IN A HURRY TO MARRY.

John McClarren's Death at pixmout Fully
1nvestigated-He was Struck With g
Potato Smasher After Breaking Into 6
House at SummerlliII.
The Coroner's jury in the case of John
McClarren, who died at Dixmont Insane
Asylum last Monday evening with trac-
tured skull, yesterday afternoon concluded
their inquiry into the case. Their verdict
e1onorated the Sheriff of Cambria county
and the management of the Dixmont Hos
pital, but found that the dead man had been
assaulted at Summerhill, Cambria county,
by Charles Bunting and James Topper and
that he died from exhaustion, due to having
his skull fractured.
Sheriff Shumaker, of Cambria county,
and his attorney, Mayor Rose, of john
stown, attended the inquest. The Sheriff is
handsome young man with a determined
air. He told the story of his connection
with the McClarren case in detailed way,
and he seemed anxious to have all the facts
in the case brought to light.
The Coroner's Office was crowded when
the inquiry was resumed. Thomas NJ. Mar
shall, William Reardon, Assistant District
Attorney Goehring, County Detective Beltz-
hoover, James B. Scott, of the State Board
were conspicuous among those on the front
seats Acting Coroner McKenna conducted
the inquest
Several witnesses were heard, detailing
the arrest of McClarren at Summer
hill, the taking of him to the
Cambria county Jail, and of his
being brought to Di1mont. James A. Top
per was the most important witness, and
upon his evidence the Coroner's jury based
their verdict. Topper testified that on Sat-
urday night, April 80, about midnight, Nc
Clarren went to the house of Charles
Bunting, who is Topper's father-in-law.
McClarren broke into the house and de-
manded that he be allowed to marry
Buntlng's daughter Bunting sent for
Topper, who responded to the call and
found McClarren with q potato smasher
and fire shovel, demanding that he be al
allowed to marry Miss Bunting within
five minutes. Topper argued the
case with the crazy man, who finally struck
him with the potato smaiher. Then Nc
Clarren attempted to go up stairs to the
young woman's bedroom, when Topper in
terferred to prevent him McClarren
grabbed Topper by the throat and
was choking him severely, when Charles
Bunting hit the crazy man three times on
the head with the potato smasher. The in
sane man was then secured, tied and the
next day he was sent to the Ebensburg Jail.
Two days later he was sent to Dixmont,
where he died just a week later
The verdict of the Coroner's jury leaves
the case for the authorities of Cambria
county. The Cambria county Sheriff thinks
the arrest of Bunting will not be ordered on
account of the crazy man first having broken
into the house before he was attacked.

POUNDED BY ATOMS.
Nikola Tesla Nearing the Goal Many
Are Striving to Reach.
TURNING OVER THE POSTOFFICE.
4 Pullman Conductor Whose Heart Aches
for Fussy Women.
SHORT TALKS WITH SOME LIvEPEoPLE

Much is being written these days about
Nikola Tesla, the electrician, who is attract
ing so much attention in Europe by his
electrical experiments. His ability to pro-
duce a light without the aid of wires has
startled the scientists of the world.
When Tesla was in Pittsburg last winter
he said some day it would be possible to
communicate with ship at sea, or a man in
a dense forest far removed from telegraph
offices and civilization. He would use the
earth, water and air as conductors, and by q
series of sounds arranged beforehand, the
message would be received by the person for
whom it is intended, no matter where he
might be. Mr.. Tesla is working along these
lines, and his success so far is very encour-
aging.
Trio OF Great Inventors.
A gentleman formerly connected with
the Westinghouse Company was talking
about Tesla yesterday. ''Do you know" i"
he said, IT paid visit to Stanley, the cleo
trician, four years ago, and he was working
along the same lines that Tesla is now. He
is a genius, if one was ever born, and it is a
singular thing that though rivals he used
to say that Tesla was the only original man
with the Westinghouse Company, and I
have often heard Tesla make similar re-
marks about Stanley. These wonderful
dinary mortals don't possess and can't un-
derstand Edison, Stanley and Tesla are
the great electrical inventors of the present
time These men are continually grap-
pliEg with the unknown, and occasionally
they push back little the circle of dark
ness that surrounds us. Now and then they
catch CLEAN of light, and add something
to our stock of knowledge.
81 have heard Edison say that if Sawyer
had lived, he, Edison, would never have
been heard Of He regards Sawyer as the
leader in electrical thought, but he had a
tempestuous soul and couldn't control him.
self. While in his cups he nearly killed o
man, and died in prison.
Wrecked by Invisible Atoms.
'tBut am getting away from what in
tended to talk about. Stanley, when 1 wis.,
tied him, was working on what he called a
bonbardment lamp. That is where light is
produced and transmitted bv the friction of
atoms. The average man can't understand
that, but physicists believe that the air and
all matter is made up of invisible and indi-
visible atoms Well, this was what Stanley
was working at. He couldn't find substance
to put in his lamp that would Withstand the
atomic bombardment In short time
everything he tried would be pounded into
the smallest fragments He had q
theory that gun cotton would solve the
problem, but up to date it remains mys-
terry. Stanley then outlined to me just
what Tesla is doing now. The latter has
been partially successful, and he may be
able in time to do the wonderful things
that he says he will"
Both Stanley and Tesla used to work for
the Westinghouse Company, and Pitts
burgers naturally take pride in their sue
cess. Great men in any line of thought al
ways spread the name and fame OF city.

for Miss Morris and her brother call that
pretty place home. This was Thursday
afternoon, SO that the 200 miles had been
covered in about four days, and without
the least distress to any of the party. Some
people had laughed at the idea Of voyage
down the Allegheny so early in the year
being pleasure trip, but, in spite OF the
fact that they saw frost in the early stages,
and found no fruit trees in blossom in that
upper country, the ironwood being the
first tree in bloom they encountered
as they came down, cherry, peach and
apple trees gradually developing as they
came south, and the dog-wood last OF all
near Pittsburg-in spite of the rain on
Tuesday, and other minor discomforts, the
whole crew enjoyed the outing immensely,
and if their ruddy looks and prodiglous
appetites since their return to civilization
are any sure signs, they are heaps the better
for it.
Plenty of Game, but No Guns.
During the voyage they saw English
snipe, plover, duck, teal, wild turkey,
mink, blue heron, gray and red squirrels,
musk rats and rabbits, but killed nothing,
for they carried no guns, and indeed had to
travel in the lightest order possible. 1t

that the hotels at Warren, franklin
and EmIenton were found to be good. A
large public still MAY shudder to hear that
from Oil City to Pittsburg the Allegheny
river was covered with oil, and water from
it could only be drunk when diluted rather
than strengthened with whisky, Despite
this superb incentive to be otherwise, the
TEN perance of the party was such that one
flask served the whole party, and that
reached home half empty only by express
on Friday, from Franklin, where it had
been left behind.
The only real embarrassment resulting from
this expedition occurred to Nh. Franks,
when he came to put the makesup on his
face to give the necessary cynical tone to
his complexion for the part of Sir George
Cdrlyon in "In Honor Bound" on Thursday
night The incompatibility of grease
paints and peeling nose was never brought

PITY FOR FUssY WOMEN,
Pullman Conductor Feels Sorry for Trav-
'e. elers Afraid OF Being Robbed.

my heart aches for the nervous, fussy
women who travel" said a Pullman con-
ductor yesterday. "They don't get any
rest, and they are sick and in misery all the
time. When they retire at night they are
afraid to take off their clothes, and they are
in constant fear of being robbed. Every
time the brakeman goes back to look at his
lights, or the porter passes their berth
they believe their time has come and they
are in constant fear The next day, not
having SLEPT during the night, they are i'll,
and they can't enjoy the ride.
"But how different it is with the old
traveller. She takes off her dress, turns the
skirt inside out, wraps her underclothing in
it, and is soon sound asleep. In the morn
ing she appears in pretty gown with her
clothes under her arm, and in a short time
reappears from the toilet room, looking as
fresh and we'll as If she had been sleeping in
her own house"
