ISSUES BEFORE THE JUDGES
A Long Sentence Imposed on Chas- Will
son, the HighWayman and Burglar.
The SaloOn-Keepers Meet with but Little
Consideration from Squire Smock, by
Whom They Wished 10 Be Tried.

The trial OF Charles Wilson, the notorious
burglar and highway robber, in the Criminal
Court, yesterday, attracted much attention, and
at the calling Of the case the courtroom was
crowded. Wilson begged to have the trial con-
timed IA be was not ready. He said he had
rich mother in England, TO whom he had writ
ten for money, and he was expecting to receive
an answer in a few days, but the
continuance being refused, the pauDer
attorney was appointed to defend him.
The State submitted but little evidence,
the principal testimony coming from the pris-
oner's confsderate, Squire Cameron, who had
pleaded guilty. Cameron told the whole story
of the robberies as committed by himself and
Wilson. Wilson was foremost in ali their raids,
and nearly always did the stealing. while the
witness watched to that they were not sur
prised. The prisoner went on the stand in his
own behalf. and protested against being found
guilty. He claimed that he was in Cincinnati
when the robberIes charged against
him were committed When the evil
denee was In Judge Irwin thought there
was no doubt about the defendants guilt. and
fixed his punishment at twelve years in the PEN
itentiary. The sentence is the heaviest imposed
on any burglar by the court since Frank Whiting
was given ten years Few years ago. The brief
career of Whiting in Indianapolis WAS similar
to that of Wilson. Cameron, until recently.
was more Of loafer than criminal and an
effort will be N ade to have him receive q lighter
punishment than his confederates. He Will be
sentenced some time this week.

irving saloon-Keepers.

The saloon-keepers arrested last Sunday for
violating the law are making vigorous effort
TO evade conviction. In accordance with the
methods adopted some time ago. nearly all took
3 change Of venue from the City Court. and the
Mayor sent them to Squire Smock, who has
made a reputation by enforcing the law in ac-
cordance with Mayor Denuy's ideas. Two of the
number were tried by him yesterday. Milton
Dugan. boy employed by one Of the defend
Bnts. Martin Moran, a cigar-seller, admitted
that be sold fifteen cents worth of whisky TO a
man Sunday night but the attorneys for Moran
claimed that tho court could not find him
guilty because the police admitted that they
had employed the man 70 go in and buy drink
loon-keeper. The Squire held that the action
of the police did not lessen the crime any, and
gave notice that he would assess fine. the
emount of which he took under advisement.
Ben Kersting was next tried. He has saloon
and eating house combined on South Illinois
street The man who. IL is said drank beer at
that place testified that he did not do so. while
tho two patrolmen who made the arrest said
that they him have the mug up to his
mouth and after he had set it down they exam
ined it and found beer dregs in 1t. Kerstings
testimony was to the effect that he drew the
beer for himself and that while he was setting
acme lunch for o customer the man ri cked MP
the glass and Rmelled of the beer. The Squire
took the very conflicting testimony under adj
vIsement. Lou Small, the bartender for the
Circle Park saloon, arrested Tuesday on q war
rant charging him with selling on Sunday. took
a change of venue from the Mayor, yesterday

a Queer Eabitation.

One of the queerest residences among
the many oddities of the modern taste
can be found on the Great Kanawha
River in West Virginia, not more than
five or six miles above the confluence of
that stream with the Ohio. The resi-
dence referred to is monster sycamore
tree, which doubtless was monarch in
a giant forest when Cornstalk and bis
warriors contested with the pale for su-
premacy in that beautiful valley, and
perhaps cast a grateful shade under
which the chieftain when wearied with
the chase or conflict often reclined. This
monster tree is now hollow from its
centre to within few inches OF its outer
surface. So large is the open space that
family consisting of two men, woman
and two children have taken up their
abode within its recesses.
They live, eat and sleep in it, and to
all appearances are as happy as many

we never have any repairs to make; the

great many people.

The WeIsbach Light.

Struck with the intensely brilliant but
not glaring light issuing from l22 South
Twelfth street, the premises Of the Wels-
bach incandescent Gas Light Company,
Times reporter went in last night to
investigate. AS explained to him, the
new burner, which is likely to revolu-
tionize all preseut systems of Lighting,
is very simple. An ordinary Bunsen
burner, suspended above which inside
the glass and held by platinum wire, is
a cone or mantle of cotton net. This
mantle has undergone chemical prep
uration by solution, and thought Of It's
are will last from six to tw4lve months.
Ordinary coal gas is used, but the inten-
sity of the bright, white light as the net
becomes incandescent is astonishing.
It is difficult to explain the color Of
the light; perhaps an intensified daylight
best expresses it. Colors retain their
natural hue, the most delicate tints being
unaffected by its rays. An ingeniously
eontrived arrangement, which shows
strips of silk under the two lights, dem
onstrates better than anything the super
iority of the Welsbsch, in all cases the
fabrics under the ordinary gas-ight
having totally different color than they
bore by daylight. Other advantages
claimed for it are its economy, perfect
combustion and cheapness.-Philadel-
