Clocks a Century Ago.

A clook was an expensive luxury In
those days Il IL true that clocks had
been In use, more orless. for more than
q century. but they were largo and
costly, and the common means OF tell
ing the time OF the day was BY sun
dial or by pole set in the ground about
which it, shadow travelled. thus indica-
ting the time. The Connecticut max
ers first brought clocks within the reach
OF all. Toward the close OF the last
century Eli Terry. OF Plymouth. Conn. (.
commenced making the old-iashioned
hang-up clocks. in which the wheels
and teeth were cut by hand. Those al
fairs cost $25 each. In 1907 Mr. Terry
commenced making wooden clocks by
machinery. which greatly cheapened
them. Mr.. jerome invented the one
day brass clocks, stamping out the
wheels from soft brass plate In lew
years by the invention OF machinery.
the price Of these clocks was reduced
TO e. each. In 1912 clocks were sent
to England and from this small begin
ming Connecticut has become the cen.
ter of the worlds market for cheap

with them BE was willing 70 talk With
them on ordinary social or political topics,
but when any reference was made TO his
trouble or to means for defending himself,
he sternly refused to proceed further with
the conversation He declared that he
would have no lawyer and would defend
himself when the time came. and he still
persisted on making no explanation 10 any
body about his part Of the affair. The day
for the trial came, and Mr.. Brownlow was
placed In the prisoners bar before the
judge. The charge was read, and TO the
question Of the clerk, whether he was guilty
or not guilty, he responded in q clear tone:
"Not guilty"
"Mr. Brownlow," asked the Judge, "are
you represented by counselln
''No, sir, p was the reply.
do you not wish counsel to be appointed
for your'
mo, SIR" said Mr.. Brownlow. 81 pro
pose to defend myselfn
This is very serious matter, Mr..
Brownlow," said the Judge, sternly, "and
you do not do right to yourself or to the com
munity by refusing TO avail yourself Of such
opportunities as may be right TO clear your
self OF the charge which you have persist
emily denied"
Mr.. Brownlow smiled, bowed his head and
said not a word.
The judge thought the matter over for
several minutes, and, finally, turning to the
prisoner, said:
81 shall exercise the discretion vested in
me by the law and appoint counsel for you,
and in doing so shall choose one whom
think fitted to represent you faithfully in
this court Mr.. Henry Parker will act as
your Attorney
The gentleman named by the judge was
in the courtroom, as were n great many
other young lawyers attracted BY the case
and its peculiar circumstances. Mr.. Parker
felt that piece Of the greatest good fortune
had fallen to him on being chosen to act as
counsel for a very wealthy man, and he I'M
mediately rose TO move the adjournment of
the case until he could have a consultation
with his client.
The motion was Immediately granted, and
Mr.. Parker consulted with his client with
out delay. Mr.. Brownlow received him
coldly.
81 understand" said the young lawyer,
''the peculiar delicacy OF the situation in
which we find ourselves. You receive me
unwillingly and come to you unbidden by
yourself and yet compelled TO come by the
order Of the court Now, you will under
stand that in our relations nothing which is
said shall be prejudicial to your interests
1t is highly important that should know
the truth in this case in order to represent
your interests intelligently. VIII you not
disclose your knowledgeof the matter to me
for this purposeP'
''Mr. Parker" said Brownlow, coldly, ~
appreciate your courtesy, but can say
nothing. desire no defense, and you will
serve me best by Withdrawing at once from
the case"
The young lawyer argued for nearly an
hour with his obdurate client, but could
get no concessions from him of the nature
that he desired. Day after day he made
similar attempts, and when the adjourned
date Of the trial came TO hand he was no
nearer to his object than before.

MAINTAINING A NOVEL NUISANCE
Destroying Jacks Island, as Well as Vege-
table and Animal Life.
A BILL IN EQUITY OF MUCH INTEREST

1t may not be known to all, but such is
the case, that the Pennsylvania Salt Manu-
featuring Company at Natrona, on the
Allegheny river, not only make chemicals,
but smelts mineral ores containing lead,
copper and sulphur. Now the Arnold Coal
Company, limited, and William Metcalf,
Chairman of the company, complain that
they are individually and separately injured
both 'animally'' and "vegetably" by smoke,
vapor and fumes heavily charged with lead,
copper and sulphur from these works, which
are charged with being poisonous. injurious
and destructive with all the rich verbiage
necessary to set forth the complaint. Not only
are these destructive fumes liable, as plaintiffs
allege to destroy vegetable and animal life, but
by the destruction.of of the former to wipe out
or disintegrate 100 acres of terra frma known
as Jacks Island and distribute it over the
as the Arnold Coal Company, limited,
and Mr. Metcalf are not interested
in future real estate ventures in the gulf
they protest against thus contributing to the
welfare of coming people, who will know no
more of their benefactors than we know OF the
Mound Builders.
Complainants also say that present effect
of the fumes from the smelling works is to
produce physical pains and discomfort to per-
sons within reach of such fumes, as are all
persons upon said plaintiffs lands, or in the

1t is claimed that defendants knew, or should
have known the facts above charged, but not
withstanding this sin of omission or commits
sion, have carried on their smelling works
without providing means known to them and
used generally in England and this country, to
cleanse and deprive said smoke vapor and
fumes of poisonous substances, though notified
in September last that plaintiffs intended to
apply for an Injunction. 1t is also set forth
that defendants promised positively to remedy
the matter by November. in order to avert such
proceeding but have neglected to do so. The
Court of Common Pleas No. 2 is asked to grant
a preliminary Injunction to restrain defend
ants from operating their smelling works, pre-
liminarily, Jperpetually and finally. unless they
adopt adequate means to prevent the emission
of the poisonous substances complained of, etc,

Court. 1t will be remembered that Mr.. Price,
the shot manufacturer, has had much trouble
on account of similar complaint, and. unless
some compromise IS effected. there will be an
other opportunity for students of chemistry to
get free lessons in the Court House.

Not Believe the Charges.

The window Glass Manufacturer Does
Not Believe the Charges.
James A. Chambers, the window glass
manufacturer of this city, and wife left last
evening for New York City. In regard to
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's charges against
the Pennsylvania Railroad Mr.. Chambers
said:
Before we threw 81, 100000 into that town of
Jeanette we recognized the fact that we
would be at the mercy of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Accordingly we went to see Messrs.
Roberts. Thomson ana Cassatt of the company,
and had talk with them in regard to the mat
ter. We asked whether or not there would be
any discrimination against US and we were as
sured that there would not be any. They
stated that we would be treated the same as
other shippers and nobody or any locality would
be favored one way or the other.
l think the officials of the Pennsylvania
Railroad are men who know what they are do
ing and will not allow any discrimination, as it
would not be- politic to do so. They have
managed the road with singular success. and as
they got the most of their revenue from the
local business do not think they would do
anything that would tend to injure this bust
ness.

sEARLE's CHALLENGE.
The Australian Loaving His Country to Win
Great LaureIs.

The Australian Leaying His Country to Win
Great LaureIs.
SYDNEY, N. S. W., April 9.-Henry Searle,
the Australian oarsman, will leave Sydney on
May for England. On his arrival there he
will issue challenges to John Teemer, the
American oarsman, and VIM. ]. o'Connor, the
Canadian oarsman, to row on the Thames for
$500 each and the championship of the world.
Irrespective of challenges either from Searle
or O'Connor, it does not follow that champions
are even by custom compelled to leave their
native waters to row for the championship of
these waters. Teemer is champion of the
United States and certainly has Just claim to
be defeated for that title on United States
waters. OF course the championship of the
world is another matter, but the McKeesport
man need not forfeit the title that he now holds
even if he does not row Searle on the Thames.
The fact is O'Connor is now champion OF
Canada and America, but O'Connor cannot
possibly be the United States champion simply
because he is a Canadian.
However, it may and it may not be, that
Teemer will meet Searle on tho Thames. The
Teemer people got their pocket books emptied
at Washington, and 1eemer is in hope of secur-
ing three races with Gaudaur during June.
Beside these he has engagements made for
general contests that take place far into the
summer. If Searle is eager for world cham
pionship race, doubtless he will extend his con-
ditions at least those mentioned in the cable
gram above

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCHA
ST. LOUIS, April 9.-The accession of
Robinson, Chamberlain and Mccarthy en-
abled the Browns to easily defeat the Pitts
burg team to-day. The game was marked by
hard hitting, some clever outfelding and
display of loose Unfolding. Chamberlain
was effective when he chose to be, and held
the visitors down to a few scattering hits
until the Browns had the game safe. Then
he let down and Kuehne and Maui gave the
outielders some exercise. Staley was ham
mered around promiscuously, especially in the
seventh inning, when the hitting on the St.
Louis side became epidemic. Mccarthy was
the bright particular star of the day. He ran
the bases like a fash, and knocked out three
hits when hits were needed. Duffee took Cud-
worth's place in center, and justified the good
impression he has already made. He dropped
one ball. but redeemed himself by throwing
man out at the plate. Dunlap and Smith made
costly errors, and this rocky display was partly
atoned for by two fine long-running catches by
Nichols and Maui.
the Browns got man across the plate A hit
BY 0'Neill, sacrifice by Mccarthy and Pop"
Smiths error did the business. In the sixth
the Browns gathered three on Latham's base
on balls and safe hits by Robinson, ONeill and
Mccarthy. Pittsburg made one in the same
inning on Maurs base on balls, a steal, passed
ball and Kuehne's hit In the seventh the
Browns hit Staley hard.
A single and double by Milligan, Dunlap's
-
and singles by O'Neill and Mccarthy netted
the Browns seven runs. Smith and Nichols
both juggled balls and helped St. Louis along.
In the same inning Maui ana Lauer were given
bases on balls and errors by Milligan and Dutfee
and Dunlap's hit brought them home. Kuehne
made the circuit in the ninth on a base on balls,
Nichols hit and Fuller's error. Beckley's
double in the ninth, Dunlap's sacrifice, Maul's
base on balls. Kuehne's hit and Robinson's
wild throw netted Pittsburg two runs. The
score:

Local Ball PlayiuR,

A most exciting and closely contested base
ball match between the classical and business
departments of the Holy Ghost College was
witnessed last evening at the Exposition Park
by select and deeply interested audience.
The attention and eagerness of the players of
both sides showed how much it was held as a
point of honor to mount the highest score on
the occasion. Final results, however, proved
after two hours hard fighting that the classical
students can for the present hold their own,
having obtained the mastery by slight ad-
vantage under the able captaincy of Jas.
Quinn, seconded by ]. GIllen and Eugene
Reilly and the brothers Johnston. Captain
Lauer, for the business course. admirably sup
ported by H. Meyer and Geo. Mccarthy, dis
played excellent skill and prudence in the dis
posal of the PLAYERS. The return match is to
be played next Friday week.
