THE OVERHEAD WIRE.
Mr. Kelly, of Springfield, Has Q
Patent on 1t.

SPRINGFIELD, O., Jan. $50. s.
Kelly, the millionaire reaper and mower
manufacturer of this city. who has
obtained control of the patents covering
all electric street railways IN which
the current is supplied by an over
head wire, will at once proceed to
collect royalties from the electric street
railway companies using that system,
or institute infringement suits. Nine
years ago Charles Green. of Kalamazoo,
Mich. invented an electric street rail-
way. He tried to get patent on It, but
failed through technicalities, and pat
ents covering the ground of his inven-
tien were granted TO others and began
to come into almost general use. Green
saw he would be powerlesS to cope
with the great monopolists who were
using his invention and sold his claims to
Mr.. Kelly, who has pushed the claims
through to a successful termIpation IN
legal battle lasting nine years. BY a.
recent decision of tie supreme court OF
the District of Columbia Green's claims
are sustained, which gives Kelly control
of the patent on the electric street rail-
way system IN most general use all over
the county. Kelly Is preparing for d
tremendous legal battle, which will
rank with the Bell telephone suit or thh
Howe sewing machine case. There are
now 5000 electric cars in vsrious parts
of the country operated under the sys
tenn covered by these patents.

GAVE THE "MESSIAH" :"
Grand Rapids Cots Excited Over a
Sunday Performance.


GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Jan. 31.-For
several months there has been a grow
ing excitement in religious, musical and
social circles here over the proposition
made by the local oratorio society to
perform the messiah" without charge
for admission two or three Sun
day nights during the winter.
The society is composed of
ladies and gentlemen moving in
the highest financial and social circles,
and, though universally admitted to be
one of the best musical organizations in
the country, makes no effort to accumu-
late money, as the result of its concert
work. The proposition to present the
"Messiah" Sunday night, came just at
the time when there was great excite
ment over the effort 10 prevent Sunday
performances at the theaters, efforts
which have re- ulted in many arrests
and several trials. The movement was
taken up by the local minis
ters' conference, in which
resolution was attempted to be
passed opposing the project. The SUBJ
ject ran over for week, and the reso-
luton finally passed, though deprived
of most of its power by amendments.
Meantime Rt. Rev. DR.. Gillespie, bishop
of the Episcopal diocese, published an
emphatic protest against the entertain
ment. Tonight the first performance
was given. Nearly two hours before
the time came for opening the doors
crowd extending two blocks filled
the street in front of the hall. The
doors were not opened till after the
close of the regular services in the
churches, and by that time it was i'm
possible to go within 800 feet of the hall
entrance. The ''Messiah'' was given
with Introductory prayers and other re-
ligiOus exercises by a magnificent
chorus. the best sOloists in this part of
the country and grand orchestra, be-
fore an audience of between FIVE and
six thousand. while thousands stood
outside the hall.

CROWDED THE JAIL.
Misses Mitchell and Thompson the
Cynosure ofAlI Eyes.

Misses Mitchell and Thompson the
Cynosure of All Eyes.
MEMPHIS, Jan. S1.-This was Miss
Mitchell's and Miss Johnson's first Sun
day in Jail, and for them it was event.
ful, inasmuch as crowds of people from
10 o'clock until crushed through the
corridors eager to see the young ladies.
At an early hour Presbyterian preach
er went to Miss Mitchell's room and
asked to pray for her, but the young
lady does not put much faith in the
efficacy of prayer. Miss johnson being
Catholic, the preachers offer to pray in
her behalf was respectfully declined.
The crime was made to them the theme
OF sermon by one of the local minis
ters. Other divines referred to
+ during their morning sermons.
In the afternoon an evangelist went to
the Jail and preached to the prisoners
almostin ear-shot Of the young ladies,
referring to Miss Mitchell as an awful
example as to what ideas of right and
wrong would drive people to do. The
state and the lawyers for Miss Mitchell
hold opposite opinions as to the cause
for the commission of the crime. The
attorney general will attempt to show
that Alice Mitchell either killed Freda
Ward to avenge herself on Miss Wards
sister, Mrs. Valmer, or that there had
been misunderstanding between the
SLAYER and her victim. and that Miss
Mitchell, moved by hate, killed her.
One OF the theories of the state is that
there is man in the case.
The attorney general will prove her
love for flirting by the recitation Of sew
eral of her escapades, the principal of
which is her meeting several young
men in an out-of-the-way pant of the
city. The state has several detectives
atWork and they have already unearthed
some damaging facts. One of these
is that when Miss Mitchell slew Freda
Ward man was seen following Misses
Mitchell and johnson in buggy. When
Alice Mitchell leaped into the buggy
after the commission of the crime this
MIN drove rapidly away. On the fol-
lowing morning he left the city and has
been tracked to New Orleans. 1t is
thought that it was he to whom Miss
Mitchell on Sunday night communicated
her intention of killing Miss Ward.
The attorneys for Miss Mitchell will
at once put in plea of insanity. If
Miss Mitchell! be sent to the asylum,
then Miss johnson will have to fight for
her life alone. This afternoon Miss
johnson said Miss Mitchell kept her in
ignorance as to her intentions, and
when she left the buggy to cut the
Ward girls throat, she Informed her
that she intended once more to kiss
Freda good-by. There is a young law
yer here who says that some time ago
he received letter from young lady,
including fee, and asking him if. un-
der the common law. one woman might
marry another. He was directed to
mail his reply to certain postoffice ad-
dress. He did as requested. and, after
the tragedy. discovered that his client

DENVER, Jan. 31.-The death of Fred
Alban, ranchman of DEVILS Head,
mountainous district in Colorado, is
shrouded in mystery. 1t was probably
tragedy, and Daniel S. Reker and j.
S. Myers have been arrested, charged
with the shooting of Alban and then
cremating him. Devils Head is lonely
settlement. The inhabitants gain a
herding cattle. For more than a
year past cattle have disappeared
mysterlously from tine ranges. They
were always missed in the morning,
and for some reason it was believed
that Alban knew something about the
disappearance of the cattle. At o'clock
in the morning before Thanksgiving

Myers, who had been prominent among
the accusers of Alban, was burned.
said to have threatened his life. A
couple of days after THANKSGIVING a
recluse, living near Alban, died after
eating supper. Poison was afterwards
found to have been placed in his -four.
This crime, too, was laid at Adams
door. Alban made no replies to these
accusations. He shut himse,f IN
in his cabin. ana the fact that he was
not seen for long time excited no sus-
picion. But traveller one morning dis
covered that his house and barn had
been burned. Then the sheriff began
an investigation. The charred remains
of Alban were found in the ruins. The
skeletons of ten horses burned alive
I
half mile away, was also burned. The
Sheriff traced foot prints in the snow
leading to the abode of the men under
arrest. 1t is believed that Alban was
shot before the building was fired. On
account of the inaccesslbility of DEVILS
Head because of the snow the facts
above given have just become known.

KILLED FOR APPLIANCE,
A Magdeburg Girl Murdered for
Small Sum.

Small Sum.
BERLIN, Jan. 31.-A ease resembling
that of the Schneiders, the horrible de-
tails of whose crimes have just shocked
the world as revealed in the court at
Vienna, has come to light in Madgeburg.
AS in the Schneider case, the victims in
the present instance were serving
women. The full particulars in posses
sion of the police have not been made
public, but it is known that man
named Erbe and his paramour, woman
named Buntrock. have been az
rested on charge of making
named Klags. daughter of the
steward of an estate near Madgeburg.
1t is alleged that Erbe and his female
accomplice lured the girl to Hanover on
pretense that she was desired to accom-
pany family of that city on trip to
Italy. AT Hanover, where the girl was
total stranger. it was comparatively
easy to tilch her small stock of funds
and put her out of the way without
leaving a clue to direct suspicion to-
wards the murdererS. At least this is
what the police expect to prove was
done. and they also claim to have evil
dence that the first victim of the couple
was woman named Hasten, of Madge-
burg, and these two were not the only
ones robbed and murdered by the imi-
tators of the Vienna monsters. The
revelations at the forthcoming examina-
tiOn of the prisoners are expected with
much interest.

VIENNA. Jan. 31.-A terrible gale be-

and prevailed all day Saturday. The
wind was SO violent that it was abso-
lutely dangerous for foot passengers
to venture into the streets, where the
peril was great, owing to falling roof
tiles and the hurling to the pavements
OF other objects dislodged from the
buildings. The fury of the wind was
so great that number of vehicles were
-capsized, including a large wagon
loaded with farm produce. By this over
turn thousands of eggs were smashed
and lot OF butter was ruined. A num-
Der or trees were blown down, some of
them blocking avenues in the prater.

BISMARCK, N. D., Jan. 81. = The
GLOBE hit the nail squarely on the
North Dakota ''politics will be rather
more uncertain than usual this year."
This, if the readers must have diagram
with his editorials, means that the
Democrats stand better chance than
ever Of electing some of their men On
the state ticket, if not the head of the
ticket himself. The Republicans have
dallied with Dame Prohibition to
such an extent that they will
have to make a tremendous strug-
gle in the coming campaign to
maintain themselves. They are saying
that, as this is presidential year, the
members of the party will be held in
line, and there is no danger. But the
prohibition blunders. the dIsaffection of
factions in the Republican party, the
struggle on the part of so many aspir-
ing members Of the e. o. p. for place
and power. mean that there is a chance
for the Democrats if they only seize if.
1t is noteworthy fact that the ''old
gang" headed by Alec Mckenzie, never
allow man to have the same sort of
cherry twice if they can help it. Under
territorial days Raymond was sent to
congress once and retired. Clifford fol-
lowed, and
He Was Shelved
for Matthew's; Hansbrough could not
be allowed to succeed himself in con-
gress, and Pierce also was beaten when
he came up for reelection by the very
men who put him there the first time.
IG believed very thoroughly that
Casey, too, will be slaughtered. He was
never the first choice of the old gang,
anyhow. He got there through strange
combination of circumstances, which it
is Improbable to dwell upon. But it is
difficult to see why the politicians
who are monopolists should not be
willing to allow him to succeed
himself. 1t is probable they would if
he had not allowed himself to be run by
Hansbrough in the matter of appoint
ments. The Democrats have an excel
lent fighting chance to elect Casey's sue
cessor. A good sign Of Democratic sue
cess is that there are not large number
of Democratic aspirants for the different
positions. 1t looks as though the ext
gencies of the occasion Will be depended
upon to select men who will stand the
best chance of being elected to repre-
sent the Democratic cause.

He QUEERs HELGEsoN.
A Grain Man Jumps on the State
Commissioners

FARGO, n. D., Jan. 31.-Charles E.
Morton, of the firm of Morton & Co., ,one
of the heaviest real estate dealers and
wheat buyers in the Northwest, replies
to Commissioner Helgeson's report on
the wheat crop in North Dakota,
now being published broadcast through
out the country, as follows:
commissioner Helgeson makes the
whole crop of 1891 for North Dakota Ga
100000 bushels. To arrive at this con-
clusion this distinguished statistician
averages the crop at twenty-three BUSH
els per acre, Of course, such a paper
is an absurdity upon its face. for no one
in North Dakota believes for moment
that the average per acre was twenty
three bushels or twenty bushels,
or to exceed eighteen bushels per
acre. Then why should this man pro-
mulgate this statistical bosh? He either
had some ulteriOr object i'll view, or he
is innocently being made the iEstru-
ment OF some speculative gang that is
at this moment working to de9ress the
value of our product. The government
report, which, by the way, is believed
to be entirely too high, gives Dakota a
crop of 2.105,000 bushels grown on
2.927,274 acres, an average of less than
fifteen bushels per acre.

which adjoins the saloon. closely
followed by the trio. The fight
was kept up in the house. Van Ian

the first shot Charles View, who was
leading the attack, fell dead with bull
let through his heart. His companions
turned to flee, but before they could

three times through the body, and one
ball lodged in Adam Views arm. Bru-

which the prince, who, since June,
1855, has been field-marshal general of
the German army. and who is also in
spector general of the Fifth, Sixth and
Twelfth corps of the army, in which
the prince vehementiy denounces all
Superiors who maltreat the soldiers

instances of such maltreatment, and
declares such conduct to be unworthy
of the true German officer, and that the
terrorism thus created destroys the
