Tragedy at the Gravel Pit.
Bound Brook, N. 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.

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.

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,

There is no murder in the history of

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.”

VOTING IN ALABAMA.
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

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.

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

Salesman—There is no doubt about its being much better; it is a wonderful improvement.
It bakes everything so much nicer, and the meats are not dried up like they are in tho old
fashioned tight ovens. Why. a steak can be broiled in that oven as perfectly as over a charcoal
lire, and tho natural Juices of the meat, which make it so appetizing, will all bo retained. It la

An Unusual Ceremony Performed at
Jeffersonville, Ind.
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.
