ELECTRIC LIGhTE.
EdisOR's PIan for Storing Light
ming.

Major f. atom. the President OF the
Edison Light Company, was asked
what bis Company thought OF the plan
proposed by the Brush Company to use
storage batteries ia connection with an
arc-light current. "fhe public, SAID
Major Eaton, "do not distinguish Dc
tween different Systems OF ilRhtlng'
Tue Edison system was invented 70
supplant gas for domestic lighting, ana
" Az made absolutely aafe 80 as 10 De
free from danger in houses. For that
purpose Mr.. Edison adopted low
pressure current and carries it under
ground.
The Brush and other arc light sys
tens were developed for different
purpose, principally that of street
lighting. Tbeyuse currents OF high PREF
sure and carry them over aerial wiroS'
1t is now proposed to Introduce these
high pressure currents into houses u
feed storage batteries. This high-pres,,
sure current used by the arc lights and
nronOsed to be used in houses t0r
storage batteries has a pressure OF z, ,oOo
volts, which means instant death 10
auy ane who touches tbs wires. The
Edison current has pressure OF only
100 volts, about One-twentleth OF the
arc light and storage battery current
and the Edison wires can be hanuieu
with entire safety Ike wood, ana give
no shock whatever.
We believe that no current should bt
introduced into house which is strong
enough 10 kill, and M. Edison has per
tecleG his system accordingly. we
shall be sorry to 500 the death Curren'
of the arC-light circuit used to supply
storage batteries iu houses, because che
danger and deaths sure TO follow vii
ipiure all systems Of electric lightlnt
a for domestic purposes, especially ou
, own. The public will not drlscrlml
nate. They do not know that electrl
currents differ in intensity and danger
> So long as the death currents OF To
, arc.Nghts are used only for street llgh'
+ ing, the danger of death is limited t
y the workmen of the arc light compan
+ and to tiremen in case OF fires.
a But when this death current 10 carrie

n further than the storage battefy,an GIG

THE fact that Conkling has drawn q
prize in the 'lottery of assassination" is
not matter of surprise 1t has been
current report and belief from the time
of Arthur's accession to the Presidency,
that Conkling would be provided for,
and the only occasion for surprise is that
Arthur did not call him to the cabinet
instead of placing him upon the bench.
While it may be decidedly bad taste
for Mr. Conkling to profit by the murder
of the lamented Garfield, it is in accord
with the policy which has marked this
administration. The faction which Gen.
Garfield represented is being ignored, ut
terly, End Conkling constitutes part of
the new deal. If Mr.. Conkling accepts
the position, as he undoubtedly will,
1T indicates that he will retire from
active political life. This will prove
a measure of harmony for the Republican
party, which will more than offset any
opposition which may be offered to the
appointment.

RUSSIA.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 24.-The Panslavists
here and at Moscow are arranging grand re-
ception for Gen. Sko5eloff. All Nihilists on
The courts sat till midnight. No political
trial in Russia has been managed with such
secrecy, severity and disregard to ordinary
usages of legal procedure, as the one in pro-
gress new. The president of the court in sist-
ed the prisoners should be tried separately, or
in groups, according to their crimes. They
are forbidden to speak Or write to each other
while together in the dock. At first commu-
nication between the prisoners and counsel
was forbidden. Even the public prosecutor
protested against this decision which was ul-
timately withdrawn.
Moscow, Feb. 24.-The telegraph says moth

BERLIN, Feb. PA st. Petersburg dispatch
says: At the trial of nihffists to day the woman
TOrenteva, on being asked to acknowledge her
connection with the robbery Of the treasury at
Chessor, refused to give any Information, ami
the court might accuse her Of anything it
pleased. Each prisoner is examined separ
ately. The evidence against many of them
appears very slender. Merktloff testified
against several of his fellow prisoners, appar-
emily with the object of excaping sentence of
death.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb. 4.-In the trial here
to-day Isnerff declared he prepared the dyna-
mite which was used in the mine at
the Winter palace, but says that
he did not know for what purpose
it was intended. He was not connected with
the mine under the stone bridge. Merkelotf
said a corps of bomb throwers was organ
lied in connection with the latter mine, inclu-
ding Mchtloff, Baranickoff and Stetichof.
EmlianOff made important disclosures declar-
ing all statements of deceased Golienburg
were untred, and that Melikoff when at the
head of affairs was in direct communication
with nihilists through a body. Hereupon
minister of justice ordered a protocol to be
drawn up on this important point.

1T now turns out that Boss Kelly out
generated all the politicians. Owing to
his distrust of Tllden and his friends he
determined to make Tammany an indie
pendent political organization; and in
order to show that Mr.. Tilden and his
friends were willing to accept the assist
ance of Tammany he Joined them in
electing Patterson speaker of the assemb-
ly. He then showed that the Republi
cans were not above receiving aid from
Tammany by joining them in organizing
the Senate. Mr.. Tilden cannot say that
he would have nothing to do with Tam

The Henmepin Canal.

WASHINGTON, Feb PA. B. Miller, chair
man of the committee on canal transportation
of the New York board of trade and transport
tation, appeared before the house committees
on railroads and canals late this afternoon,
a special meeting being had for the purpose
and made an argument in advocacy OF The con-
struction of the Hennepin canal After re-
viewing the various canal Ioutes throughout
the United States, and detailing the great
advantages which commerce derives there
from, Mr.. Miller concluded as
follows: AS chairman of The committee on
canals of the New York board of trade and
TRANSFORMATION, have the honor of appearing
before you as the committee on railways and
canals to advocate the Hennepin canal con-
Meeting the great lakes with the Mississippi
river at maximum cost, estimated by United

privilege to be derived by the country through
the construction of this comparatively short
canal also the small expen diture, is SO fully
set forth in the pamphlet and accompanying
map prepared by the Illinois and Mississippi
river and canal improvement commits
sion. that it would be work of
supererogation On my part to further occupy
your time. will simply say the subject has
been before the board l represent several
wears, and has received its careful considera-
ton and unqualified endorsement. The board
considers the work entirely national in char
acter and in no sense local, and that the gov
eminent, in emulating the spirit that charac
terized the state of New York in connecting
the waters of the Atlantic ocean with the
great western lakes, should, in the interests of
the commerce of the republic, continue the
extension by uniting the waters of Lake Mich
igan with the Mississippi river, thereby giving
continuous water navigation from the Allan
tic ocean through the numerous tributaries of
that father of rivers to almost every state of
the union.

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.

A Little Illinois Town Greatly Excited
Over Family Episode With Pistol
Practice Accompaniment.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 24.-Quite sensational af-
fair occurred at the little town of Bushnell,
Ills, Wednesday night, which created great
excitement among the denzens of the place.
As the train from the west approached the
station, A. J. Bradfeld shot Chas. F. Scott,
who was in company with his (Bradfeld's)
wife. All had come from Kan sas City on the
same train, but Scott and Mrs. Bradfeld did
not know that Bradfield was on board until
the assault was made. Scott received four
shots, but will recover. Bradfield accuses
Scott with being too intimate with his wife,
and shot him to avenge the wrongs he had
received. Mrs. Bradfield denies the intimacy.
Scott was member of the firm of Scott &
Griffith, druggists of Kansas City, which sus-
pended two months ago, and Bradfield travel

DEATH-RED CONFESSION.
Unravsifng the Mystery Surrounding a
Horrible Crime in Kentucky.

Horrible Crime in kentucky.
HARTFORD, KY, Feb. 24.-The Herald of
to-day says: An outrage too horrible almos
to call to mind, happened near Coneyville jan
uary %, 1881, by which Wiley Embry and six
children were burned to death. We have just
learned that a death bed confession has
brought out the perpetrators. DIR. James N.
Brandon, of Coneyville, on his death-bed con-
fessed that he and John Whittinghill and Bill
Taylor Whittinghill, sons of Remus Whit
tlnghill, did the deed. Brandon said that they
took syringe and threw chloroform through
the KEY holes into the different rooms and
waited till it caused deep sleep, then went
in and robbed the house, getting 81 600 in
money. They then set the house on fire in
several places and ran off. Mrs. Embry and
three children escaped from the fire, and
Embry and six children, including three sons
almost grown, persisted in the flames. The
parties have been suspected for some time.
Bill Taylor Whittinghill's wife took 800
bill to Moore's store to get 1t changed, and as
Whittinghill was known to be short of money
it excited suspicion. Brandon married sister
of Whittingh1l, and now that Brandon is dead
the WhittingKills have fled. This is the in
formation as received. It may not be exactly
correct in detail, but in substance is. A
number of Brandon's friends deny that he
made any such confession.
