AN oUTnnEAIk FEARED
At the Scenes of the Recent Outrage,
Near ArroIu. Miss.

VIcEsBuRG, Miss, Jan. G-There has
been much excitement during the day over
expected trouble at Arcola, Washington
County, Miss. Several negroes were ar
rested there some days ago, charged with
burning Col. Paxton's residence. 1t
was stated then by one of tho
negroes that the plot was also to
murder the occupants. The cause of tho
excitement is that the negroes in
that vicinity have assembled in consdera-
Bile numbers and threatened vengeance.
About fifty Winchesiers were sent from
this place to Arcola this morning. A
train has been held in readiness all day,
and on receipt OF the iirst news OF the dam
ger, the Southorns, under command Of
Capt. Searls, will leave for that point.

There have been thus far in our history

but President Adams, on March %, 1907,
in consequence Of the threatened trouble
with France, did call Congress together by
proclamation which has been followed as

Tom Daly, the Washington catcher, is not reserved for next season. He IS working for record. His playing has been the best in his baseball career.

 Farrell's catching is improving with every game. He is not only almost 8 per- feet backstop, but he fires the ball around the bases and picks of @ runner or two every game.
 The trip of the baseball aggregation around the world is bearing fruit. Ned Hanlan says that baseball is booming in Melbourne, where five clubs are playing regularly.
 vice-President Waltz of the Baltimore club says that the classification scheme is unjust for the reason that the home people are the best judges of what salaries the players should receive.
 An exchange says that the Washingtons are beginning to find fault with Carney. They really miss first baseman like John Morrill,. Just the same, Carney leads Wash .ngton in sacrifice hitting.
 rwitchel stole six bases in seventy-seven games, Bastian stole five in seventy four, Buckley two in thirty-four, Connor seven in seventy-one, Thompson eight in seventy one, Beckley five in forty-eight.
 Cleveland and Philadelphia have been the most formidable opponents New York has had. The latter club has mad to meet these teams at most critical points when these hines were playing phenomenal ball.
 Pinkney, Collins and Corkhil, of tho Brooklyns, have not missed championship game this season. The former has played in every game of the club since the spring of 1686-a most remarkable and creditab1e showing.
 McGeachy's fielding has not only been the best of any right fielder in the league, but better than that of any outfelder in the league. When it is mentioned that he has had twenty-four assists and fielder like Johnston has had only seven some idea of the work he has done may be imagined Boston Herald.

ELECTRICAL EXTRACTS.

PASSENGER elevators having electric motors are much in use in England, the Bank of England being the last to utilize their electric plant for such Q purpose.
 ELECTRICIANS are giving considerable att tention to the question of the element of danger contained in the too close proximity of lightning conductors to gas and water mains.
 IN1ZA;roR EDISON is at work on @ s'far- sights machine, which he hopes to have perfect in time for the worlds fair in 1892. By its aid, the inventor says, it will be pos slble for man in New York to see the feat ures of friend in Boston.
 GREAT BRITAIN counts on soon having the largest dynamo in the world. It is being made for the new electric-hght works at Deptford. The shaft of the machine will be turned out of block of steel weighing seventy-five tons, which has just been cast in Glasgow.
 A COMMITTEE in Leeds, Eng, having given the matter of incandescent lights 8 thorough investigation, have concluded that great improvement in the flaments is necessary, for, although made to burn is between 500 and 600 hours only.
 EXPERIMENTS with electric boats on the Thames have resulted in the conclusion that electrically propelled boats having the same dimensions as those propelled by steam, although rather more expensive, have much larger carrying capacity, owing to the greater space occupied by the steam boiler and machinery.
 SOME curious electrical experiments have been made by M. De Fonvielle at the sum- nit of the Eiffel tower. The atmosphere around the top of the tower, one thousand feet from the ground, is free from all ipf1u- ence of the soil, and the air is in an extra ordinarily active electrical state. The tower will, it Is said, be the most perfect con. ductor of electricity during a storm, and all within it will enjoy absolute immunity from all danger from lightning.
 A NOVEL use Is made of the electric light on the St. Lawrence river near the Thou. sand Island resorts. One of the lights has been placed at the end of a yard-arm on the steamer St. Lawrence, which has dynamo aboard. The light stands in front of 8 pow erful reflector; and as the boat steams about at night among the islands the with startling distinctness their beauty and the beauty of the landscape. AN electrical writer has calcula ted that the firing of small pistol sets free about 600 foot-pounds of energy, while 8 watch consumes about one fifty four millionth o1 horsepower, the energy of the bullet be- ing sufficient to keep the time for two years. An Edison telephone transmitter requires about thousandth of tue energy in 6 watch. It would there fore be worked for 2,OOO years on the energy exerted in the pistol. A lightning flash of $500, 900 volts and 14,OOO GOO amperes, lasting one twenty | thousandth of second, would run 100 horse power engine for ten hours.
