ELECTRIC LIGHT SUITS.
Litigation Between Westinghouse and
Edison.

Litigation Between Westinghouse and
Edison.
PITTsBURa, May 21.-The suit of the
Westinghouse Consolidated Electric Light
Company against the McKeesport or Edi-
son Electric Light Company, was taken
up in the United States Court to-day, be-
fore Justice Bradley of the United States
Supreme Court. The point at issue, in
addition to the fairness and correct
ness of the Sawyer patent, is the priority
of invention, thus is claimed by both
SAWYER and Edison. The former asserts
that he invented the filament compound
wears ago, but did not recognize its value
till Edison applied for patent. This is
denied. A fine array of counsel is engaged
on the case, including a number of prom
inent New York and Boston lawyers. The
argument will be limited to three days, so
that Friday and Saturday can be devoted
TO the consideration of the case.
All the testimony submitted and COM
mented on was printed and has been in
process Of correction for years.
Hon. John Dalzell opened the case for
the complainants. He claimed an incan-
descing electric lamp, consisting Of an IL
Illuminating chamber made wholly of glass.
hermetically sealed and out of which all
carbon-consumipg gas has been exhausted,
an electric circuit conductor passing
through the glass wall of said chamber and
hermetically sealed therein; an illuminat-
ing conductor in said circuit, consisting Of
carbon made from a ibrous or textile ma
terial.
G. P. Lowry opened for the defendant
by claiming that Edison has been expert
mentiug with carbOnizsd paper previous to
the time of the Sswyer-Msnn patents; that
the latter patent was impracticable, and
never went into use; that the methods
used by Edison, and Sawyer and Mann
were entirely different, and that the Edi-
SON patent was bamboo carbon and was
shaded like a horseshoe, whereas, in the
other it was simply straight carbon.

THE STORY Is FALSE.

No Truth In the Sensational Reports About
Fight With Detectives.
Special Telegram 10 the Res ister.
ELLENBORo, W. VA, May 21.-The
REGISTER correspondent has Investigated
the sensational reports published to-day
about a fight between detectives and the
friends of the murderers of Morgan and find
them to be absolutely false.
The story referred to was telegraphed
from Parkersburg and is as follows:
For some time detectives have been
working clews in the Jacob Morgan case of
Tyler county. MOrgan's murder, which
was reported at the time, was cold. blOOded
aud prerneditsted. His wife and a neighbor
were arrested, but released because the evil
deuce was not sufficient to hold them.
Detectives Burnett and Gale and Constable
Unemstetter obtained more evidence, and
last Friday went to the Morgan neighbor-
hood to make arrests. On Saturday
night, while stopping at the residence
of Mrs. Wyke, they were notified they
would be attacked before morning. The
detectives made preparations to receive the
attacking party, and ebOut o'clock IN the
morning number Of men surrounded the
house and demanded the surrender of the
officers, who replied by firing st the party.
The mob returned the fire and riddled the
house with bullets, wounding Gale in the
arm. Oae of the assailants was reported
mortally wounded and two others badly
hurt before they retired. In the morning
the officers found blood marks in the
woOds, showing that several had been hurt
and carried off, but did not succeed in cap
turing any of the gang. They then sent
for reinforcements and returned to the
scene of the fight, and are hourly expecting
another attack. The alleged murderers are
reported as desperate and determined, and,
it is believed, will make hard fight before
they surrender. Great excitement is re-
ported in that part of Tyler county over
the affair.
