Hill's Opinion of the Electrical System of Execution. Gov. Hill arrived in New York city last night. oF | Inreply toa question regarding the executionsat Sing Sing the governor said: ‘This system of electrical execution has come to stay. I re- ceived an official notice from Warden Brown merely saying that the executions had taken place successfully and I know nothing more about them than what I have learned from the «i | new papers.”* Mo | Many of the witnesses who witnessed the ex- ecutions were in New York city Inst night and | garding the cxecutions, but, as they are bound to secrecy, they were very reticent. Some in- teresting facts and opinions were elicited, how- ever. Dr. Rockwel characterized electric death as being far more humane than hanging and sais atin none of the hangings he ba witnessed did the men suffer as littie as the murderera who sat in the death chair yester- day. Ai four died instantly and painlessly, only exhibiting the gathering rigidity whic marked the work of the current. Dr. Rockwell denies that any burning was apparent. He said all of the condemned men were docile, sub- mitting without demonstration to their death. TWO SHOCKS NECESSARY. Dr. Daniels said that but for his promise not to. talk he could tell a startling tale. He admitted that asin Kemmicr’s case it was nocessary to shock the victims twice. He said the doctors carried away portions of the victims’ bodies for examination. One physician, whose name may not be men- tioned, said he ‘never saw anything so neatly done. It reminded him of a little family party as they sat in the room there. Dr. Cortelyou said he attended the test in the interest of science, and his mind was made up if he found any cruelty in the infliction of death penalty by electricity to lay a complaint before the proper state untthoritiew and seek to have the law repealed. Death in every instance was absolutely painless and instantaneous, believed. Two shocks were administered sim- ply as a matter of precaution. . R. H. Southwick said that the experi- ments were highly successful, and he felt satis- fied now that electrical exec us have come to stay. The three witnesses from Albany of the four executions at Sing Sing prison arrived home last night. They were Drs. McDonald, Samuel B. Ward and Franklin Townsend, jr. Dr. McDonald. in referring to the executions, said: “The four men were executed without a hitch, any report to the contrary notwithstan ing. ‘There was no confusion nor struggling on the part of either of the condemned, an each suffered an instant and painless death. ‘The arrangements were perfect, as was evi- denced by the results, which in themselves demonstrated the utility and humane mephod involved in killing by electricity. Ali prétent were thoroughly satisfied with reeults. I do not know exactly how soon I shall preparo my official report on the executions.” ton Nist did “you find as the result of the an- psi “I shall have nothing to say on this subject until after the publication of my official re- port.” He refused to say whether, as in tho case of Kemmler, any of the tissues of either of the men were burned. Dr. Ward, who was present, said: “I reiterate what Dr. McDonald has said regarding the execution. Now, if never before, 1am thor- oughly convinced that an execution by elec- tricity as was conducted at Sing Sing prison today results in an instantaneous and painless death.” Dr. Townsend said he was satisfied of the success of the executions. Further thar this he would say nothing. see _____ REPUBLICS FOK THE WORLD. The Purposes of a Meeting to Be Hel October. The resolution introduced into the Philadel- phia common council at its last meeting aliow- ing the committee of the pan-republic congress permission to surround themselves with lib- erty’s historical environs and make use of In- dependence Hall for their meeting bas borne fruit, and the initiatory steps have been taken to make Philadelphia the center of what may be one of the most powerful organizations of the time and calculated to inspire its followers with the truest regard for the system of gov- erning countries by the methods used in the United States.

The President for- mally received them and said earnestly that he hoped the pan-republic congreas would success fully carry out the views of its organization. The Secretary of State warmly commended th good which he said the congress must ef- fect, and suggested to its organizers the. co- operation of Mr. Curtia, the secretary of the pan-Amcrican congress, Mr. Blaine's sugges. tion was carried into effect and he has already Teniered valuable service to the promoters. of the new congress. ‘This congress appeals to the broadest and in *| deepest humar interests and it is, by the na- ture of its origin, exempt from any selfish or partisan element.

Both the Fencibies and the Emmet Guards Will Keturn Tonight. Both the absent companies of the District militia will reach Washington this evening, the Feneibles coming in at 8:15 and the Emmet Guards at 8:30, Both companies will return a little disappointed in the results of their tri but the reception by the stay-at-home boys will be none the less hearty. The Fencibles left Indianapolis yesterday evening with, as a dispatch received by Tux Sran states, their colora draped with crepe. ‘The company will be met at the depot by the stay-at-home members and in all probability by the second battalion and escorted to the armory. The Emmet Guards come in by the Balti- more and Ohio at 4:30, ‘The crack company of the fourth battalion comes home a disap- jointed body, not through having been de- Feated in drill but because the drill did not take place. ‘The com was omitted from the program the Irish-American Military Union South Beach, it is said, because there was no money for prizes.

Alleged Mission of the Chief of Ponape, Caro- line Islands, A San Francisco special to the New York Tribune, dated yesterday, says: Nanpic, chict of Ponape, Caroline Islands, arrived here on the steamer Australia today from Honolulu, He comes to appeal to President Harrison in behalf of his people, who are threatened with the ruin of their property by the Spanish sol- diery. He isa man of magnificent physique, good features and mauly ‘bearing and speaks good English. He says his people en- dured the brutality of the Spanish as Jong as they were able. The soldiers vent to Ponape are not Spanish, but Lascars, from Manila—dirty, ignorant aud sensual. ‘The Spaniards were incited by jealousy of the work of American missionaries to attempt to coerce the natives. When the soldiers maltreated them and destroyed thefr property then the natives rose and expelled them. In retaliation their villages were shelled, but the natives have always been able to whip double their number of renegade Manilamen, American consul, Mr. Rand, is in Hono- luluand expects to return to Ponape on the missionary steamer Morning Star, which brought Chief Nanpie and several American missionaries to Honolulu.

A VERDICT OF CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE. The remains of Miss Dove, who was drowned on July 4 by falling from the wharf after landing from the steamer George Leary, were, as stated in Tur Star, found afloat yesterday and were carried by the direction of her father to “Wheatley’s,” but by the direction of the corouer was carried to “Demaine's,” where the inquest was held by a jury cons ting of Mesers. J. G. Beckham, G. A. Appich, A. T. Ramsey, Harry Smoot, James McCuen and D. W. Zeisse. Mr. C. Stout testified that he came off the boat with Miss Dove, but the crowd was thick and the th narrow and he be- came separated from her, but hearing her cryas she fell over he leaped in after her. Other witnesses testified as to the efforts made to save her, and the jury adjourned to inspect the wharf where the drowning occurred, and resumed its session last night. Mr. Thomas Sonthard testified that he found the body afloat on the east side of the channel, about two-thirds of the way between the mouth of Hunting creek and Notley Hall. Silas Dixon, the colored wharf keeper, testified that his business was to attend to the Norfolk boats, open the shed doors so as to permit a passa y in the middle of the wharf, show light, He did this for all boats wien the captain notified him beforehand that they were going to land at the wharf, but not otherwise. His regular business was with the Norfolk line only. On the Fourth of July he was notified by the Macalester and the Pentz that they would land, but he had no no- tice from the George Leary and was not there when she landed. It was his custom to set out when bouts came st night a small common light, but nothing else. He knows of no light ou the wharf when the George Leary landed on ‘the night of the Fourth of July. Has been ac- customed when he opened the shed doors at might for transient boats to receive 50 cents for his extra work. Mr. Wm. Wattles, clerk of the wharf agen’ testified that the custom was to cpen the sh doors at night only for the regular boats or such transient boats as gave notice. The Leary bad been landing at the wharf since the 27th of inne. ‘THE VERDICT. The jurors were over an hour in making up their verdict and found that the d2ceased came to her death by criminal negligencs on the part of the steamer and wharf owners ir not using proper precaution for the public xafety. They found that the shed door was closed and no light displayed from either bont or wharf, assengers being compelled to leave the whart y @ Very narrow and dangerous passage- way on the edge of the building. Attorneys S. G. Brent and George Mushbach attended the inquest. the former on behalf of the owners of the ste &e., and the Jatter on behalf of Miss Dove's father, who proposes to bring suitfor damages. The verdiet of the jury will be communicated to the common- wealth’s attorney. Undertaker Wheatley has prepared Miss Dove's body for sepulchre and she will be buried today. A UNIVERSITY HONOR. The University of Virginia has granted to Cadet Ernest G. Nock of St. John’s Academy its certificate of proficiency, his case having been j left undecided at the first university examina- tion. Cadet Nock resides in Georgetown and the certificate has been sent to him there. PUMPS AND WATER. A new well and pump has been placed on the corner of Queen and Payne streets which furnishes sweet water similar to that which the old disgonal pumps supplied the water carte that supplied the tows’ in, other days, The water of pumps in the thickly settled parte of the town was long ago polluted by the adjacent waste wells and have all been aban- doned, but nothing can exceed in purity and freshness the Mount Cumeron water supply.

Dispatches received by the railroad officers in San Francisco yesterday from Salton show that there is no material change in the level of the lake, An exploring party sent out five days ago from Yuma have returned, but their report is unsatisfactory. They went down the Colorado and found where the water was en- tering the desert at El Rioand traced it for fifty-two miles, as far as Great Lake at the Indian wells. ‘They found the strenm leaving the Colorado lobe from five to forty-five feet deep. Water covered uli the old stage route and thirty-five miles from the Colorado it had a velocity of four miles an hour. ‘The stream at this point was from one-hulf to two miles wide and from two to four feet deep. The party came within sight of the ridge which separates the Indian wells from Salton Basin, but they did not explore this ridge to ascertain just how the water comes through. Another party will be sent out by the rail- roud today, starting from Flowing Wells, with instructions not to return until they have set- tied thia desert mystery. ‘The Colorado river is falling steadily, having dropped ® foot in ve days. ‘Tke party sent out from Ogilbie last week have returned. The following dispatch was received at the railroad office last night: Mr. Carter arrived at 9:30 last night and gives the following report: ‘The water leavee the Colorado river at s point eight miles from El Rioand flows through several channels from four to six feet deep and from thirty to sixty feet wide. It flows west- along the Sand Hills on the line of the old overland stage at this station, making » stream 100 yards or more, and having a velocity of four miles an hour and gaining. It was too deep to get the depth, but the old slough at this point was formerly twenty feet sie eas: Aedes Judge Botkin Makes His Appearance. THE OLD GUARD, Arrangements for the Trip to the G. A. R.

A special dispatch from Scranton to the Philadelphia Press tells of the arrest of Law- rence Hedglin of Dunmore on a charge of big- amy and the following interesting stoty, the beginning of which dates back nearly twelve years. Hedglin was then twentyix years of age and lived in Dunmore. He had been mar- Tied four years before that time. His wife was compelled to leave him on account of bis cruelty to horself and their children. They remained im Dunmore with her relatives, while Hedg- lin went to New Orleans, where be secured work on the levees. During bis stay there he met and courted a pretty soutbern girl fifteen years of age. She was compara- tively rich, being an orphan and heir to valu- able real estate in Mirsissippi, There were also keveral thousand dollars in cash ewaiting her when she became of age. Hedglin repre- sented bimself to be unmarried, and led the in- nocent gitl to believe be wax the descendant of anold and respected family in the north. Mach against the will of ber guardian the girl consented to marty him, The ceremony wax performed in New Or- leans, where they lived together for several years. About two years ago the bold rascal came back to Dunmore, bringing with him bis eouthern bride. He began housckeeping with his parents, who knew of their son's crime, yet harbored him and hix deluded wife for over eighteen months without warning the child wife of her husband's perfidy. Hedglin’s firet wife, who was still living ic Dunmore, learning of her husband's action, instess af disclosing the true state of affairs to the wronged girl, imitated Hedglin by getting mar- ried herself. About one year ago» second child wax born to Mrs. Hedglin No. 2, and #he decided to purchase a cradle for the little babe, but before expending any money for such an article she ‘thought to look about the house, boping tofind an old crib that might have been used by ber mother-in-law. Her researches were rewarded by finding a cradle, but not one of the kind she looked for. Instead it was a patent rocker of « design that | Was not in vogue in the time of her husband's infancy. This wet her to thinking. If ber mother-in-law had uot purchased the credle, who had?

She went to Alderman Delong's court and told ber sad story. A warrant was issued and Inst evenjng Hedg- lin was arrested and giver a ing. ‘The alderman administered # scathing lecture and sent him to jail to await trial on the charges of breaking the peace, desertion and bigamy. All that Hedglin could say in defense of his ‘unen- viable position was that he was no more of a Digamist than his first wife. The grossly in- jured prosecutrix stated at the trial that in ad- dition to other despicable tricks Hedglin had written to her guardian in New Orleans stating that she was dead and asking that ber money be went to him, as be was her husband and guardian of her children. The New Orleans party answered that he would only be too glad to send along the money af he (Hedglin) would forward a certificate of the woman's death and sufiicient proof of hix having been appointed guardian of the children.
