CALLED TO ACCOUNT.
Legal Warfare Between Denver Water
Magnates.

DENVER, Feb. lin the United
States court today Dennis Sullivan, re-
ceiver OF the American Water Works
company, began suit calling President
Genner to account for $205, 900 bonds OF
the Denver Water company, which he
(Genner) is alleged to have confiscated
to his own use. The suit is in retalia-
ton OF one brought against Sullivan by
Genner, charging Sullivan with appro-
priating $67 900 to his own use.
which Sullivan denies. The Dem
yer Water company put ON the
market $5S4,000 bonds, and the bill of
Sullivan charges that $3.50, 900 of this
issue went into Genner's hands and
have never been discovered since. Sui
livan will ask why the company's treas
urer has never received this amount,
and pray the court to call Genner to ac-
count. As to the suit against him, Sui
livan, in answer, will say the money he
is alleged to have used for his own ben
eft was used in construction under the
old Denver Water company's manage
nnent, prior to its transfer to the Ameri-
can Water company.

BARCELONA, Feb. 1.-THE trouble in
Barcelona between Anarchists and the
authorities shows no signs of abatment.
The execution of four Anarchists at
Xeres yesterday, is believed to have
precipitated the disturbances. Last
night proclamations were posted about
the city menacing the government
with vengeance for the execu-
tion of the Here's Anarchists, and
announcing that there would be further
explosions of bombs. The distribution
of these proclamations has alarmed the
more timid inhabitants, but the author
tiles laugh at the matter, and say the
proclamations are nothing but the va
porings of towards. They nevertheless
have permitted no relaxation of police
vigilance, and arrests are frequent oi
persons suspected of preaching anarch-

SAN Francisco, Feb. 11.-Marion
Hedspeth, the Glendale train robber,
captured here yesterday, started east
tonight in charge of Detectives Byram
and Whitaker.
In conversation today he ascribed the
detection of his whereabouts to letters
which passed between himself and a
st. Louis attorney, who had, he says
done business for him before. When
his wife was taken east Hedspeth wrote
to the attorney to take up her case, and
a number of letters were sent him in
this city addressed II. Swanson. One
IF these incautiously bore an inscription
to the effect that if the letter was not
delivered in ten days, it should be re-
turned to the attorneys address. The
attorney was known to have done busi-
ness for Hedspeth, and the latter's
identity as Swanson was soon suspected.
Hedspeth said he would have left the
city in few days had he not been
arrested yesterday.
Hedspeth denies that he had a pistol
in each pocket. He said when arrested
he was receiving number of letters
with his left hand, while with his right
he grasped revolver in his coat pocket.
He professed to be pleased, however,
that his arrest was secured without
bloodshed. A number OF detectives
visited him, in an endeavor to con-
meet him with several crimes, among
them an Oakland detective who in
quired about the robbery of the Log
cabin bakery, but Hedspeth smilingly
replied that the papers had connected
his name with number of affairs Of
which he had no knowledge. He de-
clined to give any information regarding
"Dink" Wilson, but said he (Hedspeth)
had kept restaurant while in Los An

THE NEXT GREAT PROBLEMS OF SCIENCE.

To Make the Utilization of the Forces of
Nature More General and Efficient.
The greatest of all problems today is
the making of the utilization of the forces
Of nature more general, more efficient
and more fruitful. Could the engineer
find a way of producing steam power
at a fraction it's present cost; could
he transform heat enerzy direct
ly Il without waste into dyna-
mic; could he find a method
of evolution of light without that enor-
nous loss now inevitable in the form of
accompanying heat; could he directly
produce electricity without other and
lost energy, from che combustion of fuel
could he do these things today. the
growth Of all that is desirable to mau-
kind and the advancement of all the
interests and powers of the race would be
inconceivsbly accelerated.
Every animate creature is a machine
Of enormously higher efficiency as a
dynamic engine than his most
elaborate construction as Illus
trated in the 10000 horse power
engines OF the "Teutonic'' or the
City Of Paris" or In the most powerful
locomotive. Every gymnotus living In
the mud OF a tropical stream puts to
shame mans best effort in the production
OF electricity; and the minute insect that
flashes across his lawn on a summer even
ing, or the worm that lights his path In the
garden. exhibits a system of illumination
incomparably superior to his most per-
feet electric lights. Here is natures
challenge to man. Man wastes one.
fourth of all the heat of his
fuel as utilized in his steam boiler,
and often ninety per cent. as used in his
open fire places; nature, in the animal
system, utilizes substantially all. He
produces light by candle, oil lamp, or
electricity, but submits to a loss of from
one fifth to more than nine-tenths of all
his stock OF available energy as heat; she,
in the glow worm and fire fly, produces Il
lovelier light without waste measurable
by u most delicate instruments. He
throws aside as loss nine-teBths OF his
potential emery when attempting to de-
velop mechanical power; she Is vastly
more economical. But in all cases her
methods are radically different from his,
though they are as yet obscure. Nature
converts available forms of energy into
precisely those other forms which are
needed for her purposes, In exactly the
right quantity, and never wastes, as does
invariably the engineer. a large part of
the initial stock by the production of
energies that she does not want and can.
not utilize. She goes directly to her goal.
Why should not man? He has but to
Initiate her processes.-PfofesSor a. H.

Amusing Revelations Result From the
Collectors Annual Sale.
Special to the Jersey City Neps.
ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. 8. 1S92.-Tax Col
lector Michael Devine yesterday afternoon
disposed Of the properties Of about $50
delinquent taxpayers of 1891. The sale
was held in city court and few people
were present outside of city officials.
Among the we'll known names cried by
the auctioneer was Gideon W. Marsh,
the missing Keystone Bank president of
philadelphia, Pa, who owed the tax col
lector Sl.S6. A letter from his wife
stopped the sale under promise that she
would settle upon receiving the bill.
Hamilton Dlstou, the wealthy saw
manufacturer, has been advertised in the
local papers for six weeks as not having
paid a tax of 49, 70 upon his handsome
villa on Ohio avenue. By request he was
given ten days sin which TO square his
account with the city under the plea that
he had evidently mislaid or forgot about
the tax notice.
Then separate properties belonging to
the Pennsylvania Railroad taxed at SIZE. 60
were offered, but Withdrawn OIL motion Of
the City Solicitor at the request of a rep
resentative of that corporation. These
taxes are exclusive OF the $4,000 valua-
ton placed upon the e.ectric street rail-
way by Assessor Riddle, who took the
ground that the State Board of Assessors
had no right to include it in their table Of
rateables as it was not a part of the main
line and 1t existed without O charter.
The names of Sheriff Charles r. Lacy,
OF Atlanta County, and George F. Lee, of
Philadelphia, who is reputed to be the
owner Of several millions and who is well
known from his connection with the intro
auction or gas companies into Chicago,
also appeared on the delinquent list. For
two days previous to the sale the tax Office
has been besieged by people settling their
accounts. The great majority of properties
sold were bought in by the city for a term
of thirty years.
