SCENES AND INCIDENTS,

The ketchum Juvenile Band was
warmly praised and frequently ap
plauded during the day. This was
amply deserved, as they played as
often and as we'll as much older and
more experienced musicians could
have done; but they must be the sick
est lot of lads ever seen on Wood
River, to day, as several OF them com
planned of severe headaches and
swollen lips, long before they felt at
liberty to leave for home. 1t was
after l o'clock this morning when
they did leave. Mr. Montgomery,
their leader, has right to be proud
of them, since in less than four
months they have made such progress
as to be able to make very credita-
BILE showing even when playing with
the trained musicians of the Haley
Band.
The latter also fairly out'lid them
selves, and eyinced that they could
now hold their own with any similar
organization.
c. V. Haupt wears an arm in a
sling, to-day. Some rockets exploded
in his hand, last night, decorating it sc
badly that he was unable to play witt
the Delius orchestra, at the Firemen's
ball.
A better-behaved crowd than tina,
in HALEY yesterday could not have
been got together anywhere. No
an arrest was made, and no fights
occurred-not even when the variou
games and horses were decided b,
the Judges.

who resorted to the expedient of
Swapping to his legs strips of old
rubber boots with long tacks driven
through them. These enabled him to
reach and capture the purse, which
contained 81 in silver coins.
The Ward troupe proved no incon-
sideable factor in the celebration.

DENVER, March l9.-Insane jealousy of
Charles Sweigart German, about 40 years
of age, was the cause of tragedy about noon
to-day, which resulted in the murder of Geo
krener, and the suicide of Sweigart The lat
ter was divorced from his wife, two years

siding in | tab He returned from there this

THE TELEPHONE SUIT.
THE SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS The
BELL PATENT.
All Suits in the Telephone Cases Have Been
Decided in Favor Of BeII-An Escaped
Convict the Murderer Of SMELL

WA,nlNGroN. March lq-The supreme
court at noon began delivering its opinion in
the celebrated ease against the Bell telephone
patent The court sustains the Bell patent.
both for process and for apparatus. In con-
-dcring the question of alleged anticipation
Of Bells invention 10y the telephone of Refs in
Germany, the court holds that Refs discovered
the means of transmitting musical tones and
nothing more. Bells patent being for the
process or art of transmitting speech, would
have been just a. valid even if they had used
the apparatus Of Refs for developing it. The
court holds that the apparatus of Refs was
not successful in transmitting speech and
his invention was not in any respect all antic-
pation o the discovery which was
made 10y Bell. All points in the tele-
phone cases have been decided in
favor of Bell, including points set up in the
claims of Refs, Nandcrweyle and Draubaugh,
Justice Batch ord, in reviewing the Drau-
baugh case, holds that the force of testimony
showing that Draubaugh had a telephone in
use before the invention of Bell is com
pletcy broken by his own conduct and the
Indifference which he manifested in regard
to his alleged invention until years after
Bells telephones were known to the whole
w rid. The Draubaugh claim is declared to
be unsustaincd Justice Bradley read an
able opinion dissenting from the decision of
the court. Justices Field and Harlan also
dissent and Justices Gray and Lamar did
not SIT in the case The Bell patents are
therefore, sustained by majority of the court,
landing four to three. Justice Blatchford,
in reviewing the charge of fraud and col
fusion in the patent office by means of which
Bell is alleged to have obtained surreptitious
information in regard to the invention of his
rival and then amended his own specifications,
holds that there was not the slightest evidence
to support this charge or cast reflection upon
the integrity of Bell or his attorneys. The
dissent of Justices Bradley, Field and Harlan
is based upon the Draubaugh claim. These
three justices are of the opinion that the
evidence overwhelmingly shows that Drau
baugh was the first inventor of a speaking
telephone, although he was unconscious of it
and was not aware of its Importance.

The Emperors condition Critical

BERLIN, March, l9.-Serious reports CON
corning the emperor's condition are again in
circulation. The cmpcror's dependency,
which has been increased by the change from
the blue sky of san Reno to the severe frost
and deep snow of Berlin, causes great anxiety.
Although he can speak, his voice is so thick
and husky and pronunciation of yowels so
imperfect that only those who have been cor
stantly with him such as The empress and DIR.
Mckenzie can understand. Chaplain Moegcl,
af err reading service for Empress Augusta in
the palace yesterday morning, went to Char
Gutenberg to o1iciate at services for the
whole imperial family in the castle chapel.
The emperor walked straight in trailing his
Grape cloak, by the side Of the empress, but sat
during the entire service. Dr. Mocgel's
touching sermon drew many tears. There Is
still foot Of snow on the ground and it il
impossible then for the emperor to venture
out. Whenever DR.. Mackenzie takes exercise
in the garden Of the palace he is followed at
the desire Of the Empress Victoria by a
couple Of detectives.

From Hubbard City.

HUBBARD CITY, March, lS.--During the
few days OF fair weather, farmers have done
much work. Early vest, rlay evening, the
barometer indicated rain, and to-day at 3 p.
m, with winds from the south, rain began
to fall and has continued steadily to this
time, + p. m, with prospects of continuing
all night. The oat crop has been injured and
delayed. All sandy lands were in tine con
dition for work up to the present RAIN but it
has so far been impossible to do any work Of
Importance on the black lands. The last rain
killed more cattle in Hill county than the
entire winter cold, and as consequence the
market is full of hides of inferior quality.
owing to the condition of the cattle from
which they We're taken.

A DRUMMER ARRESTED.
George IT. Walker of Houston Ar
rested on Indictment for Swim


George L. walker OF houston Ar
rested on Indictment for Swim
ding in Waller County.
The detective office of Hall 81 Wal
Ter have been on the lookout for sew
ersl days for Geo. II. Walker, and
finding that he was at the st. Jacobs
hotel gave the warrant for his arrest
into the hands of Deputy Sheriff Ford
who made the arrest Immediately.
Walker, who is fine looking man
with every appearance OF a gentle
man, attempted to give bond but
failed and was placed in jail. The
charge against him was swindling aud
last year Sheriff Lanham, of Coryell,
arrested him on information from
Waller county. He was given pre-
liminary trial before justice of the
peace and he was released. Then he
filed suit against Lanham in the de-
trict court of this county for false i'm
prisonment, since that time the grand
jury of Waller county brought III an
indictment against him for swindlipg.
