SCENE AT o'coNNoR's S HOUSE.
After O'Connor's wounds were Dress
ed, he was conveyed to his home, cor
ner Of Ramsey street and Western ave-
nue., and here the scene was heartrend-
ing beyond description. His wife, who
is within short time of her confnc-
ment, did not know anything Of the
sad event until her husbands S mangled
body was brought into the house. She
did not at first realize the fact, but
when she did
HER CRIES AND GRoANs WERE AGoN1zlRG,
and it was some time before she could
be made to understand that the patient
could not bear any excitement what
ever. When she had been somewhat
quieted, O'Connor's sister, who had
just heard of the fearful tragedy, en-
tered the house, and her screams rang
out clear and wild, again exciting the
unfortunate wife to such degree that
DR.. Waite, the physician in attendance,
had to use force to get both of them out
of the room.
O'Connor died on the morning Of the
llth, and on the 18th his murderer
waived an examination, and was COM

The action of the Baltimore & Ohio

the trunk line combination Of railway

Probable Murder.

On the evening of the 18th, two men,
named Franklin B. Chase and Rufus
Hodgman, stopped at Desnoyer's Half
Way House between St. Paul and
Minneapolis and after drinking refused
to pay. An alteration ensued, result
ing in the bar keeper, Geo. Chattlin,
shooting Chase through the breast and
inflicting probably fatal wound. The.
following is Chattlin's statement, made
on the 18th inst:
Yesterday morning two men whom I
did not know came into Mr.. Desnoyer'ss
saloon and called for two drinks, which
I furnished them. They refused to
pay when asked them, and one Of
them said: "You son Of A., if you
want to know come out here and I will
show .you.'' I made no reply,
and they went away. After supper the
same men returned and called for.
drinks and cigars, which I furnished
They walked out without paying, and
Mr.. Desnoyer coming in I told him they
owed forty cenrs and refused to pay land
Mr.. Desnoyer told them they should
pay their bill, and one of them said,
enlarged it to Bill King and be ID
to you" Mr.. Desnoyer said they
could not have their horse until they
paid. He then went out to take hold
Of their horse, and I followed to see
what way the matter would
end. Both the men had
their coats of: They threat

house, and would kill every
who would interfere with them. Iran

glasses for fear they should throw them
at us. AS came from behind the bar
after putting the glasses away, one Of
the men struck me. knocked me down
and kicked me twice in the stomach. I
got up and got my revolver and shot
through the window to scare them;
when I did that the man whom I shot
took up chair and struck me on the:
head. I halloed "For Gods sake don't
kill me. I can't fight. I am

"You Son of a--I will kill you.''
Then he brought back the chair and
struck me over the left shoulder with
it, and raising it again struck me
again. The legs Of the chair were get
ting loose and I was afraid he would
strike me with one of them and kill
me and fred with my left hand; I
meant to strike the chair, not him and
I did not know what I was doing. I
put the chair away and returned. Idid

VESSELS on RoLLERs.-M. A.
lluet, French engineer, holds it
to be 4 mistake to make ships force
their hulk through the water,
meeting thereby the large oppo-
sing surface Of water and . sliding
friction over the whole of their
Immersed surface. This, NJ. Huet
.4oldS, is as great a mistake as if
we were to dismount our railway
carriages from their wheels and
drag them like sledges along the
rails. He puts forward the theory
that vessels should be mounted on
rolling drums; that these drums
should give principally the power
Of foatation, and that they should
be driven round as paddles to
move the ship forward. We should
in this way have y floating loco
motive: mounted on its supporting
wheels or rollers. The vessel
would offer no resistance but q
rolling one to motion, and the
whole Of the supported weight Of
the ship would be used as a pres
sare to give adhesive frictional eff
feet to the rollers. In this way
VI. uuct atfirms that q velocity
equal to that Of our railroad trains
might bc attained at sea.
