The Iowa Congressman Blocks the
Passage of the Union Pacific
Funding Bill.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The time of
the house was largely taken up to-day
in successful efforts by Mr.. Anderson,
of Iowa, to prevent the passage of the
Union Pacific funding bill under sus-
pension of the rules. Mr.. Anderson
introduced bill for the regulation of
railroads acquired by the United States
under judicial forfeiture. He demanded
its reading in full. For two hours the
clerk continued to read the bill, when
Mr.. Belmont, of New York, on ques-
tion of privilege presented the confer
ence report OH the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, and it was
agreed to. The conference report on
the bill authorizing the Mis-
pany to build bridge across
the Mississippi river at Natchez was
agreed to, as was the conference report
on the legislative appropriation bill.
Unsuccessful efforts were made to Sc
cure unanimous consent for the consld-
Grafton of the dependent pension and
Nicaragua canal bill. When the read
ing of the Anderson bill was concluded
Mr.. Anderson Immediately introduced
bill establishing municipal code for
the District of Columbia. The bill
made a volume of 321 pages, and it's
reading was demanded. Further efforts
were made to secure the consideration
of other bills, but they proved unsuc-
cessful, and when it was seen that the
filbustering would continue for the rest
of the afternoon the house at 800 ad-
iourned.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 2.-There
were many visitors to-day at the Harri-
son residence, including Gen. West, of
California, and Gen. George Manning,
of Tennessee. Messrs. Cheney, of New
Hampshire; Allen, of Maine, and Phil
lips, of New York members of the COM
mittee on notification, appointed at Chi
cago, are in the city waiting the coming
of the remainder of the committee, who
will arrive tomorrow. Gen. Harrison
has received warm congratulatory
letter from Senator Sherman. IEas-
much as it has been asserted that the
Ohio senator was in an unpleasant
frame of mind over his defeat at Chi
cago and the success of the Indiana can
didate, the letter proves to be of more
than usual political interest. The let
ter is full of friendship to Gen. Har-
rison and expresses warmly an inten-
ton to support the ticket.

CHICAGO, July 3.-Tne mystery sur

ton Aldrich Brown, said to be possessed
OF tWenty-three wives, has been practi-

nounced his willingness to leave his cell
at the Armory and accompany Detect
i've Myler to Detroit, without waiting
for the fOrmality of requisition papers.
His decision was brought about by
visit from wife 81, whose name is May
Burnell, and whose conversation con.
vinced Mr.. Brown that no prosecution
in Detroit would be more vigorous than
one headed by her in Chicago.

source, and you may be sure L will avail
myself of it,"
''You will not commit suicide?''
'Yes, sir. l would. I.would rather do
1t a hundred times than be sent to
prison for no crime"
The first known of Browns blgamous
tendencies was in 1885, when he, all
ready possessed of at least one living
wife, married Miss Ida Kelly, pretty
young woman living on Jefferson ave-
nue., Detroit. This was in the fall of the
year, and a few months later he deserted
her and went to MuSkegon, Mich,
where he was married in January, 1886,
to a lady of that towu, whose name can
not be aScertained. Miss Kelly followed
him and caused his arrest when he was
sent from court at Saginaw to the pen
itentiary at Jackson, where he served
nine months, and during his term of i'm
prisonment made an unsuccessful at,
tempt to end his life by
CUTTING HIS THROAT
with razor. He inflicted bad cash
but was finally cured, though he still
bears the scar. 1t was early in Novem-
Der, 1886, when he was released from the
penitentiary, and all trace of him was
lost until Jan. 49, 1887, when he made
his appearance in Pontiac, Mich, and
five days later married Miss Annie
Halle, of that town. From there he
fled to Detroit, closely followed by Miss
HaZle's friends, including a brother,
who is the man who threatened to
shoot Brown on sighJ, and the fear Of
whom made the prisoner unwilling to
go back to Michigan.

ent on His Air Ship.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-Commis-
sioner of Patents Hall has refused
patent to Prof. de Baussett for his air
ship, on which the house committee on
ventilation and acoustics recently
made favorable report, and recon-
mended an appropriation of S150,0OO to
enable the inventor to construct his fly
ing machine. Commissioner Hall, in
refusing a patent, says the proposed
machine, il built, would be Incapable
of use. "Under the circumstances"
he says, ''even if its novelty
were admitted, it must be held
that patent must be refused, at least
until the applicant practically demon
Strates the OperativeneSS of his device.
The patent system was never designed
to protect the chimerical schemes of
Missionaries. Invention consists in more
than the work of the Imagination. This
applicant has only carried his concep-
ton up to the point where invention
must begin. The present case deals
with ideas long exploded, and proposes
not single step in advance of what has
long been known. 1t differs from the
former schemes only in its gigantic pro-
portions"

woanded by Patrick Coffee in the latter's

himself in the abdomen. The bullet he
fired at Miss Smith lodged in the left

Coffee was jealous of Miss Smith, and
whenever the latter called quarrel in
variably resulted between Coffee and
his wife. Both Coffee and Miss Smith
are now in the hospital, and the doctors
entertain little hope of their recovery.
Coffee stated that he shot Miss Smith
because he did not want anyone else to
have her, and as he couldn't get her
himself he preferred death.
