ELECTRICITY In. Warfare.

The public is already familiar with
some forms of Lieut.. Bradley Fiske's
range finders, but new form of this
valuable instrument has been brought
out which gives the readings direct on
graduated dial. The principle in
volved is that of the Wheatstone
bridge, and not the least notable point
in connection with the adaptation is
that the errors due to the variation of
the conditions from actual theory are
compensated for by the very construc-
ton of the apparatus.
The results of the application of the
new range finder TO the working of the
dynamite gun are most remarkable, and
the accuracy of firing secured by its aid
is marvellous. The full equipment of
generators which the introduction of
the electric light on board ships has ne
cessitated has paved the way for the
employment of a large number of cleo
trical devices.
This is especially noticeable on war
vessels, where electric motors are used
for ventilation. for the training of guns,
for the hosting of shot, and for many
other purposes, and recently a tele-
phone service has been established on
board the United States ship Baltimore,
so as to enable the commander to COM
municate from the coming tower with
the various parts of the ship New

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.-The strike of con-
ductors and train dispatchers on the Chi
cago and Erie railway is over, and trains
are moving again. A settlement was eff.
fected Saturday, the men agreeing that
Train Dispatcher Scott should not be re-
employed. They also made it a condition
of going back to work that minor official
at Huntington should be discharged, but
he saved the company the trouble by send

about one minute before the fatal explo-
sion, is the only individual remaining to

is in the fatal shaft, was here last even

only to find n suffocating volume of
smoke and gas gushing therefrom, and
at once knew what was wrong. We be-
gan the work of subduing the flames and
clearing the shaft of gas. This we accom-

A Chicago Physician Claims to Have
Discovered the Germs of
the Lagrippe.

CHICAGO, March 27.-Dr. VIM. A. Cen
try of this city claims to be the possessor
of a microbe of la grippe, the first ever
captured, or even heard of. Ever since
the grip made its appearance a year ago,
the doctor SAID to-day, he has been on a
still hunt for microbes, if any existed.
He found that, "a years ago, and again
sixteen years ago, la grippe was among
human beings, and seventeen years ago
it attacked horses, causing the still re-
membered ~"epizootic." Owing to the re-
currence of the disease, DR.. Gentry was
inclined to believe that the earth at such
intervals passed through o stretch of
space i%mpregnated with what astrono-
mers call "stardust." Four days ago it
occurred to him that he might trap some
Of the dust, or microbes, or whatever it
was. Carefully polishing a blank slide,
he took it out doors and passed it
through the air. Placing the
slide under his microscope, which
magnities 1120 times, he has counted
seven heretofore unidentified microbes
in the field of his instrument. The
creatures were very lively and seemed to
flow or swim upward toward the glass.
Before the doctor could secure the mi
crobes they had disappeared. The next
day with the Rev. DIR. Biggs Of the
Rogers Park Methodist church, DR..
Gentry tried again and found more
Again they escaped but by using the
micro-glasses, he secured the next lot
and had them mounted for the micro
scope. His next step was to procure
some mucust from a patient afflicted
with la grippe. His neighbor w. j
Jefferson furnished it and to the delight
of DIR. Gentry the same sort of microbes
were found there as caught in the air
Identical in every respect.

An Interesting Legal Case.

FARGO, n. d., March 28.-From cer-
tain facts which have come to light with
in a day or SO, it seems possible that the
trial Of Joseph Remington for the MUIR
der of j.. T. Fleet, at Arthur, may become
one of the most famous in the United
States. AS the case at present stands, it
seems almost a foregone conclusion that
it will be impossible to convince any
jury of his innocence IN the ground Of
insanity or any common plea, hence it is
almost a settled fact that the defense
will be on the same line as that in the
trial of Gabrielle Bompald at Paris, last
year, wherein it was claimed and
so clearly proven a case Of
hypnotism, that her accomplice was
sentenced to hang, while she received a
term of Imprisonment. The theory in
the Remington case, it is understood,
will be that while hypnotized by a Min
neapolis woman whose name has been so
frequently mentioned since the arrest,
he murdered agent Fleet. Competent
authorities who have visited Remington
in jail with this theory in view are said
to be of the opinion that he is SO consti-
tuted as to be easily liable to mesmeric
influence. Should this line of defense
be adopted it will probably be quite IN
teresting to the lawyers, as it will be the
first one of the kind in the United
States.

Railroad Rate Cutting,

CHICAGO. March 2G. When the lines
operating Between Chicago and st. Paul
entered into their recent agreement to
restore passenger rates and to divide
the passenger business between those
points it was known that the Chicago,
st. Paul and Kansas City had sold about
1000 unlimited tickets at reduced rates
which were at that time on the market.
1t was also known that about 1000
tickets of the issue of that road were in
the hands of a st. Paul broker good for
passage between st. Paul and st. Joseph.
Since that time the Chicago, st. Panl
and Kansas City road has extended its
line to Kansas City and it is claimed
that the management by it's endorsement
has made these tickets good to the
latter point us we'll as to st. Joseph.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis road has
notified Chairman Finley of the Western
Passenger association that the Chicago,
st. Paul & Kansas City has violated its
agreement by making the rate from st.
Paul to Kansas City $1.2O lower than the
tariff rate, and asks for authority to
make an open rate of S13 between those
points to meet such competition. Chair.
man Finley sent out the announcement
to-day that a hearing of the case will be
had at his office tomorrow to decide
whether the application of the MiuDeap.
oils Il st. Louis shall be granted or not.

Home Seekers Excursions,

CHICAGO, March 27.-The question of
whether the so-called home seekers ex-
cursions to western points shall be re-
vived this year is just now agiting the
managers and general passenger agents
of western roads. There is a difference
of opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of con
tinuing these excursions. While the
past has had the effect of demoralizipg
rates throughout a wide locality, a ma
jority are strongly opposed to them on
the ground that they are detrimental to
the regular business of the lines
adopting them, but a proposition has
been made to i%naugurate a series Of five
home seekers excursions for the season
of 1891, beginning about May 18th and
the matter is to be considered at the
April meeting of the western traffic and
trans. Missouri associations.

Poisoning II Family.

OMAHA, March 27.-What is suspected
to be an attempted poisoning of the fam
lily of J.. S. Hascall, a prominent politi-
clan, was brought to light to-day. Last
Tuesday, while Hascall was away from
home, five members of his household
were taken suddenly Ill after dinner, and
next morning Emma Anderson, his
housekeeper, died. The others are re-
covering. The family kept the matter
quiet until to-day, but the probabilities
now are tn at the housekeeper's body,
which was buried at st. Edwards, Neb.,
will be exhumed and an inquest be held.
Hascall is divorced from his wife and 1t
is alleged that the Anderson woman was
the cause of the separation. It is claimed
that threats had been made that she
would not die a natural death.

ST. PAUL. March 26.-To-morrow
being the last day for the introduction
of bills in the legislature, there was a
rush to-day, especially IN the house,
where 50 new bills were introduced.
The larger number of these were of
minor Importance, but a few are of con-
siderable interest. Lynn presented two
bills relating to foreign insurance
companies. The first provides that no
regular life insurance company shall be
permitted to do business in this state
until it has made or agreed to make
investments in Minnesota lands or secur-
tiles to the amount of not less than two
per cent of the insurance in force in the
state. knudson introduced a bill to
prohibit pool and billiard tables in
saloons, requiring the permanent closing
of all 81 } and back doors to saloons,
forbiddihg music in saloons or in any
room adjoining, and ordering an unob-
structea view Of every saloon interior.
The bill to prohibit pool rooms was in
troduced by Turrell. G. French wanted
to do away with the ninety day biennial
Legislative sessions, and have them an
nually for thirty-five days. Gildea pro-
posed TO determine all the legislative
election contests in the courts.

A Missing Man,

YANKToN, s. d., March @.-On the
evening of December Is, 1890, a young
man named John Hobson was spirited
away from one Of the principal street
corners in this city, and, although every
means was exhausted to discover his
whereabouts, he could not be found.
Last Sunday morning, Carl Guss, a H.
year-old lad, discovered the body of a
man on the ice in the Missouri river near
the Nebraska side, opposite this city.
The corpse was fully identified as tn I of
John Hobson. A watch and other valu-
ables were found on the body and there
is nothing to indicate that he was robbed.
That it was murder is acknowledged, but
who did it is a mystery.

The Coke

P1TTsBURG, March 2S.-The operators
who are struggling to resume their coke
plants in the Connellsville region do not
seem to have their own way so mnch as
the first repo.t is would indicate. The Of
ficers of the great Frick company state
that some 800 men are at work in the
region, exclusive of the non-union Rainey
plants, while President Rae says that no
more than 200 strikers have gone back.
AS there are between 10000 and $4,000
strikers, assertions are not so remarka-
bly, large up to this writing, considering
that many are suffering greatly for the
necessities of life. 1t is said that but
$4,000 of relief money has been distrib-
uted among the strikers. This is at the
rate of but a dollar and a half per man,
not to mention the rest of
the family, and is woefully
insufficient. AS the fight is now for an
eight-hour day in addition to the other
demands, their call for assistance made
o n the Knights of Labor and American
Federation of Labor will likely meet
with a favorable response from those
parent organizations. Two new plants
are reported in active operation tonight
Bradford & Trotter Of H. G. Prick &
company, making eleven in all. Some
excitement was caused to-day by the n
nouncement that Sheriff Clauson had
deputized the state militia to guard the
Norwood plant, but it was learned to-
night that he merely swore in thirty
members as deputies to himself.
