THB PITTSBURG DISPATCH. THURSDAY, MAT 19, 1893. 10 FREE SILVER NOT IN IT. Once More It Is Knocked Out in the flonse of Its Best Friends.- ANOTHER- DECISION HELD OVER. The Senate at Last Passes the Kaval Appro priation BilL MORE ABOUT THAT ALLEGED SURPLUS Washington, May 18. The silver question was the feature of interest in the House to-day, and, much to the disappoint ment of the silrerites, the Speaker sus tained the point of order raised against 3Ir. Bartine's tree coinage amendment to the sundry civil bill, and the House clinched the matter bv upholding the Chairman's decision. Later on Mr. Bland offered an amendment for the coinage of all silver bullion purchased and now in the Treasury into standard silver dollars. Points of order were raited against the amendment, and the Speaker reserved his decision, which will be awaited with interest and impa tience by the free coinage men 'and their opponents alike. After the transaction of routine business the Houe went into committee of the whole, Mr. Lester, of Georgia, in the chair, on the sundry civil bill Mr. Smith, ot Arizona, moved to increase from $100, 000 to $400,000 the appropriation tor sur veying the public lauds. After some de bate a compromise was arrived at and the appropriation fixed at 5200,000. The Chairman then proceeded to rass upon the point of ordfr raised by Mr. Tracev, of Xeiv York, against the clause providing for the cleaning and reissue of minor coins. The Chair ruled that there was existing law for the paragraph, and overruled the point of order. The second part of the same paragraph, providing for the recoinage of uncurrent minor coins, he ruled to be out of order, being unable to find any law authorizing such recoinaee. The Chair also overruled the point of order raised against the clause for the recoinage of abraded minor coins. B and acd IS.ir(lne Rated Oa. The Chair then ruled on the Bartine free coinage amendment. It was plain to him that it was a chame of existing law, and therefore not in order. He sustained the point of order. Mr. Bartine appealed from the decision of the Chair. Mr. Birtine's appeal was lost 137 to 25. Mr. Bland voted with Mr. Bartine. Mr. Bland then offered an amendment providing tor the coinage of all silver bullion purchased and now in the Treasury into standard silver dollars, the cost to be paid out of the seigniorage arising from the coinage of the bullion, the remainder of the seignioraee to be covered into the Treasury as available money. Mr. Dinzley, of Maine, and later Mr. Tracev, of Xew York, raised points of order asainst the amendment. Mr. Dinijley, in support of his point of order, said that the new legislation proposed to impose ou the silver pront luna in the Treasury a new and distinct charse, liz., the cost ofTthe coinage of the standard silver dollar. So that, in stead of reducing the amounts the bill now covered it increased them to that amount. The Chair reserved his decision until to morrow. Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, moved to strike out (under the head of geolocical sur7ey) the appropriation for paleontologic re searches. Agreed to. Mr. Simpson, of Kansas, offered an amendment providing that J60,000 of ihe appropriation for topographic surveys be expended in Xorth and South Dakota, Ne braska. Kansas and Oklahoma, for the pur pose of the development of the water sup ply of those States. Subsequently, after debate, he modified his amendment by strik ing out the words "for the purpose of de veloping the water supply of those States," and as n.odified the amendment was agreed to. Pending further action, the committee rose and the House adjourned. The Senate Passes Annth-r BUI. President pro tern Manderson presided to-day in the Senate. Mr. Pettigrew, Chairman of the Quadro-Centennial Com mittee, risins to a personal explanation, sent to the clerk's desk and had read a AVashiniton dispatch to the Chicago JTmct of April 20. charging that he wanted a $200, 000 public building at Deadwood, S. Dak., and had told Representative Xewberrv, of Illinois, in the House, that if he (Mr. New berry) did not report that bill favorably in the House he (Mr. Pettigrew) would not re port the "World's Fair hill in the Senate. The statement, Mr. Pettigrew said, was un true in every part; and in proof of its false hood he had" read a letter from Mr. New berry confirming his statements. The consideration of the naval appropria tion bill was resumed, and Mr. Cockrell continued his argument against the amend ment reported bv the Senate Committee on Appropriations for the construction of one seasoing coast-line battleship, one harbor delense double-turret ship of the monitor type; four light-draft gunboats, and six tor pedo boats. Referring to Mr. Allison's as sertion that there would be a surplus of $25,000,000 in the Treasury on the first of July next, he said if there were such a sur plus, or any surplus, it would be because the adjustment and payment of larce items would bexdelavcd and postponed in the Treasury Department He opposed the pending amendment as he also opposed the increase provided for in the House bill.

"WASHlsrGTON.May 18. -The Senate Com mittee to-day applied the knife to the river and harbor appropriation bill. The com mittee has decided that the total of the bill as reported to the Senate 521,346,975 was too large, and, realizing the endless trouble aud dissatisfaction that would follow any ef fort to discriminate between the various contracts and continuing appropriation projects which it was determined should bear the brunt of the reduction, adopted the course of reducing the appropriations of all of them 25 per cent. The result was the re duction of the total appropriation made by the bill by 52,088,750, bringing that total down to 520,28) ,3C8, which is nearly 51,000, 000 less than the appropriaiion made by the bill as it came from the House.

DEATH WITHOUT PAIN At last Snrely Attained in the Electric Chair at an Eiecntion. JOSEPH TICE, A WIFE HUBDERER, Dies in One ilinute and Three Seconds After the Current Bits Him. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT JSrlCCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH. 5 Auburn. N. Y., May 18. Joseph I Tice died in the death chair this morning bravely and without bravado. He was the second man to be executed by electricity in Auburn and the ninth in the State. He died instantly and without pain. The exe cution, from beginning to end, lasted 2 minutes, and the quickest rope execution in this State is said to have been 26 min utes. At midnight Guard McKaughton awoke the prisoner, and he arose and dressed. He was shaved, and then lay down in his clothes. At 5 o'clock Chaplain Yates and Rev. Mr. Penny visited the prisoner. To Mr. Penny he said: "My back pains me, but soon I shall know no pain." At 6:30 o'clock the witnesses filed to their places in the execution room. There was a largely increased voltage over theKemmler execution, and some of the straps to be affiled to the face had been changed. Experts Among the "Wilncsses. Among those who stood about the chair were: Electrician Davis, of New York; Drs McCort and Remington, of Rochester; Under-Sheriff Bailey, of Monroe county; Dr. Erving, of Sing Sing; "Warden Brown, of Sing Sing; Dr. Sawyer, of Auburn; Dr. Daniels, of Buffalo; Dr. Smith, of Auburn; Rev. F. D. Penny, Chaplain Yates, of Auburn; Dr. Arthur G. Root, of Albany; Dr. J. P. Ruff, of Clyde; Dr. G. G Fell, of Buffalo; Dr. C. O. Banker, of Auburn, and Dr. H. D. Peck, of Auburn. Electrician Davis pressed the signal but ton five times and the row of 16 electric lights in the closet glowed brightly. He pressed it twice main for more current, and then quickly switched it into the row ot test lamps on the chair. The response was in stantaneous and satisfactory. Warden Durston then stepped to the door of the corridor to "ice's cell and said: "All right; brine him in."" The guards said, "Come, Joseph," and Chaplain Yates assisted Tice to rise. His face was pale.and every bit of color had left his lips. He took his cane, and without as sistance walked into the execution chamber. He kept his eyes fixed in front of him, and did not shrink as the warden said: "Sit down, Tice." Shocked by 1,700 Volts. Neither chaplain nor prisoner said a word. The guards nastily adjusted the straps. The head electrode was a metal cap filled with sponges and bringing the current to both temples. The other electrode was af fixed to the calf of the left leg. It was ex actly 8:39 o'clock, one minute alter the prisoner had seated himself, that Dr. Daniels raised his hand. "Warden Brown, of Sing Sing, had turned on the salt water to the electrode sponges. Electrician Davis moved the switch and the body straight ened up against the straps as 1,720 volts were driven through it. For 15 seconds Dr. Daniels kept his hand raised, then he dropped it and the body sank back almost imperceptibly. For three seconds the current remained off, and dur ing that time there was not a quiver of the lips nor a move of the fingers. The doctor signaled again, and after 15 seconds it was switched off for five seconds. Again the body collapsed, but there was no sound or emission from the mouth. After ten seconds more of contact there was an interval of five seconds, and then ten more of contact. "Drs. Erving and Banker will examine the pulse," said the warden. The victim had been in the chair one minute and three seconds. They pro nounced the man dead. The only visible effect of the current had been a slight steaming from the evaporation in the leg electrode. Just before turning on the current Tice had closed his left hand. As the current .struck him lie was closing the right. The movement stopped instantly and the fingere remained in a natural position. The head did not move, and there'was no contraction of the lips or of the legs. The face was found to be exactly the same in appearancs as w lien the old man had sat down. The lips were not drawn, the eyes were closed naturally, and except for a slight blister on the right side, caused by the hot salt water, the face was that of the living. 3 be Most snecessful Electrocution. Dr. Daniels, of Buffalo, said that he used the short alternating currents, and made brief intervals between the shocks, so as to preclude any possibility of returning ani mation. "Warden Brown, of Singling, said: "It was the most successful execution yet held." After the autopsy the body was put in a plain pine coffin and carried to the prison cemetery, where it was buried in a quicklime grave, covered with an American flag, as he had requested. Almost the lait words of the man were to thank "Warden and Mrs. Durston for their kindness to him. Tice was 63 years old, and was a veteran of the War of the Rebellion. Four years ago he began drinking because of his second wife's alleged intemperate habits. On July 11, 1891, he met her in Rochester and demanded that she should live with him. She refused, and he drew a knife and stabbed her to death. His defense was irresponsibility through intoxication. The autopsy was performed by Dr.Daniels and Dr. Banker. There was nothing to in dicate the cause of death; The vital organs were in a normal condition, and there was absolutely no indication that nearly 1,800 volts of electricity had passed through the body. Specimens ot blood and tissue were taken by Dr. Daniels for microscopic study. Might Dave Been More Serious, An accident happened yesterday about 1:15 o'clock to the Brownsville accommoda tion on the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charles ton Railroad at Fourth street, Southside. At that point a flying switch is made to place the engine in front of the train. It failed to get'out of the road in time for the train to pass and the engine and combina tion car collided. Both were thrown from the rails and damaged. The car was badly broken. No one was injured, but the pas sengers were badly shaken up. The track was blockaded for some time. Cruelty to a Hor.se. John Moore, known as "Happy Jack," of Fox alley, Southside, was arrested yester day ou the charge of cruelty and abandon ing an animal. Agent McDonald, of the Anti-Cruelty Society, made the charge. Moore, it is "alleged, owned a horse which was struck by an electric car. It was maimed for life. Moore tied it jn front of a Twcntv-secnd street blacksmith shop and left it. It was shot by Officer Brown. Went Insane From Desertion. Suzanna Shultz, 21 years old, was sent to the Poor Farm yesterday by the Department of Charities. She has been in this country since last February and lived with her brother in Johnstown. Here she met and engaged herself to a man much older than herself, who deserted her on their wedding day. His desertion made her despondent and she finally became insane. The Output Tripled.

A NIGHT OP HORROR. Four Women Murdered in a Single Night In a Texas Town Two or Them Ladies and the Others From Far Different "Walks or life. Denisoit, Tex, May 18. Special Last night was a night of horror in Deni son. Nothing like it has ever been known in the history of this city or in any city in Texas. Between the hours of 11 P. M. acd 3:30 this morning an unknown assassin brutally and premeditatsdly shot and killed' four women, two of them leading ladies of this city and two members of disorderly houses. The first victim was Mrs. Haynes, the wife of Dr. Henry F. Haynes, one of Den ison's most respected citizens, and a gen tleman "prominent in business and social life. Mr. Haynes, a young and very at tractive woman, loved by all Who knew her, was assassinated while she was alone in her home, or else was forcibly taken from the same and put to death by her captor outside atd near the house. Some five hours later, in the "very heart of the city, a beautiful lady, Miss Teen Hawlev, was killed by some unknown per son. Miss Hawiey was killed almost with out a word of warning in the privacy of her room in her mother's cottage home. Between the hours when these foul assas sinations of two ladies occurred there was enacted in another and far different quarter of the city a double tragedy. Two women were quickly brought face to face with death and laid low" by the bullets of the assassin. The last were inmates of the disorderly houses of Madames Lester and Rivers. The assassin fired the shot that killed Mrs. Haynes during the absence ot her husband at the Elks' lodge. "When his victim was dead the murderer took her gold watch aud chain, also a valuable diamond ring and eardrops. After this murder he proceeded to the residence of Mrs. Hawiey, where he shot and killed her daughter, Miss Floren tine. The assassin then directed his steps to the house of Madame Rivers, where he fired from the front porch, killing Maud Kramer. Alter this he crossed to the next street, where he mortally wounded Rose Stewart, who was about to retire. The fatal shot was fired from the sidewalk, the ball enter ing the side near the right arm. The four foul murders have created a tremendous sensation. Business is at a standstill. Several hundred armed men are in pursuit of the murderer. The Sheriff and county officials have all arrived. Bloodhounds have been brought into requi sition, bnt without success. Arrests have been made, but it is believed that the mur derer is still at large. WILL IMPSOVE THELB, WORKS.
