which a great crowd of
people, prlnutpilly Siamese and Chinese,
had assembleu. Insldethls lualoaure pellca
were stationed all around nt Intervals of
about threo paces. At one part of It a abed
had been erected for the oemmtsslouor and
ethors. At another there was a Hinall gist
form, en which weroptaeod teod and water
for the prlsoners ; and there, alter belng
sprinkled with water, large dlsheit of enrry
aud rlce wero placed bofero them, of which
thoypatteok heartily. 'X hey then washed
their feet, covered their beads aud prayed
toward the setting sun. Wiiim they hed
finished, the exeouttenors, after sprinkling
themKelvea with water, urecueded te ask.
forglvunesa of tbe prlsoners for tbe deed I
atiiitit tn hn ilnne. and en tbla belnir urantnd I
presented each vrlBoner with a (lower. The
executioners then partook of feed. Iu the
oentre of the Held two short stakes bad
been driven iute the ground, and te theau
when the executioners had finished their
inert, the prisoners walked slowly out,
without any ene te guard there. Ou arriv
ing at the slakes they again prayed; they
sat down with thelr backs toward lint atakev,
te which their arms were tied, sfier which
au olllelal walked out, blindfolded them
with strips of linen, filled their cars with
elay, and then retired with his as.l.tants,
leaving the enndemued men nloue lu the
middle et tbe field.
About two minutes after thoexeoutloners
walked out armed with Jupiuesu awerde,
and sat down seme thirty pices beyond tliu
prisoners. They sat thus ler purhap. u
minute; then they rose aud advanced
tewarda the deemed men, executing lanlas lanlas
tle dauce like figures, almost as If cautiously
approaching uu enemy, till they ciiiin with
in striking distance, when they ralntd thelr
swords a. if teatrlke; but Instead el doing
se turned round aud round and retired
te where they started from. After
a slieit pause they advanced ag.ln
In the same manner, but en coming
close, steeped down and looked fixedly fur
about ten seconds Inte the faces el tbe pris
oners, who .at perfectly motlenle.s, and
then ag.ln retired. The third time they
advanced, and, as in tbe first lust.ncu,
raised their awerda as If teatrlke, but In
stead of doing se they turned round and
again rellrud. Then they knelt down and
bowed toward tue commissioners, caueu
out in Hlamese that they awaited hla
or derr. On receiving the word they ad
vanced toward the pilaeuera morn qulekly
than bef re, and when within reach,
after standing fur a tow seconds, wltu
