That Board Bill Cnse IL Decided In Favor
of Representative Brown.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAu TO THE DIerAroH.i
HARRISBURG, July 5.-At the adjourn
ment of the Legislature Representative
Brown, of Beaver, was arrested at the in
stance of Miss Hannah NJ. Ross for the al
legged non-payment of board bill. At the
beginning Of the session Representative
Brown engaged board for himself and son
and a transcribing clerk named Bliss.
Brown and Bliss left the boarding house on
February % and paid the amount due from
them, except that the member from Beaver
declined to pay a claim for board against
his son during three weeks absence from
this city. Miss Ross held Representative
Brown for board for the entire session for
the three persons indicated, amounting to
S2O1, outside of that paid to her. Alder
man Msurer gave judgment against the
Representative, aud an appeal was made to
the Dauphin County Court by the defend
ant. 10y
Judge Simonton, to-day reversed the
action of the Alderman in an opinion in
which he says: "a member of the General
Assembly is undoubtedly privileged from
arrest during his attendance on public busi-
ness confded to him. This privilege con-
tinues to exist for such reasonable time as is
necessary for the member to return from the
capital to his residence after the end of the
session. In this case the summons was
served within less than "a hours after the
session had ended, and a reasonable time had
not therefore elapsed"

CONCERNING CoBWEBs.
Pref CIayes Tells How the Spider Makes
Her Home.


Her Home.
The Swiss Cross.I
Each individual spider is endowed with .
spinneret, or natural spinning machine,
through whIch can be drawn innumerable
strands, 80 fine that they can be seen only
under powerful microscope (Leeuwen-
hoeck claims that it takes 4, 4,00O, 900 OF these
strands to make thread as thick as hair
from q mans head). First, our spider be-
gins to draw from out her spinneret cord
of as many Of these strands as seem to her
good, and fastens it to some leaf or twig.
then runs on another leaf, spinning all the
while; fastens again to that; and to another
and another; continuing until q circle is
formed inclosing as large space as she de-
signs for the outer boundary Of her web.
Then she passes back and forth over her
work. adding fresh threads, and strengthen
ing this outer line, which she secures to
every possible object. Finally she stops.
fastens her thread with special care, and be-
gins to run around the circle, spinning as
she goes; but now carrying her fresh threads
csrefully raised upon one hind foot. thus
keeping it from touching the older strands
and becoming glued to them. When half
way around she stops. pulls her thread
tight, fastens it very strongly, and firm
line is drawn straight across the center of
the circle. She runs down this center line
to the middle, fastens another thread to it
there, carries 1t to q new point on the outer
edge. fastens it, and we now see that she
web that look so like the spokes of q wheel.
She repeats this operation again and
again, until all the radii or spokes are
formed. When they are done she carefully
tests each thread by pulling, to make sure
that it is firm and strong; and, If one proves
unsatisfactory, she either strengthens or
remakes il altogether. Now that the main
lines are built, our spider goes once more to
the center point, and begins to spin again
this time in circles-fastening to each radi-
us as she passes. At first these circles, or
more correctly spirals, are placed quite close
together, but she leaves ever q wider and
wider space between as she approaches the
outer edge. The outer circle and the radii
where spun of silk which becomes dry di-
rectly after leaving the spiders body. is Of
great strength and very firm; but these
spirals are formed of substance which
differs essentially.
When first drawn from the spinneret it is
extremely glutinous-a most important
property, as by this it is enabled to adhere
tenaciously to the radii-and it is, besides,
50 highly elastic as to be capable of being
pulled far out of place without breaking.
When the spirals are finished, the spider
returns again to the center, and proceeds to
bite off the points of all the radIi close to
the first sncircling line, by which she much
increases the elasticity of her web. 1t is in
or beneath this central opening that the
spider usually sits and watches for the com.
ing of her prey.

THE LATEST CRONIN SUSPECT.
He IL Released From jail After a Very
Brief Confinement.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The mysterious Gro.
min suspect about whom the police made SO
much ado last night and to-day, has been re-
leased after being in close confinement 20
hours. Notwithstanding the reports that he
bore the striking resemblance to Patrick
Cooney, "The Fox" it turns out that
the ex-prisoner is q Frenchman named
Frank Tremble. Frank separated from
his wife not long ago, and has
been resorting to various outlandish
expedients to conceal his whereabouts. In
his cups he talked about DR.. Cronin in a
way that, coupled with other matters, led
to a suspicion that the young Frenchman
was in some manner connected with the
great Clan-na-Gael conspiracy.

Investigating at Boston.
BosToN, July 6.-Before the Interstate
Commerce Commission to-day c. s. Mellen,
General Traffic Manager of the Union
Pacific, said that the competition that
his road felt in connection with
Canadian lines was in transcontinentsl.
He quoted from Canadian Pacific figures to
show the increase in its traffic, and said this
was due to too large differentials allowed
the Canadian Pacific. These large diff
ferentials were given to keep up
profitable rates, but the result showed that
the Canadian Pacific could charge lower
rate than American roads, and thus get the
business. ~; - -
IT differcntiais were done away with, the
Canadian Pacific would come in as free
lance and make such rates that
no road could do business at q
profit. They could afford 1t on account
OF Government aid. The Canadian Pacific
also had the advantage, from the fact that
it did not have to scale through rates ac-
cording to local rates, as American roads
did. A number Of other railroad officials
testified to the same effect.

NEW ORLEANS, July 5.-John L. Sui
livan and his immediate retinue are COM
fortably established at private boarding
house. No. % North Rampant street. oppo-
site the rooms of the gymnastic club, where
the redoubtable fighter takes his daily work.
The house is besieged from morning till
night by a crowd of curious men and boys,
who patiently wait for hours for the bare
possibility of catching a glimpse Of the
world-renowned pugilist, who is as difficult
of access as the Czar Of Russia and receives
absolutely no visitors.
The faithful Muldoon, whose skillful aud
patient training has brought him to his
present state of physical perfection, never
leaves him for an instant. and allows no one
but Mike Clesry, his devoted assistant
trainer, and Dan Murphy, Boston friend,
to converse with him except in his pres
ence. Sullivan now weighs 2o2 pounds,
and the severe training he underwent be-
fore he arrived here has been abandoned,
although he will take more exercise than an
ordinary man could endure without COM
plete exhaustion.
This morning he rose at O'Clock, and
after sponge bath and good rubbing,
and stale bread. At 10 o'clock, accompa-
MED by Muldoon and Cleary, he walked
across the way to the rooms OF the Gymnas-
tic Club aud spent hours there in exercise
that caused the perspiration to drip from
him as if he had just stepped out of bath.
Some Very Lively Work.
No one was admitted to see his work but,a
half dozen friends, who accompanied him
from New York. In his dressing room Sulli-
van stripped to his heels. Then he got into
pair of green trunks held in position by q
belt fastened tight. A pair of shoes and
heavy grey woolen socks was his only other
apparel. Muldoon and Cleary wore tights.
Then the proceedings began. A football
filled with -four or meal, and weighing %
pounds, was tossed from Sullivan to Null
doom and then back again. a distance of %
feet.
The pet of Boston delivered and received
this heavy ball for 40 minutes without be-
traying any signs of weakness. Neither
Muldoon nor Clesry could stand the test Of
endurance, so they alternated, taxing ten
minutes of the work each, while Sullivan
finished fresh as a daisy after his long
stand against both of them. Those who
saw Sullivan hurl that ball with one hand
