William Kemniler, the first criminal to
be executed by electricity, has bat a short
time to live. The arrangements for the ex
ecution in Auburn prison are already com
pleted. The proceedings of his last day.
rrCIAI.TEl.rCKJLM TC THE DISPATCH.'
Atjbcks-, K. Y., April 19. Notwith
standing Murderer Kemtiiler's extravagant
promises of reformation in case Governor
Hill should pardon him, there is no hope
lor him. The case has made the tour of the
courts of the State, and he must die br
electricity some day in the week beginning
April 28. The particular day trill be fixed
by the agent and warden of Auburn prison,
Bon. Charles F. Durston.
Kemmler was sentenced by Judge Henry
A. Childs at Buffalo on May 14 last, and
since tlien eer thins possible has been done
to save him. The electrical apparatus at
the prison is all ready for the execution. It
was purchased and set up in the prison un
der the direction of Harold P. Brown, of
2few York, an electrical expert employed
by the State to do this work. The apparatus
was tested several months ago w hen a horse
and a call were put to death with it. In
each case death was instantaneous and the
experts who made the test are confident
that Kemmler will be killed neatly and
that he mil suffer very little. The test was
made under the direction of Dr. Carlos F.
SlacDoaald, President ol the State Lunacy
CoMniission.
THE INSTRUMENTS OF DEATH.
The principal part ot the apparatus, the
machines for the generation of the current,
were secured a cood while ago, and have
been laid away waiting for the time to come
to use them. ihev are ordinary esting
bousedtnamos for the generation of alter
nating currents. On whatever morning
shall be decided uuon Kemmler will be
notified, and whatever opportunity he de
sires lor religious consolation and farewell
words will be given him. These over, just
belore the hour fixed upon for the execution
the officers will enter his cell, and the death
warrant will be read. His shoes will then
be removed, and a pair resembling regular
army brogans will be substituted. In the
ole nf these there will have been inserted
a nict&l plate covering the whole sole, and
connected with wires pissing out through
the heels. "While one officer is making this
change of shoes, another will lasten
the prisoner s bands together in front, and
will place around his body, just beneath the
armpits, a stout leather strap, with a buckle
Jastening it in front, and snap hooks pro
jecting Iroin each side ac the back. An
other officer will place upon the back of the
prisoner's head a peculiar close-fitting cap,
apparently of black rubber, made around a
email metal piece in the center. Inside ol
it, in the center, about the metal piece, will
be a spiral arrangement of copper wire,
about 5 inches in diameter, and made to nt
down over the part ot the head that it will
cover. The wires, just before the cap is
placed on the prisoner's head, will be cov
ered with a sponge, saturated with salt
water.
"While these arrangements are being put
on, the prisoner will be sitting on a chair in
his cell. The chair, not differing apparently
irom an ordinary one, but which has been
made especially for the purpose, will be
connected with wires leading to another
room, and the prisoner, sitting in the chair,
will, without knowing it, bet subjected to a
current of electricity too light to be felt,
but heavy enough to give an expert elec
trician in the other room an exact measure
ment, by the use of what is known as the
"Whetstone Bridge," o'f the electrical re
sistance of the man. This will take only an
instant, and will be done before tne officers
have the prisoner ready to leave the cell.
From the cell the procession will be much
as now to the execution room, where the
deputies and other persons permitted bv law
to witness the execution will be waiting.
Near the center of the room, raised upon a
small platform about eight inches above the
floor, will be a chair, made somewhat like a
large reclining chair. The long, straight
frame that forms the slanting back will be
of hardwood pieces, three inches square, and
will be long enough so that if a seven-foot
man should lie in the chair, his head would
rest upon the back. The seat and arms will
be of plain wood-and without any peculiar
ities The upper part of the back frame on
each side will be fitted with a slot, in which
will slide back and forth a small arrange
ment with a ring at the top and a thumb
screw beneath. r
TO BE PASTENED TIGHTLY.
The rings are to receive the hooks in the
back of the belt about the man's body, and
the screws are to fasten the arrangement in
place at the spot where the rings will meet
the hooks, which will vary according to the
height ot the prisoner. In front ot the
chair will be a foot rest, something like
those in a barber's shop, except; that the top
portion, instead of being fixed, will be
balanced upon a pivot to permit it to dip front
or back, so that the feet will lie firmly upon
it. Tnis whole foot rest will be arranged to
slide backward and forward, and to be se
cured with a screw at the point where the
prisoner's teet will rest upon it.
Prom the ceiling over the back of the
chair and over the foot rest will dangle two
flexible wires, like those from which small
electric lights swing. On the wall at one
side will be a small round dial attached to a
brass instrument. A hand upon the dial
will indicate the intensity of the current
that will uasj over the wires. Near it on
the wall will be a small double pole scitch,
a brass instrument similar to the familiar
switches used to shut off or let on the cur
rent wherever electricity is used, but de
signed especially to show at a glance whether
the current is off or on, in order to prevent
accidents which carelessness in handling the
apparatus might bring about. This will be
all of the apparatus apparent in the room.
THE LAST MOMENTS.
The prisoner, immediately upon entering
the room, will be led to the chair, and in a
moment will be pushed back into it, the
hooks in the belt about his body slipped
into the rings in the chair and there fast
ened in place by the turn of the screws. At
the same moment his feet will be raised and
the foot-rest slipped under tbem and fast
ened by a turn of the screw, and a strap on
top of the rest will be buckled tightly over
his ankles. In another moment tne two
dangling wires will be fastened, one to the
metal at the center of the back of the cap
and the other to the metal connection on the
heel of each shoe. A black cloth will be
pulled over the face of the prisoner, the offi
cers will stand well back from the chair, and
at a signal tne executioner at the switch will
turn on the current, the volume of which
has pieviously been adjusted to suit the re
sistance of the prisoner, as shown by the
test in the cell.
Only the experience of "William Kemmler
can certtinly tell what will happen then,
but if the confidence of those in charge, or
the efficiency of the apparatus is well
founded, at the instant that the switch is
touched there will be a little stiffening of
the prisoner's bodv, a little quivering of the
limbs, life will flutter for a bare instant,
like the needle that will be dancing upon
the dial on the wall, and then it will all be
over. There wilt beno pain7no convulsion,
scarcely a movement' to "mark the passage
from life to death, but the victim will be
hopelessly and unmistakably dead. .
THE PEISONEE AND SIS CRIME.
Kemmler is a rough, stunid and ignorant
fellow, and he brought all of his trouble
upon himself by the excessive use of
whisky. During his trial several witnesses
testified that he frequently absorbed as much
as a quart of whisky in half an hour. He
chopped to pieces Tillie Zeicler, who, ac
cording to the balk of 'the testimony was
not all she should have been. Kemmler has
been taught to read and write in prison and
prison officials think he has undergone a
change of heart.
THE STUD OP LAKGDAGE.
Prof. Rlildls Sets the Tenchera Academy In
Motion School Mntlrra.
At the meeting of the Teachers' Academy
yesterday afternoon Miss R. L. Torrence, of the
Grant school; Carrie Adams, Allen: Nannie
Pollock. Peebles, and Prof. Spcer, High School,
were initiated. After the transaction of routine
business. Prof. U. A. Riddle, of the Mlnersville
school, stirred up the interest of the members
by reading a Tery aDle paper on "Resolved,
that the present method of examining pupils
for High School in grammar, by false syntax,
Is not a good one, and that a change is neces
sary." The paper tbronghout contained much phi
losopical arguments, with which the majority
ot the members were in sympathy. In the
course of his remarks he statedthatin his
opinion language is tho most Important of all
the studies, for one uses it everywhere, and it
is learned not by rules hut by imitation, while
teaching by -false syntax" has a pernicious ef
fect. TaLe instead the study of some piece of
literature with ennobling thoughts.f or the writ
ings of good authors are the standard ot lan
guage, and language is therefore to be learned
by studying the best literature.
A motion made by Professor Kennedy
that the Academy Indorse the paper, was car
ried. Furthermoi e it was agreed that the ques
tion be referred back to a meeting of the
principals' congress, which ten years ago asked
the High School Committee to prepare the
present course of stud.

First limine In the HafnaEeUnlnichenbelm
Libel Salt How a Preacher Came to
Sljn b Cemonitranee A Lively Lltilo
Scene for Awhile.
A hearing in the libel suit of Joseph
Hufnagel, of Forty-sixth and Bntler streets,
against "William Muschenheim, a cigar
manufacturer, whose place of business ad
joins that of the plaintiff, was held yesterday
afternoon before Alderman JIcMasters.
Hufnagel was an applicant for a retail
license, and was refused. The plaintiff,' in
his accusation against Muschenheim, alleges
that the refusal was based on a remonstrance
gotten up, circulated for signatures, and
then presented to the Court by or through
Muschenheim. The remonstrance specified
several reasons why Hufnagel should not be
granted a license. The signers set forth
that he was personally unfit; that he hid
violated the law; that his saloon was the
scene of frequent disturbances that made it
an unpleasant place for ladies and children
to pass.
At the hearing, Hufnagel was represented
by Colonel "W. D. Moore, while Ex-District
Attorney Porter was Muschenheim's coun
sel. Several of the signers of the re
monstrance were called to identify their
signatures and relate how they came to sign
the paper, where and when. Mr. Porter
wanted the three first witnesses to answer
his question as to whether or not the charges
specified against the plaintiff were true.
His effort brought out a violent objection
from Colonel Moore. The Alderman de
cided that the question was not examination
and the name of Rev. J. D. Sands was
called. The witness almost caused Colonel
Moore to explode by his very first answer,
which was inaudible to all in the office save
the attorney. Mr. Sands was advised not to
be "smart" and to answer the question,
"How did you come to sign this remon
strance?" Mr. Sands told Colonel Moore
that if he wanted an explicit answer he
must put an explicit question. "If you
mean to ask what influenced me to sign the
remonstrance," said the clergyman, after
two or three minutes' wrangle over the
form of the question, "I will answer that I
did so because J. knew some ol tne cnarges
made in it to be true."
Mr. Sands was a very unsatisfactory wit
ness to Colonel Moore, but he proceeded to
ask? "Did Mr. Muschenheim tell voa that
he had a remonstrance against Mr.
Hufnagel?"
"I told Mr. Muschenheim that if he had a
remonstrance against Mr. Hufnagel, and
would bring it to me, I would sign it."
"Did he bring it to your house?"
"No, sir; he brought it to my study."
"Your study? "Well, that's a part of your
house, is it not?"
"No, sir; it is in the church."
"You are a preacher?"
"Yes, sir."
"Umphl I am sorry for (hat," said the
ex-preacher, looking away from Mr. Sands.
Several witnesses were called by the de
fense to tell what they knew concerning the
truth of the charges in the remonstrance,
after which further hearing was waived. F.
G. Kellerman became bondsman for
Muschenheim lor his appearance at court.
PATRIOTIC TO THE BACKBONE.
Citizen! of Mucklerat In Search of Ibo De
famers of Time Suburb.
The honest citizens of Mucklerat are still
in active search of the parties who attempted
to defame that suburb of Pittsburg by
causing to be printed inflammatory circulars
calling 'for 1,000 armed men to erect the
American flag over Mucklerat schoolhouse.
It will be remembered that the stories of
hostility to. the flag-raising were based
in most part upon the circulars,
which, although unsigned and issued
withoutany authority, purported to origi
nate in the ranks of the O. TT. A. M. The
investigation as to the identity of the parties
has come to a stop because the citizens have
displayed so much feeling that the men who
stirred up the demonstration deem it pru
dent to conceal their identity at present;
Mucklerat has been thoroughly vindi
cated by the fact that the flag was'not only
raised peaceably, but was received with
every demonstration of .pleasure, and the
Citizens' Committeejdesires the publio to
know that their community is incapable of
hostility to American ideas or symbols, and
is patriotic to the backbone.
