Tainted while the Judge pronounced the sen-
tcneo of death. "When the sentence was
pronounced the prisoner , who nt the con-
cludlne plmisn , "And tnny the Lord have
incrcy on your soul , " hud clasped her hands
convulsively tofcthcr , required for n moment
the support of the two fomnlo warders , but ,
recovering her nerves , BIO walked down
stairs with u firm step and unassisted. When
his lordship , preceded by the usual rctlnuu of
javelin men , chaplains and sheriffs , mnilo
his appcaranco In the street , the crowd com
menced to yell and hoot. Ills lordship tool :
no notice of the disturbance , but proceeded
to his carriage. The police , not expecting n
demonstration of thin kind , were not In ox-
tvoordlnnry force , nnd they only partially
succeeded In keeping the crowd clear of the
conveyances. The horses , being line spirited
animal ! ) , became restive , but the policeman ,
seeing the position of ufTuirs , whipped them
up nnd drove nt a rapid puce up the road
toward. Nowshain house , the judge's resi
dence , followed for some distance by the
yelling crowd. This treatment was the less
deserved because throughout the trial Mr.
Justice Stephen had been even anxiously
cnroful that no point told in favor of the
prisoner should bo overlooked.
As an instance of popular , fickleness , a
somewhat similar sccno occurred in connec
tion with the removal of a newly convicted
prisoner. It was at 11 rat intended to sur
round the prison van with an escort of
mounted police , but this Idea was aban-
boned , and when the van drove out of St.
John's lane , the end of the private passage
by which the prisoners nro taken
to and removed from the
courts , u largo crowd awaited Its
appearance and indulged in hoots und groans
for the prisoner , which continued until the
van disappeared in the direction of Wnltou
Goal.
There is a rumor that Airs. Maybriek Is
pregnant. If this wore so it would suvo her
from the noose , but the report is not be
lieved. When a woman under deatli sentence -
tonco makes such claims she is placed in the
hands of u jury of twelve matrons. If their
verdlct _ is that the prisoner is with child , she
Is resulted , which means imprisonment for
life , otherwise she Is handed.
'Ihoy Feebly Concur.
LONDON , August 7. A majority of the
London papers feebly concur in the May.
briolt verdict. The Times holds that thcro
is enough on the woman's side to uiako it a
case for the earnest consideration of the
liomo ofllco. It is notable that the judco in
passing sentence refrained from expressing
nny agreement with the verdict.

David G. Weems , the inventor , conducted
the experiments. The company will build at
once a fivo-milo circular truck on Long
Island to demonstrate the practicability of
their electric passenger system and also the
automatic system which was tried to-day ,
and is intended only for light express pack

LOXDON , August 7. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Um.J : Senator John
Sherman bus had but ono slnglo experience
during his Europcun tour whioh ho remem
bers with disgust. It occurred in London. A
few days ago ho returned from Belgium
with his buggago checked through to Char-
tnp Cross station. The baggugo consisted of
several trunks and some newly purchased
dresses belonging to Mrs. Sherman , which
had been hastily pao.kcd by the dressmaker
in a wooden box. On disembarking nt Char
ing Cross the senator loft his party
a few moments to find the baggage
porter. On returning he found the
ladles surrounded by customs officials , who
insisted upon scanning the contents of every
piece , und were behaving In a manner con
sidered outrageous by the senator. Ho
stated there was nothing dutiable In the
oaggago , and gave the chief official his card.
Neither curds nor explanations had any
oftcct. Every trunk was emptied , the
wooden box brokcu opou and loft in that
condition.
That none of the oillclals were
thrown under the wheels of the
train during the performance , Shop
man's friends cannot understand.
Ho happened to mention the matter to Col
onel New. The latter was rampageous. Ho
went to the proper authorities , said Sherman
was u senator and cx-sccrctury of the treas
ury and described th affair us un outrage.
Whnt were they going to do uuout lit
The authorities expressed sorrow and
would discharge the men If desired. This
sort of satisfaction was not wanted and uono
other could apparently bo obtained.
Sherman said to the Herald correspondent
that the affair was a queer com
mentary on the tariff regulations
of the great free trade country
of the world. The snino baggage had cone
through " Franco , Switzerland , Germany ,
Italy "and Belgium without trouble to the
owner until free trade England was reached.
It was proper , perhaps , to take precautions
against the introduction of dynamite , but ho
did not think the appearance of the pari.y or
baggage warranted tlio assumption that n
largo quantity of explosives was being intro
duced by a United States senator.
AVhen Dcpow heard tno story ho said the
ofllcers might have been searching for
old silver , ns Americans who visited the con
tinent often mudo a point of purchuslng largo
quantities und trying to smuggle. The cus
tom oftlcors were ordered to sourch nil bag
gage from the continent. A few years ago
ho came hern from the continent armed with
introductions and recommendations to the
chief of the customs ofllcials by thejaianagcrs
of ruilroads , the United States consul and
others in authority. His baggage was ex
amined all the same. Asked why , the chief
ofllccr said it was donp for self-protection. Not
long before an American lady , who occupies
a high social position in London , was a pas
senger on the same road. Shu had the sumo
sort of introductions , nnd pretty and winning
ways. Two subordinates chalked her bag
gage. Thrco days afterwards both men were
discharged. The American Indy had been
taken to dinner at a social g.ithciing by a
cubinot ofllccr , to whom she told , us a speci
men of her cleverness , how aho had got her
bnpgngo through with a lot of old
silver aboard. Now nobody escapes the
infliction uudercono by Sherman , and it
gives rise to heapa of strong language.
Sherman witnessed the review with Lin
coln und tlio representatives of the foreign
powers and many lords and commoners
aboard the Tnmur. Ho speaks enthusiastic
ally of bis treatment aboard and su.ys ho
knew he waa not ut homo when ho discov
ered that not u single newspaper usked how
much the lunch cost. Ho will spend nnothcr
month in England and Scotland. Ho bus
been handsomely received everywhere. His
manner is full of a genially unknown to
many who come in contact with him at
homo.
Dopow made an immense hit aboard the
Teutonic during the naval review. There
were 200 guests , including cabinet ministers ,
members of both houses und ether high
dignitaries. A number of toasts were given.
Sir Charles Tapper responded to the toast of
Canada. Ho denrccatod the idea
of trouble between Canada and
tiio States , sDoko of both nations as great
countries , and put thorn on a par. Depow
was called on to respond to the toast of the
United States. Ho hud paid attention to
Tuppor , evidently determined to moro thau
square accounts in spite of the surroundings.
Ho said in such u little mutter as population ,
und such accumulations as population ,
energy , enterprise and marvellous inventive
genius naturally resulted in , the United
States might bo a llttlo In advance of Cnn-
adu ; but In extent of territory Canada was
certainly the equal to bur great neighbor | n
pansoj though it must bo confessed that
most of Canada's territory' was acres. Before -
fore tlio pause came thu Englishmen were
uuout to applaud. What followed froze them.
A few hiseod. Depow remained unmoved
and proceed to give his hearers an idea of
how rapidly acres costing $1 , GO became worth
$ 1,000 a front foot , und how
a husband in the west oiico
told him his chief pleasure was in
removing his wife's remains from one ceme
tery to another to nccommoduto the growing
wants of the town , as she had been im
mensely interested in its growth in life.
It was such a speech ns would have suulcon
Delmonleo'B walls , On the Tun'.onic on the
following day It was considered tlio great
speech of tlio trip. It had performed its
mlsbion , though n lltllo slow in gutting there.

Four or five Washington correspondents
met lust night und hud a mysterious conver
sation and parted. Four or ttvo newspapers
111 different sections of the country published
this morning n dispatch from Washington to
the effect that the question as to the filling
of the vacancy on the supreme court had
been settled , nnd that Secretary Noble was
the man chosen. Thrco or four months ago
President Harrison was absent for a day or
two , anil during his absence It was settled
with the utmost posltlveness , and upon no-
cdlled undeniable authority , that Attorney
Geucral Miller hud been decided upon us
the successor to Justice Matthews.
Two or thrco weeks ugo the presi
dent was again absent , and uuring
his absence a story was circulated
with the utmost positivcness that Secretary
Tracy was to go upon the supreme court
bench. The president had only boon away
from Washington about twelve hours yester
day when the third und latest story was
wired , and Secretary Noble was named for
this important position , All of these stories
stated , as n side Issue to the main fact , that
Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson is to
bo elevated to the cabinet as soon as the
president makes the vacancy. It is barely
possible that the president has some idea of
choosing ono of his cabinet ofllccrs for a
plnco on the supreme bench. Secretary Kusk
would not do. Mr. lilalne Is not a lawver.
Postmaster Guuer.xl Wananialtor has had no
legal training. It Is therefore likely that in ,
ttio political game of chess , Secretary Proc
tor will bo used to cbocKiimtc all other aspir
ants for the vacancy on the supreme court
bench. The president may have made up
his mind on this subject , but it is very
doubtful. Ho certainly has given out no in
timation of his determination , and Secretary
Noble said to-day that the report that ho Is
to go on the bench Is absurdly false.
NEIWASKA AHEAD.
The report of the chief ot the railway mail
service for the fiscal year shows that Ne
braska is u long way ahead of any ether
state in the union in the amount of mire-
ago of now railway service established dur
ing the year. The total number of miles
upon which this service was established in
the stuto was BSI2. It is said that there aru
applications on file for the establishment of
railway facilities on several other roads , and
that tlio probabilities are that at the end of
the present fiscal year Nebraska will again
bo near the top in this rosuect.

UVFFAI.O , N. Y , , August 7. This afternoon
the bystanders near the boat house at the
foot of Ferry street heard two explosions In
quick succession from the boat house of L.
13. Crocker , superintendent of the Now York
Control dock yards , In which Inn pleasure
yacht , the Cedar Ridge , was stored. Invi
mediately following the boat burst into
flames , which soon made n furnnca of the
Interior , Simultaneously with the explosion
two or three persons were thrown Into the
water us If from the force of the clmrgo.
Caleb Tolsma got a beat and picked
up a young woman , Miss McLean , aged
tweiity-olght from the water. Sco was baii-
ly burned and was taken to the hospital
At this tlmo the form of Mr. Crocker's ' young
son was seen standing on the boat dock
against n background of flro. Charles
Schwuigols seized a pike polo and extended it
townrds the littlu fellow till it almost touched
his breast , at the sumo time crying to him to
grasp it and ho would rescue him , but the
little follow seemed paralyzed and in a mo
ment fell back into the flro and was burned
to a crisp before the horrified gaza
of the onlookers. Schwoigols1 faea
was burned from his attempt
to rescue the boy , but now attention was di
rected to u carpenter clinging to a rafter
just over the bluzlng boat. Fora few moments
he lump desperately on his porch , nnd then ,
as If stuucllcd by the heat and sullocutcd by
the smoke , loosened his hold nnd dropped
below. Ills uiuiio was John Rugucnstcln ,
thirty years old , married. Ho leaves a wlfo
and five small children. The other children
of Crocker , Leonard Lemuel , u sou nwd
nine years nnd ton months , ana Ethel , n
daughter aced elcht years and nine months ,
also perished In the fhiuios. Another girl ,
Charlotte , aged fourteen , was blown into the
water and rescued therefrom mid sent along
with Miss McLean to the hospital.
The yacht is what is known us a nat > tha
launch , run by naphtha for fuel. It is sup
posed the accident was caused when the en
gineer lit the mutch for the ignition
of the fuel , by the explosion of
some gas which hud leaked out. The
family was preparing to go on
n pleasure trip , nnd Mr. Crooner had taken
his four children nnd Miss MoLcuu , a lady
friend of Detroit who is stopping with the
family , to the river for tin excursion.
Crocker himself barely escaped with his life.
Ho is almost insane with griof. Ilia wlfo
has been 111 for some time , und this grief
will probably kill hor. The condition of the
ether daughter and Miss McLean was re
ported as serious , but not necessarily fatal ,
at u lute hour to-night.

gineer bring a bag to hold the plunder.
Messenger Willis was ready with n maga
zine Hhotgun and two self-cocking revolvers.
The fireman was unable to chop through tha
boiler iron door , so the robbers llrod a dozen
shots through the car. Messenger
Willis lay on the floor nnd was
not hit. The robbers dared neb
show their heads nt the broken windows lost

joined two other robbers back in the ether
cura. The fnur wont through the train with ,
