granite cutters of tholr sympathy and asslst-
m anca when necessary, and action on their
part will roll tho number of men out of work
0 beyond 100,000.

1 to prove very effective Is that there may bu
I B. stoppage soon ot all tho granlto that cornea

that any stono will bo loaded on tho cars at

IIKLAYINU OU) 1MENE.T.
Commissioner GUroy's contemplated action
to temporarily appease the Indignation of
property-ownors and merchants by com
pelung contractors to lelaytho old paving
stones is not causing tho stUUng pavers any
uneasiness.
j "That wen't hurt us any." said committee
man McNalr this morning. "It will only
make matters worse for the contraciors, for
tho work will bo poorly done, an a matter of
course. The streets vv til boon bu In u n orsu
tondttlon than before.
"As to Mr. Pierre's threat of bringing In
Italian pavers, wo don't glvo that report uny
more thought than wo did that about the
German pavers. Tho Immigration llepart-
Iiuentwlll not allow any contract, labor lu
pass through without our consent, so where
will tbo Italians como Iroiii? Why haven't
they been brought Into use before
" Mr. llereo Is reported ns b.iv lng that pav
ing does not requlro skilled labor. Tho fact
that pavers aro paid irum m.:,o to 6 a day
proves that assertion to bo falne. About ono
uian In twenty becomes proilclotit.
"As to thestriko clause In tho contiacls.
'1 hero Is not such a thing as a strlko clause In
the paving buslnes.,. Tho contractor ma
havo a strlko clause In their contructa with
the builders. They may havo been consplr
log agalust tho (merest ot tho builders a lung
while."
Hcgardlng the la lng ot stono lor tho Third
aenue cable road Mr. McNalr said that It
would not bo toucned, as It was Combine
stone.
ULOCklMl THE KTIII.KTS.
" Now as to the blocking up of streets."
continued Mr. .McNalr. " II Commissioner
(illioj was making any exertion In tho 1m- (
teicsl of the public he would demand that the
I Buicau of Bncum bianco remove tho ob
structing material. Certainly the coutrac-.
tors have no moro rights than property
owners. "It has como to a questlou now as to I
whether tho Dcpaitinent of Public Works;
will tnvor the taxpayers or the combine." i
commissioner Gllroj bald this morning :
" I havo not decided yet how I will proceed. '
It Is the contractors' duty to put tho streets
In proper condition, but thoy can't accom
plish Impossibilities. 1 understand that
Exocutlvo Committeeman McNalr, of the
strikers, has said that tho committee will1
not even permit tho strlkcis to touch tho old ,
granite blocks." J
" Will you order tho Department to do tho
work?" I
" I don't know what I shall do, until I hear
definitely Iroin tho btrike Committee, other- I
wise the situation Is unchanged."
STKIERRS' IIIUKVANCK l.Xl'I.ilNRII.
Secretary Grant, of tho Paving cutters'
Union, this morning throw some additional ,
light on the position taken by the
paers and their associates. Ho said:
" If tho public could appreciate the
many evils we have done away with by
organizing and protecting oursch cs, It would
moro readily understand why we nro so
strongly opposed tq giving way to tho con
tractors In this matter ot signing tho yearly
scale ot wages Jan. l instead of May 1, as we
now do.
" Flvo and six J ears ago, when tho custom
of signing contracts on tho former date was
In vogue, tho contractors nad things nil their
own way. They could dlctato their own
terms In tho Wlntor, the men being poor and
work scarce. Wo signed lor starvation wages
and didn't receive a cent of pay from Nov. 1
to Juno 1.
"When wo wero paid off It was In trade
th'kets which wero good only nt tho Associa
tion's stores Wo had to pay their pt Ices for
tho necessities ot life or had to Uvoattho
Association boarding-houses.
" lly organising wo have overcomo those
abuses, and do you blame us for not wanting
to return to them? a hat's what we might
have to do If we gavo In now. Our families
and homes, as well as our wages, are at stako
In this contest."
John Plircp, of tho Paving contractors'
Kxecutlve committee, was busy at bK ofllce
In Temple Court this morning, sending and
answering telegrams to New Kngland quarry
owners.
"bo far as 1 am aware," he said to an
Evkmno Would reportor, " thero Is nothing
new as far as we aro concerned. Wo nro Just
as determined as ever to hold our own If It
takes a long tlmo to do It.
" Wo aro shipping stone to this city, un
loading and delivering It, and weeaubco no
icason why wo should not continue doing
this for somo tlmo to come."
MATTHEW DAIItU's CONT11ACTS.
Public 'Works commissioner Gllroy says
that he shall bo In no haste to award tho
paving contracts In this city for which bids ,
wero opened J cstcrday. As stated in yester
day's Kvkmno Would, Contractor Matthew i
llalrd bid lowest on four contracts. He now
holds contracts for tho work on West One
llundrod and Nineteenth street and West
One Hundred and Twenty-third street, and
his men, who nio hired by sub-contractors
Moran tc Low, nro tho only men at work in
tho city on new stone.
I Mr. llalrd employs nono but union men In
his quanlcs or on his contiacts, and his
quarries aro not Included among those whero
men nro locked out. As a result there Is no
embargo on the stono produced thero and no
strlko among his workmon here.
'Ihcse uondltlons, added to tho fact that his
bids wcro tho lowest, render It extremely
probable. It Is said, that ho will bo awarded
tho contracts aud can go right ahead with the
work, thus affording employment to a largo
number of tho men wuo aro now on stilko
from other Jobs.
CKMMSUED MONUMENT WORk.
To a reporter, Mr. Ill own, of tho firm of
Drown, McAllister & Co., said that a largo
number of monuments and tombstones in
tended to be put In placo uud decorated on
Memorial Day were still unfinished In the
yards In this city, and, owing to tho strike,
could not be completed, and thus many peo
ple would bo disappointed. In his own yard,
he said, theio were seven or eight such, and
he estimated that the number lu tho city
would not bo tar from -'5o.
.Mr. llrown pointed out one btone bearing
this Inscription:
Our dear parents. Julii.s Wcrtheiin; born in
l'rsuktort, Garnisur. Died Sopt 'iT.lBT'i.aged
Thu lemalnder of the inscription was
chalked on tho stone, ni.d Mr. Drown bald It
coiila bo finished lu a coupio of hours, but that
tho bttlko pmcnttU.
At tlio stilkcis' headqu.utcis Is was said
that this ht.ueinout was entirely misleading.
The men In tho monument yards, it was r alii,
had been klu-n permission to finish all un
completed w ork on w hleli they wero engaged,
but wero piohlbltcd from beginning an)
new Jobs In which New linglann granlto Is
used.
Comrade I- J. Atkinson, of tho G. A. It.
Mcinotlul Day committee, stated that, solar
as ho could learn, all monument work con.
traded lor would bo ready lor Memorial Day.
Pojvibly mui might bo delayed on the llrook.
ljn.Meim.ilal Arch, but that fact would not
Intci fcro with the day's ceremonies.

The electric current was turned luto the
boJy four times, each contact being brief.
Thu physician in charge believed that better
results would be obtained In this way than
with two l in,' contacts. The complete time i
of contact was nny seconds.
Tlce slept Irom It) lo VI o'clock last night.
At midnight he was awakened to be shaved.
He had been told early In the evening by his
spiritual advisers that his lite would be takon

rays over tho high giuy wall and through tho
three-barred windows of the death.chamber
facing the east.
There Is a supprcseJ excitement In the
prison tifllce. Warden Duislou enters and
addressing tho gentlemen assembled ho tells
them that the physician In charge has de
cided lu make four short emmets instead of
two long ones. Ho explain tor the benefit of
those wliu never havo seen an electrtcuttou
how the bed) will pull forward as tho current
Is turned ou and settle do n as the contact Is

death chamber. There are chairs and benches
for them to sit on. A sickly prison tdor tills
the room, but a Hood of sunlight comes In tho

the witnesses. Thu ugiy chair alone pre

The execution ot Tleo canmt le Improved

doubtedly the best method. Thi ro was
nothing revolting In this case.
11 In tho execution of Tlce there vvereabso.
lutelv no retlev movements from beginning
to end, asldo from the rigidity of the body
produced by the making and breaking of the
current. I was one of the first to advocate

Once-Wealthy Cuban. !
An ambultnce was called vory tarty this 'U

at Third avenue and blxty-elghth street, lor M
a woman who was Insane. The surgeon won '
aocompauled the ambulance from tne Prf - H
byterlan Hospital took the woman to Belle- U
vue Hospital, where the was placed In the In M
sane pavilion. No little dlfllculty was ex- M
perlehCfd In getting the woman into the am Jt
bulance and out at the hospital. M
The pollco were ublo to learn very little fl
about the womau. wnose name was given al H
Amelia del Oardo and whose age waa stated to M
be :is years. At Ilellcvue Hospital the woman U
said that she was born In Cuba and that she M
was a teacher and unmarried. She was placed M
In the Insane pavilion. B
Sister Irene, who is at the head ot the New fl
York Foundling Asylum, was unwilling to B
talk much about Miss del Oardo. The woman HJ
came of anno ramily, should, and being In H
reduced circumstances had been given s hJ
home in the Institution. Of late she badbetn M
aclngquccrly, audasshe was evidently be- M
coming Insane and might grow violent and H
I dangerous It was deemed advisable to have H
her removed to tin hospltaL sister Irene nj
added that tor the fake of the woman her- Hjb
self and her connections she didn't care to H
I say anything further. M
I It was learned from other Bourcee that the Jt
Insane woman Is the daughter, ot Cor-
1 sanao del (lardn, a Cuban, whose fam- H
lly was once wealthy. It Is said that M
she ran away from home when she, was M
1 a young girl and that her father had never saS
forgiven her ror this wlldnesa. " M
Friends of the family la this country took j
I care other, and after a time ihe was placed 'M
Inacvnren' at Morrlsanla, where she re- !H
' malned several years, she then went to M
Havana a lew yearp, and On&U returned to M
(his city three or four years ago. Sbe was H
without means, and friends jtho had H
known her from childhoMl gave 'U
her assistance. slice she i wes a tM
girl she had been iroubUO"' with ,H
cataracts of the eyes, and she b-camo almost '
blind about two y ears ugo. Although special-' H
lsts operated on her eyes several times It did H
I not seem to help her. 'jH
I .She desired to become a S"hool teacher, but H
I In her condition, half blind as sbe was, no one M
want'd to employ her. Through thelofluence Jl
of friends .Sister Irene gave her a home In tho H
Foundling Asylum about a year and a halt jH
ago. and she had been there ever since H
within a few weeks she has shown H
signs ot becoming Insane, and she H
got so bad that Sister Irene H
notified her friends that it would be best to H
take her to u hospltaL hho became violent jB
and threatened to kill Sister Irene. sH
The other bisters in the Foundling Asylum ,H
bcame alarmed, nnd rjlstcr Irene ar- H
ranged to see Miss del Uarda's friends H
to-dAj- and drclde what was to be IH
done with her. Last night she made some H
further threats and created a scene, which H
resulted in sister Irene ctlllng for an am- jH
bulance aud having ner taken away. H

i is President. He admitted, however, that H
