The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELECTRrCITY.

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes; all efforts of inventors have
been directed to construct 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 Alachin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is 10 refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
Of lighting will be as cheap as gas Il cents
per hour, and it has before the latter the I'M
mensc 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 ALSO
lutcly inodorous, and does not need To be
kindlcd by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of lire, explosion or suiiocation, as in the case
Of gas, if the key is LEFT open and il must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu-
able Ii is further preferable to any known
kind of lighting for the following reasons
| ~ Its manipulation is so simple that any
| child can keen il in order.

Ned BuntIine Dead.

STAMFORD, DELAWARE COUNTY, N.
Y, July l7.-Edward u. G. Judson
cNed Buntline'D the story writer,
died of heart disease at his home
here yesterday afternoon. He was
Ga years ofage. When 10 years old
he entered the Government service
as an apprentice on board a man.of-
war. A year later President Van
Buren, sent him commission rs
midshipman for meritorious conduct
in rescuing the crew Of a boat run
down by Fulton ferry-boat on the
East river. Young Judson was as
signed to the Levant. Other mid
shipmen refused to mess with him
because he had been common sail
or before the mast, and while on the
way to join the gulf squadron he
challenged thirteen of them to fight.
Some withdrew their refusal and as
sociated with him, but he fought
seven of them, one after another in
Florida, New Orleans and Havana,
escaping without scratch himself,
but marking four of his antagonists
for life. From that time on his rep
utation as one of the best shots in
the United States was established.
Ned Buntline probably carried more
wounds in his body than any other
living American. He had in his
right knee bullet received in Vir-
GINA and had twelve other wounds
inflicted by sword, shell and gun,
seven of which were got in battle
He was not educated for the army
and navy The title of Colonel
came to him as Chief Of Scouts in
the Rebellion 1868.
His first story, The Captains
Pog,' was published in the Knsck.
erbocker Magazine under the pseu.
donym Of Ned Buntline, in 1888,
when in his fifteenth year. This
sketch brought notoriety to the
young writer and fighter, who sub
sequently received as high as $50,
600, year for the produce Of his
brain and pen. For many years
his income as a story writer brought
him $4,000 annually. He once
earned $4,000 in six weeks, and al
another time, under pressure, wrote
book of 610 pages in sixty-two
hours, scarcely sleeping or eating
during that time,

Startled by a Meteor.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 20.--Peo-
pie in the vicinity of Grafton, Ozau-
kee county, are very much excited
over the fall of q meteor near that
place. While party of harvesters
were at work one afternoon in bar
ley field on the farm of Henry Died
rick, mile and a half south of the
village, they were suddenly startled
by loud and strange-sounding noise,
not unlike the roar of long train of
cars. The noise increased in volume
to such a degree, during the space of
only few seconds, as to become al
most deafening. The unusual sound
seemed to come from the heavens,
and, gazing upwards, the spectators
saw what appeared to be huge ball
of smoke rapidly descending to the
earth. What they took to be strange
visitor from some neighboring world
was meteor. It struck the earth
within few rods of where the men
were standing, and buried itself deep
in the ground. The nows spread rap
IDLY throughout the township and
county, since which time Mr.. Died
rick's barley field has been visited by
hundreds Of people, including many
scientific men. The hole in the
ground is three or four feet in cir
conference. Its depth is unknown,

ing long poles having, it is sid. pro
we'd futile Mr.. Diedrick is now en-
gagged in excavating the earth around
the spot where the meteor lies imbed-
ded, and intends to bring the latter
to the surface if it takes all summer.

A Horrible Fate.

CINCINNATI, July 20.--A sad case
Of restitution and neglect has been
brought before DIR. Winn, the health
officer of the Sixth ward. Some four
or five days ago young woman about
nineteen years old applied at the Ed
gar House, on Court street, for q
nights lodging. She gave her name
as Minnie Davis, and was shown to
room. This was on Tuesday night.
The proprietor, one James Warning,
paid no further attention to the I'M
fortunate young woman, and claimed
that he did not know she was there
when found three days later.
Her condition was then most pitia
BILE. Not a morsel of food had passed
her lips for three whole days, and al
ready suffering from dissipation her
illness took sudden turn and threw
her into delirium tremens. Her suf-
ferings can best be imagined. Her
appearance was that of a horrible APP
partition when found, and the room
itself sent forth so foul and sickening
an odor that her existence itself was
almost miraculous. The poor crea-
ture was taken to the hospital, where
her wants are being attended to,

a high ledge. After a heavy blast,
three of them, namely, Milroy Ten
ney, Mr.. Wright and VIM. Turner
(colored) jumped down upon the
ledge where the blast had been shot,
when 1t gave way, and fell something
near thirty feet, with them, but did
not turn. The smaller rock follow
ing, fell upon Tenney and Wright,
bruising them up pretty badly.
Turner grabbed at the ledge MS the
rock started, and saved himself from
falling, but had to let 90 and Jump.
He is said to have turned over in
the fall, but lit on his feet without
injury. No bones were broken, but
Tenney and Wright were badly
bruised and cut by the falling rock.
A somewhat unique fight took
place last Sunday morning, near
Braxton G. H., between Mrs. Vir-
ginia Long, 200.pound Amazon,
and Rominus Ray, feather.weight
specimen OF the male sex. The row
was occasioned by a dispute over
some fruit growing on a farm occu-
pied by Ray, Mrs. Long laying
claim to the stuff. Ray at last turn
ed to 60 into the house for writ
ten contract, with which to settle
the trouble, when Mrs. Long picked
up a large rock and struck Ray on
the shoulder. Ray turned and
seized the woman. and furious
fight ensued, in the course OF which
Ray found that Mrs. Long was too
much for him, and sought safety in
ignominiouslnight, leaving the female
master of the field. Mrs. Long then
had Ray arrested upon charge Of
assault with intent to kill, but upon
q hearing ii was demonstrated that
Ray came nearer getting killed than
killing any one, and the case was
dismissed.
