COL Q. W. MOULToN. of work on the
farm and in a store at Medina, O., and at
the age of 81 was admitted to the bar. Soon
after he entered on the practice at Mans
field, o., where he married Miss Frances
Sherman, sister of the future general and
senator.
When the war began he was living ut
Toledo, and was thence appointed captain
and quartermaster, remaining In that service
in West Virginia during McClellan's advance,
and afterward serving with Fremont, Rey-
nolds and Pope. In 1853 he was made lieu
tenant colonel and afterward colonel, and rs
such had charge of the Cincinnati depot of
supplies for the rest of the war, purchasing
for all the armies between the A~lleghanies
and Mississippi. When the war ended he
settled in Cincinnati as partner of Judge NJ.
II. Linden in law practice; and afterward
formed tho partnership of Moulton & Levy,
in which he remained till death. He became
very prominent in treasury cases, especially
those concerning tobacco and whisky frauds,
and in 1880 was the recognized manager of
the Sherman forces in the Chicago conven-
ton. He leaves one son, Sherman Moulton,
of New York city, and three daughters
Mrs. II. r. Probasco and Mrs. w. J. Halde-
man, of Cincinnati, and Mrs. Rockwell, wife
Of Capt. G. h. Rockwell, of the United States
army.

He Was an OGcor In tho Union Army
and n Figure In Politics.
Although tho prominent men of the civil
war period are fast passing away, especially
those thon prominent in civil life, the recent
death of Charles William Moulton is almost
the first break in that remarkable group
which includes the Shermans, Gen. Tom
Ewing, and some others-all closely related
by blood or marriage. While one Sherman
WINS on the bench, another in the senate, and
another commanding lOO, 900 men In the field,
one of their brothers-in-law, Con. Ewing, was
also in active service; another, Col. Moulton.

Tho material used in this magnet consisted
OF two great cannons, each weighing over
twenty tons, eight miles Of an old torpedo
boat cable and railroad iron. The guns were
placed side by side, the cable, consisting of
forty small insulated wires, was wound
around their muzzles and the breach of the
guns connected by steel rails. The armature
consisted Of fifteen steel plates, each 12 inch
thick and IL inches wide, or 80 square inches
cross section. Maj. King thinks the ar1mature
should have been twice as heavy. The cur
rent was supplied by q 20 arc light Weston
dynamo.
The experiments were not completed, owing
to the lateness of the season. Nevertheless
some remarkable results were attained. De
spite the want of volume of the Rrmature, and
the fact that there WINS not wire enough to
comply with the requirement, In this respect,
OF the theory, the power Of the great magnet
was found to be The accompa-
nytng Illustration shows four fifteen inch
shells suspended In line from one of the guns.
The power required to remove the keeper
when the current was on was 5000 pounds.
One holding a piece of iron In his hand five
or six feet distant from the poles could feel
the magnetic effect. A neutral point was
found to exist seven and one-half inches from
the face of the muzzle of each gun. Pieces
of wire were here projected outward, and
after reaching a point some two feet from
the muzzle, were drawn back again. Watches
were stopped when their wearers approached
near the magnet.
Epicurean Paris has given to the world n
new and striking invention. Ii is a regular
electric railway for the dining room table,
which does awny entirely with walters. The
invention, of which a cut is here shown, is
very ingeniously constructed, and is said to
work admirably. The track Is formed by
two pairs of parallel rails, which rest on
oaken bases. The two outer rails, on which
the eight wheels of the train run, ore isolated
from each other and connected with the in
ductor of the electric motor, whilo tho two
inner ones, on which small contact rolls

glide, connect the the source Of electricity-a
battery of twenty accumulators-with the
motor. Tho track is kept elevated over the
table by supports, at certain distances, and
tho room thus gained is utilized to stow away
glasses, salt cellars and other articles of table
service, The train consists of a platform
rs centimoters long and 90 contractors wid
The first truck carries the motor, while the
other is only added to give stability to the
whole. An ingenious system of switches en-
ables the host to set the train going in any
direction desired, and he can also ~instantane-
ously bring it to a standstill. From the kitch-
on or room where the food is prepared for
the table, the train passes through a tunnel
into the dining room and upon the table, di-
viding at the end of the latter into two sec
lions, which unite again at the other end,
thus obviating the necessity of a curve, which
would be impracticable on so limited a sur
face Tho train halts before every guest until
he has helped himself.
The legislature of the state of New York is
struggling with the problem of doing away
with the present Objectionable features of ex-
ecutions, and has hit upon electricity as the
most available agent to assist persons con-
demned to death out of this world. 1t is not

C,eyelsud's Luck.

Anyone who has had q misgiving lest
Providence Is not on the side Of the pres
ident must have 1t completely removed
by the fact that when the Chinese exclu-
sion bill comes before him for signature
he is relieved from any difficulty In
signing it by the news that China has re-
jected the treaty. So long % this was
pending it would have been wrong to un-
dertake to correct by law the evil which
thetreaty was intended to reform and we
believe that the president would have re-
fused his signature TO the bill while the
question Of the approval Of the treaty by
China remained open, although he would
have run great risk Of condemnation on
the Pacific coast for DO doing, the anti.
Chinese feeling being there % great.
The Republicans In Congress were
chuckling over the situation into which
they had got the president, and In which
he stood to lose whichever way he acted
Certainly the situation was not agreeable
but the difficulty has disappeared will
the news that China rejects the treaty
thus leaving the pre- ident free TO sigr
the law. 1t Is not the first time thai
fortune has smiled upon him ; and ir
truth he has been 30 conspicuously 1T
favorite that some people credit 1t as hi
creator. 1t Is not that, but they are evi
dcntly In alliance and none who be-
leve in luck will venture to wagel
against Clevelands success.

THE trade of little Costa Rics is Gil, ,OO0, 900
and nearly all OF It goes to England because
freight rates to the United States are almost
double ireights to England. Consul Wing.
neld in his last report says that two short
lines Of railway now built and the oonnect-
Ing link not yet finished, have just been
bought bya London company which has
also secured grant Of 800, 900 acres of land.
There is road twelve miles long on the
Pacific coast, but this purchase and the fact
that the steamship lines are British has
placed the entire country under the com.
msrcial control OF the English. The consul
urgently presses theimportsnce to America
OF activity Ia Costa Rica and considers It of
the utmost importance to the trade interests
Of the United States to have the road to the
Pacific completed and American lines OF

and commissions being paid through tie

ness, who enjoyed salary Of u 1900 a
year. His principals never inquired into his
transactions, and he had free foot to do
what he pleased. 1t happened to please
him to take the money and make out the
mortgages without going to the trouble
of consulting any landowner in the
premises, or bothering the recorder
to enter the mortgages. He did all the
signing, stamping and certifying himself I;
and took all the money. He had been at
