ALBANY WEEKLY HERALD: SATURDAY, JUNE i 1893.
HUSTLINGFORTHE HAUL
Of the Piping for the Water
works.
AHK.Vr Cl..I ItH. OP THE SAM
ROAD, MAKES A SCOOP,
AwIiIm Central Came. in nail SVnati n
Placer la the Pie.
The 1,200 tons of piping, which will
make about 60 carloads, to bo used in
the city’s waterworks and sewerage
system, will be a very nioe haul for the
railroads that get It, and there is some
lively hustling being done for it.
But Mr. E. N. Clark the hustler at
the Albany end of the 8., A. & M. road,
seems to have scooped the others.
The piping has been bought from
the Cliattnnooga Pipe and Foundry
Company, and the contract provides
for its delivery at Albany, so that the
city really has nothing to do with the
routing of the freight: but Mr. Clark
got the Contract Committee of the
City Council to sign a request tu the
Chattanooga company that it be given
to tlie 3., A. A M. road at Montgomery.
Tile Chattanooga people replied to the
request and cheerfully promised to
comply.
And now representatives of the Cen
tral railroad come in and say they
want a Unger in the pie—that they
think they ought lit least to be given a
share of tile haul.
Representatives of the Central are
here to-day trying to get the matter
re-opened bo that they can get in the
deal, but Mr. Clnrk and the 8., A. & M.
seem to have the drop on them. Mem
bers of tlie City Council who have been
approaohed upon the subject say that
they have 110 right to Interfere, while
the members of tlie Contract Commit
tee are not inclined to withdraw the
friendly request made at the instance
of Mr. Clark wliioh seems to have had
the effect of procuring the business
for his road.
The rate is just the same, and it
amounts to the same thing to the ship
pers and to the city, no matter which
line the freight comes over, and un
less there is a cut made that will in
duce the Chattanooga people to flicker,
the 8., A. A M. has scooped the whole
business.
The shipments will commence in a
few days.

Tlie Atlanta Constitution of this
morning publishes six columns of dis
patches from Minneapolis, and sums
up last night’s session of tlie conven
tion ns follows:
Tlie credentials committee was or
ganized Blaine 20, Harrison 2!1.
Harrison bought out three Blaine
committeemen, thus reversing figures.
This gave Harrison the benefit of
the mnjority report before the conven
tion.
That report was to unseat 12 Blaine
delegates and to sent 32 Harrison men.
Harrison polled 463 votes to Blaine’s
428, thus giving him a clear mnjority.
Tlie convention reassembles nt 11
o’clock a. in., when Harrison will be
nominated, unless Alger’s “barrel” has
done effective work in the meantime.
As soon ns tlie Republican conven
tion at Minneapolis reconvened this
morning the Atlanta Journal com
menced to send bulletins of proceed
ings to Albany for the benefit of its
patrons in this city.
From the Journal’s bulletin vf$ get
the following:
Hick Thompson, of Indiana, nomi
nated Harrison.
Wolcot, of Colorado, nominated
Blaine.
Depew, of New York, seconded the
nomination of Harrison, and another
part of the New York delegation sec
onded the nomination of Blaine.
There was great confusion in the
hall, and Tom Reed mounted a chair
and tried to start a stampede while
Blaine’s nomination was being sec
onded.
HARRISON NOMINATKII.
At 4 ;06 o’clock, just as the Herald
was going to press, a Western Union
bulletin announces the nomination of
Harrison on the first ballot.
Ai.rany, Ga., June 11, 1862.
Mr. II. M. McIntosh, Editor Evening Ilcrnld.
Dear Sir—Referring to your article
in yesterday’s paper about the haul on
pipe for waterworks, we do think we
were hardly treated in this mntter. As
it was the first shipment the, city has
had in years of importance, I believe, of
which they could have given us n share,
we think we should have been given
a part of it, having the only through
line from Albany to, Chattanooga.
It doeB not seem to us the whole ship
ment should have been given to any
one line to the exclusion of all others.
While the city did not really have
the routing of the shipment, having
bought pipe delivered, the expressed
preference of tlie contracting commit
tee, through Mr. E. N. Clark’s influ
ence, shut us out from competing for
it on an equitable basis. We do a good
part of the business into Albauy, and
most of the northbound business going
through, and appreciate every pound
of freight given us by Albany’s citi
zens, and I atnr satisfied that the con
tracting committee had no idea or in
tention of doing us an injustice in
signing a request to route all that
shipment over the 8., A. M. road, and
that a part of that committee and bal
ance of Counoil would be pleased to
see the shipment divided between Al
bany’s different roads.
We feel that we do the city good by
being here in many ways. One item
of which is, we pay to employes eaoh
month here $3,500 and upward, and
while other lines comlngin here bring
business from only one direction, we
bring freight and passengers into and
through Albany from two directions,
giving Albany virtually two inlets
instead of one.
I do not ask nor expect you to publish
this long, rambling letter, nor do I
think it necessary, but some mention
of the pertinent facts would be appre
elated. Yours truly,
Jno. 8. Clark, Agent.

Another cloud burst, is reported
from a Pennsylvania town. Moscow,
a town of a thousand inhabitants, was
drenohed on FridnY by a cloud burst
that turned several small streams in
the county into roaring Waters. The
torrent caused by swollen streams
rushed down through the edges of the
town,relentlessly sweeping everything
before it. But the danger had been
preceded by warning, and all the peo
ple fled from their homes before the
danger was upon them. Tlie fates

The horse that pulls S. Sterne’s de
livery wagon took fright this morn
ing, ran quite a distance and ended up
liis escapade by astonishing persons
on Broad street with a jump that
would have done credit to a circus
horse.
The porter was out with the wagon
delivering groceries, and had occasion
to stop at the residence of Mr. C. Wes-
solowsky, leaving the horse standing
outside.
While he was in the house tlie horse
became badly frightened, and, break
ing away from the wagon, went sail
ing up the street at the top of his
speed.
He continued up Broad street until
he reached Kieve’s store, when he ran
square upon a buggy, which was
standing near the pavement. With-
out pausing, he sprang entirely over
the obstruction, not striking it even
with his feet. On the other side of the
buggy, he fell against one of the iron
rods that supports the tin awning.
The lick bent the rod badly, but didn’t
seem to hurt the horse.
The mule that was attached to the
buggy became frightened and started
to run, bnt was stopped before any
damage was done.
Br reference to our advertising
columns it will be seen that the Coun.
ty Commissioners will receive plans
and drawings for remodeling the Court
House, on the 4th of July, and that
bids for the work to be done will be
received until August I. These adver
tisements are important and of special
interest to architects and contractors,

Washington City on Saturday at about
11 o’olook. He had been in a critical
condition for days, but rallied slightly
on Friday and hopes were entertained
for his recovery. But on Saturday
morning it was Been that his condition
was sucli as to warrant no hopes for
his recovery. He lapsod gradually
into a comatose state, and passed away
at 11:15 o'clock.
President L. L. Polk was a native of
North Carolina, and resided most of
his life in that State.
lie represented his county In the
North Carolina Legislature with
signal ability. When the Farmers’
Alliance movement,was in its incep

promoters, and was honored witli its
Presidency.
Only a short time since he declared
for the Third Party and was promi
nently spoken of by the lenders of the
organization for the nomination for
the Presidency.

BEING DECAPITATED.
AN INTERESTING QUESTION THAT
MAY NEVER BE ANSWERED.
He Feed the Wreng Name.
There is a certain little young Amer
icn of our acquaintance, not over two
or three years of age, who is entirely
too small to be satisfied with himself.
He wants to be a great deal larger
than he is, and is very envious of Ills
sister, three or four years bis senior.
Several dayB ago the mater-familias
had the children out in the gar
den helping her gather fruit. On
account of her superior judgment and
greater activity the little girl was sent
up the tree to pluck the fruit. This
didn’t at ail suit the youngster on the
ground. He gave vent to his feelings
and vociferously deolared that he, be
ing the boy, should do the climbing.
Looking up in the tree at his sister
he yelled : “You, sitter, you ole tom
cat; you turn down fum out 'at tree.”
The mother was unable at first to com
prehend what he meant, but it sud-
denly dawned upon her that “tom boy”
was what he intended to say, and she
now relates the incident with a great
deal of pride and many Bmiles.

The boys of Albany are, many of
them, “hard up." Hard tims have af-
feoted their pockets as well as those of
their seniors. Now the boys would
like to go off to spend their vacation
at some summer resort fully as well as
any one, and the only drawback is the
extremely low condition of their bank
accounts. Here is a ( plan for the boys
which, if they will carry it out, can give
them a week or two of recreation at
Cumberland.
The boys at Brunswick make the
trip several times in a season. They
take their tents and general oamp
paraphernalia, hire a boat and go over
to Cumberland Island, and go into
camp in some pleasant grove near the
beach.
The boys could load all their trioks
on a freight car here, the whole party
get in and go to Brunswick for a very
small sum. A freight train would
make the trip in a single night, and
with their cots, the boys might sleep
all the way to Brunswick.
There would hardly be any expense
once on the iBland, and with eight or
ten boys, $10 or $15 each would defray
every expense of tlie trip.

The question of the duration of con
sciousness in the brain of criminals after
execution by banging or by tlie guillo
tine is being discussed with greater in
terest than ever since Annstay, the mur
derer of Baroness Dellard, paid his debt
to society. It is sniil that thiB remarka
ble criminal sent to his brother n letter
on the subject ns follows;
Tlie separation of my hody and that which
conatltutcs my thinking belngoannot eo ttoou
lie accomplished. I believe there la a survival
ef altout an hour. Come, then, I-con, ho pres
ent at my execution end Insist that u\y head
be given to you. Call mo with your votes) and
my eyes will roply to you.
This is hut tlio repetition of a popular
belief that 1ms prevailed for conturleR.
There is a legend of a state execution in
England at an epoch when tlio ax and
block were in use, whioh sets forth that
after the instrument had fallen tho por-
son whose head was on the block ex
claimed, “You huvo mlssod mol” to
which tlie oxccutioner repliod with a
slight kick that sent tlie bend rolling to
a dista nce. The story never gained much-
credence, hut is still worthy of discus
sion, Its truth or falsity would depend
on the possibility of tho instrument
being so t-litn nnd Blmrp that tho walls
of the veins would not be displaced, in
which case the circulation of the blood
might continue for a few Beconds, and
whether consciousness might continue
tor a moment after the vertebra) of the
neck was severed. This Inst difficulty
would be tho greatest, since utter un
consciousness is supposed to ho simul
taneous with the severing of the spinal
ooril or the breaking of the neck. In
any event, soientista who have taken tho
trouble to study the faces of the guillo
tined for a few seconds after the fatal
stroke, or who have made experiments
with decapitated animals, do not favor
tho theory.
Several Freuoh physicians, and among
them Dr. Paul Loyo, now deceased, but
once a professor at the Sorbonne, hove
experimented with jlogs, using for their
banging or decapitation machinery like
fthat VrfnpKyed in public executions.
The dog was chosen for the ex-
terimonts as having the most mo
tile face and being able to repro
duce the movements which in rare
cases have been observed in human
subjects. Persons whom this treatment
of dumb animals might revolt are begged
to remember that the suffering is much
less than in vivisection, since these
methods of execution are generally rec
ognised as producing the least pain.
The guillotine employed by Dr. Loye
was similar to that used for the execu
tion of ordinary criminals in France. It
consisted of n triangular knife or ax,
surmounted by a mass of lead weighing
over twenty pounds and falling over
six feet upon the neck of the animal,
whioh was severed at the third verte
bra. The phenomena observed were
similar to those remarked by other
French and by foreign savants whose
experiments havo been less elaborate.
At the moment tlio head was detached
from the body the mouth opened wide,
as if the animal was making an extraor
dinary effort at inhalation. The tongue
was applied to tho lower part of the
month nnd underwent a brief period of
agitation. The eyelids were closed with
light contractions. Then the eyes wore
opened and rolled from side to side and
top to bottom, the pupils in tho mean,
time gradually contracting. At tho
same time the jaws were opened and
violently closod, and the face was rapid,
ly convulsed. This was followed by
changes at the comers of the month,
bration of the nostrils, trembling of the
lips and erection of tho ears. The en
semble of these movemonts constituted
a series of horrible grimaces like those
seen on the face of the guillotined, and
seemed to express the most intense ag.
ony. If the cornea of the eye was
touched the eyelids closed, bnt if on ob
ject, no matter of what kind, was placed
before the eye there was no movement.
Neither did crying nor whistling into
the ears of tho dog appear to cause the
slightest sensation. The pinching of
the tongue cansed a slight shrinking of
that organ. Although the pupil of the
eye was contracted, the approach of a
light rendered the orifice still smaller.
These phenomena occupy about ten
seconds, and are followed by a period of
repose continuing to the fifteenth or
twentieth second, during which the
month rests closed and the eyes open
and without movement. At the end of
this time the month opens and closes
qnickly, the nostrils dilate and contract.
Daring this time, although the irritation
of the cornea has caused a slight wink.
Ing, neither whistling in the ear nor
touching the tongue or nostrils with am
monia or cologne has been able to pro
duce any effect. The opening and clos
ing of the month resemble yawning,
and are reproduced a dozen times, after
whioh the motions gradually cease.
Then the cornea loses Its sensibility to
the touch, thongh, half a minute having
elapsed, the yawning is still active. The
pnpil of the eye dilates at the approach
of light, bnt does not contract, and the
cornea loses Its glistening sppearanoe.
At the end of two minntes the yawning
and other phenomena have ceased, end
ing in mere contraction of the fibers,
and the head takes a corpselike look.—

In 1878 Milo Hoadtey was a passen
ger on the Milton stage when it was
held up by-a lone Italian highway
man. There wore four or five pas
sengers besides Hoadley, all young,
strong mon, who would not like to
see their names in print in connec
tion With this incident.
The Italian, a tall, athletic fellow,
stepped out from behind u rock at
the foot of a steep liill, and leveling
a shotgun nt the iltjver ordered him
to stop nnd throw out the box. The
driver obeyed nnd handed the box,
which contained several thousand
dollars, to the robber, who took it in
his left hand and remarked that that
was all lie wanted.
Hoadley looked at the robber and
said:
“Don't you think you've got a lot
of cheek to hold up n stage with five
men iff it?”
“It strikes me,” replied tlio robber,
“that you’ve got more cheek to moke
any impromptu remarks 011 tho sub
ject when nolxidy lias bothered you.
Have yon got nny njonoy about
you?”
“Yes, I have,” snid Hoadley. “I've
got n hundred dollars, hut what of
-it?”
"Nothing particular, except I want
it, and will blow your head off if you
don't hand it out lively.” And so
saying the robber sighted along his
gun barrel at Mr. Hoadley'B head.
He looked us if he meant business,
nnd Hondloy leisurely fished out his
purso nnd held it out to the robber.
Hoadley sat on tho front scat be
tween tho driver and nnothor man,
and in handing tho purse to the rob
ber ho had to lean forward and
across the other passenger, while the
robber had to lower his gun, step
close to the stage and reach up for
the purse with his loft hand.
Just os tho robber grabbed the
purse Hoadley pitched forward and
lurled himself upon tho fellow, land
ing astride of him and bearing him
to the ground with a crash. Hoad
ley weighed over800 pounds, and the
Italian had a hard job to shake him
off, but Hoadley was much the older
man and his wind did not last long.
The Btruggle on the ground lasted a
minute or more, and had the other
passengers gone to Hoodley’s assist
ance they could have overpowered
and bound the robber without any
difficulty. . But not a man of them
stirred hand or foot to help the old
gentleman, and in a few moments
ho Italian got out fiom under Mm
and regained possession of his gun,
wMcli he had dropped whon Hoad
ley fell upon him.
“You are the cheekiest old man I
ever saw," said the Italian, as Hoad
ley, almost breathless and wholly
disgusted, scrambled to his feet and
began brushing the dust from his
clothes.
“That’s all right," panted the old
gentleman, “hut if any of those cow
ards on the stage had stood in, we'd
have had you tied up and the joke
would have been on you."
Now it would be a fine ending of
this incident to relate how the road
agent, admiring tho spirit and aour-
age of the old gentleman, returned
to him his purse and punished the
cowardice of the other passengers
by compelling them to give up all
their money and watches, hut high
waymen of that type went out of
fashion long ago, and the cold, unro
mantic truth of the matter is that
the Italian keptHoadley's $100, didn't
rob the others and went away into
the brush with Ms gun and the ex-
press box.
The sheriff took his trail that same
day and arrested him in a wayside
saloon, hut forgot to search him, and
when the robber was taken to jail he
gave Hoadloy’S $100 to a lawyer to
defend him. The Italian was prose
cuted, convicted and sent to prison
as John Doe, and he never was idem
tilled otherwise, and the express box
that he stole was never found.—Son
