MADE A MISTAKE.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harris In No Way Connected
With Zella NlcoIaus

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Dec. Is. The
Springfield Union today shows that the
report that Zella Nicolaus, who sued
George Gould to recover $4,000, did not
sail for Europe under the name of Harris.
NJ. K. Harris Of Beckett was seen by a
Union reporter. He said that the Mr.. and
Mrs. N. w. Harris were his brother and
sister-in-law and resided in Chicago. "Mr
Harris" he said, ''is Of the firm of N. w.
Harris e. Co., one of the largest banking
houses in Chicago, and Is irreproachable
In character"
Mr.. Harris was very much exercised
that his brother should have been mixed
up in the Nicolaus- Gould affair, and was
surprised that the mistake should have
occurred, as there was no secrecy I'm re-
gard to their sailing, and the steamship
officials should have been able to put
newspapers right without any trouble.

A New Streetcar Trolley.
tsburg Dispatch.


The greatest trouble usually found In the
working OF the electric trolley on car roads
is the wearing out of tho bushing in the
wheels at such rate that rebushing has
to be made once month. and the neces-
sity of excessive daily attention and much
oiling is entailed.
An attempt has been made to remedy
this fault by designing trolley, the bear
ings of which are made of fiber graphite,
and which hence require 70 oil whatever,
The bearings are fastened on each side of
the yoke and the pin or shaft is fastened to
the wheel, both revolving on the bearings
in the yoke.
This makes the trolley mechanically cor
rect and avoids all wobblng of the wheel,
which Is compelled to be steady and true.
Another advantage is that the springs are
unable to get out of place and must con-
stantly keep up the same contact, so there
Is no breaking or areing of the current.
and, moreover. no rattle.
Instead of the usual accumulation of oil.
grease and dirt on the top of the car, caused
by the oil splashing down from the trolley,
the car and rope are clean. This trolley
wheel is said to have run 900 miles with.
out showing appreciable wear.

Butler walked away. Some of the con-

there were over 240 people in that roasting

quarterback. while | looked through the
open door waiting for Tom to come out.
BY standing on the coaming of the BOBBY
hatch, got view over the heads of the
crowd and saw the whole picture.
Aaron sat at the head of the table in
shirt and trousers only. His black, pitted,
ugly face shone with sweat. They had
put one chair on top of another for him.
and he sat with his legs wide apart and
his feet on the table. Between his knees
was pail, out of which he was lading
drink Into pannikins, which endlessly
travelled his way or were extended at arm s
length to him. He seemed half drunk and
occasionally withdrew the ladle full of
liquor to flourish it over his head, while
ne uttered roar like a beast expressing g
JOY and having no note but a roar. AT
such lines he swayed on his perch as
though he must topple over.
AS vet not many of the felons were in
toxicated. but any one could see how it
must be with them presently. The younger
among the people made the most noise.
Again there was the aimess shouting of
the morning. the roaring chaff, the yells
one to another from distant points. the
frequent breaking into songs, with local
choruSes. swaggeringly chanted by those
near the singer. The heat was fright tful a;
was amazed that the wretches could draw
breath. AT this foremost end of the ia BILE,
high perched like the ruffian Aaron, was
the hare-lipped convict; he, too. had big
pail of liquor betwiXt his legs, the contents
OF which he served out with pannikin.
Nearly every man had pipe, and again
and again one or another of the convicts
rose to get light al the lamps. They
stood on their chairs with foot on the
table and lodged drunkenly at the flame,
with an open end of rope-yarn or piece
OF wood, and while it burned freely they
lighted their pipes, blowing out dense
clouds. and then they'd pass the little
burning brands to men shouting for them.
This was shockingato see. Nothing in
the behavior of the malefactors was so
fearfully menacing. All that l here de-
scribe l witnessed in the few minutes
