A RIVAL TELEPHONE.

II is stated that Mr.. J. w Bonita, of
Philadelphia, has patents for tele-
phone in which an intermittent or
pulsatory current is employed in the
transmission of speech, and which will
enable him to enter the field as com
petitor against the Bell telephone not
withstanding the recent decision of
the Supreme Court. The claim of
the Bell telephone was that it EN-
ploved "a continuous current, and that
it was impossible to operate tele-
phone by make and break system.
The Bonita patents are nearly year
old. The telephones are not like those
of Bell and the current of electricity
NAV be seen to break with every sylla-
BILE spoken into the transmittor, yet
the claim is made for it that ii is not
necessary TO speak close to the instru-
ment or in a loud tone of voice TO Sc
cure perfectly clear results. 1t is said
that the ticking of a watch was dis
tinctly heard through five miles of
wire with Bonta's instruments, and
| that whispering was transmitted with
equal clearness. Mr. Bonita claims
superiority over the Bell telephone
for long distance and greater clearness
in the transmission of sound, and is
represented by the New York Times
to have determined, backed by ample
capital, to enter the field of competi-
! ton

A MIGHTY ENGINE OF WAR.

The William Cramp & Sons Ship
and Engine Building Company of
Philadelphia have nearly completed
Yorktown, designed for the United
States Navy. 1t will be launched on
Saturday, April %, in the presence of
Secretary Whitney. 1t carries four
pneumatic guns for the hurting of
dynamite projectiles, each with
range of at least mile. The training
of the guns is accomplished by steer
ing the vessel, and the loading is all
done by steam The guns are of 10
inch calibre. and the shells, which
can be fired with great accuracy twice
a minute, will contain 600 pounds of
explosive gelatine, equivalent to Sj2
pounds of dynamite, or 943 pounds of
gun cotton. 1t is claimed that this
gun properly handled will be the most
destructive engine of waryet invented
for the heaviest armored ships in the
world will go all TO pieces from the
explosion of shell much smaller than
those thrown by the guns on the
Yorktown. These guns are designed
primarily to work on the under water
portion of the hulls of vessels, but if
any inaccuracy in aim should be de
veloped on account of the pitching of
the ship, great damage can be inflicted
upon the portion of the hull above
water. A dynamite gun made by the
same concern has just been made for
the Italians, and will be tested at Fort
Lafayette, in few days, by Lieut.
Zalinski.

WHITE CAPS IN INDIANA.

The band of regulators in Indiana
known as the white Caps" are be-
coming very daring in the perpetra
ton of the outrages for which they
have become notorious. A dispatch
from New Albany on Monday says:
Last night u band of fifty-seven of
these regulators rode into the suburbs
of this place, city of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, took from their beds three stall
wart men, the sons of widow named
Jones, tied them to trees, and gave
them severe whippings with switches
and sticks. After the whipping the
men were told if they did not go to
work and earn a living they would be
whipped again. The White Caps then
visited the house of William Wright
and warned him under pain of death
to get out of Harrison county. What
Wright has done is not known, as he
is apparently law-abiding citizen.
From Wright's house the regulators
went to the Taswell house, where q
Leavenworth lawyer, aged 81 years,
who had been too demonstrative in
his attentions to young girl, was
called out and was told that he could
have half an hour to get out of town
in. He left town without delay. Al
o'clock this morning the White Caps
were seen riding toward Birdseye.'

CLOTH MADE or CLASS.

NJ. Dubus Bonnet, of Lille, France,
has invented a process of spinning
and weaving glass into cloth. The
warp is composed of silk, forming
the body and groundwork, on
which the pattern in glass appears,
as effected by the welt. The requisite
fiexibility of glass thread for manu-
featuring purposes is to be ascribed
to its extreme fineness, as not less
than from fifty to sixty of the original
threads (spun by steam-engine power
are required TO form one thread of the
welt.
The process is slow, for no more
than a yard of cloth can be produced
in twelve hours. The work, however,
is extremely beautiful and compare
lively cheap A French paper com
menting on this discovery. says:
When we figure TO ourselves an
apartment decorated with cloth OF
glass. and resplendent with lights, we
must be convinced that il will equal
in brilliancy all that the imagination
can conceive. and realize; in word.
the wonders of the enchanted palaces
mentioned in the Arabian tales.

4 HUSBAND ROTTEY-EGGED.

During the past week the town of
East Liverpool, Ohio, has been all
agog with excitement. Thursday after
noon George Burton. well-to-do man
of that city, turned his wife out of the
house and left for Pittsburg The next
evening he returned and brought with
him dashing widow named Mrs. Fen
ton, who at Burton's request had come
on from Trenton, n. j. The woman
was installed in the house and when
Mrs. Burton applied for admittance
she was sent away, her husband say
ing that he had somebody else TO care
for him now.
The news spread around and the
female neighbors decided TO revenge
the wife's wrongs. After ten o'clock
that night three hundred women,
armed with rotten eggs, assaulted the
house and beat the doors open. Bur
ton and the woman, both i'll demi-cos-
tune, were dragged out. The man
was chased several blocks while rotten
eggs flew after him. The widow was
pounded and pummeled and at last
fell in the street and the enraged
women kicked her until the Marshal
appeared and rescued her. The mob
gathered in numbers and both Burton
and the woman were locked up for
safe keeping. The neighbors then
ransacked the house, which next
morning looked as if a cyclone had
struck it.
At 9o'clock Friday morning hun
dreds of the women gathered around
the City Jail, armed with rotten eggs,
and vowed they would keep watch for
Mrs. Fenton and drive her out of town.
In the afternoon she took the train
for Trenton. She was dressed i'll a
rich black silk costume and was con-
spicuous with a large purple plume
i'm her bonnet. A mob of three hun
dred witnessed her departure. a mum
Der of women were present, but police
prevented any outbreak.

ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
DECLARED ADULTERATED FOOD AND THEI
SALE ILLEGAL,

DECLARED ADULTERATED FOOD AND THEIR
SALE ILLEGAL.
The result of a trial just concluded
at Canton, n Y, before Judge kel-
logg, will have salutary effect in
checking the sale of one class OF adul-
terated food. Two men, named Moon
and Akerill, were arrested for selling
adulterated baking powder in viola
ton of the State food adulteration act.
The Indictment was for both selling
baking powders that were inferior,
adulterated and injurious to health
by reason of being made from alum,
and for selling them under pretense
that they were wholesome, cream OF
tartar baking powder. A stubborn
defence was made, the claim being set
up that baking powders were not artl-
cles of food and that the powder the
defendants were selling, which was
known as Gillett's, was standard
article of trade, and that alum baking
powders inferior to it, like Davis and
others, were being sold by other deal
ers in the same town without com
plaint. The Court held that baking
powders were articles of food within
the meaning of the law, and the jury
found the defendants guilty upon all
the charges. The case has attracted
much attention from being the first
brought under the State Food Adult
teration Act against dealers in alum
baking powders. The result of the
trial is to class such baking powders
as adulterated articles of food and to
make their sale illegal. There are
many alum baking powders put up in
cans, under some name or brand, in
addition to those sold in bulk, the sale
of all of which cautious dealers will
probably be unwilling to continue.

BET $40 ACRES ON CLEVELAND.

Mr.. Tom Edes, a wealthy ranchman
and farmer of Barbour county, who is
in the city for business trip, was met
by q reporter for the Beacon. Mr..
Edes is one of the most enthusiastic
Democrats in the country, and among
other evidences of this is bet he re-
Gently made with a neighbor, who is
a Republican. Mr.. Edes showed the
reporter papers to substantiate the as
sertion that he recently made bet of
GAO acres of land with his neighbor for
a similar tract of land, the stipula-
tions of the wager being that Grover
Cleveland will receive the electoral
vote of the solid South" in the com
ing election. The land which is up as
a bet is situated about twelve miles
from Medicine Lodge, and is as good
as there is in the county. Il am look

MO PLACE FOR M0RM0RS.

ting tour. In a short time he was
Joined by another man, formerly an
itinerant Methodist preacher of this
State. The two secured a building
and held nightly meetings, at which
one or the other would preach. In
the day time they would visit families
in the neighborhood and work upon
the minds of the younger members,
until they had secured quite follow
ing. In time disgraceful rumors con-
corning the relations of the preachers
with the female converts got afloat,
and it was evident that the Mormon
apostles believed in the polygamous
feature of the doctrine they were try
ing to inculcate. One night they We're
both driven out of the neighborhood
and threatened with summary punish
ment if they returned. a farmer
named VIM. Metz had given them en-
couragement, entertaining them at
his house, and protesting against the
action Of his neighbors in sending
them away. Since then Metz has been
the subject of continuous abuse. He
has received a number of letters of
warning, stating that he had better
leave the country. Four weeks ago
his home was burned to the ground
bv incendiaries, and leaving that sec
ton, he purchased property ten miles
away. \ few nights after that prop
erty was also destroyed just as he was
about to move into it. At IA great
sacrifice. he purchased another home
Oh a small hill farm, and was prepar
ing TO go to it. Passing near there
Saturday night, he found it in flames,
and il was soon consumed. Near by
he found notice, which read: Buy
no more property at your peril. We
will not tolerate a Mormon The
man is now homeless and in despair,
but he refuses to give up his Mormon
belief. He says he will die first, and
it looks very much as though his faith
would be put to test if he remains i'll
the locality. His wife and children
have shared in the outrageous treat
ment, and are now without friends or
companions. Mrs Metz adheres to
the Mormon faith, and suffers her
persecution like martyr. Metz will
find trouble in securing property, as
no neighborhood in the county will
risk the vengeance of the indignant
people. The officers claim to be try
ing to find out the prosecutors of Metz,
but so far they have made no arrests.
Calhoun has heretofore been one of
the most peaceable counties in the
State, and aside from the present up
rising, has an excellent record.

THE TARIFF BILL AND ITS PROSPECTS,

The motion made by Mr.. Mills Tues
day that the House should go into
committee ofthe whole to consider the
tariff bill of the ways and means COM
mittee was carried without opposition
"a notable evidence of the altered
state of public sentiment since the
time when the Republicans with Mr..
Randall's help voted down Mr.. Morri-
sons proposal. The opening speech
by Mr.. Mills presented with convinc-
ing force the injustice, absurdity and
hurtfulness of the present tariff.
Higher than the war tariff, it exists
to-day without a public purpose, its
only function being TO restrict indus
try and commerce in the interest OF
trusts. pools and other combinations
of private individuals and corpora
tions to put up prices Mr. Kelly
dealt chiefly in prophecies of the evil
effects to be expected of low taxes and
denunciation of the internal taxes on
whisky, beer and tobacco. The two
speeches very aptly portray the pro
gressive tendencies of the one side and
the stolid inertia of the other. AL
though the policy of resistance to all
revenue reform is no longer the win
ming policy, it is evident that the
Mills bill is to be bitterly opposed.
But the opposition will not be, as
heretofore, open and above board.
The fight against the bill will be upon
the items, one by one, as they come up
for approval, the hope being that the
proposed additions TO the free list and
reductions of taxation can be beaten
in detail There will be, it is under
stood. a general debate on the bill for
about two weeks. About fourscore
speeches are already in readiness, 1t
is said, for delivery, but the patient
public, having SO long endured the
tariff, will contrive, no doubt, to sur
vive them. The consideration of the
bill is not TO be absolutely continuous.
Wednesday is to be given 70 the labor
committee. To prevent delay from
conflicts with pressing bills of various
sorts night sessions will be held, and
tariff orators will have their say until
the two weeks given to general debate
have expired. After that the bill will
be taken up item by item under the
five-minute rule. About one month,
it is estimated, will be consumed i'll
working over the bill in this way, so
that the vote upon its final passage
will hardly be had before the first OF
June. Opposition in many forms is
anticipated, but little or no filibuster-
ing. The supreme effort of the pro-
tectionists will be- no doubt, to stave
off the final vote till after the 9Th of
June, when the National Democratic
Convention will meet at st. Louis.
The friends OF the bill, however, will
be on the alert for obstructive mo-
tions, and they seem TO be pretty con
fident that they will have the measure
through the House before the conven-
ton meets baltimore Sun.

STABBED A YOUNG WIDOW.

A dispatch from Washington says:
Ewing WattersOn son of Henry Wat
terson. editor of the Courier Journal, of
Louisville, KY, stabbed and seriously
wounded Mrs. Irene Unkle, a young
widow from Richmond, in a boarding
house on | street Tuesday night. Mrs.
Unkle and young Watterson have
been rooming in the same house for
the past two months, and Tuesday
evening Watterson went, it is said, 10
the lady's room and asked hert TO break
an engagement that she had made sew
eral days ago. The lady refused to
comply with his request, whereupon
Watterson drew knife and plunged
it into the lady's breast. He would
have stabbed her again had not Mrs
Unkle warded off the blow with her
arm. Watterson then attempted to
stab himself, but the entrance of Mrs
Evans, the proprietreSs of the house,
prevented his doing so. Watterson
was arrested and locked up in a police
station, where he was visited by Sen
ator Bates, of Tennessee, Richard Win
ter Smith, of Kentucky, and other
friends, and his father was notified of
the occurrence. Mrs. Unkle was at
tended by Dr. Lovejoy, who found
that her wound was but a slight one
1t was directly over the heart, and had
the knife-blade been longer would
doubtless have proved fatal. Neither
the lady nor Mr.. WatterSon would
make any statement regarding the af-
fair. But it is said to have been
caused by jealousy on the part of
young Watterson.
Young Watterson went to Washing
ton in December, and since his first
meeting with Mrs. Unkle he has
seemed to be infatuated with the
young widow. Mrs. Unkle is from
Richmond, and was in Washington in
quest of employment. She is described
as being very beautiful, and is % years
of age. Watterson, on the other hand,
is but 10, and had been attending
school
