West Coal street saloonkeeper and brewery
agent. The accused had been in the
county Jail for several weeks, awaiting trial.
Yes erday morning he made a desperate at
tempt to escape and caused much excitement
about the court house and Jail.
When the attempt was made Loutber was
crossing the street from the Jail to the court
house in company with Deputy Sheriff
O'Donnell and two other prisoners. Louther
suddenly made dash down the street and
paid no attention to the deputy's cry of stop
thief or I'll shoou' After running several
squares Louther fell exhausted in a vacant
lot and was recaptured by the deputy.
Subsequently one of the prisoners who
formed the group told the deputy sheriff that
Louther had declared in Jail that he in
tended to escape by jumping from one of the
windows of the room adjoining the court
room, where prisoners are held pending the
calling of their cases. To prevent such
| attempt Louther was handcuhed while watt
ing in the court house.
THEY GOT TEN DAYS.
H. S. Barton and T. S. Skunk were before
the court yesterday, charged with defrauding
the Ferguson House out of a board bill
They pleaded guilty few days ago and
sentence was suspended to give them time to
raise money for a settlement of the case
Having failed to raise the amount required
the young men were recalled for sentence.
G, A. Snyder, Esq, their attorney, made a
plea that the accused had no intention To
detraud the landlord that they were simply
in straigh tened circumstances and had a little
time been given they would have made it all
right with the landlord. Judge Weidman
considered the plea a plausible one and
sentenced each of the men to ten days i'm
prisonment.
WALTERS SENTENCED.
Edward Walters was called up to answer n
charge Of having robbed the butcher shop of
Adam Tabor, On East Centre street. He
received a centence of four months, $40 fine
and costs. 1t will be remembered that
Officer Flaherty arrested Walters at the
Lehigh Valley depot Immediately after the
robbery when Walters was walking towards
his home with piece Of meat weighing
twenty pounds under his gum coat.

Alexander Skeercavage was called up for
trial on charge of resisting an officer ana

was sentenced to pay the co. IS and serve 80
days in Jail, Ex- Constable Toomey was the
complainant.
NOT GUILTY.
Michael sheetz, a Hungarian, residing at
Boston Run, who was arrested in the First
ward several weeks ago on an uncomfortable
charge, was tried before Judge Bechtel yes
terday and found not guilty. The indict-
msnt described the charge "as the greatest
scandal OF all human kind"

Recently there has been some newspaper
discussion of the popular superstition that one
cannot touch the body of a murdered man
without the permission of Coroner. This
has led to the discovery of another popu lar
delusion. There is a common belief that if
one should see crime committed through
glass, that is, through window, a glass door,
or even through spectacles, his testimony
would not be accepted. A lawyer, in dis
cussing these ideas, said: There is moro law
and less common sense in the lay world than
any sane man could believe"

BEAUTIFUL Mas. sEEoHER.
A South Carolina Beno Whom the Nil
kado Caused to he Behondod.

Many newspaper readers will doubt
less remember the shock they felt in
the fall of 1884, when they read that
the fair and frail Countess Pourtales
had been beheaded by special edict
of the Mikado of Japan. 1t may now
be interesting to recall briefly the
main facts in her strange and event
full life. Miss Mary Boozer, the re-
puted daughter of Peter Burton, her
mothers second husband, was born
near Columbia, S. c., some time in
the forties. Her mothers first hus-
band was welded on his deathbed in
Philadelphia; the second died in a
very singular manner in Columbia;
the third committed suicide in
Newberry, South Carolina, and
the fourth was abandoned by the
muchly married but beautiful woman,
whose remains nov repose in Il pau
per's grave in NewNork. Such were
the antecedents of the lovely Countess
Pouatales When Gen. sherman left
Columbia's smoking ruins in 1865
among those who followed his army
were Mrs. Feaster and her daughter
Mary, or Marie, as she called herself,
Booaer. The young woman is repre-
scented as having been accomplished,
graceful, vivacious and with color
more transcendantly beautiful than
the rose" and before she had been
long in New York she fascinated and
became the wife of the wealthy
John Beecher She lived in
magnificent style, her toll ,,,,l,

@n'o saw it. But she soon began a
Irritation with prominent member
of the ieunesse dore of New York,
MIR. Lloyd Phoenix, but, in a fit of
jealousy, shot at him as he passed up
his sisters steps on Fifth avenue
After her husband separated from her
she fled to Europe in pursuit of MIR,
Phoenix. In Paris Mrs. Beecher
/ sported on her divorced husband S
money, generously given to her, and
led life of luxurious pleasure. She
had the handsomest turnout on the
Bots, aud gave most sumptuous din

which the operator can recognize the
card inverted. He selects from the
pack three cards in which the line en-
graved around the card is nearer the
edge at one extremity than at the
other. He places the three cards upon
table before the spectators in such u
way that the wider margin of the card
is at the bottom with respect to the
spectators and the narrower at the
top, as is the case with the three
cards represented herewith. The three
top margins are narrower than the
bottom ones. This is especially par
ceptible in the king of spades, but is
very apparent also in the two other
cards, which are accurately repro
duced from photograph When a
card has been inverted, it is easy to
perceive it in noticing that the wider
margin is at the top with respect to the
spectators. The difference in width
OF the two margins is very apprecia-
bic to the operator, but escapes the
eyes of the spectators who are not
posted This amusing experiment
never fails to excite astonishment-

An Air Thermometer.

The air thermometer is the name
given to a recent English device for
warning of a fire. In this apparatus
the expansion of air by heat in an air
box fitted to the ceiling of the room is
made to initiate thin hollow India.
rubber diaphragm. This raises small
terminal rod, bringing it into contact
with another terminal, an electric cir
cult being thus completed, the current
ringing an alarm bell and releasing
semaphore, which serves to indicate
the location of the outbreak. AS thus
arranged the apparatus consists of
three essential parts, the air box, the
pulsator and the indicator. Heat cur
rents ascending to the ceiling cause
the enclosed air in the air box to ex-
pand-the force of this expansion be-
Ing directed by pipe to the under
side of the India rubber diaphragm of
this pulsator-an electrical current Is
in this way made and the alarm given.
The air box and pulsator may be in
the same room, or in proximity to each
other, but the indicators may be
placed in any part of the building or
at remote distance, The sensitive
ness of such an apparatus to thermal

can be adjusted over a wide range of
temperature, have, it is asserted Been

Then, as long as the spring extended

of the eye the circuit will be open, but
the engagement of the eye by the

of the improvement as shown in the
illustration, the door needs to be

An improvement in the mechanism
employed for cremating garbage has
lately been effected; which is declared
to realize most important desidera-
tum-the spreading of the flames to
all parts of the furnace in which the
waste matter is deposited, just the
same as would be the case in coal or
wood fire, The burner employed is q
tube four inches in diameter, bent at
right angle, one arm being two feet
long and the other one foot, and there
are two smaller pipes inside this large
tube, one of which is inside the other.
The end of the burner shows three
openings; from the center one comes
the steam; from the next one
narrow rim outside the steam
the last and largest of six outside
holes in the face of the burner comes
the air, which is pumped or forced
from the blower, driven by the engine.
Thus the oil from the tank outside
| flows by gravity to the burner, where
! it is taken by the air current, which
1 completely surrounds the oil and car
leo It, from four to fifteen feet as q
body of glowing flame then, by pc
| culiar spiral method of boring the air
holes in the face of the burner, ro-
tary or whirling motion is given to the
burning flame, causing it to expand
and fill the whole cham Der. The com
bustion produced by using both air
and steam is the most intense heat
that can be Obtained by artificial
neans-Uoo powerful for anything to
| endure more than few moments.

heat is nearly 1000 degrees

perhaps for that very reason-he
sailed with her for Japan as an at
tache of the French. legation. In
Japan she carried on so lively hirta-
ton with the French officer that
Count Pourtales claimed that their
marriage had been illegal, and, leav-
ing her, returned to Paris, whittier
she followed him. After another
round OF the widest extravaganza in
Paris she fascinated -, whom she
married and who accompanied her
back on her last voyage to Japan. 1t
was not long after their arrival that
her third husband abandoned her on
account of her too great intimacy
with the prime minister OF Japan
Thereupon she became the mistress
of the prime minister, who made
every effort to keep her in strict Sc
clusion, but without avail, for she
soon took up with Japanese official.
This so exasperated the prince that
at his request the Mikado issued a
special edict and she was beheaded.

June 30, 1892. The total railway
mileage of the country was III 563. 80
miles, being an increase during the
year of 3160.7S miles, the smallest in
crease for number Of years. The
railways which during the year We're
added to the class OF railways operat-

guard strips, and is adapted when
swung upward to project them to the
full height necessary to prevent the
passage of cattle, as shown in one of
the views. The guard strips are prefer
ably of metal, painted some bright
color that they may more efficiently
brighten away cattle as they are
suddenly thrust upward. When the
platform is depressed by an animal
stepping upon it, one end of the tilt
ing arms is swung down and the other
lifted, thus carrying upward the de-
pending brace and rod, with the at
tached guard strips. The latter, while
of sufficient stiffness to stand upright
ordinarily, are designed to bend over
under heavy pressure, as in case of
stampede of cattle, when the strips
may be pushed down to allow the cat
tie to pass without injury.

There is large bowlder lying in
field near Foremark, England, which
is known throughout Derbyshire as
"Hangman's stone" The exposed
portion of the bowlder rises about six
feet above the surface of the sur
rounding field and has narrow ditch
or indentation running across the top.
The mark, so tradition says, was
made in this way: A sheep thief in
the dead of night, while leaning
against the bowlder to rest, placed
his booty above ON the fat surface of
the stone. The man had the sheep
tied with rope, and in its efforts to
escape the creature slipped on the OPP
posite side, and the rope, catching
under the thief chin, choked him to
death. The indentation in the rock
was made by the friction of the rope
while the dying man was engaged in
an effort to extricate himself

In some recent Investigations by NJ.
Simon concerning the noise of gas en-
CINE eXhausts, he has ascertained the
fact that the noise is of two kinds,
namely, a blow at every discharge,
also distinctive note given out by
the escape of the gases under pressure.
which is always produced whether
the exhaust is spasmodic or regular.
AS master of practice, he says, the
shock of the first can be mitigated by
eXhausting into chambers which
play the same part as the air
chambers of double acting pumps,
though, unfortunately, this rem
edy is limited in application by the
danger of filling large receivers with
gases that may have escaped combus-
ton in the cylinder, and thus com
pose an explosive miXture-moreover
such method of regula alton creates
back pressure, and, therefore, for two
reasons, it is of limited applicability.
What is required, according to M. ST.
mon, is gradual and insensible dimi-
mutton of the average velocity of the
exhaust gases; by means of such an
arrangement, he declares, the varia
tions of pressure, and consequently
volume, would be rendered very small,
and the violence of the blows would
be diminished-under which circum-
stances the exhaust gases, having a
lower velocity, would no longer pro-
duce loud noise.

The illustration shows simple and
Inexpensive apparatus for application
to cattle gap, to prevent cattle from
getting their legs caught between the
sleepers above the gap, and also to
prevent their passing over it, and to
Brighten them away. The part of the
gap on which the cattle are likely to
approach is covered by a vertically
moving platform extending beneath
the rails, and hinged at one edge, the
sleepers being recessed to provide for
the limited up and down movement of
the platform. On the under side of
the platform is cleat carrying de-
pending arm pivoted at its lower end
between parallel fitting arms which
oscillate on shaft supported in hang
ers. To the inner ends of the fitting
arms is fastened depend
