Jerome Park Opening Was De void of Feature. Jerome Park, N. V., July B.— For the first time in nearly two years metropolitan race-goers had a chance to Journey to this track to-day.

Detroit, Mich., July B.— The coun cil meeting last niirht was attended by an enormous crowd of indignant citi zens, gathered to show their inteiest in the street railway franchise question, and, as it proved, to voice their indigna tion at the wcrK of the council. When the franchise question came up, and during the discussion which followed, bedlam broke loose. The packed cham ber was tilled with excited men, who cried: "Down with Boss Jacobs and his gang;" '-'Tar and ftather the boss," "Hang him." and similar cries. Jacobs faced the storm a moment, speechless with rage, and foaniins at the mouth. When he did speak he denounced the citizens roundly and moved •on them. Affairs became so threatening at this point that to transact business was im possible, and amidst the greatest ex citement every one piled out of the council chamber. No adjournment was taken. ■ .«. A QUEER CLAIM. The Courts Will Be Called on to Decide It. Kaxsas City, Mo., July B.— Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, the noted philan thropist of Stamford, Conn., was ad judged insane by a jury in the probate court this morning, and a curator will be appointed to care for her property in this state. David McCormick, a noted contractor of this city, will combat the transfer of Mrs. Thompson's property Into the hands of the curator. Mr. Mc- Cormlck was engaged to be married to a niece of Mrs. Thompson. The niece died, and Mr. McCormick claims that the property which was to be given by Mrs. Thompson to her niece upon her marriage, was, upon the latter's death, given to him. The property is valued at 130,000. _ Kansas Eight-Hour Law. Topf.ka, Kan., July B.— A mandamus suit against the warden and board of di rectors of the state penitentiary to en force the l°.w providine that no state employe shall work more than eight hours a day. was filed and areued to day. Decision was reserved. The labor oiganizations are fighting to have the law enforced. The enforcement of the law would necessitate the employment of 1,200 new employes in the various state institutions, for whose pay there is no appropriation. A AVise Innovation. Detroit, July B.— The recent inno vation of the Detroit Driving club in reducing entrance fees to the races from 10 to 5 per cent of the purse re ceived emphatic indorsement from horsemen when entries to the trotting meeting of July 20-25 were counted to day, 123 nominations and three classes remaining open.

She says she married the defendant in this city in 1878, and that he deserted her in Paris last March. THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TIIIjrvSDAY MORNING, JULY 9, 1891. Highest of all in Leavening Power. — U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, ISS9. ABSOLUTEttf PURE SMILER WAS BURNED, An Enterprising Reporter in New York Views His Corpse.* He Reports That the Body Presented a Horrible Sight. Warden Brown Is Peculiarly Cautious as to What He Knows. Doctors Are Mum, but the Newspapers Talk Very Plainly. New Yohk, July B.— The following is printed in an extra edition of an even ing paper here: The body of the mur derer Harris A. Smiler was brought to this city this afternoon by Undertaker Hulberg, of £65 West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, on the train which left Sing Sing at 1 :30 o'clock. The body has been claimed by Smiltr's \vidow,tl»e woman he married and deserted for the woman whom he afterwards murdered. The body was taken off the train at the station at Fourth avenue and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. It was then conveyed to the undertaking rooms at 205 West One Hundred and Twenty-titth street. Three or four hundred people were gathered to wit ness the arrival of the body. By a pre vious arrangement with the undertaker a reporter was in waiting at the rooms to see the body of the executed murderer. The coffin was taken into the basement by the under taker's assistants, and the lid was quicKly taken off, exposing the dead man's face. The reuorter stood close by and was horrified at the sicht that met his eyes. Smiler's face had beeu Burned and Seamed by the electric fluid until it presented the appearance of having been broiled. The hair on the front of the head, of the mustache and eyebrows had been singed and burned off. The face was furrowed and scarred as though with a hot iron. These marks were not those of a scalpel or dissecting knife. They were palpable burns. Pressing closer to see the dead lace plainer, the reporter attracted the at tention of the undertaker's assistants, and they seized him by the shoulder and compelled him to leave the place before any other portion of the body was exposed. To repeated requests to be allowed to see the body, the reporter was informed that no one but the un dertaker and his assistants would be peimitted to see it until it had been fully prepared for burial. "It was learned through one of the undertaker's assistants that Stniler's left leg was burned to the bone through the calf. The eyes were badly burned, though the eyeball-was not destroyed." Following the above is. printed a Sing Sing dispatch from a correspondent who had been directed to question War den Brown about the alleged condition of Smiler's body. This dispatch is as follows: Brown Will Not Talk. Warden Brown said when asked as to the burninj of Smiler's body: "I still adhere to my determination to make no statement whatever. I will neither de ny or confirm the report. No influence can be brought to bear upon me to in duce me to say anything whatsoever re garding the electrocution beyond the simple statement that on JulyTfclo cmn, Smiler, Wood and Jugiro were ex ecuted according to law." Father Cree den is quoted by a priest from another village who rode down town witti the reporter to-day as saying that when the whole story came out it would be dis closed that all the doomed men were burned by the electrodef, but that they had been so mutilated by the surgeons' knives that it would be difficult of proof. The priest, who particularly desired to keep his name out of print, said he had been told the same thine by a layman who had seen the bodies — presumably a prison employe. Cou lirmatiou of the above is not at hand. A Contradiction. The following comes from the usual local news sources of the Associated Press: The body of Harris A. Smiler, who was electrocuted at Sing Sing yes terday, was brought to this city to the undertaking establishment of Fred Hurlburg, at N0.'26.> West One Hundred and Twenty-Fifth street, this afternoon. Smiler once worked for Hurllmrg and his relatives accepted Mr. Hurlburg's offer to bury him at his own expense. The body was put in a casket and was viewed by Smiler's sister, brother and a few friends. Mr. Hurlburg stated that no examination of the body had been made by any person with a view to ascertaining about the burns said to have been inflicted by the elec trodes at the time of the electrocution. He did not think it right to let anybody but the family and a few friends see it. To-morrow morning at 11 o'clock the body will be buried. In Dishonored Graves. Sixg Sing, July B.— The unclaimed bodies of the three electrocuted mur derers—Sloeum, Wood and Jugiio— were buried in lhe prison cemetery at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Nine con victs lowered the coffins, one after an other, into the graves, which were then quickly filled up with quicklime and leveled off with earth. There was no ceremony, religious or otherwise, at the graves. Warden Brown was seen at the prison this evening and asked as to the re ported burning of Smiler's body. He still adhered to his determination to make no statement whatever, and that he would neither deny nor confirm the report. Key. Father Creeden, who was pres ert at the executions in his clerical ca pacity, is quoted as saying that when the whole story came out it would be disclosed that all the doomed men were burned by the electrodes, but that they had been so mutilated by the surgeons' lances that it would be difficult of proof. Dr. \» uril'o Opinion. Albany, July B.— Dr. S. B. Ward, one of the witnesses yesterday of the electrocution, was shown the Evening World's report of the burning of Stniler. He was asked if he could corroborate the report. The doctor looked per plexed, and walked up and down for a few moments in deep thought and then said: "I am considering just how much or how little I ought to say. I am not bound by oath but by honor, which to me is the same thing, not to divulge anything connected in any way with the details of the execution. Therefore. I cannot answer the question. 1 will not say Smiler was not burned." "Will you say he was?" queried the reporter for the United Press. Dr. Ward, without the utmost courtesy, replied: "iwill say nothing about it." Finally the doctor broke a minute's silence by saying: "I will say that not one of the executed showed anything like the disfiguring incidental to death by hanging. There was not one-half ttie horror in witnessing their execution that there would have been if they had been hanged. The heart beats wero over fifteen times as quick." "Do you call a blister a burn?" "Certainly not," was his reply. "A burn would char the flesh." Again he was asked as to the turning on of the current once or twice after the first had been shut off, to which he replied: "I will not say How many times it was turned on or off. It could make no earthly difference how many times. As a matter of fact, an alternating current shuts itself oil' from 1,500 to 1,800 times a minute. Now, if it were turned off by the switch it would be the same cnt off, only with a ionger interval between it and the next application of the cur rent." Dr. Ward would say nothing more, excepting that the executions were eminently successful and carried out skillfully and without any mishaps. Hill and the Doctors. New Yokk, July B.— Gov. Hill arrived in town last night. In reply to a repre sentative of the United Press regarding the executions at Sing Sing, the gov ernor said: "This system of electrical execution has come to stay. 1 received 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 newspapers." Dr. A. D. Rockwell characterized electric death as being far more humane than hanging, and said that in none of the hangings he had witnessed did the men suffer as little as the murder ers who sat in the death chair yester day. All four died instantly and pain lessly, only exhibiting the gathering rigidity that mat ked 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. Dr. Daniels said that but for his promise not to talk he could tell a startling tale. He admitted that, as in Kemmler's case, it was necessary to shock the victims twice. He said the doctors carried away portions of the vie • tims' bodies for examination. One phy sician, whose name may not be men tioned, said he never saw anything; so neatly done. It reminded him of a lit tle family party as they sat in the room there. Dr. L. i\ Cortelyou said he attended the test in the interest of science and his mind was made up if he saw any cruelty in the infliction of the death penalty by electricity to lay a complaint before the proper state authorities and seek to have the law repealed. Death in every instance was absolutely pain less and instantaneous, he believed. Two shocks were administered simply as a matter of precaution. Dr. K. 11. Southwick said that the experiments were highly successful, and he feels satisfied now that electrical executions I have come to stay. Dr. Franklin Town send said the executions were perfectly ! successful. I ITlai-nonul Won! Talk. I Albany, N. V., July B.— Dr. Carlos F. Mac Donald, who conducted the ex-, ecution and the autopsies of the fouri murderers at Sing Sing, arrived in the city last night and, after registering at the Star.ix hotel, was driven to the house of Dr. Samuel 13. Ward. He de clined to give out his autopsy notes to a reporter, saying: "I have not got them in shape and Dr. Ward and I have yet to make microscopic examina tion?. The results will be written out and sent to the warden at Sing Sing, and he will file them, probably, with the prison superintendent. The execution was a success, and I believe will be found the proper mode of capital pun ishment, as it is to continue in this state." Asked about the witnesses, Dr. Mc- Donald said: "There wpre too many. It would have been better to have only a few scientific men present. Dr. Ward and myself were the official physicians and will make the death report. The witness whom nobody knew and who was supposed to be from Rochester was the attending physician of Auburn prison. 1 should like to tell you more, but my allegiance to the warden for bids. I can say that I believe death was instantaneous." Newspaper Comment. New Yohk, July B.— The morning papers of this city In commenting to-day upon the electrical executions at Sing Sing yesterday, which they generally regard* as successful, take occasion to vigorously attack Warden Brown for his extraordinary and wholly unnecessary as well as futile pains to prevent the newspapers from getting jews of the executions. The placing of armed guards outside the prison walls, referred to as a "dead line," is condemned as au thority arbitrarily assumed. The Sun says: "This morning the Sun and every other reai newspaper in the state openly and deliberately violate that section of the electrical execution law which forbids the publication of the details of an execution. 'This provision is a disgrace to the civilization of which we are proud. It is against public policy, it is impossible to enforce, and it is defied and will continue to be defied by every self-respecting newspaper in New York on every such occasion. The law defies a higher law, namely, the constitution, which decrees that "no law shall be passed to restrain or abridge tie liberty of speech or the press." But the press has another duty to perform. It must bring about the re peal of this unconstitutional provision. To that end it should devote its ut most energies at the next election. ; Without regard to personal or partisan consideration?, it should support for the legislature and for responsible execu tive posts only such candidates as are distinctly committed against this pre posterous gag-law. The Sun is ready, for one, to engage itself to support any Republican candidate who shall promise to vote or work next winter for the re peal of the law." A Gone Coon. Little Rock, Ark.. July B.— Last night at Beebe, Ark.. Mrs. Folsoin, while returning home from a church, festival, was criminally assaulted by a negro named Bailey.

Financial Backers of Western Roads Take a Hand in the Fight. Demoralization of Rates to Be Avoided on Almost Any Conditions. Chicago, July B.— The Western Pas senger association closed its monthly to-day without touching upon the ques tions that have risen on account of the differences between Chairman Finley and the Alton. A special meeting of managers has been called for next Sat urday morning to consider this matter and, if possible, to bring about a settle ment of the difficulty. It is understood that the financial backers of the West ern roads have interfered, and that strict instructions have been given to the managers t3 call Chairman Finley down and to resume peaceful relations With the Alton at once. This indicates triat the end of the fight is at hand and that the result will be a victory for the Alton. Any other outcome would mean a demoraliz ation of rates throughout the Western territory and that is the one thing that i the owners of the bonds are most | anxious to avoid. But a still more im portant result would be produced by such a concession. It would be equiva lent to the enlistment of all the west ern roads on the side of the Alton in its fight with the Eastern lines, and could scarcely fail to break the backbone of the boycott and once more defeat the movement to abolish the payment of passenger commissions. At the meeting of the association it was found convenient to postpone action on many important questions because of the uncertainty exist'ng as to the Al ton's position. Such was the fate of the proposed uniform contract on mileage tickets, the report of the committee looking to a modification of the present rules iv regard to certificate excursion business, "the question of adopting harvest excursion rates and the proposi tion to make special rates for state and interstate fairs, expositions, etc. Action on these matters was deferred until tne the next regular meeting. OREGON PACIFIC ROW. A Committee of Bondholders Wiil Enter the Courts. Ni:\v York, July B.— An opposition to the present management of the Oregon Pacific road has appointed a committee of bondholders to reorganize the road, and today the new committee issued a statement charging that the management had issued over $11,000,000 more bonds than was warranted by the mortgage. The mortgage provided that the bonded debt shall be limited to ?25,000 per mile. So far 140 miles have been constructed, calling for the issue of 63,500,000 in bonds. The company, however, has issued $15,000,000 in bonds, and justifies itself by asserting that the line when com pleted will be GOO miles long and that the bond issue on tne system would then be only $25,000 per mile. The bonds, which wens placed at 80, now have no market value and Uie com pany has a floating debt of fWO.OOO. The committee, it is understood, will bring legal proceedings against the officers. GOULD'S FIXE HAND. Its Manipulation as Shown in the Coal Traffic. Chicago, July B.— Western roads are much exercised over their loss of the hard coal traffic from Eastern mines, which seems to have been almost com pletely monopolized by the Missouri Pacific. During the two months from May 10 to June 30 the shipments of coal from the East to Omaha and beyond ag gregated 462 cars, of which 454 cars went over tlie Missouri Pacific, leaving eight for all the other lines. Dining the same period the Missouri Pacific got 308 of the 400 cars destined to .South western points. This coal comes from the JLackawanna mines, in which Jay Gould is interested, and the competi tors of the- Missouri Pacific have no doubt that he is throwing the business to his own road by an advantageous manipulation of the rates. A complaint j is to be made to the board of commis sioners of the Western Traffic associa tion, Promotion That Pays. Cincinnati, July B.— H. £. Hunting ton, general manager of the Newport News & Mississippi Valley railroad, has tendered his resignation, to take effect Sept. 1. On that date lie will assume the duties of assistant general manager of the Southern Pacific railroad, with headquarters at San Francisco. He will servo in that capacity until Jan. 1, when he will become general manager of the Pacific & Oregon divisions of the sys tem. It is said that Mr. Huutington will receive $50,000 per year salary. He is a near relative of C. P. Huntington. Soinjt for $3,000,000. Omaha, Neb., July B.— Suit lias been begun in the United States circuit court by the Kansas & Colorado Pacific rail- ' way against the Fitzgerald <& Mailory j company for S),000,o6o. The petition alleges that the defendants fraudulently obtained control of the road and con verted to their own use money sub scribed by towns and counties in aid of j the road. They ask for an accounting and that the contract giving the deft nd ants certain stocks and bouds be set aside. \p DELICIOUS V Flavoring LAI I aw Id NATURAL FRUIT FLAVORS. Manilla Of perfect purity.
