Colonel Robert White, attorney OF the
road, prosecuted the case, On account
Of the youth OF the boys they were let
on on light fine, $40 and costs, which
was paid, Both the'squire ana Colonel
White reprimanded and cautioned the
boys against these youthful depreda-
tons in the future, saying the next time
any one was caught no would suffer the
full penalty of the law, The law makes
breaking seals on cars a pententiary OIL

more for an example than anything
else. Future offenders will be sent up

Wire Shafts.
New York Sun.


Experiments have been made with the new
plan OF wire shafts for steamships. the result
showing that when The shaft Is in position and
rotating stress is applied. a tensile foIce is
exerted upon the individual wires and their
several faS:eningS-each is a unit OF strengI h
sustaining its part OF the total amount OF
stress. The STRENGTH of the individual wires
and Of the fastening being known 1t Is prac-
tlcable to ascertain the strength of the shaft
as a whole. Thus, If made, for instance, in
i've sections, its total length 100 feet,
and its diameter 10 inches. the shaft Will have
20. 900 No. steel wires, each 20 feet long,
with their $4,000 fasIenl9gS; each wire ana
each fastening Will sustain load of 500 POUNDS
without rupture or injury making d total in
berent strength OF 37.5oO.OOO pounds, or 20
times create in amount than the continuous
force Of an engine OF 5000 horse power. a
stress of % pounds upon each unit OF
strengthened point OF resistance existing in a

force of such an engin The details of this
plan, as suggested by Mr.. jerome, wel-knOwn

PUNISHED FOR CONTEMPT.
Editor Dunbar of the Phoenix Gazette
Fined and Imprisoned.


Tucson, Nov. 1O.-In the District Court
to-day Judge Sloane fined j. o. Dunbar,
editor OF the Phoenix Gazette, $500 and or
dered him to be confined in the County
Jail sixty days for contempt of court
Lengthy arguments were made before
Judge Sloane passed Cd the matter. One
of the points raised by Dunbar's attorneys
was that their client being absent from
Phoenix at the time the contemptuous ar
tices were written and published was not
responsible for what appeared In the Ga
zette. Another point was that the Gazette
Company and not It's editor was IN con-
tempt. The prosecution. however. made
clean sweep by pointing out that some
days ago Dunbar had in court declared
himself the dictator of the policy OF the
Gazette, and had claimed that he owned
controlling interest in the concern.
Two newspaper men are now soJourning
in the County Jail. Besides Dunbar there
Is Frank King. city editor OF the Gazette,
who is In for thirty days for contempt.
The community is much exercised over
the condition of affairs. While the better
class of citizens fully indorse the policy
pursued by Judge Sloane in dealing with
the Gazette people for their unjournallstic
conduct there are few people here max
ing feeble effort to secure his removal
from the bench on account of thespunish-
ment inflicted on Dunbar and King.

duct while attending the last General As

fense?"

of the presby terry, and that will relieve me
of the necessity of doing anything of the
kind. And I wish you would emphasize
this point: That l have been wanting to
leave, not the Presbyterian church alone,
but the ministry, for months. and have
been kept in against my will. My friends
have been too Jealous and my enemies
