ELECTRIC HEADLIGHTS.
"A Successful Attempt of the New
Method Railway Notes.

CHICAGO, Nov. 90 seeming meteor APP
peared away down the Western Indiana
track, rushing toward the depot. 1t was tbs
new electric locomotive headlight. The glare
was very strong One third of a mile of
track could be plainly seen from the cab. A
party of railroad men took short run in
the two coaches to test the light. They went
twenty miles an hour, but the light never
fiickered Returning, the glass i'll front of
the light was broken, and the result was still
better. The power is given by three-horse-
power engine, attached to the locomotive and
taking steam from the boiler Only one test
has been given before-at Indianapolis few
weeks ago-which was equally satisfactory.

A dispatch from Des Moines says: The

From an investigation covering 12s
observations made in the course OF
three years, Prof. A. Hall, of Wash
ington, has calculated that the mass
of the sun is 3,4S2,2 times that of the
planet Saturn, the second in size Of
the eight great planets Of our solar
system.
Prof. J. Koinig proposes to purify
town sewage, and the waste waters OF
slaughter houses, dye works, breweries
ETC., by allowing them TO trickle over
net work of wire, thus exposing a
large surface to the oXidizing action
of the atmosphere. He recommends
that the coarser impurities should
first be removed 10y means of setting

LIVELY TOWN MEETING.
Esut'er'S Thanksgiving Proclamation
the Subject of Fierce Discussion.

the Subject of Fierce Discussion.
WINTHROP, Mass, Nov. ga town meet
ing was held to discuss the purchase of fire
engines, but no sooner was the assembly
called to order than A. w. Richardson
moved that inasmuch os the churches
of the town had ignored Gov But
ler's proclamation and refused to read il
from the pulpit, it should be read in the town
meeting, that citizens might have chancs
to hear it. The moderator, bitter anti
Butler man, declared the motion illegal.
The decision was disputed and by a vote of
three to one the proclamation was ordered
read A scene of the widest disorder con-
tirued for three hours the anti-Butler men
yelling and hooting whenever an at
tempt was made to read the proclama-
ton. Several very angry speeches were
male, the Butler men condemning
the bigo5Ty of the preachers who refused to
read proclamation because it was written
by Butler. At last constables were placed at
the doors with orders to arrest any one at
tempting disturbance, and the proclamation
was read. The meeting adjourned with three
terrific cheers for the governor from his ad-
Lelants. No business was transacted. The
people forgot all about their fire engines.

distribution of fire arms among the local
police. The Land Leaguers are defiant and
declare their intention to meet at Newry next

Pinkernton's detective agency was
invoked to ferret out the murders of
the Ward Brothers at Devils Lake.
A sharp shrewd member of the force
was detailed for the purpose and this
is the way in which he performed the
disagreeable job. This detective went
to Devils Lake and migrated himself
into the confidence of the suspected
parties, He made it a point to be one
of the boys. In their inconings and
outgoings he was one of them. Wher-
ever the suspected men went he was
also; whatever they said about the
case met with his hearty appreciation.
His plausible frankness threw the
parties off their guard and in and evil
moment they betrayed their secret
and now they find themselves con-
fronted by indictments.

cathedral at Ely. Commodore Garrison's
Italian octagon mausoleum cost 500, 600.
Jay Gould has at Woodlawn Greek temple
