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

SPRINGFIELD, O., Jan. So. 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 1t, but
failed through technicaltieS, and pat
ents covering the ground of his inVen-
tiHn were granted to others and began
to come into almost general use. Green
saw he would be p0werlesS to cope
with the great monopOlists who were
using his invention and sold his claims 10
Mr.. Kelly, who has pushed the claims
through to successful termlpation in
legal battle lasting nine years. BY a.
recent decision of tile 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 III most general use all over
the county,. Kelly is preparing for a
tremendous legal battle, which will
rank with the Bell telephone suit OF the
Howe sewing machine case. There are
now 5000 electric cars in vcriouS parts
of the country operated under the sys~
tenn covered by these patents.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 31.-Some in

1t transpIres that the principal i'll the
deals which led to this sensational suit
was represented in fact in the United
States solely by Dr.William B. Meaney,
formerly of Louisville. DR.. Meaney
said today:
"The plaintiff in the action represent

CROWDED THE JAIL.
Misses Mitchell and Thompson the
CynOsure ofAll Eyes.


CynOsure ofAn Eyes.
MEMPHIS, Jan. S1.-This was Miss
Mitchell's and Miss Johnson's first Sun
day in Jail, and for them it was event.
full, 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 a
Catholic, the preachers offer to pray in
her behalf was respectfully declined.
The crime was made to them the theme
Of a sermon by one of the local minis
ters. Other divines referred to
s. during their morning sermons.
In the afternoon an evangelist went to
almost in 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 i'll 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 palt of the
city. The state has several detectives
atIWork 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 a 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
her intention OF killing Miss Ward.
The attorneys for Miss Mitchell will
at once put in a 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 young law
yer here who says that some time ago
he received letter from a 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

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

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 o.
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 in 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 50. 105,O00 bushels grown on
2,927,274 acres, all average of less than
fifteen bushels per acre.

The Terrible End OF q Colorado
Ranchman,
DENVER, Jan. 31.-The death of Fred
Alban. ranchman of DEVILS Head, a
mountainous district in Colorado, is
shrouded in mystery. 1t was probably
a 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 a lonely
settlement. The inhabitants gain a
livelihood by raising hay and
herding cattle. For more than a
year past cattle have disappeared
mysteriously 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 8 o'clock
the barn of Daniel Reker and j. s.
Myers, who had been prominent among
the accuSers of Alban, was burned.
They suspected Alban, and Reker is
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 himself IN
in his cabin. ana the fact that he was
not seen for long time excited no sus-
picion. But a traveller one morning dis
covered that his house and barn had
an investigation. The charred remains
of Alban were found in the ruins. The
skeletons of ten horses burned alive
were found in the barn. A hay stack,
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.

THOUGHT To BE DEAD,
Report That Ten Miners Have Per-
ished From Cold.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Jan. 81
The steamer from Alaska which arrived
Friday night reports that ten miners are
supposed to have perished of hunger or
cold. Last April Messrs. Orton and S.
o. Wheeler, of Junaeu, accompanied by
eight other miners, left Juneau on the
shore Charley for Lituya bay, taking
eight months provisions. The party
was to return in November. Nothing
having been heard from them great un-
easinesS is felt, for they were in the
frozen regions, where it would be i'm
possible to get food or help. The peo-
pie appealed to Capt. Maynard, of the
United States war ship Plnta, at Sitka,
to go to the relief of the missing men.
Maynard declined on account of the
great risk to the ship, and because he
thought the men were beyond reach of
human aid. At mass meeting held in
Juneau the governor was appealed to,
and relief expedition was organized
and sent out in sailing vessels with sup
plies in search of the lost miners. but
with little hope of rescuing them. The
winter at Lituya bay is long and severe,
and probably the ten missing men have
periShed.

1888 of embezzlement He had also been
on trial for fraudulent banking and for
arson. a woman named Helene Gold
stein was accused by the police of aiding
Loewey in his latest swindllng
schemes, and she was taken into
custody soon after the bankers
arrest. The latest development
in the case is the announcement Just
made that Loewey and the Goldstein
woman, who it has been alleged had
lived together for years out of wedlocE,
have been married IN prison. The ac-
cused eX-banker hopes by this marriage
to escape the clutches of the law, as he
claims The protection of the statute
which eXempts wife from the compuI-
sion of testifying against her hus6fnd
in criminal court. There is a division
of legal opinion as to the likelihood of
this scheme proving successful. The
point will be raised by the prosecution
that the exemption applies only to
wife who was such at the time of the
offcnse, and that subsequent marriage
cannot be allowed to have the retro
active effect which in this case is
sought to be secured for it.

wind was so violent that it was abso-

to venture into the streets, where the

so great that number of vehicles were

Grand Rapids Cots Excited Over q
Sunday Performance.


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 etscles,
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
ters' conference, in which
resolution was attempted to be
passed opposing the project. The sub
ject ran over for week, and the reso-
luton finally passed, though deprived
of most of its power by amendments.
Meantime Rt. Rev. DIR. 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
a 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 all audience of between FIVE and
six thousand. while thousands stood
outside the hall.

KILLED FOR APPLIANCE.
A Magdeburg Girl Murdered for
a 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 a man
named Erbe and his paramour, woman
named Buntr0ck, 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 OH a trip to
Italy. AT Hanover, where the girl was
a total stranger, it was comparatively
easy to filch her small stock of funds
and put her out of the way without
leaving 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 imf-
tators of the Vienna monsters. The
revelations at the forthcoming eXamina-
tiOn of the prisoners are expected with
