ELECTRIC PowER ON THE NORTHERN
PACIFIc.-The new electric locomotive
and railroad patented by Edison is at
tracing considerable attention in the
East, and if it realizes half the antici-
pations of its projectors, will create Z
revolution in loO0mOti0n. In an inter
view with Star reporter in New York,
recently, Mr.. Edison explains the work
inRs of his experimental roads in Menl0
Park, New Jel sey. In the course Of the
interview Mr.. Edison said that his later
experiments were designed to demon
strate to Henry Willard the possibility
of opening up for cultivation the i'm
mense tracts of arabic land on the line
of the Northern Pacific Railroad, which
cannot be done, with economy, BY q
steam railroad. II the experiments are
successful Mr.. Edison said that the
company intends to build several hum
dred miles of railroad. Surveys have
also been made, he explained, for short
roads for pleasure and local traffic in
Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Long
Branch and other places. The process Of
supplying locomotives with motive
power is by means Of stations along the
road, ten miles apart, from which the
electricity is committed to the track and
thence to the locomotive.

A FALL OF 1O6 FKEr.-The young man,
w. S. Walters, who was killed by being
thrown from high bridge over Cheno-
werth creek, five miles below tho city,
while assisting in coupling freight
train, was we'll known to be q person Of
excellent habits and example, and was
respected for his reliable character. We
referred to the accident last week, the
news of which came to hand as We went
to press. Subsequently, We attended the
inquest upon the body. The jury found
that death vas produced by the crush
ing In Of tho skull, and q serious injury
to the spine and brain. The fall vas
undoubtedly accidental, as with flag
in ono hand he attempted to 90 along
side the train upon the bridge Rirders,
and was seen to raise the flag AZ il to
signal the engine driver to 60 on. when
he stumbled and went through the
bridge 70 the ground below, los feet,
striking the timbsrs ON his way down,
which must have caused death instant
ly. The train was backed UP, 80 that
the train men could 90 down to the
creek bottom, but the poor fellow was
dead. The body was brought to his
boarding house in this city and jury
called, who returned u verdict in accord
anoe with the facts.-IFascO Sun.

THE RArsN TRIAL.

The trial of Raten, who murdered James
Lansing, he1 been concluded in an emf.
nently proper way, and with commendable
speed. He was found guilty of murder in
the first degree, just one month and two
days after he committed the crime. The
Court and the jury have therefore done
their full duty, and it is to be hoped that
sentence and execution will not be delayed.
Sacramento has found two murderers
guilty within two weeks, and Sacramento
Court in the first of these cases has by
recurring to a commonsense Interpretation
OF the Code taken a position the general
adoption of which would unquestionably
relieve our criminal administration of a
great abuse. These two cases have gone
far to indicate that it is no longer safe for
the defense in murder cases to rely upon
the plea of insanity, when jury of any
intelligence is impaneled. That plea has
almost frustrated the purpose of the law fol-
the protection of human life in many parts
of the country, and it has loaded the Court
records with scandals, of which we regret
to be compelled to say that California has
had somewhat more than her share. We
hope, however, that the example set by a
Sacramento Court and Sacramento iuries
will not be lost upon the rest of the State,
butthatthese prompt judgments may stimu,
late other ooDimunities to convict and
to execute justice upon their criminals,
and to put an end to the sluggishness
which in SO many instances, and notably
In San Francisco, allows murderers to
crowd the County Jails, and to escape trial
sometimes for years together.

these latest murders as being the only ones
which have been committed during the
period of agitation and semi-anarchy which
has prevailed in Ireland for something like
two years. 1t is also to be regretted that
some of the American League organiza-
tions have manifested reluctance to ex.
press strong disapprobation of the recent
crimes, and that in New York the public
meeting which was held ostensibly to con-
denim the outrage, narrowly missed indors-
ing it, All such manifestations of covert
sympathy with the cowardly wretches who
have perpetrated and plotted the murders
OF course must tend to prevent the arrange
ment of any scheme of Cancellation, and
however much state of anarchy may be
preferred by those who no longer live
there, it cannot be doubted that the people
OF Ireland have the strongest reasons for
desiring peace and the restoration of law
and order

THE DUBLIN MURDERS.

1t appears quite probable now that the
murderers of Lord Cavendish and Mr..
Burke may escape justice. The Dublin
police seem to have lost their heads over
the case, and unless some of the persons
now in custody should prove to be impli-
Gated, the prospect of finding the criminals
is not bright. OF course the presumption
must be that they have been assisted and
concealed by their political friends, the
members of the assassination party calling
themselves the Irish Republican Brother
hood. Should the murderers escape, how.
ever, the fact will only be regarded as an
additional justification for the stringent
bill which has Just been introduced. 1t is
strange, by the way, that the Land League
leaders should speak, as Dillon did the
other day, of this assassination as though
it was the only one that stained the Irish
cause. 1t is strange because all the world
knows that scores of equally cowardly and
horrible assassinations have been commit
ted in that country during the past
two years, and since all the world knows,
moreover, that assassination has been o
faVorite recourse there for a very
long period. 1t is only few weeks since

THE KHEDIvE PLAYS TRIUMPH

The Khedive of Egypt appears to have
held cards in his hand which promise to
be too many for Arab Bey and his party.
He has replied to the threat of dethrone-
ment that if any steps are taken in that
direction he shall call the Bedouins into
Cairo. Now the Arab tribes are both nu.
merous and formidable. They are good
fighters moreover, and perhaps that is more
than can be said for the majority of the
regular Egyptian army. The Egyptisn
troops have never been distinguished for
their gallantry in modern times, aud both
in Abyssinia and the Soudan they have
been repeatedly beaten by mere savages.
1t is doubtful whether they could be made
to face the Bedouins at all, and still more
doubtful whether they could hold their
own against the sons of the desert. 1t is
evident that the Khedive has been in cor
respondence with the Arabs all the time,
and his bold declaration now shows that
he has not been frightened by the menaces
of Arab Bey. As France and England
are both preparing for intervention also, it
looks as though Arab and his party were
on the eve of collapse, and, if this is SO,
there will be no reason to regret the failure
of an experiment the success of which
would have brought no alienation of their
condition to the Egyptian people.

THE SPLIT IN PENNSYLVANIA.

We predicted from the first the failure
of the Cameronian methods of achieving
" harmony within the party" but the col
lapse Of the unholy alliance between the
machine" men and the office hunting
Independents has been even speedier than
we expected. The genuine Independents
repudiate the whole arrangement, and have
already declared their purpose to put an
other Republican ticket in the field. The
obvious fact that this plan will make the
present good Democratic year in Penn.
sylvania of course will not change the
determination of the men who have grown
tired of bearing The burden of the clan
Cameron. Their patience, which must
have been very great to start with, has at
last been exhausted, and now they are
bent upon redeeming the State from the
clutches of the interruptions politicians
who have trafficked upon it ever since the
close of the rebellion. With such indie
pendents the Camerons can make no terms,
for they want no offices. There is no
doubt that third ticket means a Demo.
cratic victory, but that outcome will be
welcomed by thousands of sound Republi.

of the Camerons and puts an end to their

Summer Elegance.


A collection of CHOICE WRAPS from the East

unknown in Sacramento, are extremely fashionable
in large Eastern cites-indeed, are already in favor
in San Francisco.
Briefly, they are kind of SHORT DOLMAN,
with semi-loose fitting back The materials are the
finest BLACK SURAHS, BROCADES AND
MOIRES, deliberately trimmed with lace and jet
work. The appearance is rich and elegant, and not
being lined the garments will be found especially
suitable tor warm weather. The grace and shapeli-
ness with which they are formed, well as the care
and pains taken in finishing them, are also matters
worthy of compliment. The true spirit Of such
merits, however, cannot be caught in words. We
can only note their presence, and let those who are
interested get correct idea by personal visit
