A Georgetown Citizen and His Sons Kill
Three Men and Capture the Town.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. as.-In an
ARRAY at Georgetown, KY. Thursday
morning A. J. Montgomery. bystand-
err, and John Jarvis, participant
were killed and Burrell Jarvis MORALLY
wounded. For some weeks bad feel
ing has existed between the Kendall
and the Jarvis families. Last
week the Kendall watermelon
patch was robbed and it was
reported that the kendalls thought
the Jarvis crowd robbed it. This an
gered the Jarvises. and when the Ken
dali house was stoned it was charged
that the Jarvis gang was getting even.
Peace warrants had been sworn out
and the trial was set for Thursday.
In the morning NJ. II. Kendall and four
sons-George. Popsy, Milt, Jr.,
and r. B.-came to town well
armed with rifles, shotguns and pis-
tolls The Jarvis brothers, three in
number-John, Burrell and Dade-
also came, but only one Of them
brought gun with him. On reaching
town John Jarvis went into the barber
shop of Ben Savage lcolored). at the
rear of the courthouse. and left
gun. Soon after-about o'clock
he returned and got it. just
as Jarvis reached the door
Milt Kendall, Jr., who had
passed the door, but was looking
back, turned and leveled his gun at
jarvis and fired, the ball passing
through Jarvis lungs, killing him. Al
most simultaneously Burrell Jarvis
went hurriedly into the hardware store
of A. j. Montgomery on Main street
and asked for gun. just then
Milt Kendall, the father. appeared at
the door with a musket in his hand.

tered Montgomefy's body. Kendall
| Immediately threw down his gun, drew
| a pistol and started for Jarvis, who
had passed through rear win
dow into a small yard. Reaching
him he fired, the ball passing through
Burrel Jarvis lungs, mortally wound
ing him. Montgomery lived but few
minutes. He was in no way connected
with the trouble. John Jarvis lived
about three hours. After some delay
the kendalls surrendered. were dis
armed and are now in Jail. Only the

case might be adopted in New York
with great advantage. It would save
a great deal of time and money, and the
result would be about the same as it is
at present.
The average verdict in New York
murder case not only surprises the gen.
eral public but it absolutely astounds
even the prisoner and his attorney, un-
less the jury has been tempered with,
which happens occasionally, SO there
is reason to suspect. A gentleman who
has had considerable experience with
the criminal courts told me how a law

ment This enables contact to take
place at any temperature within the re-
quired limits.
From. the combined use Of the ther-
mostat and electric bell, fire alarm
could be arranged.
An electric door opener has also been
invented. The action of the door in
closing congresses a powerful spiral
spring, which is held in check by lever
until the lever is freed by an electro
magnetic impulse. The spring forces
the door open, the latch being at the
same time withdrawn. Electric clocks
are in common use in public buildings
where timepiece is required in all or
several rooms. OF these there are two
distinct classes: one has a centralized
government, where one standard clock
drives all the others electromagnetic
ically, while in the other system each
clock is free and independent time
keeper. These clocks are electrically
wound, and when science can furnish
an inexhaustible electrical supply, the
action Of the electric clock will be the
nearest approach to perpetual motion
yet made. The advantages of incan-
descent electric light are well known
and need no mention.
This lamp emits SO little heat that it
is especially appreciated in warm
weather, and when broken is in no
danger of causing fire. BY having a
spare lampi in each room under control of
the burglar and fire alarm system any
disturbance in either would produce
not only the stroke of an alarm bell but
would instantly light the whole house.
The number Of practical possibilities
and actual applications Of electric power
in housework through the electric
motor is almost unlimited.
The motor is compact, silent, clean.
In domestic sizes Of one horse power, it
weighs less than 100 pounds and the
simple turning of a switch will start or
top it. BY it's use electrical power is
made available. Its principle is entire
ly magnetic. The pull; that wire, con-
veying. an electric current, is seen to
exert upon a compass needle is intensi-
fed by having large horseshoe cleo
tro-magnet for the compass needle, and
many turns of wire close up within it's
grasp. The revolving cylinder is an
electric treadmill by which the current
is cut off from each wire in turn as it
reaches the point OF most powerful at
traction, SO that the current is always
kept advancing toward the magnetic
pole, but never reaches it.
These motors are now on the market
in a variety of shapes and sizes. In size
they vary from one-tenth one horse
power upward. The weight of motor
of one-eighth one horse power is about
Is pounds. and measures 71sx5x3 inches,
Its pulleys deliver power when it Is IN
any position, resting on its side or bot.
tom side up. The magnet is subject to
no wear; the bearings OF the armature
show change and have to be renewed
BY the use of the motor the danger from
steam pipes and boilers is avoided. but
it has peculiar dangers of its own. In
wiring building for electrical appar-
atus, the wires should be hidden, yet
should always be easy of access In no
case should they be covered by the

ST. PAUL. Mimi. Aug. 2s.-Thc re-
ports which come from the North Da-
kota wheat fields are of discouraging
character. At cooperstown. Gri9gs
county. there was heavy frost Wednes-
day night. ice forming a quarter of an
inch thick Late grain Is ruined. and
wheat in shock and in process of cut
ting is damaged. The thermometer
reached the FRI 'zlng point by II
o'clock. and at 10 in the morning stood
at - degrees Farmers generally had
placed straw on the north side of the
fields. and most rybody sat up all
night and tended their smudges. but it
was of no use. for what little breeze
there was came from the south and
carried the smoke in the wrong direc-
ton. About % per cent of the grain
is in shock. The thermometers ran
down to - at several points in Ram
sey county, and ice was found
on the heads of wheats in many fields.
Snudge fires were not started until
late in the night. and il is feared they
did little good. About 80 per cent. of
the grain is cut in that region. VII
lagos along the northern border report
that the temperature was in places not
much above 20.

day nights freeze would. of course re-
duce the figures. and he feared one
sixth of the crop would be destroyed
On the night of the first frost one-
half OF the wheat acreage had been
untouched by the harvester. lie says
that all the wheat uncut at that time
has had what is called a brand" frost.
This wheat will be equally as good for
milling purposes as No. hard. but the
farmers will receive a grade lower. In
explaining the action of the frost ION
the uncut wheat he said the amount
| of damage would altogether depend
on the condition of the wheat berry
at the time of the frost. The wheat
standing which had turned to dough
but had not ripened would not be ma
terially injured by this severe frost. 1t
would only result in corrugating the
surface of the grain. which would de-
stroy its brightness and cause it to lose
grade. The wheat in the milk would
be an entire loss whenever there was
frost below 3a degrees. The straw
would turn toyellow and might deceive
even the most experienced farmer, but
the grain would never pass out of its
milk state.
Manitoba reports are black. Every
point in the province shows that the
temperature was from % to 81 The
wheat there is still in the milk and a
large percentage of it will be total
loss.

competent persons who have examined
it that it does accurately everything
for the voter except make up his mind

that laborious part of the operation to

be implicitly relied on. In the bright
lexicon of human experience there is
nothing SO uncertain as a sure thing,
but the verdict Of New York jury in
murder case is the most mysterious and
agined. You might as well try to guess
the price of butter from the weight of
the calf of the COW that produces the
milk as to predict the verdict of New
York jury from the evidence in the case.
The good people Of New York have
come to the conclusion that the admin
istration of criminal justice is more in a
nature of a comedy than anything else.
The bad people, by which term the
criminal classes are meant, have found
this out some time ago. A New York
jury seems to be body Of men organ
lied to find out which side has the
smartest lawyer.
The infliction Of death as penalty
for murder has been practically abol-
ished as far as concerns, what Mrs.
Partington called, ''the opposing SEX"
OF late years quito a number of females
in New York, who had grievances
against men, promptly rectified them
by shooting large apertures in the an
atomical structures Of the offending
representatives of the male sex with
fatal results. In the last two cases
sympathetic juries acquitted the fair
shootists with such promptness that it
would not have created surprise If the
jurymen had Clipped in and presented
the acquitted woman with a silver
mounted pistol, properly inscribed. It
may come to that yet if we keep on as
we are going. After awhile it will not
be safe for man to hesitate in giving
his seat in an elevated car to the stand
ing female, and as for the male boarder
asking the landlady for a second piece
of pie the reckless man who contem-
plates trying it had better get his life
insured with as little delay as possible.
In former days the murderess was not
treated SO gingerly. She was treated
pretty much the same as ii she was a
man. She was loaded down with chains
instead Of flowers and either executed
or transported to some penal colony to
end her miserable existence. Now, she
is triumphantly acquitted and receives

has to deliver them acquires perman-
ent curvature of the spine.
There are numerous other recent in
stances Of New York juries finding YER
diets totally at variance with the rea-
sonable conclusions to be drawn from
the evidence. Unless there is change
for the better-and there is nothing Of
the sort in sight at this time of writing
the arm of the law will have to be put
up in sling and kept there. The fact

The report Of the statistics of Massa-
chusett's manufacturers for 1890 just
issued shows steady improvement in
the condition of the working people of
that state. In 1885 1871 per cent. OF
the men. women and children employed
in manufacturing industries received
wages under five dollars. In 1890 the
percentage of employees receiving such
wages had sunk to l5.2a per cent of the
much larger number of workers. That
means that there has been a positive
advance in wages. There are more
people employed than five years ago,
and all this in spite of the tremendous
immigration of European labor.

Especial Correspondence
The constant and increasing demand
for power to supply the needs OF our
complicated civilization. together with
the failure of physical strength under
such conditions. has forced electricity
into service as substitute for muscu-
lar strength in nearly every line OF
manufacture. This has solved a diff
ficult problem, and has opened the way
for one as important and needful, viz,
the use of this power in the household.
Some of the appliances brought into
use within the last year are SO sug-
gcstive of the future utility of this agent
that to hopeful minds the possibility OF
solving. by this method, the servant
girl question seems feasible. The first
application of electricity for domestic
use was the bell. which was first used
early in the century. The pressure OF

By an accumulation Of wire as q

power is increased locally to attract the

A similar electromagnetic in the

Simple designs for controlling the
temperature in houses heated by steam,

practical value in the saving OF fuel,
and in the added comfort Of evenly
heated rooms. In each room an auto
matte thermometer is placed, which
makes contact as soon as a required
point of temperature is reached.
It is so arranged that the contact
electro-magnetically cut off the supply
Of heat from the chamber. As the
room cools when the temperature falls
below the required limit, the thermom-
eter breaks the circuit and the heat is
readmitted.
