BARBED WIRE.
Great Legal Victory of Interest to Farm
ers and Manufacturers.
IL ~. IT.. 1

A Great Legal Victory of Interest to Farm
ers and Manufacturers.
from the Chicago Tribune.1
An important decision to holders of patents
for barbed wire was given by Judge Gardner
in the case of the Chicago Galvanized Wire
Fence Company against the Washburn 4
Moen Manufacturing Company. After the
final decision by Judges Drummond and
Blodgett in the famous barbed-wire cases
settlements as is well known, were made
with all those who held any patents
for barbed wire or barbed-wire machines,
under which the patents were to be su rem
dered to the company, and the patentees
allowed to manufacture on paying certain
ROYALTY. The compliments agreement pro-
vided that the royalty to be paid under their
license was not to be greater than that
charged to any other party licensed after
the LIST of January, 1881, under the several
and if the Washburn & Moen
Company should license other par
ties to manufacture under such
patents at a less sum than three-quarte's of
a cent a pound th n heroyalty to be paid by
comp ainant should be coIrespondingly re-
duced. Jacob Hash, however, after vig-
orous fight, finally settled on far more favor
aOI6 terms, anu bU6 Cldlllldu luSI>GCO bildO hG
was EMIT ed to as good conditions as Hush
The latter was allowed to make 900 tons of
wire year without paying any royalty, and
1900 tons more at a royalty of only half
cent a pound
The Judge held that the chief object of
the settlement with Hash was the termina-
ton of the litigation with him; that the pur-
chase of his patents and the Stevens claim
was a secondary matter, and was used to
give the appearance of consideration to
what was in reality a license free of royalty
for the manufacture of 1000 tons yearly of
barbed-wire and of 1000 tons more at a less
rate by 25 cents a hundred pounds than to
the other licensees, and so areduction to Hash
to that extent, of which the compliments
had right to avail themselves under their
lease In SO far as the iainan5 sought
to secure any benefit on account OF the dam
ages for infringement agreed to be paid by
them, the Judge was not inclined to grant
any relief, as it was doubtful whether it
could be given under the BILL and the settle
ment with Hash in that regard was not a
violation of any agreement or understand
ing with the complainant.

OLD TRICK.

Last Thursday, two sharpers swindled
man by the name of Thos Cheswick out of
$50. The man was passenger on the G..
r. L. s. P, and became acquainted with a
stranger on the train who was going to
the same county in Nebraska to which
Cheswick was vending his way. They
spent the day together, and at Davenport
the second sharper made his appearance
ON the train, and informed his pal that
unless $15S was advanced on the goods
shipped to Nebraska, they would be stored
at Davenport. The first stranger regret
ted the fact that he had not that amount
of money about him, but was supplied with
government bonds The second stranger
refused to take the bond, and suggested
that, perhaps, the first strangers friend.
Mr. Cheswick, might help him out. The
latter had only $50 about him, but he Of
fered to advance this for his new made
acquaintance, The two sharpers, after
securing the money, left to arrange the
matter, and have failed to return. Ches
wick reported the facts to conductor, but
no trace of the swindlers was discovered.

COMPLICATED POOL.

The new agreement of the Northwestern
Traffic association, which has been formed
in Chicago within day or two, represents
the Milwaukee s. st. Paul, the Northwest
ern, and the Rock Island roads. There
will be four different freight combinations
to secure the maintenance of Northwestern
rates-the Northwestern Traffic associa-
ton, the Des Moines g. Central Iowa asso-
citation, the Moline. Rock Island s. Daven-
port association, and the Iowa pool.
The first three are not properly pools, but
are simply combinations for the purpose
of maintaining given rates. The last nam
ed is the pool system proper, as the gross
earnings both of freight and passenger
business are turned in. In former pool
of those companies each road was allowed
go per cent for operating expenses and the
remainder passed into the pool. The new
pool is a new arrangement

TOWER LOCATION.

All the towers composing the electric
light circuit have been located except
those designated to be placed on Fourth
and Seventh avenue. 1t is understood that
the former will be placed ON the German
Catholic church and the latter on Huber
brewery, although there is some objection
to such locations. 1t is held in case the
towers are blown down. The damage
caused thereby will have TO be made good
by the city, and in case of fire the electric
system will be destroyed. 1t is thought
best before the towers are placed on build
ings to have written agreement with the
owners, to be filed for future reference.

A STRANGE STORY.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Sept. 20.-A special
dispatch from Sharon, Pa, says: Eddie
Seaburn returned home this afternoon
Thirty days since his funeral sermon was
preached by Rev Mr.. McMasters at his
fathers house in this city. Eddie is about
16 years old and formerly worked in KIM
berly Il Cos. mill here About the begin
ming of the strike he disappeared from
home. Nine weeks later his father Samu
ell Seaburn, also workman at the mill
put an advertisement in paper setting
forth that the boy had been enticed away
by a one armed tramp, and asking infor-
nation of his whereabouts adding that he
could readily be inedtified by scar on his
forehead partly hidden by the way he wore
his hair. On Aug. 2 an account was
published of the return home of
a boy to his home in Bristol,
near Philadelphia. This boy had
strayed away. His father heard that boy
had been killed by the cars at Johnston,
had the remains eXhumed, identified them
as those of his son took them home to
Bristol and buried them. The boy sub
sequently returned home alive and well
Seeing the story in print. Mr.. Seaburn
wrote to Bristol, and finally went there on
Aug. II. He had the body disinterred and
identified it positively as that of his son
Eddie. 1t was much decomposed, the
features being entirely unacceptable, but
the scared mark on his arm where it had
been touched with hot iron in the mill, and
the scar on the head which had been made
by horses hoof, were to be seen quite
plainly. The teeth also were the same as
the Seaburn boy, the upper front teeth be
ing peculiar protruding ones and lower
tooth had small piece broken from it.
fof1z Ill H. L
knew his sons fate. The remains were
reinforced at Bristol. The name was
changed on the grave-stone, and Rev. Mr..
McMasters. of the United Presbyterians
here, held memorial services on Aug. 30.
This afternoon about 4 o'clock Eddie
Seaburn, as large as ife, but trifie
shabby from much travelling under diff
ficulties jumped off freight train here and
reached out his hand to the first boy &C
quaintance he knew, The boy stared at
him and ran off to the other boys yelling:
Here's Ed Seaburn that got killed by the
cars" a crowd of youngsters gathered
around him to the number of a hundred,
some arguing that there was something
crooked about this temperance. As the
the majority seemed to regard his resur-
rection as an outrage on their feelings, the
boy at last began to cry and said he
would 60 away again on the next train.
Meanwhile, one of the boys had run to tell
the news to the parents of the lost boy.
The father came pushing through the
crowd his eyes glistening as he caught
sight of his son. He could not be sure
until he caught the boy in his arms. Then
he almost lost his sense with Joy, and
danced about, hugging the prodigal to his
breast, until suddenly, remembering his
wife, he dragged him off home, and there
were soon two pairs of arms around him
instead of one. The boy explains that he was
wandering about from place to place till
he arrived at Sharon. But he is here, and
and the graye-stone in the Bristol church
yard will have to be marked Unknown"
again.

THE.LFCTURE

Only a small audience was gathered at
the United Presbyterian church last even
ing on the occasion of the lecture of Prof.
Mohanna Barakat on Egypt and the
Egyptians" The lecturer is native of
Damascus, is convert to Christianity, and
of late years has acted as professor in the
Presbyterian Mission school in Egypt. He
commenced his discourse by defining the
peculiarities of the political situation in his
native land, from which causes the late
war originated. He noted the efforts of
Arab Pasha to secure control of the gov
eminent He accused the Pasha of having
invited rebellion, and also of enticing the
natives to massacre the resident Christians.
The Pasha proclaimed himself prophet,
and in that manner gained the united sup
port of those opposed to the invasion. He
detailed the complications that arose
among the rival Pashas under the Khedive
previous to the Arab Pasha's rebellion.
When the outbreak became apparent, the
resident representatives of the English and
French government requested Arab to re-
sign, out this request was not granted, but
the insurgent leader continued in his eff
forts to overthrow the government. The
lecturer stated that when the English fleet
arrived off Alexandria for the avowed pur
pose of protecting the existing govern
ment, a second request was made
for Arab to withdraw his forces and a
complicated intrigue followed, wherein
Arab resigned and his officers demanded
his restoration. On assuming his position
threats of general Christian massacre
ensued. The Christians naturally flocked
to Alexandria on the arrival of the English
fleet The Khedive was powerless,
although the nominal ruler of the land. A
slight incident, as the refusal of Christian
to pay the excessive charge of native
driven for services rendered, caused the
excited moslems TO kill the Christians and

others of the same faith. This occurred
on the 18th of last June. The lecturer
gave vivid description of the scenes of
the massacre to which he was an eye wit
ness He also recited the facts in connec-
ton with his own experience, how he was
compelled to leave Alexandria on account
of his religion, and how the bombardment
of that place caused the destruction of his
earthly possessions His lecture was most
interesting, and deserved crowded house.

The match game of base ball last Friday
afternoon, between the Stars of this city
and the Boys in Blue of Moline, attracted
a large crowd of people, but did not prove
the interesting contest that was anticipated
would be the case. Several good plays
were made but the general playing was
poor, as is best testified by the large scores
of the respective contestants The Moline
team proved little too heavy for their
antagonists and won the game by score
of 20 TO Il. The individual scores are ap-

DOG TAX.

Since the first of last July, the police
have collected $445 from the owners of Ca

least 445 dogs in Rock Island whose own
ers think enough of them to pay for their
continued existence. 1t is greatly patent
that large number of ours are about with
out owners, and whose demise would not
cause general sorrow. The marshal viii

meeting, of the funds in his hands.
