How the vi1est Became Pure-Clcver
Scheme Successfully Worked on Distiliers
and Saloonists.
CHICAGO. May 18.-A scheme rivaling
in some respects the famous electric sugar
raining swndle, was exposed here to-day.
Inc perpetrator Is a smooth hammered
young fellow named John Archibald
Comp, whose papers indicate that he has
been operating not only in Chicago but
also at Kansas City, St Louis and Cincin-
natl. Comp is now missing, and 1t is said
that good many thousand dollars belong
ing to various distil ers and liquor dealers
have disappeared with him. Comp stopped
at the Metropolitan Hotel, and, accord
ing to the report of the detectives
who have been investigating the mat
ter, he was visited by scores Of dupes.
The fellow pretended TO possess a COM
pound which would change poor whisky
into the finest of highwines. A gallon sam
pie of the vilest "forty rod" after being
medicated would be placed in refrigera-
tor and in ten minutes could be taken
out tran ierred into the finest Bourbon
If objection was made to the refrigera-
tor, Comp would accompany the doubter
to any place desired, and then retiring
to private room accomplish the same
feat without the refrigerator. 1t
now turps out however, that the
refrigerator was really, as suspected,
clever device by which bottle contain
ing good whisky was substituted for the
bad. The trick when performed elsewhere
than at the refrigerator was done by
means of tin breast plato or armor worn
under Comps clothing. This armor was
double, and in reality reservoir, which,
by means of concealed tube, could be
emptied or filed at will Comp was in
weighed into taking a detective 6nto
partnership with him, but when an arrest
was contemplated smelt mouse and fed,
leaving behind the refrigerator. He car
ried Off the arnor.

quite singular marriage has just been
brought to light which was celebrated
in New York City on April 80. The con-
tracing parties reside in Lewis and

CHICAGO, May 1S-Frank Jasnski, aged
sixteen, stepped out in front of his fathers
saloon last night with rifle in his grasp.
G!ancing down the street he saw Frank
Kiowski, n lad of his own ago, and an &C :
quaintance, standing in the front door of
his home Jasinski raised the rifle, took
deliberate aim and fred Kiowski fell, the
ball having passed through his body two
inches above the heart. Jasinski then coolly
took aim and fired at another quaintance.
Mike Meka, who stood at the front door of
his home, one hundred feet away, and
Meka fell to the ground, the ball having
entered six inches below the left shoulder
blade. Jasinski escaped. Kiowski's
wound is fatal, Lut Meka's injury is not
considered serious. Jasinski belongs to
the same gang" with young Kuberowski,
who, without provocation, shot a lad
named Trinor last Sunday night Jasin-
ski had gathered in his room wild

A POISONED RIVER.
Fish Dying by Wholesale and AMI
mails Which Drink Succumb.
Ind dications that n Glucose Factory is tho
Source of tho Trouble.

DEsMoINEs, IA, May 2O.-Secretary
Kennedy, of the State Board Of Health,
returned from Tama yesterday and re-
ported to the Governor concerning the
wholesale death of fish in the Iowa river,
from Marshalltown down. The doctor
made very careful examination, and
brought samples of the water for analysis.
He found the case to bo fully as
bad as claimed. Dead fish float in
the water, and are deposited on the banks
and in the eddies in purifying masses,
A sticky substance Is found covering the
fish and other objects in the water. AMI
mails will not drink the water unless COM
PEELED by absolute necessity, and some
deaths of stock are reported from the
effects of drinking it. Three persons
drank the water and were taken seriously
ILL., Dying fish taken from the river and
placed in other water soon survive, show
ing that the pollution is in the river alone
The stencil is very offensive and the
contamination extends for fifty miles.
Even the Musquakie Indians, whose lands
are on the river, have joined in
the complaint, claiming that it has
caused the death of a number of their po-
nies. They will not touch a fish from the
river. DR.. Kennedy was not prepared to
say that the pollution originated from the
glucose works at Marshalltown, but will
make further investigation. The fact that
it begins at Marshalltown indicates that
something is wrong at that point The
Fish Commissioner will act with the State
Board of Health in the matter. The laws
of the State are very strict on this SUBJ
ject and thorough investigation will be
nnda

RAPID TRANSIT.

Mails and Such Matter Sent at the Ratio OF
Over Two Hundred Miles an Hour.
NEW YonK, May IA new scheme Of
transportation Is to be introduced between
New York and Boston, whereby, 1t Is said,
large packages of mail and even cars CON-
talning passengers can be whsked from
one place to another, a distance of 23O
miles, in less than an hour. This would
be equal to speed of four miles per min
ute An experiment with the new ma
chine was seld yesterday in Boston in
the presence of many scientists, including
Prof A. A. Dolbear, of Tufts col
lege, who announced that he was
thoroughly satisfied of tho success of
the system. The inventor, John G.. Will
liams, is n resident of this city. His ma
chine consists of a magnetic car, hanging
from single rail, where 1t follows a streak
of electricity. With one horse power it is
said that one ton can be thus transported
n distance of / 40 miles a day at a cost
of 30 centa This, in mail matter, would
represent some 2.SS( 900 letters and by
this system packages of mail could be sent
off every five minutes if necessary,
thus preventing large accumulations.
The sin gle track is to be carried
on tripods some distance above the
ground, and the car will pass through coils
of insulated wire at intervals. In the ex-
periments yesterday the carriage exhib-
tied was mounted on wooden track on
posts about three feet high, with an
ascent of six inches in fifty feet, and it
ran on one wheel at each end. The scien-
tific principle involved is said to be that
by which hollow coil of insulated wire
will draw a magnet into itself. The car
passing through such coil cuts Off tho
current and goes on to the ono ahead.

New York. May lS-G. E. Rutber, of
Bridgeport, Conn, claims to have discov-
cred new system whereby a material re-
duction of labor in the fire department
may be brought about. 1t is called the
electric fire engine" and consists of q
motor to take the place of the present t
steam engine. The motors would receive
their power from the dynamos of the elec-
trio lighting companies. Mr.. Rutber's
idea is to lay down wires from the nearest
dynamos to boxes placed in close proxim-
ity to every hydrant. The instant an
alarm of fire is sounded an automatic ar
rnngement would start the dynamos sup
plying the power. On the arrival OF the
engine at the scene of the fire connection
of the wires would be made and the pumps
set to work Immediately.
