A friend of Senator Cameron says that
gentleman desires to sneceed himself in the
United States Senate and can do it, whether
Quay likes it or not. Washington offi
cial life is very congenial to him,
and his closest friends are in the
tipper house of Congress. The idea of set
tling down to retired life or a life of lousi
ness Is distasteful to him. General Hender
son says he wants the Speakership. The
sources of accusations will be kept quiet as
usual. Secretary Noble refuses to talk
about Tanner.
rSrECIAI. TELICRAJC ffO TUX DISPATCH.1
Washington, July 10. "I saw Senator
Cameron for a few minutes after he returned
home yesterday," said aPennsylvanian who
arrived in the city this morning, "and I can
assure you that it is all bosh about his not
being in the race lor the Senatorship. He
won't only be in the race, but he will
be in to win, and he will win with
or without the consent of Quay or
anybody else. But the talk about his beiDg
opposed is absurd. If he wants the place
he will practically have no opposition. Ad
mitting that Quay has taken a more prom
inent part in the active work of the party,
Cameron has furnished more of the sinews
of war than any other man in the State, and
beside that, the name of Cameron is yet a
name to conjure with in Pennsylvania poli
ties. As to influence in Congress, if Quay
were to remain his life in the Senate he
trould not acquire the hold on "that body
that is wielded by Don Cameron."
Cameron Wants to Stay.
"But," it was suggested, "the story is
that Cameron doesn't desire to remain in the
Senate; that he intends to retire from poli
tics." "Well, as to that," was the reply, "what
in the world would the man do? He has
been in politics all his life. He is rich, and
does not need to make more money. He
is fond of Washington as a place
of residence. All of the most
intimate friends of his life are here. In no
ether spot on earth can he find such close
and congenial friends as he has in the mem
bership of the Senate of the United States.
These friends will undoubtedly remain in
the Senate as long as they live, and out of
the Senate he would be divorced from
them in great measure. Moreover, the
Senator is not a man to remain idle.
He must have something to occupy his
mind. While he makes business invest
ments, and makes them shrewdly, he doesn't
care to devote his whole mind to business.
The majority of his later investments are in
real estate here in your city of Washington,
and tbese are usually the result of informa
tion given him by trustworthy real estate
agents, and he therefore does not give his
mind to the investigation ot chances for
profit. I know from his own mouth that
lie Likes ibe Society
of Washington, but out of the Senate he
would be simnly a rich retired gentleman
in Washington society, and not the million
aire Senator who exercises a strong influ
ence on the Republicans of the Senate,
though be cannot shine as an orator, and
who could have nearly the solid vote of the
Democratic side of that body for any office
to which they could elect him. Those who
do not come into close contact with the
Senator do not know him. He does not at
tempt to make himself popular, hut Jie
makes many and close friends, and, like his
father, grapples them to him with hooks of
steel. He can have all the freedom he
wants as a member of the Senate, while out
of office he would absolutely not know what
to do with himself. Let me make this pre
diction: Unless the heavens should fall,
and Pennsylvania become a Democratic
State, Don Cameron will remain in the
Senate until he dies, or resigns on account
of old age."
The gentleman who gives the foregoing
interview has been an admirer of the Cam
erons, father and son, all his life, and is in
a position to know something of the Sena
tor's intentions in politics.
SILENT AS TO a'ANNER.
Secretary Stone Will Not Talk Abont Him,
but Explains a Liberal Policy.
Washington, July 10. Secretary
Noble was seen late this afternoon and
asked if there were any truth in 'the
reiterated reports that he desired
to have a new Commissioner of
Pensions in place of Corporal Tanner.
He was just getting into the department
carriage at the time to be driven to his
home. He said that he had nothing to say
about the reports. He made no answer and
immediately drove off when asked if this
statement could be interpreted that the pub
lication had some foundation.
Secretary .Noble, in an interview with
Delegate Carey, of Wyoming, to-day, said
that the policy of this administration would
be broad and liberal toward the Territories;
that the orders of the late Land Commis
sioners, McFarland and Sparks, suspending
land patents in a large portion of Wyoming
Krani flf 1l(itfiatlnnAryv!l and Mnnl listiilrl
be rescinded; that the lands where there J
were no evidences of minerals should be
sent to patent; that persons who settled
upon the public lands or purchased lands
in good faith should have their
evidences of title; that this was
his policy and that Acting Commissioner
Stone was in accord with him. The Secre
tary also informed Delegate Carey that he
might say to the settlers of Wyoming that
they should have their patents and that, in
addition to home rule, every proper encour
agement would be given ta efforts looking
to the advancement of Territories and their
admission as States whenever prepared to
assume the duties of statehood.
AN HONEST CANDIDATE.
General Henderson Doesn't Seek a Secluded
Place to Say He Wants tbe Speaker.
ship His Competitors and
the Extra Session.
iSrXCIAt. TELEGRAM TO TUB DISrATCB.1
Washington, July 10. If there have
been any doubts whether there are to be
four Western candidates for the Speaker
ship of the next House, those doubts can be
set at rest. General D. B. Henderson, of
Iowa, who has spent the day here, says:
If anyone thinks thatl am a.stalking-horse
for anyone else, he may as well dismiss that
fancy. I am in the field as an earnest and
active candidate. I do not say that I shall win.
for none of the candidates will hardly be fool
ish enough to speak with any such confidence.
Tbe situation is not clear enough to make an
estimate of ultimate strength. There are five
candidates, of whom four are from the West,
fori suppose that tbe Eastern men are dis
posed to call Ohio west. Western men them
selves might draw the boundary further west
than Ohio. But however that may be desig
nated, there are five candidates inthefleld for
Speaker Reed, JlcKInley, Cannon, Burrows
and myself, and it is not necessary, except for
tho mere matter of modesty, to write myseir
in too small caps. I am in the field to stay. I
am not covering up any scheme. I am not ran
ning in tbe Interest of any other candidate. I
am a candidate pure and simple, and shall do
the best I can in the canvass. We shall know
more about these things after a while. Mean
time we do not even know when Congress is to
convene.
There is no longer any reasonable doubt
that there is to be a session of the next Con
gress before December. The only point
which may be said to be nndetermined is
the date. The President's Private Secretary
incidentally said to-day that he believed an
extra session had practically been deter
mined upon. The President himself was
quite as specific in his statement to Senator
Washburn, of Minnesota. The difference
was that the President suggested to Mr.
Washburn that it would be expedient for
him to return from Europe by the middle of
October. It is certain, however, that the
Congress will not be convened until after
the representatives from the new States
shall been elected. The day fixed by sev
eral Senators who have conversed with the
President as most probable is the last Mon
day in October, or the first Monday in
Kbvember.
ACCUSATIONS ON THE QDIET.
The President Decides it Is Best to Keep tbe
Source of Cunrxes Secret.
rSrECTAI. TXLXGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.
Washington, July 10. The President
has made a final decision in response to
many requests that have been made for in
formation as to charges preferred against.
office-holders, that have been made the basis
of removals or against applicants for office.
The practice in all the departments is to
withhold all information as to the reasons
for removal from office. A protest was re
cently made to the President against this.
It was represented to him that under this
practice an applicant for office was deprived
of the privilege granted to the meanest and
worst criminal in the country that ot fac
ing his accuser, cross-examining them and
replying to their charges. The office-seeker
is not even permitted to know what tbe
charges against him are nor who makes
them. It was submitted to the President
by a centleman who came in behalf of a
friend of his, whosn appointment had been
delayed by just such charges, that this se
crecy was not fair nor just to the man ac
cused. To this the President replied, in effect,
that it would never do to disclose the names
of the men who made the charges, as that
practice would prevent many people from
telling what they knew against candidates.
It might be a hardship in some cases, but it
wes the less evil of the two. The same rule
prevails as to removals. If anyone seeks
information on this subject, it will be neces
sary to make application elsewhere that at
tbe Government departments. There will,
of course, be exceptions as to the class of re
movals, for which the President is com
pelled to give a reason to the Senate, but it
is to the Senate only that these reasons are
to be communicated.
THE NEW COMMISSIONER.
Horace A. Taylor Expected to Invigorate tbe
Office ofRailvray Commlstloucr.
rsrxciAi. TXLXOBAX TO TBE SISI-ATCH.1
Washington, July 10. Horace A.
Taylor, of Wisconsin, who succeeds the ex
Confederate, General Jos. E. Johnston, as
Federal Commissioner of Railways, is the
editor of a newspaper at Budson, Wis., ana
was earnestly recommended for the position
by Senators Sawyer and Spooner, who ap
pear to have a good deal of influence with
the administration. The office of Commis
sioner of Bailroads, when it was first created,
was expected to be one of the most impor
tant in the Government service. It was a
forerunner of the Inter-State Commerce
Commission, and had its origin'iii the same
movement in Congress which has succeeded
in placing important restrictions upon the
railroads. But this office has not realized
the expectations ot those who originated it.
In the early years of its administration it
was tainted with jobbery, and one of its
officials was shown to hold close relations to
one or the corporations he was appointed
to watch. General Johnston has conducted
the office on a high plane, but he has not
been able to bring sufficient energy to its
administration, which could hardly be ex
pected in a man past 70 years of cge. The
new Commissioner is said to be a man of
great activity and energy.
COLUMBIA'S GOOD LUCK.
The District Secures Two Foreign Appoint,
menls From the President.
rcrECiAi. TXLXonjuc to the dispatch.i
Washington, July 10. The District of
Columbia came in for an nnusual streak of
good luck to-day in securing two foreign ap
pointments. Everybody is pleased that Dr.
Hartigan should get the Consulship to
Trieste, where he may have the breezes of
the Adriatic, as he is a popular and learned
physician, who has been in ill health for
some time and not able to practice at his
profession. The other appointment is not so
well received. John J. Chew, who is ap
pointed Secretary of the Legation at Vienna,
is a clerk in the State Department,
Much sympathy is expressed for Hon.
Boswell G. Horr, of Michigan, on account
of his being forced to accept such a position
as Consul at Valparaiso. He lost all the
business and money he ever had in politics,
and while serving in Congress and since his
failure in business and loss of office 'be has
been making a trifle delivering lectures.
He was ready to accept anything, but it is
considered very cruel that he is to be foroed

rsrzcut. telxgbax to tub dispatos.1
Washington, July 10. Some months
ago it was stnted Chief Justice Fuller had
purchased the fine old-style residence of
Judge Wylie, on Thomas circle, but
it appears the negotiations fell
through. The Chief Justice has now
leased the elegant residence of ex-Senator
Van Wyck, of Nebraska, on the corner of
Eighteenth street and Massachusetts ave
nue, close to Dupont circle, and in the
heart ot the fashionable quarter. It has
been occupied during the last two seasons
by Hon. Smedlev Darlington, tbe Quaker
representative in Congress from the Chester
county (Pa.) district. The house is a very
spacious one and among the best in the city
for entertaining.
A few days ago ex-Senator Van Wyck
purchased at auction several thousand feet
of ground in the form of a triangle, just
opposite this residence, and directly on
Dupont circle, for $5 80 a square foot. On
this he will erect another magnificent resi

The Intcrestlnc Question of the Klebts of a

Washington, July 10. During his
term as Secretary of the Interior, Secretary
Vilas, in a decision involving the right of a
Sioux half-breed to transfer his scrip, held
that such scrip was not-transferable. Since
that time a motion has been made to reopen
the whole matter for reconsideration, a large
qnantity-6f such scrip having been issued
and transferred. The arguments on the
question of reopening the matter was com

Secretary Noble, Assistant Secretary Chand

THE ENCAMPMENT OFF.

Rate A Disappointed City.
rErECIAI. TXLXOKAK TO THE DISPATCH.)
Chicago, July 10. The National En
campment of the Grand Army of the Re
public at Milwaukee has been abandoned
on account of the refusal of the railroads to
grant the 1-cent a mile rate. An order to
this effect will be issued to-morrow br Gen
eral James S. Martin, Department Com
mander of Illinois, and Colonel C. A. Part
ridge, Assistant Adjutant General. This
step was not decided on till the last moment
and may be considered as final unless the
railroads concede the point demanded by
the soldiers.
Milwaukee has been making great
preparations for the encampment, and the
City Council appropriated (40,000 for the
accommodations of the 200,000 people ex
pected. A committee, consisting of the
department commanders of nine States, re
cently called on Chairman Blanchard, of
the Central Traffic Association, to arrange
the rate matter with him. He promised to
communicate with railroad managers, and
was given till to-day to grant the rate.
This afternoon the committee, headed br
Colonel Partridge, called on Mr. Blanchard
for his decision, but found that he had left
LforJtTeiOroxkTJher then railed on Chair-.
rman Abbott, of the Western States Pas

and instructed General Martin to issue an
order to department commanders that ac
commodations would be made for no more
than 1,000 delegates.
THE EAGING WATERS.
From 4 to 30 Persons Lost In the Flood at
Johnstown, N. IT. A Cloudburst tbe
Cause of tbe Disaster Spectators
on a Bridge Washed Away.
Schenectady, N.T., July 10. There
is as yet no certainty of the loss of more
than four lives at Johnstown. These victims
were bn a bridge viewing the flood after
the storm. They had beeu warned to keep
off the strncture, as it was considered dan
gerous. One end of the bridge dropped into
the water, but was not carried away.
The damage in the valley of the Caya
dutta to mills, roads, bridges and crops will
reach $30,000. At 3:10 this afternoon one
track of the Central Railroad bridge at
Fonda and two tracks at the washout
at Aikens were repaired sufficiently to al
low trains to pass, and orders were issued
for all trains to remain on their own road. '
With the slight delay of using a few miles
of single track, all trains will be running
as usual before morning.
Johnstown citizens are engaged in remov
ing the wreckage of Schriever's mill, near
the depot, where they think other bodies
have been lodged. It is believed that the
two men who went down on a plank lost their
lives at the dam, and that their bodies were
carried down the stream, and are now float
ing in the Mohawk river. No one really
knows how many people were drowned or
who is missing. The flood was so great and
the current so swift that no help could be
rendered without great danger.
There are some who place the loss of life
as high as 30 persons. It will certainly not
exceed that number, and probably
not over half that many were drowned.
The Ferry street bridge consisted of
an arch spanning the entire width of the
stream. It was upon one of the plank walks
that the people were standing when tbe
arch was carried away. f
FOE CBONIN'S MUBDEB.
The Canadian Authorities Hold Bnrke for
Extradition Tbe Case Mode Out
Against Him is Sufficiently Strong
Another Link In the Chain.
Winnipeg, July 10. The arguments in
the Burke extradition case were printed
this afternoon, and Judge Bain delivered
judgment immediately. Speaking of the
depositions Dciore tne Chicago grand jury,
to which objection had beenmade by counsel
for the defense, he said:
It only remains for me to consider if the evi
dence in tbese depositions and from witnesses
is sufficient to juBtlfy me in committing the
prisoner for extradition. There is no
doubt but that tbe crime is within the
meaning of the extradition act. I have
in this matter to act in the same manner
as if tho prisoner was broncht before me. sit
ting as a Magistrate or Justice of the Poace,
charged with an indictable oil ense committed
in Canada.
The Judge went on to say that the evi
dence which, in the the case of an indict
able offense, was sufficient to justify a com
mittal for trial with or without bail, was
sufficient in the other case to justify a de
maud for extradition. He committed
Burke to the nearest jail to await
requisition, the prisoner standing up while
the commitment was pronounced. An ap
plication will be. made to the Department of
Justice at Ottawa at once lor Burke's extra
dition, but the prisoner will be given 15
days grace in which to apDeal from Judge
Bain's decision.
A-dispatch from Chicago says that young
Mrs. Carlson, daughter-in-law of the people
who own the Carlson cottage, will swear
when Dr. Cromn's murderers are brought to
trial that she saw the doctor enter the
cottage on the fatal night, and heard the
straggle in the house. This, if true, is a
very important link in the chain ot evi
dence, as 'there has not heretofore been
known to be any direct proof that the(doctor
was murdered in that cottage. v. V ' '

New York. Julv 10. No definite ar-s
rangements are yet made for the reception
of Champion Sullivan when he gets to this
city on his way home to Boston, but there
is no doubt that a good deal of red paint
and other festive properties will be used on
that occasion. Until it is known just when
and how tbe Sullivan party will return to
this city, no plan for the reception will bj(
made. If the return trip is made by water a
steamer will be chartered to go down the bay
to meet Sullivan and bring him to the city.
Whichever way he comes he will be escorted
to the Vanderbilt Hotel, where there will
be a great banquet in his honor. It is ex.
pected that he will then go immediately to
Boston to see his mother, who is sick, and
will remain there some time. As soon as
he can leave his mother he will be brought
back to this city and made the star of a
great athletic entertainment that Arthur

New Obleansj July 10. In an ifiter
view to-night Governor Lowry said before
he got through with all those who had any
thing to do with the fight the laugh wfould
be on thcotber side. -The Constitution cjf the
State, he said, forbids the military author

direction of the civil authorities afnd for
that reason he was powerless to prevent it.
"However," he said, "I will see that every

intendent, who aided and abettt d the
fighters, will be held to a strict nccou: labil

against all parties concerned, and if tjhey do
not come to answer the charges I will issue
requisitions for them. I will not. see Che law
so flagrantly violated, and in the ivent of
Kilrain s death they will be prosecuted for

KILRAIN SHAMEFULLY TREATED.
Steve Brodle Tells How Mitchell albd Moore
Used Him After tbe Flghi
New York, July 10. Steve Blrodie, Dr.
Liston, of the New York AthleticClub, and
George West arrived here to-nifcht. They
are tbe first to get back from thdf Sullivan
Kiirain fight. Brodie took wifth him the
camp stool which Kilrain sat on in the ring.
He said:
It was agood flgbt while it I&stied, and Jake
stood It well. Under the circumstances Mltefi-
ell acted shamefully toward htm. When it was
over Pony Moore and Mitchell walked arm in
arm to the railroad station and dropptd in to
get something to eat on the way. Mike
Donovan ran after them, and Kilrain
stopped behind crying. Johnny Murphy left
Kilrain in the ring while he went to tbe rail
road station to get a wagon. , Jake got tired
waiting and started to walk with Jnst his ring
clothes on. Dr. His ton then took ofC bis coat
and gave it to him. Jake was still crying, and
the crowd followed him until they met tbe
wagon, when be got into it. Mitchell never
went near Kilrain till they were almost in New
Orleans.
KILBAIN IN PAIN.
The Punished Tuglllst Passes Through
Little Bock Bearing Bad Marks of
the Fight Not Sure That
It Was Fair.
Little Bock, July 10. The Kilrain
party passed through Little Bock this after
noon, They were passengers on the Iron
Mountain train from the Sonth, en route to
St. Louis. The party of sluggers consisted
of Jake Kilrain. Charley Mitchell, his
trainer; Pony Moore, of England; Dr.
Dougherty, Kilrain's physician; Prof.
Mike Donovan, the man who threw up the
sponge which gave the fight to Sullivan,
and Kid Murphy, Kilrain's bottle holder.
Kilrain did not leave tbe cor with the oth
ers to get dinner. He was very sick and
from all appearances he was badly used up.
The fact that he was sore from ring punish
ment could not be better illustrated than by
noticing him when he attempted to put on
his coat. This was difficult and was not ac
complished without the assistance of
Mitchell, who carefully helped him
on with it. Mitchell was not care
ful enough, and when the coat
was being pulled off it was noticed that the
pugilist winced as if in great pain. He
was finally seated and supported by big
Sillows, being wearied of the ride from
Tew Orleans. His face was discolored and
resembled mahogany more than anything
else, while his left eye was black and blue,
and just under his right eye he wore a cut,
the shape ot a crescent, and that optic was
also highly discolored.
Seeing that he was suffering, the reporter
did not press an interview, but Kilrain did
say that he had been licked, but not fairly,
and intimated that he would take the fight
up at the 66th round at tome future time.
He acknowledged that it was one of his off
days, and said if the fight had come off the
day before he would have made a better
showing. He made no complaint, however,
only that he was not at his best. While
the visitors and the reporter were convers
ing with Kilrain, Mitchell and Donovan
were on the floor engaged in a friendly
sparring bout.
"What do you think of the fight?" asked
the reporter of Mitchell.
"The papers say we were fairly and hon
estly defeated, but I have my doubts about
that. Jake was not in condition for the
fight, and under those circumstances he was
defeated. He thought he was O. K. and so
did I, but it proved otherwise, as you have
doubtless learned before this. STes, Jake Is
anxious to have another 'go' at the big
fellow, and it may be arranged when we get
home. We go direct to Baltimore, where
Mrs. Mitchell is the guest of Mrs. Kilrain."

toward the fighting ground. There it was
flagged through amistake of the roadmaster.
The crowd rushed for it and forced their way
in. The Kilrain coaches were coupled on.
While the Associated Press agent was en
deavoring to have the engine uncoupled to
take him to New Orleans and thus save his
scoop, a Denver tough drew a revolver and
threatened to shoot. It looked as though the
crowd would wipeout the ten Associated
Press men. After a parley the agent agreed
with Mitchell to take the'Kilrain party into
Louisiana, where they would be safe from

line military flagged the train, but it sped
along. At one place where the engine slowed
the Adjutant General was noted to be pres

At each place the militia leveled guns, but
did not fire. Where a halt was made on a

Any Man Living Can Be Executed hy
the Electrical Method.
HE WILL NEVER EVEN FEEL IT,
As the Current Moves Faster Than the
Nerve Sensations.
THERE IS NO CHANCE FOR A FAILURE.
The Examination or Experts Mode at the Instance of
Kemmler's Lawyers.
At the hearing on Kemmler's appeal from
execution by electricity yesterday an expert
testified that any man could be killed by a
proper current in 15 seconds. This time
would be too short to allow the nerve sensa
tions to reach the brain. One to two thou
sand volts is the required force. One dog
survived an experiment with a continuous
current.
(CPZCtAt TELXORA3I TO TUX DISPATCH. 1
New Yoek, July 10. When the lawyers
and electrical experts met in Bourke Cock
rane's office in the Equitable bnilding this
morning in the examination before Keferee
Becker to decide whether William Kemm
ler's electrical execution would be a cruel
and nnusual punishment, E. T. Gerry was
not on hand. He sent another telegram
from Newport, which said that he wouldn't
return to New York before the 20th or 22d
ot this month.
Electrical Expert Harold P. Brown took
the chair again, when the hearing began.
Ho said that not all of the animals which
had undergone experiments were dissected
immediately after the experiments. Some
were burned, while the bodies of others
were carted away. In the experiments at
Columbia College one of the dogs was
burned, but it caused such an odor that the
others were removed.
The horses used in the experiments in
Edison's laboratory were removed the next
day, while the calves were cut up by butch
ers'! "Were the horses cut up?"
"No."
"Then you don't know the effect of the
electrical current upon horses after death ?"
NEVEB SAW ONE.
"Have you ever heard of instances where
men or animals revived after the electrical
shock after they were supposed to be
dead?"
"I have heard of such cases, but they
never came under my observation."
"Did you take steps to see whether any of
the animals used in your experiments would
revive?"
"The horses and dogs had that oppor
tunity." Mr. Brown said that all of the dogs were
not actually killed in the experiment, as in
many of them attempts were made to find
tbe lowest pressure which wonld cause
death. One dog they found could not be
killed with the highest power of the con
tinuous current. 'Mr. Brown said the dog's
name was Ajax.
"Because ne defied the lightning, I sup
pose," said Mr. Cochrane. Mr. Brown ex
plained that if Ajax had been subjected to
tie alternating current some electricians
would have complained that the doc was
already-dying from the effects: of thecoW
tinuous current, wnen mr. .Brown was
asked whether he was tbe inventor of any
appliances for rendering electric light wire's
safe, he said that he had attempted to show
how the risk of death could be reduced by
contact with arc wires.
subs to kill.
In the opinion of the witness a current
could be supplied by the apparatus fur
nished which would inevitably kill the
subject. Mr. Brown acknowledged that he
had never seen a man killed and had never
known the physical condition of any men
killed by contact with electric light wires.
He nevertheless was confident from his
knowledge of the subject, that the current
would inevitabljr kill.
Mr. Brown said it was impossible to ex
actly determine the electrical energy re
quired, as the moment the current is ap
plied the resistance of the subject drops and
the electro-motive force, which is one of the
factors of the electrical energy cannot be
accurately fixed.
"Then the electrical energy is what kills
and that must be determined. Have you
ever determined it? Did you ever measure
the electrical energy of the alternating cur
rent?" "No."
This finished Mr. Cochrane's'examination,
and then Deputy Attorney Poste went to
work, to bring out still more information on
electrical subjects.
the bequibed amount.
"What is the intensity of the force re
quired to kill a man of the average resist
ance when the charge is applied to his
head?"
"Beyond any doubt the pressure of 1,000
to 2,000 volts with the electrodes of the
proper sizes would be fatal with the current
passing from head to foot."
Even with a man with a resistance of 60,
000 ohms, Mr. Brown would not vary his
opinion if the surface of the electrodes was
kept wet. Death would ensue, he calcu
lated, in less than 15 seconds, and in this
time the electrodes would not become ap
preciably heated. He donbted whether salt
water if nsed to moisten tbe electrode could
ever reach the boiling point on account of
tbe rapid radiation of tbe heart. Mr. Brown
was positive that the cnlprit who got the
benefit of the electric shock would never ap
preciate the current, which travels faster
even than the transmission of nerve sensa
tion to the brain.
CHILDREN IN THEATERS.
A Spirited Debate Upon the Subject In the
House of Commons.
London, July 10. In the House of
Commons to-night, during the debate on
the cruelty to children bill, Mr. Jennings
moved to permit children under 10 years of
age to perform, an exception being made in
the case of acrobatic performances. He
read a letter from Henry Irving, in which
the writer said: "Early years in the
theater are of infinite value to the members
of our calling. Some of the most dis
tinguished actresses owe their success largely
to tbe fact that they were brought up in the
theater. The stage was to them both
nursery and schoolroom."
Mr. Jennings instanced Kate and Ellen
Terry, Mrs. Kendall, Mrs. Bancroft and
Edmund Kean as those who had been
brought up on the stage. Mr. Labonchere
supported the motion. He .said children
were not ill treated on the stage. Theatri
cal people were of kindly nature. The only
injury the children were likely to incur was
from overmuch cake. They learned nothing
wrong behind the scenes, where decorum
was maintained. Their earnings assisted
many impoverished parents. The motion
was rejected 188 to 139.

Hareisbdeo, July 10. The annual re
port ol Secretary Stewart, of the Depart
ment of Internal Affairs, for 1888. just issued,
on the subject of vital statistics, says the re
port for 1887 exhibited the registration of
10,520marriages.
Since the beginning of the fiscal year the
number has been increased to 15,222. Of
tbe 30,444 persons included in the
marriages reported above, the ages of 29,452
are given, leaving only 992 whose ages are
not known. It is found that the
average age of the males at the time of mar
riage is 27.04, and of the females 23.04. In
the report ot 1887, in which appears the reg
istration of 10,520 marriages, the average
age of the males was found to be 27.00, and
of the females, 23.27.
The youngest female reported was 15 and
the oldest 71. Tliere were two males mar
ried at 16 and one at 86. Over 70 per cent
or the males and 60 per cent of the females
reported were married at ages raneing be
tween 20 and 28 years. Of 14,726 males 493
were married before arriving at the
age of 20, and of the same number of
females 4,065 were married before they
reached that age. Four hundred and thirty
seven males married after parsing
the 50th birthday, but only 171
females married after reaching that
age. Ibe records show the marriage
of a female of 59 years to a male of 31, and
a male of 74 to a female of 24. Seventy-nine
per cent of the males married females
younger than themselves, 13 per eent mar
ried females older and 7 per cent married
those of the same age.
There were 83 marriages in which one of
the parties had previously been divorced.
Of the causes of divorce given. 43 were for
desertion, 11 for infidelity, 4 for cruel treat
ment and 1 non-support, and in 23 no canse
is given.

While he was near there an acci
dent on the Bichmond and Alle

Superintendent of Public Instruction and
the Normal Sohool Inspectors, who were en
route to the Natural Bridge Convention,
were forced to remain on the roadside until
a stage coach was obtained.'
The troubles of the party did not end
here, however, for no sooner had they
started than the horses became unmanagea
ble, and could not be controlled by the
driver. Governor Lee chanced to encounter
the party while he wast out horse
back riding, and dismounting, he
swapped places with the driver,
and soon taught the refractory animals that
they were in the hands of a master. With
out difficulty he drove the stage over the
dangerous mountain roads, cracking his
whip from his high perch with much glee.
The colored driver who followed behind
looked on in amazement.
J30JIEWHAT SENSATIONAL.
The Dual Llfi Brought to IJght by an
Engineer's Death.
ISPZCIAI. TILianAM TO TUS DISPATCH.; .
Akbon, July 10. There were sensational
developments here to-day concerning John
Bissell, the engineer on the Pittsburg and
Western Bnilroad who was killed in the
wreck near this city last Sunday night. A
gentleman named Maxwell arrived to-day
from Milton, Pa., representing Bissell's
wife, son and daughter, both nearly grown,
living in that place. He fonnd that the
body had been taken to Newton Falls, O.,
on Monday evening, by a woman who was
married to Bissell six years ago and has a
5-year-old daughter by him. Mr. Maxwell,
Coroner Sargent and a local undertaker
went to Newton Falls to-day to recover the
body.
It appears that Bissell has led a dual life,
keeping up two domestic establishments,
besides tassin off as a single man in Alle
gheny City, where he had a room. Lively
legal complications are expected, as the
deceased had considerable insurance on his
life, and owned property in Milton.

Bibminoham, Ala., July 10. A large
crowd of people assembled at Mount Hope
Church, Lamar county, Sunday morning,
to witness the marriage of Julius Shearer
and Minnie Moran, two prominent yonng
people of the neighborhood. Just as the
preacher commenced the ceremony Shearer
sank to the floor, and died in a few mo
ments. He had heart disease, and the ex
citement of the occasion brought on a fatal
attack. Among those present in the church
was William Langley, a rejected suitor of
Miss Moran. At the first opportunity
Langley approached the young lady and
told her that Providence had interposed to
prevent her marriage to Shearer.
He insisted that she ought to marry him,
as the Lord was clearly on his side in the
wooing. Miss Moran finally consented to
marry langiey as soon as Shearer was
buried. Shearer's funeral took place this
morning and last night Langley and Miss
Moran were married without Providential
interference.

Younostown, July 10. William E.
Stewart, residing in Allegheny City, this
afternoon commenced suit against the Penn
sylvania Company, claiming $50,000 dam
ages. Stewart was a brakeman on the Fort
Wayne road, and last January, while on a
freight train, it collided with another train
in the Pittsburg yards. Stewart was caught
in the wreck, cutting off his right leg at the
thigh, badly bruising the other leg and re
ceiving internal injuries, which have since
prevented him from earning a livelihood.
Bichard Butler, Sr., a puddler employed
at the mills ol Cartwright, McCurdy & Co.,
began an action this atternoon against the
Pittsburg and Western Railroad, alleging
that while crossing tbe track near the mill,
he was knocked down by a train and per
