IN A SAFE PLACE.
Escaped Murderers Are Believed 60 he
Hiding In Massachusetts,.

Hiding In Massachusetts.
GREAT HARRINGTON. Mass, April a.
Word has been brought to Deputy Sheriff
Ralfstanger that two men, closely re-
sembling Roehl and Pallister, the con-
demned murderers who escaped from Sing
Sing prison, arc In this vicinity. The in
formation on which the sheriff bases his
belief was gained from Henry Hughes and
William G. Weaver, both of Mt. Washing
ton and both reputable citizen&
They state that while driving towards
this town they saw disappearing into the
woods, near the base of the mountain, two
men, whose personal appearance at once
led them to suspect their identity. Hughes
obtained a full view OF them, and their ac-
counts of the mems appearance tally ex-
actly with the published descriptions of
the escaped convicts. A message was at
once sent TO Inspector Byrnes, and the clew
will be investigated.
Mount Washington is a rough and
rocky eminence, and should the convicts
once become concealed in the woods and
caves, detection is almost impossible.

BEATS THE NCANDESCENT
Electricians Have Invented a New
Kind Of Electric Lamp.
EXPERIMENTS ARE BEING MADE
Which VIII Open Up n New Field OF In-
dustry-Ihe Lamp Can be Made at
Much Less Cost Than Edison's
Invention.

BRocKToS, Mass, April 27-Ever since
II became known to electricians generally
that the incandescent lamps manufac-
tured In opposition to the Edison lamp in
fringed upon the patent rights of the
latter, there has been an effort made to
place upon the market a lamp which
would not be considered an infringement.
That such lamp has been discovered is
the claim made by certain electricians who
have been experimenting In this city for
several weeks past. The experiments were
conducted with the greatest secrecy at the
the works of the Economic Manufacturing
company.
Edison's patent provides for an incan-
descent lamp of continuous glass, with a
carbon fllament, while the lamp which Is
soon to be put upon the market, although
made on the same general principle us the
Edison lamp,
Does Not Contain the Glass Tip
which holds the carbon. The substance
which takes the place Of the glass tip is
composed of chemicals, principally oxides,
and several demonstrations have shown il
to be of far greater strength than the glass
provided in the Edison lamp The fila
ment which will be used In this lamp IL
the same as that used in the Van Choate
lamp.
The cost Of manufacturing lamps by thu
new plan is not as great as that of the Edi
son lamp. The new lamps are now OF
trial in Boston, and the invention is con
trolled by a wellknown banking firm
which is also interested In the Economic
works Of this city. AS result OF
the legal restrictions placed upon
the several companies, because Of
the alleged infringement, as claimed
by the Edison company, the differ
ent manufacturers of lamps were Obliged
to stop making them. With the new dis
covery, many Of these factories will re-
open and again begin the manufacture of
lamps. The electricians who have seen
the new lamp say it Is great thing and it
will have tendency to make this kind Of
supplies cheaper for the public.

SENATOR STAMFORD DEAD,
The California Millionaire Expires Sud
denly at Menlo Park,

MEMO PARK, June 2L-Srnator
Leland Stanford died at IL o'clock to-
night He passed away peacefully in
his sleep at his residence at Palo Alto.
Senator Stanford was in the best Of
spirits yesterday. He took drive
around his stock farm and seemed as
well as ever
He retired shortly after 10 O'Clock,
and about midnight his valet, g ing
into the Senator's bedroom, discovered
that he was dead
Tue Senator looks perfectly natural
as he lies in bed, 10 king from all ap.
pearances to be in deep sleep Mr.
Stanford went out yesterday for drive
to San Carlos and around his farm,
and returned late in the afternoon, APP
parently in the best Of health.
His body will be embalmed.
For several weeks Senator Stanford
had been very i'll. His hearing was
very much affected, and when a ChyoR-
icle reporter called on him a week ago
he was hardly able to move alb cut with
out assistance He then said that he
was victim of govt, and that by tax
ing the hot water cure he would soon
be all right.
For breakfast, lunch and dinner he
took large cup Of hot water and some
meat, but no vegetables were all wed
him. At that time he did not antci-
pate anything serious, and he talked
confidently about the plans he had in
view for the future,
Not the slightest indicaton of his being
in a precarious condition had entered
his mind, and neither Senator Stanford
nor his private secretary, Mr. Nash
had any idea that his aImeut was
dangerous
The Senator himself felt jovial anc
told how he enjoyed his dinners, anc
his utterances were endorsed by hi,
wife. He said he did not intend to
return to Washington unless the Re
publican party needed him in Congress
and there is no doubt but he wouIc
have resigned his United States Sena
torship before long.
He expressed desire to live at leas
ten years longer, SO that he would be
able to bring his university at Pale
Alto into prominence among the edu
cational institutions of the country.
There was certainly no thought o
his early death in the Senator's mine
when he sat by his Preside just a week
ago Sunday and discussed the plans he
had in his mind for the future.
81 am feeling very we'll" he sale
then, "and with proper care | hope tC
live at least ten years longer, although
l am sxty-nne years old"
"Make it twenty, Leland said Mrs
Stanford, and he smiingly consented
to extend the limit,
No one seeing him at that time
would have dreamed that his days wer
numbered. He had to be assisted il
walking, but he seemed to be strong
and his mind was certainly as stroni
and clear as ever.
