James Cox was found lying near the
foot of Illinois street at 10 o'clock Satur-
day morning with cash in his scalp.
He said he had been shot by Max
Schmidt, saloon keeper near by. Cox
was sent to the county hospital and
Schmidt arrested. AT the county hospi-
tai the attending physician said Cox had
not been shot, and that the scalp wound
was of a trihing nature. Cox was re-
turned to the East Chicago avenue sta
ton and locked up. Schmidt was charged
with assault, gave bond and was re-
leased.
Patrolman Becker went to Schmidt's
saloon and secured possession Of a pc
culiar revolver. 1t is circular i'll shape
and resembles a pocket tape measure
with short barrel attachment. Inside
the device is a revolving cylinder with
seven chambers of small callber. The
revolver is held in the small of the hand,
with the barrel protruding through the
fingers. The operator can discharge the
weapon by squeezing it, and the pro-
truding barrel also serves the purpose OF
brass knuckles. Cox said that Schmidt
struck him with this weapon several
times and then shot him in the head.
The caliber of the revolver is only %,
the bullets being oblong in shape. The
weapon makes only slight report, but
is capable of doing considerable damage
1t is the first of its kind the police of the
East Chicago Avenue station have seen.

Speedy Locomotives.

Much has been said of the new Big
Four and other locomotives, but here is
one that seems TO eclipse everything on
this side of the water when everything
is considered.
One of the London and Northwestern
engines during a race 10 Scotland in 1888
covered the distance from Preston to
Carlisle, 90 miles, in exactly 80 minutes,
having a gradient Of no less than one in
seveuty-five to climb between Tebay and
Shah Summit. One of the most famous
engines of this company is known as the
Charles Dickens and runs daily from
Manchester 10 London and back, dis
tance Of 366i miles. Except when
stopped for repairs the Charles Dickens
has, since February, 1852, made this
tourney every day, working up the $50
a, IN. from Manchester and returning
with the p. IN. from Euston. On Sept,
y. 1891. it completed the two thousand
sis hundred and fifty frs, trip, having
accomplished the extraordinary feat OF
running .OOO, ,OOO miles Ia y years and 2iJ
dsvs. " other engine IN the world has
run so many miles IN Ike p-rlod or

To Gross the Ocean In a CoekIesheII.

A novel experiment in ocean navlga-
ton is to be attempted by Nottingham
enthusiast who has been occupying him
self for year past with the construc-
ton of a boat in which he proposes to
cross the Atlantic during the summer.
The vessel, which is built of iron and Is
entirely of his own design and make, is
only 10 feet inches long, with 3 feet
beam and 2 feet inches depth, and i
thus the smallest crafc that has ever a
tempted such an adventurous voyage.
1t is what is known as ''whaleback
deck, and the cabin, lighted by glass
windows at the side, will be completely
water tight when closed, fresh air being
obtained by pipes.
Should the tiny craft be overturned
the inventor claims that it will automat-
icallv right itself. She will be fitted with
a 10 foot mast from the fore deck with
lib and mainsail, and additional motive
power wall be supplied by a geared hand
screw. The navigator intends to start
from Nottingham, sailing down the
Trent to Hull, and making for the At
lantic by way of the English channel.
He expects that the trip will occupy him
something over month.-London Tele'

The Minister Agreed.

During the war an Ohio minister was
on his way south as an emissary Of the
Christian commission, and he boarded
an Ohio river boat at Portsmouth. At
the first landing below, the mate turned
loose" at the deckhands. He cursed
their eyes, their hearts, their lubbery
feet, their laziness. their whole line Of
ancestry from Adam to that hour. Final
ly, exhausted with profanity, he turned
to the shocked minister with the query:
Don't this beat help
"Yes, sir, I'm afraid it does" And
the good man retired to his cabin. n.-Cleve-

MILITARY BRUTALITY.
The Poet Heigel and an Cid Man Cut Down
by Austrian Oaicers.


by Austrian Officers.
In Germany aud Austria every week
brings with it instances of military bru-
talitv toward civilians. Most of these
instances are forgotten after the publica-
tion of a few indignant paragraphs in
the Radical journals and Radical or So
cial Democratic Interpolation in parlia-
,rent. One that occurred at Riva, on
Lago di Garda, two weeks ago. however,
was so remarkable for such exceptional
brutality that it has had more serious
consequences.
Carl Heigel, the German poet, was sit
ting with Il friend at a table in the great
concert garden in Rlva. His friend was
e. years old and somewhat decrepit. At
the next table sat several officers of the
imperial chasseurs, who are garrisoned
at Riva. Heigels friend, who had been
wearied bya rather long walk, fell asleep,
and the officers began to poke fun at
him. They were so loud that they woke
the old man up. When he heard them
cracking jokes at his expense, he re-
marked to Heigel:
"Persons who make fun of an old man
can hardly be gentlemen, even if they do
wear uniforms"
Heigel nodded assent. All the officers
heard the remark and saw the nod One
of them sprang up, faced Heigel and
ordered MIN and the old man to leave
the garden. Heigel's answer was stun
ming open hand blow which sent the
officer reeling back on the table.
Then followed scene with features
painfully familiar to persons who have
lived in Germany or Austria. The Off
GERS drew their swords and started for
ward to run through the two unarmed
men. The old man fell at the first onset
but Heigel stood his ground, dealing
blows right and left until cut down.
Blood was flowing from three wounds
in his head and he lay half unconscious
A young lieutenant aimed a sword
blow at him, but the bandmaster, Bru-
nelli who had hastened from the plat
form. caught the sword with his baton
and pushed the lieutenant back. Sever
al other men gathered in front of Heigel
and his companion and threatened to

another blow should be struck. A crowd
invaded the garden, began jostling the
officers and demanded that they be dis
armed and punished then and there.
The police were obliged to interfere to
save the officers from violence, although
no policeman had found time to inter.
fere when Heigel and his companion
were beaten down.
Heigel has received calls daily in his
sickroom from all the most conspicuous
persons in Riva, excepting, of course, the
military. The city officials have called
upon him to apologize for the attack IN
the garden. Throughout the whole dis
trict round. RiYa. there was a unanimous
demand for the punishment of the Off
GERS concerned in the fight. A high rail
way official who was with them in the
garden was discharged. a lieutenant
colonel, who struck down Heigeps COM
panion, was called coward by cap
tain in his own regiment. In the duel
which followed both officers were wound
ed. The rest of the officers will be tried
by court martial.

wendell Phillips Power.

The writer heard Wendell Phillips
once on the nobility of the North Ameri-
can Indians, and while the spell of the
speech lasted he was almost ashamed Of
himself for being white instead of cop
,;er rolored. One secret of the power Of
Philips with an audience was that he
was always definite, certain in his state.
ments and position. If he had privately
doubts about a course or a policy, he
never exhibited them when on the plat.
form. He very well knew that there is
nothing an audience likes so little in a
speaker as indecision and beating about
the bush. There was no haziness in
what he said. His subject stood out be-
fore his hearers as clearly cut as a cameo.
