Important Point for scl,e,ler.

MILWAUKEE, Special Telegram, April 10
A very important point for the defense in the
Schel.er trial was brought out in the testimony
of William Linnehan, the engineer. to-day.
Iinnehan had with him a carefully drawn plan
of the easement of the hotel, and when asked
whore the fire started he pointed on the paper
to where a gas jet was marked and said:
''There's where it started" The point indi-
Gated by Linnehan is the same agreed upon as
the place where the fire started, but 1t has
never been known before that there was a gas
jeu there, which was kept lighted constantly.
The burner was in the base of the elevator
shaft, and the theory Of the defense is
that the gas escaped from some defect in the
pipe and was fred by the jet. William San
derson and Thomas Dunbar testified to meeting
accused in Newcomers gambling house,
close by the fated Newhail, at3 O'Clock on the
morning of the fire. Scheller sat in q game of
poker, but the attendant made him cash in his
chips, on the ground that he was too drunk.
Sandeison, Dunbar and Schellcr happened to
leave at the same Tune, and Scheller asked tho
others to go TO his saloon and take a bottle of
WINE, which they did. He was next seen ct the
fire by numerous parties. The prosecution
showed pretty concInsively that the elevator
shaft was clean and the basement contained no
material to furnish spontaneous combustion.

Yesterday William Pritchard. known as Bad
Bill, was shot and killed near Bakersville. N.
years has been operatin g in the widest part Of
North Carolina, in the lofty mountains of the
Blue ridge. He shot seven men, killing ono:
has stolen horses and cattle and counterfeited
money. Three years ago he was out

ping from county to county, living
like a beast of prey. He has repeatedly been
Yesterday two brothers, James and L. Burle-
son, both constables, found Pritchard at the
house of his brotller-in-law, named Reese Bla-
lock. They had warrants for both Pritchard
and Ruth Carpenter, his mistress, who was
also in the house. Pritchard. who was u
powerful man and armed, made no attempt at
resistance, but said the woman was too sick to
be taken f.om the house, and asked
L. Burleson to go for a doctor, who
lives half a mile away. Scarcely had Burleson
gone when Pritclard seized a gun and snapped
it at James Burleson. Quick as thought. tho
latter fired and shot him in the breast with his
heavy revolver. The noise of the firing brought
back Edward, and both brothers opened fire
upon Pritchard. He fought like demon, at
tempting to club out the brains of the cousta-
bles with the gun. The woman aided in the
fight. Pritcharl was shot twice in the head.

A Dwelling House 5 Feet Wide, 50
Feet Deep, and 4 Stories High.

IA dwelling mouse y rect wide, 90
Feet Deep, and 4 Stories High.
N. Y. Evening Post.
The narrowest house in this city may
be seen at the northwest corner of Lex
ineton avenue and Eighty second street.
When Lexington v nue. was cutthrough
some years ego, a strip of land five feet
wide and one hundred feet deep was all
that was left Of a certain lot belonging to
q person who did not own the next lot
on the street. The strip, while of little
value by itself, would be valuable to a
person owning the adjoining lot on
Eighty-second street, because it would
not only enable him to build a house
five feet wider, but would give him win
dows all along the sile Of his house on
Lexington III The two owners,
however, conld not agree as to terms,
and a house was erected on the lot adj
joining the narrow strip. The owner Of
the latter had nothing to do butte aban-
wide upon it. The latter course was
perhaps adopted because such a house
would shut up all the side windows Of
the neighboring building, and consider
ably reduce its value.
The new building, which has been
finished for some months, is therefore S
feet wide, 100 feet deep, and 4 stories
high. 1t is divided into two houses,
each 80 feet long, and the entrance
doors are, of course, on the avenue, as
there is no room for a door at either end
Of the building. The law allows build
ing at the corner of a street to have
projecting bay windows along the side
and taking advantage of this circum-
stance, the architect has managed to
plan a house which, while peculiar in
inside appearance, and probably very
uncomfortable to live in, may find ten
ants. Without these bay-windows or
square projections running from the
foundations to the roof it would not
have been possible to build a house at
ali, for no room would have been wider
than three feet. Each house has therefore
two bay windows, in ono of which are
about eight feet wide by fifteen feet
long, upon each floor. The long passage
between the stair-well and the room is
about three feet wide. Each house con-
tains a kitchen eight by fifteen feet and
four rooms, each of the same size, but
on different floors. There are also in
geniously placed closets at each end Of
the building and under the stairs. Both
houses are nnoccupied. One is offered
Tor rent at S5OO q year.
If the object Of these extraordinary
houses Was simply to shut out the light
from his neighbours building, he would
probably have accomplished the same
end at much less expense by adopting
Mr.. George Kemp's device Of sheet-iron
shields. Mr.. Kemp did not wish the oc-
cupants of the building in the rear Of his
house at No. 72O Fifth avenue to over
look his premises, and SO he built an
iron s%caffolding in his backyard and
Gus openings, shutting out air and light
as completely as a Lrick wall would have
done. This arrangement has been for
years the source of no little comment
from the neighbors and passers-by.

Our Postage Stamps.


The new two-cent rate of letter post

familiar green three-cent stamp bearing

common use after thirteen years of SER
vice. The first issue of adhesive postage
stamps used by the Government appear

tons, a f%ve-cent stamp bearing the face
of Franklin, whose zeal and ability laid
tho foundation of our postal system, and
a ten-cent stamp with the head of Wash
ington upon it. Not long after a second
series of i've denominations was issued.
The one-cent stamp bore Franklin's
image, the there Westinghouse, the

Franklin on two and Jefferson

was printed. 1t was black and bore the
face ofJackson veryconspicuously placed
In 1866 the fifteen-cent stamp was
introduced for foreign postage, and had
placed upon it the portrait of Lincoln.
These remained in use without change
till 1870, when a series Of ten square
stamps of various designs appeared,
three Of them portraits. The one-cent
was still reserved for Franklin.
Washington was placed on
the six-cent, and Lincoln on the ninety
cent. The other designs we're fanciful
and unpopular, and a new issue, the
now in use, was brought out a month
later. In this Franklin is on the one
cent, Jackson on the two, Washington
on the three, Lincoln On the six, Jefer-
son on the ten, Clay on the twelve,
Webster on the fifteen, Scott on the
t%wenty-four, Hamilton on the thirty and
Commodore O. III. Perry on the ninety.
The seven was later given to Stanton,
and the five to Garfield. Thus it will be
seen that, from the first, the denomina-
ton in commonest use has borne the
head of Washington. AS the three-cent
stamp will now go almost entirely out Of
use. and the two-cent become universal
it is very proper that the Postmaster
General should place the image Of Wash
ington on a newly designed two.cent
stamp, as he intends to.

A Crooked Contractor

Mandan Pioneer: On Saturday last. Hoover, the
contractor who was building Mr.. Gerard's block,
received 1915 from MI. Gerard, ostensibiy to pay
his hands and Mr.. P. NJ. Cranberry, which money
was drawn from tho bank by Hoover in the after
noon If that day; He then wrote out a check for
about $500 and handed the same 20 his men in
payment OF wages. but was careful to do this after
banking hours, so the check could not be presented
until onday at the bank, where he never had an
account. In the meantime his skipped contractor
ship found his health failing badly and decided
upon a change OF climate. A ticket to st. Paul was
purchased, and Sunday mornings train bore all that
was mortal OF Fred Hoover to a less pressing at
mosnhere. A warrant has since been sworn out by
Mr.. Gerard, charging him with embezzlement, aud
the arrest is not far off. as the telegraph has been
freely used TO stay the progress of the fugitive.
The exact amount Of the booty can hardly be as
certalned, though it will not fall below 81 500.
Every merchant in town sleft to the tune of from
70 10 $50, while his hands remain unpaid. aside
from Gerard's heavy loss.

A Soldier on Trial,

CHAMBERLAIN, Oak, Special Correspondence,
April 11.-Charles Baykin, who shot and
killed Sergeant Robert Willis at Fort Hale, on
the 9TH inst, was turned over by the military
authorities to Deputy United States Marshal
for preliminary examination before United
States Commissioner John Stroube. The pris-
oner came from South Carolina, and is about
thirty years Of age. He has been in the United
States army since 1881, and has heretofore
borne a good reputation as y soldier. He
pleaded not guilty. Tho evidence thus far
shows That Bavkin shot and killed Willis; that
the ball passed into the left lung, went directly
though the body and came out just below the
shoulder blade on the left side. Baykin and
Willis had u severe fight before the shooting,
and Willis knocked Baykin down and then beat
him with q chair, and nearly one hour there
after Baykin went and got his gun aud fired
the fatal shot The case was adjourned until
tomorrow. 1t will probably go to the higher
courts.

Hardly IL Desirable pard.

DENVER. April 12.-The trial of Alfred G.
Parker, the San j uan ghoul, charged with murder
ing five companions in San Juan county in 1872,
which has been in progress in Lake City the past
few days, was concluded tonight, aud the case was
given to the jury. The evidence shows that a party
of six organized in Utah in 1872 to prospect South
ern Colorado; While in the vicinity of the present
site or Lake City binding storms came on. They lost
their way, and their food gave out. Fol- days together
they lived on rosebuds. The men became desper-
ate, some crazed. While his companions were in
this condition.. Parker deliberately fell upon and
b%utchered the whole party, and for several weeks
lived on flesh cut from their bodies. Yesterday, in
the course of the trial, Parker made n statement
calmly, and for two hours he related the experi-
ences OF the party from their setting out in Utah,
closing with the most sickening details of the muir
der and subsequent feasting on human aesh,
claiming the killing was done in se!f-defense.
Evidence shows that each member of tile party.
except Parker, possessed quite a large sum OF
money, upon which the ghoul has since been llv-
ing. After nine years wandering he was captured
n few weeks since near Fort Fetterman, Wyo.
While the evidence is entirely clrcumstantial, yet
it Is deemed conclusive. A verdic. Of guilty is con-
tidently expected.

Marshal Russell Attended To

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Stillweil II. Russell,
late United States marshal, Western district of
Texas, recently tried aud convicted upon the
charge of presenting false expense accounts,
was to-day sentenced by Judge Turner at San
Antonio, Tex, to Imprisonment for two years in
the penitentiary at Chester, III. Russell was
appointed by President Hayes, and made appli-
cation to President Arthur for reappointment
but charges OF misconduct in office were pre-
ferred against him, aud an investigation, or
| dered by the attorney general, ended in his
arrest, trial and conviction. tits estimated that
Russell defrauded the government of at least
$780, 0O. His official bond, however, is good,
and the department of justice expects to re-
| cover the entire sum from his %sureties.
