Rurder and Suicide in st, Paul,

could be taken inside. Her murderer was one
Joseph Cech,1ra, a furrier living at the house
where the deed was committed He had re-
turned home, and after threatening to kill
his wife, who ran away taking the
children with her, he locked all the doors in
the house, and thus imprisoned Mrs. Messer-
schmidt and daughter. In attempting to leave
the house, they were met in the hallway by
Cechura, who, armed with nine inch dirk
knife, attacked Mrs. Messerschmidt and
stabbed her in the back and breast The
daughter bravely attempted to arrest the muir
derer's hand and rushed between him and
her mother, when he turned upon her and
drove the knife into her right breast through
to her lungs.

n Russia. the question of using !

In Russia, the question of using pc
tro1eum for fuel, either for power pur-
poses or other furnace work, has been
practically solved. A locomotive super
intendent in charge of prominent rail-
way writes that out of one hundred and
thirty-one locomotives on the Grazi-
Tsaritsin railway seventy-two are burn
ing petroleum refuse, and by October
1884, that all the locomotives on the
line-four hundred and sixty-five miles
will be burning petroleum refuse.
This is declared, after years expert
ence, to be the best and most conven-
lent form of fuel used for locomotive
AID marine purposes. A practical evap-
Grafton of twelve to thirteen and half
pounds of water to the pound of petro-
ieum is quite possible under ordinary
circumstances. A cold locomotive can
be fred up to eight atmospheres in fif-
ty-five minutes. From three to four
tons of petroleum are run into the ten
der tanks in four minutes. The COM
bustion is practically complete, and
hence smoke is avoided. A cast-iron
plate having two inch sight-hole is
placed over the firing door, thus en-
ploying virtually no furnace door. The
main obstacles hitherto encountered are
obviated by appliances designed for the
purpose, which save nearly fifty per
cent. in weight as compared with coal.
