Judge Hicks sentences Him to
the Reformatory.
Charles S. Ostrom, who, through a
passion for gambling, was led to con-
vert TO his own uses - 1000 belonging to
the Pioneer Press. will be taken to the
state reformatory at st. Cloud today.
When the criminal court was called to
order Yesterday morning, Ostrom sat
inside the railing alongside OF County
Attorney JamisOn. His clOsely-shaven
face and gold bowed spectacleS gave
him a ~student-like appearance. Every
one present seemed to take a great in
teTest in his case on account or his
straightforward air. He stepped firmly
10 the bar when called upon by the
judge, listened TO the reading of the
indictment, and firmly pleaded
guilty. Judge Hicks plainly heSitated
before p%rOnOuncing sentence. He queS-
toned the prisoner regarding his occu-
patton and family and the latter an
swered every question evenly and firm
~, except the one as to whether he had
a family. His voice faltered as he re-
piled, Not yet" 1t is said that his
wife will soon become a mother. When
asked if he had anything to say, he
spoke but few words, remarking that
there was but little to %eXtenuate his
crime. Judge Hicks leetured him on
the evils of gambling before pronounce
ing sentence. and held out TO him the
hope of again regaining his old place in
society by the right sort of an effort.
He was then sentenced to the refOrma-
tory. where good behavior will make
his term comparatively short. OstrOm's
young wife visited him at the Jail yes
terday. aud the scene between them was
very affecting. OStrom bore up well and
directed all his efforts toward cOnSoling
his wife.

Engineers Claim TO Have Invented
q World Beating Motor.

William Cooper and George p. Hamp-
ton, engineers, claim to have invented a
motor that will revolutioniZe all appli-
cations of power previously invented.
They assert that in point Of pract-
liability, economy and general de-
STABILITY it is far in advance of
all motors heretofore placed upon the
market, outclaSsing cable, steam or
electricity for street railway purposes,
and being available for various other
kinds of work. This new engine de-
ponds upon an application of pneumatic
power which is so simple that the first
thought of all vino have see it
is why it was never thought
of before. Secret tests of a
working models have been made several
times, and all have been highly success
full. A practical test will be made on
the motor line, between Minneapolis
and the Thirty-first street junction
shortly after Jan. l. A stock company
has already been formed, and local cap
italists are prepared to put up all the
money necessary to make the motor
mote. Articles of association have been
filed, with William Cooper, George IL.
Hampton and James +. Merritt as IN
cOrpOrat0rs. The capital stock is, so
far, limited to $780, DOC.

Judge Lochren yesterday listened TO

Board. The action is brought 10 secure
an injunction restraining the park COM
miSSioners from cOndemnlDg certain
lands, owned 10y Mrs. Lincoln, for park
purposes, and also restraining them
from making any park improvements
thereon. The action is brought on the
ground that the written journal of the
state senate shows that the bill author
izing the state park WAS not carried be-
fore the senate, the vote standing 20
nays to Z ayes. The clerk of the last
senate testified that he had made a cleri-
cal error in copying the written journal
from the printed journal, aud that the
vOte on the printed journal showed the
bill to have been carried 10y a vote OF %

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
OTTAWA, April 3,-In the Senate to-
day, Mcdonald of British Columbia in
terrogated the Government respecting
the recent proclamation of President
Harrison respecting Behring sea. Senator
McInnes, also from British Columbi read
an editorial from United States paper
to the effect that one-half the Behripg
sea belonged exclusively to the United
States. In conclusion, he urged the
government to ask the Imperial govern
ment to settle the question, at once and
forever.
Kaulbach spoke, but MacInness inter-
rupted him to state that the United
States had put forth pretension in 1887
to exclusive privileges in that sea, and
had seized British vessels.
Abbott, the leader of the Government,
said he did not understand the pro-
clamation to assert any naw right by the
United States or any right over Behring's
sea. He believed the American
Government contended that GER
tain portions of Behring Sea were
exclusively under American jurisdiction.
The Canadian government would con-
tinue to act in accordance with the opin-
ion of Lord Salisbury. The just demand
of British subjects for compensation for
damage done by these illegal seizures
would not be abandoned.

Trnnp MUSICIANS.

New YORK, April 3.-The Musical
Union of this city is endeavoring to pre-
vent the landing of strolling bands from
Europe, who are in the habit Of coming
here in the spring and returning in the
fall with the money earned during the
summer. 1t is urged that such immi-
grants come within the provisions of the
foreign contract labor act, but heretofore
they have escaped detention by swear
ing that they came as individuals and
not as bands under leaders. When the
steamer Western Land arrived this
morning from Antwerp, Superintendent
Simpson, of the Landing Bureau at
Castle Garden, discovered that there
were no less than 400 musicians on
board, nearly all of them having spent
the summer here for years past. The
representatives of the Musical Union
learned of the influx and Immediately
urged that strict investigation be made.
The suggestion is made that they can be
held under the pauper act if the evidence
is not forthcoming to warrant their re-
turn under the foreign contract labor
law. A representative of the Knights of
Labor is interesting himself in the

Republicans, men who have before re-

party, though believing in that
party's general objects, and who,
on this occasion, when they divorced
themselves from the Resubmissionists,
still remained apart from the third party,
which was working for similar purpose,
against resubmission. They nominated
the Independent State ticket, but in

ticket. The result was that, while

GOING WRONG.
A Young Man Arrested on Conn
Plaint of His Mother,

Plaint of His Mother,
A young man of good family and we'll
educated was arrested Tuesday evening
and put on the book at the Police Station
as a suspect. The arrest was made at
the request of his mother, who charges
him with having forged her name num-
Der OF times to checks for various Gums.
The young mans name is G. w. Reed,
and the family is from Mansfield, Ohio.
1t is said that Reed had always borne an
excellent reputation until he came to Los
Angeles, and at one time was quite an
active worker in church circles. Within
a short time he had taken to drink and
frequently went on long sprees. When
his money ran out and he was unable to
borrow any more he did not hesitate to
sign his mothers name to checks for
such amounts as he needed to continue
the debauch.
At fret the sorrowing mother was un-
willing to take any steps in the matter,
fearful of publicity and OF the possible
ruin to her son. She detailed the circum-
stances to Chief Burns, who advised that
she have the young man arrested, in the
hope that it would teach him valuable
lesson. A charge of felony may be
brought if the mother sees fit, but il is
probable that after a time behind the
bars the young man will be dismissed
without prosecution.
