PURIFYING TEE. WATER
Board of Trade Inspect the
New Aluminium Plate
Process.

A few members of the Board of Trade
visited the b~ottling establishment of J.
D. Germans in Sackett street on Satur-
day afternoon to inspect the new alumni
mum electrolytical process of purifying
water. The inventor DR.. Lugo, was
present, and practically demonstrated
the working of the plant, a model OF
which is set up in the establishment.
1t consists of a raceway of wood q
feet by IS inches by 16 inches, with
tank at intervals of four inches. Every
alternate plate is connected with an cleo
trio wire.
The water from the hydrant enters
the raceway, passes through it and is
drawn off at the other end. An electric
current is passed through the water
continually, and the liquid comes out, it
is claimed, chemically pure. What takes
place, is explained as follows:-
THE PROCESS OF PURIFYING.
through aluminium electrodes immersed
in the water to be treated. The electro
chemical action which takes place may
be stated thus
solved into their elements of oxygen and
hydrogen. The oxygen, liberated at the
annode or positive pole in its nascent or
active state, attacks the metal alumni
lldhlht ~ Oil SOAAiPO0i1o
known as ~oxyhydrate of aluminium. This
oxide has the property of coagulating
the animal or focal matters present in
the water, acting as a mordan thereon,
it an insoluble coagu4um or faky mass
which at once rises to the surface of
the water, from which 1t can be re-
moved by filtration or Swimming.
Second-Simultaneously with the pro-
duction of the aluminium oxyhydrate,
free acting oxygen is also evolved al
the positive pole, which gas is dissolved
In the water and Immediately attacks
the vegetable matters present, thorough
ly burning up or oxidizing them, produc-
Third-Simultaneously with the other
electro-chemical action, if there should
be present soluble salts of lime, iron
or other salts, these are decomposed Oh
posted upon the negative electrode, and
others, such as those of the alkaline
earths, after decomposition, unite with
aluminium to form insoluble salts. AL
of these metals thus set free by the
chemical action of the electric current
assume an insoluble state, either free
or in other compounds, so that they
rise to the surface In conjunction with
the animal matter, and are removed as
are other impurities by skimming, de.
cartation or filtration.
CHEAP COST TO THE CITY.
The inventor claims that the mode,
set up, which purifies 300 gallons within
one hour, may be enlarged to suit 9
which will purify 500. 00O,O 600 gallons OF
water per diem at a very trifiing cost.
Innumerable questions were put by the
visitors, who seemed to be much inter
ested with the process. In the bottline
establishment there is a plant which
purifies 5000 gallons at the total cost o.
Is cents. For a larger quantity the
price would diminish.

The Congress ional Outlook.

By figuring from the Assembly vote
of last year. the Republicans of this
State nave been swelling themselves up
with the idea that they are going to
carry six or seven Congressional dis
tricts in the coming contest. There is,
of course, not the slightest ground for
such an expectation. If the districts
remained the same as they were in 1892,
they would carry just two of them as
they did in that year. Through the
shameless and probably illegal gerry
mander effected by the Brigand Legis-
latureas of this year they have gained
some advantage. But even yet a refer
ence to the Congressional returns OF
1892 shows tina four and probably five
Of the districts are practically certain to
elect Democrats.
Thus, tho Seventh district, our home

ception of the money. Lyons rick mother
was lying on one of the blankets that was
stained with the blood Of the murdered In
dians.
After the arrest the prisoners were taken
to Napoleon and confined in the old log Jail.
They were indicted for murder at the follow
ing term of court, but two days before the
time set for triol they succeeded in breaking
jail and making their escape.
About four months afterwards the friends
Of Anderson proposed to Wm. Sheffield, the
prosecuting attorney, that If he would ull
the indictment against him they would per-
suade him to return and give evidence that
would convict both Lyon and Ellsworth of
the murders. The desire to convict Els
worth was so strong that the prosecutor con-
sented. About a month afterward Anderson
appeared and gave the horrible details of the
murders as We have related them.
At the conclusion of the testimony the
prosecutor ordered the sheriff to hold him
in custody until court should convene; at
the same time he assured Anderson that as
soon as his testimony was given in court he
should be released from further prosecution.
He was, accordingly, confined a second time
in the old log Jail from which he and Lyon
bad lately escaped by burn ing hole through
the wall. Arrangements were made for
boarding Anderson at the hotel near the
river. BroVneil called at the jail regularly,
three times day, and conducted him to his
meals. At the end of the first month of his
confinement. as he was goi-g to his supper,
he broke away from the sheriff. plunged into
the river and swan to the opposite shore,
where be disappeared in the dark forest.
NothiLg was ever heard of the criminals af-
terward.
In speaking of this case Col. Johnston says
that in period of fifty-three years, since
he first came to the west, he never knew of
but one instance in which white man was
tried and convicted and executed for the
murder of an Indian.

STOLEN BY GYpSIES.
Thrilling, Experience Of a Grand Rapids
Girl.
Carried Away From Her Home and

Found Yesterday by Her

Owosso, MICH. August 10 Eighteen years
ago Jennie Finch, a girl Of ten, was stolen
from her home in Grand Rapids by band
of Gypsies, and after fruiteless search she
was mourned as dead! Her mother died and
the family scattered, her brother and her
sister moving here.
She discovered her relatives here yester-
day, and relates some thrilling experiences.
The leader OF the Gypsies who stole her was
BARLEY German who was afterwards hung
for killing his wife. He once gave the girl
kick which nearly caused her death. While
she was in critical condition from the
wound, the Gyrsy applied the lash. Her
screams were heard by an officer who liberat-
ed her.
She was taken to the hospital at Quincy,
ILL.,, to New York, and to Cincinnati, but she
has never fully recovered her injury. Seven
years ago she left the hospital, and afterward
married mason named D'Kole. They now
live in CincinnatI. Last week she visited
Grand Rapids in search of her relatives,
whom she feared were all dead. When she
found her brother and sister yesterday it was
q most happy reunion.
