Electricity Generated Primarily.

For many years there have been vain
attempts made TO generate from a pri-
mary battery sufficient electricity to
produce constant light cheaply
enough To compete with a dynamo. IL
is now claimed that il has been accom-
plished. There is on exhibition at 80
Twelfth street batteries producing a
clear and beautiful light: also furnishing
power for running machinery. Major
Frank Aldrich,. who is in charge of the
exhibition, is general manager of the
Voltic Electric Light and Power Co. Of
Washington. ID. c. Several prominent
gentlemen here, among whom are Hon.
G.. w. Atkinson. Cowden and others,
are forming a company for this State.
Che of the most remarkable lights on
exhibition is what is called,the Miners
Electric Lamp" 1t is only six inches
high by four wide: can be carried in the
hand, and will furnish an electric light
for ten hours at an expense OF two
cents. Many of our merchants are
anxious to make trial of the new SyS-
TEN of lighting in their stores.

WHEEITNG W. VA WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER TO- 1890
MURDER IN COURT.
4 Litigant Shoots Her Two Brothers-in-
Law Fatally

HAMERSVILLE, o., September "a
terrible tragedy occurred here last even
ing during the trial of George Barngro-
yer VS.. Joseph Hiler, before Squire Van
dament. A Mr.. Hiler died some months
ago, leaving 4 will in which he devised
IL ost of his property to two Of his sons
and two daughters, TO the exclusion OF
other children. There has been talk of
couteSting the will, and much bitterness
has been manifested. This was a case
for damages under an alleged breach of
contract between Joseph Hiler and
Barngroyer, who was one of the SONS
in-law of Mr.. Hiler.
During the trial Constable l. n. Al
len, another Son-in-law, stepped to the
door, when a pistol shot was heard.
Allen came staggering into the room
and fell across chair, cXclaiming:
''John Hiler did it," Before the terri
fed spectators could realize what had
happened the murderer was seen stand
ing i'm the middle OF the crowded court
room, and fired q second shot, which
took effect in the right breast of George
Barngrover, passing entirely through
his body.
The excitement was indeScribable,
the Court room being crowded with
men and women. As Hiler rushed from
the Court room into the darkness he
was heard to remark: II have loads
for two more men," 1t is supposed that
he meant by the remark John Hilcr, Jr.,
cousin to the murderer and an import
ant witness in the case, and Attorney
w. f. McBeth, who has charge of the
case for the plaintiff. The town is
aroused and searching for the murderer,
who is still at large.

IN TIGHT QUARTERS
RAUM SQUIRMS WIEN TIE INVESTIGATION
is PRESSED.
His Friends Refuse to Allow Proof 70 be Brought
Of the Fraudulent Refrigerator Scheme.
Lively Days Work Before
the Committee.

WAsmINGToN, September lO.-B9fore the
Raum Committee to-day John c. Dougher-
ty. of Tennessee, said that Bradley Tanner
had shown TO him the refrigerating appa-
ratus in the Patent Oflice, suggesting that
il would be a good investment. He was
not an employe Of the Pension Office.
II. Rossback, a citizen Of Washington,
and a mechanical engineer, had exhaust
lively investigated the subject Of mechan-
cal refrigeration, while erecting an ice
plant i'm Memphis several years ago he had
met Frank 4. Smith, whom he had
since met here and been told he
was the patentee Of the Universal
refrigerator At this point the Commls-
sioner objected TO the line OF inquiry. Mr..
Cooper said that he would prove by the
witness that at Memphis he first met the
patentee of the scheme; that he
was working on the citizens Of
Memphis; that an effort was made
there TO create corporation just as had
been here, that the citizens Of Memphis
had invested in IL and that the patentee had
decamped Just as he had done in California
afterwards. That he next came 10 the
Pension ONCE as the best place TO work-a
place dedicated to the soldiers of the cOun-
try and organized the scheme with the aid
Of the head of the Bureau and that the
scheme was fraud.
sMYsER RECEIVES THE LIE DIRECT.
Mr.. Smyser was recalled. Mr. Cooper
asked if he had not told Mr. Lewis, "a
member of the committee), that he had no
money interest in the stock. Mr.. Smyser
replied thai he did not tell him anything Of
the kind Mr.. Lewis jumped TO his feet
and said he did The two fatty ycontrdicted
each other until interrupted by the COM
mittec.

Admission to Squire Ankles Office
last evening ought to have been fifty
cents head But 10 wasn't. And the
consequence was q crowd barricaded the
doors and windows of the Office for some
two hours II was a case Of Mrs. Adam
Ackerman against her husband. who She
charged with stealing two promlSsory
notes. a 500 gold piece and other things
from her trunk, last Friday. while she
was absent from the house, and in addi-
tion thereto Adam was charged with GER
tain inciyiltcS, such as throwing bricks
and other missiles at his wife.
The two promissOry notes
stolen amounted In the az
aregatc to $3.50. Adam and his wife
reside on Wood street, and several Of
the ncighbors in the locality were called
I'm as witnesses. But the fun Of the
evening came when Adam and his wife
were on the stand. They tried TO tell
about four times as much as they new,
and invariably got the cart before the
horse. Aftcrcyery question there came
a tangle of answers worse than an
African Jungle. The Ackerman'S are
German. and they speak somewhat
broken English, and it was their curious
expressions that amused the crowd. 1t
was as good as circus.
There were really three cases in con-
sidcration. In addition to the charge
Of felony Adam was also charged with
two cases Of assault and battery. the
decision in all three of which Squire
Arkle reserved till tomorrow night.
Prosecuting Attorney Howard and Capt.
Doyener appeared for the State. and
Col. Robert White for the defense.

4 LIVELY TIME.
Chief Delbrugge in Search of a Murderer
and the Time lie Had.


On the 10th Of November, 1889, John
Donovan committed 4 murder at Find
lay, o., and succeeded in making his
escape Donovan is said 10 be a Wheel
ing man, his mother residing on High
street, where his father was drowned in
Il cistcrn about year or little more
ago. as readers of the REGISTER will
probably recollect The Ohio authori-
ties communicated u suspicion that
Donovan might be at the home OF his
mother, I'm this city, and yesterday
Chief Dclbruggc, Officer Shorts and
Constable Laughlin went up to High
street to see if the man was about. The
Chief had been told by Constable
Laughlin that Donovan was desperate
as well as q treacherous character,
and that every precaution ought
to be taken, and also that his
mother would probably be on the watch
at the house. Sure enough, when the
officers approached the house, they saw
Mrs. Donovan ON the porch. As She
caught sight OF the officers, She at
once went to the front door, where she
evidently apprizcd some one within OF
the approach of the blue-coats, and as
Chief Delbrugge and his men got
nearer, she ran inside and closed tho
door. The Chief ran to the door and
broke it open. while Officers Shorts and
Lauchln went around the back way
When the officers got into the house
Mrs. Donovan started mp stairs, hollow
ing to some one above her. She was
caught and the house subjected to q
most thorough search. but no trace oi
any one could be- found. although the
Chief stated last night he felt sure hel
son was somewhere about the premises
whom he first arrived.
