ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Drushs New System of storage Pro.
nonnced y Success.

CLEVELAND February 1.-The first pub
lie exhibition in Cleveland Of the Brush
storage system OF electric lighting mas
givenlast evening at the company's office
on Euclid avenue. A large number OF
delegate millers were present, besides others
who are interested in the problem OF light
ing mills, warehouses and dwellings by
electricity,ihstead Of gas. In the basement
was placed tho storage battery, which is
simple in Its construction, consisting Of a
box containing cells, in each Of which are
lead plate chemically prepared and charg-
ed with electricity. The power used in the
process Of storage was transmitted from the
lighting station on Ontario street. From
the storage battery wires were run TO the
office above where some twelve or fifteen
OF the Brush.Swan lamps were burning.
The lamp itself is very simple in construc-
ton. 1t consists merely OF n small glass
globe from which the air has been ex-
hausted and into which thin tilament OF
carbon is fixed, The light emitted was
beautifully soft, clear and steady, and was
greatly admired by the visitors, who were
much delighted with the exhibition. The
system Of fighting is now beyond the expert
mental stage, and is ready for public use
in whatever capacity it may be required.
The battery is practically understandable
and needs no care or attention beyond the
occasional addition ola little water to re-
place that taken up! by evaporation. Bat
teries OF different sizes are made according
to the number Of lamps required, the small.
est having a capacity OF from FIVE TO eight
lamps, and the largest from forty 10 sixty.
An important consideration in mills and
other large establishments where both the
arc and incandescent lights are needed is
the fact that the batteries will furnish nine
or ten lights Of the size or power OF an or.
dinary fve-foot gas burner for each horse.
power used by tho dynamo. They may
be charged from the same wire used in
furnishing the arc lamps, and while these
lamps are burning, so that lights OF both
kinds may be on the same circuit and
produced by the same source Of power.
The incandescent lamps will be largely
used for domestic purposes, and the new
storage system furnishes great
many advantages for such use. Each
user Of the light will have his own reser-
voir OF electricity on his own premises,
which will be charged by power at cen.
tral station. He is independent OF every
other consumer, or Of the station, and
should the machinery at the latter stop for
period OF several hours itwould not nec-
issarily effect his lights. All the advantages
Of this new improvement, which is likely
to revolutionize the light OF the world,
cannot be stated in the limits OF news.

PITTSBURGH, February 1.-The conspiracy
case which is now on trial in the Court OF
Quarter sessions is exciting great deal OF
interest, not only because it is the only
suit OF the kind ever instituted here, but
also because Of the importance Of the in.
terests involved in the decision OF the mat
ter at Issue. The suit in question is that Of
Edward Scott against number Of his for
lner companions in the Amalgamated AS
sociation, the details Of which were given
at length yesterday. The case will have no
little influence in settling the yexed
question Us to the right OF trades
unions to interfere with workman
10 the performance ol his duties
In the case Of Russell & Co. against Cur
rem, Owens and Heating, some important
points on the subject Of conspiracy were
decided. Justice Ryan, in his charge held
that 'all confederacies wrougfully to pre-
judice another are misdemeanors at com.
mon law, whether the intention is to in.
juTe the property, person or character OF
another" also that "it does not matter at
what period anyone enters into the con-
spiracy, X he knows the object and aids in
its execution, he is responsible for all that
was done before he entered into the combt-
nation and further that lone has no right
to dictate whom the owner OF the property
shall employ to work 1t, nor to say that the
work shall not be done by such as the own
ers may employ to do it. !" ~
The penalty for conspiracy is fine not
exceeding $500 and imprisonment by soli-
tary confinement at labor or otherwise, not
exceeding two years.
After the case had dragged along until
about half.past ten o'clock to-day, the
counsel, Messrs. Marshall, Knox and Reed
for Lewis, and Messrs Montooth, Reardon
and f. b. Cotton for the defendants, con-
suited together and finally agreed upon
special verdict, which was submitted to
the Jury. The verdict was in substance
that the defendants had agreed to get Lewis
out OF the mill and had SO informed their
employers, but that no force had been
used or threats employed, which MIR. Mar
shall held was necessary to constitute con-
spiracy. The special verdict agreed upon
BY the counsel is worded about the
same as the indictment only that
the words "iorce" and "by threats"
are omitted. Judge Bailey charged the
jury in the usual form and the verdict
agreed upon by counsel was handed them.
The usual custom is for the jury to accept
such verdict and be sworn 10 1t, but to the
surprise Of all, the jury deliberated for a
long time and finally announced that they,
could not agree upon this verdict and pre-.
ferred to 90 out. 1t is said that this refusal
to accept verdict is the first in.
stance OF the kind that has ever occurred
here. The jury retired shortly after eleven
O'Clock, but up TO two o'clock had not
reached verdict. The intention Of the
counsel was to have taken the case 10 the
Supreme Court where it properly belongs.
1t is expected that the jury will ask to be
dismissed.

prominent physician, "he is Just about
able 10 tell the difference OF
taste between cheese and chalk" But the
most wonderful thing about the man, that
has set the pet theories OF the physicians OF

The fine, down hair that is commonly on
the limbs OF any ordinary person is entirely
absent in this case, and the skin is perfect

Of moisture. When working actively his
body becomes intensly hot, and the only
means OF assuaging this heat is TO throw
water over him. What Is most peculiar is
that Mr.. Vending has never known a

WASHINGTON, February lat certain
well known residence in this city last even
ing, a little discussion arose that obtains
some importance when one understands
that the parties to it are high in social and
official circles. In substance it contained
the following important points:
Secretary Frelinhuysen is very III with
complication Of troubles, and has not been
able to the department for some days part.
His ailment is said to be OF such character
as may contine him to the houseap invalid
for some time to come. Should this prove
to be the case, the Secretary will resign bis
office, and it Is said to be the purpose OF the
President to appoint Senator Window to
the vacancy, should it unfortunately occur.
or all President Garfeld's secretaries Mr..
Window is said to have been the iayorite
with President Arthur. While he has
never been Stalwart, the Senator has
never taken deep interest in the fac.
tional fights which have torn the party,
and the President has shown disposition
to cultivate men OF this character, who
seemed to have Republican principles
rather than personal interests at heart: He
believes that with such men rests the ulti-
mate salvation Of the party aud this Is
given as one reason why, in case OF Mr..
Frelinghnysen's retirement, he will appoint
Senator Window, whether he be elected
Senator or not, as Secretary OF State.
