LINCOLN , Nov. 4. ( Special Telegram. )
The Dorsey case In federal court was grind
ing along all iiay with P. M. Dorsey on
the stand being cross-examined by the at
torney for the government. The questions
were mostly about various prices of property
In 1'onca , Dlxon , Denver and other places ,
wjlch Dorscy had put Itr at high valuations.
Thn government claims that the property in
moat caEcs was valued at five times Its iictual
worth and that some of It was unloaded In
exchange for largo notes that were really
worthless. Nine lots In Denver , \vhch | Darscy
Bald wtro worth ? 5,000 , had been turned over
to a man who worked 1m Dorscy's stable , In
exchange for a $ iGOO note. Witness slid he
cnuld not remember whether the mortgage
to Rccurc the notes .had been recorded or
not. The defense objected to this line of
questions. The objection was overruled by
the judge , who said :
"Tho oUdcnco demonstrates that the de
fendant took a mortgage on the property from
n financially worthless man and did not deem
the property valuable enough to record the
mortgage. The fact should bo shown the
jury , it la customary In such OIRCS for a
man receiving sticii a mortgage to make a
bco line for Lie recordei'a ofiicc. "
The government also Inquired closely about
a stock of merchandise In 1'onoi , which
Dsrsoy had claimed to own , and which It
wns desired to show had been purchased In
exchange for notes belonging to the bank.
SUSPENDS YI3ISHK JUDGMENT.
The Yclser telephone case was appealed to
the buprcmo court today. The Telephone
company made application for an order sus
pending the proceedings on the judgment
of the district court pending a review of the
matter by the supreme court , and nude n
( thawing that should the company at this
time give Yelfe-r a telephone at $3. per
nonth as ordered by the district eourt , n
largo proportion of the 1,300 stil 2rlbers In
Omaha would ask for the same reduction and
refuse to pay more than Yel&er , which would
firoitly damage the business of the company
l" > ftire- the matter could be heard In the
y ; > pcr court. The order prayel for was
granted , conditioned upon the furnhhlng of
a bond by the company In the sum of $1,000 ,
for the payment of all damages Yelser might
custali by reason of the suspension of the
judgment.

of ' \ MV York Ilurliiir.
From military sources It Is learned that a
general plan has bcca agreed on by the
War and Navy departments relative to the
control of commence and shipping In the
port of New York , In the event of hostili
ties. The plan has Ml been made public ,
says the Now York Herald , but some of
Its iuo3t Interesting features are known. Ai
the very outset of war being declared , guard
vessels would be statl-iiud tit Sundy nook
and at the Narrows on the south side , and
at Hell Gate and Willcts Point to the east
ward. All vessels approaching New York
would have to report at the outer guard
ships and have their pipers examined. H
found correct , they would be permitted to
proceed toward the city. The papers would
be re-examined by the Inner line of guard
vessels but the examination would be of
slioit duration BO long as there was a v'nc
from the outer vessels.
In passing .tit to Hca the llrst examina
tion would be either at Hell Gate or at the
Narrows , lloth positions would be con
nected by military telegraph with the ouicr
Hvv offfffl csenl mya aln g
stations. Should a vessel attempt to p-s-i
the Inner line and run to sea , the fac *
would bo communicated by wlro to Sandy
Hook ' .r Wlllets 1'olnt , and the outer line
would take steps to stop her. No vcascl.1 }
except those of the government and those
having special authority would be permitted
lo pass In or out of the haibor after night
fall. The guard vessels and torpedo erati
assigned t _ . the protection of the port would
overhaul and examine at all times , where
deemed advisable , every form of craft com
ing under observation. Foreign war ships
would not be permitted to enter New York
In a greater number than three , and , except ,
when good reasons were assigned , the siay
of a foreign war craft would be limited to
eight da > s. At Sandy HoJk , Wllleta 1'olnt
ami at Fort Hamilton a detail of naval ofll-
cers and a few signal men would be sta
tioned In a consulting capacity. The naval
olllcers would be expected to glvo such In
formation relative t othe vessels In range
as experience would dictate.
All telcgpiuh systems leading to h- > various
shore points would be under the charge of
the commandant of the military district , anJ
when messages were to be sent by cables by
private Individuals t'hey would have to pass
through the hands or a censor. No messaged
would bo permitted to be sent abroad In
cipher by private senders. A1 ship approachIng -
Ing Sandy Hook by day would have to obtuin
permission before It would be permitted to
como within range of the shore defenses.
Should It como In without having first ob
tained consent by Mgnal It would be warned
off by n blank thot. Should this prove In-
sufllcleiit It would bo followed by a shot
across Its bows and finally by a direct shot
If necessary. A ship would have to stop and
hoist its number , thus Indicating Its wish to
enter the harbor. This signal would be an
swered at the fort by tne International prac-
tiquc. If the answer was "No , " the vessel
would have to stand out to sea under pain
of being fired on If It continued to approach.
The pilotage of the port would be In the
hands of the military commander of the dis
trict. All pilotage not coming under the di
rection of\the military authorities would be
prohibited. The pilots would be known as
military pilots anl would bo required to take
an oath of loyalty to the government. The
positions of the torpedo mines would ba
pointed out to them and they would be re
quired to observe the utmost secrecy con
cerning aho defenses. All the pilots wouli !
bo given certificates showing them to bo un
der the jurisdiction of the military authori
ties and these certificates would bo their
commli'lsons to engage In piloting work. The
corps of military pilots , It Is expected , would
bo recruited almost wholly from those now
engaged In the work.
The anchoring of vessels would bo some
what modified. The commandant of the port
may permit vesesls to anchor within range
of the fortifications , but under no circum
stances would vessels of any description bo
allowed to pass within the lines of submarine
obstructions. All private vessels and boats
of neutral powers would be forbidden to move
about the harbor and communication with the
shcio could only bo made during the day am' '
In accordance with the rules issued by the
commandant of the port.

"I expect you had an awful time at the
election last night , for I heard that nearly
all the girls wanted to bo president , am
that thcro was going to bo a ternble light. '
"There wasn't , " exclaimed the president
sweetly , "not n bit of trouble , and all the
old officers were re-elected , too , You see , :
wanted to bo president myself this year , and
Alicia Brown wanted to stay In olllcc , too
BO wo fixed up a llttlo plan between us , aiu
It was a famous success. "
"What did you do ? Hurry up and tel
me ! " the other girl exhorted her excitedly
"How cti earth did you manage it ? "
The president smiled happily , relates the
Denver Times.
"Oh , Alicia and I talked It over before
hand , " she eatd , "and jnnt as soon as thn
meeting was called to order , and before the
girls had got through talking , she made a
motion that the oldest girl In the club be
made president ulwa > s , uiid Lucilo Hicks
seconded it. She wanted to be secretary
again , you see. So I put the motion , or the
question , or whatever It was , and Alicia and

girls did the name without understanding
what It was all about In the least. My ! bui
BOmo of them were mad afterward , though ! '
"What hapnened thpn ? " asked the other
girl , "Did they all tell their ages under
protest ? " '
"No , indeed , not a bit of It , " remanded
the president , emlllng again. "I just knew
they wouldn't. When they found out what
It meant they wouldn't say a word , SD Alicia
got up again and moved that all the old
Oolllcers bu elected over ugaln unanimously
And every girl In the room shouted 'Yc.i. '
They were glad of any way out of the dlfll-

24,268 , and Hoicotnb tad a plurality of
2,409. If the vote In these counties Is the

will be 11,036. But the vote of the sixty-
seven counties BO far reported shows a falling

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Times ,
writing from Demlng , New Mexico , saja :
Otto Mcrgcnthalcr , the Inventor of the
Inotypc , Is here passing the winter and ,
sad ns the Intelligence Is , perhaps his last
daye. Consumption has laid Its hand upon
ilm , and I was told by n friend of one of his
myslclans ( bit the man of medicine believes
ils patient's end Is within the ken of mortal.
Jesplto this menace , however , he Is cheerful
and does much work ach day. Ho Is conni
ng upon giving to the world another Inven-
Ion within a year.
I called upon htm In hit ; beautiful Demlng
ionic on the outskirts' the town. No one
n the cast would expect to find such a house
equipped with such surroundings away out
icrc on the great desert. It Is a large square
jrlck structure. Through the center Is a
wldo hall largo enough to accommodnlo a
billiard table that Is much enjoyed by the
friends ho has gathered around him and the
members of his family. Wldo porches sur
round the big house , and broad lawns , kept
green by liberal sprinkling are the play
grounds of his children. From this point his
ayes may range over n magnificent vista.
Looking to the south are the great Trcs Her
Manas ( Three Sisters ) mountains , that
twcnty-flvo mllca away stand on the border
: > f the sister republic , niul lift their heads
Into the over blue sky.
Nearer and a llttlo to the cast are the
Floitdn. mountains , that at a distance remind
one of the legends of ancient feudal castles.
They are extremely precipitous and their
[ leaks are serrated and fashioned to rcsemb'e
these turrets from which the tocsin sounded
the alarms. Further east are the Organs ,
and north Is the great Cook's Peak.
TUB INVENTOR'S APPEARANCE.
When Mrs. Mcrgcnthalcr showed me to
her husband's library , the Inventor sat workIng -
Ing at some mechanical problem at his desk ,
lie Is mlo and thinner than when the people
ple of the east list saw him , anda } \ cough
annoys him frequently. The linotype that
machine that Is to newsroper nuking what
the telephone and telcgranh are to commer
cial life was of course the llrst topic of
conversation. Referring to his Invention , he
oald he never expects to see any typemaklng
device cheap enough to be within reach of
the smaller class or countiy papers.
"Do you expect to give to the world any
new labor-saving device ? " 1 naked him.
"No , " he answered slowly , "no , not right
awaj , buj. orobably within a year. "
"What will it be ? "
"I cannot tell you. No one knows what It
Is. The world must wait and see. I re
member a time , " he continued reflectively ,
"when I was a boy In the old country , that 1
saw the need of nn Improved "chuck" for
lathes. I worked an It diligently , and when
I thought I had 'It completed took It to a
neighbor , a machinist , and showed it to him.
He gave U such a careless glance that It
Injured me , and without saying a word
reached under his b3iich and brought our
Identically the same thing. So , you ace , It
Is not best to tell what you Intend to do
until you have accomplished It. "
Then ho told mo the story of his life.
At the age of IS years he arrived In
America penniless , and with nothing else but
his brief cvjcTlenco In mechanics. He went
to Washington , and during the succeeding
four years worked on the mechanism of elec
tric clocks and bells and signal service ap
paratus for the government. In the last
named , he made many Improvements and in
vented several new ones. At the end ol
these four years ho went to Baltimore , where
h -thought ho SAW a. wider flold for bis talents.
Ho has made that city his home until more
than a year ago , when ho came to the south
west to seek health.
It was in 1870 , soon after he located In
the Monumental City , that the history of
the linotype begins. From then until 1880
four years he gave his every thought to
the creation of his machine. He took lit
tle rest. Night and day ho tolled , and
gradually put Into his work the gold of his
brain and the brawn of his body. Only such
men as Morse , Field , Gray , Bell or Edlaon
could tell what such toll and application
means.
Finally , at the end of 'these ' four years of
struggle , he had a machine that would , by
action uf a keyboard something like a type
writer , set a line of key dies or types , jus
tify them to 'the exact width of a column or
any required measure , and cast It Into a
solid line of lead or typo metal , Yet hla
work was not done , for after he had ac
complished all this and had secured hla
patents , another obstacle seemed to balfie
him. Men of money discredited his machine
oven after they'had ' seen It work. Publlsers
said It was Impracticable. They were
willing to try his device If he could show
that It would do the work of five or six men
setting typo from the case , but not until
then did they care to take any risks. By
consant pleadings , however , ho at last suc
ceeded in organizing a company with small
capital , which In the next tlneo years was
consumed in efforts to place the linotype In
the composing room of some dally news
paper.
TURN OF THE TIDE.
With money all gone , the machine turned
down , the despair of failure , of neven years
of wasted toll of death , almost , was upon
him. Moreover , his physical system was
shattered and ho passed the next three
years in a struggle to live. But day dawned
for him at last. In 188G Whltelaw Reid of
the Now York Tribune agreed to try a ma
chine. It proved a success and ho equipped
his office with them. Tlr-n the Louisville
Courier Journal , through the foresight of
Mr. Halderman. ono of Its owners , took
them up , and from that time > fame and a
golden reward were his. Slnco 1880 3.COO
machines , that rcprcs'iit a value of $10DOO-
000 , have been sold or leased.
Ho Is able to enjoy the dry and asccptic
atmosphere of this region as ho wills , but a
part of his tlmo Is given to tha work of
writing a hlntory of the Inception , develop
ment and completion of his Invention in
connection with some of his personal ex
periences. HU four children , the oldest a
boy of 14 , and liln wife are with him , and
for HID children he lias a tutor. It Is Mr.
Mcrgcnthaler'8 Intention to glvo his children
all they can rccslvo.
Mr , Mergenthalor first came west a year
ago last June to benefit hla health and wont
to Prescott , A. T. , whodo ho roughed It for
four months. Cool temperature caused him
to go to Phoenix , where , after n short stay ,
ho left for El Paso. Whllo there ho seemed
to grow weaker and last December cams
to Demlng. Ho says the cllmnto there agrees
with him belter than any place ho has yet
bo.ii. It was In Phoenix that tlio Inventor
had his llret mining experience , Shortly
after ho arrived there he was tackled by
some young men who claimed to have made
a great strike In gold proprty , and that
they wanted money for development. The
ere taken cut for assay showed well his
partner EUW to that part of It but In oper
ation the mine never cama near paying and
that hole In the ground cost him 11,000 ,
