FACED The MOB.
Deputy Marshal Exoner-
ated From Blame.
When He Killed Man He Was Sim.
ply Doing His Duty.

CHICAGO, Dec. 18.-Judge Grosscup has
made an crier that William j. Stark, one
of the deputy marshals arrested during
the strike for killing, be dis
charged as the prisoner was in custody
for an act done in defiance of q law OF
the United States and therefore was held
in violation of the constitution and laws
of the United States. The judge also di-
rected that his sureties be released and
discharged from all obligations ON tho
bond.
Stark was appointed q United States
deputy marshal during the late strike,
and July 8 was guarding the track
and property OF the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad. During the day cars
were upset and burned, and the deputy
marshals were attacked. Stark fired into
the crowd and shot one William e.
Assyln, who died four days later. Stark
was arrested, and the coroner's jury
held him and he was taken to fail. july
IL, writ of habeas corpus in his behal
was heard by Judge Grosscup, who ad.
mitted him to bail, his defense being that
he was an officer of the United States
in performance OF his duty at the time of
the shooting and that the mob were tres
passers in defiance of the INDUCTION Of the
court issued July2.

The YACHTSMEN.
Lord Dunraven Disappointed
at Turn in Affairs.
He Will Race for a New Trophy in
New York Waters.
Ratsey Says Americans Want the Best
End of Everything.

LONDON, Dec. 16.-Lord Dunraven is
undoubtedly much disappointed at the
turn affairs have taken in connection with
his challenge for the Americas cup.
Lord Dunraven is anxious to arrange q
race for q new trophy, the contest to oc-
cur in New York waters during the
month of September and over the same
course and under the same conditions as
the race for the Americas cup.
The general talk here is that the New
York Club don't want a race.
The st. James Gazette this afternoon
remarks: "The New York Yacht Club
has only itself to blame for the result Of
the negotiations. Indeed, by re-opening
the question OF holding the cup, the club
has given an idea to many yachtsmen
that IL never wanted to race"
The admiralty court was crowded today
by yachtsmen and others in
terested in the action of Lord
Dunraven against Mr.. A. d. Clark,
owner OF the Satanita, which cutter
sunk the old Valkyrie on July
fifth OF the present year, on the first day
the waters of the Clyde, just previous to
the start in the race for the Muir
memorial cup, in which event the
Prince OF Wales cutter, Britannia, scored
her first victory over the Messrs. Goulds'
Vigilant. II should be added, however,
that Lord Dunraven is only the nominal
plaintiff in the suit which is really brought
by the underwriters.
Lord Dunraven was present in court for
n short time only this morning. Among
the men interested On both sides of the
Atlantic in the prospects of the dis
cussed international yacht race, is
Ratsey, the well-known sailmaker Of
Cowes, who is said to be the only man in
England capable Of drilling suit OF rae
ing sails for cup challenger.
Ratsey's opinion of the prospects OF q
race next year may be summoned up as
follows: "The Americans want 10 have the
best end of everything and no sportsman
ought to want that"

INTERNATIONAL CHESS.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The Daily News, re-
ferring TO the challenge issued to the
British Chess Club by the Manhattan
Chess Club OF New York, expresses the
hope that it viii be accepted. The
News, however, desires to say that the
British Chess Club does not represent
active London chess in the sense
that the Manhattan and Ber-
lin clubs represent New York
and Berlin, adding that not
one of the strong professional players
resident in London belongs to the British
Chess Club. Still, The News continues,
the British Club is in the best position to
arrange match.

these mollusks manage to produce these
cavities? Some assert that the animal
secretes an acid which cuts into the rock.
Though this might be true for limestone,
it does not explain the holes in granite or
siliceous rocks. Other naturalsts attrib
ute the perforation of the hole to a me-
chanical action of the shell. Its thick
edge acts after the fashion of file by the
swaying movement of the animal
The most probable hypothesis is that
which attributes this work to the flcshy
mass possessed by mollusks and usually
called a foot. On that of the pholades a
multitude of little hard crystals have been
discovered. This instrument may be COM
pared to emery or sand paper. The animal
might pierce hole by the friction of its
foot against the rock.
The pholadcs are also interesting from
another point OF view. They are the most
phosphorescent of mollusks For centu-
ries they have been known to possess this
property. Pliny, the naturalist, men
tons it in his writings. 1t was known
that they had the power of shining in tho
dark and that when any one ate them he
had u phosphorescentsmouth. The mucus
they sccrete is luminous.
Inc luminosity OF the pnOladeS suggests
to the writer of the foregoing Originally
translated from the French by Popular
Science News the magnificent spectacle Of
the phosphorescencc of the sea. He ex-
plains that this is not due, as its name
seems to indicate, to the presence of phos-
phorus, but to swarms of very small crea-
lures called noctiiucitlD. A noctiluca is a
very simple organism, formed essentially
of little transparent gclatinous ball, pro-
vidcd with long, prolonged propeller, tho
flagcllum. The noctilucidp are hardly
visible except through microscope. Tho
light is produced in the midst of the gclat-
inous mass by numerous Illuminating
points. The light only appears when the
liquid in which the nCctilucidae are swim

EXPENSES MUST BE PAID.
Amount of Taxes Necessary to BE Raised
Annually. $3.50. 900. 900.

Amount of Taxes Necessary to he Raised
Annually. S35O,OOO,OO
In the discussion of the tariff in the
senate it seems now that the party in
power has entirely lost sight of the fact
that the above sum must be raised an
nually for the running expenses of the
national government. One would sup
pose, from the nature and tone of many,
that those who are now parading them
selves as reformers actually believe that
by some hocus pocus tariff manipulation
the people will in the end escape the
payment of this $3.50, 900, 900 annually.
The Democratic party may deceive
itself by enacting laws which compel
the people to change methods of paying
their share of the national expenses, but
the common people-the thinking peo-
ple-cannot be deceived. The yeomanry
of this country today are not asking
whether they shall pay their national
share of the taxes as income tax, import
tax, internal revenue tax or direct tax.
One thing they emphasize, "Let the old
system alone" We were satisfied with
the prosperity that enabled us to uncon-
sciously pay our share of the public bur-
dens in the last 30 years.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1894-06-13

The Democratic party has neither
head, leader nor we'll defined issue. Its
tariff bill is a hodgepot Of free trade,
modified by protection in streaks. These
streaks are because some Democrat has
in his state or district certain vital in
dustries which he must protect or go
into private life.
They talk free trade and increase the
duty on wooden goods. They talk free
iron ore and then vote solidly in the
senate with the Republicans for duty
on it. They are sorry for most votes as
soon as they are recorded and drift from
day to day looking for a political cy-
clone to save them from dying natural
death. They are like the fellow in
Heine's poem who was in love with the
widowed mother and her handsome
daughter. He could not make up his
mind which one he wanted most. Let
MS paraphrase the last verse to suit it to
their present condition.:
So like any idiot ass
Hungry for the fragrant fodder,
Placed between two bales of grass
Lo! they doubt, delay and dodder.
