spectators.
Tho contact was quickly repeated
but still the stethescopes recorded
cardiac action and the head electrode
Hashed brilliantly and there was an
odor of burning hair.
The executioner said it was the
ponge beneath the electrode. Il<
adjusted it more tightly he lore tin
next shock.
Among those who made a test with
the stethescope was Dr. U. S. Stein
of Buffalo, and he reported that t.li<
heart had ceased to heat. When hi
had resumed his seat in the front row
and the fifth contact had been turnei
on, he suddenly pitched forward am
fell to the floor in a swoon. He wa:
picked up bv three keepers and carriet
from the death chamber, but soor
revived.
State Electrician Davis. In charge ol
the execution, explained the gurgling
in White'? throat by saying that hf
held his breath for a few moment?

He declared that White was prac.tlallj

n client with grand larceny* and oh- j
taming money under false pretenses.
l?lovor was paroled In custody of his
counsel. When the case was called,
he did not appear, and the assistant
district attorney declared ,he had violated
his parole. Another warrant
was procured, hut has not been served.
Investigation is said to have disclosed
the fact that Glover, immediate
ly alter the urrest. drew ?2l),000 from
a bank in Richmond Hill. L. I., and
leaving his wife at their country
house, went to his office in New York.
Since then he has not been seen.
The charges upon whilh Glover was
arrested are to the effeet that he, as ,
president of the New Kork Accident
Security company, accepted fees of $1

was to investigate their claims
and adjust damages should the client
meet wit h accident. In this case

IMPREStlVE CEREMONY.
flev, Francis Bourne EnthrensB M
Archt>l?hpp of Westminster.
.London, Dec. 2\>.?Tr.e most Rer.
Francis Bourne, Roman Catholic arch*
bishop of Westminster, was enthroned ~~
In the new cathedral ot Westminster
today wHh the impressive ceremony
incidental to such occasions. The
vast building was lilled to its capacity
by ecclesiastical and laynpen members
of the Roman Catholic church,
the robes of the officiating clergy and
the varied garbs of the numerous religious
orders, forming a conspicuous
contrast with the brick walls and bare
looking, unilnislied eddflce.
rnc cathedral of Westminster, consecrated
today, is the first Roman
Catholic cathedral that has stood in
the metropolitan see of England since
the reformation. The building was
begun only eight years ago, though, it
was projected by Cardinal WUemsn
(who died in 1863), and was planned
by his successor, Cardinal Manning.
The extreme length otff the new
cathedral outside is 360 feet; width
166 feet; height of nave 117 feet and
covers on acre of about 54,000 square
feet.
The general view of the inner walls
is SvtiM one of bare rough brick.
The scheme Is to cover the whole
of the lower walls and the piers to the
height of about 40 feet with marble.
All the upper part and the vaults and
domes will be decorated with mosaic
work illustrating the history of the
church.
The total subficrlption before Che
laying of the foundation stone waa
over 5250.0(H). Since then there hare
been many large Individual benefactions,
and the total expenditure on t-ha
entire edifice up to the end of October
was over a million dollars.
The cathedral starts clear of debt.
