After breakfasting with Queen Victoria the emperor drove to the park, where he critically watched the musical Tide of the Life Guards, a most skillful eques- train performance. ‘The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Duke of Anhalt-Dessau, the Duke of Con- naught and Prince Henry of Dattenberg, all in brilliant uniforms, and the Princess of Wales, Princess Beatrice, the Princes Victoria of Wales and the Duchess of Fife, smartly attired in morning dress, joined the young emperor in watching the Life Guatde’ magnificent ride.

The continuous and arduous work | that the chief magistrate put in with | the Postmaster General over the provisions | of the subsidy bill were concluded last night | { and this morning when he stepped out on the | porch he felt free to enjoy the life-giving wind that was blowing the curtains of the cottage into all sorts of fantastic shapes. A fishing and crabbing trip in the thorough- fare back of Cape Muy was decided upon, and WATER PIPES BURST. Owing to the old-fashioned slow manner in which news is circulated here and from the fact that the newspaper representatives have few facilities for news gathering placed at their disposal at Windsor, it did not become generally known until this morning that there was a most strange and exciting scene at the royal ban- quet given at Windsor castle Inst night in honor of the queen's imperial grandson. It appears that a large water pipe burst in the banquet hall while the queen was entertaining the em- peror and # party of most distinguished pocsts, 8 majority of whom were mem: | immediately after breakfast the President and | Der of the royal = and imperial | Mrs. Harrison, Attorney General Miller, Mra. | families. feed Bool was that coed = Dimmick, Lieut. and Mrs. Parker and ’ Baby | W8# 4lmost flooded with water.

Narrative of One Who Saw the Quadruple, Execution, New Yonx, July 7.—One of the witnesses of the electrocution, whose name for obvious reasons cannot be printed, gave the following account of the occurrences in the death chamber: When the witnesses had = gathered sin the chamber some of them appeared very nervous and showed signs of the great strain on their sensi- bilities, ‘The sliding door, whieh concealed the switch board on the outside of the execu: tioner’s closet, was closed, and gathered about Drs.

Five bells, the signal to CY ready, wi followed by one toll, which signifies: on the current.” Immediately the incandescent Jampe switchboard gave out their white nr scientists turned the current into the velt- meter, then into the amperemeter, and when fully satisfied with its indicated power they in- formed the warden. Warden Brown, Deputy Warden Connaughton and two keeper deputies then entered the death cell building to bring forth the trembling wretch who was first to pay the penalty of his crime. Fathers Creeden and Lynch were engaged with Slocum when Warden Brown and his deputies entered. ‘sLOcum FIneT. Slocum had been selected as first victim, and as soon asthe good priests had finished their supplications he said he was ready and stepped of his cell withalacrity. The walk to death jan. Following the warden and his deputy came Slocum between the two priests, who held aloft in front of him a crucitix, at which he steadfastly gazed. The two keeper deputies brought up the rear of the fateful procession. Slowly the heavy doors swung back and with solemn tread and mien the little procession walked into the room, where the silence of death prevailed. ‘They had but a few steps to take. The chair was directly in their front. As the the leajers [scion the chair stood out in all its awfulness fore the man about to sit in it aud die. Slocum halted at the warden's command, just on the edge of the rubber mat which was to protect those who were watching his life go out. on the t and ‘The doomed man’s gaze was riveted on the chair.

The scientists stood in front of the switch board watching the current, which they read like a book as it finshed in the lamps and through the recording instruments. THE EXECUTIONER READY. The executioner was heard to rise from his chair in the clovet and place himself ready to do his duty. With an sttempt ata smile, Slo- cum seated himself in the chair and leaned his head back against the rubber rost as though he simply preparing to be shaved. ‘The forced smile remained on his face and as Fathers Creeden and Lynch took up a position in front of him he again directed his gaze at the cross, while Connaughton began fastening the straps. Slocum’s eyes were clear, and he appeared to be in perfect physieal condition. He took his eyes from the cross long enough to aid Deputy Yarden Connaughton in his task, and then un- tilthe shield was placed on his fuce his lips moved in prayer as he looked’ fixedly at the cross. ‘The straps crossed and recrossed his bod; and his legs were tightly bound tothe foot- rest. Then his arms were fastened and Slocum could no longer move a muscle. Finally an oddly-arranged set of straps that bound his chin in one position and covered his eyes were put in place. Now Dre. MacDonaid and Rockwell and Prof. Landy approuahed to attach the electrodes. ‘The positive electrode was placed on Slocum's head, the same asin the Kemmler electrocu- tion, The negative electrode was attached to the right leg, the trousers having been rolled in the chair. When the electrodes had been satisfactorily adjusted and the wires attached the three scientists glanced at the switchboard and saw that the current was steady and registered 1,500 volts, SLOCUM sat RIGID. Dootors Macdonald and Rochevell then stood off the current. Slocum sat rigid and lifeless in the chair. When the electrodes were removed it was discovered that the skull and the flesh of the leg had been slightly burned; but there was no smell of roasting flesh such as made the Kemm- ler electrocution so horrible, The straps were unloosened and the body carried back into the rear room, SMILER DID NOT HESITATE.’ Smiler did not hesitate when told that his hour had come, but when the death chair ap- red before him he almost fell to the floor. ia knees knocked together and but for the support of his spiritual advisers he would cer- tainly have collapsed. Warden Brown quickly read the death war- rant and Smiler was hastily seated in the chair. His face took on a ghastly hue and Connaugh- ton got noassistance from this victim in ar- ranging the straj Smiler was bound and the electrodes applied in » much briefer time than Slocum, and in a few sovonds Smiler also was dead. same slight burning under theelectrodes was noticed as in Slocum's case. ‘WOOD WAS PREPARED. ‘Wood had been prepared by Fathers Creeden and Lynch while Smiler was going to his death and he was all ready. He uttered no word when his time came. ‘He walked to death, sup- ported by she priests. ‘Wood betrayed no emotion when he gazed on the chair, but kept his eyes fixed on the cruci- fix. He sat down in the chair diffidentiy and his binding was accomplished so quickly that it was only twenty-four minutes from Smiler's end until death came to him. ae JOHN B.

Judge Ross Dismisses the Libel on the Schooner. Los Axotes, Cat., July 6.—Judge Rose of the U. 8. circuit court yesterday dismissed the Ubel on the schooner Robert and Minnie, seized in connection with the Itate epi- sode. The schooner loaded at San Fran- ciseo, and ammunitions for Chilian in- surgente, which were transferred at San Clemente to steamer Itata, were taken to Iquique. Judge Ross in hie decision says while the fact alleged may be good reason for confie- cating the Itata there is nothing to show that the schooner fitted out for purposes of war, and hence the libel was dismissed. Commander Miguel Temada of the Itata to- Gay officially notified the federal authorities that through the agency of Admiral McCann, United states navy, be had roturned to be tried for leaving the port of San Diego on March 6 without necessary permission. ih pins Borrowed Too Freely From His Own Bank.

THOMPSON AXD DAVIS DESIRE To BR BECUSED—MR. NORRIS WILLING TO Do THE wok. In the Court tm General Term, Chief Justice Bingham and Judges Hagner and James, this morning the Chief Justice announced the ap- wemacy thal ies J. Davis, Wm. 8 Thomp- son james 1. Norris: of the cety within the lines of ee Bock Croak Pork, which the commission bas failed to purchase. Tt was suggested by. Mr. Perry that perhaps all would not serve. Mr. Lambert said that although personalty he had no objection to those named he did not know if all of them would be acceptable to those he represented and ssked time to confer with them. After some discussion the court said that the parties named would be notified and any objection to the a) tment would be received tomorrow m Ate Forsyeugpostea that be instructed on Thursday and said that in Zadinion to the o instractions given in the post office site case he would ask that in the values, the sales of adjoining property made since the park was outlined and were offers to buy prop- erty be not considered. = it. Perry, with permission of the court, amended the pleadings by changing the names of some of tho parties. Should Messrs. Davis, Thompson and Norris accept they will be instructed Thursday and enter on their duties, which will engage them for a month or more. ‘MR. DAVIS WANTS TO BE EXCUSED. Mr. Lowis J. Davis, who bas been selected as ‘© member of the commission, is the head of the banking house of Lewis Johnson & Co., and is a life resident of the District. He received notification of his appointment about 1 o'clock today and ropaired at once to the court house, where he made an appeal to the jt to excuse him from service, basing bis request on the ground that his gagements for the summer would make it ex- ceedingly dificult for him to serve and that he bad no experience in country real estate. Mr. Davis said noon that the j excuse his the mutter now rested with es as to whether they would im or not. As one is abont to sail for Europe his business would demand bis attention during the summer toan extent which would make it almost impossible to serve. Mr. Davis remarked with a smile that he bed to the 2 that the overworked bai were entitled to a holiday in the summer as well as the hard-worked judges. To this one of the judges had responded with a question as to whether Mr. Davis could not serve in Septembor. Mr. Davis had intended taking 4 vacation in August. He waid to se Stan porter that while he hed considerable knowledge of city Property he knew little or nothing of county Property. Where land was sold a few Years ago as agricultural land at $200 or $900 an ‘acre is now sold by the foot at prices amount- ing to €2,000 or so an acre, Mr. Davis re marked, a man is likely to lose bearings. He hoped, he said, that the j would regard his appeal and no§ require him to serve. A TALK WITH MB. THOMPSON. Mr. Wm. 8. Thompson, who was appointed one of the board of appraisers, is one of the best known residents and business men of the District, having been in the pharmacy business here for the past thirty-six years. He came to Washington in 1855 and four years later he started out in the drug business on his own accountat the corner of 15th streetand New York avenue. He has been on the same block ever since, 20 that his store has become one of the landmarks of thecity. He has never held a government office, but be has been connected with any nnmber of local instit ing public movements, especially those that tended to the welfare of the aug Mr. Thompson was the first president of the old pharmaceutical association, the first president of the the first a missioners of pharmacy. He is a trustee of the reform school, a trustee and the treasurer of the Children’s Hospital and was one of the charter members of the Woman's Dispensary. He wasa member of the city post office site commission that has but recently concluded its rs. When a San reporter saw him this after- noon Mr. Thompson had just received notice of his appointment as an appraiser of the Rock Creek Park property, and when he was asked the question sald that he had by no means made up his mind to accept the appointment. It was not sought by him, he said, but on the contrary whenever he had been approached with reference tothe matter he had expressed his disinclinatior to accept the position. No sooner was he through with the post office site than he was called to the criminal jury, and he thought it was only fair that he should have a chance to devote some time to his own personal matters. While he was gratified at the appointment he would not say that he would accept though he refused to commit himself until he had given his definite answer to the court. ‘MB. NORRIS WILL ACCEPT. Mr. James L. Norris was found by a Stan re- porter at his office of patent attorney—Sth and F streets—having just received his notification. “Yes,” he remarked, “I will accept—at least, I will be on hand tomorrow to know what this appointment means.” "It will keep you in town allof August,” sug- re gested the . “What of thaty” was the answer, “some one should look after the interestppf the citizen and I might as well accept the place. Some one has to do ft and I think I can do this much for the project aid trust that we will at once get to work. ‘Mr. James L. Norris is forty-four years of age, the eldest son of the late John E: Norris, for ‘a long series of years » prominent member | * of the bar, and after his education in the Dis- trict schools and the study of law with his father he, almost thirty-two years ago, entered into the patent attorneyship a business in which he has been quite succetsful.

Out 7th street to wood went the clattering companions on to Fort Stevens just the other side. ‘There the soldiers saw the angular form and pleasant face of President Abraham Lincoln and the classic countenance of Secretary Bew- riley PRESIDENT LINCOLN TALRED TO THEM. At Fort Stovens Lincoln himself had» talk with officers of the twenty-fifth, and the sub- stance of his remarks ran rapidly through the ranks. He said that Washington wasin . that Early had advanced, nearly to tbe ook works, and that the safety of the city rested mainly for the twenty-fitth boys. He warned the men that if any of them should be captored they should keep their mouths shut and above all say nothing as to the condition of the defenses of Washington. THE COOLEST MEN IX THE FORT. Down below Brightwood the confederate skirmishers could be seon and the crack of the guns was incessant. An eye witness states that the coolest man at the earth works was Abraham = — Lincoln with a linen luster, a slouch hat and a con- tinual’ smile. At Fort Stevens, when the twenty-fifth arrived 'there was an Ohio ment, composed of new recruits, a part of veteran reserve corps and some clerks out of the departments. The bugles of the twenty-fifth sounded a ais- mount, and forming a skirmish line, down the ‘hill went the deploying troopers, the crack of carbines now ma i with the musketa. The advanced line had not advanced 600 when Sergeant Bitdric of company B fell dead. On they went. Where the little soldiers’ grave yard now stands on the Seventh Street road was. flerce skirmish. A number of lines went. For six hours the twenty-fifth regiment continually advar -ed in | the face of a harrassing fire. Silver Springs was reached and the confederate lines turned toward the river. THE SIXTH CORPS RELIEVES THEM. After six hours’ fighting the sixth corps came to the relief and were welcomed with a cheer. Many of the twenty-fifth regiment were killed at this fight and hundreds wounded. One of the features of the reunion will be to visit the graveyard near Brightwood, where many com- rades lie sleeping their last sleep. It is safe to say that as many of the twenty- five ascan do #0 will be in Washington this week. A large number of letters have been re- ceived by Mr. Wolf accepting the invitation or declining with regret. The batch of letters is an interesting and shows the extent to which the regiment has been scattered. SOME OF THE RESPONSES. Captain S. E.
