These combined systems are the only ones
that can economically furnish electric light
and power for general use in cities, for the
following reasons First, smaller engines and
boilers are used; second, one set of machinery
furnishes two separate and distinct systems
of lighting third, smaller wires or conductors
are needed; fourth, longer circuits are used
with no appreciable loss of current. Any
lighting system that furnishes incandescent
lights direct from the machine must neces-
sarily be too expensive. both in point of first
cost and running expenses, to justify the in
vestment Of capital, for the following reasons
Large electric machines are necessary, and
large engines and boilers have to be employed
to drive them-macbines requiring 100 horse
power, and even 1000 horsepower, would
have to be used-and these machines would
have to be kept running all the time, day
and night in order that parties using the
lights may have them whenever needed be-
cause electric lights have to be furnished in
cities as gas is now supplied-namely, that
you can light at any time you desire, whether
it be day or night.
Now, in order to do this the large engines
would have to be run all the time for the full
twenty-four hours every day in the year.
Out Of twenty-four hours there are but
three OF four in which the bulk of the lights
would be used-namely, in the evening.
During the balance of the time but very
few lights are required, and those only in
in bank vaults or easements Of stores yet,
the expense OF running the engines and

Death of Ex.Gov. Smith.

MILWAUKEE,, Fec. IA $40 @. m.-
At twenty minutes before II O'Clock
this evening, after a sickness of but
FIVE days, surrounded by friends and rel
atives, Hon. VIM. e. Smith, ex.-Gov. OF
Wisconsin, ,breathed his last. The illness
dated from Monday evening. When re-
turning from business he complained OF
severe pains in his chest, a high fever
and other symptom, OF an alarmin g
nature. During the evening he suf-
fered severe chill, gradually growing
worse, until morning, when DR.. Fox was
summoned, who pronounce ed the CON-
plant severe attack of pneumonia, or
acute infam nation Of the lungs. he Ess
found to be In condition which caused
the gr eatest alarm. and doubts were, at
once, entertained of his recovery. He
gradually grew worse, until
Friday, when the symptoms were
somewhat more favorable, and in a
measure, subside, 70 that the tempera-
ture was lower and the outlook for fay-e
orable result of the sickness was great
Iy improved. On Saturday evening and
Sunday, when again visited by the at
tending physician, he was again worse:
but on Monday q slight improvement
was noticeable Tuesday morning,
there was change for the worse, which
grew more marked. At 10 O'Clock yes
terday morning he was little
worse than when visited previous
ly by the physician, and
it became evident that he could
live but few hours, and the mem
bers of the family were according
" informed OF the near approach of
death. Fron this hour he gradually
failed until at 1O:40 last evening he
passed away.
During the greater part OF his illness
he was unconscious and delirious, and
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1883-02-16

did not recognize the friends who stood
about the bedside at the last sad mo-
ment. The only moment of con-
sciousness was about two O'Clock yes
serday afternoon, when addressed by
DR.. Fox, who inquired as to how he
felt, He replied: Very badly" At
10si0 he gradually sunk into ..stupor
and the pulse became fainter and
fainter, until the eyslids ceased to
quiver, and he was dead.
There were in the room where the
dying man lsy, his two sons, Ira B.
snd Grant A. Smith, DR.. Fox and The
two nurses. TIE other members ofthe
family, Mrs. Smith, wife of the de-
ceased, and Miss Ida Smith. his daush-
ter, were in adjoining apartments.
Death came without pain.
As yet no arrangements have been
made for the funeral. The matter has
not even been mentioned. When and
where the services will be held will
probably be decided to-day.

CuriOsities Welded.
CIRCUS MAGNETS MADE ONE.

New YORK, Feb. 12-At Frankfort, a
Philadelphia suburb, the winter resi-
dence of circus people and sideshow
curiosities. wedding Of unusual char
acter occurred last evening. r. r
Mofitt, tattooed man, and Miss Leo
Hernandez, the Spanish bearded la
dy," were united in the bonds of mat
rimony. A large number OF noted
freaks" as they are called IN the pro-
fession, witnessed the ceremony. The
bride has black beard three inches long
and the groom is as handsome q piece
of mosaic work as there Is in America.
Miss Leo is 26 years old, and her hus-
band has passed 40. His first wife was
the Russian Giantess," a OOpound
Venus, who died of dyspepsia IN 1880
Before the season ended Mofitt mar
ried "Cncassian Beauty" OF Milesian
extraction. She died last SUNNI er, and,
before the Barnum show concluded its
season, the tattooed widower was
madly in love with the Spanish
Bearded Lady" Although bearded,
she possessed the coyness of her sex,
and Mr.. Moffitt was compelled to use
all his eloquence to persuade her to
accept HIM. John Geary, tine
sword swallower, is the ep-fsther of
Miss Leo, and he gave her away. Miss
Leo wanted TO have her beard shaved
of in honor OF the occasion, but Mr..
Moffit, who is of practical turn of
mind, opposed it on the ground that
she might not be able to raise another
crop, In which event her value as .
curiosity" would be totally destroyed.
Mr.. and Mrs Moffit came to this city
on q wedding tour.

The Newhall Ruins.
REMOVAL OF roNs OF COAL.

MAMMAL Vt IONS Vt WAL
MLwAUKEE, Feb. 1S.--The coal in
the cellars under the pavement is being
hauled away from the Newhall ruins
to-day, for consumption elsewhere. A
large number Of tons of this fuel was
stored in the pavement cellars and it
was not in the least damaged. The
work of removing the debris has no.
yet been commenced. Steam and
nausesting vapors ascend from that
pslt OF the ruins about where the en-
trance stairway WAS located. Every
effort has been made to ex-
tinguish the smouldering fire under
the pile of rubbish, but the
steam issues from the fissures the same
as it did the day after the fire. The
huge fence around the ruins was erect
ed by Parks, the bin poster, who has
covered the boards with a grotesaue
negro minstrel performance on paper.
The plans for the new hotel are being
perfected, and win be completed in

faro dealer named William Donohue
and was shot and killed by him. Smith
and Donohue had played several games
of cards, aud the former claimed Il
certain per cent. of the winnings,
which the latter refu ed to allow.
Smith taunted DJnohue with bad faith
daring him to fight it out. Dunuhue
finally agreed to ii hit, if Smith would
put aside his uistol. Smith declined
to fight that way when Donchue said
Measure off ten PAGES here; I'll shoot
it out with you" Both drew pistols,
the hammer of Smiths weapon caught
NJ he pulled, and the weapon was fired,
the charge grazing his hip. Donoh ue
shot twice, both balls taking effect and
oae ball piorceing the heart of young
Smith, who fell dead in his tracks.
Donohue escaped, and nothing has yet
been heard Of him.

She partoos of little nourishment,
principally liquids, and could not speak
or move. Her pulse was regular, aid
the doctor judged she was tree from
pain. She was conscious, however,
and could indicate whenever she de-
sired any thing. For ryears she laid in
bed or recined in chair. Then she
regained her wonted health and
strength. Again, about 1880, she show.

the winter and gradually passed into y
state of lethargy. Sue lies perfectly
still and sleeps, the functions of the
body seeming to be naturally perform

made a study of the case, and it is
the only one of such y character he
has ever heard or read about. There
is nothing to indicate disease of the
brain, secretion is regular, and the
pulse normal. Her doctor attributes
this state of lethargy to the utter pros.

THE AWFUL DEED OF A BAND OF STROLL
ING GYPSIEs.
NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-Two weeks ago
a band of Hungarian gypsies, consist
ing of four men and two women, passed
through New Brunswick, N. j., on
their way west. They had with them
horses laden with csmp-kettles, and
one of the women carried puuy in
FAINT, only few days old, in bag
slung over her shoulder. The men ex-
hibited three trained bears, while the
women begged from door to door. On
being threatened with arrest they con-
tinued their journey. For several days
thew camped in the road in the vicinity
of Kingston, a few miles from the city.
There they nearly starved, but they
were assisted by some persons who
went to have their fortunes told. One
of these visitors, on his second trip to
the camp, noticed that the infant was
missing, and on inquiry he was told it
had died of pneumonia. An ilvestiga-
tion showed that Salina Margaleus, the
mother the dead child, after it's death, :
asked King Max, the chief of TIE comp,
for bright colored shawl in his pos,
session. He agreed to give it to her, it
is alleged, on condition that she would
allow her dead child to be fed to the
bears, which were becoming desperate
ly hungry, having had little or nothing
to eat for several days.
The mother consented, it is said, and
the remains of the child were cut in
small pieces and thrown to the raven
Gus brutes, which quickly devoured
them. The chief, it is further alleged,
fearing lest the affair should be discov-
cred through the presence of the bones,
took them into the woods, where they
were buried. The gypsies are still in
the vicinity of Kingston, and will prob
ably bo apprehended.
