INVENTOR EDISON.
He Will Try to Do Away with Wire
i'm TeIegraphing.

NEW YORK, July 27.-Thomas A. Edi-
prosecuting an investigation into the di-
rection and force of earth currents of cleo
tricity with a view of their utilization in
telegraphy and also as a source of power
for motive purposes. He is going to Flor
ida again shortly. having noticed upon his
recent bridal trip that the ground there is
sandy and peculiarly free from metallic
minerals. There he proposes to arrange
eight artificial currents radiating from a
central point, with man at each circuit to
test the power of the currents. There are
currents of electricity passing all the time
through the earth; their directions however,
are unknown. 1t is well known that if
an earth current crosses a wire at right
angles there is but little if any appreciate
effect made upon it, The greatest power is
felt where the wire and currents run in
parallel directions. The discovery of the
directions of the lines upon which the
greatest disturbance occurs will thus give
chart of the earth currents, upon
the basis of which further ex-
periments can be undertaken. The Aurora
BorealiS is known to be but visible
manifestation of the earth currents. Edi-
son claims to have run telegraph wire for
six hours ON the indications of direction
furnished by one of these displays
when in Boston. If he had had rod run
ming to New York then, he says he could
have furnished electric power enough to
run all the machinery in Boston. Hehopes

with wires and make it possible to forecast

New HAVEN, Conn.,, July 2S.-Edward
Butler was sent to Jail for breach of the
peace against his wife, who from brutality
and other troubles has become raving
maniac. Seldom has more shocking tale
of brutality been revealed in Connecticut
court. At midnight, while her baby was
dying, her husband in his drunken frenzy
was creating a disturbance in the house,
utterly regardless of his child's sufferings.
Mrs. Butler had her husband arrested, and
her mind gave way during the night from
her troubles. From evening until morn
ing she passed night of unparalleled
horror and she roamed wildly about her
tenement, and among the people in the
house, and told them that four policemen
had come to arrest her husband and that
because he wouldn't go with them they
pulled out huge knives and murdered him.
Then she shrieked that men were chasing
her to kill her also and she imagined that
the closets of the house were filled with
murderers. Finally she crawled out through
one of the basement windows and ran
away. She was captured by an officer after
long search Her infant lay OH rude ia

uouu,ed Sword Combat

The mounted sword contests at Calhoun
park, Lake Calhoun, this afternoon and
evening between Duncan c. Ross and
Sergt. Charlef Walsh, promises to be one
OF the most hotly contested matches of this
description that has ever takrn place. 1t
will be for the championship medal, which
is now held by Ross. Both men are conf
dent, and it would be hard task to name
the winner. Walsh says he will fight hard
to win, as he wishes to carry the cham
pionship to Europe with him. to which
place he goes about the middle of August.
He declares he will unhorse Ross if the
opportunity presents itself. That these
combats afford great amusement and are
very exciting is evident from the large
crowds that have attended them all over
the country. At San Francisco Is, 600 peo-
pie is considered a small crowd. Recently
at Chicago Is, 600 people witnessed one of
these combats. The beauty of the contests
lies in the fact that there are no objection
able features, and ladies and children at
tend them in large numbers.

Thee Association Wants ss,ee5.75.

The Minneapolis MlllerS' association has
commenced an action against j. G. Downey
and E. III. Darrow. to recover So, 665.75,
alleged to be wrongfully held by the plain
tiffs. The complaint sets forth that on or
about Oct. IA, 1885, the association en-
ployed the defendants for the purpose of
purchasing wheat at Clontarf, this state,
and that the association gave them large
sums of money with which to carry on the
business and that they have in their posses
sion and refuse to turn over to the associa-
ton So, 565.57 belonging to it. The trouble
arose in this way. BY the terms of con
tract the defendants were to keep the
wheat insured for its full value, but in
stead of so doing they had insured it for
but $4,000. On July Is, 1886. large
amount of the wheat was destroyed by fire.
