GERS being killed, and FIVE taken prison
ers, including spapiard named Antonio
who was at the wheel, and was the first
to be knocked down. Four OF the pIrls-
oners were subsequently tried in London
and executed, but the life of Antonio was
saved by the testimony of Williams, who
said that Antonio was knocked senseless
before il could be determined whether
he was a mutineer. Antonio's brother,
however, was one of the mutineers, and
It il supposed he was killed by vii;
liams. Antonio swore vengeance, and.
the evidence is plain that he was one OF
assassins in the cabin Of the Merry. he
made an. unsuccessful attempt to assass
mate Williams at Buffalo few days ago,
and is represented to have threatened to
procure assistance for second attempt
The weakest point in the Registers &C
count is the finding Of letter written
by Antonio, on the floor Of the cabin OF
the Merry after the fight. In this letter
he informs some person who is addressed
as aFriend Munwa," that he has proculr-
ed a Spanish friend to assist him; that he
will cut Senior Williams's heart out and
eat it, etc,

The Sandusky Register Of Wednesday
gave a grapic account of terrific fight
with knives in the dark, on board the
schooner H. F. Merry, lying at the port
of sandusky. John H. Williams, first
mate of the schooner, went to bed about
11:3O Monday night, in little room off
the cabin, leaving the doors open. In
about two hours he was awakened by a
stinging sensation in his side, and by the
light of small lamp on the cabin table
saw man standing near him, and hold
ing in his hand huge knife, from which
blood was dripping. Williams immedi.
ately delivered the assassin terrible
blow, sending him reeling into the cabin.
Jumping up, Notwithstanding the wound
in his side, he seized large Chinese
knife-a weapon with curved blade and
poisoned point-and followed the assas-
Sin to the cabin, where he found that he
would have two antagonists. Compre-
hending his peril, Williams plunged his
knife to the hilt into the body of the
second assassin, but not with disabling
effect; for Immediately afterward there
was bloody hand.to-hand confiCt-two
against one. Williams had some advan-
tage, from the fact that at the outset Of
the struggle the lamp was knocked over
and extinguished, leaving the assasins
in danger of wounding each other in the
dark, while Williams could slash any
thing that came in his way, and be sure
Of striking an enemy.
The fight was most sanguinary one
all parties freely using knives and draw
ing blood in streams. Williams says at
one time, when hD had buried his knife in
one of his adversaries, he could hear the
bones crack and give way before the
steel. $ st n'I
Finally, while Williams was pressing
one Of the scoundrels close to the wall,
the other wrenched leg from the table
and striking him (Williams) on the ehead
knocked him senseless. The bloody pair
then escaped from the vessel, lTaving
CORY track behind them to g point where
they evidently embarked in small boat,
to pull out into the bay, On the deck Of
the schooner were several spots, indica-
ting that the men had spit blood. NJ
Williams was found next morning with
six terrible cuts on his person, but has
fair chance ofrecovery. He was able on
Tuesday to give a reporter an account Of
the encounter, and also an interebting bit
Of history. About one year ago he was
mate on the ship Eliza Everett, plying
between Baltimore and European ports.
A mutiny occurred on board the ship,
but 1t was overcome--6Ve Of the mutin-

AND EHERESHALL BENo NIGHT

1t seems probable that gas, as an illu-
minating agent, especially in public
buildings and streets, will be thing of
the past as much as stages, oil lamps and
candles now are. The utilization of cleo
tricity has been demonstrated, and it is
recommended by reason of its amazing
Illuminating power and comparative
Cheapness. Nearly all students Of chem
istry have seen experiments with carbon
points, and know that the difficulty in
obtaining continuous light has been
the want of some mechanical contrivance
for preserving the exact distance between
the points for any length Of time. This
has been obvlated partially by clock
work movement, which carries forward
the points as they are consumed.
The most important step, however, in
the progress of utilizing electricity has
been taken by Russian military officer,
M. Paul Jablochkoff, who has shown that
it is possible to subdivide the electrical
current heretofore employed to illumin'
ate single set Of carbon points,
and distribute 1t through building.
The invention by this officer was desert
bed in the London Times of May 4th,
and may be advantageously reproduced /:
"It consists of an electrical machine as
a primary producer, and from which a
wire is led to number Of points, -accor-
ding to the power of the machine--at
which the light is to be produced, the
wire being returned from the last light
in the series back to the machine, which
Is magnetic electric machine producing
alternating currents of positive and mega
tive electricity. AT each point where
the light is produced is what Mr.. Jab-
lochkoff terms an electric candle. This
consists of two strips of pencils of carbon
about four inches long, connected togeth-
or, but, at the same time insulated by a
strip OF white compound which the in
venter calls kaolin, that substance enter
ing largely into its composition, The
kaolin is fusible substance, which con-
sumes at the same rate as the carbon
points. The continuity of the wire from
the electric machine is broken at the bot
tom Of each of the electric candles, The
current of electricity passes up through
one carbon point, becomes utilized as
light at the top, and passes down the
other carbon point, and on through the
wire TO the next candle"
