A NOVEL cure was effected by the use
OF the dynamo recently at Westgate-on-
Sea, Eng. A Mr.. Brown was fitting a
false bottom to CRATE, and while chip
ping it to make it fit a very small splin-
ter of iron flew off and struck him in
the eye. An electrical engineer who
met him shortly after, seeing his plight,
took him to dynamo that was working
near by. Brown placed his eye as close
as possible to the machine, and the
magnetic attraction was sufficiently in
tense to withdraw the splinter of iron
from the eye, which was instantly re-
heved and which gave no further
trouble to him.

WARRINGTON, Dec. Z. - The Silcott
defalcation is tho sensation Of the

The committee which is investigating
the defalcation was in session all of
Friday, but its sessions have been Sc
cret and every one refuses to disclose
what has taken place. Mr.. Leedom,
the Sergeant-at-Arms, appeared with
his attorney and was examined
for about two hours. When the
committee had finished with him
it sent for the Assistant United States
Attorney with a view Of taking his testi-
mony on the legal points in the case. At
the same time experts were at work
upon the books, who have ascertained
that the actual amount of the defalca-
ton u $71, 800, which does not include
the losses of private depositors, which
amount to nearly $4,000 more.
Although the matter is still an open
question, it appears that the response.
bility for the loss can not be located
AS the bond of the Sergeant-at-Arms
was given to cover the performance OF
his official duties, it can not be seen
