It ilonnlhnn .Jones nn Idiot ?
The cnso of .Tonnltmii Jones a chestnut-
was before the district court again yesterday
on n motion for ft new trial. Ho lias been
found guilty several times for killing Hob-
crts , but has secured now trials until It
seems that the end would never come. Yes
terday Judge Ucemer , who has been consid
ering the motion for another now trial , ren
dered his decision. It was against any now
trial. This was not a surprise , although a
strong argument In its favor hud been mndo
by Colonel Scott.
A motion was then made to stay Judgment
on the ground that Jones Is so mentally de
ranged as not to bo c.ipablo of comprehend
ing or understanding what is transpiring
around him , much less know nr understand
for what ho has been convicted , or what is
meant by a sentence of the court ; that de
fendant Is a mental Imbecile.
Among theantdavlts In supporlof this were
those of Dr. .1. M. Hurstew , Dr. Donald
Macrae. Dr. F. S. Thomas , Dr. John Green ,
Dr. A. J. Cook , and Dr. II. W. Hart. They
swore they had examined Jones , and In their
judgment ho Is now Insane.boyonO the power
to comprehend or understand the action of
any court. They express the opinion that
this has been of long standing , and probably
inherited. The well Known standing of these
physicians seems to settle the question as to
whether Jones is now insancor not , whatever
may bo the opinion as to his sanity at the
time he shot Hobcrt.
Judge Deemer said ho could not under
such a showing proceed to sentence Jones ,
and ho could not under the law puss upon the
question of his sanity. The case would have
to go over until the next term of court. Then
a Jury can be called to settle the question. If
the contrary should bo thullndingtticn Jones
should be taken to some asylum. Tliu qucs-
tlcn would then arise what good would result
from taking him to an asylum , if he is meur-
able and harmless , a Micro idiot , or imbecile ,
able to walk about and not able to do anyone
either harm or good. -

The property owners along streets ordered
paved are invited to express their prefer
ences to the city council on or before the
meeting Monday night. The council has sev
eral bids under consideration , and the chief
question is in regard to the kind of founda
tion to be put in. There ought to be some
expression also given in regard to the use of
tar. It has been pretty well demonstrated
by the paving on Oakland avenue that the
end of the blocks which were tarred have
already rotted , so that they crumble llko
clay. It is claimed that Minneapolis has
completely done- away with the tar , olid in
Chicago there Is little bolnir used. Those
who 1110 protesting against tar do so on the
giound that It stops up the pores in the wood ,
thus preventing the moisture from escaping
and leaving it to steam and rot out the wood.
It is believed that the pavements would dry
out better and become thoroughly dry If no
tar was used.

Uncle KIIIU'H House.
The gas fixtures for the government build
ing arrived yesterday from Now York. They
arc of a very Imndsomo pattern , and will add
much to the appearance of the Interior of the
structure. They uro furnished by P , W.
Wilmont , of Chicago , and were made ex
pressly for this building. The letters "U.
S. " appearing on each koy. They arc what
IK known as the combination llxturcs , being
arranged for either gas or electric lighting.
The wires for the latter are concealed in the
Interior of the tubes , In this connection it Is
proper to mention that nn impoitant matter
was overlooked In the construction of the
building , and that is the placing of wires for
elect rlc lighting. Tlieio Is not a wire for
tins purpose in the building , and if electricity
Is used lor Illuminating the s'.ructuro , the
wires will have to bo run on the surface of
the walls , giving a bungling appearance to
the work. Thu couit room is to bo lighted
by a beautiful chandelier of masalvo si/o ,
having thiity gas jets on un equal number of
Incandescent lights. It will talio about two
weeks to place all of the lUtures lu position ,
anil by that Unto uvurythingelsu in the build
ing with the exception of the elevator will bu
completed. Hlds for putting in thu olovutor
uro now being icceivcd , and the contract will
bo let in a few duys.

enough to purchase the Pai'iilo house site.
No uioro Is wanted for tha Woodbury corner ,
but the above named must bo secured jk fora
the offer ol tUo Chlij. ; ; syndicate § ar b ? uo
ccptcd. Several of thq rropcrtyjwncrs on
Hroadway say , "Why don't yo'a build the
hotel ou the Pacific liouso sitof'- but refuse
to give anything or but little for that pur
pose. The committee has visited them nil ,
nnd now announces Hint unless tlicso pro
perty owners comer to time , and MISO the
f4,000 , the whole scheme will fall through
nnd the proposed hotel will not go up there.
The truth of the matter Is that those who
would receive the greatest benefit from the
erection of the hotel are doing the least to
secure It , They have been hoping to reap all
of Its advantages without expending n cent ,
and the matter has now reached n stage
where they will be compelled to subscribe
liberally nr give up their fond hopes of in
flated valuations on their property. What
ever is done must bo done before the tenth
of this month , as that Is the limit ilxcd by
the Chicago capitalists.

The Motor I/Inc Again 12n.olnol. |
Just before the afternoon adjournment of
the district court , Attorney Ilnldnn' , repre
senting the Wabash railroad , applied for and
was granted nn injunction restraining the
operation of the Manawa motor line uerois
Iheir tracics. In the petition it was alleged
that Mr. Head has not only neglojtaJ. bat ro-
fuscd to sign a cot.tr.ict Indemnifying the
road against damage incident to this crossing ,
The olllcials of the railroad say that all
they want is that Mr. Heed shall keep the
crossings In repair and otherwise suitably in
demnify them against loss. The injunction
has not yet boon served , nor will the opera
tion of the motor line bo restrained for thu
present at least.
The Wabash has already shown Its disposi
tion to favor the motor line by moving two
sidetracks so us to make less tracks to cross ,
and has allowed the crossing to bo put lu
with the promise that Mr. Heed would sign
n contract similar to those signed with the
other roads. It is claimed that he has been
slow in fixing up such a contract ana that
this is to hurry him up.

The contracts for an additional mile of
paving will ho let to-tnorrow night. The
territory to bo paved embraces nil the streets
between Paul and Eighth and Hroadway and
Sixth avenue , besides Fourth , Vine , Harri
son , nnd scvcial other thoroughfares. The
question of material is receiving consideru-
nble attention among thn interested property
owners. Pome arc in laver of the same kind
of paving that is being put down on Lower
Uroadway , that is the cedar blocks on sand
and plunk foundation , while others are in
favor of a concrete foundation. Cypress
blocks as a paving material is receiving
considerable attention , as it is claimed that
they can bo finished at the same price as the
cedar , and will last twenty-live years. They
have been put on the market by several con
tractors who became dissatisfied with the
Chicago pool having control of the cellar
block supply.
A few of the propeity owners have de
clared in favor of hard brick , and it is pi Ob-
able that a few blocks of that material will
bo put down this season.

er1) of the evening. Arriving hare the hall
was quickly filled , enthusiasm was at Us
height and unbounded. When the veterans
of IslU , who had voted for "Tippecanoe and
Tyler , too , " were tisited to take places on the
platform , eight responded amid cheers.
The programme ouibratcd speeches by
John Y. Stone , Judge Thurston and others.
Charles M. Il.irle , president of the club , presided -
sided and introduced the speakers. The Hub-
stance of Mr. Stone's address wns a iccoiint-
ing of the changes which have occurred
through the change in the national adminis
tration. To thu strength of the present re
publican candidates , ho said , "Harrison will
loose no votes because his ancestors signed
the declaration ol independence. The demo
cratic party would give a million dollars if
G rover Cleveland had a grandfather. " "No
soldier will ever present his cl ilm for a pen
sion to Harrison , which has passed the two
houses of congress , and see in Ins face any
sign of rclusal. " The address was full of
good points which were enthusiastically re
ceived.
Judge Thurston was then intioduced and
was icceived with vocilcrous cheers.
"JJo.vs , " said lie , "what's the matter with
Hen Harrison. " "He's all right , " responded
the audience. Tills was the keynote to the
short address which followed , i'his was a
practical and full ol points which are engag
ing thu minds of Ilia people all over the
country to-day. It was u rattler , and at Its
conclusion three rousing cheers were given
for tliu republican candidates and another
three for Judge Thurston.
Hon. James McCabu , of Shenandoali , fol
lowed in the same vein , which closed the
addresses of thu evening.

An LOIccti-lc Mining Hond.
Among the interesting applications of
electricity to mining work , the electric
road in the coal mines at Lykens. Pn. ,
is ono of the moat successful. It has
been shown that electricity offers es
pecial advantages for use at mines
where fuel is scarce and water-power of
easy access , as in the silver and other
mines in our western territory ; but , be
sides the decreased cost of fuel , the
case with which electric motors can be
used in almost any position , under con
ditions that steam engines could not
meet , makes electric transmission still
more valuable. In coal mines the co t
of fuel is , ot course , a small item ; but
the greater safety , ellicicncy , and lloxi-
bility of a system of electrical distribu
tion , as compared with a number of
steam engines , give it an advantage
which must soon oe recognised. In the
Lykons Valley mines there lias been
used for some time an electric-motor
car to take the place of mules for haul
ing cars from the mine. The length of
the road is C > , ; ! 0 ( ) fcot ; the weight of the
locomotive , 15,001) ) pounds ; the largest
load it is capable of handling , 150 tons ;
the speed , six to eight miles per hour.
A second road on the same general
plan is being equipped for the same
company. The system employed is the
Schlcsingcr.
A New Current System.
The prediction made but u compara
tively short time ago , that an alternat
ing current motor of an eflicicncy com
parable with that of a continuous
current motor would soon bo forth
coming has not required a long time for
its fulfillment. Methods by which such
a motor could ho constructed have been
clearly pointed out , and their advan
tages and disadvantages dilated upon ;
but now , without employing any of
those signali/.cd , Mr. Tcsla , of New
York , has struck out on a new line of
thought , and in the construction of his
machine , utili/cs a principle of exceed
ingly broad application. It is evident
that as motion ih a relative term only ,
it makes no dillei-encc vvhcther the
magnet poles bo stationary and
the armature bo moved , or
whether the armature be stationary
and the poles bo moved ; not' docs it
make any dilTorcnco whether the poles
move as a body or whether the magnet
ism force be so disposed that the poles
shift regularly and progressively in a
stationary nuiss of iron. The latter i.s
the principle upon which Mr Tcshi's ap
paratus is based , and the great modifica
tions of which it is capable in trans
formers and motors of various kinds are
well shown in his paper read at the an
nual institute of the American Institute
of Electrical Engineers. That which
will attract most general attention , and
which is specially dwelt upon by Mr.
Tcsla , is the fact that the motor re
quires no commutators , nor does the
armature in fact require any connection
witn the lines whatever , as it consists
simply of an inductive device mounted
in bearings. As an exposition of the
principles and theory of this now sys
tem of applying alternating currents to
various uses , .Mr. Tesla's paper is remarkable -
markablo for it > t thorough and compre
hensive nature.
Kleotrlc Presses.
It was early seen that the introduc
tion of the practical electric motor
would bo an immoiiho boon to printing
olllces and press rooms , and ono is not
surprised , therefore , to see a power so
handy , clean and compact in form
adopted by printers everywhere. When
the Electrical World printed Borne
80,000 copies of that paper by electric
motor ut the Philadelphia Electrical
exhibition in 1881 , there was no ether
such plant in the country in regular
operation. To-day there are literally
hundreds of presses all over the coun
try driven electrically , and the results
are generally of the most satisfactory
character.

That the bodies of the dead , oven a
long time after the moment of death do
perform actions which have till the appearance -
pearanco of volition , are instances fa
miliar to every student of medical liter
ature , says the San r'rnncibco Examiner.
Physicians , it is true , assure us that in
those movements the element of volition
docs not enter , and they have given to
this muscular movement the nnjno of
"rollox action , " and this apparently , wo
are expected to accept a a perfectly
lucid explanation of a phenomenon ,
which , without the name would bo oh-

commonly known as "Gray Flank , " met
si miner named Drc.-fuss ono day , with
whom ho had had a dispute the pre
vious night about n pack of cards , and
1 asked him into a barroom to have a ,
1 drink. The unfortunate minor taking
I ' this as an overture of peace , gladly con-
seated. They stood at the counter , and
'
while Drcyfu'ss was in the act of drinking
'
ing Graha'in shot him dead. This was
in 1.SU5. Within an hour after the mur
der Graham was in the hands of the
vigilantes , and that ovcniutr at sunset ,
after a fair , if informal trial , ho was
hanged to the limb of a tree which
grew upon n little eminence within
sight of the whole camp.
The original intention had been to
" him " is in
"string up , as customary
such nu'airs , and with a view to that
operation the long rope had been
thrown over the limb , while a do/.en
hair of hands wore ready to hoist away.
For some reason this plan was
abandoned , the rope \vn& given a single
turn about the limb at a suitable dis
tance from the noose , the free end mndo
made fast to a bush , and the victim
compelled to bland on the back of a
1 horse , which , at the cut of a whip ,
sprang from under him , leaving him
i swinging. When steadied his feet
were about eighteen inches from the
earth.
The body remained suspended for ex
actly half an hour , the greater part of
the crowd remaining about it. Then
the "judge" ordered it taken down.
The rope was untied Iroin the bush , and
two men stood to lower away. The mo
ment the feet came squarely upon the
ground the men engaged in lowering ,
I thinking , doubtless , that those standing
about the body had hold of it to support
. it , lot go the rope. The body at once
1 ran quickly towards the main part of
1 the crowd , the rope paying out as it
' went. The head rolled from side to
I hide , the eyes and tongue protruding.
' With cries of horror the crowd ran
hither and thither , stumbling , falling
over onu another , cursing. In and out
among them , over the fallen , coming
into collision with others , his direction
governed by blind caprice , the horrible
dead man ' 'pranced , " his fcot lifted so
high at each step that his knees struck
his breast. The deepening twilight
added his terror to the uncanny scene ,
and bravo men lied from the spot , not
daring to look behind.
Straight into this confusion from the
outskirts of the crowd walked with
rapid steps the tall liguro of a man
whom all who saw instantly recognised
as a master spirit. This was Dr. Arnold
Spier , who , with two ether physicians ,
had pronounced the man dead , and had
been retiring to camp. Ho moved as
directly toward the dead man as
the now somewhat less rapid and erratic
movements of the latter would permit ,
and sei/ed him in hisarms. Encouraged
bv this. 11 score of men sprang shouting
to the fice end of the rope , which hail
been drawn entirely over the limb , and
laid hold of it , intending to make a
finish of their work. They ran with it
toward the bush to which it had been
fastened , but there was no resistance ;
the physician had cut it from the dead
murderer's nock. In a moment the
body was lying on its back , with com
posed limbs and face upturned to the
Kindling stars in the motionless rigidity
appropriate to death. The hanging had
been done well enough ; the neck had
been broken by the drop. Dr. Spier
know that u corpse which , placed upon
its fcot , would walk run , would lie still
when placed unoii its buck. The dead
are creatures ol habit.

In a farm house , ono and one-half
miles northwest of Waldron , Hillndalo
count v , lives John Hrookn , Hiys the De
troit Journal , who is thought to bo the
oldest man in the state. Ho was born
at Hancock , N. II. , Juno 18 , 17bJ ( , and ,
therefore , ho is NX ) years old to-day.
His ancestry cannot bo traced beyond
New England , but from what has been
learned , ho io thought to bo of Scotch-
Irish descent. His curly life , or the
nio t of it , was opont on a farm.
Shortly before the war of 1812 ho
moved to Milford , N. H. , where ho
worked at blacksmithing until his
brother , being drafted for the war and
unable to go , he olTercd to go as his
substitute.
After his discharge ho wont back to
Hancock , where he was marricd. it the
ago of twenty-eight , to Miss Deidemia
IJrooks , of that place.
Mr. Brooks is above the average in
Weight and siaturoBjpnlo and perfectly
erect , with an iron constitution thafl
bids fair for endurance for many years'
to come.
"Tho worst language , ho recently re
marked , that I remember of over hav
ing used , and for which I have always
been sorry , was once when a terribly
ugly cow I had wns acting at her ugliest.
I spoke to her as being possessed with
the devl. | I thought afterwards I might
have said she was a "very bad cow justi
as well. "
Two years ago , it being Mr. Brook's
100th birthday , a celebration was holdt
in the grove on the farm where ho lives.
Three brass bands , various G. A. R.
posts , and ether organisations , were
prcsonttho attendance in all amounting1
to about four thousand people , assem
bled to do him honor.
John liohinson , died .luno 11 nt Ncenali.
