INSTKAI) OF lil INC llANt-' " What Bleetrlvluus say ofTuktug I MO by Heit I tit ol it llnttory. (From the M>ir YorU St.ir.) Some Now i'ork physicians tliink that improvements ii? ha tuon;1' MO urgently needed. They want to make the death penalty easy, pleasant and delightful. Electricity has been proposed by them for capitol punishment, and the Legisla ture yosterday considered a bill to sub stitute the elect l ie battery for tho hang man's rope. An electrician at the Ellson building in Pearl street, whore electricity is man- ! ufactured for illuminating purposes, was yesterday tsked how people might be killed with neatness and dispatch by electricity. Ila said that it was the easiest matter in the world. AU a con demned man would have .o do at the hournud moment when ho was to leave tho world tor brighter climes, would be to take hold of two wires, one connected. with a positivo hatti. und tho other with a uogativo battery. Acting thus ns a conductor between the two wires the electricity would go through bim Uko n stroke ot Lightning. Ho would die iu an intlnitesimal [motion ol n second. His taking oft" would bo ao painless ns it was sudden. He would never know what had hil him. Ito might stand on two j .?ates, receive Hu- electric current through Iiis toes mid die with his bo,,H on. Ho might sit in u chair with Iiis foot resting on tho plates and dio comfortably. Killing tho condemned by electricity is u humane, eivi?zod und scientific way of disposing of them. A mau is usually sixteen minutes in dying at tho end of a hangman's rope, and ho usually suffers a great deni before ile..;h comes to relieve him. A one-cell battery w.u.ld kill nil the prisoners w ho will ever be hanged in tho Tombs under tho present law. The only people opposed t<> the u>e of elec tricity in capital punishment aro tho hangmen, and they ure opposed to it be cause it would throw them out of work. If the gallows uro taken down all the hangmen in tho country will strike. itisitor -i M I'SON" . Tom. The llcnutifiil Mausoleum lirceteil l?y Mr-*. Simpson M, \\, [.aurel nm.
