FALL RIVER CONVINCED.
THE COTTON MILLS MI ST COMB SOUTH.
When Fall River was seized with the
fever of building more cotton mills a year
ago or so, among the organizations last
in the field seckiug subscriptions was tho
Glen Mill. The stock was noon taken,
but when the first assessment on the stock
whs called for no response was made, uor
have any steps been taken up to this
time to begin work ou the mill. The
promoters of the scheme say the mill
will be built iu the spring, but au iuside
rumor has it that some of the capitalists
interested in the scheme will put their
money into a Southern venture instead.
Let the ultimate results be what they
may, the significant fact still remains that
the pheuominal success of cotton manu
facturing in the South has so impressed
would-be investors iu mill stock in Fall
River as to deter them from building
another mill and set them to considering
iuvcsiing in the South instead. Fall
River is the leading cotton manufactu
ring centre in the country, and its mills
are among the most successfully and eco
nomically run in the North. The fact
theu that the success of cotton manufac
turing in the South has called a halt in
this, great centre, even though the halt
be perhaps temporary, shows that it wil1
not be very long before Fall River money
will actually come South in this industry.
A few years, ago Fall River said the
Southf could not make cotton cloth to
compete with the North. Now the city
has found conviction. The next step,
most naturally, will be to go South. The
5n,0l)0spindle mill at Florence, Ala., to
be built largely by New Kngland capital
is a poser for Northern cotton mills, and
is only a forerunner of other large mills
to be established, besides the 25,000
spindle mill already decided upon at Den
ison, Texas, likewise by New England
capitalists. Miimifactiireix' Record.

MISS IXCY WOMIII.E, ENDS HKIl OWN
LIFE IN A TltAlllC MANNKll INSAN
ITY st ri'osKn to hk nit: cuke.
News and 01m? rver.
A startling report was on the streets
early yesterday morning of a sad case of
suicide. The story was to the effect that
Miss Lucy Womble, daughter of Mr.
Louis D. Womble, of this city, had com
mitted suicide by shooting herself with a
pistol.
On investigation the rumor was found
to be too true. It was learned that Miss
Womble's mind had for some time been
slightly affected. Rceeutly changes for
tho worse had been noted. On yesterday
morning about (3 o'clock the report of a
istol was heard by the family at her
home at number 57)8 East Ilargett street,
and when they reached her in her room
they found that she bad shot herself
through the temple with a revolver.
Death was almost instantaneous.
Miss Womble's mental impairment
lad bceu noted for about two months
past. She was about -1 years of age
aud had always resided in the house of
lcr father uutil her death. Her derange
ment was of a religious character and she
spent much of her time in reading and
praying. She had little to say and seemed
averse to mingling in society. Recently
she seemed to have relapsed into a state
of melancholia.
The first unusual citcumstanco that
was noted, however, was her absence fiom
Sunday school on Sunday morning, where
she regularly taught a class. She did
not. go o it to Sunday school, statiug that
she was unwell. On yesti rday morning
as usual however she arose and assisted
in preparing breakfast and seemed more
cheerful than ever. Soon after breakfast
sh j retired to her room aud in a short
while her sister in passing through the
house heard a jiistol shot. A search be
in.; instituted Miss Wonble was found
lyin upon the floi r directly in front of
the minor in her own room up stairs.
To all appearances she had taken the
revolver, which belonged to her father
and which happened to have been left in
her bureau drawer, an 1 standing before
the mirror placi d it against her right
temple and fired. She had fallen direct
ly iu front of the mirror and the revolver
lay near. She lived ouly a few momenta.
The revolver was a single barrelled one.
The affair was a great surprise, as Miss
Womble's mental impairment was not
considered serious. A short while ago
she went on a visit to lur sister, who is
a teaeherin the Goldsboro Graded School.
The funeral wiil take place this after
noon at 4 o'clo:k from the First Presby

KEMMLER TO DIE.
KXr.lTTION 1IY KLKCTIliriTY HELP TO
HE CONSTITl'TIONAL.
Moioliy the decision in the Kemmler
ease was handed down with a long opin
ion by Judge Dwight. It will be remem
bered that Kemmler is the murderer con
demned to death under the Stato law
providing for tho execution of criminals
by elect rieit v. A writ of habeas corpus
was sued out, alleging that Kemmler was
sentenced to undergo a "cruel and unus
ual punishment" contrary to the consti
tution of the State cf New York aud of
tho United States.
An offer was made to prove that the
punishment as prescribed by the statute
was cruel and unusual. A releree was
appointed to take and report such proof
as should be offered by either party on
the question proposed. The writ was
dismissed aud the prisoner remanded to
the custody of the agent and warden of
the State prison. The question came up
before Judge Dwight on appeal.
Concluding his decision, the judge says'
"The light of the scientific evidence in
this case is sufficient, as we think, to re
move every reasonable doubt that the
passage of a current of electricity of a
certain well determined intensity through
the vital parts of the body under chosen
conditions of contact and resistance must
result in instaut death. If the question
were of the advisability in the change of
the mode of inflicting death, by capital
punishment, the discussion might be
prolonged. As we are confined to the
question of the constitutionality we deem
the further discussion unnecessary. The
order dismissing the writ of habeas corpus
aud remanding the prisoner must be af
firmed." KANSAS CRIES FOR AID.
Distressing news of suffering from cold
and from lack of food supplies comes from
the western part of the State, where the
cold snap of Saturday has chauged to the
nature of a blizzard. There are three
feet of snow on the "round in Sherman
County, and the people have issued a pi
ti ul appeal for aid. The trejlcss coun
try gives the wind full play about the
houses, many of which are but frail struc

THE AUSTRALIAN PLAN.
HOW IT WORKS IN THAT COUNTRY AND
AS .MODIFIED IN MASSACHUSETTS.
In South Australia, under tho electo
ral act of 1879, which has been consid
ered entitled to the highest commendation
various polling booths aro provided, each
having separate compartments, and each
having a ballot box with a cleft for re
ceiving the ballot, and constructed with
an outer aud inner cover, both under
lock and key. These compartments are
so arranged as to screen the voter from
observation while he is preparing his
ticket, and are provided with pencils, for
tho use of the electors. Each voter when
he enters the both is required to satisfy
the election officers that he is entitled to
vote. That being done and his name
fouud on the list, he is handed a voting
paper bearing the initials of the election
officer, and a mark is then placed against
the voter's name on the list. The elec
tor having received his "voting paper,"
retires to a compartment, where without
delay he iudicates his choice of candi
dates by making a cross in the square
opposite the names of such candi
dates, lie then folds the paper delivers
it to the presiding officer, who deposits it
in the ballot box, when the voter is re
quired to quit the booth. There is no
provisi-.n made in this law for illiterate
persons, probably because reading and
writing are necessary qualifications of
voters, but those who by reason of blind
ness are unable to prepare their ballots
are entitled to name their agents to ac
company them into a compartment and
mark their papers for them. In Massa
chusetts, where their ballot system, inod-
jcled after Australian law, seems to be
complete and satisfactory, the election
officers are required to designate the poll
ing places and cause them to be
complete and satisfactory, the election
officers are required to designate the
polling places and cause them to be "suit
ably provided with a sufficient number of
voting shelves or compartments in which
voters may conveniently mark their bal
lots, so that in marking them they may
be screened from the observation of oth
ers, and a guard rail shall be so con
structed and placed that only such per
sons as are insid said rail can approach
within six feet of the ballot boxes and
of the voting shelves or compartments."
Neither voting places uor ballot boxes,
however, are hiddeii from the view of
those outside the rail. No person is ad
mittcd inside the rail except eb e ion of
ficers and voters except to keep order
and enforce the law. When a voter pre
sents himself at the polling place his
name is announced tu a ballot elerk in a
distinct voice, and if found upon the
"check list" by the officer jn charge of it
he repeats the name and the vot r is then
allowed to enter the space inclosed by the
guardrail. The ballot cleik thin jjives
bim one ballot, and only one, and his
name is immediately checked on the list.
The Voter on receiving- his ballot retires
alone to one of ihe compartments and
prepares his ballot by marking a ci'ons iu
the square opposite tie name of the
candidate ol lifi choice, or by wilting in
ilank space r ivided tln-r. f. r 'Af
name of his uaiididnte, aud itulicat'tig

ineiosure liuiL'cr than ten minutes. No
one is allowed to take away any ballot

while under the Australian law thev are
destroyed. Ballots defectively marked
