Slocum was killed at 4:42, Rmiler was put to death at 5:14, Wood met his doom at 5:30, Jugiro wag killed at 6:0(i. The lights in the prison buildings are usually put out at 4 o'clock every morn ing or a few minutes after. This morn ing there was a change. The lights went out half an hour earlier than usual and those of the curious ones who re mained in Iront of the prison all night noticed that something was happening The watchers outside had grown very suspicious of the new warden, Brown, and they thought it would be just like him to kill the men at some unexpected lime mid then say nothing about it for Hours ulterwnrds. So, when at .1:30, the lights went down it was believed some thing was to lie done with the dvnamo which kills and which has to have nil the other electric power of the prison shut on wnen it runs. Then the Killing; was Done. For over an hour the dynnmo was kept running and its force was not expended in making lights. Then it was stopjied for a time. The duy broke this morning Uxn a row of very tired men who sat on a stone wall opposite the prison outside the "dead lines." The guards who had pa trolled the dend line had become very in solcnt. Their long walk of the night rumen ineir tempers considerably and early this morning thev hud reached a state where they would have been glad to use a chid on some one. Killed Partially lu secret, lleyond a few rifle-laden guards at that time there was nothing to show that human beings lived in the prison. Not the slightest trace of life was visible. The hour of 5 o'clock came and went and there was nothing more to show. There was not a hint Irom those walls. The curious group still lounged on the stone steps and the 1)1 u II opposite the prison, the only disturbing element being a freight trmn which rumbled along through the two tunnels. As the re-echo of the wheels grew fainter half ol a man's body projected out of the west window of the cupalo. locum Was) Dead. The crowd opposite the jail did not s?" him because the cupalo was between, but if they had looked closely they would hnve seen the flag halliard moving. It took the man up there less than half a minute to make a bit of bunting fast to the ropes and then there fluttered up to the peak ol the pole a small white flag. That was a prearranged signal that Slocum, the baseball player, the man who hacked his wife to death with an axe, had died just five minutes before. By the time the flag was set the news was on a dozen waiting wires. The Ang hung against the pole limply for a couple of minutes and then it came down and was pulled inside. There was a little bustle outside when the white flag went up but as soon as it was down everything became quiet again. Even the guards who were supposed to have an inkling ol what was going on, ceased walking, and stared up at that long slender white pole. Mmller I-Uectrocuted. The death like silence which followed the hustle caused by the raising of the flag was oppressive. All this time not a sound had come from the prison enclos ure to indicate that any one was up and about. At 5:15 the first rays of the sun topKd the eastern blufl and brightened in spots the ivy of the prison house. The sun turned vagrant awhile and went be hind a mackerel screen and then, when everything looked gray and gloomy, again the same half man was visible. A pair of hands tumbled awhile with the halliards and the squure of white bunt ing crawled slowly up the poles. It was 1 5:15 and Smiler, the Snlvationnrmy boy, slayer of his third wile, had given life for life five minutes before. It took the at tendant five minutes to go to the top of the prison and hoist the signal. No one knew exactly who was inside thut board house with the carefully screened win dow. The Wltneaaea. chamber that the warden could not forget as long as he lived. The Jap believed mat wnen ne was laaen 10 inai mysterious electric room he was to be tortured. He had said he would fight before he would sit in that chair. A dis platement of the wires or of the harness caused by a struggle would mean torture. The watchers anxiously looked up at the pole on the roof to see the red nag an nounce the death of Jugiro. It was long in coming. That fact savored of a strug gle. It was over presently. The law had been carried out to the letter and the red flag went op. The Jap died at 6:06 o'clock. The entire time consumed in killing the four men was an hour and twenty three and one-half minutes. The Machinery. The mistakes ol the electrical experts which made the execution of Kcmmler in the jail a partial failure were carefully avoided today. Thetested voltuge of the dynamos had been brought up to 3,000, wane the estimated voltage which was sent into Kcmmler s body was only 7uu. Thedynanio used was the Wcstinghouse.a counterpart of the machine used at Au burn, but it was supplemented by a smaller dynamo intended to augment the current. The switch controlling the electric cur rent was so arranged that the motion that turned the current into the wire running to the execution chair turned it away from the incandescent lights and other devices for measuring its strength. Hlnrv ol the Execution, One of the witnesses briefly tells the story of the executions as follows: About 4 o'clock the witnesses and jurors were let into the death chamber The experts had previously examined everything and said they were satisfied. I he machinery of death would work successfully. At 4 o'clock Slocnm walked into the death THEY ARE WATCHING US. OHKTHING ASHEVILLE MUST MOT FORGET.

He was then firmly strapped into the chair and the death current applied. Death was instantaneous. There was a sudden contraction of the nerves and then all was over. Smiler followed next. Rev. Mr. Kdger ton cheered him up. Before Smiler had time to think he was strapped into the chair and an instant Inter the current of electricity was flashed through him into eternity. The 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 rhnir and killed by the fatal shock. lugiro was stubborn to the last.

Editor Thk Citizbn: I hope yon will allow me, an old fogy, one not addicted to writing for the newspapers, to drop you a line on the all important mutter of our railroad project. First, I am greatly surprised that the press of Asheville has treated this matter with such indiffer ence. I have always thought cities like Asheville wanted all the railroads they could get, and would do anything in their power to get them, but possibly your people have concluded that your place is large enough and you are ready to call a halt. If that be true, I can see how it is you want no more roads for railronds will surely build up a town whether or not. But this is not the object of this note. I simply want to remind you people of Asheville that the northern section of the county is in great need of this railroad, and we are almost ready to abandon our homes unless we can net some war of going and coming to and from the outside world. The public roads, during the last winter were enough to make a whole community commit suicide, but we have rcfruined hoping something would hap pen to our advantage before another winter conies. Our section voted almost solid for the Asheville & Spartanburg railroad appropriation when we knew it would never reach our section, and we think Asheville ought to remember how we stood up for her on this and all other occasions. We bave helped to elevate your leading men to office and power, we have emptied our laps into the laps of your merchants and business men and not one dollar hns this section ever hnd for any purpose lor its upbuild ing. We have paid our share to build your railroad, your court house, your bridges all over the country (except this) and we have got nothing for all our de votion to your city and the county. Now nn opportunity offers for Asheville to help those that have so freely and wil lingly helped them heretofore, i ne ques tion is wtll you do it? No money is asked not one dollar you and we are only asked to load our credit to a prop osition that will certainly cire us a road and that too when we are secured be- A Great Dav at Candler. Thanks to the Ladle. Candi.kb, N. C, July 5.-Specinl. The glorious Fourth was celebrated here in a way to be long remembered by the loyal people of Upper and Lower Hom iny. The Hominies had concentrated at Candler for an oldfashioncd mountain picnic and invitations had been mailed to a great many friends at Asheville and elsewhere. All who received invitations, knowing the ability of Hominy to pro- uce, and the skill ot the Indies, Mrs. Hirsch Harkins, Mrs. Perry Gaston and the Misses Gaston, Williams, Morgans, Logan and llui kins to prepare, were de terred from accepting only by impossibilities. By 10 o'clock from 250 to 300 people had gathered between the North and South Hominy creeks, near Candler, most all coming in wagons, floating on high the start and stripes. 1 he time was passed very merrily in playinu and in listening to the music furnished by an old fashioned "home-made string band," ntil about i o clock, when one of the best of picnic dinners was spread among the vines and cliffs, by the ladies, and en joyed to the "fullest" extent by all pres ent. After dinner the mountain breeze amid laurel and Ivy seemed heaven like, and everybody was happy. Asheville was well represented and but lor a small accident and a very bad scare that befell a party who drove out, con. sisting of Misses Laura Chedister, Min nie Uuston, Charlie Fletcher and Mr. 'arlcy Mcars and Nat Greer, caused by the horses becoming frightened at the train, the day would nave been another one of "childhoods happy dreams" to the Asheville delegation.

It was the idea of the warden to keep them within the walls where they could not be interviewed, and where they would have no chance to talk to any one. n the interval of waiting this morning there were two things to talk about. First was as to what color the next flag would be, and the other wns as to whether or not lawyer Haire had suc ceeded in his mission. He came to the prison last night and showed a paper said to have been signed by Judge Lacombe. No one knew what it was or how much import it carried.
