THE. GENDARMEs REITERATED

Before the Fury of an Hungarian Mob at
Zsobosselow.
VIENNA. March 3.-A riot attended
by severe fighting and bloodshed &C.
CURED Wednesday in the town of
Zsobosselow. Hungary. The cause of
the outbreak was the imposition of new
market tolls which the populace of
Zsobosselow and of the Haiduck dis
trict resented. As the authorities
feared trouble an extra force of gen.
darmes was stationed at the market
place in Zsobosselow. The people
gathered in large numbers and began
pelting the gendarmes with stones and
mud. The latter were unable to re-
sist the mob and retreated
to the Zsobosselow town hall.
There the gendarmes were quickly
surrounded, the populace endeavoring
to enter the hall in pursuit. The latter
barricaded the building and fired upon
the furious multitude. The latter only
grew more enraged, and would proba-
bly, have captured the town hall and
killed the gendarmes but for the timely
arrival of reinforcements, which were
summoned to the scene.
After a long conflict the rioters
having been killed and many wounded.
In addition to the rioters killed during
the fight woman was killed by the
fire of the gendarmes during the con-
hict at the market place, an incident
which added greatly to the fury and
obstinacy of the mob.

Then came demonstrations of the ease
with which Tesla can produce light by
aid of one wire. He explained that it
had always been regarded as necessary
to produce electric light to have two
wires. connecting one with one pole
and the other with the other pole. He
had found that it was quite possible to
do with only one wire, and producing
an induction coil he proceeded to con-
meet it with single wire, on which
he attached a bulb, from which
the air had been extracted in the
ordinary manner, and from which
came light at first faint and feeble.
but, under altered conditions. powerful,
brilliant and finally dazzling. Insome
respects even greater results were pro-
duced with the one wire than with the
two, and the various reasons for this
were listened to by the experts present
with apparently great interest When
finally a light was produced from a
single wire sufficient to light up the
entire parquette quite brilliantly, al

Mr.. Tesla went on to pass electric

as well as profit to the human race.

Mr.. Tesla explained that the expert
nents in this direction were entirely
crude and in their infancy, and IA,
though there was nothing ia the lee
ture at all bordering upon boastinc,
there was a great deal of hope expressed
as to what might be achieved in the
future. Indeed, Mr.. Tesla promised
that in the early future he would pro-
duce light of this character on COM
mercial basis, and no one who wit
messed the demonstrations and experi-
ments last evening will be anxious to
cross swords with the young inventor.
or to dispute the possibility of his
achieving any results he may desire or

ST. Louis, March a.-Seldom has the

last night, when Nil1ola Tesla gave a
lecture and demonstration illustrative
of his latest achievements in the way

The hosphorescent light thus pro-
duced lacks the dazzling whiteness of
the incandescent and is somewhat
green in appearance. But the light
that apparently came out of the lee
turer's body had sufficient illuminating
power to make his hand and arm clear
ly visible, and when he raised the light
above his head and shook it several
times the enth usiasm of the audience
knew no bounds AS the lights were
turned up the shouts of ''bravo" came
from parquet and balcony and from the
experts close to the experimenter. The
ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and
several of the gentlemen were equally
excited, and it was fully minute be-,

Successful. and wonderful as was this
experiment it sank into insignificance
compared with what followed. TAX

uring three or four feet, the lecturer
again connected himself with the pow
erful alternating current with his
right hand, and the moment
the lights were turned out the
entire. tube became phosphorescert.
Standing on the stage with this illu-
mined tube in his hand, the lecturer
looked like some magician producing
light, and huan of admiration passed
through the spectators, Next he put
the tube hig in tlle air and whirled it
around his head several times. Then
grasping it in the center, he twirled it
to and fro much as the attendant at
Donnybrool0 fair shakes his sllillalan.

increased by the knowledge that every

Little Frances Richie and Lillian
Campbell had a runaway experience OH
Sunday afternoon, which although re-
markab1y fortunate in its results, they
will never wish to duplicate. Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob Ball had driven in from the
farm and were enjoying a Sunday dinner
at T. B. Campbel1's, their horse being
tied to a post in front of the residence.
While the grown folks were at dinner,
the two little girls above named united
the horse and got into the vehicle, bent
on having a drive. The animal is of
runaway proclivities, and soon started
on a run, the speed being increased by
screams of terror uttered by the fright
ened girls. On the slope in the north
eastern part of the city the little ones
were thrown out, and the runaway con
tinued its wild career as far east as S.. P.
Harris farm. Other than a few cuts and
bruises the little ones received no injur-
les, and the animal and topless buggy
came out of the marve1ously fortunate
accident without any damage to speak
of. The horse is the same animal which
ran away with John McAdams, some
weeks since, and injured him quite
severely.
