The Latest American Invention.
TaE VICTORY OF ELEcTRTCrTY.

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts of inventors have
been directed to construct a lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none OF
the inventors could rid themselves Of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead OF first laying down the principle that
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, mus be portable like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator Of Elec-
tricity in ITSELF i. e., in the foot Of the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
IDEAL Of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches Of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeablc in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
1t every four or five days with acid. The cost
of lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour), and 1t has before the latter the i'm.
mense advantage of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains al the same
degree OF temperature. 1t is further abso-
lutely inodorous, and does not need TO be
kindIed by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
of fire, explosion or suflocation, as in the case
of gas if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu-
able 1t is further preferable to any known
kind of lighting for the following reasons
~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep it in order.
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3l That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning Of the
cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.
(4) That the light produced is a soft and
most steady one that it never lickers, and
the flame, though being equal in power Of
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de-
gree.
(5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely
excluded, as the light will extnguish immedi.
ately, if by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should he broken.
(6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in.
valuable for Examinations, lighting Of gardens,
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present in
three different sizes;

1T WORKS BOTH WAYS.

A Canadian Vessel Detained at Chicago by
Reason of a Technical Violation of the In
ternatiOnal Maritime Laws.
barge NipigOn arrived here yesterday in 4
sinking condition, and under circum-
stances possessing peculiar interest in
view of the clashlng between the Ameri-
can and Canadian maritime interests. Her
crew were completely worn out by excess
sive labor at the pumps, and were almost
ready to give up the fight to keep the yes
sci af1oat. The NipigOn was loaded with
stone at Vert island, Lake Superior.
While proceeding toward Sault st. Marie
she was OvertaKen by Il severe nOrtherly
gale which shook her up so badly that
she began to leak. Captain COnlOn, wish
ing to get to Chicago with all possible
haste, did not stop at Mackinaw or She.
boygan, as the law requires, to report the
entrance of his vessel into American
waters. He says he did not want to risl
the chance of delay, however slight,
because his vessel was in altogether too
bad plight, and the lives of his crew
might have been endangered.
The law says that foreign vessel
about to enter American waters must re-
port the fact to the collector of the first
United States port on her route and Ob-
tain from him permission to continue the
trip. The penalty for violation of the
statute is nothing less than forfeiture Of
the vessel and cargo. Yesterday the cap
tain called upon Collector Seeberger, to
whom he related the story of his vessels
condition, and the necessity of reaching
Chicago OR some other port where there
is dry dock without delay. Under Col
lector Seeberger's advice Captain Conlan
prepared a statement of the facts and for
warded it to the Treasury Department.
Until Collector Seeberger hears from
Washington the Nipigon will not be al
lowed toleave port.

AN IMPASSABLE BARRIER.


Tactics of strikers Wives and Children in
Chicago to Prevent the Movement Of
Trains.
CHICAGO, June Sat ten O'Clock yes
terday morning an engine of the II. I. road
was sent to Cummings to attempt to move
the four cars loaded with rails made by
newmen. The removal was prevented by
the wives and families of former employees,
assembled around the terminus of the
railroad tracks. When the engine ap-
preached there was a rush to where the
loaded cars were standing. Mothers
grouped their little ones along the
track some distance ahead Of the first
freight cdr, and packed them according
to age along the rails, the youngest to-
ward the approaching engine, the moth.
ers and grown-up daughters taking the
rear. The engineer seeing the living,
breathing obstacle on the track, reversed
and returned to South Chicago.
Then the women dispersed, and on
their return jeered and abused the rep
resentatives of the company at the nail
works gate, calling them most oppro-
brious names, the police by their pres
ence only preventing the infection OF
violence by the Infatuated women.
At two O'Clock, when the engine ap-
peared again, fully two thousand women
and children were thrOnging the tracks,
aud apparently as determined as before.
Sixty police from Hyde Park had come
down in the meantime. The women,
feeling sure they would not be dubbed,
refused to move, or moved very slowly
when told to do so, and closed up again
OH the tracks, unless absolutely held back
by the officers. For some time great eX-
citement prevailed. The police finally
succeeded in getting the women away
from the tracks without resOrting to
harsh measures, but the attempt to move
the cars was abandoned. More of the
same kind of trouble is expected to-day.
