A JUROR’S OPINION. THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. FRIDAY. APRIL 15, 1892. LATE POLITICAL NEWS. WHAT IT IS ALLEGED MR. LER SAID IN REGARD TO| AN ALGER DELEGATION TO BR SENT FROM ‘MICHIGAX—OTHER CONVENTIONS. Yesterday afternoon an additional motion} ‘The republicans of Michigan will present the for a new trial was filed in the Schneider case, the alleged ground of the motion being that George T. Lee, one of the colored jurors, had previously expressed decidedly emphetic opinion as to the guilt of the defendant and had said that he thougitt Schneider should be bung. The motion recited the fact that Mr. Lee had, when being examined as to his fit- ness to serve asa juror, stated that he bad neither formed nor expressed an opinion. The motion also recited the fact that not until yes- terday did the defendant's counsel become aware of Juror Leo's alleged statement, which statement, the motion says, was heard by sev- eral persons, upon whose affidavits the motion is based. Counting Sunday yesterday was the fifth day since Schneider's conviction, and when this last motion for a new trial was handed to the clerk of the court yesterday the aestion arose as to whether or not the four ays allowed in which to file motion for a new trial had expired. The district attorney upon being consulted said he had no objection to the motion being received, and it was there- upon filed MAT COME UP TOMORROW. The motion for s new trial will in all proba- bility be called up tomorrow, and may be dis- posed of at that time, although it is generally belicved that Judge Wilson will ask for at least a week's postponement of the arguments. It is the opinion of those lasyers who have read the moti submitted by Schneider's counsel that Judge Bradley will promptly overrale th and at once pronounce the sentence, which is that of death by-hanging, the day upon which the sentence shall be executed being designated by the court. Section $45 of the United States Statutes at Large relating to the District of Columbia says that to enable any person convicted of a crime punishable by death or by conficement in the penitentiary to apply for a writ of error the court shall, on application of the defendant, postpone the final execution of the sentence to areisonable tims beyond the next term of the court, not exceeding thirty days after the encof such term. Schneider was tried and convicted in the January term of the Court in General Term. The next term of the court, the April term, begun the first Monday in this month, and the term will end the first Monday in October. Should Judge Bradley refuse the motion for a new trial he would of course be goverened by the iaw quoted, and would there- fore in passing sentence upon Schneider des- ignate some day next October for carrying into effect the penalty prescribed by law. ould the Court in jeneral Term pass upon Schneider's appeal during the present term and refuse to reverse the judgment of the lower court the execution of the sentence would then only be arrested by an appeal to the United States Supreme Court or byan ap- peal to the President. ———_.>_— NEWS FROM FREDERICK.

Dr. Bushrod Poole, who once stood high in the medical profession in this state, but who met with adversities in life that compelied him to pass his later years in obscurity and some- times in want, passed away yesterday morning at his home on West South street in this city. He was a native of Buckeystown district and lived for many years in the village of Buckeys- town, i extended practice. Some ra ago Dr. Poole moved to Frederick with family and has been in ill-health much of the time since. He leaves a wife and five chil- dren. The deceased was eighty-six years old. Experts say that some portion of the buds on all the trees have been killed during the win- ter, but that if no further frosts or cold come there will be plenty of fruit, peaches especially, though not nearly so Scrop as last year. The growing grain is in fine shape, all spring farm work has been greatly delayed, especially plowing, by the continued cold weather. Already some good catches of bass have been made, one handsome five-pounder having been hooked out of the Potomac. Tho season prom- isce to bo an unusually fine one for sport ta this A spirit of revival pervades the numerous industrial enterprises of Frederick at the pres- ent time and an extremely busy season looked forward to. The National Guards Band of the Salvation Army came here Saturday night last from Washington and on Sunday took part in special name of Russell A. Alger to the national con- vention at Minneapolis as the choice of the Wolverine state for President of the United States. This was definitely settled at yester- days’s convention at Detroit, and the friends of Michigan's favorite son maintain that in the delegates sclected Gen. Alger has following which will stand by him loyally as long as he has a hope of success, WOULDN'T INSTRUCT FOR CLEVELAND. The Boyd faction, which opposed instructing the delegates to the national convention for Cleveland, came off victorious yesterday in the Nebraska democratic convention. A resolu- tion indorsing Cleveland and instructing the delegates to the national convention to vote for him was presented. An amendment was made eliminating the instruction of the delegation and the resolution wasthen Governor Boyd was selected to head del- egation by a practically unanimous vote. ‘The other chosen were: Tobias Castor, Judge W.

GEORGIA ALLIANCE CALLED TO ORDER, The state executive committee of the Georgia State alliance met at Atlanta last night and passed resolutions of great political import to the south. For some time past the county alliances and suballiances throughout Georgia have been indorsing the people's party move- men, who are also third party leaders, This is in direct conflict with the constitution of the alliance, which prohibits anything like polit- ical action, The state executive committe recognizing this, met with Congressman Li ingston, presidont of the alliance, and unani- mously ‘passed a resolution demanding that all alliances which have taken such action rescind it promptly or surrender their charters, THE CONVENTION HALLS. Another hitch has occurred in the work of building the democratic national convention wigwam at Chicago, and several days’ valuable time will probably be lost in consequence. The property owners on the lake front have demanded a deposit of $15,000 cash before per- mitting the work to proceed, the required de- posit being to make certain that the wigwam would be torn down immediately after the convention, instead of being left indefinitely for miscellaneous uses.. This raises the amount of subscriptions necessary to $65,000, and thus far the arrangements committee has secured only 241,000. ‘Lhe subexecutive committee of the republi- cau national committee is in session at Minne- apolis to review the work of the local conven- tion committees. Yesterday afternoon the committeemen visited the great hall at the ex- position building, which is now in a very for- ward state, and pronounced it the best by far for conventions ever put at the Vat dis- post The acoustic properties of the hall were given a thorough test with exceedingly satisfactory results, ——--- eee Transrers or Reat Estate, Deeds in fee have been filed as follows: G.

NOW A DEATH WAS CAUSED BY CONTACT OF OTHER WIRES WITH A TROLLEY WIRE—THR FIRE DE- PARTMENT IMPEDED—{ DEMAND AT TER “HUB” FOR 4 REMOVAL OF SUCH WIRES. Boston thi week has had an experience with trolley wires that has emphasized the great objections to the use of such wires on street railroads in cities. First there was fire Sun- day night, when operations of the fire depart- ment were came a shocking tragedy Monday morning when a lineman was killed in a most frightful manner while readjusting the carbons of a lamp. An account of the tragedy has appeared in Taz Stan. The lineman, James Hayes, had ascended a pole on Dover street and was at work putting new carbons in a lamp, when suddenly he reeled back, evidently in great agony, and was soon hanging from the pole, held up by the safety belt which he-had Pluced over the cross bar, When it was removed it was discovered that he had been killed by ® shock from @ line wire, One of hands, which had touched the wire, was badly burned. The death was attended by mystery, for the electric light wire connected with the lamp was sup to ” as the aro light circuits had been cutout for the day. Investigation disclosed that this wire had been charged by contadt at some point with a West End trolley wire. THE RESULT OF THE INVESTIGATION. < The Boston “Journal” of Tuesday evening states the result of the investigation of the lineman’s death as follows: all bability the xplanation given by expert elec- tricians is that the wire which caused Hayes’ death must have been in contact, either di- rectly or by means of a telephone wire, with a West End trolley feed wire.

THE STAR Soe HOE EBOOE Gate ce aS is no allayer of electricity, and a tele- phone wire crossed on a trolley wire, and it- self crossed by an electric light wire, would transmit the power to any g circuit, At the lamp where death, as at any point on that particular cir- cuit, the wire was charged and it needed but a completion of a circuit to show its deadliness. On testing the circuit upon which Hayes was killed a flame was F gintaocnt resembiing in every particular that which was discovered some two months 5 = upon one of the circuits at the time s West End wire was found crossed upon an electric light wire in Roxbury, It was also found that Hayes had removed both of the old carbons, and had placed one of the new ones in position, showing that the circuit was dead when he commenced work. Whatever may have been the cause it has now been removed. That it wasaresult of contact, either direct or remote, with a trolley feed wire is believed, because at the hour in the morning when the accident occurred the trolley wires were the only ones carrying volt- age sufficient to cause death, Would 500 voits, such as the West End claims their wires carry, be powerful enough to destroy human life? This is a mooted question. The West End Company claims not. Under certain circumstances, however,electriciana say it will killa human being. Five hundred volts passing through a man’s body by alternating currents, if sustained fora on | enough period, might so weaken the body an‘ the heart that death would ensue. The condi- tion of the body is an all-important factor, If @ man’s heart be sound and unaffected by pal- pitation or weakened by disease he would be able to allow 500 to 800 volts to pass through his system without serious injury. But if his heart be in the least diseased 250 to 350 volta might be sufficient to cause death, ‘The power suchas the trolley wires carry, that is between 500 and 600 volts, wili instantly kill @ horse or any shod animal, as the shoe nails are driven into the hoof close to the nerve.

He frequently conveys solid formation in a jocular manner and at tim makes more or less successful effort to conceal large chunks of satire in what might, by the unsuspicious, be mistaken for fact. Col. Sterett has been very much interested in the case of Mr. James R. Young, who was removed from his office of principal executive clerk be- cause executive session secrets leaked out. The other evening the colonel inadvertently found himself in company with three or four Sena- tors and several Representatives, and in some way or other the conversation turned toward the initiation of Mr. Ruseell B. Harrison into the press gallery force of correspondenta.
