lative changes. made in 1886 vas to deprive
the courts Of the power to vacate patents as
incident to private suits, or a. part OF the ju-
dlcisl determination of private controversies.
The power Of the government to vacate pa
tents wrongfully issued under its seal was af-
nrmed in the very act Of entrusting its exer-
else to the courts in private litigation. The
logical inference from the renovation of that
trust is not . total surrender or abnegation
of the power, but an intention to keep il un-
der the immediate governmental control.
The existance Of the power implies the pos
sible occasion for its exercise. Legislation
which allowed the courts To exercise it de-
hnes what circumstances IN that view Con-
gress would make the occasion, and the chang
es made by the law of 1886 only seem
To indicate that the existAnce
OF occasion shall be brought to the notice of
the proper department OF the government and
exercise Of power involved. Surely ii the
power to vscste patent wrongfully issued
exists at ALL there need not be a statute to
provide mole OF its exercise. When
mode exists without statute or patent for
land 1t may tor good cause in a proper case
be vacated at a suit of the government with.
out statute, and there is no difference as to
the principle here involved between patent
for land and patent for invention.
The statement that President Cleveland
has decided that no answers shall be given to
the reqnests from the Senate for information
as to the reasons for removals OF suspensions
from Office 10 authoratively denied. No such
request has yet been addressed to the Presi-
dent by the Senate, Several communics-
tons have been sent to the chairman of the
Senate committee today from various execu-
tive departments offering any information
that might be in their possession if desired.

AN lNCANDESCENr LIGHT
On Exhibition at Cambridge, With an
Entirely New system.
BOSTON, Jan. Ia.

BOsroN, Jan. IA.
In Cambridgeport today there was exhibited
for the first time an entirely new system of
incandescent electric lighting The inven-
ton is that of Frederick Schaefer, young
German scarcely 80 years of years, who has
been supported in his experiments to their
completion by q number of wealthy German
citizens Of Boston. Some months ago there
was organized under the laws of the State of
Maine, a stock company for the purpose of
carrying on the business of lighting by cleo
tricity the incorporators being Germans in
terested in Schsefer's inv entions. These in
ventions have all been patented in this coun-
try, Canada. Mexico and Europe, and are en-
tirely novel in character as compared with
other systems now in use. All of the opera
tions of the company and of the inventor
have been carried on with the utmost secrecy
and todays exhibition was the first to which
outsiders have been admitted. The most
noteworthy feature of the new invention is
that the carbonized flament enclosed in the
incandescent lamp, is composed primarily of
a simple silk thread, which, when csrbonized,
remains as flexible platinum wire
These filaments, the inventor claims, have
been tested to last for over
2000 consecutive hours. Another peculiar
feature is that 10, 900 of these flaments can
be prepared in ten hours and the cost of their
preparation is trif1ing. Each lamp has
brilliancy of from Is TO 80 candle power and
a two horse power engine will drive the
dynamo to the minimum capacity for furn-
ishing 80 lamps Schsefer has also invented
dynsmos of a novel kind and has patents of
everything connected with the ineandescent
system, including globes, fastenings, attach
ments, switches, etc. In today's exhibition
250 lamps we're maintained by dynamo pro-
PEELED by l6 horse power. The lights were
white and of great brilliancy.
A plant has been in operation in Haverhill,
Mass, for several weeks as an experiment,
and it has proved entirely successful. The
organization is known as the "Schaefer
Electric Manufacturing Co., and has a capital
stock of Sl5O,00O, with power to increase the
same. The officers now are -
President-L Schlegelmlch.
Secretary and Treas Werner Malock.
Directors-L. Schlegelmilch, Henry p.
Veith, Ferdinand Schaefer, Peter Schell and
Frederick Schaefer, the latter being the
electrician of the concern.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Narrow Escape Of Passengers from a
Horrible Death.
LONG Branch. N. J.. Ian Ia

Lone BRANCH. N. j.. Jan. IA.
The north bound combination express on
the New York and Long Branch railroad was
thrown from the rails by broken switch,
2000 yards south of Matowsn, Thursday
morning. The cars were filled with New
York business men coming to their city office,
and Monmouth county lawyers and jurymen
on their way to the county seat. No one wss
seriously injured though many were bruised
and ladies were excited with fright
Their escape from \ horrible death was
nothing short of miraculous. A few feet be-
yond the point where the rails were broken, q
trestle bridge. 500 yards long stretched across
deep gulley. The baggage car of the Long
Branch section WAS first derailed but almost
Immediately jumped back upon the track.
The other cars after dropping down on the
ties ran across the bridge swapping the steel
rails into bits and tearing the wooden struct-
ure into splinters. The rear coach lost its
truck and was drawn long distance on its
floor beams. The scene in this coach as de-
scribed by passengers, was terrible The
engineer. finding it impossible to stop his
engine which was tearing at the rate of 80
miles an hour, saw that the only hope was to
increase the speed, he threw open the throttle
and prevented the cars from topping over
the trestle work. The cars swayed from side
to side but they were safely carried out of
danger. The only person injured was Capt
Warren of the Steamer St John, and his in
juries are not serious. The train crew was
the same which had charge of the train that
was thrown in Psrker's Creek in the summer
Of 'S3. This will be remembered as the dis
aster in which Gen. Grant was slightly in
jured aud a son Of G. X. Garrison was killed.

Wendall Foss, of Eaton, Who killed Har-
well Wentworth at Brow nfield, Ne, Jan. 4,
and was taken to the Carroll county Jail at
Ossipee to await requisition papers from Gov.
Currier of New Hampshire to carry him into
Maine, gave his fret confession today to an
Associated Press reporter in the presence of
Jailor Manson. He expressed his willingness
to have the public know the particulars, and
while apparently brooding over the crime he
had committed, yet he had not the slightest
idea that no would be hanged.
He considered it q hard situation for man
10 years of age to be placed in. He said his
wife had left his home and he started Mon
day Jan. 4 after her and his furniture with q
team. He went TO Samuel Wentworth's and
found his son in the ward He saw no one
else until Harwell Wentworth came out with
hie coat off and asked him what he wanted
and ordered him from the premises. He then
clnched him by the collar and pulled him
out of the sleigh, and TO defend himself he
took out his knife and tried TO prick his legs.
Foss got up and Wentworth started for
club. as did also Samuel Wentworth. both
coming towards him. He tried to get on the
sleigh, but did not succeed, His wife then
came out and said she would get ready and
go home with him. Then the Wentworth's
both laid down their clubs. Foss started
towards home, and Harvell passed by him,
but came back. Sam. Wentworth helped
them load the furniture Fo.s then vert to
Andrews house and delivered up the key,
when the man told HIM that Eva Wentworth
had gone by and returned with = physician,
and asked him if he had done anything. Foss
told him no. He then went to Eaton and
found his wife there. Neither he nor his
wife knew what had been done until he was
arrested Wednesday.
1t appears that the murder was committed
when Foss took out his knife and cut cash
three inches long in the lower part of his
bowels, which caused his death the follow
ing day.
Foss was at one time man Of considera-
able property. but he lost it, and when his
wife left him he claimed that the Wentworths
were the cause of it.

j. ID. Decelle, who served as marshal while
Andrews was out, has been paid the regular

Andrews claiming that he was the legal mar
shall all that time. Judge Goddard made
long opening, reciting the history Of the case
substantially as above The city clerk pro-
duced the records OF the dongs of the city
government.
At the afternoon session the defence was
opened Most of the time was taken up in
the examination of the city clerk and Mr..
Decelle, who was marshal during the time
that Andrews was illegally deprived of office.
During that time Andrews received $495 tor
services in the Portland & Ogdensburg office,
snbtracted from the damages claimed. The
evidence closed. The arguments will be
made tomorrow.
