Hon. M. A. Hanna of this city.
Speaking to an Associated Press
representative concerning this spec-
ulation as to the effect of the For-

prospects he said: “They will not

McKinley has more friends in>
Ohio now than ho ever had before
md he has more In all the other
states of the Union. This talk
ibout a divided Ghio delegation in

t is all a lie The Republicans in
his state are true to McKinley or

DOES ELECTROCUTION KILL.
Burton the Boston Scientist. Says
That It Does Not and Chal-
lenges Trial.
Rochester N.Y.. June I.—ln an
Interview with an Associated Press
reporter Geo. D. Burton the Boston
scientist was asked as to his views
regarding electrocution of crimin-
als. He said in reply:
“Assuming the press reports of
the execution of Wm. Lake to be
correct I make the positive asser-
tion that the man eould have been
resuscitated at any time within a
few hours after he was pronounced
dead. The surgeon’s knife not the
electric current was I believe the
cause of that man’s death. The
electricians simply filled that man
with electricity’ and turned him
over to the surgeons to cut up.”
“I have not the slightest doubt
in my mind” continued Mr. Bur-
ton “that if the body of Win. Lake
after it came from the electrical
chair had been placed on wet earth
and saturated with water every
particle of the electrical fluid would
have been gradually drawn off the
body and the man would have re-
covered within a few hours.”
He then related an instance that
came under his observation at Mal-
den Mass. where a man receiving
2400 volts had recovered after re-
ceiving the above treatment. He
further said:
“The scientific world is watching
the result of the experiment in New
York state with the closest interest
but doubts as to its success will
never be removed until the state
dares to sanction the trial in the
hands of experts to decide whether
or not the men who are declared
dead are actually killed.”
Brazil and France At Outs.'
New York June 1. —A special to
the Herald from Rio Janeiro says:
‘ The Official Gazette asserts that a
fight took place between French
marinesand Brazilians on May’ 15.
Lieut. Lumier ordered the im-
prisonment of Cabral but the lat-
ter resisted and shot Lumier. The
French force advanced and burned
the village of Cabralo but the
Brazilians returned and compel-
led the French to retire. Two
Brazilians and one Portuguese
were taken prisoners by the re-
treating troops.
The Brazilian government de-
clares that the French had no
right to invade neutral territory.
The episode taken together with
many other foreign complications
may cause the resignation of the
minister of affairs Gen. Carvalho.
The French minister has been or-
dered to make a protest.
London June 1. —The Daily
News has an editorial this morn-
ing commenting upon the recent
incidents at Jeddah Moosh and
Peyrouet involving assault upon
representatives of the Christian
Powers by’ the Mohomedan
residents. The editorial says: “It
is not too much to say that there
are many signs of a holy war
against all Christian communities
and all Christian rights whatever
in the Turkish empire. The
powers represented on the Arnie-
dian commission cannot possibly
mistake its Character. Armenia
was probably never nearer to com-
plete and final delivery’ than at
this hour.” The Times also com-
ments on the Sultan’s delay in ac-
cepting the Armenian scheme of
reform and calls him the great in-
ternational Micawber.

is informed that two expert plumb-
ers will arrive from New York to-
morrow to make a thorough exam-
ination of W. W. Astor’s villa and
if their report is favorable a lease
will be immediately signed for the
summer. The probable lessee is
George Gould. Mr. Aator put the
house on the market when he
came to this country last winter
with the body of his wife and at
that time Mr. Gould made an offer
for the season but the price was
below the $15000 mark set by Mr.
Aator.

filling with strangers but no dem-
onstrations have yet been made. A

dent finds that the strangers thus
far on the streets are largely from

a large body of men were assem-
bled a half mile south of the city.
This proved untrue.
“Sheriff Moore says he will de-
fend the prisoner with all the force
he can command If necessary.”
Later.—2:3o a. m.—The streets at
this hour are deserted on account of
determined efforts of Sheriff Moore.
The mob has dispersed.

P. of E from recognizing in any
way the so-called and spurious
grand lodge which met at Atlantic
City in June 1894 and which it is
proposed to hold there in July
1895. I forbid anj- representation
of any subordinate lodges from at-
tending the meetings of said il-
legal contumacious and rebellious
body. I forbid any and all lodges
from paying their per capita tax to
any of the officers of the said body
under the penalty of having to pay
the same again when the courts
have rendered a decision with the
penalty further imposed by our
members.

THAT FLORIDA LYNCHING
Denied as to the Lynching and Con-
firming as to the Whipping.
Jacksonville Fla. June I.—A
special to the Citizen from Barlow
Fla. says: The story sent out
yesterday of a criminal assault on
Mrs. Timberlake and subsequen
lynching of three negroes and the
whipping of another for the crime
is very much exaggerated and un-
true in particulars. The true story
briefly is:
Some man entered Mrs. Dora
Timberlake’s room at her resi-
dence eight miles west of Barlow
on Saturday night. His object is
unknown but it is presumed to
have been theft. He was fright-
ened away but was tracked to a
camp where there were four
negroes. All were arrested but no
identification could be made. On
the night following the parties
started to this city with all four
negroes and were overtaken by
another party who secured the
prisoners and spirited them away.
Two of the negroes who es-
caped say they were whipped and
that one or both of the others
were killed but this story is not
believed as no trace of the missing
negroes can be found. It is thought
they were warned to leave the
country and obeyed. The general
belief Is that the report of the
lynching is untrue.
