A New YORK company is getting out
new telephone which will be
furnished to subscribers at two dollars
per month. The new phone does
away with the electrical battery, as
did the first Bell pa tent, which has ex-
pred. It has been improved and, as q
magnetic telephone, can perform all
the work of the battery phones, as the
magnets are powerful enough without
battery aid The rate, two dollars q
month, is cheap service; but the public
would like some assurance that this
low rate wi be permanent. Cheap
phones have often been promised, but

mad1y forward and in the rush swept
one gallant boy around the corner and
away from bis company but he quick
ly returned to his post.
The curses and imprecations of the
thoroughly ,naddened crowd grew in
volume and the wretched prisoner
trembled like an aspen. His saddle
color became purple and he had to
be supported. Col. Colt rallied his
men for supreme effort and the pris-
oner was almost carried up the steps
and into the courthouse. There was
then scene Of intense excitement,
men armed with slaves and any form
of weapon rushed blindly almost onto
the bayonets of the soldiery and some
so far forgot themselves as to rush al
most on the troops.
Warned tho Mob.
Col. Colt, commanding the troops,
stopped on the steps of the courthouse
to warn the excited people to dispense,
and after his earnest warning had
fallen on deafears, he shouted: Load"
and there was uniform clicking Of
hammers and every soldier prepared
his piece for trouble, if trouble must
come.
Pleaded Guilty.
Once up to the third floor Of the
courthouse and into the room where
the trial is held, Dolby was soon le-
gally declared criminal. At exactly
1852 he was led into the courtroom,
pleaded guilty, and in three minutes
he was sentenced to twenty years
imprisonment, ten days in each year
in solitary confinement
Meanwhile the mob was clamor-
ing for admission. The crowd grew
in numbers and the accessions proved
an inspiration to the tired leaders,
who had exhausted themselves.
Called for Reinforcements.
Col. Colt at this juncture telephoned
the adjutant general at Columbus for
200 additional troops. IF you want
me to bring the man to Columbus :
said Col. Colt, with characteristic en-
phasis, II will do it. but it will cost
blood" Col. Colt then made speech
to the crowd.
1T looks very much,' said he, as if
you intend to make an attack on the
legal authorities. There will be
trouble if you do. I call on law-abid-
ing citizens to disperse and go to their

Attacked the Courthouse.
This was received as other warnings
had been. The prisoner had been
taken to back room in the sheriff
Office on the third floor. At 6:10 the
crowd, largely augmented, surrounded
the building and with huge improvised
battering rams battered the doors In
rapid succession. The troops were
fastened together in the courthouse at
all entrances. The doors were barri-
caded from within and furniture piled
against them. The soldiers stood with
pieces cooked and bayonets fixed and
waited till the doors would yield.
Huge stones were thrown against the
doors and the noise was deafening.
ALI the time loud and angry yells came
from the crowd. Col. Colt went into
the crowd and said: II any man OF
you hit one Of my men / will direct
him to aim directly at that mans
heart.

DEED Of A CRAZY WOMAN.

Burned with Their Home
KNOXVILLE, Ia, Oct 23-The resi-
dence of Silas Jones, farmer living
near here, burned Saturday morning.
The remains of Jones and his wife
were found in the ruins. The
condition of the two bodies, to-
gether with surrounding circum-
stances, now leads to the belief in the
community where they lived that the
burning of the house and the death of
Jones and his wife were not accidental,
but that Mrs. Jones, in an insane con-
dition, murdered her husband and
burned the house over them.

CH1CAGo, Oct. 2O.-Unusual interest
is attached to the annual meeting of
Pullman's Palace Car company held
Thursday on account Of the part taken
by that company in the last big rail-
road strike. AS expected, President
Pullman in his report referred to the
strike at some length denying the
charges Of inhumanity which have
been made against him from time to
time. The usual quarterly dividend
of two dollars a share was declared,
which shows that the company was
affected but little by the cessation of
work at the Chicago shops.
