ANOTHER CONNECTICUT PASTOR IN
TEoyBLE-INDECENT PICTURES AND
EPIsTLEs SENT TO YOUNG LADIES
ONE OF HIS VICTIMS BECOMES IN
SANE,
HARTFORD, Conn.,, Jan. 22.-Rev.
Mr.. Page, a clergyman Of the Methodist
denomin alton, residing in South Glas-
tonbury, was arraigned before United
States commissioner Marvin, in this
citv, on charge of a verv grave and
remarkable Characteristic sending of
obscene pictures and letters through
United States mails. Two letters, ad-
dressed TO young woman residing In
an adjacent town of East Hampton,
were Intercepted, and are in the hands
OF the authorities. One of them con-
talns a picture grossly indecent, and
Sc eral lines alike descriptive and sug-
gessive of sexual intercourse. The
hearing was temporarily postponed. 1t
is understood that the accused, finding
the evidence of bis guilt too plain to be
disputed, will plead guilty, and urge in
extenuation Of his offence, his intimate
relation and infatuation with the young
woman. Her relatives deny that there
hls been any criminal intimacy, and are
a. loss to understand her attachment
for Page, who is 65 years old, and by no
means prepossessing in appearance nor
captivating in manners.
He is spare built and angular, with a
coarse, sensual face, bushy hair, and
thick, overhanging eyebrows. His wife
accompanied him to-day, and, it is said,
is inclined to overlook his offences un-
der the belief that it is a mere case of
infatuation. The expose of his inti-
macy occurred month ago, aad his ar
rest yesterday followed close upon his
release from Jail in this county, under
sentence for lascivious carriage. The
young woman went insane over the
matter, and is now in the asylum.

THE NEW YORK ELECTRICIAN DE-
oLAREs THAT HE HAS CAUSED IHE
WITHDRAWAL OF EDIsoN's PATENT
FOR THE HORSESHOE LAMP.
The New York Euening Telegram pub
lished long special from Paris, in which
was reported interviews with various
French scientists in regard to the Edi-
son lamp. Several Of those spoken to
expressed themselves as hopeful of the
success of the experiments. M. Brege-
net and Mr.. Crookes, however, were not
favorably impressed, and the latter ex-
pressed the opinion that the horseshoe of
incandescent carbon In vacuum could
not be made practically useful Then
the correspondent sought NJ. Fontaine, a
prominent electrician, and from him OBJ
tained very favorable opinion. In re-
gard to these interviews, Mr.. W. E.Saw-
yer, the New York electrician, publishes
the following letter in the New York
Herald:
Ihave just had read to me the article
in the Erening Telegram telegraphed
from Paris. very much regret that a
mishap has temporarily incapacitated
Inc or would be able to meet in detail
some of the points raised, said to be in
favor of Mr.. Edison's horseshoe lamp.
Count Dumoncel is higher authority
on electricity than any other member Of
the French Academy of Science. No
one cares whether he is or is not MEM
Der of that body. His words speak for
themselves. Even the telephone and the
phonograph were thought of here or
elsewhere. Only too glad would his au-
thority be accepted by the Edison fac
tion were he in accord with them. II l
could see to read would quote you
from his works enough to confound his
detractors. Have any of his foreigR
critics ever produced anything, even
vacancies at their clubs, when they have
stepped out? Count Dumoncel and the
American inventor, Hughes,a are as much
the superior of MIR. Edison as Mr. Edison
is the superior of the workmen around
him.
Does DIR. Crookes say anything In ia
vor of the horseshoe lampP If he does
why does the Telegram correspondent
take SO much pains to get Mr.. Fontaine
to contradict him? Mr.. Fontaine's works
at my hand supply all the arguments l
need to use, but unfortunately cannot
read. When l recover from this stroke
| you will hear from me ON the subject.
If there is anything in the horseshoe
lamp, however, who does 1t belong to?
The carbonized pasteboard is Mr.. Mann's
invention; the horseshoe is my own Our
joint application caused the withdrawal
of Mr.. Edison's patent two weeks ago.
On Monday last we filed the last re-
naming thing belonging to the Edison
lamp-the glass bulb with the wires
sealed in one end and the upper tube for
exhausting the air, sealed afterwards
the identical or one of the identical
bulbs blown in 1878, in March of thai
year.

MORE ABOUT THE NEW 'BRIGADIER
FROM MISSISSIPPI.
Representative Money, of Mississippi,
thus spoke Of Senator-elect George TO a
reporter yesterday:
''Colonel George came to Mississippi
from Georgia with his father, when
boy ten or twelve years old. His father
settled In the county where my grand
father was one OF the ear lest pioneers.
His people we're poor, and he worked
hard upon the farm summers and drove
cotton wagons winters. But he manag-
ed to get himself an education, and to
become one of the best read men in his
tory and belles-lettres in the South.
When the Mexican war broke out he
was only nineteen years old. He vol
unteered in JEFF Davis regiment, and
made a gallant soldier. After he was
mustered out he married and began to
Practice law and rear family, which
increased rapidly until 1t numbered five
girls and four boys.
eater the late war he became known
as one of the best lawyers in the State.
He compiled five volumes of our State
Reports. He enlisted In the Coufeder-
ate service soon after hostilities began,
and commanded a regiment of cavalry.
While campaigning In Tennessee be
charged Federal redoubt at the head
Of bis men, and riding his horse clean
over the. .breastworks, fell into the hands
of the enemy. and was kept prisoner
for long time. During the political
campaigns of 1875 und 1876 he was
chairman Of our State Committee, and
when Boutwell's Committee came down
to investigate us they got hold of his
kilograms, but found them as clean as
Sunday school letters. He was chosen
to the Supreme bench subsequently, and
was elected Chief Justice by his as
sociates, although the youngest in ser
vice.
"When Lamar was up for reelection
TO the Senate, George was the favorite
Of the people, but he refused to be q
candidate. He said that Lamars de-
feat would be reflection on his con-
servative course in Congress, and that II
necessary to secure his return he would
lay aside his rule not ito mingle IN poll
tics and work in his behalf. He was
not candidate this time. With many
others pressed him to let his name 90
before the Legsla' ure at the beginning
Of the cannass, but he declined, saying
there were many men in the State bet
ter adapted for the Senate. After near
ly forty ballots his name was introduc-
ed, and his nomination speedily fol
lowed.
"He is one Of the biggest men in this
country, physically, intellectually, and
m )rally. He is Liberal Conservative
