BOTH ACT TOGETHER.
Westinghouse and Edison Join Hands
in a Big Electric Suit
FOR INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS.
A Voluntary Plea of Manslaughter in the
Draper Murder Case.
GENERAL NEWS OF TIE COUNTY COURTS

An electric litigation commenced yester-
day in New York, the results of which will
be watched with great interest by all the
electric companies of the United States, be-
cause it is to be made test case of estab-
fishing the rights of patent which was ap-
piled for seven years ago. The invention,
which is covered by the patent, has for sew
eral years been in use by most of the electric
companies in the country.
The suit was entered by the United States
Electric Company, as lessee of the Westing-
house Electric Company, against the Man
haitian Electric Light Company, Linn, of
New York, for using electric apparatus in
vented by Edward Weston, assignee to the
Westinghouse Electric Company. The in
vention involves the construction of arma-
lures for electric generators and other ap-
paratus. Mr.. Weston applied for the patent
of his invention in 1882, and it was only
issued last Tuesday. The delay was oc-
casioned by protracted interference of
Thomas A. Edison. This interference ter
minated in the award of the patent to Mr..
Weston.
Mr.. Edison, however, who from the be-
ginning realized the Importance of the in
vention, as we'll as the fact that Weston
would get his patent, obtained thereupon
from the United States Electric Company a
license to operate the invention under the
patent. On this account the patent can
only be legitimately used by the Westing-
house interests and by the Edison company.
For this reason all the other companies, who
have also been operating under this patent
the invention, which is of great importance
and necessity to many direct and alternating
current apparatus, all electric companies,
except the Edison, are liable for infringe
ment. The object of the suit, therefore, is to
make these companies either cease using
the invention or else pay a royalty to the
Westinghouse company.
A popularity of the case is that this is
the first time the interests of Westinghouse
and Edison are identical, because the result
of the suit will affect them in the same man
ner.

REFLEX TROUBLE.
That is What Experts Cali Daisy Hutchin-
sons Aflmenf.


The inquiry as to the sanity of Daisy
Hutchinson was continued yesterday be-
fore John Shoemaker. Esq, the mas
ter in the case. DIR. r. s. Sutton
testifeds that he has known Daisy
Hutchinson since 1879, when she was pa
tient at Passavant's Hospital. He had
talked with her before the hearing began,
and noticed no particular change in her
condition, other than she seemed to be
more irascible in temper. He thought she
was victim Of mild form of insanity,
which he thinks is the outcome Of an all
ment from which she suffered; her insanity
was what is called histromania. He
thought there was no necessity to put her in
an asylum, in fact it would be cruel to
place her there. DR.. Sutton informed his
hearers that they were dealing with case
of reflex trouble, and not insanity. He
thought. however, that she would at times
be victim of paroxysm of temper, and
might, while In that condition, do some
harm to either herself or relatives; while he
thought she should not be confined in an
asylum, there should be guardian ap-
pointed for her. She was never addicted to
the use of drugs or intoxicating liquors of
any kind.
While DR.. Sutton was giving his testi-
mony Miss Hutchinson sat watching him
with grave face; when in the midst of the
examination the question of conining her
in lunatic asylum was spoken of she
broke down and left the room crying Bit
terly. DR.. Sutton stated that the fact of her
breaking down was evidence that she was
not clearly insane.
L. Markowitz testified that he had known
Daisy Hutchinson for 13 years. Within
the last six months she has been acting
queerly, and some time ago she told him,
when speaking of paper she was supposed
to have signed, that she did not know what
she was doing, that she was crazy. He also
stated that he met her on Grant street some
time ago, and she accosted him and acted
lske crazy woman. He stated that she
sold her household effects to Nora Lee for
"a, 500, and made rather the best of the bar
gain, as the goods were not worth half of
that amount.
After hearing this witness an adjourn
ment was made until this afternoon at 2
o'clock.

ARGUMENTS TODAY
In the WeIghty Case of Lock and Dam Con-
demuation.

demDation.
The taking of testimony in the proceed
ings to condemn lock No. z, on the Monon-
gahela river, was finished yesterday. Colo
mel R. 7. Merrill testified that when the
lock was finished in 1884 the cement was in
good condition and the work looked all
right. c. L. Mcdonnell, who built the lock,
testified to the same effect.
William Martin, engineer at the Davis
Island dam, had passed through the lock
twice in 1887. The lower end of the river
wall was displaced and some Of the joints
were open for two inches. He was asked
about the cement used and said they had
used small quantity of it on pair of
steps; it swelled and would not hold. To
make a good job the river wall of lock No.
Z would have to be rebuilt.
John w. Arras, civil engineer, said 80
feet of the river wall will have to be rebuilt.
If properly constructed at first dam will
improve with age; but if not built right it
cannot improve.
James 81. Harlow. the engineer who had
charge of the dam when it was built, thought
the cement was all right when he used it.
He had since found that it swells and parts
from the stone.
The arguments will take place this morn
ing. Mr. Shiras will open, Mr.. Allen will
follow and Mr.. Carnahan will close.

HAVE A CIGAR2

A Grain MINIS Clerks Enjoy Joke at His
Expense.
A drummer left box of fine cigars with
a well-known grain merchant in this city
for his own use As the merchant did not
smoke, and is therefore poor judge of a
cigar, he concluded it would be good plan
to distribute them among his customers.
Now his clerks were smokers, and they
like good cigar, so they bought lot of
cheap tobies and substituted them for the
high-priced Havanas. The innocent mer-
chant ignorant Of what had been done,
would usually say to visitor: Have a
good cigar on me- 1 think you will enjoy
one," at the same time presenting the box.
The visitors generally looked at the mer-
chant significantly.

. New war to Catch Rat..

Carralton sGa.) Times
Mr.. S. E. Helton, of near Curtis, tells us
of a novel way he has of catching rats. He
fills washtub two-thlrds full of water,
covers the water with cotton seed and
sprinkles handful of meal on the seed.
The rat comes, jumps into the pot and is
drowned before it can get out. Mr.. Helton
says he bas caught at least 70 in the past
ten days, having got 10 in one night. Rats
are great pest and all farmers should try
this method OF catching them.

MILK GETS CHEAP.

The Creamery Company Supplies Retailers

Mr.. Reed, of the CHARTERS Creamery

dealers 10 take their future supply of milk
from him. The Creamery Company pro-
poses to sell the milk to the grocers at IL
cents per gallon in the summer and at 20
cents in the winter.
The Producers Union claim this to be
great move against the dealers. because the
grocer is now enabled to get milk cents
cheaper than the dealer ever furnished it.
The dealers say, however, that their Gus
toners will sooner pay them II cents for
milk than Mr.. Reed,

admirable selection of delegates to the
meeting of August goth by. ViceI
President Carr, a list of which we
publish, is a guarantee that our State
will be strongly and ably represented
We are more than gratiied to believe
it, for questions of great magnitude
to the South and to u State will be
considered, and we will need our best
and wisest men, On our recent visit
to Montgomery we found a lively in
terest among the good people of that
city in the meeting, and we hope that
at. least fifty of the gentlemen ar-
pointed by Mr.. Carr will attend. They
will meet representative men from all
the Southern States and a royal re-

quote as follows: "The Alliance is
having a nice growth in Kentucky
now, but it is not as rapid as I could
wish to see it. Our organizations
have more than doubled in strength
since, January. We have eleven
County Alliances and Sub-Alliances
in six or seven other counties. In the
whole State there are one hundred
and fifty Sub-Alliances, working in
good order, under charters. There
are also quite a number working
under dispensations. We have had a
hard struggle to set the Alliance
squarely upon it's feet, but believe 1t
can now stand the storm, as it is free
from debt, or financial en- Embarrassment,
with sufficient funds to meet probable
demands. We are in great need OF
efficient organizers. We allow organ
izers the regular fee allowed by the
National Farmers Alliance and Co,
operative Union of America, which is
a fair compensation. If you have
some good organizers that you can
dispense with, tell them to come over
to Kentucky, and help US. AS the OLD

FARMERS INSTITUTE DURING

THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
i calls for a State Institute OF
North Carolina Farmers, to be held at
the State Fair, October 14th, in the
afternoon, and to continue, with ad:
journed meetings, all the week. Every
farmer who attends during the week
can participate and carry home rich
information. The best authorities
on agricultural specialties will be in
vited to address the farmers. These
addresses will be printed, with field
crop premiums. The history of the
whole crop will be given It will be
a paper worth its weight in gold dust.
The Progressive FARMER calls for
this State Institute. A thousand in
telligent farmers will attend daily and
will disseminate what they learn. 1t
will be a big day in the education of
farmers.
