CorToN-sEED OIL VERSUS LARD.

Interesting Discussion on the Subject by
Members ofthe House--A Farmers' Measure.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.--When the bill
defining lard was taken up in the House
to-day it was vigorously opposed by Mr..
McClammy of North Carolina.
Mr.. Mason of Illinois said this was fight
between the packers of impure lard and
the packers of refined compound lard. It
was trade fight and had no place in Con-
gress. He was IN favor Of branding every
article in the market for what il really
was. He was as much opposed to food
adulteration as any man in the House.
The compound lard men were charged
with defending fraud and counterfeiting.
That charge was false. This bill struck

The Folly Of Lightnlng.Rod de-.

In the ordinary electric storm a house
would usually fare better without the pro-
lection of the lightning rods, because the
rally strike a tree, a high rock, or some other
elevated object in proximity to the house,
and would not be attracted to the house by
the iron or copper rod. In other words, II
the lightning rod will do what is claimed by
the manufacturer, it becomes at once dan
gerous fixture, simply because If it does at.
tract the electricity it affords no adequate
means of taking care of 1t, and 1t would be
far better to let the cloud discharge at some
other point than the house, rather than to
take the risk of its discharge down the oon-
ductor, with almost a certainty of its divi-
ding up and entering the house, Irrespective
of any insulation known to the arts.
Lightning always takes the shortest con.
ductor to the earth, and undoubtedly tall
trees in the vicinity of house are an Ell
cient safeguard. 1t has been suggested by
experts in electricity that very efficient
safeguard would be to run large iron or
copper conductor into q tree, and then If the
lightning was attracted to the tree or tho
conductor. and it divided up in its passage
to the earth, no damage would be done to
nearby buildings.
One thing may be safely said, that If q
discharge of lightning from a cloud is point
ed directly towards house, there ia no
human means of divsrting 1t from its course
or preventing it's passage in the direction
which 1t has taken, and all the feather beds
and lightning conductors that might be pro-
vided would scarcely protect person who
stood in the way of the current. II Is a we'll
known fact among observers that the pres
ence of lightning rods upon houses has often
failed of providing the expected protection,
and there are millions Of houses unprotected
by lightning rods that have never been struck
by lightning.
If one stops to consider the enormous our
rent to be dealt with, and the tremendous
electro motive force of such current, 1t 10
plain to be seen that no human method can
be devised for safely taking such current
out of harms way; and the man who sits In
his house during thunder storm, protected
by iron lightning rods the size of his little
finger and insulated with pieces OF glass,
which are no more protection than pieces Of
tissue paper, has not the safe protection
which the lightning rod man promised, and
his money were better invested in some other
purposes about his buildings
In the progress of an electric storm there
is no special attraction in an ordinary dwell.
ing house why the discharge should select
that medium for reaching the ground.
Trees, rocks, moist earth, soil with minerals,
are equal If not better conductors than ordi-
nary houses and barns. If the electricity in
a storm cloud has reached sufficient tension
to overcome the resistance offered to Its pas.
sage to the earth, it will discharge at that
point and at that time, and no human effort
or continuance can change its course.

What q Cedula Really IL.
IFrOm the New York Tribune


The cable and the telegraph frequently
bring from abroad terms of finance that are
unintelligibie to all but the most expert In
Wall street. The financial crisis in the Ar.
gentine republic carried into the press the
word "cedula," and some curiosity as to its
meaning has been excited among the uniniti-
ated. George Rutledge Gibson, the broker.
the other day gave this explanation of the
term: I'm 1886 the Argentine congress
passed law creating National Hypotheca-
ton bank, whose functions are not to loan
money on mortgage, but to issue negotiable
cedulas or bonds based upon mortgage Civ
en- by the borrower to the bank. These &C.
who may dispose of them in the loan market
as best be can. The government guarantees
the interest, believe, and provides for a
sinking fund gradually to retire the debt.
''The face of the cedula is from twenty
Ave to one Thousand dollars They are paya-
BILE to bearer andsall the property of the
| mortgageor is liable. The property mort
gagged must be considered worth fully twice
as much as the loan, and upon default the
bank advertises the property for sale without
right of redemption. The state votes cred
| it to the bank to manage this business, the
object being to mobilize the land, which is
one of the chief forms of wealth in that
country. This plan does not necessarily su-
persede the old method of individual bor-
rowings on mortgage, but since it has the
| countenance of the state and is uniform
| system it has been q success SO far. Very
likely the cedula idea has suggested to the
American farmers their proposition to have
| the government itself loan them money at q
low rate of interest"

The Facts of the Case Kept Secret Since

July 6.
The local authorities have been successful
in concealing the facts of the release of the
shop-lifter, Jennie Setter, from the county
Jail since the first week in this month. On
July 8, Turnkey Michael Farrell was dis
charged because of his relations to the wom-
an. She was released day or two afterward
because of her condition due to these rela-
lions. Her sentence was but little over half
served, but it was deemed best to get her
from the institution and save expense and
trouble as soon as possible. She was released
upon the clause allowing such action in cases
Of malignant or incurable diseases. The

being the center of attraction.
After the warrant was read by Presenting i
Attorney Charles A. Harrison Mr.. II. W. Davis, !
who found the body of the boy, was called to
the witness stand, where he told of finding
the body in Community lake. He was not
ross-examined.
Miss Marion L. Davis, the daughter of
Harry W. Davis, was next called to the stand.
She testified that she saw the Layman and
johnson boys in the yard of her house near
the lake on the morning OF July Q. the DAY
the murder was committed. They both spoke
to her and then went in the direction OF the
lake. Afterward she saw them playing about
the old boat from which johnson fell into
the water. Cross examination did not shake
her testimony.
John NJ. Layman, an elder brother of the
accused, testified that several boys were at
the lake fishing on the day in question and
his brother Pateey was in the party. Several
of tie boys went out sailing with an old
boat in which they returned to the wharf
where they fastened the boat at aboat two
o'clock.
Dr. Mcaaughey, the medical examiner at
Wallingford, testified that the boys death
was by strangulation, but that from the
wounds on the head, probably made when he
fell, he must have been unconscious when he
struck the water and could not struggle to
save himself.
John Layman, who was recalled, testified
that Patsey said nothing to him about the
accident.
Several other boys were questioned but no
important evidence was obtained from them.
| If the boys knew about the accident they
| were too cunning to give evidence that would
| tend to convict young Layman.
| Patrick McNulty, aged eight years, gave
testimony similar to the others.
Emory Il. Strong, United states Mar
| shal.
From our Washington dispatches we learn
that the republican congressional delegation
from Connecticut have sent to the president
the name of Mr.. Emory F. Strong of this
city for the Office of United States marshal
for this state. The nomination will probably
be sent to the senate and confirmed by that
body early next week. The present incum'
bent completes his term of Office August 2.
Mr., Strong is we'll known to our citizens
and his appointment will meet their enthusi
astic approval In politics Mr. Strong is q
republican and yet has always received from
the democratic party very complimentary
support whenever he has been a candidate
for Office. He has served three years
as a member of the city council and
the board of selectmen. During his first three
years in connection with this board he was
first selectman and town agent, and in thai
capacity inaugurated many reforms and
changes, from which our city is now deriving
benefit.
In February, 1868, Mr.. Strong was com
missioned lieutenant colonel of the Eight
regiment, state militia, by the late Governor
Buckingham, and was afterwards promoted
to the Office of colonel. but declined It.. HI
has served ten years on our board of educa
ton.
