in that In early youth Klchurd J. Malloy left
his native homo In County Giiloway , Ireland ,

England lie soon found his wai to the
meccu ot tlio oppressed , landing In Boston ,
where he received schooling and trMnlnc In
the Catholic Colic-go of the Imniiieulato Con

Nebraska , where ho taught school for some
time in thu years 1878 and 187U , taking school
land leases for 120 ncro * of land In Lancaster
county. About this time ho went to the new
Irish colony In Holt county , and at O'Ncll
City ho lived for a number of years , touching
school. In the winter of 161 he wa lost , und
it was not until thu early spring that his body

In the district court of Chautauqua
county IJnmialliMidrixhud juf-t received
sentence for murder in the second
degree , and from Sedan WHS convoyed
to the penitentiary , where she served
lib n Hfo prisoner until last week , when
she was. pardonml by Governor Martin ,
nnd again goes forth into the world a
pure unsullied womanwith the memory
of ono tragedy , dark and mournful , the
result of an attempt to put upon bur
the deepest wrong thr.t , can bo placed
upon her sex.
In the southern part of Chautauqua
county is a settlement which oxtoudb
southward Into Indian Territory.
Arriving at womanhood Emma won
for herself a place in the affections of
those whoso esteem and love were o be
prized. At , this time u neighbor and
companion won her lovo. Ho was worth
less nnd not considered , oven with the
lax notions prevailing. H fair specimen
of manhood in the nobler qualities , but
ho was fair of form and specious in con
versation , and boon the devotion of nn
innocent maiden was given him. Her
mother objected to Kinmti receiving his
attentions. Hero was Einnn's first dis-
obodloneo ami disregard of maternal
advice. She received Oyrcnus Uondrlx ,
nnd soon married him , cabling aside all
opposition.
It took but a few months to lonrn that
the old inothqr's estimation of the man
was the correct ono , but she followed
him out into the world , lie had no
homo to take her to , ho had nothing to
offer the woman who had given herself
to him. Without stated occupation , it
might be six id that their home was In n
wagon constantly moving. The life uas
one of misery and humiliation. This
she might on dura ns long as love would
last , but there came a greater , a darker
evil , thought In her uncouscious inno
cence of the ways of the world , she did
not realize it then. .
Ho becureal work In Indian territory ,
several days journey from Chaulauqua
county , and took for u companion a
worthless , follow ; \o say of whom he had
M bad clan-actor would be ( lattery.
. The third one of tlio party , named
MrGutro , when the.journey' elided ,
told n story that , wore It true , would I
sink into deeper'depths an already de
praved woman.
Not until later , however , did she hear
it , and then U cumo from the mnn who
had promised to love and pi'otect her.
After this journey he fulled to provide
for her , when she returned to her
mother's hou-o , a broken-hearted wo
man , llur health broken down , and In
the earn of bur mother she determined
at last to for ako the man who had for
saken her. Emma now decided to no
loi'jjyr ' recognize Hendrix. nnd when ho
came to sue bur she refused to meet
him.
It will probably never be known why ,
but he nowrcnolvud to tell her the story
repeated by McGulre , of which he had
full knowledge , but which be never re
sented or called the tradueor to account.
Ho went to the house of Emnin'rf mother
one morning and called for her. She
did not want to sue him , but ho insisted ,
so , ill as she was , she aro-tc and went
out to the gate and mot him. Ho then
told her the disgusting details of the
story I\M \ told by McUuiro , and demanded
that shu go at once and make thu man
retract. .Frcny.ied with shame and de
spair shu at unco started to accompany
her husband to thu hoibe of the man
who had defamed her. While { proceed
ing to the place Hendrix placed u re
volver in the pocket of his wife's ' jacket ,
nnd told her to shoot the man if ho at
tempted to repeat the infamous story.
Together they went to McGuire's house
nnd called him out. Ho saw them and
told them to go to another door. They
wont and he met them , his little girl *
iiRed about nine years , standing within
sight und hearing.
Emma , trembling with excitement ,
asked him If ho had told the story she
had just hoard , Hendrix standing by
saying nothing.
McCiuiro looked at them a moment
nnd then said :
"Yes , 1 did , " and added a few words
unlit to publish. They were his last.
Emma pulled the revolver from her
pocket and fired the shot that in a few
hours ended a life. MeCiuiro foil in Iho
presence of his wife nnd daughter , two
people made desolate by thntaot. Emma
mechanically turned toward home , and ,
the excitement over , returned to a bed
she should not have left. Hendrix
.sought safety in flight.
It was but'a short time until Emma
nnd her husband wore arrested. Emma
was taken immediately to the Sedan
jail and confined to await her trial for
murder.
Hendrix was arrested , and , while ho
\VIH handoulfed and manacled , ho was
shot at through the window of the jail ,
and both his eyes injured so that ho
eventually hc'eumc totally blind. No
effort was made to find the perpetrator
of this attempt on the prisoner's life ,
though there were many who could
liavo told. The feeling of the county
was against both Emma and her hus
band , as there had already been several
murders , and public sentiment favored
speedy punishment.
Added to this , the murdered McGuirc
liad two brothers in the south part ot
the county , who were wealthy , bold and
iMiling in their natures , and who were
feared. They had como to Kansas from
Missouri at an early day. Scotch-Irish ,
they wore men of ability , and hud soon
assumed a leading position , which they
retained.
The trial finally cnmo and Emma was
tried first nnd convicted of murder in
the second degree and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. Cyrenus Hendrix
was afterward tried and convicted of
murder in the first degree und sentenced
to be hung. Under the peculiar laws of
Kansas thin was equivalent to a life .sen
tence. The two , man and wife , were
taken to the state penitentiary , thcro to
dwell as long as life should la.st the
man ji victim of | his own bad disposi
tion , moro worthless , perhnps , than
positively bad , and the woman for de
fending her honor.
During the past six months friends
took an * active interest hi this case ,
which had beer brought to their atten
tion friends , because they believed a
loyal wrong 1ml been done. A trip to
Chnutuuqiiii county , and a full and thor
ough investigation revealed all that had
boon told and much more. Public son-
liment was on the side of the i > oor wo
man. The lending people of that town
not some of them , but all of them , de
clared their faith in the womnn , who ,
driven to desperation , had sought tc
protect her inline and fume. The very
jury that convicted her declared that
had they known her defense ut the time
of the trial , tl oy would have acquitted
her. The prosecuting attorney , Bon
Henderson , in a letter to the- board ol
unions , said that if he had known hoi
S efense ho would at most only prosn-
cnted her for manslaughter in the third
degree.
A curious fact in tliat trjnl has boon
revealed. Her attorney , with probablj
the intentions , made his line of de
fense hereditary insanity , and the phy
sical impossibility of her committing
the evil ascribed to her. Although
fully acquainted with her story , she was
not allowed to go on thu stand to testify
in her own buhnU.
A MINNESOTA ROMANCE.
Tlio Tragedy llconlled by Pile ofKx
limned Hones.
Chicago Herald : While n gang o
laborers were working on a now sewei
tn Iglehart street , in St. Paul , thej
( Mine across a collection of humnji bones
that , were evidently once the framoworl
of tA\o persons. Your corresponded vis
itcd the scone with an old resident who
sutt ho knew nil about the bones , and Iu
unraveled the following piece of unwritten
ton history regarding them :
"It was auay bitok in 1S5U the nlYaii
happened , " said ho. "At that time
there was a Inrgo number of Sioux In
dians around St. Paul , and some of them
would come into the city every dav to
visit the trading-post , right oppb it *
where the Merchants' theater : io\\
stands , on Third street. The post was
perched on the summit of the blulY , am
the Indians usudtocomo down thu rivei
in their birch-bark canoes , and landing
down the levee , walk up the blulV to the
store.
"Across Third street from the wes
and on the spot whcro now stands the
Merchants' , stood an old log house
elevated about six feet above the road
way , the hill ut that lime not having
been cut down. At that time the Sioux
and the Chippuwa Indians were at
deadly enmity , nnd it was sure death
for ono of either tribe if ho was foand
in the other's territory. Still mr.ny ol
the young bucks of both nations uouli
occasionally pay a visit to their onp-
tnios' hunting ground , just for devil
ment. Sometimes there would bo
bloody work between thorn. As I was
saying , in 18-52 I was working at tlu
trading post nnd could see every ono
that passed in and out among thu Siou.x
visitors. I noticed a young follow , i
brave ho was , judging by his divts , win
often cumo to trade accompanied by his
wife nnd bister. The young inuh'u nurna
was Wa-go-qult , which moans Bi { ,
Hatchet , and a Una , smart ycvmg follou
ho was. His wife was nothing
much to look at , but his alu
ter she was a daisy ! Talk about

for me trying to describe her to you.
or I couldn't , but 1 mint confess to
eoling a little glow around my heart
when I think of her oven now. Well ,
taint no mutter now ; she's dead and
gone , nnd I guess is Hying high In the
other world.
"Time and time again I have Been
hos o three natives come walking up
ho steep bank to the store , and they
ihvays seemed us happy ns larks , the
oung brave walking nearer to his
voinpn folks than ever 1 saw an Indian
lo either before or sinec. One hot day
n July n party of sneaking Chlppewas ,
think there wer sixteen of them nl-
oircthur , came riding Into the city as
miss and made straight tracks for the
ruling-po : t , and , as ill-luck would have
t. O-tu-e-inin came down the river
ilono that day , and before she
< ncw of the Ohinpowns being
there she walked right into their midst ,
V sauey young buck immediately laid
told of her and yelled that ho had
'ound his squaw , and amid the laughter
) f the others commenced dragging her
o where his horse wns tied. It would
iavo done you good to see how that
girl treated that lewd Indian. She
whipped out a little knife , and with a
quick slash she hud his copper-colored
cheek open from the oyc to the juw-
x ne loose and ran into the store.
[ low that , Indian ripped and swore !
tie was mad as a bear with a sore too.
and but for the interference of some of
, hu white people standing by ho would
: mve killed the girl with his shot gun.
The factor at the trading post had to
interfere , nnd ho told the whole the
gang of Chippuwns that if they didn't '
ut out ho would send for the cavalry
> it Fort Snolling. That scared them a
little , and they mounted their horses
nnd rode sulkily away ; but by their
looks I was sure they were planning
some mischief , nnd ns mutters
turned out I was right. The
day following I saw the Chippowus
conic quietly up the street nnd stow
themselves away behind the log houses
apposite the post , all but the ono who
liad his cheek slashed , and ho came
prowling about the fr ont of the store as
though ho were waiting for sonic one.
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon O-te-e-
min , with her brother nnd his wife ,
came down the river , and as usual
walked up to the post , and ns the girl
passed the Ohlppowa ho said something
lo hor. Qick as a Hash her brother
turned round , and it would have done
you good to hear the crack
the stock of his gun made ns it struck
that Chippowu's head. Ho wont down
like a log , and the Sioux walked on into
the store with his women , folks ns
though nothing had happened. The
Chippewa slowly gathered himself up
and with the blood streaming down his
fnce staggered toward the log house
behind which his party were hiding ,
and the next thing I heard was the re
port of a dozen guns and the crash of
broken glass. The fiends had tired
through the store window , and as
ran forward I saw the poor
Wild Strawberry como staggering
out , with her hands to her throat , and
fall on her foco in the road. An instant
later her brother rushed out and made
a dash across the street , but before ho
could run half a dozen yards , the Chip-
powas had mounted their horses and
were riding towards Trout brook like
mad. The shot sent after them by the
young Sioux didn't seem to hit any one.
If over you saw a wild man that man
wns one. We picked up the Wild Straw
berry , but she was stone dead , a bullet ,
one of those big twelve to a
pound articles having passed through
her breast. The cavalry was sent for
from the fort and sent in pursuit of the
murderers , nnd before sundown a party
of Sioux warriors were also on the trail.
The cavalry came back the next day
without having been successful , but live
days later the Sioux came back in high
feather , bearing seven scalps aloft on
poles , but I wiis sorry to see Big Hatchet
was carried on a kind of litter , and ap
peared just about done up. J
wns told by the warriors that they
had overtaken the Chippewns about
fifty miles out and cornered them
in a little blufl , and after half a day's
fighting had killed seven of them , tlio
cowardly brute who had insulted Wild
Strawberry being among the number.
The others ran the gauntlet and es
caped. In the scrimmage Big Hatchet
got a bullet in bis side. He died a few
hours after his return to the post , und ,
both ho and his sister being cnristinns
wore buried iu the old burying-gYounc ]
elo < o together , where they have lain
undisturbed until their bones were
turned out by the shovels of those
laborers to.duy. That wns thirty-five
years ago , and things have changet
hereabouts since then. "
An KxcltiiiK It uce.
Atlanta Constitution : Probably the
most exciting race ever seen in this
section , was run on the South Carolina
road , a fo\v evenings ago , and a peculiui
race it was.
An engine and train of cars chasing a
buck on the track made the race.
U wns u bright moonlight night , in
fact , almo.it as bright as day. The uj
South Carol in ik passenger train had just
crosied the Edisto river bridge , shortly
after 8 o'clock , when Engineer Roberts
anil his fireman spied a largo deer on
the trad : , bomo three or four hun
dred yards ahead. The train moved on
but the buck stood with head erect , gaz
ing at the approaching locomotive unti
it seemed that the cowcatcher wouli
strike it. At that moment , will

The engineer was in for a race , having
it straight track ahead , and quickly
opened "his throttle. The ponderous
machine bounded forward and then the
race commenced in earnest. Down the
track , at lightning specQ , ran the deer
cloily ; pursued by the engine , the en
gincer at the throtllo'imd the flremut
shoveling coal , both doing their utmos
to outrun the deer.
The conductor and passengers , woit

their heads out to sco a sight never wit

breathless anxiety were awaiting the

Now York Tribune : The cloctrlu
ifrhtinfr business throughout the Unitoil
States is constantly dctolopliif , ' curious
and interesting features. It is i > rob-
ibly making moro rapid and solid prog
ress than uny other branch of commer
cial business. The experimental stage
lias loii since pim-eil. The eventual
combination of gas und electric. light-
In jy is already n fixed fact. The systems
which have real merit and the substan-
ial companies are well known , &uch as
: ho Brush , the American anil Thomson-
llouston , for making arc light appara
tus ; the Edif-on , United States , Sawyer-
Man und Westinghouse companies ,
manufacturing incandescent apparatus ;
uid all of th.cfifi.uro believed to be mak
ing money. The companies named maybe
bo said to bo in a position to control the
electric light business of the world , for
there arc no large companies abroad.
There is no reason why combination
should not soon make their manufactur
ing interests moro important and profit
able than the o of the texilo manufact
urers of the United States. If the
really important companies would btop
the slang and abuse of each other in
which they incessantly indulge to their
own detriment only , and the sacrillce
of some part of the public confidence iu
the financial solidity of the electric bus
iness , and unite in the proper spirit ,
the combination would bo all powerful.
It is believed that a combination of
these enterprises is inevitable , and the
BUKgestion of union is now being gener
ally talked of among the principal oill-
cers of the substantial companies in this
city. The development of such a rap
idly increasing industry under the
usually favorable circumstances of the
consolidation of riual interests , would
certainly be both rapid and extensive.
An Klcctrlc Novelty.
St. Louis Globe-democrat : General
Martin Hecm , as attorney for a Chicago
linn , has commoted a contract to supply
a patent which possesses many elements
of novelty to the barb-wire fence of the
X I T Cattle company , located in the
Panhandle of Texas. The patent is n
proccbS by which a constand current of
electricity , .is t passed either through
barb-wiro or through a plain galvanized
wire. The , first contact is enough to
prove to njiy animal that the fence is
loaded. At present a barb-wiro fence
surrounds the ' range in question , and
the curront'Svill ho passed through the
top wire. 'Telephonic ' communication
can also bo made from any point to head
quarters by attaching a ground wire
and a small 'telephone , one of which
will bo carried "by each cowboy. Any
break in the fouco will also bo noticed
fn headquarters by the constant ringing
of u boll. The X I T run go is that re
ceived by United States Senator Far-
well , his brother , J. V. Farwoll , and
Abnor Taylor , for building the Texas
state house. The tract is larger than
the state of Illinois , and immunity from
the dangers of u barb-wiro fence is
worth thousands of dollars yearly to the
company , which owns the ll0,00i ! ) cattle
inclosed in the vust area.
The Electric Typewriter.
Public Opinion : The new electric
typewriter relieves the operator of
every duty except pressing down the
keys. The carriage moves automatic
ally to the starting point whenever the
end of a line lias been reached , and also
moves up ono notch or line at the same
time. But the moat important oflico of
the new instrument seems to bo its use
in receiving and transmitting tele
graphic dispatches. It is said at the
patent olllco that the instrument can be
used both us a transmitter und receiver
of intelligence over a single wire , no
matter how great the distance may bo.
The receiving instrument does not re
quire the attendance of an operator ,
but prints the dispatch automatically.
.The instruments at both ends of the
line print the dispatch sent , and so a
safeguard again&t mistakes is provided.
It is claimed that the electric typewriter -
writer will bo valuable as a local aid to
business and offers many advantages
over the telephone. One advantage
claimed for it is that no matter wnotiiOi'
a person called up is at his place of
business or not , the message can be
printed through the medium of his
typewriter , and will be there for perusal
on his return. The dispatches printed
are in letter form and not nn endless
tape. _
Irish's Klcctrlo Hallway Sy stein.
Electrical World : \Vhilo it is ac
knowledged that , other things being
equal , a conduit for the conductors is
bettor adapted to heavy city tralllc than
an overhead system of conductors , there
are still some who object to the slot run
ning along the street and indeed more
than ono attempt has been made in the
past to avoid the use of the slot and to
establish connection with underground
conductors by other menus.
In attempting to solve this problem ,
Mr. W. K. Irish of Cleveland , O. , hit
upon the idea that if a conductor could
inclosed into an elastic conduit , a car
passing above it might , by pressure ,
make a contact with the conductor with
in and thus establish a connection ; und
this connection made directly under the
moving car , would lw immediately
broken when tlio car had passed on. this
action being due to the elasticity of the
conduit.
The tube or conduit is closely scaled
throughoutiits length * o as to exclude
water or moisture and to prevent
metallic contact at any point except
through the proper connections. A
channel for'carrying ' the tube is formed
in a line of Umbers or blocks of stone ,

and an open tort. The timbers or blocks

Chicago Tribune ! .Tames O'Conuoll ,
stage manager of the Michael StrogolT
company of HnrrU * museum in ( Mncin-
uiti. was instantly killed "rocontly , by
receiving an electric shook from the
sneaking tube on the stngo. It seems
.nut the insulated covering , whore the
wire was attached to the eloctrio light ,
covered the speaking-tubo leading
vcross the stage to the prompter's box ,
nul worn away , and the current thu"
diverted ran along the metal tube , and
charged with the same intensity that Is
isuully applied to lamps. But ft could
be touched in portect safety by anyone
who did not insert hitnt > ol'f in the clr-
jult. O'Connnll unfortunately did the
alter , the other side of the cflnnuction
being made by laying his right hand on
Iho zinc-covered box from which thu
jus burners nro controlled. The iiiptnnl
lie seized the brass ring of the boll wire
Lho current was changed from the cir
cuit and passed through his body to the
ground. Standing at his side were the
stage manager and the costumnr. The
latter declares that when O'Connell
Look his hand from Iho pipe in the act
: > f falling a spark fully hvu inches in
length followed it , scorning to
coined with the tips of his fingers. A
stage hand , hearing O'Connell's cry ,
rang down tlio curtain , Springing over
3'C'onnell's body ho accidentally laid
Ins hand on the zinc-covered box and
received u powerful shock. In the palm
of O'Connell's right hand was u whitish
strailc from the wrist to the linger.
Closer examination showed it to bo a
blister , vhich fccemed to pierce almost
through the hand. On tlio loft hand
Lho thumb and index finger were dread-
tully torn. The skin was burned to
snowy whiteness , as ) was the flesh be
neath. The dead man was about twenty-
eight years of ago , and has been a stage
manager and carpenter for eight years.
One of the most pathetic features of the
sad affair was that it orourrad almost in
bight of the dead man's nflluuced wife ,
Nellie Collins , a member of the com
pany. The audience was entirely un
aware of the fatality. The accident is
thought attributable in a great degree
to the humidity of the air , thus affect
ing the insulation of the vyire , causing
the current to turn to the tin tube. Had
it been a dry day it. is not believed that
it would have occurred.
A Curious Mishap.
London Electrician : At iv central
lighting station in n certain town not
far from London , a very curious acci
dent recently occurred which very
nearly caused the entire breakdown of a
series-wound high-tension dynamo on a
circuit of 2.000 volts. In order to see
whether the yole piece was getting hot
an attendant unwisely attempted to spit
upon it.Vo say unwisely because , not
being a Yankee , ho had not acquired
the art of spitting straight , and missing
the mark , the field coil received the
full benefit. The machine in question
is an elderly ono , and ijossibly the coils
wanted a now coat of varnish anyhow ,
in a very few minutes the cotton cover
ing commenced to char , and a small arc
began to play across the wire. It wanted
still an hour to the time when the ma
chine would stop running. Hy dint
however , of incessant "dabbing" with
a handful of asbestos the arc was kept
within limits until the evening's work
was over. It was then found that the
insulation bad been destroyed to the
depth of four layers of wires , .This
method of testing the temperature of
polo-pieces requires some practice , and
should only be undertaken by an ex
port.
A ratal Accident.
Electrical World : Mr. Elmer E.
Wood , of the Catmndaigua ( N. Y. ) El
ectric Light company , on Sunday night ,
December 4 , noticing that a street lamp
burned dimly , attempted to start the
carbon. The rest is told in the press
dispatch as follows ; "His kid glove was
wet , and , coining in contact with the
magnetic part of the lamp , ha received
a terrible shock. Ho groaned , and then
dropped unconscious upon the ground
When ho was picked up a moment later
ho was dead. The only mark upon him
was a small black hole in his thumb. "
Diseases of tlio Dynamo.
Electrical World : Though the dynamo
name is still young in its various appli
cations it may bo said to luivo devel
oped a number of diseases , the nature
of which Is well for those in charge of
these machines to know so that a remedy -
edy may bo quickly applied. The dis
eases may bo classud , generally , as
either constitutional or acquired and
can be cured if wo only know .their na
ture. The constitutional discuses are
duo , us a .uilo , to bad construction and
may not develop till after considerable
tinio , and they are usually the most
troublesome to deal with. The acquired
diseases , ns enumerated , it would bo
well for every electric light , superin
tendent to memorize so that , he may act
promptlo nt the fir.-t symptom of"nil -
inuut. Some forms of machine are , of
course , moro liable to bo alTocted by
one kind of disease ? than others. Prof.
Thompson remarks that a better knowl
edge of dynamo pathology will lead to a
better system of dynamo therapeutics ,
wo would only add that in some cases a
thorough system of dynamo therapeu
tics. Wo wovld only add that in some
cases a thorough nystom ol dynamo hy
giene would pro vent many of the di's-
cuHGH , on the old rule that an ounce of
prevention is worth more than a pound
of cure.
UNOnfthe Burglar Alarm.
Pawtucket ( U. I.Times ) : Every bank ,
jeweler and nearly every largo store in
the center of the city of Providence now
uses a burglar alarm tolograph. This
service has .stood the test of years , and
throughout the country is acknowledg
ed ns the only absolutely perfect system
to protect property , and tlio only thing
thatburglnivi cannot defy. The wires
of this borvico may be attached to the
snfo , doors und windows of your store.
If a burglar touches any of tho.su wires ,
and ho never knows it when lie does
give the alarm , four or live men immed
iately hasten to thu bank or i-.oro , and
that moans the capture of the thieves.
After you cloo your safe at night no
body can opou it without giving an
alarm. Tlio lift'ng of a piece of silk
goods from iv pile of silks will glvo an
alarm , if the silk counter H coiiiio.cUul
with the system. Them in case of Jro !
or a water h'ck tl'at is dnmr.ging your
property , it will produce an alarm , no
that assistance can aiwr.ysbo summoned ,

New York Hun : When a lot of mil-
road mnnagcr.i tneklo a bg ! problem in
earnest ihoy ul'.vuys find a solution ii
one exists. Sixteen months ago the
national u cciutiun of master car build-
era made up their mind * to find out how
lo.st.op a trai'i quickly and.safoly. The
first tests were begun on July lii , 18SO ,
it Burlington , In. , nnd served to show
liow very imperfect Iho brakes woro.
The best results were obtained with the
ontlnuous nlr brakes. A train of fifty
! relght cars , traveling at the rate of
twenty miles an hour were stopped ! t50
feet from the place where the brakes
were tlrst applied. After the air had
been applied to the first car in this test
Lho middle car ran fifty feet before Us
jrakes were sot , whereas In a theoret
ical stop the brakes on the 'ontiro train
should IK.I set at the snmo time. It took
: wonly men to keep the record of those
tests. In the way car was a machine
called a slldometor , to register the
shock sustained by the car in stopping.
In the dynamometer car , of course ,
nothing could bo recorded until the
invssuro of the brakes reached the
ivhcols of that car , which was In the
co'ntor of the train. As soon as this was
done the result was shown by a pencil
murk on u moving pnpar , thu mark ris
ing in exact proportion to the amount of
pressure brought to bear njxin the
kvhcols. A Pperfcction , In which the
lilghcst pressure would bo brought
against all the wheels at once , would be
recorded in the dynamometer car by the
[ > ocil mark rising perpendicular , und re
maining at u certain height until thu
stop should bo made , then dropping
again , forming a figure with parallel
sides. The figure which was really
formed , however , was very different
from that. Aftnrthe first application
> f the power the dynamometer car ran
nearly ten seconds before its brakes
were effected , and it was not until the
train came to n stop that the highest
pressure was obtained. The train of
llfly cars , running at the rate of twenty-
six miles nn hour , was stopped within a
distance of fiW feet.
After those tests were made , two
facts wore perfectly plain to the brake
companies ; first , the application of the
brakes should bo more nearly instan
taneous , and second , the greatest pres
sure should bo axortocl , ns soon as possi
ble after the brakes are applied ; and
they hot their \\its to work to overcome
the ditllcultios and remedy the defects.
The results were very apparent in the
tests hold last May on the Chicago , Bur
lington fc Quincy road at Burlington.
In these five companies were repre
sented the Westinghouse Air Brake.
the Eamca Vacuum , the Hanscom Air
Brake , the Carpenter Elcctro-Atmos-
Slierio Brake , and the Card F.lectric
rake. The best results were at first
obtained from the Carpenter , but re
cent improvements in the Wcstinghousc
make it equal in elMciency. This time
the train win going nt thu rntoof twenty
two and one-quarter miles an hour , an
the slop was made in 150 foot instead o
61" . The pressure reached the dyna-
momcto car in about one-fifth of a second
end , instead of ton seconcs , and the
maximum pressure was nearly reached
in a little moro than two seconds.
The improvement over the tests of
18S ( > was something wonderful , but still
the brakejworo notporfect. The appli
cation was made nearly instantaneous
by the use of electricity , but about one-
half the stop was effected before the
required pressure was reached , and
again the companies puzzled their
brains to obtain the theoretical stop.
Elcctrio Hrcvilics.
The Chroniquo Industriollo contains
n description of the electric apparatus
of M. Soinzco , which has as its object
the prevention of collisslons at sea. It
is based on the well known theory of
using the water , instead of wii-e , for the
transmission of the electric current , and
working automatically , it announces
the prcbcnc of one vessel to another.
within a certain electric zone , provided
both vessels arc equipped with the
Homzcc apparatus.
The manufacture of current for light
und power has reached the "wholesale"
point , bo that stations of a capacity
equal to , say 30,000 incandescent lamps ,
or to 2,000 acres , cetise to be dreams ,
oven novelties.
At no time during the past five years
has there been greater activity in the
electric lighting field than prevails to
day , but thu industry is still in the early
stages of growth , UK n department of
fering legitimate nnd lucrative employ
ment for capitol. What we moan , there
is very little loft of the early specula
tive fever , and that the erection of new
plants nnd consolidation of old ones oc
cupies the energies of all the leaders in
the business.
There i. a good deal of gossip as to
changes likely to bo made in the near
future in cable rates. It Is wild that
nothing has been decided on this point
yet , and that the first advance made in
common by all the companies will not
bring the rates above 20 cents , and that
in no event will the rale exceed 40
cents. There are many reports current
ns to squabbles n London between the
pooled companies. One report statow
that Mr. Jay Gould has started up this
rumpus by demanding better terms fov
Western Union company.

Story oT n Currier I'ljjeon.
New York Sun : A romi'.rkablo in
stance of intelligence in a homing pig-
con occurred recently at Shnlby , N. C.
The bird was of A. Perry Baldwins'
Btrain of Newark. Ho Is a magnificent
pigeon , and known to the National Fed
eration b.y the nnmo of ' 'Ocncral Kcar-
npy. " Like all of Mr. Ha Id win's long

red letters , ' 'A pilgrim from Newark.
Now .Torsoy ; feed nnu. liberate , " on the
feathers of one wing , and ' 'An honest
man is the noblest work of God'1 on the
other wing. The bird was returning
from an SVa-inilo fly to Newark , when
he became exhausted and alighted on
the little postollico at Shelby , N. O. Mr.
B. F. Logan , the postmaster , caught
him , fed and watered him , and then the
bird again perched on tlio roof. That
afternoon he took a two-hours' fly , but
returned. The next morning , after be
ing again fed , ho took a three-hours'
fly , but again returned. In the after
noon ho made his third fly , but , after
being gone four hours , cnmolmck. The
following day he mndo two more at-
lumpts to como north , but each time ,
not feeling strong enough , lie returned
to hospitable Shelby.
The next day , however , nftnr receiv
ing his food , ho circled over Poitinnater
Logan's head and then darted north
ward. Mr. Lojiti ; ; sent a postal curd to
Newark describing the bird and its
murks , but before the card was received
by Mr. Baldwin the general was back
Mifo and sound in bis loft. Mr. Baldwin
hay& ho mrulo thu little Illns at Shelby to
guugo his strength ; that the bird knew
ho would be cured for while he stayed
there , and would not attempt to leave
there for Newark until ho was positive
he was strong enough to make the
journey.
