Successful Trial of Balloon That Can
Be Perfectly Controlled.
A balloon ascension under the direc-
ton OF the Novelty Air Ship Company
was made on the Sth, at Coney Island
In the presence of about 500 people.
The new air ship, which is worked by
electricity, is the invention of Peter G..
Campbell, a Brooklyn jeweler.:sIt is CT
gar-shaped,. fifty feet long and forty
two feet in diameter in the CEN
ter. A car and flying machine
is suspended from the balloon by means
OF bar and propeller is provided by
which the device can be raised or low
cred, or move it in horizontal direc-
ton through the air. J. K. Allen, the
professional aeronaut of Providence, r..

oxygen. took his seat IN the car and the
rope being let go he assembled to the
height of 500 Ieet where, after going
through series of evolutions, pro-
polling the machine, he landed safely ct

sci, Hayden Republic.
New York, Dec. Sat last the uncer-
ainty regarding the American steam
ship Haytien Republic, seized by the
Hayden gunboat Dessalines off the har-
Dor of ST. Marc, seems about to be
cleared up. Capt. Com pton's pluck in
sticking by his vessel and refusing
to haul down the American colors~ IN
defiance of the demands of the colored
guards in possession Of the steamer,
will be rewarded and the vessel re-
leased. This was the news received by
Lord & Austins, agents of the seized
vessel in this city. Together with this
intelligence were received the state
ments of thes rival existing govern
ments III Hayti, that of Gen.
Legitime, the provincial presi-
dent, being published pamphlet,
detailing his proposed programme; the
other printed memorandum, setting
forth the claims of the government of
the North to the consideration of the
foreign powers.
A letter from the State Department at
Washington told of its decision regard
ing the Haytien Republic. Secretary
Bayard says: "The validity OF the seiz-
ure and of the subsequent proceeding of
alleged condemnation cannot be admit
ted, and l have SO informed Mr.. Pres
ton, the Hayden representative at this
capital, who had been instructed by the
government to defer the case of his

EXPLAINED THE MYSTERY.
The Body of Murderer in Chicago
Found Under a Sidewalk.

The Body of Murderer in Chicago
Found Under a Sidewalk.
The dead body of Frank Dickerson
was found under the sidewalk on Des-
plains Street, near Washington, Chica-
GO, on the Sd. In August last the body
of Charles Gunderson was found by
some boys within three feet of the
place in which Dickerson's body
was found, but strange to say
the police failed to discover any
other than Gunderson's, who, as
an autopsy showed, had a broken neck.
The police theory is that Dickerson
threw Gunderson off the sidewalk into
the open lot below and that the fall
broke his neck. Dickerson seeing what
he had done, at once dragged the body
as far under the sidewalk as he could,
then, in spirit of remorse for having
killed his best friend, placed himself
nearly alongside the body and plunged
q knife into his oWr heart.

ARMED FORCES AT BEvIER.
Gov. Morehouse Goes to the Scene of Dis
turbance.

Gov. Morehouse Goes to the Scene of Dis
turbance.
A st. Louis dispatch of the 9th saws:
It now seems settled fact that the dis
turbances at Bevier, Mo-, where the Sc
rious riot occurred on the night of the
9th, are by no means settled, and the
future must develop more serious
disturbances. 1t is said that when
any of the strikers at Bevier go else
where to work, they are refused work
if it is known that they come from Be-
vier. and belong to the labor confeder-
alton there. 1t has been suggested that
the sheriff could keep the peace with a
posse of ten men constantly on the
ground, but he says there is no use to
talk about this as he cannot get the men
to 60 there. There are two armed
bodies Of men, many In barbados, and
II any one on either side fires off his
gun accidetally or not it is war signal
and the war begins.
Adjt.-Gen. Jamison was at Bevier yes
terday, in consultation with leading
citizens and the conclusion reache was
that the only effect of the sending of
militia to Ievier would be temporary,
and it was finally decided to ask Gov.
Morehouse to come to Bevier. The
governor wired back that he would be
there to-day. Last night the store
buildings Of LOOMS & Snivlev, the lead
ing miners OF Bevier, was burned, and
it is claimed the fire must have been in
cendlary.
\ dispatch from Kansas City says
Gov. Morehouse, who is now at Bevier,
has ordered out the militia and Col.
Moore will leave at 6 o'clock in the
morning with two companies Of the
Third Regiment for the scene of the

ReheIlions Sawhones

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Dec. 8.-There is re-
volt in the College OF Physicians and
Surgeons, and the trouble may lead to
the withdrawal ct large number of
students. The difficulty is the outcome
Of feud between the allopaths and
homeopathic. The allopath students
object to the students Of the other school
attending the clinics, and threaten to
withdraw in a body unless the former
are denied the privilege. The rebels
are negotiating with the Rush College

EXECUTIONS BY ELECTRICITY.
Experiments on Calves and a Horse at
Orange, n. Y.

Orange, n. Y. '
On January l, 1889, the law recurring
electrical executions goes into effect,
but until the 9Th inst. the amount and
character of current required to make
death certain and instantaneous
had not been determined. The expert
ments upon dogs, made last summer by
Harold P. Brown, the electrical en-
gineer, were criticised because the
weight of the animals killed was less
than that of a man. On the above day
Mr.. Brown was given an opportunity
to make a demonstration before Mr..
Elbridge L. Gerry, author of the cleo
trical execution law, and a committee.
The experiments were made at Mr.. Ed
ison's laboratory at Orange, and the first
victim was calf weighing 1248
pounds. The hair was cut on the fore
head, and on the spine behind
the forelegs and sponge-covered plates,
moistened with solution of sulphate of
zinc, were fastened in place. Tie resist
ance OF the animal was 5000 ohms. An
alternating current of 700 volts was ap-
piled for 80 seconds and the animal was
pounds, and had resistance of 1900
ohms. The deadly alternating cur
rent at 700 volts pressure was
applied for five seconds. and
produced death. To settle permanently
the weight question, a horse weighing
1920 pounds was next killed by passing
the alternating current at 700 volts from
one foreleg to the other. The resistance
of this animal was IL 900 ohms. The
experiments proved the alternating
current to be the most deadly force
known TO science, and that less than
half the pressure used in New York for
electric lighting by this system is suffi.
Gent to cause instant death.

LAW IN BIRMINGHAM.
Ten Lives Lost in an Attempt to Lyn
d Murderer.


Murderer.
At Birmingham, Ala, on the Sth, q
crowd which had been collected on
the streets for several hours, at mid
night advanced on the county jail with
the intention of lynching r. r. Halves,
charged with the murder of his wife
and child. Many leading citizens tried
to reason with the crowd and prevent
trouble and some lost their lives in the
attempt. When the crowd was within
a few feet of the jail door and had failed
to heed numerous warnings, the officers
opened fire on them, killing three men
instantly, fatally wounding seven and
wounding Eore or less seriously about
thirty others.
A dispatch of the 9Th SAYS: The trag-
edy which led to this bloodshed was a
fendish one. The body of May Halves
was found in the early part of the
week, but several days elapsed before
1t was Identified. Then it was learned
that her mother was also missing, and
it was suspected that she also was muir
dered. This suspicion was confirmed
yesterday by searching the Halves cot
tage and finding blood stains in every
room. At noon the body of the
missing woman was found at the
bottom of lake in the park, half mile
from the cottage. The head of the dead
woman had been crushed in by a blow
with an ak and the body was kept at
the bottom of the lake by 200 pounds of
iron fastened about the neck, feet and
waist.
Circumstances pointed strongly to
Dick Halves as the murderer of his
daughter and be was arrested two or
three days ago. The finding of the body
of his wife Increased the bitter feeling
against HIM and lett little doubt but
that an attempt would be made to lynch
him

LARGE SUGAR SEIZURE.
differentiation Alleged Against VaIu-
able Cargo From Java.

Collector j. S. Hager seized the
steamer Westmeath and her cargo of
sugar, which arrived at San Francisco
from Java, consigned to the American
sugar ken4 ne y 70 OF odo that CITY DUTY
which is valued at $400, 900. The reason
for the seizure is stated to be that the
quality ofthe sugar has been under-esti-
mated and that the government
has been defrauded of about 100000
duty on one cargo. The sugar is sup
posed TO have been colored in Java,
where very fine quality of sugar is
made, which coloring gives appearance
to the sugar of being lower grade of
sugar and subject to less amount of
duty This is the largest seizure ever
made in that port, and the first cargo of
sugar ever received from Java. The
penalty attached. if the charge is
proved, is confscation of the cargo and
a fine of 20 per cent. OF it's value.
