The rear guard swung into line again
yesterday and Hanlon'a infantry was com
pletely routed. Twitchell made a change
of base and moTed torn right field into the
diamond just before the action commenced.
He gained a solid position, and though
Hanlon sent his hardest batters against him,
he could not be dislodged and held his
stronghold until the close of the game.
This may be Twitchell's second or eTen
third time on earth as a pitcher, but the re
sult remains the same. He did his work
cleverly and apparently had the batters
imbued with the Idea tbat they were all to get
bases on balls, but thex didn't. When be got
them in the bole be sbot tbe ball over the plate
and they bad to bit It or strike out. Visner
was one of tbe lncky ones. Fire times did be
face tbe pitcher and as many times did be walk
to first on balls.
HOW IT "WAS DONE.
Morris was in tbe box, and be' sent tbe ball
oxer the plate as biff as life. Tbe result was a
great singeing match, fire earned rnns in one
Inning was the call. Tbe local team made very
lew errors tbat conld be located in tbe score,
but their errors of judgment were legion. Then
the Buffalos bad a great amount of luck in
tbelr hitting, always putting tbe ball where tbe
fielder ought to be, but wasn't.
Tbe f eatnre of the game was a great catch of
a low liner by Manager Hanlon. It was a hot
one and no mistake, and in winter time it
would bare sared natural gas for a week.
Knehne made several very pretty assists, but
be also succeeded in allowing several appar
ently easy ones to slide past him.
GOING INTO THE SOUP.
One run was the size of tbe local men's first
attempt. Beckley went around on a base on
balls, a passed ball. Visner's out at borne and
Field's single. The Bisons beld their strength
until tbe second, when they opened shop. Kowe
singled and White struck out. Faatz drove
ftowe borne and stopped at third. He scored
on Twitchell's single. Hoy and Mack followed
with singles and filled the bases. Then Clark
drove them all borne.
No more rnns were made until the fif th.when
a base on balls, a stolen base and Wise's fumble
scored Bobmson. In the sixth tbe Bisons pulled
ont four on three singles a base on balls and
an error by Robinson. Pittsburg took one in
tbe seventh on Robinson's triple and Morris'
single. Buffalo scored ber last in the eighth on
a two-baser and two sacrifices. Attendance,

Cincinnati, August 7. "Hey there, move
lively! We only need 15 more rnns to tie; wake
up; we'll win this game yet." Thus shouted
Calliope Miller when Wilson led off In tbe
ninth with a double. Tbe next two men
cracked out singles, but Sales went out. Gio
son kept up tbe excitement by beating ont one
to Latham. Sunday slammed a beauty to left.
Miller and Berger were then saved by fumbles
of McPhee and Latham. Another single of
Wilson's, a two-bagger by Decker and Osborne's
fifth safe bit,-and things began to look serious.
Nine men bad crossed the rubber when Sales
made his second appearance in the inning. He
struck out, and then Latham rushed forward
and closed with Gibson's fly. This was about
tbe only inning tbat the Pittsourgs really hit
hard. Attendance, 63. Score:

WHY NOT COMPROMISE,
Plltsbnrg Baseball Enthusiasts Would be
Glnd to Bare the Players and National
Leagua Team United nnd That at Once.
The time has come in tbe baseball war (In
Pittsburg at least) when something in the
natnre of a compromise must be effected. The
causes for the meager patronage extended to
baseball games at the present time are too well
understood to need comment. It is the remedy,
and not the cause, which must be looked after.
It may be said by some that effective remedy
cannot be secured unless tbe cause for the
trouble is thoroughly understood. This Is
true. It shall be assumed that The Dispatch
readers are familiar with tbe causes, and, as it
Is our aim to do what we can to secure a com
promise, we feel tbat to agitata tbe causes of
the difficulty might produce ncombative feel
ing among tbe contending parties.
The baseball public of Pittsburg are-not in
terested in any way in the strife between tbe
National League and Plaj era' League, What
is needed to restore patronage to the game Is
good ball playing and tbe unanimous support
of tbe citizens ol Pittsburg. As Jt stands to
day, the fight between tbe factions has disgust
ed many of the most earnestlovers of toe game
of baseball, and this same fight has so divided
the talent tbat good ball playing seems impos
sible in either club. The National League club
is not able to win one game in five, and the
Players' League of late have done very little
better. There are enough skilled players in the
two clnbs, if thev could be combined, to make
a first-class clnb," one tbat Pittsburg could be
proud of at home and away from home, a club
that could bold Its own againstany club in the
United States, and there seems to be no reason
wby these forces could not be united. There is
no principle at stake, and so far as can be seen,
no vital difference of opinion.
Tbe owners of tbe National League clnb
have a large sum of money invested in the
business of baseball, and their object primarily
must be to get some return for their invest
ment. The same is trne of the Players'
League. The officers of tbe National League
club make no secret of the fact that they are
losing money, and while tbe Players' League
have not made such an admission, the best in
formed calculators on the business of baseball
say positively that tbeymust be losing also.
The policy of Mr. O'Neli of transferring games
has practically giTen tbe Players' League non
conflicting dates in Pittsburg. In very few in
stances have tbe two clubs played here on the
same day, and still with tbe field practically
left open to them,' their attendance
has not been commensurate with their
expenses. In some of the other
cities the lack of patronage and
the demoralization of the business might prob
ably be attributed to conflicting dates, but here
tbe Players' League have bad practically noth
ing to contend with. This must mean that tbe
baseball-loving public of Pittsburg are tired of
the wrangling between tbe Players' and tbe
National Leagues, and disgusted with the mis
erable exhibition of ball they are asked to pat
ronize. Is It not then time that the public de
mand a compromise and settlement of these
difficnltiesc An arrangement should be made
at once whereby tbe best talent of tbe two
clnbs here could be united. Good exhibitions
of baseball would soon restore tbe Interest and
patronage.

From the Altoonn Tennla Tourney.
Charles Bucb, Secretary ot the Altoona
Cricket Club, .where a tennis tournament will
be given beginning on tbe 19th, was in the city
yesterday making purchases ot tennis goods.
He says they expect the tourney this year to be
larger than any they have ever given.
Regarding the entry of tbe Philadelphia
players, Mr. Buch said that they were consid
ered eligible to play for tbe double champion
ship emblems. The club's idea in getting en
tries from the eastern part of tbe State, he
says, is that as they are acknowledged to be tbe
best players. It will be a'beneflt to the game In
this section to have them meet the local players,
as the latter will thus secure practice with
good players and learn many points of tbe
game.
The Altoona club havo larger, though not
better, grounds than those of the Pittsburg
club. Their tournament promises to be much
larger, as It is open to ladiesas well as gentle
men, and is also open to the entire State. Ar
rangements are being made for a grand affair.

A Grand Mile aud"a Half Race on the lion

MEWS OF THE TDEP EAST AHD,WEST
mrXCIAL TELXOBAJt TO THE DISFATOS.I
Buffalo, August 7. Nothing sensational
marked the performances of the trotters and
pacers, this afternoon, and tbe card was dis
posed of in shorter order than baa been tbe rule
since the Grand Circuit began, three weeks
ago. The patronage for the second day was
quite up to the average, though the crowd
waits for the appearance of Snnol, to-morrow,
when she will make an effort to eclipse her
mile in 2.10 at & years. Between heats, this
afternoon, tbe young mare was led down
the quarter stretch by a groom, her
peculiar formation with the slope from
hips to withers belbga revelation to
those who saw her for the first time.
Marvin keeps his own counsel, but given a
favorable day, and a track as good as it is now,
Sunol Is pretty sure to show that she is still the
most wonderfnl trotter of the day. Mr. Ham
lin will also let his mare Belle Hamlin start
against her record as an additional attraction,
but she will have to play a minor part during
the appearance of the California star.
LOOKED LIKE A CROOK.
Three races which might have all been ended
in straights is the summary of today's proceed
ings. The palpable dropping of the first heat
in the free-for-all pace being a black spot on
the proceedings. There was not any great
amount at stake, but it was evidently a precon
certed move for Geers to let Hal Pointer jump
off bis feet and tben made no attempt to get
bim to tbe front.
Dawson did not fall bis friends to-day, and
bis record Is now 2:19l, though he had nothing
to spare at the end of the deciding heat. Tbere
was a prospect for a lively struggle for tbe 2:18
class, but Alfred S set all disputes at rest by
beating a good field ot eight right off the reel.
Lady Bullion was thought bis most dangerous
opponent,but Mocking Bird was the one to force
Hickok's speedy gelding along in the last two
heats, tbe Mambrlno Kinr mare's first appear
ance showing tbat she is still good in her class.
Hendryx, another of last year's successful
campaigners, joined the circuit in this race.but
was not at all prominent after the first heat.

Tenny Ontrna by Flrenzl nt Monmouth
Yesterday Afternoon.
Monmouth Park, August 7. Interest to
day was centered in the fourth raee. tbe Free-
bold stakes, 50 each, iwith $1,000 added,
1 miles. Judge Morrow was scratched,
and it was thus reduced to a match race be
tween Tinny and Firenzi. There did not ap
pear to be as much betting "on the race as it
was supposed there would be. Firenzi was tbe
first to appear on tbe track and she was greeted
by loud applause. Tben came Tenny. and be
was not forgotten. They got the flag at the
first attempt and tbe mare started out to make
tbe pace, leading Tenny a length and a half.
She led to tbe half, where Garrison let out a
link on Tenny and he went up to the mare.
Then Murphy let out a link also, and on the
upper turn Firenzi shot to the front and gained
a clearlead of tbree lengths, an advantage she
held turning into the stretch.
' Tben, however, Tennv commenced to run,
and the interest became intense. Slowly but
surely be gained ground, and at tbe last fur
long be was lapped on. the mare. Then Murphy
went to the whip, and tbe finish was only
equaled by that in the Salvator-Tenny match
at Sheepshead Bay. A hnndred yards from
home Tenny was at the mare's saddle girths
and gaining at every stride. Both jockeys were
riding for their lives. In the grand stand hats,
canes and handkerchiefs were thrown in tbe
air, and cheer after cheer went np to encour
age the struggling giants.
Slowly but surely Tenny gained, and 50 yards
from tbe finish bis bead was at Firenzi's shoul
der. Then, If such a thing were possible. Mur
phy went to work with increased vigor, and as
they shot past the post Firenzi had a neck the
best of it. Tbe crowd seemod to go wild with
excitement, and for fully a minute cheered
again and again for tbe game little mare. Tbe
race was a fast one, witbin a quarter of a sec

Chicago, August 7. This afternoon, at
a meeting composed of the representatives
of the principal commercial organizations of
this -country, with reference to the enforce
ment of the so-called uniform iill of lading,
a preamble and resolutions were adopted,
affirming that the practical effect of the
action of the railroads has been to advance
rates 20 to 50 per cent since August 1; that
the document is not a bill of lading, bnt a
contract to which the shippers do not con
sent, and concluding as follows:
Resolved. Tbat our earnest protest against
the unjnst and unreasonable course pursued by
the railroads embraced in the Central Traffic,
Trunk Line, Southern Railroad and Steamship
associations and tbe United Lake Lines be re
corded. Resolved, That we recommend to all shippers
and receivers tbat thev continue to make pro
test against tbe enforcement of this special
contract, and that all charges which may be
exacted as compensation for shipping under
customary conditions ana liability be submitted
in nroner legal tribunals for the nnrnn,. f
testing their justness and reasonableness.
REVOLT AMONG CONVICTS,
LIVELY BATTLE IN THE CHARLESTOWN
STATE PRISON YARD.
Prisoners Rebel Against the Bertlllon Sys
tem nnd Attack Their Guards Gun and
Other Weapons Used and Several Head
Broken Police Arrive After the Row.
Boston, August 7. For some time past
trouble has been brewing at the Charlestown
State Prison, having its origin in the ob-i
jection of the inmates, to submit to the en
forcement of the Bertillon system of meas
urements. The" recent escape of Prisoner
Moore and the unsuccessful attempt to escape
of "Chicken" Walsh, a notorious convict,
has served to keep matters unsettled, but for
several days there has been no decided out
break. This afternoon about 35 of the con
victs in the shoeshop refused to obey tbe
orders of their keepers and, as if by some
pre-arranged signal, all at'once, set np a
terrific yell, and missiles of every descrip
tion were sent flying in all directions, the
windows on the north and west sides being
entirely demolished. '
Tben they made a dash for the yard. A
large express wagon standing in the enclos
ure was pushed toward the wall by a mob of
over 50 infuriated convicts, but in the ex
citement it was capsized. T The crowd rushed
for.tbe various walls. Instantly the sen
tries began firing, at first to frighten the
convicts, bnt later to kill. Other officers of
the institution were soon at hand, and, with
drawn revolvers, massed the gang in groups,
after a fjght, in which clubs were freely used
and many of the convicts' heads were badly
crnshed.
Word was quickly sent to police head
quarters, and in a short time about 200
policemen, detailed from the various stations,
reached the station in patrol wagons. Upon
their entering the yard they were met with
a cry of derision by the convicts, who were
locked in their cells. It is not thought that
any ol tbe prisoners were seriously wounded
by the guards. The guard on the walls has
been trebled, and a large force ot police are
massed in the yards and corridors, while 50
officers guard the streets leading to the
prison.
FIGHTING FOB A B07,
A Toons Fellotv With a Fjrlnne Wanted by
Mother and Uncle.
Chicago, August 7. Mrs. Isura La
Hacbe Bell, at present a guestof the Palmer
House, secured from Judge Baker to-day a
writ of habeas corpus against'Assistant City
Attorney Charles S. Cameron, for the pos
session of her 12-year-old son, Charles E.
Hopkins, Jr. The petitioner states that she
was formerly the wife of Charles E. Hop
kins, a well-to-do resident of New Orleans,
who, five years ago, took the boy from her
and concealed him. Lately she discovered
he was at the residence of his uncle, Mr.
Cameron, in Chicago, and she demanded his
custody, but was refused,' Mr. Cameron
claiming she was not a fit person to have
control of the boy.
Mr. Cameron says that abont a month ago
the boy's father, a prominent Knight of
Pythias, came to Chicago en route to the
Milwaukee convention, and while here was
taken sick and died, leaving the boy in his
uncle's care. Young Hopkins has an estate
of abont 530,000 Jelt by his father, and was
followed by his mother, who, only about a
week ago, was married to her present hus
band, Bell.
GOOD FOB BOTH SIDES.
The Effect of n Big Chinese Display nt tbe
World's Exposition.
Chicago, August 7. Roman Hitchcock,
who is about to visit China in the interest
of the Columbian Exposition andtheTJnited
States Government, in speaking to-day of
bis mission, said it was his intention to urge
upon the Chinese the importance to them
selves as a commercial people, of an attrac
tive exhibition at this time. The most uni
versal interest would center about a well
designed exposition of the civilization, the
daily life, the- arts 'and. industries of the
Chinese themselves, and' nothing would
serve so well to dispel the many erroneous
and unjust impressions which prevail in
this country concerning the people, of
China'.
If the Chinese will but make the effort
now, when the opportunity is so favorable,
Mr. Hitchcock says there will be an end to
such extreme and unjust legislation agaiu'st
them as exemplified in the bill recently
passed by Congress, and for which their
course of reserve and exclusiveness is in
great part responsible.
STOPPED ALL TRAFFIC.
Strike of the Switchmen at Evansville Tie
Up the Trains.
Evansvxlle, August 7. At 3 o'clock
tty's afternoon the switchmen of the Mackey
yards at this point made a demand upon
General Manager Saul for an increase ot
wages on the Chicago scale, and upon his
peremptory refusal they proceeded to tie up
the road by blocking the main track with
uncoupled freicht cars.
In consequence there have been no trains
out since that time. At this writing there
are five regular passenger and two excur
sion trains tied up in the depot with no
nrospects of getting out till to-night. Five
hundred hungry and sleepy excursionists
are lying around the depot in an unpleasant
frame of mind.
President Mackey telegraphed from New
Tork not to accede to the demand and there
the matter rests. Several conferences were
held between the striken and Manager
Saul, but resulted in no agreement

AN INTERVIEW WITH EXPERT HUNTLEY
rSFXCTAlj XKLXOBAK to Tax msr ATcn.i
Aububit, August 7. Contrary to expec
tation the body of William Kemmler, the
murderer, who was executed by electricity
yesterday, was not buried in the prison
cemetery until to-night. Everybody sup
posed tbat what the doctors left of tbe body
would be buried shortly after the autopsy,
or as soon as night fell at the latest, but the
burial did not take place until shortly after
12 o'clock to-night
The cause of tbe delay was said to be a
doubt in the mind ot Warden Durston as to
.what the word "attached" in the law regn-
lating the disposition of the body meant. It
orders that the body, if unclaimed by rela
tives, shall be buried in the cemetery at
tached to the prison. The cemetery is about
a mile away from the prison itself, and is a
part of Fort Lee Cemetery, which is an aris
tocratic God's Acre. As it was not directly
connected with the prison the Warden be
lieved he conld not bury tbe body there.
He had about made up bis mind to bury it
under one of the flagstones in the prison
yard, when it occurred to him tbat the law
distinctly said cemetery, and so the Warden
concluded to have legal advice on the sub
ject AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUB.
This settled the vexed question, and the
grave digger at the cemetery was ordered to
dig a grave and be on hand to bnry the body
at 10 o'clock to-night, but the express wagon
which rattled tbe murderer's bones over the
stones did not reach the graveyard for more
than two hours later. The grave was within
a short distance of one of the main streets.
The body was literally sprinkled with quick
lime, and the earth was thrown upon it by
the light of a lantern.
Tbe only mourners were the grave-diggers,
and they mourned becanse they had to work
so late. Thus ends the story of William
Kemmler, and the people here are rapidly
forgetting all about him.
There were some stories set afloat this
morning to the effect that the execution was
bungled purposely in the interests of an
electric light company, but little attention
was paid to them. Dr. Spitzka, who was
present at the execution of William
Kemmler at Auburn prison yesterday, makes
tbe following statement:
The assertion attribnted to a physician from
Buffalo, tbat the undersigned ordered the cur
rents stopped or in any wav directed the steps
rendered necessary at tbe Kemmler execution,
is utterly unfounded. No one in the execution
chamber knew or could know anything about
the voltage, nor did anyone order tho current
turned on. it was turned on :n accordance
with a previous understanding. -
THE PEOPEB TIME.
Dr. Carlos McDonald and myself (between-
wbom and myself complete harmony existed),
on being asked by tbe Warden what tbe time
should be, agreed to 15 seconds, and actually 17
seconds were allowed to elapse. When Kemm
ler's death appeared doubtfnl I suggested
In a hurried way to the Warden to have it
instantly turned on again, and it- was the
Warden who gave tbe order tben and there.
I went to Auburn solely to make the
examination of tbe brain, and not as an asslt
ant executioner. Tbe dynamo, as judged by
the action of Kemmler's body, acted very ir
regularly. The source of this It will be Inter
esting to ascertain, as well as tbe animus which
dictated tbe gratuitous ana untrue statement
of the person alluded to, if really made by bim.
As an avowed opponent, and as one known to
be sn civ. of tbe electrical method. I wont to
Auburn. Under these circumstances, it were
scarcely consistent for me to volunteer as a
performer of tbat method. Had either my
associate. Dr. Carlos McDonald, or myself been
able to anticipate such misstatements being
made, we certainly should have declined to act
In the medical capacity which we alone held.
My sole suggestion, coincided with by all
present tbe turning on of these currents
was dictated by humanity in view of doubts as
to complete destruction of lite.
Respectfully,
E. c. Spitzka.
COMING BACK AT HIM.
Br. Clayton M. Daniels was shown to
night by The Dispatch correspondent the
savage letter about bim which Dr. Spitzka
contributed to-day. Dr. Daniels said: "I
am surprised at tbe lack of professional
courtesy shown in the letter. I supposed
until now that Dr. Spitzka was a gentleman.
He made an appointment with me at the
hotel in Auburn which he failed to keep."
"Have you had any disagreement with
the other doctors?"
"No, indeed; we are, and have been, en
tirely in accord."
"How do you account for the venom
which Dr. Spitzka puts in his letter?"
"I understand that tbe New York papers
have given him a roasting for his action in
the Kemmler antopsy, and he naturally
(eels mad about it. Though why he should
try to get even by abusing me is more than I
can understand."
"Then you deny Dr. Spitzka's allega
tions?" "I do; and you cannot put it too strong."
"It was simply horrible," said Electrician
C. R. Huntley. "It was one of the most
horrifying sights I ever witnessed or ever
expect to witness. No money would tempt
me to go through the experience again. The
picture of it has been with me ever since,
add I can still hear the groans ot Kemmler
when he was coming to after the first shock.
The saliva bursting shroughhis lips making
a loud sound. I will see that bound figure
and hear those sounds to my dying day."l
DESCBIBINO THE SOUNDS.
"Will you describe those sounds?"
Mr. Huntley breathed deeply, throwing
out bis chest to the inllest extent and
making a sonorous sound like a deep groan.
Then, as he expelled his breath, he blew
through his lips, making such a sound as a
person does in the sound of a convulsion.
One can hear such sounds in the shambles
when a bullock is dying at the hands of the
butcher.
"There." continued .Mr. Huntley, "that
is ns near as I can describe the sounds. I
could see very little of his face. The straps
covered the upper part of it. His beard
covered his chin and tbe only part of tbe
face visible was the month. His respira
tion made the saliva fly all over him.
Every man that looked at Kemmler at tbat
moment and heard his respirations were
horror struck."
"Were the sounds very loud?"
"Quite loud. We were in a room about
25 feet long and 18 feet wide and the sounds
were perfectly audible all over it"
"Was Kemmler alive at the time?"
"Certainly be was. Some of tbe doctors
said the respirations were the result of con
traction of the diaphagm or something else.
Others said he was alive. But to me it was
an absolute surety that the man was alive."
"And in agony?"
A DIFFICULT QUESTION.
"That I conld not tell. The doctors agree
that he had no consciousness of pain, audi
am quite willing to let the doctors settle it

I don't believe anybody not there can thor
oughly appreciate tbe horror that came over
us. I can never shake it off. Kemmler
was the coolest and 'most collected man in
the room. He wasthe admiration of us all.
He did not act like a martyr, either. His
air was that of a man resigned to his fate.
There was nothing particularly revolting in
these preparations, nor was the result of the
first shock revolting, while the current held
the body of Kemmler in rigor. There was
one strong convnlsion at first, and that was
all. The promoters of electric execution
were elated. But the horror came later
when Kemmler showed signs ot life."
"How much voltage was he given in the
first shock?"
"I don't know, and I presume we will
never know. I do know that in the next
shock he was given the full strength of the
machine. Two convicts were made to hold
tbe belt on tbe machine. The current was
so strong and at such short distance that it
had a tendency to throw the belt off. An
other horrible thing came when Kemmler's
flesh began to scorch; the odor filled the
room.
JUST A SUPPOSITION.
"Suppose Kemmler had been overpowered
with terror of what was going to happen?
Suppose he had resisted, fought, and had
finally been crushed down into the chair?
That would have added tenfold to the hor
ror of the execution. I don't think such an
electric execution will ever happen again."
District Attorney Quimby, who did not
see the execution, spoke with a shudder of
horror of the preliminaries which he wit
nessed. "I was in the death chamber be
fore the killing," said he this morning,
'but I got ont, and everything became dark
tome. I suppose I fainted. It was horri
ble. I familiarized myself with all the
paraphernalia of death, and had myself
strapped in the chair and all tbat. It is
my belief if this method of punishment is
adhered to it will be necessary to change
the method of applying the current at the
spine. As I sat in tbe chair I felt that I
could by muscular contraction draw my
body away from the electrode at the base of
tbe spine. If that is so, when Kemmler's
body contracted it interfered with the per
iect transmission of the current Then,
again, the cbair is not secured to the floor.
Every reliance is placed on the docility of
the creature to be operated on. Suppose a
big burly murderer was brought iu and un
dertook to
PHTSICAIiLT PBOTEST
against being killed, he could play havoc
with the apparatus and in short order kick
it all to pieces. If, on the other band, he
was overpowered by force of numbers and
still .struggling, was placed in the chair
what a scene would be witnessed while they
were buckling around bim the complicated
harness. I don't think it safe to trust too
much to the patience of the victim. Iu
hanging men if they seem likely to make a
scene, they strap tbem in their cells and
carry them to the drop. They could not
bring the electrocution chair, with all its
wires and attachments, into a condemned
man's cell. I think there will be other
deaths by electricity as a capital punish
ment unless the Governor intervenes. I
think it likely tbe next Legislature will ap
point a committee to inquire into the man
ner of Kemmler's death."
Sheriff Jenkins said to-day: "The smell
of that man's burning flesh hannts me
still. It was not a nice scene to assist at I
think the current should have been not
sirong enoogh to kill one man but ten, so
as to make death absolutely beyond per-
adventure. When the first current was ap
plied a shudder ran over Kemmler's body
and then he was still! There was absolute
silence in the room. Then Dr. South
wick said: 'It's a grand success.' Tne
current had been fnrned off and
Dr. Spitzka had pronounced Kemm
ler dead. 'Don't be sure it's such s
grand success said one of tbe witnesses to
Dr. Soutiiwick. 'Look at that' It was
apparent to all that Kemmler was reviving
and coming to life again. He gasped and
his lungs began to breathe, and everybody
waited in horrid expectancy of a cry or
some vocal manifestation. The snspense
was frightful, for while they were getting
the current going again it seemed evident to
ail that Kemmler was more and more re
viving. Then tbey gave him a tremendous
shock that burned him, andjhey kept it up
till -we all. were sick." j

MILITIA NOW GUARDING THE JUDGE
rSPXCTAZ. TXX.EORAM TO TBX DMrATClL
Pineville, Ky., August 7. J. A.
Martin has arrived irom Hazard, Perry
county, where Jndge Lilly is holding tha
first court in session in two years, guarded
by three companies of militia. Martin says
700 people, 400 of whom are armed outlaws,
are in and about the town. There is great
uneasiness nnd no one need be surprised if a
massacre occurs. Court is being beld in a
tent There is great excitement over the
Judge's charge to the grand jury. In hit
charge he said among other things:
"Mr. Foreman of tbe grand jury, and gentle
men and the people of Perry county: A3 you
here witness I am again here to hold court. I
have missed several terms of my court in your
county, and for reasons best known to myself
I was satisfied tbat a court could not be held,
and, having had my life threatened, had every
reason to believe
I WOULD BE ASSASSINATED
If 1 came to Perry. Now.it all lies with you.
Do you want a court that you may bring of
fenders to justice? I know the reputation of
Perry too well, and when the people learn that
a man's life is more valuable than that of a
horse men will be punished more severely for
murder than for horse stealing.
People seemed to be amazed at tbe Judge's
stern remarks, for he had never before
talked so plainly. Several tough-looking
characters walked hurriedly out of the tent
as if anxious to inform some faction that
Judge Lilly was getting too severe. Con
tinuing, Judge Lilly said:
W1T. gentlemen, this county is over 70 year
old. and but one man in all that time has been
convicted of mnrder. and Tie sentenced to a
small term of years in the penitentiary, though
SCO men have been murdered in the county.
This is appalling and I again ask you, do yon
want justice? The records show you these
things. I have called this extra term of court
to give you
ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY
to show tbat you want it Now, do your duty.
I will be trank to say that if this court amounts
to nothing thera will be no use of ever again
trying to hold coart in Perry. My life is in
danger.
The sellers of rum and "moonshine" ars
hiding in the mountains almost within a
stone's throw of where court is being held.
Judge Lilly will order Captain dither to
seize all whisky in Hazard and destroy it
A building used by a saloon keeperwas taken
charge of to-day by the troops to be used for
storing away goods belonging to the com
missary department. A citizen walked into
the door shortly after it had been broken
open, and made some remarks abont the'
brandy left there by the fleeing saloonist
Lieutenant Walcutt ordered him bnstled
outat the point of the bayonet, which was
done.
The social situation in Perry among men.
is not exaggerated. Many honest citizens
are afraid to make a move toward indicting
outlaws for iear of consequence after tha
troops are away.
ONLY ONE PUNISHED.
Of the great number of people killed
within the past few years not one has ever
been punished. Few, if any, have ever
been arrested. Social lines have been so
drawn through political means and other
wise that outlawry reigns unmanageable. '
There is not a church in Perry county nor
a school house. Be v. J. J. Dickey, of,
Jackson, was here when Joe Eversoie was
killed and offered a prayer at the grave
when he was buried.
This action of Rev. Mr. Dicker incensed
another faction and his life was threatened.
He has never been in Perry since. Women
and children have not onlv been threatened'
but shot at,--and live in daily dread of their1
lives. Jndge William Hurst has been em
ployedby Mrs. Everson to assist in bring
ing to justice the murderers of her husband.
He was shot wnile in bed at night with an
explosive ball? but fortunately for bim tho
ball had spent its force before it reached hii
body.
WARNED BY A LETTER.
The next day he received a letter from
Fulton French, tbe leader of tbe French
faction, saying: "You get, and that mighty
quick." Captain Hurst was a brave soldier
in the civil war and lost an eye at Mission
Eidge, and he knew what French's warning
meant, and he left Hazard at once.
Shots are fired into the town every night,
and at any moment 400 men, abont equally
divided into factions, are liable to begin a
battle, in which Judge Lilly is sure to be
killed. The outlaws, armed with Win
chesters, are building earthworks and pre
paring for a siege, if necessary.
