Beside a fern-fringed, dreamy brook
We sat and fished, my love and I;
I held the pole and played the hook.
She sat and watohed, close by.
We spoke of love, ah I idle dream 1
Cupid was there to slyly guide
The line that floated with the stream.
While we sat side by side.
We fished that day in Love's glad tide,
I played the hook and held the pole;

Mine was the lover's role.
In Life's stern stream we, as before.

I Wonder Why.
" I wonder why this world's good things
Should fall in such unequal shares ;
Why some should taste of all the Joys
And others only feel the cares?
I wonder why the sunshine bright
Should fall in paths some people tread.
While others shiver In the eh ade
Of clouds th at gather overhead.
I wonder why the trees that hang
So full of luscious fruit should grow
Only where some may reach and eat
While others faint and thirsty go?
Why should sweet flowers bloom for some.
For others only thorns be found?
And some grow rich on fruitful earth.
While others till but barren ground?
" I wonder why the hearts of some
O'erflow with Joy and happiness.
While others go their lonely way
Unblessed with aught of tendernoss I
I wonder why the eyes of some
Should ne'er be moistened with a tear,
While others weep from morn till night,
Their hearts so orushed with sorrow hero'
Ah ! well; we may not know indeed
The whys, the wherefores of each life !
But this we know there's One wno sees
And watches us through joy or strife.
Each life Us mission here fulfills.
And only He may know the end.
And loving Him, we may be strong
Through storm or runshlne He may send.'

Murders She Belonged to th Depraved

Greatest Kiollnmenl Travail.
London, July 17. "Jack the Ripper"
has been at work again in Whitechapel.
At an early hour this morning a police
man was passing along Castle alloy, a nar
row lane in the worst quarter of White
chapel and oloso to where the other victims
of "Jack the Ripper" were discovered,
when he noticed the body of a woman lying
iu the doorway. He turned on his dark
lantern and found that the woman's throat,
cut almost from ear to ear, was still bleed
ing. On closer examination he discovered that
the woman was dead. Terrible gashes had
been cat across her stomach, but not
through her petticoats.
The dead woman's entrails were strewn
about the passage and thick clots of blood
bespattered the door.
The horribly mutilated body was convey
ed to the Commercial Road Police Station,
where a physician, who had examined the
remains of the victims of "Jack the
Ripper," stated that he had no doubt that
this latest murder had been committed by
the same hand.
The dead woman was probably about
forty years of age. She evidently belonged
to the same "unfortunate" class of which
"Jack's" former victims were members.
Although a number of people knew her
by sight none could tell her name or even
say where she lived.
The police are once mora left absolutely
withkt Any clew.
The greatest excitement prevails here,
and everyone is anxiously waiting for
"Jack the Ripper" to issue another pro
nunoiamento. NO ELECTION AT OKLAHOMA.
The Mayor and His Marshal Carried Off

Oklahoma, July 17. The election for the
now city charter opened in time, but the
Mayor and his Marshal went around to
oaoh voting place, seized the ballot-boxes,
and ordered the voters to disperse. The
two men were accompanied by an officer of
the army aud uo resistance was offered.
The aotion of the Mayor is being loudly de
nounced. The advocates of the new charter
claim that the military and pseudo city offi
cials combined cannot prevent the election
taking place to-day, though it is doubtful
if an election is again attempted on tho
charter question.

Pittsbcro, ifcnly 17. The English syndi

but refused to soil for that price, claiming
that they could in no other business get so
large a return for their money. It is ex

FOR KEMMLER'S LIFE
Testimony of Electrical Ex
perts Before tbe Keferee.
THE EFFORTS TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
Various Opinions as to How Much Light
ning Man Can Stand,
Staying by Kleotricily Pronounced an
Endless and Painless Death Another
Expert Says He Does Not Know of an
Electrlo Current that Could be Consid
ered Absolutely Fatal liurko Cochran's
Opinion of tho I-aw.
New York, July 17. The reference
whether the new method of execution by
electricity is a cruel and unconstitutional
one was continued to-day in the presence
of an audience of Interested electrical
experts.
Dr. Frederick Paterson was the first
witness called. He claimed to be a special
ist of nervous diseases. Im some coses
when he had cut tbe dogs open after they
had been experimented on by expert Brown
the heart beat for 80 minutes. This
he said was no indication of life. In these
experiments in Columbia College the wit
ness stated that some of the dogs seemed
to Buffer pain. This was not noticeable
with those performed on iu Edison's labor
atory. Ho was confidant that the accurate
resistance could be measured at any mo
ment. J. W. Noble, an expert connected with
the Westinghouse Electrio Company, was
next recalled. He related his experience
with a dynamo generating a force of 1,050
volts, the same as that on the State execu
tion machine. One day while tending the
machine he accidentally fell and his hands
came in contact with the poles. The result
was that he received a severe shock. His
hands were burned and tbe skin came off,
leaving them sore for weeks. The only
physical effect experienced was extreme
nervousness for several hours.
In the opinion of Mr. Noble the Westing
house machine might be increased with
safety 200 or 800 volts. Beyond that It
would be dangerous. He did not know of
any electrical current that could be consid
ered absolutely fatal.
Mr. Noble said that from experiments he
had tried Instead of the resistance lower
ing with a serios of measurements it in
creased. Bourke Cock ran, who is counsel for
Kemmler, and for the electric lightning
company which objects to the use of its
current for death-dealing purposes, declines
to discuss what he will do in case the doath
is proved to bo cruel and uncertain. Mr.
Cockran says that, if It is so proved, the
law will be unconstitutonal, as the consti
tution states that criminals shall be put to
death, but not by unnecessarily cruel
means. In this case the law of banging
will bo revived, because the preseut law
will be as if never passed. Criminals will be
hanged as has been the oustom.
Mr. Cockran thinks that this agitation of
the question of the legal deatb, the uncer
taiuty of the eleutricial appliance and the
public opposition to the hanging process
will tend toward tho abolition of the doath
penality entirely.
Mr. Cockran stiys that there is no doubt
that electricity will kill certain men, but not
all men. It has been argued that if the cur
rent is made powerful enough there will
bo no uncertainty as to the death. Mr
Cockran says that his investigations prove
that it depends entirely upon the resistance
offered by tho subject. Cases are ou record
where persons have handled wires which
carried hundreds of amperos of electricity,
when the experts say that half an ampere is
sufficient to causo death under ordinary
circumstances.
ALARM AT CARBON DALE.
The liottom May Fall Out of the Towu at
Any Moment.
Carbondale, Pa., July 17. It looks now
as if the bottom might drop out of thii
town and let it down an inconvenient dis
tance. Ou Saturday a farm hand was engaged
harvesting tho grain orop on the farm of T.
J. Lee when the earth suddenly gave way
and three of the four horses attached to
the reaper upon which he was seated sank
into the chasm.
The reaper and one of the wheel horses
remained on the brink of the cave-in, while
the other animals were firmly held by the
earth which closed in upon them, The coal
which underlaid these lands was removed
years ago, and these cave-ins occur as the
wood props which supported tho roof rock
give way.
Tho opening made in the surface by this
cave is 25 feet long by 13 leet in width, and
the greatest depth will probably reach 15
leeu
There is much alarm felt among the vil
lage residents over the possibility of their
homes being swallowed up or at least
wrecked by these sudden caves. There is
also danger to the tracks of the Delaware
& Hudson Company's railroad, which runs
directly over the seat of this trouble. The
surface disturbances usually occur at night,
a cave rarely taklug place during the day
time.
Once in a while the bottom falls out of a
cellar without interfering with the founda
tion walls. About a year ago a miser living
near the Lee farm lost sixty bushels of
potatoes and the product of his cabbage
garden by a fall directly under his dwell
ing. The cave-in had not disturbed his
slumbers, and he knew nothing of what
had occurred until he opened the cellar
door in the morning.

CRIDQE HAS THE ORDER.
Authorised by the Referee to Pay Sullivan
the 8 takes.
New York, July 17. The whereabouts of
J ohu L. Sullivan seems to excite almost as
much interest as the fight which occurred a
week ago. If one believes implicitly in the
stories from Chioago, the Big Fellow is
enjoying the salubrious breezes of the lake,
while engaged in his old-time occupation of
painting the town. But the accounts from
tho 'Windy City are doubted by some, and
there are those who believe that the tales
of midnight carousals were sent out for a
purpose. What that purpose is can only
be imagined, but it is asserted that
the originators of the scheme have a bis
exhibition tour in progress and that at the
proper moment the champion will come
forth from his country retreat, and by the
modesty of his actions give the lie to the
calumnies which have been circulated dur
ing the past few days. If this is the scheme
it is a most elever one, and the reaction in
tne sentiment of the Dublin at laree will be
wholly in his favor.
It was stated last niarht that Sullivan was
in Brooklyn stopping at Charlie Johnston's
house. Another authority said that he was
iu New Jersey, another that he was in New
Rochelle and still another that he was in
Canada.
Fllzpatrlok Orders the Money Paid.
New Orleans, July 17. Referee Fitz
patrlck has telegraphed Stakeholder Cridge
at New York to pay over the money to the
Sullivan party. Fltzpatrick, Duffy and
others will go to Purvis to morrow and give
Dan to appear in November for trial. Mr.
Fitzpatrick says Gov. Lowry treated him
very pleasantly in their interview yester
day, but expressed his intention to make a
thorough test of the law. Mr. Fitzpatrick
advises all connected with the flarht to sur
render themselves to the authorities as he
did and avoid unnecessary trouble, as the
Governor will be sure to reach them any.

that this is an exceptional meeting, he

Jersey City, N. J., July 17. Mrs. Mary
Brady, of No. 236 Van Horn street, is a
"common scold" according "to a verdict
rendered by a Jury in the Hudson County
Court of sessions yesterday. It is the first
time in that county that a jury has pro
nounced a woman a public nuisance bo
cause of the volubility of her tongue. Un
der common law the penalty was ducking
in a pond. The jury deliberated for five
minutes and found Mrs. Brady guilty as
charged. She was remanded for sentence.
Jersey's Treasury Filling Up.
Trenton, N. J., July 17. Over $150,000
of corporation taxes have been recently

in better condition than it has been for
some time. The deficiency of $350,000 is
still unprovided for, and will cause much
inconvenience before the year is out unless
the Morris and Essex road should conclude
to pay up its back taxes. The State au
thorities are still of the opinion that the
next Legislature will have to impose a
State tax.

W1L.T.. PLAY TO EMPTY lrNCIIES.
Mr Varncll Will Explain Ills Case
In Ecltiibiira.
London, July 17.
Now that the council for tho Farnellitea
havo withdrawn from the field it looks as
though the Parnoll Commission would play
to empty bonches for tho rest of the season.
When air Charles Russell and his col
leagues finished their statements to the
court, and walked out of the room they
were followed by three fourths of the spec
tators present for whom the further pro
ceedings had lost all interest.
Mr. Parnell is anxious to havo his own
cross examination before the Commission
done with so that he may be left with clean
hands when the thne comes for Mm to go
to Edinburgh to accept the freedom of the
city. But Attorney-General Webster is evi
dently determined that Mr. Parnell shall
not bo left free to pitch into the Commis
sion when he gets to Edinburgh, and so,
having obtained a postponement of the
oross examination, he proposes to keep Par
nell dancing attendance upon the Commis
sion at his own pleasure. It is not likely
however that this piece of malice on the
part of the Attorney-General will be of any
avail. The ceremony at Edinburgh will
prove too good an opportunity for a caus
tic arraignment of the Commission, and
though Mr. Parnell himself, may be legally
estopped from criticizing a court before
which he is, by this trick, kept as a wit
ness, there will be nothing to prevent
nis giving utterence to his in
dignation through any one of tho Irish
orators who will accompany him on his
trip. Whatever Mr. Parnell has to say on
thai occasion will be said by Mr. Justin
McCarthy or Mr. William O'Brien, but it
will bo well understood by all concerned,
that though the voice is the voice ol Jacob
the hand will be the hand of Esau.
A Sharp Summons to Boulnnger.
Paris, July 17. The trial of General
Boulanger has been definitely fixed for Au
gust 10 and MM. Rochefort and Dillon as
well as Boulanger have been summoned to
appear to place themselves under the Juris
diction of the court within ten days. In the
event of their failure to do so within
twenty days they are warned that they will
be outlawed and all their property in France
will be summarily confiscated and will re
main so until they surrender themselves to
be dealt with as the law directs.
Lightning Prostrated a King.
Berlin. July 17. The physicians to King
Charles of Wurtemberg announce that the
King sustained no permanent injury
through his prostration by a bolt ef light
ning last Sunday. The King was watching
a thunder storm from the veranda of the
Castle of Friendrlchshafen when a light
ning bolt descended and buried itself4ia the
ground a short distance away. The violence
of the 'shock prostrated the King, who lay
unconscious for some minutes.
A Disastrious Woolen Failure.
Norwich, Conn., July 17. The Versailles
Woolen Company, the largest manufactur
