An exhibition Of the practical working O.
the Edison system OF t~clegraphing Sbetweer
moving trains and fixed stations was given
on Friday the 18th inst. on q special train,
run for that purpose by the Chicago,
Milwaukee d st. Paul company from
Chicago to ilwaukee and return, leavingChi-
cago at10:30a a. m. About two hundred in
yited guests were aboard, comprising Off
cialso tb7 railroads entering Chicago, Off
GERS. lessricians OF the telegraph companies
and numerous representatives OF the press.
Before leaving Chicago each passenger wrote
a telegram which he addressed to himself
and handed to a collector who PASSED
through the train, keeping a duplicate for
comparison. The messages thus picked
up were transmitted by the Morse system
to Wadsworth, n station midway between
Chicago and Milwaukee, where the dupli-
cate set oil instruments and c~ondensers
had been located. From there they were
telegraphed by the induction sys tenn to
he operator on the train. which was
ing at the rate OF thirty-five miles perhour.
There was no interruption in the working
Of the system from the time the train left
the Chicago yards until it arrived In Mil
waukee, and the messages as delivered on
the train we're found TO be correct. The
same may be said OF the return trip. The
instruments used appear quite simple, con-
sisting Of an induction coil four inches in
length, an inch and q half in diane
ter, to one end OF which is affixed
a metallic diaphragm, on which is a
vibrating armature. Connected with this
is a light key for sending, this being be-
tween the vibrator and battery. The bat
terry used going ia Milwaukee consisted OF
t~wenty-four cells OF Fdiier. On the return
trip this was reduced. From the metallic
roof of the car a wire passed down to two
phonetic receivers. which are very similar
TO the end of a telephone receiver, being
cup-shnped, and are fastened over each ear
by straps, and the vibrations coming into
them are read by the operator.
From the two receivers the wire passes
through the car floor to the axles OF the
trucks, thus forming u ground connection
and completing the circuit from the wire
outside. The battery, 1T is claimed, is
used only from the key to the vibrator,
the passage from there to the roo and to
the wires being accomplished by the mys-
terious process called induction. There
were four wires on the poles. which
were at an average distance OF thirty
feet from the track. At the station
the Edison instrument was connected with
all these wires to guard against an inter
ruption by the failing of any one. The use
OF the four wires in ~interchanging messages
had no effect on the Morse operators at
the regular stations, and the Edison men
could find no difference between the use OF
four and one. They claim that the only
thing liable to trouble them is where. the
telegraph line gets more than fifty feet away
from the track.

A dispatch from Carrolton, Miss, says:
Some weeks ago two negroes attempted to
assassinate j. NJ. Liddell, Jr., O prominent
citizen, infiicting several wounds. The
negroes engaged in this attempt are known
to be the most defiant and lawless Ia the
county, and since the attempt on Mr.. Lid
dell's life have been more openly defiant
han ever. For some reason not known
they swore out a warrant a few days ago
for Mr.. Liddell's arrest. 1t was at this
trial that the killing occurred. The negroes
present were mostly armed. About 1
o'clock a party of armed men, some forty
or fifty, rode up to the court house.
They ~dismounted, and entering the
building, at once commenced firing on
the negroes with the above result.
They then returned by the same
route they came. They do not live near
Carrolton. At the trial about twenty
men, well mounted and each carrying a
Winchester rifle, came %galloping up and
surrounded the court house. They then
fired into the building, instantly killing ten
negroes and %wounding three Others, so that
they died soon alter, and with the excep-
tion OF n few who escaped through a win
dow, all the other negroes in the building
were wounded, some OF them seriously.
The trouble between Liddell and the ne
groes occurred three weeks ago. Liddell
had interfered in a row between two me-
groes and afterward heard the crowd ours
ing him. He walked up to them and in
quired why they were abusing him. An al
tercation ensued and a number OF shots
were fired, Liddell being severely wounded.

Plea for Justice.

Citizens OF Ramsey and other Dakota
counties in the boundaries OF the Turtle
Mountain Indian reservation nave adopt.
ed a memorial to congress-, in regard to the
suspension by Commissioner Sparks OF
public land surveys in that district.
After citing the commissioners action,
the nlemoralists state:
Nearly all of the fourteen counties repre-
sented have been duly organized, and cor
tain %, 900 people who have settled there
since the precipitation OF the presidents
order in October, 1882, opening that
region to settlement. These people have
paid, or obligated themselves to pay, to
the United States for entries on lands in
the DEVILS Lake district $S0S, S72. The
settlers are poor, and to pay this amount
and make improvements have incurred or
will incur obligations to tho extent OF
50, 900, 600, and it win be nearly two
years before any return can be
had from the land. There are now
over three thousand settlers living in
this region upon unsuryeyed lands, aud the
suspension of surveys threatens them with
utter ruin. In going npon those lands they
have simply followed a custom that has ex-
listed nearly a century, and had a right to
expect the speedy survey OF the lands. The
memorial enumerates the many ha rdships
which will result from the continued en-
f~orcenent of the order, such as the check
OF business, immigration. etc., and earnest
ly urges upon congress speedy action to
determine whether or not the Turtle Noun
tain Indians have or ever had any title TO
the country, ard il so To take measures to
extinguish it. In the meantime it solemnly
protests against any action looking to the
closing OF the land Office in this district, or
the withdrawal OF any OF the lands from
settlement withis the reservation; and Pc
titions that measures be taken to cause
the work OF surveying to be esumed
Your memorialists, = says the document,
consider that, inasmuch as they are not
trespassers here, but came In good faith to
make their homes and purchase the lands,
upon the invitation Of the government,
they ought not to be made to suffer any
loss or injury II the government has com
mitted a mistake"

Queer Practices in England.

London Special: Quite a deal OF excite
ment in religious circles has been caused by
the columns OF correspondence which have
appeared in the Daily Telegraph, drawn
out by the assertion oil an anonymous cor
respondent in a religious paper that the
so-called Sunday school ~soirees, which are
Il regular feature OF the many churches, are
immoral in their effects. The I'M
known critic alleges that at all the
~soiree's kissing games are indnlged in
for hours among The youths OF BIO tn sexes.
A number OF Sunday school teachers have
written to the Telegraph confirming this
statement. Some defend the practices re-
ierred TO and claim that they furnish an
attraction not only harmless, but without
which the Sunday school would be deserted.
This statement has aroused the wrath and
denial OF other church people. and so
the controversy zoe on. laany
OF those who admit the existence
OF this feature of the s~oirees, deplore 1t, and
declare that dire moral results have some
times been discovered TO result from it.
One or the effects OF the discussion has been
to bring out the fact that similar practices
to the one in question are carried on at a
majority OF the meetings OF the temperance
organizations. known rs the Band ofHope,
and also at Good Templar meetings.

important omceg Filled.

The president has sent the following
nominations To the senate:
William M. Trenholm, South Carolina,
now civil service commissioner, controller
OF the currency in the place OF Henry w.
Cannon, resigned; John H. 0berly, Illinois,
civil service commissioner, in the place OF
William \. Trenholm; Charles Lyman, Con-
necticut, now chief examiner OF the civil
service commission, civil service commits
sioner in the place OF Dorman b. Eaton,
resigned.
The president said that the three men
named were selected without recommended
tions, and solely on his own personal
knowledge OF their character and capacity.
MIR. Trenholm is fifty years of age and
while in private life was a. commission mer-
chant III Charleston. S.. 9. He is a son OF
the treasurer of the Confederate states and
was first brought into prominence by his
addresses on silver before nationals bankers
conventions and his writings on the same
question. He was appointed civil service
commissioner on Nov. 4, 1885.
Mr.. Lyman was born in Connecticut and
served in the Federal army during the late
rebellion, being q captain. In May, 1884,
he was appointed to a clerkship in the
treasury departmentsand held that posi-
| ton until made chief examiner of the civil
service commission upon the organization
of that body.
John III. Oberly is one OF the best-known
politicians OF Illinois. lie is in the prime
OF life, and has served as chairman oil the
democratic committee Of his state. Last
year President Cleveland appointed him
superintendent OF Indian schools, in which
Office he has made a good record.

GERS.

1850
Washington Special: The president has
made an Endorsement upon the proceedings
OF a recent court martial that win attract
attention in the army. Capt. Smith OF the
Nineteenth infantry forwarded a complaint
OF unjust treatment to the secretary OF war
direct, without sending it through the head
quarters OF his commanding officer, against
whom he entered the complaint. For this
he was tried and sentenced TO be dismissed
by a court of which Col. A. c.. Brockett, OF
the Third cavalry, was president. After
examining the record, President Cleveland
Endorsed it as follows;
Executive Mansion, March 8, 1SS6.-The
sentence awarded Capt. Smith in the fore
going case is remitted. But the president
deems il TO be his duty to notice the breach
Of propriety and military discipline ON the
part OF Capt. Smith, and TO reprimand him
for his misconduct in forwarding directly
to the war department the papers of re-
monstrance. His reasons for so doing are
insufficient, and the suspicious upon which
he acted had no foundation in TACT. On a
careful examination OF the proceedings the
president is forced TO the conclusion that
the most prominent fact in this case
is a sad exhibition OF official inn
propriety on the part OF the judge advo
cate OF the court, whose disregard OF the
duties OF his important office led him to
appear in tho several characters OF ON
plainant, prosecutor, witness and adviser
OF the court. 1t appears in the evidence
that from the beginning of the former trial
TO the conclusion Of the present trial a feel
ing OF bitter hostility existed between the
judge advocate and the accuced, which
fact is made the more prominent by
the voluntary admission OF the judge
advocate that he himself preferred
the gravest charge in the speciica-
tions, the only one ~imputing direct false.
hood against the accused. The Judge adj
vocate was manifestly disqualified and IN
capable OF properly discharging his duties
OF Judge advocate because OF the interest
which he took in the conviction OF the ac-
cused. For this reason he should nave re-
quested relief from a duty which he could
not perform in justice to himself, the ac-
cused and the service.

career of a Robber and Murderer.

In On interview at Chicago, Detective Matt
Pinkerton details the career OF young
Henry Estee, now under arrest for the
murder Of two policemen at Geneva. The
young man was well connected, but had
the strange ambition to become a highway
man and general desperate. He began his
life OF crime when but eighteen, since which
time he has served four and q half years in
Iowa and Missouri penitentiaries and
Others for burglary and other crimes.
Nevertheless he preserved a good reputa-
ton at home. His lawless acts have been
performed under the Alias OF Harry Elmer
son. AT Geneva, Estee's resid ence, he, in
company with two crooks named Larkin
and Mohahan, was caught by q couple Of
policemen robbing a dwelling. The officers
were shot dead in their tracks, and the
crimo would probably have forever re-
manned a mystery but for Estee's desire to
attain notoriety. In order to join a sup
posed gang Of cut-throats he attempted to
prove himself entitled to fellowship by
n~arrating his connection with the tragedy
in Geneva. The members OF the gang were
simply detectives Swallowing him, M the
sequel was Estee's arrest for murder.

Gen. Oliver Otis Howard was born in
Maine, on Nov. s, 1880, and graduated at
Bowdoin college in 184S. He entered the
military academy at West Point in 1850,
graduating in 1854 fourth in his class. He
sentered at once upon active service as
second lieutenant OF ordnance in the Florida
wa against the Seminole Indians.
Shortly afterward he was recalled to West
Point to assume the duties OF assistant
professor OF mathematics, which position
he held until the commencement ofthe war
OF the rebellion. In June, 1861, he was
given command of the Third Maine Volun-
teer infantry, having resigned his position
in the regular army, and in September the
same year was made brigadier general OF
volunteers, on account OF his g~allantry at
the first battle OF Bull run. lie took part
in the campaign in the Peninsula,
under Mcclellan. and at Fair Oaks
had two horses shot under him, and vas
twice wounded, losing his right arm.
His conduct duri g the campaign resulted
in his promotion TO be major general OF
volunteers. On reco vering from his wounds
he returned to active duty in season to
take part in the second affair ut Bull Run,
and ut Antietam two months later, he
commanded a division. AS commander OF
the Eleventh corps, he participated in the
battles OF fredericksburg and Chancellors-
vile, and at Gettysburg, after the death OF
Reynolds and until the arrival OF Gen.
Hancock in the field was in command OF
the army. 1t was n critical period, requir
ing tirmness and judgment, and the work
showed that Gen. Howard was equal
to the task. For his conduct
at the inception OF the fight and during
the remainingtw two days o. the conflict, he re-
ceiveJ the thanks Ofconpress. In the fall OF
1863 he was transferred to the west, arriv-
ing at Chattanooga in season to take part
in the battles OF Lookout Mountain and
Mission Ridge. The next year he was in
command ofthe Fourth corps in the army OF
the Cumberland, and vas in the engagements
at Dalton, Resaca, and Kenesaw mount
ain. In July, 1864, he was given charge
of the army OF the Tennessee, consisting
OF the Seventeenth and Twentieth army
eor,s, and after the fall Of Atlanta accom-
panied Gen. Sherman in his famous march
to the sea, his command forming the right
wing OF the invading army. At the close OF
the war Gen. Howard was made commits
lsioner OF the freedmen's bureau, md acted
in that capacity until 1872, when he was
appointed special COMMISSIONS OF Indian
affairs. which position he held only O short
time. He WAS then given, command oil
the department OF the Columbia, and
subsequently, OF the department OF West
Point. In 1881 he was transferred to the
department OF the Platte. which command
he now holds, his headquarters being at
Omali, Seb. Besides his rank as brigadier

for seeds, not only from congressman but
from agriculturists throughout the country.
At present there are ITO persons employed
in putting up and mailing seeds Of I'll kinds.

upon it. The seeds being sent out this
spring are said to be Of on un-
usually, good quality. An opinion
rartment will supply farmers with all the
seed they want for the purpose OF raising
crops, and not ~infrequently demands are
made for several bushels OF seed by the

between Williams ard Mrs. Norris, who
was quite young and a very fascinating
woman. Her alleged husband, q sporting
man, claims to have discovered Williams
IN hia wilc's apartment, and the matter

b Enter an Express Car on the
Rock Island Railway aud Brutally Stay
the Messenger, After q Fierce Struggle.
One OF the most daring and bloody ex.
press robberies ever perpetrated in Illinois
occurred on the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific west-bound express on the LIZ inst,
between Joliet and Norris. The facts,
as learned from the baggageman, are that
shortly after the train, which leaves Joliet
at 1915 a. m, had left the city, he heard a
rapatthe baggage eardoor. Thinkingit was
the express m .ssenger, he opened the door,
and was met by masked robbers, who COW
cred him with revolvers and demanded his
Key TO the express car. The key was given
up and one robber, who was on top OF the
express car, held a revolver on the baggage
man through IL tranSom in the roof OF the
car, while his confederates turned their at
tention to the express car. 1t is thought
they raped on the express car door and in
formed the messenger, ii. S. Nichols, that
the baggageman wanted to get in. At any
rate, the express car door was opened and
the desperadoes entered. Then occurred one
OF the most bloody and desperate strug
giles ON record. Being confronted by the
murderous Williams, the messenger fought
for his lie, and the property in his trust.
The interior OF the express car shows that
he fought the robbers from one end OF the
car to the other, but at last the murder.
Gus blows they rained ON his head with an
iron poker forced him to succumb, and ne
was lett dead in the car. The robbers ri
fled his pockets OF 1.-THE keys TO the safe, which
they robbed OF all its contents, variously
estimated at from $25, 900 to 800.
600. Checks and valuable packages
not containing money they left
scattered about the floor. Nothing vas
known OF the occurrence until the train
reached Morris, the first stop west OF here
except the coal chute where the train stop
ped to take on coal.
Nichols was a brave and trusted employee
OF the company. He was aboutforty years
OF age and had spent twenty years with the
company, being one OF the oldest employees
running OF. road out of the city. Mr..
Nichols was a married man, but had no
children.
h dead messenger was a married man and
lived ut Chicago. He has been in the serv.
ice OF the United States Express company
about ten years, and was one OF their most
trusted employees. Where the robbers
boarded the train is as yet mere specula-
ton. Conductor Wagner does not remem.
Der having seen any suspicious characters
aboard last night. The general opinion is
that the gang got on the train at the coal
chute, two miles west of Joliet, and jump
ed off just before the train reached Morris.
