Pu,, Air nom Coal.

An Englishman Is credited with tho
discovery Of method Of producing pr.
pecily pure air from the combustion Of
coal. The process Is very simple, and Is
described as follows; IL consists OF u
brick chamber about 5x2xa feet, built
upon the ground. At one end Is feed
CHAMBER and fuel chamber. and at the
other a powerful exhaust and blast fan.
Placed intermediaiely between the cham.
Der and the fan are bafiic plates. splitting
plates. a standing bridge with perfor-
ations at the hack. and hanging bridge
with perforations at the front. There
are also several carefully proportioned
inlets TO supply the exact quantity OF air
requisite for perfect combustion. lssu'
ing from fan mouth OF twelve inches
I'm diameter. comes rushing column OF
hot dir. marking on the pyrometer at iis
exit a steady. uniform temperature Of
500 degs. Fahrenheit. Not trace Of
smoke or fume Is visible TO the eye; not
a taint Of any kind Is percepuble TO the
taste or smell.-New York Telegram.

does not appear to have been any indie
atoms, anything seen by the police to
support the charge which you had pre-
ferred and on which warrant had been
issued.
1 must say that the action of the police
in this affair does them no credit.
Your countrymen are reported to De
versed in ways that are dark. Your
transactions are cloaked by your language
which will hide your secrets.
Your unlawful combinations to involve
others in crime, and for the commission
of crime have been shown in sundry IN
stances to have a most serious meaning.
Doubtless the most OF these go un,
detected. When one proof is made ana
there is a conviction of the otfense the
sentence of the Court should be serious
1t is to be regretted that your equally
guilty confederate has escaped arrest sc
| far. Your punishment will be neither
more nor less from that circumstance
The sentence of the Court is that you De
imprisoned at hard labor for one year
with costs taxed at $40.

BEFORE THE SAME JUSTICE.

The King vs. Tin Choy, for conspi-
racy. This case was tried before for
eign jury on the 18th inst, and on the
18th inst. the Court instructed the jury
as follows:
The Court reads to the jury the law in
regard TO conspiracy.
"This defendant is charged with having
conspired with one Lam You to do what
is obviously and wrongfUlly injurious to
another, viz: to one You See, to falsely
charge said You See with keeping a dis
orderly house, and in another count de-
PENDANT is charged with an attempt to
extort money from said You See by
conspiring with another to charge said
GU See with keeping disorderly
house.
am glad to adopt the language of
Judge Lee which | will read from the
case of The King vs. Anderson, 1st Ha-
waiian Reports p. Al. every fraudu-
lent combination, mutual understand
ing, or concerning together of two or
more, to do what is obviously and
directly wrongfully injurious to another
is conspiracy" "That a mutual con-
cert in cases like this could seldom if
ever be proved, otherwise than by CIR
cumstances, as cOnspirators do not call
in witnesses to their undertakings" You
must be satisfied beyond a reasonable
doubt that in the conspiracy of this
defendant he was the partner of one
Lam AOu and not of any other person,
this alone would satisfy the charge of
the indictment. You will consider the
evidence which has been commented on
by the counsel on both sides. do not
propose to take up the evidence at all in
these instructions. You must be con-
WINGED satisfactorily that the defendant
combined with another person, one Lam
You to do the offense here charged and
spoken of and upon that you are to con-
slider and to review all the testimony.
These are the only two points it seems
to me which the Court needs to point
out to you.
The jury returned verdict finding de-
PENDANT guilty; and His Honor, in pass
ing the sentence of the Court, said:
Tin Choy-You have been found
guilty of conspiracy in the second de-
gree. The verdict was unanimous and
given with no delay. think this YER
dict was well supported by the evidence.
The offense charged was of combining
and conspiring with one Lam You to
accuse Van Shee, Chinese woman of
keeping disorderly, an immoral house.
This woman appears to have been living
respectfully and honestly with her hus-
band and children, and with him earn
ing an honest livelihood from garden.
Your plan appears to have been to raise
money by Matchmaking her with this
charge. You are shown to have
prowled and spied about the premises of
this couple for some days, and finally az
a time when her husband was about and
she was alone in her house with her
young children, in the afternoon you en-
tered and demanded 5000, saying
that you would take 500, if she could
produce no more. About this time your
confederate in this villany brought along
three policeman to the house. There
