SHAKOPEE, Sept. IA highwa,
robbery, followed by what came
Within a hairs breadth of being a
murder, occurred near here this
evening. While Louis Scharf. a
farmer, was on his way home from
town, two masked men jumped into
his wagon, and. each holding a. re-
Volver to his head, robbed him of
what valuables he had on his person
All he had was a silver watch and
chain and $4.75 in cash. After Sc
curing these, the highwaymen
jumped from the wagon and took to
the brush. Scharf returned to town
and reported the matter to Sheriff
Peter Hilgers, who with his deputy
and the chief of police started in
pursuit. About 9 o'clock they
reached Merriam Junction, and, see
ing two suspicious looking fellows
boarding train, attempted to stop
them. They protested against being
arrested, and finally broke and ran,
and when pursued one of them
turned and fired, the bullet taking
effect in Sheriff Hilger's jaw, passing
around and lodging in the back of
his neck. The wound is serious,
though it is thought not to be fatal.
But had the bullet gone an inch
lower down it would have struck him
in the neck and probably killed him
instantly. A volley was sent after
the fugitives, but they did not stop
and made their escape in the bushes.
AS soon as the news of the shooting
reached Shakopee an armed posse
was secured and started in pursuit,
but nothing has been heard from
them at midnight. The highwaymen
are strangers here as far as can be
aScertained.

NEW YORK, May 6. 1S95.-"One of the
most important and at the same time least
noticed departments of electric science
is that which has to do with aquatics. !"
This statement is made by Thomas Com
merford Martin, author of Electrical
Boats and Navigation." Mr.. Martin has
considered the subject from all its stand
points. Hence he is competent to speak.
Thus beginning conversation with the
present reporter recently, Mr.. Martin con-
tinued:
81 think it can be said that we are in
the middle of swift evolution of electric
boat building. Thus far the greatest
advance in the electric boat building has
been made, suppose, in the line of the
launch. Its greatest exemplihcation was
witnessed at the Chicago Exposition,
where electric launches were the most pop
ular boats on the lagoon. Some of these
boats have since been shipped to Venice,
and there are now regular electric passen-
ger boats plying the Grand canal. John
Jacob Astor has several electric boats,
notably the cruising launch Progresso and
the smaller Cocyra. The Progresso is the
largest electric boat in America. She is 46
feet long, and can develop a speed of
twelve miles an hour. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Astor contemplates building a
still larger electric boat.
aside from pleasure boats, the greatest
use to which electric launches can be put
is as small boats for our men-of-war. The
lines OF Mr.. Astor's Cocyra were so sue
cessful that they were adopted by the

which will be done by means of the cur
rent Have you ever been on a ferry-boat
and experienced the agony of waiting
while the boatman tried to see how long he
could be winding the windlass? Every
body has. Now, by taking advantage of
the principles of magnetism, we may do
away with all this. 1t has been suggested
that a series of powerful electro magnets
be arranged on ferry-slip, so that a boat
having large pieces of iron affixed to the
bow will be strongly attracted. Or the
wharf itself could have the iron coping
placed upon it, and the magnets on the
boats receive their energy from the dyna-
mos i'll the regular lighting equipment. 1t
is feasible.
Speaking of ferry-boats reminds me that
these craft will now be worked by cleo
tricity. The single machine on board will
be motor connected to the propeller. The
electric current will be generated on shore
and transmitted to the motor on the boat
through cable dangling along under
water after the boat The cable will Just
reach across the river and is wound and
unwound by means of a spindle as the
boat goes backward and forward. There
are ferries worked by electricity obtained
from a cable stretched through the air I'M
der a bridge. The boat might be called
trolley-boat, as its action is identical, cleo
trically, with that of a trolley-car. Such a
device naturally brings US to that more
recent but much more important branch
of electrical aquatics. | refer to the electric
canal-boat. No other department has had
more discussion.
1.-THE vast influence of the canal from the
commercial view point makes general
Introduction of electricity on it an impor-
tant question. There are from 1900 to
5000 miles of canals in Europe. There
have been 446S miles of canals in the
United States. More than 1000 miles are
still in use. One canal-boat will carry as
much as ten to twenty freightcars, and
even allowing for the difference in time
consumed, the cost is very much less by
canal than by railroad. These figures are
