ALBUQUERQUE, February 1.-THE follow
ingcam out in the Albuquerque Journal
this morning: There has been party Of
of three, headed by Frank Lewis, lat Cranes,
1876 miles west of here, who have been
prying for some time past upon
the tender-teet and others, and steal
ing and robbing from all who
came within their reach. Last night they
held several persons up and not only rob
bed them Of their valuables, but used them
in most brutal manner. They shot
Charles Herrick in the head, intllctlng
slight scalp wound, besides beating him
with q siX-shooter. They secured from
three victims $50, one Of whom saved $500
from the grasp Of the ighwaymen
by throwing his pocket-Dook away.
This morning the citizens OF the
little town organized in force, under the
leadership of Deputy-Sheriii Jones, and
started to arrest the robbers, who have their
HEADQUARTERS in a Lighthouse, formerly occu-
pied as pest-house for smallpox patients.
Jones and his party walked boldly up othe
robbers rendezvous, and demanded Their
surrender The, demand was answered by
II volley of shots from the outlaws.
Conrad Krease, one of the attacking
party, and one of the victims of
the robbers last night, was killed. The
men in the house, after the first fire, came
out from their shelter, and with unearthly
wells and firing their reyolyers into the
attacking party, attempted to make their
escape. Three shots were returned. Every
man of the outlaws was shot
dead. James Lynch fell first,
and IL young fellow about eighteen
or nineteen years of age, known as The
Kid, :" fell before he had gone dozen steps.
Lewis got a good start and ran about forty
rods before he was brought down by Il shot.
Deputy Sheriff Jones was shot in the neck,
and j. A. Fenshaw, one OF his assistants,
in the cheek and in the thigh. They
were promptly sent to Fort Wingal, on a
special train, for treatment. Jones is now
expected to live, although it is barely pos
sible that he will pull through. Frank
Lewis. the leader of the robbers, formerly
run ,lance-hall in Albuquerque, and his
brother killed Mexican last summer, in
row at the hall. His mother
keeps a boarding house in this city, and
will have his remains buried here.
There are more ofthe gang at large, in and
about Crane. and they will be captured rs
soon as possible. If caught alive they will
be lynched. The tragedy Of yesterday has
put the citizens of Crane on the alert, and
The town will be cleared of all black-legs.

The Sand Blast.

Among the wonderful and useful in
ventions of the times is the sand blast.
Suppose you desire a piece of marble
for a gravestone; you cover the stone
with a sheet of wax no thicker than q
wafer; then you cut in the wax the
name. date, etc, leaving the marble
exposed. Now pass it under the blast
and the sand will cut it away. Re-
move the wax and you have the cut let
tiers. Take piece of fine French plate
glass, say two by six feet, cover it with
a piece of fine lace and pass it under
the blast, and not n thread of the lace
will be injured, but the sand will cut
deep into the glass wherever it is not
covered by the lace. Now remove the
lace and you have delicate and beau
tiful figure raised on the glass. In this
way beautiful figures of all kinds are
cut in glass and at q small expense.
The workmen can hold their hands un-
der the blast without harm, even when
it is rapidly cutting away the hardest
cutting glass, iron or stone, but they
must look out for finger nails, for they
will be whitfield off right hastily. II
they put on steel thimbles to protect
the nails it will do but little good, for
the sand will soon whittlo them away;
but if they wrap piece of soft cotton
around them they are safe. You will
at once see the philosophy of it. The
sand whittles away and destroys
any hard substance-even glass--but
does not affect substances that are soft
and yielding. like wax, cotton, fine lace
or even the human hand.-Journai of
Science.

Welding Nickel With Iron.

The great value of nickel as coating
for iron has led to experiments to see if
it could DO applied to the surface of
sheet and wire iron by some mechanical
means, in place of the usual electro
plating process. The experiments ap-
pear to be so far successful that both
nickel and cobalt have been welded to
iron, and the united metals have been
afterward stamped and rolled into vari-
Gus shapes, such as plates, kettles and
kitchen utensils, and drawn into wire
having an iron core covered by nickel
or cobalt skin. Alloys of nickel also
have been made, and these alloys have
been used to weld with iron. Cobalt
alloycd with zinc also has been welded
to iron. In all these experiments it ap-
pears to be essential that, during the
welding under the hammer or rolls, the
air must be excluded. This has been
done by wrapping the iron and nickel.
before welding, in thin sheets of iron.
The iron skin was welded on at the same
time, but was removed afterward by dis
solving the outer skin of iron in acids, the
nickel surface under it not being af-
fected by the acids. Another method
used to exclude the mir during welding
is to heat the iron and nickel in an at
mosphere of carbonic oxide or carbu-
reted hydrogen. 1t was also found that
pure nickel could be welded over core
composed of an alloy of nickel and cop
per. The experiments were conducted
by DIR. Theodor Fleilmann, of Iserlohn,
Germany, and are regarded as opening
q wide field for commercial enterprise
in the manufacture of nickel-plated
stamped ware and nickel-covered wire.

A Novel Surgical Job.

ASdelicate and novel operation was
performed at the hospital this morning
on John Farrell. Eleven years ago
Farrell. who came to Troy from Omaha,
swallowed two false teeth and the rub
ber plate attached. A number of at
tempts have since been made to force
the plate into the abdomen. These Op-
erations were unsuccessful, but served
to lodge the substance in the lower part
of the gullet. Aside from the suffering
Farrell has for long time been unable
to partake of other than liquid food.
This mornings operation for the re-
moval of the plate consisted in making
an incision in the neck behind the ear,
dissecting the windpipe by an opening
of about three inches. and another in.
cision in the gullet. The following sur
geons participated in the operation:
Doctors Mclean, Nichols, Cooper,
Hutchison and Mason, of this city; Van
Vranken. of West Troy; Moore, Of Co.
hoes, and OConnor and Herrick, resi-
dent physicians at the hospital. The
patient was administered narcotic be-
fore the painful operation. The opera
ton was entirely successful. The plate
was removed with the teeth intact

There is yet great want in connec-
tion with cOuntry-hOuses which per-
haps some ingenious inventor might
supply if the matter was laid before
him, and we thought we might try to
do so.
Every one has plants and flowers
they wish to keep through the winter,
and at this season every nook and cor
ner from cellar to garret is searched for
some frost-prOof place to keep them in
If we could only keep them in some
nice light and warm spot where they
might grow on and blossom, how much
our home pleasures would be increased!
Room-culture is very often a failure
near our large cities, either from the
fumes of burning gas, from heaters, or
perhaps from both. To grow plants
we will have to cut them off from gas
lighted rooms, and of course we sepa-
rate them from the warmed atmosphere
also. They want sOme place quite by
themselves to do well.
Now, our piazzas are little used in
winter. They are chiefly to ward off
the summers sun. If we could aflix
temporary sash to them and fill the
space with plants, we should have an
exceedingly enjoyable winter scene.
The sash. indeed, can be so fixed, but
tho trouble comes in with the heating
arrangements. Nothing has been in
vented that is simple enough. We have
asked some of the best florists for their
views. and all suggestions seem to be
these: One says place small 'water-
back" behind the kitchen range and
connect the conservatory with it by hot
water pipes. Another would have SIM
ply heat-flue from the regular furnace
in the cellar. Another thinks a COM
mon stove, with care to keep out, or
rather in. dust and gas, would answer
in small places. We have known all
these plans to be tried and all have
proved failures. The gas and dust from
q common stove will not stay in, as a
friend who depended on it last year
found to his sorrow, as his plants be-
fore spring were worse than in former
years when they were housed In cellar.
Arrangements from the heater or
'water-back" fail generally because we
have to keep up good fire to heat the
distant part, which the piazza general
ly is. when we do not generally keep
up so heavy fire in the heater in the
nighttime. 1t Is in the cold nights
when our plants need the most heat,
and there is no saving in keeping 4
roaring fire, enough for a large man
sion. merely to accOmodate few dozen
plants None of these plants are cheap
enough for the million; yet if some
cheap and portable plan for heating such
places could be invented, there is little
doubt but the million would patronize

Captain Bucknill, r. E., on the applf-
cation of Neutrality-suspicious. to build
ings and magazines. The lecturer. who
has been employed in testing and in
specting a number Of government con-

the following among other points: a.
The necessity of using continuous con.
ductors with the smallest possibls num-
Der of joints, and these joints carefully
soldered. (2.) The advantage OF multi.
pie points. (S.) The necessity Of u1ing
larger earth connections than i now
usual, and of making some Of them deep
and some shallow. a. The sdvan-
tages of iron over copper conductors.
o. The unreliability Of theSo.cal led
safe circle advocated by some electri-
clans. CO., The advisahility Of pro-
viding horizontal collecting conduc-
tor near the ground to connect the'va-
rious earths with the conductors, rain
water pipes, etc. 7.) Tho need OF
periodical inspection and Of testing the
conductors electrically when they are
properly put up. The lecturer exhibit
ed an apparatus for testing conductors.
as well as samples of both copper and
wire ropes. For general purposes he
recommended an iron-wire rope six
pounds to the yard. and three pounds
per yard when it was carried, over the
house to two s'earths''l on opposite
sides. The equivalent ropes In copper
would weigh one and q half pounds re-
