burners will be set going.
After the visitors had witnessed the
effect of the illumination from the lamps
and from the outside of the houses, they
were permitted to enter several of the
private residences and judge of the utili-
ty of the new light for household pur-
poses. One gentleman had an electric
light in use in one of the sleeping rooms
of his house. He said that the only
fault he found with the light was that il
was too bright. Said he: ~ must either
| allow it to remain on full head or turn il
off entirely. There is no intermediate
point; but I presume Mr.. Edison will
make some small lamps that will give
| weak lights for sleeping rooms.
There was marked difference between
the light of the carbon-paper burners al
| Menlo Park and the intense dazzling
light given by the electric lamps which
have for some time past been used in
New York and other cities. The painful
| scintilation Of the latter, caused by the
innumerable sparks chasing each other
over metal instead of earbonized re-
tainer, is entirely avoided.
One of the peculiarities of the new
light is that it does not give out much
heat. In fact, at distance of two OF
three inches the warmth is scarcely per.
ceptible to the hand. 1t does away with
| all danger from fire, because the moment
the globe which encircles the light
breaks, the admission of air to the light
extinguishes it at once. Any number o.
electric burners can be used in small
room without vitiating the atmosphere
thus obviating the Inconvenience expe
rienced where many gas-burners are
used.
Mr.. Edison exhibited for the first time
publicly yesterday his newly-invented
meter for measuring the amount of elee
tricity used by each householder. Ht
explained that the principles upon which
it operated was the deposit of copper by
electricity, the amount of the metallic
deposit being in exact proportion as tt
the quantity of electricity passing
through the meter. Mr.. Edison claimed
that the electric meter was much more
accurate than an ordinary gas meter, ane
that by it neither the consumer or th'
company furnishing the lgnt Woulu "
placed at disadvantage.
In the office attached to Mr.. Edison
laboratory were three lights which hat
been kept constantly burning day ane
night Just one week. The carbon-pape
slips did not show the least deterioration
and to all appearances were good for al
almost indefinite length of tune.
The reporter talked with several of tn,
residents of Menlo Park last evening, ant

Iee GOrue al Newton. n. J.

An interesting ravine, in which natural
ice remains throughout the summer is at
tracing local interest at Newton, New Jer-
sey. 1t lies at tho foot of Blue Mountain,
is several hundred yards longGrom ten to
thirty feet deep, with caves and clefts in
the rocks, filled with ice. The shade at
the gorge is described as very dense, the
sun apparently never penetrating it. The
bottom of the gorge is covered with ice,
and the little caves and crevices are filled
with it. The parapet of the mountain,
like the Palisades of the Hudson, is very
nearly perpendicular, and rises about 400
feet above the ravine, through which
current of cold air sweeps constantly
The thermometeter, which registered in
the nineties in Newton, marked $50 at the
bottom of this gorge-too cold for one to
remain there any length of time. A few
feet from one end of the gorge spring of
the most delicious sparkling water bubbles
up. 1t tastes slightly of iron, and is very
satisfying to the thirst. The water in this
spring stands at 34o. Tue owner of the
farm on which the gorge is found, says
that it is much resorted to for ice, so that
by the middle of August but little remains
except in the caves and deeper holes.

A Swarm Of Bees Capture Car.


The Leavenworth Times says Recent
ly when the Chicago, Rock Island and Pa
ciGc train arrived it came in under cloud.
A large swarm of bees being attracted by
the cool location on the top Of the car
while near Beverly, Mo-, took deck passage
for sunny Kansas, and the fears of the con-
ductor and other men on the train of a
stnging rebuke prevented any attempt to
put the deadheads off. When the car ar
rived here Police Officer NJ Cart was APP
prised of the fact that he could take in a
number of prisoners if he would visit the
car. He went to investigate and finding the
bees snugly ensconced on their novel abid-
ing place, proceeded to effect their capture
by coaxing them into an empty keg. He
succeeded, after receiving numerous stings
in capturing the entire swarm, taking
more prisoners than he will have at one
time while he is on the force. He says the
family is getting along well at his home in
the north part Of the city.

A Sensible wife.

A curious case of fanaticism and relig-
ious persecution turned up the other day
in New York. A sensible English woman
some years ago married an Italian named
Tarautino, and they had two children
A few week ago Tarantino fell in with
tAe Salvation Army, was said to be convert
ed, and rented the house 81 Waverly
street With Rev J. E. Irvine, of the Sal
walton Army, and they called il an orphan
age. Tarantino became such an enthusiast
that he stoppd providing for his wife and
children, aud said he was satisfied with his
life ia the streets as amember of the Sal
vation Army. He told his wife to join.--
She wouldn't join and trot around New
York with them, so they denounced her as
an infidel and lunatic, aud threatened to
put her in an asylum. She disappeared
with her two children. Her husband and
Irvine described her to the police as run
away lunatic, but they found her only next
door. at No. 80, with a friend. Her hus-
band and Irvine again begged her to join
but she wouldn't and they told the District
Attorney that she was dangerous lunatic
That official referred them to the county
physician, who examined her thoroughly
and of course found her perfectly sane-
Then Tarantino and Irvine went to police
station and tried to get warrant for her
arrest on the ground of insanity, because,
Tarantino, said, she refused to live with
him or join the Salvation Army. The
magistrate asked him if that was the only
reason he had for wishing to place her in
an asylum, and be replied "After join
ed the praying band, Jesus told me that
must leave her and put her in the mad
house The magistrate ordered him out
of the court told Mrs. Tarantino to let
him know if her husband bothered her
again, and told the county physician to
investigate Tarantino's own insanity as
soon as possible

THE DEAD EMPRESS.

ST.. PETERSBURG, June 7.--Tbe funeral
OF the Empress will be solemnized next
Wednesday at Petropanlovet Fortress.
Following is an account Of her death: AT
four o'clock on the morning Of her demise
the doctor in attendance looked through
the open door OF her room, and thought
she was sleeping peacefully. AT hall-pasl
seven the servant, thinking it strange that
her Majesty had not rung for her, ven
tured into the room and found her dead.
Word was sent 10 the Duchess OF Edin.
burgh, who inhabited the Winter Palace
with her three brothers-Alexis, Serges
and Paul. They telegraphed immedi.
ately to the Emperor at Zarskoe Cello, and
who arrived at nine o'clock. The Ouch.
ess telegraphed To her husband in Eng.
land, and Cossacks were sent of at full
gallop to apprise all the members OF the
Imperial family. A rumor OF the death,
which 1t was proposed to keep secret until
its official announcement, was spread
throughout the city by the cook OF the
Empress, who went and countermanded
the provisions ordered for her. The frs
telegram sent by tho Emperor was
addressed to the Emperor OF Germany,
aud similar kilograms were sent TO Queen
Victoria, the Prince OF Wales and Lord
Granville.

ID keep the delegation as solid as possible.
While Joy was speaking watched the
Maine delegation; they must have suffer
ed agonies. Hale, although lean, pale
man, was as scarlet in the face as II he
was about to have an apoplectic ft. What
Joy failed to mangle was murdered by
Pixley, OF California. These two men oc.
cupied all the time allowed to Blaine.
Frye, OF Maine, came to the platform wi b
tears In his eyes and asked for just two
minutes to redeem Blaine's candidacy
from the imbecile efforts OF his supporters.
II was given on the motion Of Garfield,
the Chairman OF the Committee on Rules,
who was the first to suggest the abroga-
ton OF the ten.minute rule he had cham.
pioned. Frye's effort was dramatic and
effective, and did much TO destroy the bad
effects produced by those who had pre-
ceded him.
But the event OF the session, and OF all
the sessions Of the convention, was Conk-
ling's speech on Grant. Never in the his
tory OF American politics has there been
such scene as was provoked by the ef-
fort OF Roscoe Conkling. The "greatest
effort OF his life," that has been so long
advertised, was at last delivered TO such
an audience as the voice OF man seldom
ever addressed before. Every word, posi-
ton and situation was thrilling and dra-
matte, from the first 10 the close. When
New York was called for the presentation
OF candidate, the well.known figure OF
Conkliug stood proudly erect in the mid
die aisle. A shout went up from the vast
assemblage, and a. dozen stately strides
carried the hero OF the moment to the
stage-not from where the others had
spoken, on the Presidents stand, but TO
the press stand. Hesitating q moment, he
mounted table OF the Chicago Tribune re-
porters, and proudly surveyed his audience.
This selection OF the spot from which to
present Grants name was proud def
ance OF the Chicago Tribune, being among
the most vigorous and unrelentiug In It's
war on a third term. For five minutes
the roar OF human voices shook the house,
and the storm subSided as Conkling held
the palms OF his soft, effeminate hands
upliited to the audience. The opening
sentence OF his speech was as majestic as
the occasion was great. Every sentence
was a piece Of polished marble in the
structure OF tribute and praise he erected
to his favorite; he dropped his patronizing
air and condescenuing mannerj the aztec.
tation OF voice disappeared; his voice was
vigorous and full OF volume, his body
seemed sweolen with emotion; his eyes
rolled and at times the lids were distended.
when denouncing the slanderers Of Grant,
until the whites were visible all around
the pupils. Every gesture was suited to
the emotion Of his speech; now graceful
wave OF the hand, aud anon a sweep
through the air with clenohed fist gave
emphasis 10 his words.

who has had much notoriety from con-
nection with the election frauds in 1875,
and who has been several times since
threatened with assassination, was shot
Tonight while on the corner Of Fourth
and Race streets. Circumstances indicate
that this attack was not instiga'ed by
political enemies. Holland met Marshall
Wooding, gambler, who asked
him If he had obeyed the Mayors
order to close his gambling house.
Holland said he had. Wooding cursed
him and Holland turned as If TO resent 1t.
Wooding says Holland drew weapon and
he had to shoot in self defense. The ball
struck Holland in the upper part Of the
leg near the groin. The physicians have
not been able to extract the ball and can:
not the wound is dangerous or not. Wood.
Ing, who says he is from Danville, Va,
