The' killing of the four murderers, Slo- cum, Smilec, Wood and Jurigo,! was done this morning. Slocum1 was killed at Smiler was put to death 5:14. Wood met his doom at 5:39. Jugiro; was killed at 6:06. One of the witnesses briefly tells the story of the executions; as follows: About 4 o'clock the witnesses and jurors were let in to the death chamber. The ex. perts had previously examined everytlE&g and saii. they were satisfied that the machinery of death would work successfully. - At 4 Slocum went into the death room accompanied by Father Creeden. He seemed to be making a tremendous effort to keep his composure. He had received Father Creeden's last offices and had declared himself readv to die. He Was then firm ly'strapped into the chair and'j the death current applied. Death was instantaneous. There was a sudden contrac tion of the nerves, and then all was over. Smiler followed next and Rev. Br. Edgerton cheered him up. Before Smiler had time to think, he was strapped into the chair and in an instant later the current of electricity was flashed through him that sent him into eternity. Next to follow was Wood, the negro. He had been worked up to a state of religious enthusiasm and it was while in this frame of mind that he was fastened into the chair and killed by the fatal shock. Jugiro was stubborn to the last-' There was the general ferocious look on his face. He was closelv guarded and s&.ort Work made of him. There was no apparent hitck in the four executions, and they were pronounced a success. -The death of the four men ap peared to the observer to be pain less. Death came like a flash It was one awful shock and then oblivion. The doctors took charge of the four bodies .imme diately after death, and began the autopsy to discover, as far as possible, how rapid had been the killing and the precise effect produced. The approximate time of tur ning on the current in each case was: Slocum, 4.4o; Smiler, 5:10; Wood, 5:3o Jugiro, 6:o5. The prisoners had received mtima" TRYHG W FORCE TflE: SOUTH To Show Its Allegiance to the Third Parly. Topeka, Kan., July 9. -Senator Peiffer left yesterday for Indianapolis.

The object of the visit South is -j to force the Sourthern farmer to to take action on the Third par ty question before the convention of Alliance Presidents is called in 1892. ItfURDER XT WILSON. Willson, N. C.July 7. At this, writing a jury of inquest is in-. V estigating a murder com mi tteed here last night at 11 o.clbck. The party charged is Minnie Sutton. The murdered woman, is Lou Smith, the wife of a Me thodist minister. All the paf ties are colored. The Sutton woman, it appears, was seen waiting around the Colored Methodist Church up to the time of the close of the services and within at few yards of the church a woman approa ched the Smith woman in com pany with another woman nam ed Jones. She looked closely in tee faces of the two and, upon locating Smith, drew a revolver, placed it on the right brest of Smith and fired, Smith lived on ly a few moments. For some reasons the 'shooting w as placed on Sutton and she w as arrested and placed in the lock-up. This morning she confessed and told the police wihere the'pistol could be found. It was found as she stated, wrapped up in a tow sack, back of the garden where the murderess livtd. As yet there is no Verdict by the jury' and the case is yet pending. The Sutton wema s apology for "the killing is that tlie woman has killing by poison three mem bers of her family. Our next Court will have two capital cases to investigate. Ben Butler, in his autobiogra, phy, imparts the astonishing in formation that his pious parents i intended him for a Calvanistic minister. But the devil had a better conception of the peculiar j talents of Ben, took Mm into early training and stole a Tftarch on the old folks. The pulpit, however, made a narrow escape. Wil.Star.
