Great Dissatisfaction Over the tlvlln af the Relief Fund. July 161 Judge mln and William state -relief cominiwrffn, have arrived from Cro-son Springs.

These gentlemen immediately opened their office for payment of the $500,000 of the governor's fund and $400,000 of the Pittsburg relter committee's fund. About 100 applicants, mostly of the lower 'J classes, were In waiting. As the warrants were issued and. the amounts handed ont, 'after being sworn to by the applicants, there Vras one grand howl of indignation and disappointment at the small amounts awarded. To illustrate: The well known Chas.

8. Dick, one of town's most prominent citizens lost $5,000 by tbe flood. Dick filed a claim for $3,000. His warrant was filled out for $80. Dick i was angry, and na mistake, refusing to ac- cept the amount awarded.

A neighbor of Dick, whose losses were much greater, also received a warrant for $S0. Dp to 12 o'clock sixty-three persons had received Horace Rose and John F. Linton, have joined hands with Charles Dick and refuse to take the oath required-It is thought tbat the better class of peo ple will refuse to accept such amounts as are now being offered, and that there will yet be serious trouble over tbe division of the money. The highest amount paid to anyone per son was $200; tbe lowest $50.

A SX7MOB that has been circulated in bill- ess and commercial circles the past few days is to the effect tbat Austin Corbio, President of the Beading corporationi, is to start an American steamship line between New York and Liverpool.

The scheme Is not new with Mr. Cor sin, behaving thought of it years ago. Its prominent features were the following: The erection of immense piers and docke at Montauk Point, the eastern extremity of Long Island. This would be about one hundred acd twenty miles nearer Europe than the docks of the other steamship companies and would be a virtnal shortening of the voysge by that distance. Lightning express trains would connr ct at the piers and transport ptssengers to New York city, or rather Brooklyn, and swift ferry boats to the metropolis.

To these facilities were to be added the fastest sailing steamers that could be built. Br theee facilities the time to Europe could be reduced to five days. Western people cither outward or homeward bound would not touch New York city at all as they would ga via Staten Island over the Arthur Kill bridge. As a first step to tbe accomplishment of this idoa, large tracts of land have been bought near Montank Point and preliminary surveys made. There to one serious obstacle to ths success of this scheme as a paying investment, and that to the cost of the vessels.

With a high protective tariff It has been almost impossl ble for American ship builders to con pete with the Clyde, and as a conieoaence, the hips built at ths latter place excel our own makes. Still the increased traffio that Mr Oorbtn can confidently expect may produce enough return to pay dividends on the capital is vested. In any event the experiment will watched with interest.

GEEEYTAV0ES GABEOTING. i Interesting Investigations "of the New York State Commission to Provide a More Humane Method Than Hang- lug Pelsoa and Kkw Tobk, July li The reference to ascertain how a person is klllod by electricity was continued. Commodore Gerry, chairman of the commission appointed in 1880 to provide a more humane method of execution than banging, testified respecting work of the commission.

The commissio.f found that there were over forty methods of inflicting death. The guillotine was proposed, but after discussion rejected In consequence of its connection with the French Revolution and its general bloody history. Two other methods were proposed, but both found inferior to the rope. The garrote, Mr. Gerry said, was one method he was greatly in favor of, deeming it equal in expediency and painfullness with hanging and electrioity.

Poison Was Proposed. eoaaaMau It was pro- Poison was another method of execution posed to execute by hyperdermlc injection of morphia or prussio acid. This plan was opposed by a large number of medical men, who claimed that it required skill to make a proper injection, and that it would be hard to find a medical man who would act as executioner. Besides the doctors thought it would prejudice the people's mind against hyperdennic injections as medical relief. The commission issued circulars and sent them to various judges and dootors throughout the state asking them which1 of four methods the guillotine, the garrote, poison by prusslc acid or electricity they thought a better method of execution than hanging.

A Majority Favored Hanging. There were 275 answers received, in which 81 favored hanging, 73 wanted electricity, and 110 were Of those who voted for electricity was Thomas A. Edison, whom Mr. Gerry said he considered the greatest modern In the correspondence of electrical experts to the commission, many stated their doubts as to the certainty of death by electric shock. The commission carefully considered all these doubts, but finally selected electricity as the mode of execution to succeed hanging.

Mr. Gerry was not cross-examined. The Proposed Chicago Ship Yard. Chicago, July ia O. W.

Potter, of the Illinois Steel company, said concerning the proposed ship yard for Chicago: "The Illinois Steel company does aim at a diversity of product and does hope to aid in the construction of steel ships in Chicago, but our plans have not taken definite shape yet. Mr. Morse has been east attending to tbe negotiations, and on his return he will tell you what has been accomplished. But the Minnesota Iron company has not appointed any man to superintend the work hare. We haven't got so far along as that The company is in shape to ship 1,000,000 tons of ore a year, and as most of the ore goes east, it is shipped by Lake Erie porta.

It needs large ships to carry this ore, and has concluded that it must have them. We think these vessels might as well be built in Chicago as in Detroit or Cleveland, and tbe yard will probably be located at South Chicago."

The stcck of coal on band shows an increase for the month of Jnne of about fifty 6re thouiaod torn although the total amount on hand shows a decrease over the corresponding time ltst year of one million tons.

Even with this decrease la production, apparently the stock on hand Is too large for the Lhih and Wi'kes-Barre Company has shut dawn its mines around the city for the remainder of the wsek and the suspension may last much longer. With the improvement in the iron market the demand for coal should Increase and thus make better times for the miners, but an improvement is not confidently expected yet for some time.

The only thing it has now to build npon ii the county vote, and it is making frantic appeals to the farmers to corns in and produce a candidate, lit cognizing the fact that its three city entries have no chance to take the Sheriff prize, it has started out to find some granger candidate. We opine that tit nrdy yeomanry of the county know the Leader well enough to avoid the trap which it so cunningly sets.

If the farming districts preaent a good candidate for any office the Nbws-Dbalbb will give him cordial sup port but at present we hear of no country candidates and nntil we do we shsll not break our necks tndeavanng to fiud them. The Scranton Bepublican ef yesterday edi torially says: There appears to be ths live'iest kind of a hunt for candidates for Sheriff by the party papers of Luzerne county. The Democratic annuls are also vigorously in search of a casdidate for Jarige who ia willing to be boLd out by Judge Rice at the ensnine election. No one has yet appeared who ready to sacrifice himself. The Democratic journals of Luzerne com ty re not on a hunt for candidates for Sheriff.

The Republicans of this county have not succeeded in electing their candidate for Sheriff for thirty years and they will not da it this ear either. As fur as the judicial contest li concerned let tbe Republican possess i soul in patience. On a straight fight tie Democracy has always won and so they shall again. The Republican should remember two years ago whei it advertised for a candidate for Congress, and fonnd him. Literary Metes.
