A wonderfuI Locomotire.

A wonderful railroad locomotive, the
invention of w. j. Coleman, of Mime
apolis, is expected to bring about a revo-
luton in modern methods of travel and
to make possible the attachment Of such
speed as anywhere from 100 to 40 miles
per hour The principal feature of
the invention is truck run
ming under the driving wheels
Of the LOCOMOTIVES Instead of
four drivers, twelve are used, arranged
in pairs of threes. Each three is bound
together by iointed bars, in order to
make the truck flexible On top OF these
three run two wheels, also joined fexi
bly,, while above these runs the driving
wheel. By making the roller gearing of
the trucks much smaller in diameter
than the driving Wheel one revolution
of the latter sends the engine forward
twice the distance as under ordinary cir
cumstances. It is therefore claimed that
tho new locomotive will Just double
the speed made by the best class Of old
style engines.

Colonel Benjamin Nields. counsel for
the defense in the suit Of the administra.
tor Of Harry E. Peace vs.. the johnson
Forge Company exhausted his supply of
witnesses yesterday afternoon and
rested.
Neil Gibbons, an employe Of the Harlan
and Hollingsworth Company, testified
that they used cranes in the foundry but
did not use the catches toprevent slipping.
The cranes were provided with them but
the attachments of the kind were re-
garded as useless. Witness did not
think It possible for the gearing TO pass
from the slow TO the fast while in mo-
tion.
While Messrs Neilds and Bird were
arguing a point the witness tainted and
fell from the box. He was carried Co
the Grand Jury room in the rear of the
Court room and soon revived.
In order to allow the witness time Ia
recover his composure, John r. johnson,
president Of the Johnson Forge com
pany, was put upon the stand. He
never knew a forge company to use
catches on its cranes. The workmen dc
not want them as they prevent quick
work He continued that IL would be o
mechanical imposiblity for the wheels "a
slip from the slow to the fast gear
while the machinery was in motion.
Under cross-examination he admitted
that appliances could be put on the
crane TO prevent It from slipping.
Foreman Joseph H. Mahoney swors
that he was present when Peace wai
hurt. Peace got up, walked about
fifteen feet and then sat down in Q
| fainting 1t. He did not know how th,
accident happened, but he did know that
It was impossible for the gearing TO sliI

with 1000 pounds of iron hanging on the
end Of the chain. The slipping Of the
rope would simply jam the gear H'

He admitted that acatch would have
prevented the slipping.
When Mahoney left the stand Gibbins
the man who had tainted, was able to bl
questioned. His testimony was unimpor
tant in its character
Dr. Joseph p. Pyle made statemen
concerning Peace's condition He base'
it upon an examination that he and DR.
Ogle had made at the request OF tn

tortions were as great when the curren
Of the battery was of as when 1t was on
He believed that Peace was shamming.
The defense then rested its case an
Court adjourned.
Colonel Nields cited many authoritie
npon the liability Of the employer an
the contributory negligence of the en-
ploye. He then began addressing th

Much Popular AnimOsity Shown Toward
His Prosecutors, the Jews.
BERLIN, Dec. 9-Rector Ahlwardt was
sufficiently recovered to-day to allow his
trial to proceed. The public prosecutor
caused surprise in court by making an
announcement implying that Ahlwardt
had deliberately brought about the illness
which disabled him yesterday
The prosecutor said that two morphia
powders had been found in Ahlwardt' s
pocket and also notes setting forth the
terms in wich the defendant proposed to
describe his illness to the attending
physician.
The trial is proceeding. There is much
popular sympathy for Ahlwardt, and a
proportionate increase of animosity to-
ward the Jews.
Frequent instances are reported of
Jews having their boards pulled in the
streets and of other indignities being in
ficted by unruly individuals.
On this account many of the Polish
Jews resident in Berlin hold their boards
with their hands when going about the
rougher portion of the city Some OF
them, notwithstanding this precaution
have had handfuls of hair snatched
away.
The enemies Of the Jews indulge in all
sorts of charges against them, the favor
ite allegations being usury. and thai
they are devoid of patriotic spirit.

America Misrepresented.
BRUssELs, Dec. 9.-The bi-metallist
delegates express much irritation at the
indefinite and double dealing course of
the British delegation. the majority Of
whose members seem anxious TO prevent
any result exc pit failure, OF the deliber-
alton of the conference, while at the
same time endeavoring TO hoodwink In
dia and the strong bi-metallist sentiment
in Great Britain by pretence of sin
cerity.
TIE bi metalist delegates are thinking
of signing memorandum exposing the
duplicity of Great Britain which is be-
lieved to be reflected in the course Of the
British delegates.
Some of the American delegates are
not satisfied with the statement of Presi-
dent Andrews to the conference that the
United States would sooner part with
South America and Asia than with
Europe. They regard the statement as
pandering to the monometallist plans of
Great Britain and Germany and as not
in accord with American sentiment, and
likely to offend the republics Of South
America, with several of which the
United States has entered into recipro
city treaties.
One of the cheap fears of the mono
mentallists of Great Britain and the con
tnent has been that the United States
and South America might join a silver
combination and ignore Europe and this
apprehension has led the monomentallisti
TO make at least some show of concilia
tion. It is argued by the majority OF th'
American delegates that the statemen
Of President Andrews was calculated il
this respect to weaken the American

Archbishop Katzer of Milwaukee Does
Not Think the Prelate's Endorsement
of the FaribauIt Plan Authorized by
the Pope-The Address Objectionable
to the Clergy.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Dec 9.-Arch-
bishop Katzer of this city is one of the
leaders among the Catholic clergy of
America opposing the Faribault school
system. He was asked his opinion of
of Mgr Satollis practical Endorsement
of the Faribault system before the recent
archiepiscopal conference in New York.
Mgr. Zeininger, who was present. sug
gested that the archbishop might show
to the reporter letter ne had received
from DR.. d. j. OConnell Mgr. Satollis
companion. with reference to the pam
phlet from which the address is taken.
The archbishop produced the letter. 1t
is dated November %, and in it DR.. o.
Connell said: Il do not think it is the
opinion of Mgr Satolli that the responsi-
bility of the pamphlet rest with the
archbishop
''Do you mean to say that DR.. O'Con
nell holds that the suggestions Of Mgr

"They are not. They are Mgr Satolli's
personal opinions the archbishop ex-
planned.
Mgr Zeininger made this explanation
although the speech of Mgr Satolli was
read and discussed at the late arch epis-
copal conference it was not adopted.
| Moreover, the resolution which pledged
adherence TO the rules laid down at the
council at Baltimore was adopted instead.
About twelve days ago We received a
pamphlet printed in Latin and English,
containing Mgr Satollis speech in full.
We expressed surprise at the publication
of the pamphlet and the speech, since the
latter had left no impression upon the
action of the archbishops and was not
adopted. In reply to a query, we re
ceived the letter from DIR. OConnell
us the speech of Mgr. Satolli obiec
tionable2' was asked of Mgr. Zeininger
