An Anonxmous Murderer

IL SAuOhSmOu N1ufOerGr.
A letter has been received at St. Pc.
tersburg, ILL.,, where o. A. Carpenter Is
being tried for the murder of Fora Burns,
to-day from GAINESVILLE, WIS.,, directed to
the postmaster. written ID disguised
hand, containing the following state.
ment:
II am the murderer of Fora Burns.
Carpenter had wronged me. l was going
With Fora Burns on the sly, and am the
father of her unborn child, though Car
penter may have been intimate with her.
She agreed to get money from him and
divide it with me. knew he had been
with her that night, and that he had
walked out the lane. We were
going out the same way. L
thought she had large sum of
money, and asked her to divide, and
when she refused we quarreled, and
struck her with large stick, and I struck
her on the head. She fell and said,
Goodbye, you have killed me- These
were the last words the poor girl ever ut.
tered in this world. I did not mean to
kill her, poor thing! God knows didn't,
but Thought she had more money than
fifty dollars. When I thought 1 had
killed her made sure by cutting her
throat. Carpenter has suffered enough
for an innocent man." The letter is be.
lieved by some to have been written by
crank, but the defense lays great stress
upon it, and. it is said, will try to bring
it into the argument.

An IMventioh Intended as = Substitute fur
Gsnpowdcr.
After fourteen years Of experimenting
MIR. I. Chamberlain, Of Norwich. Conn.
says the New York Sun, has produced
what he calls "perfected air gun" The
term is a misnomer, as the invention does
not relate to guns. but to projectiles.
Mr.. Chamberlain does not load gun
with air, but he loads the bullet, aud he
thinks his invention would do away with
the use Of gunpowder. Tue various
parts of MIR. Chamberlain's bullet are
three in number. The exterior of the
,projectile is q hollow steel shell. Part
two is o steel end piece, which screws
into the shell, leaving the chamber above
the end piece to be charged with air.
The end piece is hollow, except at the
upper end. and has four equidistant air
fits exactly into the hollow of the end
piece, the end OF the pin being flush
with the bottom of the bullet when il ia
ready for use. Il is held in place, when
the bullet is charged, by delicate wire
penetrating the rim of tho end piece. ln.
charging the bullet with air the end
piece is screwed IN tight, aud air is
forced into the chamber by an air engine
invented by Mr.. Chamberlain. The pin
is then sent in md the wire is fastened
The bullet may be fired in any breech-
loading gun OF the right bore. The fall
Of the gun hammer breaks the wire
holding the steel pin, and drives the pin
past the air holes, the air charge rushes
ont around the smaller end of the pin
against the gun breech, and the bullet is
hurled from the gun. The report Of the
air discharge is, cssrespondingly louder
thnn that of powder. By adaptation of
the same principles cartridge Is made
for throwing shot.
The air charged bullet. MIR. Chamber
laiu says. may be made to tit the small
est rife or the largest cannon. The We.
locity with which il is thrown depends,
Of course, entirely on the pressure OF air,
with which it Is ioaded MIR. Chamber
lain has fired rifle bullet, loaded with
q hundred pounds of air pressure. half a

he says, 1000 pounds OF pressure: He

Mr.. Chamberlain has also invented an
