Portable Electricity.

One OF the most unpromising enter.
prises that man could attempt might
be supposed to be that of boxing UP a
lot of electricity and securing it for ship.
ment from one part of the world to
another. And yet the thing has actually
been done, and the feat marks very
important advantage gained in our deal
ings with this subtle fluid. On board
the steamship Labrador, of the French
line, which arrived at New York last
Friday, were several wooden cases about
the size of soap boxes full of electricity
The cases could be tapped by means of a
wire and the fluid drawn off. In fact,
lamp was lighted and kept burning for
sometime in this way, its supply
of electricity being drawn from
one of the boxes. Eight electric lights
used on board the steamer were
supplied from them. The apparatus by
which this storage is effected is the work
of NJ. Camille Alphonso Faure, French.
man, who invented it about a year ago.
1t consists of sheet of lead full of small
holes, coated on both sides with layer
of red lead. Against each face of red
lead is laid sheet of parchment, and
the plate thus prepared is covered with
cloth, all except one corner, which is
left exposed for the purpose of connect
ing it with metallic circuit. A number
of these plates are packed in a box, ar
ranged like voltaic piles, seven of
them being connected by a metal
strip at one end of the box to form
the positive pole, and the seven alternate
plates similarly arranged to form the
negative pole at the other end. Acidu-
lated water is then poured into the box,
and the machine is ready for use. One
of the merits claimed for the invention
is that it gives off current in a steady,
equable flow, which is reflected in the
even burning of the light fed by it. 1t
is said that electricity can be thus stored
and packed and become an article of
commerce. 1t can be supplied in quanti-
ties to suit, from a small stock to feed
lamp to a stock large enough to run
a railroad train. 1t is claimed that it can
be made easily available for propelling
street cars. In Paris a car containing
fifty persons was run with forty Faure
accumulators placed under the seats, and
those who are about to introduce it into
this country profess to be ready to con-
tract to run any number of cars eighteen
hours a day at cost of four dollars.
'"The uses to which portable electricity
can be put" remarks one of the promo
tors, "are endless; from lighting a stand
lamp, rocking a cradle or running
sewing machine to driving railway
train or Illuminating city"

VIRGINIA EPISCOPALIANS.
Bishop " hItlIe Firm In His Position

NORFOLK, May 19.-When the subject of
the division Of the diocese came up again
to-day in the Episcopal Council, Bishop
Whittle, after reviewing the history Of the
agitation Of the question and the action of
the last general convention in refusing It,
said he I'D hoped the matter would be
allowed to rest. He had been utterly sur
prised by the Introduction of the resolution
Yesterday. He had said nothing to indicate
that the laity desired such division, and
refused to entertain any motion whatever
having for its object the curtailing of his
rights as Bishop Of the diocese. When the
question was further urged by Hon. B.
JchusOn Barbour, ex-senator Withers and
others, the Bishop arose and said that he
didn't like to bullied, baited and driven into
corner. He would take all that had been
said to heart during the coming year, but
he declined to entertain any motion on the
subject now.

Tom LEES CHILDREN BAPTIZED. -
The two children of Tom Lee, China
man, by his Christian wife, Minnie Rose
Lee. were baptized in St. Augustine
Protestant Episcopal Church, New York,
Tuesday afternoon, with Protestant
Episcopal ceremonies. If Tom Lee
wore queue it was not visible, but that
he was well dressed and gentlemanly
Chinaman all could see. He wore a
handsome black frock coat, with trousers
and vest to match, and his general bear
ing was that of Deputy Sheriff assist
ing at an execution. Once, when the
water was sprinkled on the forehead of
his boy, sort of joyous chuckle seemed
to break from his lips, but when the
bystanders turned to smile upon him.
his brow was knit and his eyes were
devoid of speculation. Mrs. Minnie Rose
Lee, on the contrary, was sparkling with
happiness. She was becominglY dressed
in black silk, she was the mother of two
children whom the Rev. Arthur G. Kim
Der, the pastor, who oflciated. openly
pronounced as handsome as any he had
seen for a long time, and her husband
was man of weight and influence.

IMPRISONED IN MEXICO.
American Citizens Appealing In
Vain 10 an meFIcAn Minister.

Thomas Shilds, Philip Weber and John
Salm, Pittsburg (Pa.) glassolowers, who
went to Mexico last July on a contract, and
who were subsequently imprisoned there,
have arrived home from Vera Cruz. They
tell story of great suffering. Instead OF
being taken to place called Apip aschusco
they were taken to Apam, where they were
compelled to remain idle for five months,
while glass furnace was being erected.
After it was finished they went to work and
worked for a month, when they asked for a
settlement according to their New York
contract The Mexican firm, Euceso Alba
q Co., offered them 81 per day in Mexican
money, while their contract called for
$l3O per month, American coin. They
refused to settle on this basis, and
started for Vera Cruz. They were ar
rested and taken back on a groundless
charge of swiudling and breach of con-
tract. They were imprisoned in the Apam
jail for over three months. Fhey appealed
to Minister Morgan, but he did little or
nothing for them. They were finally released
through the aid and assistance of German
who spoke Spanish, and who wrote to the
Governor Of the State of Hidalgo, detailing
their statements. Their release followed
promptly. They went to Mexico penniless,
and they claim that Minister Morgan re-
fused to furnish them passage home until
they wrote letter generating him from
any blame In the matter. They wrote the
letter under protest, and were then for
warded to New York on steamer, deck
passage. They have copy of the letter in
their possession. Before leaving Mexico
they instituted suit against Enceso Alba &
Co. for false imprisonment, placing the
damages at ten thousand dollars each. The
case has already attracted attention In
Washington. The men are badly crippled
with rheumatism from being compelled to
sleep on an earth floor In the Mexican
prison.

THE MALLEY TRIAL.
The Case for the State Virtually
CIOseds

NEW HAVEN, May 19.-In the Malley trial
to-day an effort was made to introduce in
evidence the confession of Blanche Douglas
before the Coroner's jury. The court de-
clined to admit 1T, and counsel made no ar
gument or objection to the ruling.
Further testimony failed to elicit
any important additional facts, and shortly
before three O'Clock the court adjourned
until Tuesday. After the adjournment 1t was
said that the States case was substantially
closed. The defense has not yet really de-
cided whether it will put any witnesses on
the stand.
