ELECTRICITY MADE BY WIND.
At Slight E-pens* It li Possible to Fit
Your Hons* with Incandescents
New York Press: Mr. J. A. Corcoran
of Jersey City has just completed a
novel experiment in the application of a
windmill to an electric lighting plant
The plant, though an experimental
one, is now in operation without as
yet a single mishap, and the storage
cells furnish current for twenty
four incandescent lamps in Mr. Corco
ran's residence. Everything points to
the complete success of the scheme.
The mill has a diameter of eighteen
feet, and at a speed of tweDty miles
an hour is capable of delivering three
horse-power. The dynamo driven by
belt from the main gear charges a set
of storage batteries. It is so designed
that throughout the wide variations of
speed of the windmill it maintains the
potential' constant. Mr. Corcoran
says that the application of a windmill
to run the dynamos of an electric
lighting plant will place electricity in
the homes of thousands, who can thus
secure their motive power from nature.
A windmill is not a very costly struc
ture, and any one who owns a bit of
open land about his residence can
erect one and fit up his simple electri
cal apparatus inside of it. The thou
sands of windmills one sees in travel
ing over the country, if Mr. Corcoran’s
scheme proves a permanent success,
may be utilized for lighting the resi
dences of the owners and those of
their fieighbofs, as well as drawing
water for stock. One windmill will
light half a dozen residences at the
same time.
me mac nine m Air. uorcorans wind
mill occupies a floor space of only
thirty inches square and fifteen inches
high. The dynamo has a maximum
current capacity of thirty-five amperes
at thirty-five volts and is put into
action when the speed is 600 revolu
tions per minute, that is, when an
eight-mile breeze is blowing.
A great thing that deterred experi
ments with windmills was the wind
itself, but it is believed that success
can be had with the average rate of
1% miles per hour that can be depend
ed on throughout the United States.
While the maximum and the minimum
rate, of course, vary during different
seasons at the sea-coast and in differ
ent localities, the average rate of 7%
miles can be obtained at almost any
point in the country. Rear the sea
coast and in elevated localities the
average rate is much higher, and it is
in such situations that the first at
tempts will be made throughout the
country to apply the plan of generat
ing electricity with the aid of wind.
So it will be readily seen that the util
ization of the waste forces of nature
is steadily pushing itself to the front
Engineers now study applications
which were hardly considered proper
for a sane man to consider a dozen
years ago.

about a dozen fowls, and finally was in

When withdrawn from his liquid tomb

THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
AFTER -INDUSTRIALISTS.”
THEIR LAWLESSNESS MUST CEASE.
All the Federal Soldiers In Two Depart

^Northern Pacific Trains From Seiz
ure l>y Uoxeyltes in the Far
>orth\v(!Ht — Washington
Authorities in Karnest.
Washington, April 30.—National
power is to be exercised to compel re
spect for the law in the far North
west, where trains are being seized
by ‘ ‘commonwealers’’ and the law be
ing disregarded.
General Schofield this afternoon
sent orders to Colonel Swain
at St. Paul, in command of the depart
ment of the Dakotas, and General
Otis at Vancouver Iiarracks, in com
mand of the department of the Colum
bia, to use troops under their com
mand upon the application of the
United States marshals in the states
along the line of the Northern and
Union Pacific railroads in executing
the process of the United States
courts.
special orders have been sent to
capture the train seized at Troutdale
by Portland “industrialists” and now
on its way East.
The war department has settled the
question of the disposition of the
prisoners taken at Forsythe, Mont.,
by giving directions to the military
authorities to transfer them to
Helena, Mont., where they may be
dealt with by the civil authorities,
to be kept under military espionage
until the courts shall have disposed of
their cases.
To meet the grave situation the
government will. use every means
within its power. It is stated that no
mob of any kind or character will be
permitted to interfere with the move
ment of the mail trains if the military
forces of the government are able to
prevent it, and further, that the
United States troops will assist in
serving all the processes issuing from
United States courts in the disturbed
districts against the unlawful and ir
responsible acts of so-called “Coxey
contingents.”
The government is in earliest in
this matter and if this lawlessness
continues those engaged in it will be
made to feel the power of the govern
ment in a way that they may not ex
pect or relish.
It seemed to be the general opinion
here thatr the lawless tramp element
throughout the West is taking ad
vantage of Coxey's "commonweal of
Christ” demonstration to commit dep
redations on public and private
property, and in consequence they
are fast losing or have lost all
sympathy of the respectable element
of society everywhere. These aets,
it is believed, will rapidly disrupt the
whole movement and bring disgrace
and shame upon any honest people
who through mistaken zeal in the
cause of labor may have joined the
so-called crusade.
DRIVEN AWAY BY MILITARY.
Galvin -Industrialists” Dispersed by Ohio
Soldiers.
-Columbus, Ohio, April 33.—State
Detective John Mahoney and a posse
of men went to Mount Sterling last
night to try to force the Galvin branch
of Frye’s “industrial army” to aban
don the freight train which they had
seized.
When Mahoney presented his com
mission from the governor the “Coxe.v
ites” laughed at him, refused to hear
the reading of the commission and
met all demands in the name of the
state with hoots and jeers.
Mahoney wired these facts to the
governor and said that unless in
structed otherwise he would proceed
to put the men off the train by force
at daybreak. He was told to do noth
ing and at 5 a. m. Adjutant General
Howe and Attorney General'Richards
arrived at the scene.
After conference with the state of
ficers, Scott Chenoweth, sheriff of
Madison county, ordered the men off
the train, but Galvin said he had no
control over the men and was power
less to do anything'.
The sheriff and the state officers
then walked along each car and
ordered the men on it to leave the
train. This having been done, At
torney-General Richards addressed
the men, saving that Chenoweth was
sheriff of the county and the power
of the state was behind him. “If,”
he declared, “you refuse to obey his
command to get off this train the
state of Ohio will compel you te do so.”
When Mr. Richards had concluded
Galvin spoke to the men saying:
“Men, I have no control over you.
You must act on your awn judgment
in this matter. Each man must act
for himself individually, but I would
advise you to obey the order of the
sheriff.”
Not a word came from the men and
the sheriff made a request upon the
state for the assistance of the militarv.
As soon as Governor McKinley had
received the sheriff’s message, he
ordered battery II of this city, Cap
tain Frank T. Stewart, to report at
its armory preparatory to going to
Mt. Sterling, if necessary, to clear a
Baltimore and Ohio railway freight
train of Galvin’s contingent of Coxey
men. The governor also ordered
companies A, B, C and Fof the Fourth
regiment. Colonel Coit, to report
reaily to proceed to Mt. Sterling.
These were all Columbus companies
and with the batterie numbered abont
150 men.
The governor’s action was based on
the fact that S. P. Peabody, general
agent, and Superintendent Graham of
the Baltimore & Ohio railway said
they had not been able to get a freight
train through Mount Sterling for two
days and that the sheriff of Madison
county, with one company of thirty
men of the Fourteenth regiment in
Mount Sterling, was powerless.
The troops arrived at Mount Ster
ling' at* 15:10 o'clock. Adjutant Gen
eral Howe immediately took command
and at 1 o'clock the troops mounted
the cars and the “Galvins” scrambled
off and the train moved away. No
shots were fired.
KELLY DEMANDS WAGONS.
People of Earlhara, la.. Forced to Hustle
for Transportation for the ••Army.’*'
Stuabt, Iowa, April ,50.—Kelly's “in
dustrial army” began its forced march
to Des Moines to-day with solid column,
singing “war” songs. The Sacramento
malcontents had straggled in during
the night, having tired of their tem
porary desertion, and 1,251 men lined
up for roll call and tramped down the
green hillside at the word. The citi
zens of Stuart were liberal in their
contributions of food and forty-one
wagons were furnished for the trans
portation of the men.
Teams from points along the route
met the “army,” picked up the strag
glers and relieved the tired footmen
until Earlham was reached. There
Kelly became incensed because he
had not sufficient teams to carry all
his men, and announced flatly that he
would go no further until wagons
were furnished. The townspeople
were anxious to get the army away
and committees immediately began
scouring the surrounding country for
transportation. Kelly was obstinate
and asserted that he must ride or stay
in Earlham. He said he might be
eompelled to give up reaching Des
Moines to-morrow, but he would not
kill his men.
THREATS BY A "COXEYITE”’
Ur. Bynum Receives an Anarchist Letter
—The Police on the Watch.
Washington, April 30.—Representa
tive Bynum of Indiana has received a
letter from a Chicago man, who signs
himself Charles Nugent, and says ho
was formerly one of Mr. Bynum’s
constituents in which he tells Mr.
Bynum that he had better “tell Gro
ver Cleveland and John Sherman to
keep off the street while the Coxey
commonweal is in Washington,” anil
continues: “The Chicago contingent
of the Coxey army is coming supplied
with dynamite for all such pluto
crats.”
Mr. Bynum does not know whether
to be alarmed or treat the matter as
a joke.
It Mr. Nugent is coming with any
such intentions as involve the throw
ing of dynamite or even has any con
cealed about himself he is likely to be
spotted and incidentally locked up.
The district police and the govern
ment authorities are taking no chances
and they calculate a good many such
cranks as Mr. Nugent seems to be are
sure to follow the “commonwealers. ”
ANOTHER TRAIN SEIZED.
Portland ••Industrials” Capture an Of
ficial’s Engine and Start East.
Portland, Ore., April 30.—The Port
land contingent of the “Industrial
army” captured an engine at Trout
dale this morning, and coupling it to
a freight train which they seized yes
terday started East over' the Union
Pacific.
The engine seized by the “Coxey
ites” was drawing the ear of General
Manager Dickinson with R. W. Baxter,
general superintendent of the West
ern division of the Union Pacific, on
board.
As soon as the news was received in
this city a special engine in charge of
Deputy United States Marshal Cole
man was sent to Troutdale to bring
the railway officials to this city.
Commanded By a Woman.
Oakland, Cal., April 30.—Five hnnj
dred “commonwealers” left here last
night on a steamer bound up the river
for some point near Sacramento,
under the leadership of Mrs. Anna
F. Smith, a San Francisco woman# who
is past middle age. She was unani
mously elected president of the i-egi

had failed to lead them away. She
is a determined woman of soldier

to suffer hunger with her comrades if
necessary.
Ten “Coxeyltes” Sent Up.
St. Joseph, Mo., April 30.—Thirteen
men who were going’ to join Kelly’s

all pleaded guilt}’. All were honest
looking men and the judge told them
they could go if they would agree to
leave town, but only three of them
accepted the offer, the others prefer
ing to serve a jail sentence to taking
their chances with Kelly and his men.

modified. Not only will the com
mittee be found willing to re
duce the limit of income to be taxed
ai?„ *}ie rat,e °* taxation, but thev
will also, more than likely, be agree
able to fixing a time when the tax
shaH cease to be imposed. This they
will be willing to do on the theory
that in a few years the test would
prove the popularity or unpopularity
of the tax, and they think that if it
should prove popular it can be con
turned at the pleasure of the voters
and of congress. It is not probable
now, however, that the champions of
the bill will consent to the striking
out of this paragraph. °
NO SJEALING TRAINS.
Uncle Sam Propose* to Put a Stop
to It.
Washington. April 26.—The strong
/land of the national government has
at last been extended to check the
“Coxeyites” who seized a train upon
the Northern Pacific railway at liutte, i
Mont., and started eastward. To-day j
Colonel Swayne, who is in command
of the department of Dakota, in the
absence in Europe of General Merritt,
was instructed by telegraph to use
United States troops to intercept the
mob and restore the railroad’s prop
erty. This action followed closely
upon Attorney General Olney’s tele
gram of instructions to United States
Marshal Bede at St Paul.
There is no legal difficulty in the
way of governmental action at this
stage as the railroad property is now
in the hands of the United States
courts acting through a receiver and
the president may move at once upon
the representations of the United
States judicial officers. There are
sufficient forces of the United States
troops at St. Paul and Bismarck on
the line eastward of the train seizers
and it is expected that the}- will be
stopped at one of these points.
It can no longer be denied that the
peculiar movement now in progress
throughout the West has aroused the
apprehension of the national authori
ties. .As long as the numerous
“armies” and other organizations con
ducted themselves in a peaceable and
law abiding fashion there was no dis
position to interfere with them, but
as the character of the agitators is
revealed by such acts as the seizure of
trains, it is made evident to the officers
of the government that they no longer
cstfl stop at a policy of non-interfer
ence. Further trespass upon vested
rights and good order of the com
munity probably will be severely re
pressed. _
SIMPSON' SLOWLY GAINING.
The Family of the Sick Congressman
Beginning to Cherish Hope Again.
Washington, Apr il 26. —Con gressman
Jerry Simpson continued to gain a lit
tle strength slowly through the night
and all this morning. His sister ar
rived from Chicago and is now at his
bedside. His family begin to enter
tain hope and Mrs. Simpson is even
cheerful, for she had given up nearly
all expectation of her husband’s re
covery. _
Testimony in Claims for Tensions.
Washington, April 26.—The house
committee on invalid pensions has de
cided to report favorably a bill pro
viding that in the establishment of
claims for pensions, the oath of a pri
vate or non-commissioned ofiicer shall
not have any less weight than if such
witness had served as a commissioned
officer. The present practice of the
department accords to the testimony
of a commissioned officer the same
weight as to that of two privates.
