WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 1s,-The
chief OF the department OF electricity,
Worlds Columbian Exposition, recent
" applied for permission to make use
during the approaching dedicatorycere-
monies OF the electrical search lights
which have been placed in the proper
warehouse as proposed exhibits. The
plan is to place one of the lights within
the exposition grounds and to place the
other on the high building outside the
grounds. The collector OF customs of
Chicago opposed the granting OF the
privilege and Acting Secretary Spauld-
ing has approved his action. The col!
lector is instructed that, while the do.
partment is willing that either or both
lights may be taken from the govern
ment warehouse under customs super
vision foru within exposition grounds,
it must decline to authorize their use
outside Of such limits.

OF Racine DlOs-lns Worry R%Omarknble
History.
RACINE, Wis, Oct. ls.-Curtis Hicks,
Racine's ossified man, died at his home
last night. Hicks was born in Hicks
town, New York, fifty-three years ago.
Until April 90, 1889, he was a perfect
ly healthy man. That night he was
taken sick. Physicians said it was in
lammatory rheumatism, but it proved
to be n remarkable case OF Justification.
The feet, toes, ankles, legs, knee joints
and even the hips became perfectly os-
sifed. The hands and arms were in a
similar condition. In fact there was
not a single joint in his body that was
not as solid us bone. The body, or n
portion Of it, was in 4 healthy condition,
but the jaws and teeth were set and it
was impossible to got q cracker be-
tween them. His mind was clear UP to
his death. Still he was like a dead
man, and lad not been able to help
himself for twelve years, and was hand
led like a piece Of wood. His weight
when he was we'll was lao, and just be-
fore his death no weighed so pounds.
The physicians consider it n most re-
marEable case. a wife, Eve daughters
and one son survive him.

Ihs Latest Sensation ut HOmeStead-Tho
Mon still Firm.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Oct. ls.-It is an
nounced to-day that the Carnegie Steel
Company, limited. will at once transfer
General Manager John a. Potter from
tho Homestead steel works to another
plant, the reason being that many per.
sons who desire to return to work will
not do so as long as Mr.. Potter is in
charge, he being personally objectiona.
BILE to them. Tho report IL that ar
Potter will be given a more responsible
position, or ut least o more remunera-
live one, TO show that the firm appre-
GATES his services. At the mill Office n
marked reticence was observed, but the
report seemsto be absolutely authentic.
II il said that either Mr.. Julian Ken
Dedy or Manager Schwab, of the Brad
dock plant, will assume charge here.
Chairman II. q. Frick came to Home.
stead on an earlytrain and was closeted
with Mr.. II. NJ. Curry all morning. The
prospective transfer is causing much
discussion, but it is understood that the
firm to adhere strictly to its
present line OF policy, and that 1t feels
encouraged by the recent desertions Of
the men. Regarding the eleven men
reported as having gone TO work yester-
day, there are contrary statements.
Members Of the advisory board say that
O'Keefe and Colcloser were seen on
the streets last night and that Rath
only hired as a joke. On the other
hand Chief Newton says 0'Keefe and
Colcloser went to work this morning.
Calls were made at the residences OF
the three men but they were not at
home.
No further weakening is noticeable
about the town and it il probable that
n transfer OF Mr.. Potter will revive the
spirits Of the men and induce them to
remain out indefinitely under the i'm
preston that the firm itself is weaken
ing and will shortly sign the scale.
Three non.union men arrested by
borough officers last night waived hear
ings this morning and gave bail for
court. They said that every mill
worker though arrested for the
most trining ~otfenses are fined heavily
and they had ceased to expect fair
treatment except through the higher
courts.
Mr.. Potter has been manager Of the
steel works for three years. He was
brought up in n steel works practically,
having been first a mechanical engi.
neer. He built the armor plate and
open hearth mills in Homestead and
invented Il number Of Improvements
adopted in the armor plate department
which gives the Homestead plant pres
tige under his management, the output
Of the plant increased one-third, Mr..
Schwab, the new manager, was former
" in charge hero, but was transferred
to the Edgar Thomson plant on the
death OF Captain William Jones., He is
personally very popular here and the
feeling is growing that he will be the
cause OF an early settlement which will
be in part at least favorable to the men.
