Tic DAILY EXAMINER, AUGUST 8, 1890. The Trade of Montreal.

Somehow or other, says the Montreal Witness, people have been remarking of late chat the trade of the Montreal harbor was anything but prosperous. This is errone- ous. So far this seasun the exports have been very large. In fact, when the end of the season comes it is generally expected that the result will be the most satisfactory in the history of Montreal shippizg. On the other hand, during the former part of the season the imports were low ; but now they show signs of activity. The number of vessels of all classes which have arrived in port up to date is 339, compared with 327 for the same period of last year. The

advantage is that the most sensi- tive stomach can take it. Another thing which commends it is the stimulating properties of the Hy- ophboxphites which it contains.

large exports have made a substaatial in- crease in the ocean tonnage, and at the end of June it was 16 per cent. greater than for

the same period last year.

| The cattle shipping industry is enhancing ‘very substantially the trade of the port. Up to last Friday there were over 14,000 ;more cattle shipped from Montreal than last year in the same time. Last week saw the largest consignment ever shipped at one \time. Up to Friday last the figures were: | 44,910 cattle and 16,225 sheep, as compared with 32,482 cattle and 17,881 sheep, for the ‘tame period of last year. The cattle ship- ping trade, which was in its infancy « few years ago, stands now at the top of the ex- |port list, Each successive year shows an increase over its predecessor, and should this continue it will be found necessary to ‘add to the present well equipped cattle steamers running to Montreal. Cheese ex- ports are making a good development. The exports this year have been very large. ‘The same may be said of grain and deals. The pilotage dues show a good increase, while during the month of July there was a falling off about $1,000 out of a total of ‘about $40,000 wharfage dues.

Interesting and Useful Books.

, Several years ago the writer, travelling ‘abroad, visited a monastery, and among other curiosities shown him was a series of ‘bound volumes, the sides of which were | made of polished boards from the forests of | the country, showing the grain of the woods. | At first sight, the volumes presented the ‘aspect of bundles of wood. But after a more

careful fexamination it was found that they

contain a detailed account of the trees that : they represent. been detached in order to describe the title

of the book by its scientific and its common

i names.

One of the pages is formed by a broken piece of the wood of the tree, showing its fibres and natural fractures, the other shows

‘the wood when it has been polished and varnished. At one of the ends the fibres

are seen as they remain after the passage

of the saw, and at the other, the wood fine- ly polished. Upon opening the book, the \fruit, the grain, the leafage and other pro- ductions of the tree, the moss which gen- erally grows on the trunk, and the insects - which live on the different parts are seen. Added to this is a well printed description of the habits of the tree, the places where it grows, and its method of growth.

News Notes.

A strong crusade is about to be commenc- ‘ed in Montreal against tax emptions. The amount of exempted property there is $19, - |'745,210.

Reliable information shows that a crop of | 17,000,000 bushels of wheat will be secured {in the Northwest this year, of this quantity ‘the amount exported will probably reach 12,000,000 bushels.

' Valuable phosphate leads in the Wake- field district, about twenty miles from Ot- tawa, have just been discovered by a Cali- fornian miner named Dollar.

Again there is such terrible distress in Dakota that Canadian settlers deluded ‘there by Grit fictions are appealing to Canada for aid to return. Yet Grit journals persist in their efforts to persuade settlers to go to Dakota rather than Manitoba and our Western Territories in the hope that by luring a few victims to their rum chey “may manufacture an ‘‘exodus” to wail over.

The extraordinary improvement in the ‘beet root sugar industry of Germany gives ‘hope that this sugar will yet become a very i profitable staple on our own continent. In | 1868 it took 124 cwt. of beets to make 1 ‘ewt, of sugar. The improvement in the | quality of the beet and in methods of man- 'ufacture have since been so great that a 'ewt. of sugar is now obtained from only 9 lewt. of the roots.

Some Ruvsars.—Mr, John A. McKay, | of Graham’s Road, informs the Farmer ‘that he has grown in his garden a stalk of irheubarb the stalk of which measures 39 inches across. The stalk is two feet iong and very large, while the leaf from the

stalk to the tip is 34 inchos.

Put ix ror SHELTER.—The Journal says: Last Sunday a party of Shediac people, including a large representation of children, went out for a sail in the pilot boat, So hard did it blow after they started that they were forced to run to Summerside for shelter. The party returned Monday morning by the steamer Princess of Waies, and the pilot boat left for Point du Chene the same morning.

itp | A Prosecrep Excursion.—The Jowrnal ‘understands that a movement is on foot ‘here to secure the Heather Belle at an early date to convey a party from Summer- side to Tidnish, N. 8., on a visit to the ship railway. The idea is a good one, and |we hope to see it carried out. But why 'éannot a similiar excursion from Charlotte- téwn be organized ?

Kemmiler Executed. THE FIRST LEGAL EXECUTION BY ELECTRICITY.

Avpurn, N. Y., Aug. 5, 1490.—Kemm- ler was brought into the execntion room at 6.38 by Warden Durston, followed by Dr. Houghton and Chaplain Yales. He was dressed in a new suit, and was by far the coolest man in the party. He sat down composedly in a chair beside the execution chair, and was introduced to those present by the warden, who then announced that he had warned the convicted man that he must die, and asked Kemmler if he had anything to say. Kemmler spoke up with- out any hesitation as though he had _pre- pared his remarks, and said: ** Well, I wish every one good luck in this world, and I think I am going to a good place, and the papers have been saying a lot ot stuff that is notso. That is allI have to say.” He then turned his back on the jury, took off his coat and handed ‘t to the warden. At the conclusion of this speech he removed his coat, calmly arranged his necktie and sat down in the electric chair quietly as sitting down to dinner. Straps were ad- justed around his body, his arms fastened down and his feet placed close to the legs of the chair. While this was being done Kemmler repeatedly cautioned the warden ** not to hurry and to be sure -everything was all right.” It was not through fear that Kemmler thus spoke, but rather through a certain pride in the exactness of the experiment. The head piece was clamp- ed in place and the leather harness ad- justed to the head and face. During this time Kemmler maintained the same unruffled demeanor, and talked calm- ly to the warden about the adjustment of various parts of the electrical chair. The door leading into the room where switches were arranged was partly open and a man standing in the door. Beyend him were two other man, Which of these was to touch the lever and make connection with the ch -° was not known, and Warden Durston says never will be known. Everything was now in readiness, and at a signal from the warden at 6.43 the electric current was turned on. There was sudden convulsion of the form in the chair. A spasm went over it from head to foot, confined by the straps and springs that held it firmly so that no limb or other portion of the body stirred more than a small fraction of an inch from the resting place. The twitch- ing that the muscles of the face underwent gave to it for a moment an expression of pain, but no cry escaped from the lips, which were free to move at will, and no sound came forth to suggest that conscious- ness lasted more than an infinitely small fraction of a second, The body remained in this rigid position 17 seconds. There was no movement of the body beyond the first convulsion. At the expiration of ten seconds the current was switched off. There was a slight relaxation of the body in the chair, but the straps held it so firml that there was not a quarter of an inc variation in the position of any part of the frame. There was no question in the minds of any present that the form before them was lifeless. Preparations for a post mortem were being discussed when Dr. Bach suddenly noticed a red spot on the hand resting on the right arm of the chair, and from which blood was dropping. In- stanfly the order was given to again turn on the current. The dynamo was almost at a standstill, and although the engineer quickly responded to the command, it was not quick enough to anticipate the signs of what may or may not have been reviving consciousness, As the group of horror-stricken witnesses stood helplessly by, all eyes were fixed on the chair. Kemmler’s lips »segan to drop saliva, and ina moment more his chest moved, and from his mouth came a heavy, stentorian sound, quickening and increas- ing with every respiration. The wheezing sound—half groan—which forced itself past the tightly-closed lips sounded through the still chamber with ghastly distinctness. Some of the witnesses had to turn away from the sight, and one of them lay down faint and sick. In 73 seconds after the order was given for the second current the response came, and the sound that had hor- rified the listners about the chair was cut off sharply as the body once more became rigid. The dynamo was run up to its high- est speed, and again and again the full cur- rent of 2,000 was sent through the body on the chair. As the anxious group si silently by it was seen that the body was burning, and a pungent, sickening odor permeated the atmosphere. The current was shut off and there was a relaxation of the body. Kemmler was dead. Dr. Spitza says the scientific uncertainty of the new execution law leads him to believe that this method will not be adopted in other States, and that this will be the first and last electrical execution. Dr. Shrady said the execution was brutal, worse than hanging, probably not so painful, but the failure to kill at the first application was barbarous, Expert Huntley said no one can depict in words the apparent horrible sufferings of the man in the interval be- tween the the first and second application of the electrical current.

Ausurn, N. Y., Aug. 6.—An examin- ation of _Kemmler’s brain showed that the brain hardened directly under the spot where the electric current came into con- tact with the skull, The blood at that spot was hardened, showing the current had direct action on the brain.
