lumber originally intended for the
making of this stationery furniture by
the Omaha contractors , was destroyed
in a lire , and the contractors had to pro
cure other in its stead. The substituted
lumber seems to have boon a little
green. The long counter in the clerk's
ofllco had a check at each end. Some of
the panes in the like counter in the re
cordor's ollico are drawing. The counter >
tor in the auditor's office has also sprung
a joint. The county is protected by a
bond given by the contractors at the
time of final settlement , given to cover
just such a liability as this , so that , the
contractors will have to make these do
fccts good.

It Self Defense ?
The testimony in the case of A. B.
Schlslcr , charged with' the murder of
William Keating , waiclosed yesterday
afternoon. Most of the day was spent
in the introduction of testimony as to
Schtsslor'fl character , which appears to
have been excellent heretofore. The
defendant himself went upon the stand
in the afternoon and told the story of
his shooting the old man. Schisslcr is
thirty-four years of ago , was born in
Ohio , Jived in Missouri , and from there
came here about six years ago. He ha'd
boon married twelve years , and has a
wife and two children , who are by his
side during the trial. Yesterday after
noon among the spectators wcro a num
ber of the ladies who gave the bar ban-
Vuct { the evening before , and who after
fathering up the articles used for the
tables rested themselves and satisfied
their curiosity by listening to the de-
fondant's story of the tragedy.
He narrated it much as it has already
icon told in the BiK. : That day ho had
worked as usual , wont homo to supper ,
ind after supper cftino up town. Ho
ivcnt to Scolield & Gavin's , settled his
tccount there and ordered some moro
groceries ; went to the Star market ,
ransacted similar business there ; called
, t Dr. Cleaver's , and then went to John
Short's store. As he came out of that
ilaco and started for home , ho mot
laycs , who wanted him to go down
[ 3rond\vay , and with him went to a
laloon ; there sat down to a game of
; ards ; Keating was there ; had never
liad any acquaintance with him , simply
tnow ing him by , sight ; had never had
any ill-feeling toward him. A dispute
arose about the game , and Schissler getup
up from the table , refusing to play
whore there was any f listing. The party
started for homo , and on the way they
had a good deal of fun with Keating
ibout two live chickens which ho was
carrying. Schtesler had a long weed ,
, vhich ho used to punch the chickens ,
making thorn , squawk , and the others
pulled the chickens' feathers. There
ivus good-natured scuffiing and
frolic , the old man and the fowl
being the targets for the fun-making ,
until the old man turned about mad and
trouble began. Ho came toward Schiss-
er hurriedly , declaring ho would shoot
him , and Hayes remarked In a low tone
"Look out Schisslor , he'll shoot you. "
Schisslcr jumped behind Hayes and
held him in front of him as n protec
tion until Hayes said , "I'll not stand
between you any longer , " and jumped
to one side , leaving him exposed. The
old man had his hand on his hip pocket
as if about' to draw a revolver , when
Schisslor drew his revolver from his
srdo coat pocket and Jirod.
On cross examination Schissler was
asked if ho had not once attended a
dance in that part of the city , and
kicked up a row , firing three shots into
the crowd. Ho denied this. Ho was
also asked if ho did not once fire a shot
when ho was living in Gilmoro's house.
and denied this. The proecution did
not attempt to prove the occurences
thus inferred to have happened. Both
sides rcsted'and the arguments'began.

"How's the strike V" queried a BEE
reporter yesterday of r. prominent "Q'
official.
"Getting prottv warm. "
"Pretty hot , oh ? "
"Yes , you bet for the other follows
Wo are just beginning to have our fun
at their expense. We are all-right
though. It they keep it up another
week we will bo the only road running ,
I was talking with. n , brotherhood man
this morning , and ho seemed to thin !
there would soon be a general strike
However , I will toll you one thing the
btriko is practically settled , as far as
the "Q" is concerned. We are running
till right , und there will bo no settle
ment , at least that is now the under
standing. "
The strikers sing about the same
tune , only , the words are changed so as
to read in' this way : "Tho 'Q' folks
are getting to the end of their rene
pretty ' fast , and it won't be
long > untll the strain will
break the last strand , and
then when the other roads turn in and
help the public kick , and all business is
ut a standstill , you will see the 'great
Burlington' como to its milk just like
lots of Better folks have to. Let 'em
talk about 'everything running as
usual ; ' time will toll whether they are
ahead , and the , ones that laugh last will
laugh the loudest and longest. "

Badly Frozen Hands.
There is much complaint made in re
gard to the stopping of the city clock on
the Bloomer school building , and many
of the citizens think that the school
board should see to it at once that it la
again sot running. The stoppage oc
curred during the recent sleet storm ,
and was caused by the sleet and rain
being driven * against the hands and
pivots , and then freozipg up solid , com- >
motoly wedging them so they can not
bo turned.
The trouble 'is upon the north side ,
and for that reason It will bo some time
.before it is thawed out. It is impossible
to roach the ice from the inside , and as
it would cost considerable to got to it
from' the outside , the members of the
board uro waiting to lot warmer weather
do the work without' any interference.
The majority of the citizens had no
idea how much they depended upon this
single city ticker until it ceased to run ,
tuitl its strokes will bo doubly welcome
when it is uguln sot in motion.
A Feast blSoiig. }
The. St. Cecelia quartette lost evening
fully sustained the- reputation already
gained , and really won frcsVf honors.
Tho. concert was of a high order , and
yet of BO popular n tinge as to be onjoy.
able to all , .The. audience was of goodly
numbers , considering the condition of
the streets , and the various attractions
to draw people elsewhere. The ladies'
quartette had throe eolectionson the pro
gramme , but the enthusiasm of the uudi *
cnco caused them to give double this
number. "Annie Laurie , " As arranged
by D. Buck , proved thu most delightful
of all , OH it brought out finely the indi
vidual merits of the several voices , as
well ns their perfect harmony. In re
sponse to the encore the quartet gave
ifBo Still My Heart. " An arrangement
of "Robin Adttir" was also ono of the
pleasing numbers. Goldberg's "Good
Night" was given by the quartet
grandly. R most fitting closing to the
evening's treat ,
Besides those numbers by the ladies
as a quartette , Miss Merkol and Mrs.
Evans gave a charming duet. Mrs.
Ward eolo "The Post "
gave as a Eingor ,
which was ono of the most enjoyable se
lections. She has a wonderfully rich
voice , nnd with enunciation so perfect
that every word was clearly understood
by all , she rendered it with much feeling
and expression. The solo of Mrs. Wads-
worth , "Carnival of Venice , " was a re
markable showing of her cultured voice ,
and the Scotch ballad in response to the
encore , "Nao Room for Twn , " was en
thusiastically received.
The St. Cecelia quartette was assisted
by ether local talent. Mr. I. M. Troy-
nor gave most excellently ' 'Como to
Me , " Miss Kato Pusey sang very
sweetly "Forbidden Music'and the en
thusiastic applause calling her forth
again , she sang . in her unpretentious ,
pleasing manner , "She's Fooling Thee. "
As a change from the vocal music ,
Colonel Tulleys and Frank Badollet
favored the audience with a well exe
cuted lluto duet. Miss Wles served ns
accompanist during the evening , and
much of the enjoyment of the pro
gramme was due to her skill and good
taste.
Such a concert was certainly a credit
able showing of homo Uiunt , and one in
which the city can taUo pride justly.

A \Vnlk-Away For the Audience.
Lack of an audience caused . a post-
) onemont of the running match , which
was announced to take pluco at Masonic
mil last evening. Evidently the suort-
ng fraternity do not take kindly to
, heso exhibitions. They hnve been
rittcn bo often that they tight shy of a
'hippodrome. " Those who pretend to
tnow say this race will bo run "on the
square. " Last evening those who had
already paid their "quarters" had them
refunded , and nn indefinite postpone
ment was announced.

A DAY IN THE"WHITE HOUSE.
How the Newspapers Rellnve the Mo
notony of Hard Work.
The Cleveland day is an interesting
ono in some ways , says n Washington
letter to the Boston Record. The presi
dent is usually up at 0 a. m. and at work
on papers loft over from the night bo-
fore. Sometimes on going into the
library it will bo full of the law books
ho has left on the chairs while hunting
up cases. He has a colored boy to take
full charge of his library , and when ho
issues special orders the boy puts back
on his arrival the books taken down the
night before. Breakfast is served at 0
a. m. and by the time it is over Colonel
Lament has come. Then is the time
when Mr. and Mrs. Lament set about the
table in the end of the upper corridor
and make plans for the next day.
Then is the time , too , when the scrapbooks -
books are looked over. Colonel Lament
does a great part of the scrap-book work.
Ho has had a deal of practice as ex
change-reader in the office of the Albany
Argus and elsewhere , and there isn't ' a
bettor or faster reader , a quicker eye ,
than the colonel's. Ho looks over
about forty papers an hours , dashing his
pencil at the article ho wants scissored
and flipping to ono side for a boy to clip.
The New York papers are road most
carefully , Boston and Chicago next. All
deferences to the president go into one
book , all references to Mrs. Cleveland
into another , and so on. The books are
all turned over in the morning , with
much talk of a critical and often of
jolly nature , ,
Then the president goes back to his
room and his callers again , Mrs. Cleveland -
land to her correspondence or callers ,
and the day progresses. The tctc-toto
of the morning lasts an hour , and then
the president refuses to bo disturbed.
Ho often does on other times. But ea
ger , audacious visitors overcome that
The favorite trick is to say the presi
dent made an appointment for such an
hour. The president's mind is too much
charged with more important matters
for him to dispute this , and so in the
visitor goes.
Lunch comes at I and Colonel Lament
sometimes stops to lunch. Oftentimes
he goes homo , however , and unless
some of Mrs. Cleveland's Wells friends
are there the Clevelunds are alone
Even then the privacy is sometimes in'
voded. Take the case os the visit of the
educational people there the other day
The president shook hands with them ,
neatly evading the motions of ah
old lady who was bound to kiss him ,
and then threw open the parlors to
them , going himself to lunch. The ed
ucational association folks wandered
about until ono happened to seothatth
dining-room aoor was open , and at once
walked over to glance in. This cheeky
act attracted still moro comrades , and
there wore fully twenty gaping in at thi
white houseluncheonwhon an attendun
came and closed the door. So says ono
of the well-bred visitors who was .there
at the very timo.
D The evenings at the white'house are
hot alwaysj or all devoted to work.
The piano in the green room is fre
quently opened and used. The mistress
of the nouso hay a voice of average qual
ity and range , and sings for nor own
amusement or that of her guests. Miss
Kuto Willard , the latest guest , sang
particularly well.
But there is work in the evening ,
after 10 often , and it has been known.
that callers have como up as late as 1 }
or midnight. In fact- the policemen
and watchmen at the house have como
to never bo astonished at- seeing a vis
itor. '
FALLS VIEW , was- unknown until ,
created by the Michigan Central Rail
road , which stops its trains at this point
to enable its passengers to enjoy the

in carriages from the American side to
"Inspiration Point , " the view from
which Howolls said was "unequalled for

Plttsburg ( Pa. ) Correspondence of the
Globe-Democrat : "I divide Inventors
into three classes , " said ono of the Con
nelly Bros. , tho. patent attorneys , who
have offices In this city , Philadelphia
nnd Washington. "They nro the pro
fessional inventors , those who once or
severally in a lifetime strike a happy
Idea , and these who invent from neces
sity I put Charles E. Ball of Now
York , Rov. Ezra B. Lake of Philadel
phia , nnd George Westlnghouso , jr. , in
the first class. The second class can bo
found everywhere , and these who in
vent from necessity nro manufacturers
who are continually improving their
plants.
It is said George Wcstinghouso ,
known all over the world ns the Inven
tor of the air-brake bearing his name ,
has taken out about 1,000 patents.
"Rev. Lake , " bald Mr. Connolly , "nnd
his brothers are all Methodist clergy
men , and all inventors. E/.ra B. , who
is between fifty nnd sixty years of ago ,
took out his lirbt patent about llftcon
years ago , and now has about forty ,
which have netted him n fortune. lie
it , the principal owner of Ocean Grove.
Ho got options on the land , organized a
syndicate in Philadelphia und pur
chased the entire island. He is worth
probably about $200,000 , and made a
good deal of money On curtain fixtures.
His latest invention is quite novel. It is
i new idea in life having , designed to do
nwny with the present methods in vogue
along the Atlantic scacoasts , nnd nil
sea coasts , for that matter , for ho has
taken out patents in nearly all European
countries. The invention might bo
called a gigantic tricycle. It has three
wheels , nine to ten feet in diameter ,
which run along the bottom of the sen.
and" are capable of overcoming hollows
to the depth of nine feet. The motive-
power is a steam engine placed high
above the water on a platform , upon
which the engineer and rescued marin
ers and passengers will find a refuge.
Rov. Lake is having several of these
unique vehicles constructed for
pleasure purposes at Atlantic
City and other Now .Tersoy
resorts this sumnier. They will be run
through the shallow water probably
half a mile out tq sca , and before return
ing to land describe an enormous semi
circle. Charles E. Ball , of New York ,
another professional inventor , is the
founder of the Ball Electric Light com
pany. His first invention was a dyna
mo-electric machine nnd ho finally con
structed it after ho had gathered bits of
information horo/nnd / there about elec
tricity ho did noV" oven know the first
principled of the science , now ho has a
national reputation ns an expert.
"This is an era as advertising , and
the extent to which it is prosecuted is
illustrated by the offer of a Baltimore
tobacco firm to a Philadclphian. The
latter is well advanced in yearswealthy ,
and ho invented a unique clock , with
which was combined a lamp. . It was designed -
signed for sick rooms , and to take the
place of alarm clocks. The clock can
bo so arranged that it will strike an
alarm as often as desired during the
'
night , and as the gong bound's the light
flashes up and illuminates the dial. It
was quite an ingenious invention , and
the Baltimore firm wishing to present
them to their trade offered the Philo-
dclphian $2 on each clock and guaran
teed to take 12,000 annually. The
Phlladolphian refused the yearly in
come of $24,000 which would have re
sulted from no exertion on his part. "
When asked for some stories of poor
inventors suddenly encountering wealth
Mr. Connolly said : "Ono day , while
aCfued in my Washington office , a poor
young Irishman entered. Ho had just
landed , had all the appearances of a
'bag-trotter , ' and did not look ns if ho
know when to como in out of the cold.
Ho had invented a farm gate. It was
an automatic arrangement , designed to
open itself , and had no particular
brilliant features about it. The young
man wanted a patent taken out.
Wo conducted the case successfully for
him and he disappeared from the city.
Two years later a stylishly dressed
young man entered our Washington
office. His attire was faultless , a high
silk hat rested on his head , nnd on a
finger ho sported a diamond ring.
Judge of my surprise when he intro
duced himself as the inventor of the
gate. He had mndo a fortune and was
independent. It appears that after ob
taining his patent ho secured financial
assistance and wont on the road to sell
his invention. Ho had traveled all over
the United States , and by dint of
shrewd management had among other
possessions secured much land , aggregating -
gating 50,000 acres. He was only twenty
years of ago. That's the last time I
saw him. I suppose ho is president of a
national bank somewhere by this time.
"Women inventors are quite uncom
mon , " and Mr. Connolly briefly re
ferred to a Philadelphia maiden lady
who has invented a valuable idea which
will undoubtedly reap a fortune for her.
Its success is so certain that the lady
before making application for a patent
took the hazardous course of exhibiting
it to manufacturers in the line inter
ested , and they unhesitatingly pro
nounced it of great value , supplement
ing their opinions with offers of finan
cial assitanco. Th'o name of the lady
and the nature So'f her discovery are
withhold for the present. A strong
tinge of romance ) surrounds her history.
She is related to an ex-cabinet officer ,
and once refused a fortune. She might
have broken a will which bequeathed
an immense sum of money to a charit
able institution , and the money would
have reverted , to 'herself ; bnt she re
fused , and went out into the world as a
governess. What is moro remarkable ,
she is determined to apply the , proceeds
or her patent to charitable work , re
serving just sufficient to sup
ply her own ' ' wants , and they
are very simple. She . ie a.
maiden lady , and such an example of
sacrifice is hard to duplicate anywhere.
"The recklessness with which people
purchase patents is remarkable , " Enid
Mr. Connolly. "When they buy real
estate , " ho said , "they do not pay for it
until an examination of the title proves
.it is not defective , Not so with patents.
A. case of this kind is in my mind now.
It is that of a Philadelphia tobacco man
ufacturer , who paid $23,000 for a patent ,
and then spent $ J,0001n counsel fees in
tryingto ascertain its , exact value.
After four months' research it was dis
covered that the patent was absolutely
valueless , tlmt the daims were not
broad onougu. and the manufacturer
was jubt gut Wd.OOu. "
"lo ) you Know what was puld for tli (
return oauV" was asked. It is. ono o !
the oldest and probably the most simple
toy.
"I have heard various amounts
stated , " was the reply. "They rftngo
all the way from n few thousand to
$1,000,000. T | p latter figure gives you
an idea people ontcrjaln regarding
> atcnts und their value. Ono of the
nest Important fallacies , you know , is
that cither the English or American
government offers u standing reward
or the discovery of perpetual motion ,
which all scientists know to bo forever
nn Impossibility. Alleged inventors of
perpetual motion' nro continually ap
plying for patents , and the patent office
it Washington has actually granted pa
pers to some of thorn. Now the patent
office examiners quickly dispose of those
cranks by requiring them to furnish n
working model , which , of course , they
can not do. Perpetual motion does not
2lalm the attention of all the cranks ,
however. Take the case of Dr. Michael
? ahill , for instance. Ho hails from Cal
ifornia , and by releasing certain kinds
of balloons ho claims to bo able to pro
duce a rainfall wherever and whenever
desired. The doctor is an educated
man , ami at first incotincr produces n
favorable Impression. "
"Has ho over secured a patent ? "
"Certainly not , and all ho has cVor
accomplished at the untent office is to
furnish amusement to the examiners be
fore ono of whom , a Hungarian of Jew
ish decent , his claims were once pre
sented. The examiner rejected them ,
and Cahill wont around the capital
howling mad , baying that 'that ' Hun
garian Jew had no appreciation of the
Irish rdce , and know nothing whatever
about bclehco. ' "
