ASSASSIN CZOLGOSZ.
At 7:12:30 Tuesday morning, Leon
F. Czoigosz. the murderer of President
McKinley, paid the life penalty for his
crime in the electric chair at the Au-
burn. h. Y., state prison.
The prisoner made a brief speech in
the chair. He said he was not sorry
for what he had done, but expressed
regret that he had not seen his father,
The prisoner was given three con-
tacts of electricity before he was nnal-
. ly pronounced . dead. ,
He died unconfessed and unrepent-
ant, spurning the offices of the priests
and cursing them.
He maintained his stolidity to the
last, and there were no signs of phy-
sical collapse. His action was not
that of bravado, nor that which springs
from physical courage; it was simply
the stolidity which is born of indif-
ference.
Of all the men who have sat in the
death chair its terrors seemed to have
had the least effect on Czoigosz.
Half an hour before execution the
prisoner sent for the superintendent
and warden and said:
“I want to make a statement before
you kill me.”
“What do you wish to say, Czol-
gosz?" asked the warden.
“I want to make it when there are
a lot of people present. I want them
to hear me,” sai-. the prisoner.
“Well, you cannot,” said the super-
intendent.
“a hen 1 won’t talk at all,” said the
prisoner sullenly.
SCHLEY CROSS-EXAMINED.
Under Hot Fire of Court Hero of San¬
tiago Remains Proverbially
Cool and Calm.
The cross-examination of Admiral
Schley began Monday before the court
of inquiry, and hardly more than a
third of the ground was covered when
the court adjourned at 4 o’clock. Af¬
ter Admiral Schley concludes two oth¬
er witnesses will be called in his be¬
half, Admiral Barker and Captain
Thomas Borden, The latter was an
officer of the marine corps aboard the
Brooklyn. The judge advocate then
will call his witnesses in rebuttal, of
whom there are understood to be more
thaa fifteen, and it is probable that
Admiral Schley’s counsel will call wit¬
nesses iu surrebuttal.
The crowd present Monday, while
hardly so large as on Friday last when
Admiral Schley told the story of the
battle of Santiago, showed unabated
interest in the proceedings. Nothing
sensational developed, and the only
outburst in the court occurred when
Mr. Raynor. Admiral Schley’s counsel,
objected to a line of inquiry of the
judge advocate designed to criticise
Admiral Schley’s alleged failure to
formulate a plan of battle, with the
declaration that as Admiral Sampson
was In command his junior had no
right to plan an order of battle.
Admiral Schley concluded his direct
examination. which continued only
about ten minutes after the court con-
veiled for the day, with a statement
of the effect of the fire of the respec-
tive fleets at Santiago, showing that
36 per cent of the hits suffered by the
enemy were scored by the Brooklyn's
five-inch guns, while his ship received
70 per cent of the hits from the Span-
tsh ships.
He changed his resolution, however,
and did break the rule of silence .n the
death chamber.
Czoigosz rested exceedingly well for
a man in the shadow of death. It was
4: 45 o’clock before he finally waked up
aE( l bis cot. His sleep was almost
unbroken throughout the night, and
was restful and refreshing. He did
n0 ^ 5 re ak his silence when he awoke,
nor did he show any indication of fail-
i n » courage.
At a few minutes before 7 the Wit-
nesses were told to quickly follow the
. vardeQ and gtate superintendent of
prisons, and after walking through the
long corridor, took their places silent-
ly beside the death chair in the exe-
C ution room. The iron door leading to
the condemned cells were closed, but
behind it the warden’s assistants were
preparing Czoigosz for death. The
warden waited' uptil the witnesses
were seated, and then made the us-
ual formal declaration that those pres-
ent in the room were merely there as
witnesses to a legal execution of a
murderer, and that under no circum-
stances, no matter what the provoca-
tion, no one was to leave his seat or
make any disturbance. Electrician Da-
vis then put upon the arms of the
chair a bank of twenty-two incandes-
cent electric lamps, and, attaching the
electrical wires, passed the current
through them so that the lights glowed
cut brightly. An assistant, in the
meantime, put the two electrodes,
which were lined with sponges, into
pails of salt water, so as to get them
wet enough to prevent the current
j from burning the victim’s flesh.

WAR ON “COFFIN TACKS”
Georgia House of Representatives
Passes Anti-Cigarette Bill.
The Georgia house of representa-
tivee declared Thursday, by a vote of
109 to 22, that the cigarette must go.
The measure was adopted after a very
brief discussion. It prohibits the man-
ufacture, sale of giving away of cig-
arettes or cigarette papers in the
state.
Another measure of interest passed
by the house so amends the garnish¬
ment laws that all the indebtedness of
the garnishee to the defendant accru¬
ing after the service of the garnish¬
ment. This measure is designed to
get at those who sometimes draw their
salaries before they are due, in order,
it is said, to dodge garnishment pro¬
cess.
The house passed several other gen¬
eral bills of minor importance and af-
ter a session lasting a little over two
hours adjourned for the uay.
The senate session Thursday was a
short one. Anarchy, anarchistic liter-
ature and anarchists will consume
some of the time of that body during
the present session. Two bills were
introduced into the senate Thursday
morning providing for the punishment
of any one exhibiting or attempting to
inculcate in the minds of others eith-
er by word of mouth or literature an¬
archistic ideas. One of these bills
was presented by Senator Sullivan, of
the eighteenth district, and the other
by Senator Bell, of the thirty-ninth dis¬
trict.
Another important bill presented in
the senate was one making miscegen¬
ation a crime in Georgia
ATLANTA'S “COW” HOUSE.
Comes In For Warlike Action on
Part of City Board of Health.
The Atlanta city board of health
has dug up the hatchet and is again
on “ the trail of the alleged and muchly
cussed” and discussed depot.
During a special meeting of the
board a day or two ago the special
depot committee was instructed to
look into the conditions of the toilet
rooms at the old shack.
The members of this committee, in
company with the cky plumbing in-
spector, will visit the carshed , . within ... .
the next few da >’ s t0 make a thorough
inspection of the conditions that now
exist and will report to the board at
tli e next regular meeting,
H 5s reported the board intends in-
structing the city attorney to imme-
! dlately begin suit against the various
railroad companies entering the de-
P ot to compel them to carry out the
promises made in regard to putting in
a new and sanitary flooring for the
shed. To do this work it is estimated
that the roads would have to expend
about $20,000.
NEW PRISON OCCUPANTS.
Judge Newman, at Atlanta, Has First
Guests for Federal Prison.
Five convicted prisoners have been
sentenced by Judge William T. New¬
man to service in the new federal
prison at Atlanta. The men who will
have the honor of being tne first rep¬
resentatives g! their class in the new
building from Georgia are J. H. Han¬
son, convicfee- of illicit distilling, ftf-
teen months; Oscar Burke, convicted
of the same offense, 15 months; Han-
dy Middlebrooks, convicted of coun-
terfeiting, three years; George W.
Clarke violating pension laws, fifteen
months, and David Dupree, convicted
of robbing the mails, fifteen monuis.
Although the prison will hendly be in
shape for the reception of prisoners
until about December 1, persons who
are convicted in the United States
court will be confined in the Fulton
county jail until the prison opens.
OLD LADY SHOOTS NIAGARA.
g ucce eded In a Dare-Devil Feat Never
Before Accomplished.
Mrs. Annie Edson Taylor, 50 years
old, went over Niagara Falls on the
Canadian side Thursday afternoon and
survived, a feat never before accom¬
plished and never attempted except in
the deliberate commission of suicide.
She made the trip in a barrel without
a broken bone, her only apparent in-
jury being a small scalp wound, a
slight concussion of the brain, some
shock to her nervous system and a few
minor bruises.
TAX DODGERS PARALYZED.
Illinois Supreme Court Lands Solar
Plexus Jab on Corporations.
The Illinois supreme court Thursday
morning affirmed the judgment of the
circuit court of Sangamon county in
what is known as the Chicago teach-
era tax case. This, in effect, awards
a writ of mandamus against the state
board of equalization to compel it to
assess the capital stock, including
franchises, of twenty Chicago corpora-
tions, the fair cash value of whose
capital stock. Including franchises,
over and above the value of their tan¬
gible property, is alleged to aggregate
$235,000,000.
