TO SUPERCEDE HANGING. The New York Capital Punishment Commission's Report. BUFFALO, Jan. The report of the capital punishment commission will be presented to the legislature on Tuesday next Mr. Elbridgo T.

Gerry, who has been in Europe for some time, cabled his coadjutors that in case he could not return in time to confer with them they should make a preliminary report and ask for further time. Dr. Southwick, of this city, another member of the commission, went to Albany to meet Mr. Matthew Hale, the third member. Before his departure Dr.

Southwick was asked what the result of the commission's labors would be. He replied: "The weight of opinions expressed in the replies received by the commission to the circular sent out to prominent lawyers, judges and others, asking their views on the subject, is against hanging, and in favor of electricity. The report, therefore, will be in favor of the adoption of some electrical apparatus for execution. That is the end toward which I have been working for six years." said the doctor, "and if the report of our commission does not culminate in the passage of a bill abolishing hanging I shall begin to think that have been working in vain. "I Have noticed that the bill introduced in our legislature last year was copied in Paris, and similar one introduced by Frenchman in their legislative body, Germany has taken up the question, and I have just read that in New Jersey attention has been called to our agitation of the matter.

I wish that the Empire state would take the initiative in this step toward a broad humanity. "The only argument that can be brought in favor of hanging is that of its deterrent effect, but I maintain that a painless death would have just the same influence upon society if it was accomplished in secret. Let prisoner be confined in a state prison and be removed from life painlessly and secretly, without the hurrah sensation that attends a hanging." CHILDREN IN A SEWER. Marvelous Escape From Death of Two Little Girls. NIAGARA FALLS, Jan.

Run creek passes under this town by means of sewer a quarter of mile long. During thaws in winter it is swollen into a small river, which runs with great rapidity, flows over the precipice near the Whirlpool Rapids' park, and falls into Niagara river. The creek was in this swollen and turbulent condition Saturday evening when a handsleigh, in which was seated Bortha Farrell, 4 years and 10 months old, slid down the current, which was running rapidly. No sooner had Bertha got into the stream than her sister Blanche, aged 10, jumped in after her and both were swept into the sewer. An alarm was raised and a rush made for the mouth of the sewer to prevent tAp little ones from going over the precipice.

Mos, secured by ropes, got into the water at the outlet of the sewer and waited for the children. Little Bertha came out first. She was under the water and caught undor a log. Soon afterward camo Blanche, floating on top. Both children were from appearances lifeless; not even a breath or a heart was discernible, and it took long and patient work to bring them back to life.

Tho children passed underground fully a quarter of a mile and were in the water ten minutes, most of the time submerged. BOLD HIGHWAYMEN Go Through an Express and Mall Car in Texas. FORT WORTH, Jan. 24. -Two masked men boarded the engine of the eastbound train on the Texas and Pacific railroad just as it pulled out from Gordon station Sunday morning.

Drawing revolvers on the engineer and firemen, they ordered them to go on 1 until a trestle two miles east of the station was reached. Here they compelled the engineer to stop the train in such a way that the baggage, express and mail cars were on the road bed, while the passenger cars were on the trestle, and the passengers could not leave them. Six masked men who had been waiting at this point now boarded the train, and the eight robbers went through the express car safe, getting all the money packages and valuables, and through the mail bags, taking all the registered packages, twenty-oight in number. They then left the train and rode away, without molesting the passengers. The Pacific Express company refuse to say how much their loss is, and the reports vary from $2,000 to $15,000.

The value of the registered mi is, of course, unknown. Thus far no clu to the robbers has been obtained. Anna Elizabeth Ball Dead. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 24.

-Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Ball, well known throughout the state for her connection with the "Underground railroad," died at her residence, No. 980 Auburn street, where she had resided for the past forty-six years. Mrs. Ball was born slave in Lancaster county, and was owned by Col.

Jesse Ball, of Virginia, who moved into the state about 1797. He liberated all his slaves about 1812, when Mrs. Ball was quite young. She came to this city about 1830, and took an active inter in the Underground railroad. She had a record of sixtythree slaves whom she aided to freedom and used to beast that no slaves were ever captured or taken back who passed through her hands.

Killed is a Railroad Wreck. CARMI, Jan. 24. -The Louisville and Nashville passenger train was wrecked short distance from this city. The fireman, Robert Gray, and the engineer, name unknown, were instantly killed.

The train was running at a high rate of speed at the place indicated, when one of the driving wheels of the engine broke. The engine was ditched with the fatal result, and the express and baggage cars. were completely wrecked. The express messenger and baggage master, however, escaped with alight injuries. The smoking car was turned on its side, but the passengers sustained only a few bruises.

The inmates of the car were rudely shaken up, but none were injured. Clergyman in Jail. ERIE, Jan. circles in the western part of this county were greatly shocked by the arrest of their most popular clergyman, the Rev. L.

BOTH HOUSES WILL MAKE A RUSH THIS WEEK. The Senate Rule of Keeping Closed Doors Does Not Suit Correspondents. Vermont's Senator and the Elevator. Seoret Signal Stolen. WASHING TON, Jan.

24. -It is very probable that congress will crowd through business during this week which would, under ordinary circumstances, occupy a whole month. Especially is this rush to be the order in the senate, which took up to-day, according to notice given on Friday by Mr. Edmunds, the report the bill on the fisheries question. The former is the result of the investigation made by a special committee of the senate last autumn, and the latter is the outgrowth of that work.

The report occupies 980 pages, and the debate would cover several days, were it not that Mr. Edmunds determined, if possible, to get vote by Tuesday evening. Mr. Beck is yet anxious to complete consideration of his bill prohibiting congressmen from acting as attorneys for subaidized railroads, and will call that up if opportunity presents itself. The bill establishing agricultural expertmental stations is the unfinished business, hewever, and therefore has the right of way.

The Sunday olvil appropriation bill is about ready te be reported, and may up The without aunouncement at any conference report on the win receive early attention dally when presented. bill to anticipated, and The senate will spend a good deal of time in secret sessien considering the British extralisten and Nicaraguan canal treaties, nominations, etc. In the house of representatives a number of measures will contend for the floor. The river and harbor bill and the Hatch bill for the treatment of pleuro-pneumonia occupy equal positions, and either may be taken up or crowded aside for something which the house may consider of more importance. The contested election of Page vs.

Pirce, of Rhode Island, may also be a competitor for consideration. On the calendar are the postoffice, the consular and diplomatic and the District of Columbia bills, and these may be taken up as privileged subjects at any time. Thursday has been set aside as a special order for the bill granting right of way to a street cable railway in this city, and it is beHeved that this measure will hold its place. A great deal of suppressed wrath is visible in certain in quarters because of the action of the ordering the doors te be kept closed for ten minutes after each secret session, in order to give senators time to leave the Capitol before the public is admitted to the chamber. There are many persons who have Business with senators and who are unable to get to the Capitol, under ordinary circumstances, until late in the day.

Under the new rule they will invariably find the membors of the upper house locked up. Heretofore these visitors constituents, etc. -have tarried until the doors reopened, but now, under the new order of things, this would be a waste of time, as senators make haste to leave the chamber during the minutes the doors remain closed, and when they are reopened the venerable Capt. Bas sett and his assistant, Jantes Christy, are about the only persons visible. Senator Edmunds is credited with having proposed the new arrangement.

The Vermont statesman's suggestions are generally adopted. It was but a day or so ago that a newspaper correspondent standing on the second or main floor of the senate wing of the Capitol, waiting elevator, which had just gone up, to return in order to ride down, heard three sharp, quick rings of the call bell. Besides the correspondent, there were several distinguished persons also waiting to use the olovator. Notwithstanding the fact that they had severally given the signal to stop at the second floor, the conductor of the elevator ran by them in great haste, and in a second or two the secret was ont. The elevator returned with a sole occ ator Edmunds--who, without looking north or south, walked very deliberately to the chamber and took his seat.

"Why did you not answer our signal and take us down with you before?" asked one of the party. "The signal given from below has preference here, was the only response. The correspondent made a mental note of the circumstance, and ever since, when he he is in hurry, rings three times quickly and up or down, as the case may be, shoots the elevator, no matter who, or how many persons may be standing on the intermediate floors, and it is whispered that the Vermont senator kinaself was recently left behind by the correspondents making use of the private signal. The most amusing part of the whole affair is too see the disappointed expression of the conductor, after responding to the private signal, when he discovers that the senator is pop waiting for him. The Post, in a story about changes soneterial, says: "Soldiers are getting rather scarce in the senate--at least Federal soldiers are, for there are plenty of er-Confederates.

In the senate, 88 it standa, seventy-six in number, there are only seven men who fought on the Union side during the war, but sixteen whose names are on the muster roll of the Confederacy. Of the ex-Federals it is probable that only three will be left when the senate is called 'to order at the commencement of the next seasion. Warner Miller, who is the only private who ever sat in the senate, and Van Wyek have already been beaten, Harrison and Sewell are doubtful, and Hawley is the only one on the list who comes back. He, with Manderson and Plumb, will have to answer to all the toasts to the Federal soldiers in the United States sonate. Of the fifteen Republican senators who will be sworn in on the 4th of March next, four wore the Confederate gray.

This will leave the senate with twenty ex-Confederates and; only three ex- Foderals. Mrs. Voorhees' Funeral. WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.

-The funeral of Mrs. Voorhees, wife of Senator Voorhees, took place Sunday afternoon at the senator's residence on street. The fun-ral services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Leonard, of St.

THE IRISH ORATOR SPEAKS TO A LARGE AUDIENCE. His Faith in the Irish Cause Seems to be Strong--He Intimates that His Countrymen will Itesort to Force 11 Great Britain Does not Yield. NEw Jan. The grand demonstration tendered to Michael Davitt in Madison Square garden last evening was one of the largest affairs of the kind ever held in this city, the entire building being packed to overflowing long before the time announced for the exercises to begin.

The general admission was fifty cents, with reserved sents at 81 and $1.50. It was estimated that fully 10,000 persons attended. Gilmore's band enlivened the proceedings with numerous popular airs, among selections played being "The Wedding March," "'St. Patrick's Day," "The Harp That Through Tara's Hail," and "The Irish Patrol." Nearly every Irish society in the city was represented. There were also delegations present from Irish socities in the New England states, New Jorsey and Pennsylvania.

The streets in the vicinity of the garden were paoked by a dense crowd unable to obtain admission. Patrick Ford, of The Irish World, presided and among those who occupied seats upon the platform were Michael Davitt, his wife and sister, who were greeted with tremendous applause upon ascending the platform; T. V. Powderly, Fathers Larkin and Kelly and a number of ladies. At 8 o'clock the crowd in the building became so great that Capt.

Williams as a measure of safety ordered all the doors of admission closed. Letters of regret were read? from Senators Sawyer, Dawes, Vance, Manderson, Sewell, Aldrich, and Sabin, Congressmen Cutcheon, Johnston, Lyman, White, and others. Mr. Ford introduced the speaker of the evening, who was received with cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs lasting for several minutes. Mr.

Davitt said the circumstances under which the demonstration was held, in his opinion, made it one of the greatest and grandest that had ever assembled in the Empire City. He felt proud to address such an assemblage- that had gathered to send a message of good cheer to Ireland and also to send one of warning to Ireland's enemy. He felt sure he had the good wishes of all present when now about to return to Ireland to work out the political and social freedom of Ireland. After referring to an article written by Mr. Labouchere, in which he denounced the English, poor government tenant for farmers its in inhuman many treat- parta of Ireland, he said no people on the face of the earth had shown moro patience for law and order under trying circumstances than the people of Ireland.

He believed that it would be an act of insanity to resort to undisciplined force to oppose disciplined power. (A voice don't know about Ireland must achieve her liberty and be one of the countries of the world. God only knows for many years we have smothered down feelings bitterness caused by the cruel treatment the English government, but the time had come when unless Ireland's, of just Irishmen claims wore would show recognized to England that justice could be vindicated against even such a great government as Grent Britain. (Cries of "Give her He felt sure the people of England would restore to power the statesman that had given evidence of his desire to treat Ireland with fairness. (Cries of "Hurrah for Gladstone, the grand old After reviewing the history of the origin of the Irish land troubles, the speaker said millions of dollars had been sent from this country to gladden the cabins of.

poor Irish peasants, but in most cases the money had found its way into the pockets of Irish landlords. (Groans.) The farmers of Ireland were weighed down with taxes amounting to $70,000,000 a year, and even with the assistance obtained from America it was now almost impossible for the farmers to pay rack rents to Irish landlords. If the oppressions continuo much longer, said Mr. Davitt, although numerically weak, we will show the British government that we come from a race that knows how to die for liberty, and no opposition on the part of the government or landlords can long obstruct the succeesful march of the Irish cause. After speaking of the good feeling generally existing between the workingmen of Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales, who, he said, would stand by the side of Gladstone in closing his great career by trying to restore to Ireland the power and freedom that had been stolen from her, Mr.

Davitt concluded by saying that he could not pass over in silence the course of his friend Father McGlynn. He thought that if Dr. MoGlynn had been defending England or opposing the Land League in 1882, instead of advocating the cause of the Irish people, he would not have been warned from Rome to stop, and might have been archbishop of New York to-day. For the interference of the church at that time Mr. Davitt blamed Cardinal Ho thought Dr.

McGlynu should go to Rome, and rely upon fair treatment from the pope. He eulogized the priest, and declared that he deserved the sympathy of every lover of freedom. Henry George was present at the meeting. CRUSHED BY THE ICE. Gorge in the Maumee River That Threatens Trouble.

TOLEDO, Jan. 24. -The ice in the Maumee river, opposite Toledo, let go shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon and went crashing down the river. The Cherry street bridge withstood the pressure. The Union railroad bridge was not so fortunate, and 250 feet of the east end were carried away and ground into splinters.

The ice abreast of Toledo was very soft, but that in the upper river was from twelve to eightegn inches thick. It has withstood the thaw well and passed here with a thickness of eight or ten inches. The ice has now piled up against the Pennsylvania Railroad bridge, and there is imminent danger that about 400 feet of that structure will be wrecked. The river below the city is shallow, and much of the ice that passed down is imbedded in the mud, forming a gorge, and at 9 o'clock last evening the water in the river had risen three feet in consequence. A dispatch from Turkey Foot Rock, fifteen miles above, says that ice is piled up in the river twenty-five feet high, and the water is overflowing the banks and doing much dam- age, Mechaniciau and Inventor.

The Political Parties Getting Ready for Aotion. BOSTON, Jan. 24. -E. A.

Perry's cable from London to the Herald: The usual meeting Irish Parliamentary party, in preparation for the work of the session, will be held in London instend of Dublin early this week. As the legislative plans of the government are still indistinct, and Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Randolph Churchill have to define their respective positions, the programme of the Irish members will, of necossity, be largely an expectant, one. There was something of a dispute as to whether Mr.

Thomas Dixon, who may be regarded as the lender of the Gladstone Liberals in Ireland, or Mr. Timothy Healy as Nationalist, pure and simple, will be the Parnell candidate for the South Donegal seat, vacated by the death of Mr. Bernard Kelly. The constituency is strongly Nationalist, and the party nomination is equivalent to an election. It is argued by the Home Rule Liberals that Mr.

Dixon should have the seat, partly as a resignation of Mr. Gladstone's claims upon tho Parnellites, partly because his presence in the house would have a beneficial influence upon Mr. Lea, of South Londonderry, and Mr. Russell, of South Tyrone, the two Irish members of the Unionist Liberal party. The matter has finally been settled by the selection of a third candidate, Mr.

Swift McNeill, a Protestant Nationalist, whose election by Roman Catholic constituency will, it is thought, have a favorable effect in Ulster. Mr. Healy, however, will not be left out of parliament, as he is to succeed Mr. Justin McCarthy in the northern division of Longford. A curious story is current that Lady Colin Campbell, who, by the way, has resumed her charitable labor at the West End, sent a Now Years' card with appropriate mottoes to every juror who sat in her case, THE COAL STRIKE.

A Rumor of a General Strike Cannot be Verified. NEW JERSEY, Jan. was reported as long ago as Friday, but apparently without much foundation, that James E. Quinn, the master workman of District assembly 49, had telegraphed from Philadelphia with reference to the conl strike, that on Monday all the men in the coal mines and on the coal wharves, and Knights of Labor on the railroads would suspend operations. The rumor could not be traced to a responsible source then, Yesterday, however, conservative Knight of Labor said that something or other of that kind was going on, but he could not tell exactly what.

This resolution, presented by the International Boatmen's union was adopted by the Contral Labor union, yesterday: That the necessity of the situation, with the scarcity of coal, demands that some action should be taken to protect families of the poor. Therefore, be it Resolved, That all retail dealers are requested to keep the stock now on hand for family use and sell no coal to steam users until the strike is over. This includes all coal sold to stores, offices, and manufactories. SOCIALISTS HISS THE QUEEN. Canon Clarke Threatens to Immerse Mr.

Burna LONDON, Jan. thousand unemployed Socialists attended church services at Battersea, Chamberwell, Paddington, and other parishes. placo were attended by a strong escort of police. In Battersea church Canon Clarke preached and defended himself against attacks made upon him by the Socialists, After the services, during which the Socialists preserved utmost good order, Burns, the Socialist leader, made a speech to his fellow Socialists outside the church, taking occasion to denounce Canon Clarke in most violent terms and brand him. as a liar.

Canon Clarke intorrupted the speaker and en threatened to immerse him in a horse trough which stood near. The clergyman then left the scene amid the jeers and hoots of the crowd. The queon and the royal family were roundly hissed by another contingent of Socinlists who attedned St. Luke's church, Chelsea, but beyond this interruption to the services conduct of the followers of Hyndman Burns was quite orderly. than At the doorway of the Camberwell church a Socialist beggar stood with a box, but his appeal for alms met with a poor response.

Incendiariam in Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 24. -Patrolman Fitzgerald saw a bright light in Frederick A. Ragalen's saloon in the basement of the Allen house, a small European hotel at Peck court and State street early yesterday morning, and an investigation showed that the interior was in blaze.

He summoned the firemen, and then aroused the forty guests in the hotel before there was time for a panic. The flames were confined to the saloon, which cost Ragalen a few months ago $1,200 and on which there was an insurance of $1,500, The fire was evidently the work of an incendiary. Petroleum had been sprinkled liberally around the saloon, and every gaspipo was open. Ragalen is in Michigan, and his wife and son have been running the saloon. They gave the police no clue to the fire.

Georgia's Total Crop. MACON, Jan. 24. -The total crop yield for 1886 in Georgia is thus given by Commissioner Henderson: Cotton, 840,000 bales of 450 pounds; corn, 26,000,000 bushels; wheat (half a crop), 1,900,000 bushels; oats, 4,700,000 bushels. The average cash price paid for bacon in the state during the year was 8 cents per pound, while the average price on time, payable Nov.

1, was cents. The average cash price for corn was 68 cents, and the time price 93 cents. Tlie farmer purchasing supplies on time pays in this way about 42 per cent. on bacon and per cent. on corn for about four months' time, which is equivalent to rates of interest of 126 and 104 per cent.

A WOMAN'S STORY OF A TUMBLE DOWN HILL. Falling 400 Feet Into a Snow Bank and Receiving no Particular Damage A Rather Startling Experience It True. CHICAGO, Jan. T. J.

Townsley, the Chicago lady who was in the stage conch that toppled down Independence Pass, Colorado, last month, just arrived in this city. Mrs. Townsley says: daybreak on Dec. 16 I was awakened at my hotel in Leadville and informed that the Aspen stage conch was waiting for me, It was bitter cold, and was snowing so hard that the driver had to pilot me to the coach. I had on a heavy double fold dress, a soalskin sacque, a Buffalo robe pinned over my shoulders, my head covered by a fur cap, and my face enveloped in a shawl, allowing an aperture for my eyes, Despite all theso protections I was frightfully cold.

The coach was drawn by six horses. We were preceded by the Granite coach, which was on runners. The road over Elk Mountain will admit of but a single coach passing. At the apex of the mountain the Granite coach halted in a station blasted out of the rock and allowed us to go ahead. Here the descent began.

The road at this point runs at an incline of 45 degs. The driver put on his lock chain to the wheels, thus virtually converting them into runners. The vehicle, despite these precautions, and by its own weight went down at a frightful pace. We could barely keep our soats. We balanced ourselves as best we could.

Rumming up from the truck and through the box of the conch was a perpendicular bar of steel called the king pin. I clung to this and managed to keep myself right side up. Down the narrow path, in the side of the mountain, we went with the horses in a mad gallop to keep the coach from running them down. We were rounding Independence Pass, when suddenly the driver called: Jump, jump for your- "He never finished the sentence. He had been holding the coach as near the embankment at as the narrow pass would permit.

Ahead him he saw a heavy boulder topple and fall down the mountain side and into the path. This caused him to' make the cry of warning. The obstruction was but twenty yards ahead of him, and it was beyond human power to stay the impetus the coach had gotten coming down the incline. I saw the driver leap. Inside we all held on to the king pin.

Down we went, and in another instant the forward wheels struck the rock. The hind part of the coach was thrown forward and outward, and the king pin snapped like a reed. The box, with all in it, went the precipice on its side, and through the window I fell out. Loss fortunate than myself, the coach and my fallow tourists lodged in a crevice on the side of the precipice some 180 feet below the road. was thrown out with such force that I cleared this crag and kept on and down the full 400 feet to the bed of the canyon and into a bank of snow, cutting my way into it, as it it was water, head first.

Tho Granite coach just to the rear of 118 pulled into a notch in the rocks, and the driver and some prospecters got out and began to olimb down to where I had lodged, Armed with shovels, they began to dig the ont, and it is curious to relate that the only flesh wound I received was from the blade of a shovel, which ploughed up a furrow in my ankle when they reached me. I was finally dug out, unconscious, and to all appearances dead. Restoratives were administered, and I was tAken up and carried to the toll house at. the head of the cliff. Here my hands and limbs were rubbed, and my faco slapped until my cheeks were raw.

But all to 110 avail. I was black in the face, and there was audible or visible respiration. I in the care of the toll keeper and the Grauite coach passengers, while the two drivers started for Aspen, thirteen miles distant, to summon surgical aid. One of the party roturned at midnight with doctor. In the mean time I had revived, sustaining no other injuries than the cut inflicted by the shovel." PINKERTON'S VICTIM BURIED.

Great Throngs Attend the Funeral of the Unfortunate Boy. JERSEY CITY, Jan. 24. -The funeral of: Tommy Hogan, the boy who was shot and killed last Thursday by one of the Pinkerton detectives who were guarding the Delaware and Lackawana docks at Hoboken, took place at 8 p. m.

yesterday ad St. Michael's church, in that city. All day long the residence, in the rear of No. Grove street, was besieged by visitors, who met in struggling streams in the alley leading from the street to the house, and continually packed to suffocation the second story back room in which the body of the dend boy lay. From early, morn until 3:30 p.

when the body was taken to the church, it is estimated that not less than 7,000 people visited the house. A large proportion of them were children. The body a neat coffin, at the foot of which was a floral pillow with the inscription, "Our Comrade," which bad been sent by the dead boy's companions. No special feature marked the services at the church. It had been expected that 1 the Rev.

Father Boylan would make a few remarks, but he confined himself to the simple burial service, at the conclusion of which the procession reformed and marched to the new cemetery, where the body was interred.
