A Desperate Hand-to-Hand En-
counter With a Burglar,

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Feb. 26.-Robt.
Smith. cashier of the First National
Bank, at Palmyra, at an early hour
yesterday morning had desperate
hand-to-hand struggle with burglar.
About 2 o'clock he heard an unusual
noise in the rear Of his house, and
arising from his bed started to inVesti-
gate. He had passed through the
dining-room door, when he was struck
over the head, was dazed for second
only, and grappled with his assailant.
A long and severe struggle in the dark
followed. The dining table was
overthrown, furniture broken and
crookery smashed, but Mr.. Smith final
ly got the better of his antagonist, and
with the aid of a servant bound him
hand and foot. The neighbors were
then aroused and the man was locked
up. He wore a black mask and had a
full set of burglars tools. He said his
name was Frank G. Moore, and he
lived in Albany. 1t is supposed his in
tention was to overpower Cashier
Smith and compel him to give up the
keys to the bank and disclose the COM
bination of the safe. In his pocket was
found bottle of chloroform. Moore
appears to be desperate fellow, but
Mr.. Smiths superior strength was to
much for him.

Edison Wants the Patent Office
Abolished,

CINCINNATI, Feb. 26.-Mr. Edison.
the well known inventor, spent a day
here on his way to Florida with his
bride. To one of his many callers, he
spoke of the recent telephone decision
in Indiana, saying if that doctrine is
to be followed, the patent Office might
as well be shut up. as inventors will
not produce patents if they cannot be
backed by capital. Such decision is
fatal to patents and progress. 1t has
proved so in England, where parlia-
ment not only fixed the rate, but pro-
vided for the purchase of electric
light plants by municipalities at their
value, without any consideration of
the good will. The consequence is
that the development of electric light
in England has been stopped. 1t
would be hopeless to attempt to raise
capital for an invention if the legisla-
ture fixed compensation for the use Of
the patent. l understand a patentright
to be a compact between the whole
people of the United States and the in
ventor, that if he will produce some.
thing new and useful they will give
him a monopoly of it for seventeen
years, and others that they are to
have it for all time. 1 believe that the
Indiana law will be pronounced un-
constitutional by the supreme court of
the United States.

Professor Alvord states the best stime for
cutting sweet clover to be when it is in full
boom. A few plants will scent a whole
barnful, and thus give the requisite flavor
to the hay without the cattls ever coming
into contact with it as food. Since all
these favors are caused by volatile oils. it
may be that chemists can furnish the reuui-
site oils without feeding anything specially
to produce them,

A MURDERER HANGED.
History Of the Crime for Which He
was Executed.

liobOI1 VI tu5 SflIue TOT WHICH ne
was Executed.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 26.-Wartena
the murderer Of Dreger, was hanged
here to-day.
The crime for which Wartena was
hanged was committed Cn the 29th Of
October, 1854. Wartena came to this
country from Holland a few years ago,
and located near French landing, on
Kankakee river. He procured food
for himself, wife and four children by
fishing and doing odd jobs for neigh
bOrs. One Of these neighbors was JnO.
Dreger, who owned small farm and
some cattle. Dreger lost his wife, but
kept his house in the same condition
as during his wife's lifetiL
and assisted Wartena and sometimes
boarded with him. On the 29th of
October, 1884, one Brainard found the
body OF man floating in the river. He
Immediately procured assistance and
the body was taken from the river.
Two iron pump-heads were found tied
to the body, but they were not of suf-
fcient weight to prevent the body,
when decomposition set in, from rising,
or the crime might have forever re-
mained in mystery. Wartena per.
suaded Dreger to go to the river with
him for fish. While there he watched
his opportunity and felled Dreger to
the earth with blow with the butt end
of gun. The gun was broken by
force of the blow in such manner as to
leave a long sharp point extending
from the breech, and with that deep
hole in the neck was made. The iron
pump heads were then securely fasten-
ed to the body, and it was thrown into
the river. Wartena, Immediately after
the murder, took possession of all of
DTeger's property, even to his deceased
wife's clothing, and claimed that he
had bought all the property for 1915,
paying for it with check, which he
had received from the old country, and
that Dreger had returned to
the old country. Immediately after
the discovery and identification
of the body of Wartena he was ar
rested, and on November 4, 1884, he
made complete confession, and gave
as a reason that he was poor and that
his family were destitute, and that he
desired to get food for them.
At the January term of the Jasper
circuit court he entered plea of guilty
and Judge Ward assessed the punish
ment at death, but upon appeal the
supreme court reversed the case on the
ground that the judge should have
called jury to determine the punish
ment. At the October term, 1885, he
filed plea Of insanity, but the jury
found him to be of sound mind and
guilty of murder in the first degree,
and assessed his punishment at death.

The Chess Contest at New Orleans

The Chess Contest at New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, Feb. 26.-Col. Ham
ilton, chairman OF the committee, an
nonuced that the match would begin
at one o'clock, and asked for quiet.
Steinitz had his seat with his back to
the light, coming in from the Baronne
street window, and played with the
whites. He looked in the best of
humor, and when one o'clock came,
after the announcement of Col. Hamil-
ton, he dashed off with a pawn to
kings fourth. 1t was evident they
wished to make time for the second
hour, for Steinitz sent out his king
knight to bishops third, and immedi-
ately Zukertort answered with knight
to queen bishops third. Steinitz pushed
out his bishop to queen knights fifth,
Zukertort, without delay, placed his
knight to kings bishops third. Stein
itz then castled. The play, up to this
time, had been very rapid, and each
player seemed to be willing to deVelope
his game early in the action.
The game ended in draw. Time
of play: Steinitz ifty-eight minutes,
zukertort twenty-three minutes.

A Western Blizzard Strikes New

New YORK, Feb. 26-The western
blizzard has reached New York. The
mercury has fallen over twenty de.
grees in the past few hours, and the
streets that were deluged by rain yes
terday are covered with ice to-day.
The wind is blowing a gale, and it is
with the greatest difficulty that tele-
graphic connections can be maintained
with the east, west or south. The sea
in the bay is unusually huge, and it is
feared that the gale will prove almost
as disastrous to shipping as the great

PLANTATION of Fig this needs not the going
into of details. 1t has several compart-
ments, so that milk of different ages may be
kept separate.
Some of the advantages of cabinet
creamery are in the butter making. 1t
keeps the cream Of uniform temperature
and allows it all to ripen or sour at one
time, when wanted for churning. 1t saves
the back-bleaking work Of Juggling milk and
milk pans up anddown cellar and all around.
It saves three-quarters of the labor of wash
ing milk utensils. 1t helps to make dairy
work, the heaviest Of all labor farm women
have to perform, easy. The creamers are of
different sizes and prices from those holding
milk from four cows up to thirty or forty.
More cream can be got from milk by this
method than in any other way, The cost Of
a cabinet creamer is from $26 up, according

and can be taken apart and scalded. The
water tank is zinc lined In the illustration,
is the water tank, or cooler, and is the

tube or well, marked g. This is tube
from the water tank that rises in the CEN

poured into No. l, it rises in the tube No.
to the same level Thus the milk has a cold
temperature all around the outside and in
the center. This helps on the quick cooling,
which is the main thing to make the cream
rise.
To the left of the main illustration you OBJ
serve No. 5, the cover to the milk pan. This
fits down tight over the pan, and also has
rim rounded up on the outside, forming
cup to hold more cold water. 1t has little
tube like round opening, 6, with raised rim
for ventilation. This has a little cap, Z,
which fits over il when desired. Thus the
whole can be sealed. Leave No. e open
while the milk is cooling.

you tilt the milk dish and the water cooer
.fGrward, letting the skim milk run 'out
clean. The picture shows the creamer with
its top tilted forward. When it is in use the
top part sits upon the lower portion,
straight up and down. The hole in the
cover of the cabinet is to admit
the hose that conveys water from
the spring or windmill to the creamer where
farm houses are so fortunate as o have
running spring or windmill The compart-
ment leow in the creamer serves as re-

With the Delaware county creamer he skim

milking, the pan is cleansed and thoroughly
scalded, ready for the new milking. 1t
would be we'll to have an extra pan or crock,
so that one may be summed while the other
is in use. The manufacturers should act on
this suggestion, if they have not already
done SO. The suns rays ars marvelously

The circuit civil court.

The March term of the circuit court
for the transaction Of criminal bust
ness solely, will begin tomorrow. last
ing four weeks. The opening day Of
the term will be consumed in charging
the grand jury to be empanneled, and
the calling of the docket and setting Of
cases for trial. The personnel Of the
grand jury selected by the board Of
supervisors at its last sitting is good
in every particular. That of the two
petit juries selected by Sheriff W0r-
rel to sit during the fret week
of the term, is equally good.
The community at large owe thanks to
the board and the sheriff for the selec-
tions made by them, and at the close
Of their respective duties, 1t is to be
wished that the two sets Of iuriss have
SO acted as to be entitled TO the same
thanks, The criminal docket is quite
large. Should the grand Jury return
many true bills it will become entirely
too large, unless the State forces trials
and in this way cuts it down, Much is
expected Of the judge, the district
attorney, the grand and petit
juries this term. A number Of
murder cases are on the docket.
They have been on 1t long while,
and trial of them should be had, and
justice meted out in each case. The
Jail is packed like sardines with prison
ers, who are held for trial. The frst
duty of the grand jury Is to take up
the Jail docket, investigate each case,
and return or ignore bills as each case
demands. It may be, in order to dis
pose of the great number ct capital
cases, and other serious felonies, that
the four weeks of the term is not
time enough; If so. then let q
special term belcalled to commence i'm
mediately after the close of the gem
eral term. The appeal cases alone, If
properly tried, would consume two Of
the four weeks. The murder cases
will require at least three weeks. The
felony cases of lesser grade are so nu.
merous that it will take at least two
weeks to dispose Of them by trial. To
continue them will take not two min
utes. We want trials, not continuances.
An era Of reform is demanded
by the people, They demand it Of the
Judge, the district attorney, the court
officers, and the grand and petit iuries.
Their demand will be needed. A dis
charge Of duty all along the line is in
order. Should our court try and the
juries convict in proper cases the peo.
pie will be satisfied, contra wise. not.
and their grumblings will continue.and
louder they'll grow. The violatora Of
the law may say that all this Is wrong
but naturally they are kickers.
