has been allowed to William Britton,
of Boone, for diaphragm for locomo-
tive boilers, simple and durable

hues. Two of the five claims allowed

examiners-in-chief. Five United States

Warning Concerning Condition of Epinal
Reservoir Had Been Given.
Paris, April 30.-The Epinal reservoir.
the bursting of which caused the de-
struction of over s10,000,000 worth of
property and the loss of more than 100
lives, had a superficial area of 100000
square feet. In 1884 a large assure in the
main dam developed. This was filled
with cement and oak beams.
In 1885 the feed canal burst above
Bouzey and carried away length OF
sixty feet. Several houses were de-
were lost Some time before this an in
spector of roads and bridges announced
that the condition of the dam was dam
gerous and notified the people of Bou-
zey to watch for a possible disaster
In 1892 there was a second accident TO
the wall near Epinal During two years
the wall of the dam, which should have
extent of about three feet. The CHIEF
engineer of roads and bridges who di-
rected the building of the dam, had
great difficulty with his colleagues in
order to carry out his plan of straight
dam instead of a curved one.
This shape of the dam is now given
as the cause of the accident, but there
is a possibility that the disaster was
caused by the illness for fifteen days Of
the inspector who was charged with the
supervision of the dam.

Schweinfurth Summoned Before thu
Grand Jury at Rockford.
Rockford, ILL.,, April 26.-The time of
the grand jury was occupied yesterday
in investigating charges against
Schweinfurth. The bogus Messiah did
not come to town in his luxurious car
riage drawn by a prancing team, but
appeared in an old wagon drawn by a
dilapidated gray horse. A common
looking sack coat replaced the immacu-
late cutaway, and common, substantial
boots superseded the habitual patent
feathers. William H. Hill, the Chicago
attorney who represented George w.
Coudreys case and secured a judgment
Of $4,000 for him against Sshweinfurth,
came out from Chicago bringing with
him DR.. A. M. Smith and George w.
Ostrander, two important witnesses,
who had story Of the life at the We'll
don Farm. Both have lived at the
place. DR.. Smith was the family ply
stefan for a long time. Ostrander,
through Attorney Hill, secured 81, 600 in
cash out of Schweinfurth year or so
ago in settlement of a suit to recover
property-more than he asked for. Both
testified in the Coudrey case, and it is
believed their evidence alone before the
grand jury will be so damaging it can
not fail to find an indictment
