J., Aug. •>.—The gravel pit just outside this place on the line of the Central Railroad, and occu pied by tlie shanties of the Italian la borers employed on the road, was tlie scene of a terrible tragedy last evening, in which two lives were sacrificed and a number of others jeopardized. A woman was at the bottom of it all. Borne years ago a young girl emigrated from Italy, leaving a dejected lover be hind. Slie cauio to New Jersey and readily found employment in the Bound Brook mills, where she met and subse quently married a respectable young Italian workman. At sundown last evening a brother of the lover in Italy visited tlio pit to sat isfy the distant swain that his sweet heart was really lost forever. Bv an unfortunate coincidence tlie eouple met in the same house, and when the indig nant brother upbraided the woman for her faithfulness tlie husband sprang at him and a general fight followed. In the melee, in which a dozen men joined, ftilettos played an awful part, while spades, shovels and axes were wielded with equally terrible effects. Before the police arrived two men lay dead upon the floor of tlie house in w hich the tragedy occurred, while half h dozen others were badly if not fatally injured. The police have already made live arrests, but until an interpreter is engaged the names of the ollenderscan not he secured. Neither the woman, her husband or tile brother who inaugurated tli- bloody kittle were injured in the light, al though all of thorn are under arrest. The two men killed were named Mar- heiio and Farmono. Topsey has Arrived in the Gate City. Special by News Telegram Association. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 5.—The elephant is here!

Topsy, that’s her mime at the present, is under shelter at Grant’s park, and will not appear in public until tlie morning of the 14th— the day of the great midsummer festival. This will be something historic—the festival. It is a trades display the like of which has never been seen in the South. Three hundred floats are already booked for the parade. There are bi cycle races, drills, prizes, and a thous and and one unique features. Tlie elephant, of course, has the place of honor in the parade. KEMMLER KILLED.

Aug. 0.—A little spider bit John MeGrate on the leg a few days ago. Yesterday the limb was terribly swollen, and be raved and frothed, especially wnen water was brought before him. His symptoms are very much like those of hydrophobia, and if he lives it is probable that liis leg will have to he amputated. , Hptcial by News Telegram Association. AuitritN. N.J., August <*.— Kemmler is dead. His. execution |>y electricity took,place Hi is tuoroing at exactly 7:5o o’clock. 1 . I .'Ibis is the first legal execution by electricity that has ever taken place in the world. When, about a year ago, there was enacted a law in New York state providing for the execution of criminals by electricity, there were ob jections from every section of the coun try. Hut the law stood. It was fate that the first, punishment by this mode should he meted niu t<> a man whose crime was diabolically cruel and inhumanly inhuman. Kernmlcr killed his wife. He gave her her death blow with a huge carving knife. Then he hacked away at her body, and brute and cowardly savage that he was, he cut her body into six parts. UK OkSKJtVKll DEATH. Of course Keinmler must expiate this terrible crime— must forfeit liis life. Ilia was tlie first, murder since the new law was enacted, iliscouvictiou in the courts was promptly accomplished, md he was sentenced to die by electric ity. There is no murder in the history of the country whoever had such a light made for him as ha-K aumler. His ease lias gone through all the intermediate twice, i d ra - matirally rescued from death hy “the people of the United Slates” in tlie shape of the habeas corpus of the United States supreme court. Then even the legislature of the State was asked to in tervene by an act abolishing capital pun ishment, but everything failed. THE EXECUTION. FROM ATLANTA. THE BANNER EDITOR WRITES FROM THE GATE CITY. And Tells of the Alliance—Whon He First Heard of It—And its Great Strength Now. Fverybody in Auburn seemed to know that tlie execution would Like place this morning. The officers and deputies al- owed hy law only were present. The law directs that newspapers must no. publish tlie details of the execution. Among the deputies, however, was a representative of the United l’ress, and Lhe United Press papers ibis morning print the full particulars. There is little to tell. Kemmler slept soundly and well. lie was aroused early this morning, and bade make ready for ex ecution. He. was neatly dressed. For a short while, kneeling and bowed down, he was ip communion with his God. At seven o’clock he was told that the time had arrived. He was con ducted to the death chair. Seated there, tlie apparatus was quickly and quietly adjusted. The button which applied the electricity was pressed. In an in stant Kemmler was dead. There was no shudder, no struggle. Editorial CoiivsjHimte ce Athens aimer.] Atlanta, Aug. 7.—Last evening I left tin: ( lassie precincts of Athens lo visit the capital of our State—study its politics, aud see and talk with Mie new men v\ln» have been solicited by the far mers to lake control of ils public affairs. Never, in lhe history of our country, has there been such a great and pe.aee- lul revolution Wrougnt in poli.ics .is by the Alliance movement in Georgia and many other States. Well do 1 remember when i lirst heard this mime, before which the shrewde t poliliciaus have succ.unilied, a d the reigning powers trembled. ■ wa.~ o t with some friends one day at Gum Spring, when my old friend Air. John Nieliolssaiuthar.il man was traveling through tlie country, organizing lm ges of what lie called tlie “Farmer’s Alli ance,” staling that he and a few ».f liis neighbor? had become members, and he i bought it i good tiling. At tir?i, few had any confidence in idle success of this lliauee movement, l'iie idea ol gathering into a formidable ■Mild lhe dependent and oppressed lar- ■ .i.ors seemed but. t .e dlealn of all Hut.. 1 But before many months ha I claps •■! , die Alliance begin to siiow its po ,--r. Its first great work was i.o demand a t more equitable divi ion of pn fits from lhe merchants, aud the result was a living iu time prices of 25 percent, or more. It next met, aud overcame the jute I rust, one of the strongest and most powerful combinations in America. Then tlie All'auce hegnn to clean out tlie Augean stable-', of polities, and pro ceeded to measure candidates for office wit,a their yard-stick. What a wail was iaised, from one end of the country to tlie other, when the farmers began to •rganize and demand a hand in the en rol of the political affairs of the eouii- ry, and tlie enactment of laws looking o their interest and protection ! The Alliance was charged with trying ;o break up the Democratic party—with .in oatli-boiiml organization beside which the old know-nothing party was .1 political angel—with being lead anil controlled by demagogues and trick sters—ami hundreds oi other such slan ders. But the Alliance pursued the oven tenor of its way. So far from breaking iqi the democratic party, it simply swallowed this honored bid organiza- ion, and gave it fresh strength and power. Old useless political fossils, hat had fed aud fwiteue . for genera- lons on the public treasury, w r apped oft', and belter men given their places. To-day, Georgia is under the poiiri- ■al control of the Farmer’s Alliance, 1'hry will have a Governor, control of lie legislature, every State Mouse ofti- cer, and a majority id' congressmen. And yet this great aud peaceful rev- ■ iution has not overturned our country >r wrecked tlie democratic party. The world still moves, and our government rolls serenely on. The Alliance, while r.hey > let in secret session—as they had i right to do—fought their ballots in open day light, and won tiieir victory with democratic b illots—yes, with bal lots; “Bilent as tlie snowflake when it falls upon the mountain, but as terrible as tlie lightning of the goods.” T. L. G. ‘We.’ AT BISHOP. The Sunday-School Celebration there Yesterday. The Sunday-School Celebration at Bishop yesterday was a great success. it was a union celebration and a num ber of Sunday schools were included. A special train was run from Athens, sad besides a large crowd going on this, numbers weut in vehicles and on horse- baok thr- ugh the country. It is said that there were 4.000 people 0, » the grounds. Those who attended report a splendid time, aud say it was a magnificent ccl ehration. A small difficulty was reported be tween two young men, but was of little consequence. MR. BURRELLYERBY A Wen Known and Popular Ci Passes Away.

The Democrats Have Swept the En tire State. Birmingham, August 5.—The indica tions point to a sweeping Democratic victory in all parts of the State, there being no doubt as to the result in any of the counties which the Democrats claimed. Jones, the Democratic nomi nee, has carried Walker, the home of Long, the Republican candidate, by a fair majority; ou the other hand, the Republicans claim Walker for their state ticket by a small majority. The Republicans to-day olaim to have news trom Lawrence county giving that county to Long by a small majori ty. The Democrats say that Lawrence is close and an official count only can set tle it. The Republican committee here have telegrams from Chambers, county claiming that the vote polled gives the Republican state ticket a majority, but that the I), moorats are trying to change the result by throwing out Republican tickets* In Shelby county a fierce fight was waged for representative.in the legisla ture. three candidates being in the field ndependent democrat and The vote is close, and it is yet to say who is elected. The election was unusually quiet throughout the State, no disturbance of importance being reported except from one point where a threatened trouble was settled without bloodshed and with out calling out the military. The Editorial From tlie Jacks >n Herald. The editor of the Herald was married last Thursday night, and the editorial “we” is now the ascendant. We. are now we in reality; in fact, we are a great deal weer than ever before. Our readers will expect us to say something of this affair, but we hope they will ap preciate our situation and not expeet too much. Just imagine yourself writ ing your own obituary. There are a thousand beautiful things we could say of the bride, hut we wouldn’t know how to begin, and would probably make a muss cf it—so we would rather not. It isn’t often that a man gets away with a woman in a square transaction; but in this instance we feel that we have carried away the honors. What was her name? Her name at present—you can guess it. Her name before—it is a thing of the past; the recording angel has run his pen through a name in liis book and written another one instead. Thus the idea of the poet is realized : “What’s in a name? That which we call a ruse. By auy other name would smell as sweet.” At)tjURN, N. Y„ August <T.—With the rising of to-day’s sun William Kemmler passed into history as the lirst man ex ecuted by electricity. At 7:45 the ex ecutioner touched the lever, completing the circuit. Instantly Keinmler’s arms pushed out as far as the straps allowed ; tlie lingers opened and closed; the body tiffened and then all was still, 'lhe cm rent was au irregular volt metre fly ing back and fourth between 800 and 1,300 volts. At the end of seventeen seconds the current was broken. In a second the chest relaxed and something like a gasp was given forth. Every one was sure that Kemmler was not vet dead. Drs.SpitZkaaiul McDonald look ed at Kemmler a second, and then gave a motion to apply the current again. The executioner closed tlie lever. The same rigidity ot the body was seen as before. Froth began coming from the mouth. The circuit was oroken several times; each break being followed hy re laxation. LEFT YESTERDAY. A Boy Burned to Death. Chicago, Ill., Aug. 5.—While four- Ulark ^ ] J . kampkin Bas returned from year-old Johnny Kruder was playing with matches iu his father’s girder in the rear of 328 North street, this after noon, he set fire to the hay, aud like a flash the barn was turned into a flam ing furnace. Johnny attempted to es cape but stumbled and fell and the flames burned him to a cinder. The tire spread to the adjoining property, and before it was put out several dwell ings were destroyed. Loss, $ 10,000; insurance about $5,000. The Delegates to the Gubernatorial Convention. Messrs. G. F. Hunnicutt and D. A. Anthony left yesterday afternoon for Atlanta. They are Clarke’s delegates to the Gubernatorial Convention, and will hand in the county’s choice for the va rious officers. The only two contests of note are those for Attorney General aud Com missioner of Agriculture. In the first of these there can be no doubt of Mr. Lester getting the office, in spite of the confidence exhibited by his opponent. For Commissioner there is much room for speculation. As it stands Henerson claims 121 votes, Nesbitt 103, and Hunnicutt 46. With this standing there can be no nomination, and some changes will have to be made. Henderson and Nesbitt have made a a bitter fight against each other, and each would rather see Hunnicutt nomi nated than the other. From this fact Hunnicutt has the best chance of the three for the nomination, and it is be lieved by many that Henderson’s coun ties will go to him, after enough ballots to show that Henderson can’t get it. This belief is strenthened by the re port of a trade between Hunnicntt and Nesbitt. This report says that Hunnicutt will come out iu Nesbitt’s favor, and accept the positiou of Assistant Commissioner There may be no truth in this report but the Uenuerson men think there is aud to prevent it and defeat Nesbit they will go for Hunnicutt. Col. E. P. Upshaw has returned from a professional trip tc* Jefferson., A large party of Athenians will leave for Tallulah to-day. and l>e present at the Indian entertaiment there to-mor row. A DESPERATE LOVER. ANOTHER ACCOUNT—A TION. BRUTAL EXECU- THE CURRENT BROKEN. At the end of four and a half minutes the curreut was finally broken. Keiu- mler’s chest slightly collapsed and he was dead beyond a doubt. After half an hour the electrodes were removed. The hair on his head was not burned and-there were no marks on the back. Dr. McDonald, president of the state luuacy commission, said after the event: “The state ought never to have made the warden execute criminals. Each tune it will be the same way. They ought to have special men, experts un der employ. As long as we have capi tal punishment it should not degener ate into mere experiment. U ndonbted- lv Kemmler was alive after the first shock, though not suffering.” Dr. Shrady, General Grant's old phy sician, said: “The execution was brutal; worse I think than 'hanging. It probably was not painful, but the failure tokill at the first application was barbarous,” He Plans to Abduct a Fourteen-Year- Old Girl and Marry Her. San Francisco, Cal., A tig 0.—A bold ■ attempt of abduction came to light to- j day. It is the story of tlie attempt of a ! politician's son to capture a 14-year-old I daughter of Capitalist Robert Hamil ton. Selecting two worthless characters from about tlie water-front, Henry vlertciis dressed them iu now clothes from l.eul to foot anil supplied them with ready money, lie then unfolded j ids plans. The first was to secure the I girl’s Signature to a marriage contract I under guise of obtaining subscriptions ' for the Native Sous’ celebration, which ! is now occupying much public atten- I tion. Ttiis failed because Miss Hamil ton refused to contribute. Next he im aged a tug, and under the pretext of carrying the girl toiler father, who was tube represented as ill ou board a ship in tlie harbor. Merteus proposed to take his coveted bride to sea and ioree her into a marriage ceremony, which he arranged to have the captain perform. A fortunate hitch i» the plans prevented their consummation,and -henfitwas that young Mertens staggered; his water- frout accomplices by his final proposi tion. He proposed to get a haek. cap ture the giri on the street, muffle her head in a bag, chloroform her. hand cuff lior and carry her ofl with a rush. Everybody was in reaciness, hand-cuffs, chloroform, gag, bag and all, but the audacity of the scheme took the breath away from Barnes and Wilson, the other conspirators. - Wilson thought it was pretty warm, and disclosed the scheme to the girl’3 father, who will hereafter keep his daughter 6afely guarded and will probably punish Mer tens. Female Smugglers Detected. New York, Aug. 5. —Three women passengers on the Alaska, whose names the Custom officials refused to make public, were relieved of a quantity of silk and cloth which they attempted to smuggle pa9t the inspectress by conceal ing it iu their bustles. One of them was placed under arrest, as her ease was considered a very flagrant one, and the Custom officials believe ..that infor mation can be obtained from her. A JEWISH DIVORCE.

Jeffersonville, lud., August 6.— In the office of the county jail yester day afternoon, there took place a Jew ish divorce, something that never was witnessed in this city, much to the amusement of a small crowd of specta tors. Abraham Cohen, in jail awaiting trial for horse stealing, was some months ago divorced from his wife,Ma ry Cohen, on her application in Louis ville. As the proceeding of the law did not annul the marriage contract accord ing to their doctrine and religion, it was necessary ft> ^perform the divorce according to the orthodox method. The proceedings, which were performed hy J. Finglestein, a rabbi of Cincinnati, assisted by M. Isenberg. of Louisville, were novel and curious. t ehen and his wife walked into the office together. In bis right hand he rabbi held a document written in He brew characters, and a Hebrew bible, from which he read alternate passages j to the man, who repeated them after him. The document, which was sup posed to be the divorce, was doubled up and the rabbi turned upon the woman aud, after going through the ceremouy, to which the wife listened, weeping and with her hands raised betore her, lie threw threw the paper into her hands, which she clasped upon it. The artie'e then handed to the rabbi, who took it and with a sharp knife severed it in twain, at the same time handing oue piece to the womad and one to the man. This ceremony can be performed only by certain rabbis, of whom ttfQfe are only six in the country. Leave St Augustine via J. St. A. A H. R. R. R...
