ELECTRICITY'S GREAT POWER. Tests in Hauling Freight on a Motor Road. NANTASKET, Ma June 27.—Mot car 500 on the electr branch of the Ne York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad ed and pushed 450 and 500 tons yester- on a haulage trial trip. om the standpoint of practical railwaying this test was of far greater value than the spe test of last w est ga isfaction both to the officers of and the representatives of the who furnished the el i For about two hours the inward track be- tween the Old Colony House station and Nantasket was used in experimenting with the new power. the tests all 1g in the line of haulage. The opinion expressed by those directly interested is that the motors could easily handle twice and even three times the tonnage hauléd yesterday. About ) o'clock Colonel N. H. Heft, the general electrical engineer of the Con- solidatea road, started the motor-car, No. 2, the fiier of Friday night, and with the party of ten aboard, including high offi- cials, the car was run to within a short dis- tance of the Nantasket station, back to the 01d Colony House and then to the power- house. No attempt at speed was made Motor-car 24 l; equipment was ne. started at the Old Colony station. There were four heavily loaded freightcars at- tached. Hardly a guiver was noticed as the train started. There was nothine in the start demonstrative of power. The motor just took up its load and ran off with it. here was no effort to make speed, but h lots of power to spare the train was run at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour or more. A locomotive then hauled five more he: the train of eleven ears. The haul was then increased to over 430 tons, but the car took them all down the road and them backagain as ez it did haul. It seemed t ter the first test the motor was almost without limit. There will, be other tests during the week. On Sunday the new power will be used on schedule train One of the two tracks will be reserved for the use of the electrical system. Trains will be run and picked employes of the road instructed in the mechanical details of the motors. - OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Reason for the Dismissal of the Veteran, Professor Davidson. WASHINGTON; D. C., June 27.—Super- intendent Duffield of the Coast and Geode- tic Survey to-day gave out a statement of the reasons for the action in' making changes iu the bureau. He says his only reason for dismissing Professor George W. Davidson was that he had been a long time in the public service, and it was the policy of the survey to.dismiss those who had be- come veterans. ‘‘Professor Davidson was a veteran of the veterans,”’ said he, “while Professor Rogers had been in the service only a few years,” Naval officers are reluctant about dis- cussing the report that Herreschoff Brothers, shipbuilders, have proposed to Becretary Herbert that they will build a twenty-seven knot torpedo- boat for $150,000. It is said at the Navy Depart- ment that the Union Iron Works made a similar proposition before the contract for 2 First avenue | pposed to be crushed to death | ass of debris in the fatal alley | No sounds of agon- | Y | coaling at h 1 . | the trans-Atlantic course, using full boiler eavily laden cars from a siding | € to the main track and coupled them on | the construction of the three small torpedo- boats was awarded to the Columbia Iron Works of Baltimore. It said that in case the bids from the Pacific Coast, Gulf or Mississippi River builders are not rea- sonable the Herreschof ill be permitted to bid, but not otherwise. The indica- tions are, however, that there wiii be a great number of bids from those sections named in the appropriations act, so that the Atlantic buil {crs will be shut off from competition. H. E.

C., June 27.— At the meeting of the Naval Board of Con- struction to-day a report was considered from the steel board strongly recommend- ing the use of nickel steel in place of| | ordinary carbon steel for all possible pur- { poses on warships. This was warmly opposed by the bureau chiefs on the ground that while | nickel-steel costs 100 per cent more than | the best carbon steel 1t did not average | over 5 per cent better in strength and other | desirable qualities. It was stated in the | ! discussion that the Carnegie Company had | 300,000 pounds of nickel steel scraps and trimmings accumulated from completed contracts which could not be sold except to the Government. The character of steel made from this material was unobjection- | able, but its price declared exorbitant. LONST SERICE IFLES The First of the Modern Weapons Will Soon Be Completed.

WASHINGTON, D.*C., June 27.—In- | formation has been received by the Army | | the first or type rifle of the 100-gun contract, made by the Bethlehem Iron Company in 1891 by direction of Congress, will be com- | vleted and delivered during the current month, and that the other rifles of this| (8-inch) caliber and also the type guns of the 10-inch and 12-inch calibers are well on toward completion and will soon be ! delivered. | The contract with the Bethlehem Iron | Compiny wus for twenty-five 8-inch, fifty 10-inch and twen nch high-power modern_seac rifles, which amounted to nearly $3,500,000, and w awarded to | this firm, which, in order to carry out the conditions of the contract, has expended nearly $1,000,000 in enlarging its plant. The object of Congress in providing for this contract was that there should be established in this country some private | plant capable of turning out high-power | seacoast rifles of the modern type in addi- | tion to the army gun factory at Watervliet | Arsenal.

SRS GRS e THE TRIPLE Py TING SCREWS. The Cruiser Columbia to Race Against Time From Southampton. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 27.—The cruiser Columbia is to race against time from Southampton to New York under in- | stractions from Secretary Herbert. She | will not, however, be driven at her highest | speed, the effort being limited to deter- mine what the famous triple-screw fiver can do under actual service conditions out subiecxinr; her to a strain. After Southampton she will follow power without forced draught. When the | Columbia was sent to Kiel under the regu- lations she was limited to three-quarters full as are all vessels under ordi- nary cruising orders, and it took her over eight days’ elapsed time to make the v age to Southampton. She used only si of her eight boilers and averaged 16.4 ixmls for the trip. It is not expected that she will make more than 18 or 19 knots re- turning, as she is not in prime condition for record-making. S R FOR WOODWARD'S RELEASE. | | The United States to Take Action in the | Correspondent’s Case. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 27.—Com- | plaint was received at the State Depart- ment to-day that an American newspaper correspondent named Woodward had been arrested in Cuba on suspicion of being an insurgent. This matter had been pre- viously referred in these dispatches. Wood- ward was apprehended on arriving in a | Cuban town, riding a worn and jaded horse and being very much worn and jaded him- self. His condition attracted ~attention, | nd it yas charged that he had visited a mp of the insurgents. The State De- partment will make inquiry by telegraph of Mr. Springer, our acting Consul-General at Havana, and request Woodward’s re- lease. The request will be probably com- plied with. | | | | | e Cancellation of Patents, WASHINGTON, D. C., June 27.—Mr. ims, Assistant Secretary of the Interior, nformed the Attorney-General of the nited States that in pursuance of areport of a special agent, no further action will be taken in regard to the cancellation of a patent for certain agricultural lands in Calaveras County, Cal., issued by ex-Com- missioner of Land Offices Thomas Sparks in August, 1889. Congressman Caminetti of California ed the department to begin procéedings in the matter. S Examination of Enginecrs. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 27.—The President has signed an order providing for the appointment of engineers and as- sistant engineers in the departments at ‘Washington by competitive examination under the civil service rules instead: of by non-competitive examinationsas formerly. This action was taken at the instance of the engineers now in the service, who united in a petition to have it done. Coredmelag Californians in New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 27.—C. H.

One Delegate Pushes Forward and Loudly Denounces the Chairman. A WILD RUSH FOR THE STAGE. Humorous Resolutions Introduced During the Closing of the Con- vention. LOUISVILLE, Ky June 27.—For Governor, P. Watt Hardin; for Lieutenant- Governor, R.T. Tyler; for Treasurer, R. C. Ford; for Auditor, L. G. Norman; for Register of the Land Office, G. B. Swango; for Attorney-General, W. J. Hendricks; for Secretary of State, Henry S. Hale; for Superintendent of Public Instruction, Edward Porter Thompson; for Commis- sioner of A culture, Ton B. Hall. The foregoing was the ticket nominated by the Democratic State Convention. The convention came near ending in a riot this afternoon. It was during the passing of the most bitterly contested race of the session, to which the contest for Governor tively a very quiet and orderly affair—the race for Secretary of State. With the exception of Governor, the office of Secretary of State is the best paying in the gift of the convention, and there was a_warm rivalry with Henry F. Hale (the incumbent), John W. Headley, J. Stoddard Johnson and C. W. Metcalf as the candidates. Each had a large following, and four ballots were taken be- fore there was any result. During the third ballot C. P. Taylor of Mason County rushed down the central aisle of the hall and denounced Chairman A. L. Berry for alleged unfairness, wind- ingup with a round cursing. This was the beginning of a scene of disorder such seldom seen outside of ward gather- Every delegate was off his feet and crowding toward the platform on which the chairman sat, and shovine their way through were Hale and Metcalf, two of the contestants. Both men leaped up on the stage and a dozen others followed and for a while fists were shaken and threats made on every side. Partial order was finally restored by the chairman agreeing to have aanother call of the roll for the fourth bal- lot before allowing counties to change their votes. Hale was nominated. Other contests were uninteresting with the exception of that for Registrar for Land Office, which took three ballots to decide, G. B. Swango, the present holder of the office, being nominated. Ed Porter Thompson, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, was renominated. Auditor L. C. Norman and Attorney- General W. J. Hendricks had no opposi- tion and were renominated by acclama- tion. A slate made up by the Hardin men was smashed in two instances, but seven out of nine offices were filled according to the dictates of those who nominated the free- silver man for Governor. The committee of permanent organiza- tion made a report. The only new thing recommended was that the State Central Committee consist of fourteen men here- after, instead of one from each of the eleven Congressional districts as heretofore. The convention was in session from 9:30 to 7:30 p. m. In the last hour of the con- vention some would-be bumorous resolu- tions were presented, among one of them as follows: Resolved, That this convention adopt the rooster or chicken cock as the emblem or de- vice of the Democratic party, for use at elec- tions, TLoud crows of approval greeted this reso- lution, and it was passed by a unanimous vote. WARNER PREDICTS A SPLIT. His Idea of the Result of the Democratic Convention. CLEVELAND, Omuro, June 27.—General A. B. Warner, the champion of free silver, who is at present in this city, speaking of | the Democratic convention at Louisville, said: “‘The outcome of the Louisville con- vention was not looked for by the bimet- allists. We know how easy it is with the assistance of officeholders to pack a con- | vention, but any one who has visited Ken- tucky knows that the convention did not represent the sentimentsof a large ma- | jority of the people of the State, who are undoubtedly opposed to the gold standard | and in favor of the resumption of coin- age of both gold aud silver. “The general then went on to show that a split of the Democratic party was almost inevitable at “the coming National convention. “This is the outlook now,” he said, “and I believe it is safe to predict that John Sherman and Grover Cleveland will vote for the same man for the Presidency in 1896.” ““Will there be a separate party ?'’ *The silver men will get together,” said General Warner with - emphasis. *“Just how it is too early to predict. They will make a different party, by whatever name it is called. They must get together o1 they might as well give up the fight.”” EXECUTION OF A MURDERER. Sickening Scemes Witnessod Penitentiary Scaffold. COLUMBUS, Omuro, June 27.—Michael McDonough was hanged in the annex of the State prison here this morning. There was a shocking scene in the execution- room. In hisimprisonment he had grown heavy and his flesh and muscles soft. The drop was a long one, over six feet, and the momentum of the body was such as to pull the head almost entirely from the body. Blood spurted from the neck upon the ex- ecutioners and spectators, and the prison Ehysicuns who grasped the wrists were as loody as butchers in a few minutes. The drop fell at12:08 and_and at 12:19 he was pronounced dead. No guillotine execu- tion was ever more bloody than this one. McDonough met his death bravely. On the scaffold he made no reference to his griéne. only saying that he forgave every- ody. The crime for which McDonough was hanged was the murder of his wife, Mary McDonough, in Kenton, their home, on September 8, 1894. Though the{ were both over 60 years of age he was jealous of her. pre e Upon a Railway Yardmasters. DENVER, Coro., June 27.—The Railway Yardmasters’ Association in convention has disbanded the old organization which embraced Canada and formed a new one by the name of the National Yardmasters’ Association. Following are the officers: J. M. Glunt of Staples, Minn., president; Joseph McMahon, Chicago, vice-president Edwin Smith, Denver, second_vice-presi- dent; J. W. Coneys, Cincinnati, secretary and treasurer. The insurance feature of the old association is dropped. The main object of the new one is to Lring the yard- masters and division superintendents closer together. o U0 sk KIDNAPED BY COUNTERFEITERS. Rather Sensational Appeal Found in a Floating Bottle. ST. LOUIS, Mo., June 27.—R. C. Tandy yesterday found in the Missouri River a beer bottle containing a rather sensational note written in lead pencil. The note, which was turned over to Chief Harrigan, is as follows: 6-12, '95—To whoever finds this bottle: We have been kidnaped by a band of cut-throats and thieves, and are held on #n island in the Platte River, near Omaha, Nebr. They are not only thieves but counterfeiters, and have their head- quarters in Omaha, near the Douglass- street bridge. Come to our rescue and you will be liberally rewarded. Go to the mouth af Eikhorn River and stop at the third island down stream. For God's sake come.” The note is signed by A. P. Pilford and Jobn Buncmaster. The Omahaauthorities were asked to investigate. S e X MANY CLAIMS STAKED OUT. Discovery of Rich Gold Deposits in Wyoming. DOUGLASS, Wro., June 27.—After over two weeks of secret prospecting a party, headed by an old Colorado prospector of twenty vears' experience, has discovered gold twelve miles from this place. When the news of the find leaked out it caused the big fever, which has heretofore been unknown in this vicinity. It is estimated that over 100 claims were staked out to- day. Reports brought in this aiternoon are that mineral locations of recent finds are identical with Cripple Creek. The assay shows gold in more than paying quantities and ore increases in value as the shaft deepens. AN INNOCENT * INDIAN Terribly Tortured by a Wild Mob in an Oklahoma Town. It Requires the Presence of Cavalry to Prevent the Reds From Retaliating. WASHINGTON. D. C., June 27.—Cap- tain A. E. Woodson, Indian Agent of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians in Okla- homa, has forwarded a report to the Indian Bureau of the arrest and brutal treatment of a young Indian named Cosah Red Lodge, who was accused of having as- saulted a white woman about 60 years old in that Territory. The particulars of the affair, as reported by Captain Woodson, are substantially as follows: ‘There was no jail at Arapahoe. A guard of citizens were detailed by the Sheriff to protect the prisoner pending his prelimi- nary trial before the County Judge. The guard took him to the edge of the town, where a game of baseball was in progress. ‘When near the place Red Lodge saw the crowd and became frightened, thinking that tnev had collected for the purpose of hanging him, He jumped outv of the buggy and asked the guard by signs to shoot him, preferring death by shooting to being hanged by the mob. When the crowd saw him they gave chase. The Sheriff, being_nearest to him, epened fire and continued shooting until he had emp- tied his revolver. Cowboys with lariats gave pursuit and attempted to hang him, As they approached he ran toward them. making signs, pointing to his head and breast, indicating that he wanted to be shot. He was shot in the abdomen by the Sheriff and the citizens beat him horribly, cut him with a knife and otherwise in- flicted brutal treatment upon him. He was then taken in an insensible condition to the town, where his wounds were dressed. ¢ Captain Mackay’s troop of the Third Cavalry, twenty-five miles distant, was brought to Arapahoe and encamped near the town, and its presence served to quiet the Indians and to give safety to the citizens of the town, wgo were now in dread of retaliation by the Indians. Wood- son says he cannot too severely condemn the action of the Sheriff. Three days after the shooting an examination was made by the Judge of the local court—the wounded prisoner being brought_into court on a mattress—which resulted in his discharge, it having been clearly shown that he was innocent of the crime. The woman herself stated that he was not the guilty party. He was then released and taken by his parents to their camp. Comesgie i TRIUMPH FOR A FREE PRESS. Editor Dana Congratulated by the New York Association. LAKE HOUSE, Lake Georer, N. Y., June 27.—At the meeting of the New York State Press Association to-day the following resolutions were unanimously adopted re- ferring to the Noyes-Dana controversy : WHEREAS, We note with great satisfaction the fact thatJudge Brown of the United States Dis- trict Court has rendered a decision in the case of Editor Noyes of Washington against Charles A.

Yale Wins the Triangu- lar Race for the Freshmen. GREAT PLUCK IS SHOWN. Columbia Takes the Lead, but Is Quickly Passed by Harvard. A FINE TEST OF ENDURANCE. For Two Mlles the Oarsmen Make a Determined Fight for Supremacy. NEW LONDON, Coxw., June 27.—Yale '98 won the triangular Yale-Harvard-Co- lumbia freshman race this morning by less than one length, Harvard finishing a close second and Columbia a weak third. Columbia took the lead at the start. Har- vard passed her in less than 100 yards from the beginning of the race and held the lead till just as the mile post was passed. Yale then secured a slight lead, but Harvard ap- parently pulled up again and led till the last mile. Then Yale made an heroic spurt and finished a winner in the closest race ever rowed here, and in the hardest freshman race known. Yale pulled uni- formly a 38 stroke, Harvard 40 to 41 and Columbia 38 to 40. Yale pluck won the race. It was the grandest exhibition ever given of fresh- man pluck in the history of American uni- versity rowing, and was won only after the gamest uphill fight ever witnessed here. Haryard’s work was a surprise, consider- ing the changes in the boat within a fortnight. Yale, however, proved equal to the emergency and pulled the race from the fire when it seemed almost in the grasp of the crimson. . Less than a length separated the Yale and Harvard boats at all times during the contest, most of the time the prows cutting the path upstream side by side. Columbia made a feeble showing, but for excusable reasons. They were fifteen lengths behind at the finish, and after the first quarter mile ceased as a factor in the struggle. The time was lower than that made by freshmen on the Thames in years, although not a record-breaker. The only unfortunate incidents of the race were mis- haps of the Columbia freshman crew. Just as the first mile was being com- pleted the bow oar-lock broke. Columbia was then out of the race. Then the steamer Block Island disregarded the orders from the referee’s boat and steamed ahead of everybody. It gaveColumbia the wash and partially swamped her. The | boats went off at 10:43, Yale appearing | first, only a few minutes behind time. Harvard was next, Columbia a tardy last. Columbia’s was the favorite position— the west side, with Yale in the middle and Harvard along the line of the eel grass. Yale's boat started directly from the cen- tral pier of the big drawbridge. 'The river at the start was comparatively smooth, but the breeze freshened near the finish, and the final haif mile was dashed over through a choppy sea. Five minutes were consumed by Ref- eree Richards getting a true start. Colum- bia’s eight blades clawed the water first, and the blue and white, with forty-four strokes, took a graceful lead. One hun- dred yards was the limit of Colum- bia’s endurance at such a pace. Seventy- five yards from the start Harvard was abreast of Columbia and Yale was half a length behind. Here Yale's steady work begun. Columbia was overhauled after a | hundred yards and a dogged fight for a two-mile pull was on. At the mile flag the Yale boat was set- ting the pace, though still second. Yale's reserve strength, skill and determination centered in a final spurt, which took the lead. Crimson oars could not overcome Yale's lead. Both finished in nice form. just about a length between them. First mile, Yale, 4:58; Harvard, 5 mirutes; Co- lumbia, 5:15. Second mile, Yale, 10:28; Harvard, 10:32; Columbia, 11:1834. Much dissatisfaction was expressed that a difference of four seconds was announced between Yale and Harvard at the finish. A length usually means three seconds. NOT GUILTY, SAY JURORS, Failure to Convict the Alleged Slayers of Barrett Scott. Close of One of the Most Celebrated Cases Ever Triled in Ne- braska. BUTTE, Nesr., June 27.—Notwithstand- ing the heavy rain that was falling when court convened this morning, standing room was at a premium. Many people came from remote points to hear the clos- ing argument and instructions of the court in the celebrated Scott case, which has occupied the attention of the public for the past two weeks. M. F. Harrington continued his argument in behalf of his clients, and spent nearly two hours. The court then read the instructions, which were very lengthy. In the matter of venue he instructed the jury that it would be necessary to find beyond a rea- sonable doubt that Scott was hanged or came to his death in Boyd County in order to convict. He also instructed” the jury that political parties and factions and sympathy for the friends or relatives of defendants of Scott should not be con- sidered in arriving at a verdict. The in- structions ‘were fair to both the State and the defense. The jury was out just,_one hour and five minues when the bailiff announced to Judge Kinkaid that the jury had agreed upon a verdict. The vercict was filed, and then in a :lear but trembling voice Clerk levln?,d read the two words, “Not uilty. 8 This closed one of the most famous cases ever tried in this part of Nebraska, and the fact that the Attorney-General prosecuted, and also that the crime was charged toa political party, made it one of the most im- portant ever tried in Nebraska. el e, Good Templars Meet, BOSTON, Mass., June 27.—The biennial session of the International Supreme Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Tem- plars opened at the Young Men’s Christian Association building in this city this murni;nf, Right Worthy Grand Templar D.

The Editor Runs Out of Town to Escape a Mob. SOUTH EXND, O. T, June 27.—J. L. L. Isenberg, publisher of the Wave and author of the scurrilous article that led to the killing of Register Patterson and Mar- shal Williams last night, left town early last night to avoid being mobbed. The people on reading the article became so in- censed that threats of mobbing were freely made, and had he been found he would have been summarily dealt with. Threats were made against the Wave office, and it was with great difficuity that the crowd was kept from tearing the building to pieces.

The Perfect Tonic. MACK & 00,, Sole Proprietors, San Francisco, Cal her | Francisco met | COTTLES KIDNAPERS One Startling Part of the Story Is Now Revealed. END OF AN OLD SCANDAL. Emery, the Arch-Conspirator, Had Been Duped Him- self. MONEY PAID FOR A PARDON. The Wealthy Buffalo Man Did Not Do the Right Thing by His Client. BUFFALO, N. Y., June 27.—A startling part of the Cottle kidnaping sensation was learned this morning from one of the ofticials who made the investigation. This story fastens the identity of the léader in plot. His name is John C. Eniery, once a prominent citizen of Buffalo. Some go Emery, who was living in Cincinnati, was arrested for violation of the postal laws. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to a long term of imprison- ment, but escaped and made his way to Canada. After a timeé he opened negotia- tions with Mr. Cottle, who was an old friend, for securing a pardon from the Governor of Ohio, and offered to spend money to bury the secret. Mr. Cottle promised to do what he could for him and was paid over a large sum, said to be between $5000 and $17,000. What- ever Mr. Cottle ‘may have done for his client he did not get him a pardon, and Enery demanded the return of the money, which was refused. Emery then wrote that he could not come to the United States to sue for it, but he would take other means to get it. It appears he then obtained a confederate and planned this job. It is also learned that ever since last Mon- day Edward P. Cottle, the lawyer's son, was in Fort Erie, negotiating with Emery for the return of his father, Emery holding out for a larger sum than the Cottles were willing to pay. The man who drove Mr. Cottle to the Baynes-street house is George Allen, an escaped convict. The police are trying to find Emery, but so far have been unsuc- cessful. Pittsburg Wants the Convention.

If you haven't waited beyond rea- son, there’s com- plete recovery and cure. Although by many believed to be incurable, there is the evidence of ", bundreds of living ) witnesses to the Z :{é fact that, in all its 777 earlier stages, con. “sumption is a cur- ~able disease. Not 2 every case, but a large ftr[enmge of cases, and we believe, fully 98 per cent, are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, even after the dis- ease has progressed so far as to induce repeated bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration great loss of flesh and extreme emaciation and weakness. Do you doubt ‘that hundred of such cases reported to us as cured by ‘ Gold- en Medical Discovery’’ were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease? You need not take our word forit. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the best and most ex. perienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in misrepresenting them, and who were' often strongly prej- udiced and advised against a trial of ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery,” but' wha have been forced to’ confess that it sur. passes, in_curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines with which they are acquainted, Nasty cod liver oil and its filthy ‘' emulsions’’ and mix. tures, had been tried in nearly all these cases and had either utterly failed to benefit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short time. 2 The photographs of a large number of those cured of consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of 16¢ gages which will be mailed to your ad. ress for six cents in stamps. - You can then write those cured and learn their experience.
