A DEMAND FOR $3.50, 900.
Impending Litigation Over Patented "Hy-
drOdynamie" Machine.

Tobias NJ Murphy yesterday fled a complaint
in the Superior Court against Jacob B. Yeagley
and the National Automatic Water Supply Com
pany recently organized in this city, demanding
damages for $3.50, 900 and a restraining order to
prevent the company from paying Yeagley any
money, or issuing to him any stock in the con
cern in return for the of his patent, which
Murphy claims is original with him. and that he
has been defrauded out of it. He alleges that in
1881 be made various experiments with view of
determining the feasibility of raising water by
means of compressed air. and that he progressed
SO far as to be perfectly satisfied that he had
made great discovery As he lacked the nee
essary scientific knowledge to develop and put
in practical use this discovery he began to look
around for some man who was better informed
in such matters than he was. He says that he
met Yeagley who was professor of natural
science, and the latter agreed to go in with him.
An agreement was made that Yeagley should
perfect a model of the proposed machine
and get it patented, for which he
was to have a half interest, said ma
chine being known in the physical sciences
as involving Hydrodynamics." He alleges
further that in May last Yeagley got the patent
in his own name as an improvement on pumps,
and then made an agreement with the National
Automatic Supply and Water Power Company"
which took am assignment of certain territory,
and organized under the laws Of the State with
capital stock of $3.50, 900, Yeagley having half
interest. A similar company has been organized
in Michigan for the same purposes, and others
will likely be organized in adjoining States. Z.
p. Jacobs is Murphys attorney.
The machine in question in the suit has
aroused considerable interest among a number
of business men who are interested in the com
pany It's purpose is to raise water to great
height with very little expense and Mr.. Yeagley
claims that its practicability is established be-
You'd doubt.

OF the year Doubtless the mild weather unfa-

very comfortable and satisfactory weather for
those who are short of funds to purchase Yet
the situation is peculiar. Money is plenty in
large commercial centers, and at time when it
should naturally be coming West TO move the
crops, it is going East, there being premium
on Eastern exchange in Chicago and St Louis
With enormous crops Of wheat and corn in the
West the price is yet too low to stimulate
movement this way and the West prefers to pay
its debts in money to shipping grain. The rail
roads with almost unlimited facilities for
transportation, are doing but little, because
The business of the country cannot be set
actively in motion. The great manufacturing
corporations of the country are many of them
idle, because with goods piled up far in excess
of the demand. there is no profit TO be found in

Markell Trout.

1t is the custom of some of our Fish Com.
miSsioners to attach metal tags to liberated
salmon, that when captured again the
growth of the fish may be noted. We once
knew an angler who was in the habit OF
putting his mark on trout but he did not
use a metal tag. 1t was rule with him
to retain no trout that weighed less than
one-half pound When he landed one OF
less weight he would carefully take it from
the hook, mark it by biting off the upper
part of its tail fin. and throw it back into
the water to grow. Sometimes he would
catch these fish again after they had at
tanned the proper size to find place in his
basketand 1t was source ofpleasure to him
to receive a letter of thanks from some
fellow angler who had CHANGED to take one
of the marked big fellows. One dav this
bitter of trouts' tails was driving along
some eighteen miles from home, when he
came to a bridge over a stream. and in
passing saw 4 big trout rise. The next dav
with his tackle he drove back over these
eighteen miles and tried for a rise. He
found not a sign of trout, The next dav
he made the journey again. with a like re-
suit The third day, nothing daunted. he
drove out again. This time he pulled out
pound trout. The upper half OF
its tail fin was gone, and our friend has al
ways believed that il was one of his marked
trout Forest and Stream.

SHERIDAN'S RIDE, No. =

Through the streets Of Winchester old,
Over the mountain bleak and bold,
On the air of the morning clear and cold
There came a rumble that plainly told
Of the army quivering in deadly fray
With Sheridan fifty miles away.
Up from his couch. with brow of ire,
Striding his steed like fash OF fire,
Seeming afar the battle dire,
Swelling at heart with full desire.
Coursing the vale with rushing sway
Was Sheridan forty miles away.
AS meteor CLEANS on Watchman's eye,
As comet cleayes the Arctic sky,
As lightnings round the planet fly
With grim resolve to win or die,
On to the field where death shots play.
Came Sheridan, thirty miles away.
From the smoke of the battle neer holdin.
aloof
Spurning the earth with iron hoOf,
Waking the echoes from wayside roof,
Weaving the air with foamy wool,
Sweeps the bold charger that needs no relay
With Sheridan, twenty miles away.
Laden the air with the lannon's boom.
Silent the anvil, and hushed the loom
ShrOuded the sun with the powders gloom
But hope is kindling with radiant bloom,
For through the darkness that covers the day
Comes Sheridan, but ten miles away
over the streamlet tinged with blood,
over the fields where the battles food
Has riven the ranks with crushing thud
The bows OF promise the skies bcstud
For swift to turn the 6ire dismay.
Comes Sheridan, but five miles away
Ring out the glad notes of the bugle gay!
Rend the heavens with wild hooray
Over our columns your banners display
Swing to the shock your stern array,
For in front of the fight that no foe can stay
Is Sheridan, never a mile away.
