Sons OF Eminent Judges Suspected

of Robbery.
For several days Carson, says the Index,
has been quite full of gossip and rumors
concerning an affair which, at the best, is
a painful one to all concerned. 1t is moth
ing less than the opening of registered
letters on the mail Car Of the G. & G. r.
R., of which Ernest Hawley had
charge. At the time of the occurrence he
had admitted Bert Rising, who had just
been discharged by Wells, Fargo & Co.
from their service and their compartment
Of the car-ostensibly to sleep on the re-
turn trip. This was contrary to the postal
regulations. During the night the letter
or letters in question were opened and
sealed up again after the valuable con-
tents, amounting probably to 500, had
been distracted. The authorities were at
once advised of the fact by telegram
from Hawley at the Mound House
to San Francisco. Since Their an in
y~estigation has been constantly going on
and many of the facts have been elected.
Hawley is in Carson and Rising is in San
Francisco, and both are being carefully
questioned by the Postal Agents. No ar
rests have yet been made.
Up to a certain point, Hawley seems to
be guiltless OF any criminal act beyond the
disobedience of orders in admitting any
person into his compartment of the car.
Whether the two participated in the fruits
of the tampering with the letters is as yet,
perhaps, uncertain. We shall soon know
what action the postal authorities will
have decided upon, and give such particu-
lars as may be correct and proper fer the
public knowledge. 1t is a miserable affair
at best and blights the young manhood of
both, however innocent the one or the 9TH
or may be.

A Correction.

The Reno Gazette says: The Reveille
falls into the error Of quoting the Carson
papers to the effect that the Teachers
Institute was a failure. They were misin-
formed by an officious meddler, who was
snubbed and yer home pouting, and de-
clared hat because he had to pay board
and fare, the Institute was mismanaged.
The truth is. the meeting was a grand sue
cess, and was highly profitable to all who
attended it.

Murder of Oid BIOxain.

PORTLAND, Jan. 10.-The preliminary
examination of William Bloxam and Mrs.
Fisher, charged with the killing of Jacob
Fisher, the ~latter's divorced husband,
began to-day. The first reports of the
homicide made it appear as almost in self
defense on the part of Bloxam. Evil
dence wal given before the examining
Magistrate tonight, showing that Bloxam
and Mrs. Fisher had frequently threatened
the old mans life. One witness testified
that he had heard the two talking under
his window a few nights ago, when
Bloxam said to Mrs. Fisher: ''If you
don't go up and kill the g. of a b. to-
night I'll do it myself" The prosecution
expect to make out a case of murder in the
first degree, and to show that they pro-
voked a quarrel to bring about an oppor-
tunity for Bloxam to kill the old man
Bloxam had a bad reputation when he
came here from San Jose, where he was
known as "Big Mouthed Bill"

that as large quantities Of American resist
ant vines have been planted in France,
Algeria, Italy and other countries, the
probabilities of exporting California claret
are still further reduced. Mr.. Bernard,
however, says this country will probably
be able to consume all the claret made in
California for some years to come.

SAN F~RANcIsco, Jan. 10.-The shipping
and grain firm Of M. Waterman & Co.
made an assignment to-day. Liabilities,

The failure is due to the decline in

England had under charter some 30,000
tons, at an average of IS shillingsa a ton. The
larger portion of the tonnage was already

5000, 900. They had also purchased grain
on account to an extent involving the loss
Of another $3.50, 900. 1t was known some
time ago that the firm was in . difficulty,
but it was believed it could be tided over.
The assignment was made for the benefit
Of the creditors. Isaac Wormeer, the
assignee, when it was announced, stated
that the liabilities were 81 500, 900, and
made a statement to an Associated Press
representative that it would not exceed
81 ,000, 900, with $500, 900 of available
assets. The principal creditors are
the First National Bank for $40, 900,
against which they hold grain receipts and
other collateral; $240, 600, Nevada Bank;

There are 5000 milk dealers in this
city" said a member of the New York
Health Department. "and the beneficial
effects of the present system ofinspection
of their methods is shown in the great
decrease in the amount of fines collected
from them for violations of the law in

The system has been in force six years.
When it was inaugurated we found out
that one dealer in five were selling adul-
terated milk. In 1881 fines to the amount
Of $4,000 were collected from dealers
who were prosecuted. The next year the
sum of the penalties fell off over 5000.
Last year the quality of milk dispensed
about the city was so greatly improved
that violatOrs of the law were called upon
for but 81. 800, while thus far in 1884 the
total of fines amounted to about 5000.
The proportion of dealers now selling i'm.
pure milk is only one in $50. During

Jackson's Inaugural Address, 1870.
With regard to a proper selection of
the subjects of impost with view to
revenue, it would seem to me that the
spirit of equity, caution and compromise
in which the Constitution was formed.
requires that the great interests of agri-
culture, commerce and manufactures
should be equally favored; and that.
perhaps, the only exception to this rule
should consist in the peculiar encour-
agement of any product of either ofthe
that may be essential TO our national in
dependence.
Jackson's Annual Message, lss9.
The general rule to be applied in grad
uating the duties upon articles of for

NAVIGATING THE AIR.
The Problem Not to be SpIved by bal

The Problem Not to be s,Ived by bal
looming, bat by M~chani.m.
Colonel Burnaby in Fortnightly Review.
Much has been said as to the possibili-
ty ofreaching the North Pole in a bal
loon, and the present writer has receiv.
ed numerous letters from people who de-
clare that they can direct an aerostat.
His reply to such communications is,
that he will be very glad to make the
gentlemen in question present 9l0O
If they will select tive places, twenty
miles apart, 90 in free aerostat from
one spot to the other and return without
anchoring the balloon or recharging il
with gas, provided that they, on failing
to do this, will give him f5 to assist a
charity. Any person who subscribes to a
scheme for reaching the North Pole in a
balloon, with our present knowledge of
aeroetatics, cannot be practically ac-
quainted with the matter.
So far as the solution of the problem
how to navigate the air is concerned we
believe that balloons have done more
harm than good. The attention of in
ventors has been diverted from what is
probably the only feasible way to OBJ
tain the desired end-namely, the con-
strucnj IN of machine which, i,self
heavier than the atmosphere, will be
able to strike blow on the air in ex-
cess os its own weight. Machinery
worked by steam is much too heavy for
this purpose electricity some day, per
haps, will be available. An engineer
who has made electricity his study re-
Gently informed an assembly of gentle
men that in the course of the next ten
years he believed it would be possible
to compress enough electricity in sub
stance the size Of an epg-shell TO drive
an express train from London to Liver
pool. Science has no. arrived at this
point yet, but who can tell, after the tel
ephone, the phonograph and the otEer
discoveries of Edison, what it
may do in the future? Inventors should
never forget that bird flies because its
strength enables it to overcome the diff
ference between its weight and that of
the atmosphere it displaces. To put the
case in nutshell, aerial navigation is
mere question of lightness and force.

what Hoosicr Inventor Proposes 10 do
with his Improved Batteries.
indianapolis Letter in Chicago Tribune.
For about nine days now q thermo-
electric generator has been supplying a
current of electricity sufficient to operate
four wires, two to Louisville one to Mat.
ton, ILL.,, and one TO Union City, this State
the total length of the wire IN operation
exceeding 600 miles. As to the machine
ITSELF all that the observer sees is cop
per boiler, ofperhaps two gallon capaci-
ty, mounted on the frame of sewing
machine. Underneath the boiler is a
coal oil lamp, which is burning with
about the flame used to partially illumi-
nate sick room. II has been burning
continuously for eight days and nights,
except when being ieplenished and had
consumed less than twenty cents worth
of oil. In front of the boiler is a gauge
which marked 100 degrees of heat. In
side of the boiler were scraps of metal
rrotruding from white substance that
might be flour or plaster of Paris. At
tached to the boiler is an automatic regn-
lator.
In response to questions as to the ma
ture of his discovery the inventor said
that 1t had long been known to scientists
that the iuxtaposition of certain metals
would generate electricity and that the
process of generation would be accelerat-
ed by the application of heat. This
knowledge had, however, remained inap-
plicable to r-ctical purposes from three
oauses-first, the amount of heat requir-
ed was 30 great es to cause rapid fracture
of the combined metals and this render
ed any machine previously invented
short lived and consequently expensive;
second, the current of electricity gener-
ated was uneven and unsteady; third,
the high degree of heat involved great
expenditure for fuel. That he had over
come the third difficulty was apparent.
That he had overcome the second he
held to be proved, for telegraphic service
requires perfectly uniform and steady
current of electricity, and this he had
maintained for nine days. Whether the
other obstacles had been overcome was
now being tested and the test would be
for thirty days.
If at the end of that time all ID well
with the little machine he will give de-
with one big enough to
create something like revolution in the
use Of electri ,ity. AT present he declines
to expose the combination of metals by |
which he hss secured these results. Tel. |
is one of only few uses 20 |
which the thermo-gencrator can be ap-
piled.
