"Wo hnvo nil the lights the city Is willing
to pay tor , " said.Alderman Luoy yesterday ,
when asked regarding the possibility of
properly lighting Broadway from the center
of the city to tbo river "If the citizens are
williog to pay for It , there Is nothing to pre
vent putting In an are light at every Inter
section , or as many as they see fit There Is
ono thing that I dent ' llko , and that Is the
present location of ono of the now towers ,
Which Is located at the corner of Broadway
and Twenty-fifth street I dent think it
mould bo on Broadway at all It was located
at the corner of avenue C and 'twenty-third
street , when wo viewed the ground
Four of the aldcrnion went out , and wo
thought that the best location , but Alderman
Kuephor objected , nnd it was changed to its
present location I think It should bo at
least two blocks from Broadway As for
moro low lights , that can bo easily settled
According to the present plan , there nro
thrco low lights located west of Twenty-JIftU
street , which would give ono light every
quarter ot a mile Of course , moro would
bo bettor , but wo dent ' wont to put them In
Unless the city desirns to huvo thorn A
good many want the lights , but dent want
to pay for them , but if they are wflllng to
I nay for what they get It would bo all right
for thorn to go aheaa and put thoin lo "
How about the tower at Third street and
Eighteenth avonuol"
"I think It is nil right , and the majority of
the loins living down there are satlslled
with it Some of thorn want It placed right
on their corn or , but they would soon get sick
of It if they had it Unless you have noticed
Iti paitloularly , you have no idea what a lot

avenue " So reads the city directory , but
the directory Is slightly off That Is to say ,
that It wns correct Saturday night , but not
on Sunday morning , for bctwoon the setting
of the sun nnd the rising of the moon Mr
Frnlnoy involuntnrlly changed hi * plnco of

directed to the county Jail , In care of Shorlft

ox-lawyer , cx-rallway postal clerk and news
paper man , is , flguratlvoly speaking , in the
soup , nr , moro literally , in the criminal
tureen " , with the cover tied on
The history of the Fralnoy caio has boon
previously published In these columns , but
it may not bo out of place to hero glvo a
brief synopsis of It
John J. Fralnoy was appointed adminis
trator or the estate ot B. II Fralnov , of
which ho wns ono of the helrr In this
capacity ho did not give satisfaction to the
oilier heirs , ami legal proceedings wuio In
stituted to remove turn Another adminis
trator was appointed , hut it was found that
nbout $1-00 could not bo accounted for An
order of the court was secured requiring
Fralney to make good the Bhortago , but he
neglected to do It , and ho was then trlod for
contempt ot court , found guilty , and sen
tenced to impiisoniunnt until ho complied
with the order of the court At this turn of
ulTairs , Fralney concluded that the cllmuto
of lowu was not very congenial and sklppell
to Omaha
Slncu his removal to the Nebraska mo-
tropopolls , Fralney has been cmplopod in nn
editorial capacity bv W. It Vaughn on the
Omaha Democrat Ho has paid several sur
reptitious visits to this side of the river , but
succeeded In oiudlng the ofllcers Ho gnvo
it out that ho was going to Sidney , Noli ,
Saturday uvonlng , to talco editorial cluirgo of
the Telegraph , ' but the parties interested In
his cauturo wcro of the opinion that the report -
port was thrown out to arrest suspicion , so
so that ho could visit his homo to say good
ii > o and leave for the west Sundav evening
A wntch was accordingly placed over his
house , nnd ho was seen to outer shortly before -
fore midnight
The sheriff was notified , and with a few
deputies soon bad the place surrounded
Sheriff O'Neill and Deputy Sheriff O'Connor '
entered the house aud searched it from collar
to garret The search was fruitless , so far
as llnding the desired object was concerned ,
and It was repcatod agalu and again Over
an hour was consumed , and every nook and
crovlco was carefully examined without suc
cess , and it began to loot : ns If it must be
given up , when It was noticed that the coil
ing ot ono of the rooms on the lower lloor
was partially watnscoatcd , as It to cover a
chimnor A clusu investigation of the second
lloor revealed the fact that , a bath tub was
set so ns to bo level with thu floor
It was covered with a trap door , and car
peted ever leaving no trnco of the opening
beneath The trap door was lifted , and Mr
Fralney , clad only in his night shirt nud re
posing in ns comfortable a position as pos
sible In the bath tub , gazed calmly out at
the officers Ho evinced a 9troig disposi
tion to stay there , until the order was given
for him to get out , when bo began quoting
law at a rapid rata , but emerged from Ills
hiding place and proceeded to dress Ho
wastakon to the county Jail where ho passed
the remainder of the night
Ho was visited in Jail yesterday by bis
wife and a few friends His attorney , W.
H. Ware , esq , was not in the city during
the morning , and Joan Llndt , esq , was
called to attend to his case The nltornqy
announced that ho was golnir to get Fralnoy
out on a writ of habeas corpus , but no such
mnvo was made
The amount now duo by Fralnoy is a Httlu
over $2,500 , and an attempt has * boon made
to induce him to turn ever his homestead
property to satisfy the claim This ho would
not do as long as no was at liberty , but It Is
regarded as probubla that such an arrange
ment will shortly bo consummated
The court can not take possession of the
property as long as the rnmilv occupies it ,
nnd unless the claim is satisfied , Frainoy
will remain behind the bars
Whatever move is made , it is certain that
Fralney will not assume his new position on
the Sidney Telegraph for uomollttlo tlmo

The Power of Truth
The Rev , T. J. Maokay addressed a largo
audience at St Paul's yesterday at tuo
morning hour Llko all of tbo popular rectors
tor's ' sermons , It was allva with the Issues
and necossltlos of the Christian church at
tnq present day It was devoted to an earn
est exposition ot the power ot truth ,
Wo can do nothing against the truth
There is an attitude of careless indlfferonco
assumed by many thinkers of the present
day to ward * , the great truths ot religion
This indlfferonco Is caused by the number
less divisions of Christians , aud by the dog
mutism and bigotry of the theologian In
Botne respects the opposition is reasonable
They protest ogaiuit the position ot many
teachers or religion at the present day , and
justly Theology has been declared by ( each
era of the tame to be uuprogrosslvo and un
like all other iclouoes , lacapublo of any
Rrowth or development , and shrinking In
their ciecds all that can bo known of God
and His attributes The sayings ot Christ
lead us to look for something very different
It is Impossible to read the gospel narratlvo
nnd not catch the Idea that other rovolatlons
of God nilcht bo forthcoming In thn lapsct ot
nicos Mnny ot the sayings ot Christ provo
that Ho never Intended that revelation
should cease with His departure , that stag
nation of Intellect should bo the consc-
quoncoof the closing of the canon ot scrip ,
turo It Is a weak | K > sttion for His church
to take to day , for by such n position
wo deny the presence of Gods holy spirit In
the world , which ts still as much Gods
world us ever
The speaker then wont nn to declare the
necessity of reason ns well ns faith , that wo '
know from tuo history of the past thnt mans
conception of God would contain only so
much positive truth ns the human mind is
capable of receiving , nnd the fact that our
conception of God is vastly above that of the
Ignorant and nurrow-mlndod Isrnlitc , ubovo
tnat hold by theologians of thn past should
bo an ovldcnco to us tbat faith must advance
with reason , nnd though nbsoluto trust Is un
attainable the amount ot error in our views
may bo constantly diminished , and thus our
duty Is to struggle over towards too light
There mavboChrlstnin churches thatoven to
day deny tins progression , but this church to
which wn ewe allegiance nnd ltivo certainly
Is not nna of thom Wo recognlzo that wo
are living In n transition n e , nnd we wel
come the frco discussion of subjects thnt
wcro once supposed Ut bolougciilirelv to the
domain of faith , feeling sure that God will
take care ot His own , truth , nnd thnt the In
terest shown by the people , the lulty In our
churches , In these obstrusu subjects of theol
ogy , will result in nn awakening of the
moral and spiritual ltfo of our church
The sneaker then made n personal appeal
to those who from any cause , wcro standing
aloof from the church , declaring that the
true man who will ally himself with every
effort which is being made by enrnott men to
know the truth pressing beautifully onward ,
though conscious till the tlmo that
Our llttlo systems huvo their day , they hnvo
their day mid cease to bo
They are but uroken lights of Thco and
thou , oh , God , art moro than they "
There are others standing on Inkle because
of the piesonco in tlio church who uro con
tent to remain in the old shell of a never
changing theology , who cling llko baruaclos
to the old rock , which the waves of truth are
dally dashing them , pour waters ever them
and they ceiiinln barnacles still But remem
ber thut God has use even fur btrnuclcs
What God bun patience with wo should en
dure , remembering that there are minds so
constituted that they cannot grasp the higher
truths which others attain unto by x trugL'lo
of soul The reason I admit so muen is lic-
cnuso I would plead with men , or persuade
them that there is a butter way than silent
indlfferonco and Innocence Because I
bolicvo that the strength of the
church must finally uomo froai the class
of men , who are now standing aloof I urn
pleading with tlioso who are honest and sin
cere , animated solely by a desire to know the
truth , ltito this church , which is not hampered -
pored by creeds of mans invention you enn
come It is a ctiurrh wtiich bus room for
honest doubt and honest doubters , nnd I
tool sure that in so saying I have the ap
proval of Ono who was sympathized with
honest doubt , and in whose church Jio would
llnd room for all who work towards the sauio
great end , regardless of their craods
The spenker then { closed with an appeal to
his hearers to ueigb well the oonsequonco of
their present course of Indiffurcnio , wanting
them thnt by holding apart from their
brelhron who nro engaged , however imper
fectly , in the work of uplifting Gods great
family ot mankind they tire delaying thcroby
the coining of Gods kingdom upon eartb , if
not lighting against God himsoif They do
avoid responsibility by their present course
God has placed us In this world to bless mid
benefit our kind

regarding his plans for building licit spring

he would-certainly build , as bo would have

ho not intend to remove it in the spring
Said ho : "I will put up a three-story block
in uuy event , and If I can make arrange
ments with tbo hotel folks for the use of
rooms , I will run it up six stories They will
have about 125 rooms , and I could let thom
twcnty-tlvo moro rooms , but unless I can
make satisfactory arrangements with thom I
shall hardly put on the three additional
stories It will bo a h ndsoma block , and
the hotel will not suffer in appn.iratico by
hnving it alongside , not that ttio contrast
Will be great , for both will bo models of

A PLUCKY LITTLE SOHOOLMAAM
She Helped Slicrldm to Win Ills
Famous Fight at Wliiclmmor
"Do ypu know , " said nn old gentle
man of military maimera who poke tote
to Mr Oluirlos Frohinmi in the loliby of
Proctors Twenty-third street thcatro ,
Now York , hottveon the acts of "Sliou-
andoah , " " that I saw a ludy in tlio row
in front of us who romiudu mo of the
llttlo Quaker schoolmn'am who helped
General Shoriduu to will tuo fight at
WinohcstefV" " •
"Is that ao ? " Mr Frohmctn roplicd
Who Is she ? "
She is the wife of
a man named Bon
sai Mrs R. M. Bonsai , I believe , alio
was called " said the military man
General Slioridiin pointed her out tome
mo in Washington ono day She was a
cleric In the pension olllco then , and
Sheridan got her the position IIo tola
mo the whole story "
What was it ?
Well , this is it , as I roraombor it
The general said people always talked
about Sheridan's ' luck and said ho was
reckless and daring , but this woman
wus witness that ho navor wont it blind
nnd that ho always fought on his in
formation There was no luclc in it ,
ho said When ho wns down in
the Shenandoah valley in ' 04 , lying before -
fore Winchester , ho wanted informa
tion of what was goitigon in the ene
my's lines , and ho wnntod it awful bad
Crook was pretty well acquainted in
that country and the general at last
asked him it ho didn't ' knowsomeono in
Winchobtor upon whom they could do-
pond IIo suid there was a llttlo Quaker
girl in tlio town whom ho thought was
all right , and Sheridan concluded to
try her ,
There was nn old darky who had n
garden patch about fifteen miles from
the generals headquarters , " continued
the spoaicor This darky had a pass
to go into Winchester three or four
times n week with vegetables for the
confederate olllcers and townspeople
Shoridnn had hlra brought to his head
quarters ono night and asked him if ho
knew the sehooiraarm , Ho said ho did ,
aud ho agreed to got n note to
her , Shoridnn wrote a letter to her on
tissue paper , appealing to her loyalty
and requesting her to give him some
information of what wns going on in the
rebel camp , IIo wrapped the note up
in tin foil in a little wad and made the
old darkey carry it in his mouth Next
day the dtirkoy drove to Winchester
and gave the note to Rebecca Wright
that was her maiden name , "
Did ho got an answer ? "
Yes , the darky brought back a reply
in which the sehoulmurm gave soma
very important information and prom
ised to send soma moro from time to
tlmo She and Geueral Shoriduu kept
upncorrosponilenco.nfter that , and ha
know everything old Early was doing
After n few wcolre she sent word
that Korshnw's r division of 8,000
or 10,000 mon had boon detached nnd
was going to join ljeo's nrmy Aa soon
ns Sheridan learned thnt Kershaw was
gone nnd was fur enough off to prevent
Ills getting back ho " made the nttack
and captured Winchester "
Did ho find tho.jjirl In the town ? "
"Iudoed ho did , rind his report of
thnt battle was written in her school
room "
Then the military man reentered
the theatre nnd saw Shoridan's ride

ELECTRICITY THE FATAL SPARK
1'hystologloal Theories Upset by the

How are wo made and what nro wo
here for ? "
Man is nn inquisitive animal , and
these two questions have bothered hi in
during all limo , and will probably enn-
tlnuo to ao h > untij * tlio Inst trump
sounds , says a writer in the Philadel
phia lnquiror To llnd out how ho is
made man is fond ot probing himsoif
and cutting up his fellowmen nnd in
all ages now ldo'is arise us to the prin
ciples which make up and govern tlio
human system
There is u man in this city who claims
to have made botne novel and startling
discoveries in human-physiology , to
have oxplaluod many mysteries , that
anatomists and doctors have purled
ever for centuries , and nbovo all to
have dtscovured tlio true seat and na
ture of the soul Tlio mini is Dr A. II
Slovens , and all his discoveries arc
bated upon electricity as tlio prlmu element -
ment in sustaining life
"I hntfo spent thirty years in the in
vestigation of electricity us applied to
tlio human body , " paid Dr Stevens to
an Inquirer reporter , who called upon
him at his residence on Green
htroet The old Greek nhllosonhor ,
Thales who was ono of tlio first dls-
envorot's of oloetrloity mule ) many in
teresting experiments ) and applied the
lluid very successfully in the treatment
of curtain bodily diseases , so that tlio
ignorant and superstitious people of his
time revered him asa god , but from
that time to this vury little notice lias
boon taken of electricity by writers on
anatomy and physiology on account of
their ignorance of the llrst principles
and laws thut govern olectricitv
'
Electricity is everywhere , " contin
ued the doctor "Evor.v speck , sn ' ace

it At every breath wo liihalo a largo

One of Dr Stoydns' most peculiar
theories is regarding the circulation of

philosophy of the old school doctors
The circulation , of the blood is not
cftected by tlio pulsations of the henrt , "
ho said ; but by moans of the positive
electricity of tlio atmosphere which is
taken into the lun s at every inspira
tion The ordinary sized man contains
two or three gallons of blood , which
performs its circuit through the
Bystuni once in every tno or
tnreo minutes , 'io' ' that fifty gallons
or nearly two barrels ptiss through
the body every hour Now we are told
that lo move this blood through the
system requires a motive power of fifty
tons , or 100,000 pounds pressure , which
is exerted by the buction oi * hydraulic
power of the lioat a little organ or
muscle weighing loss than ono pound
I say the heart can not perform sucli n
stupendous work , und Hint a mure ab
surd idea than this never obtained a
foothold in science , A score of tlio
ino.st ingenious inventors of the world
could not , with nil their combined
skill , invent a machine ot thu strongest
metal the bizo of tlio heart , that would
not bo torn to atoms before it could sus
tain oven a hundredth part of this great
pressure
"Tlio motive power which sends the
blood coursing through the body is
electricity The lungs tire kept con
tinually positive by the oxygen or elec
tricity of tlio utmosnhoro , nnd tlio iifl-
pure blood coming from the extremities
of the system in a negative condition is
made pure and positive , but as the law
of oleetricityis that two positftcs must
repel ono another , tlio blond is there
fore forced from the positive lungs to
tlio heart and thenec ever the system
The liourt regulates the circulation , but
gives no motive power , precisely as the
pendulum of a clock regulates iho move
ment but gives no power lo the works
When the blood roaches the extremities
it is impure and in u ucgativo condition ,
and is accordingly attracted back to the
positive lungs , thus completing the
circuit of the system "
The soul , Dr Slovens thinks , is lo
cated in the corpus cnllo um , a little
spongy body situated at tlio base of the
brain , which lias dolied thoellortsof
physicians in their iudcuvors to ascer
tain its uses in the human uualomv
The corpus collosum , " said the doctor ,
"is the scut of the imporishnblo mind ,
nnd is the great reservoir and store
house of bloctrieity , which is abstracted
from the blood In the arteries and con
voyed through the nerves up the spinal
cord to the corpus callosum , "
