OVER NIAGARA FALLS.
A BILL TO AUTHORIZE AN ELECTRIC
CAR LINE OVER THE FALLS.
It Will GO on Suspended Wires
Forming the Cord of an
Arc to the Horse Shoe
Fall.

LOCKPORT. y. Y, March l2.-Attorney
George w. Pound, one Of the directors OF
the aerial tramway company, has sent to
Albany bill authorizing his company to
erect a tower aud landing place in the
state reservation park for the use OF a
scheme which will be one of the engineer
ing triumphS of the age. A similar one
has been obtained with reference TO
Queen Victoria Park from the Canadian
Government Leading Canadian poll
ticians are interested in the enterprise.
The company proposes to carry tourists
across the Niagara river, over the brink
of the cataract thirty feet above the
raging waters. A double set of cables
will be stretched from the towers in the
Canadian and American parks with a
supporting tower on Goat Island. These
cage.like cars will suspended by trOllieS
and operated by electricity. The aerial
line will follow along the brink OF the
America falls to Goat Island and thence
to the Canadian shore, forming cord to
the bow of the horse shoe falls The
cars will be of steel and the cables the
best manufactured.
The floors of the cars will be perforated
to allow visitors to look below and the
side views will be unObStructed.
If the bill just sent to the New York
legislature becomes a law. expert engin-
GERS will be engaged TO Superintend
the construction. Each cable will be in
dependent of the other and sufficient to
sustain ten times the weight of the cars
and passengers. The electrical engineer
will be able TO stop aud start the car any
where on the line. The bill has powerful
friends in the legislature and it is said
New York will probably follow Canada
in giving requisite grants.

Wlgglns On the Eclipse.

OTTAWA, Ont. March l2.-Prof Stone
Virgins speaking of the eclipse of the
moon said it was not remarkable except
for the fact that it passed so near the
celestial equator. This added would pro-
duce violent atmospheric disturbances on
both sides of the earth and the moon and
a very decided fall of temperature on
them In all probability the event will
be followed by earthquakes shocks on
both hemis phereS. The moon he said,
passed Squarely over the nth shadow,
which was Of dark brown color and dis
tinctly visible during the eclipse. If it
has no atmosphere to distribute the color
rays. as there is no light in space, it
would have been as black as ink.

JUSTICE IN MEXICO.
Which the sonora stage Rob.
bers were Dealt With.

Tucson, July 16.-James A. Crowley
one of the Americans held up in the re-
cent robbery of the Nasacari stage in
Sonora, Mexico, arrived here to-day. Mr..
Crowley says that he and Edward Wood
ruff, paymaster of the Nasacari Mining
company, who was returning from Ell
Paso with money to pay the miners, and
Mexican named Moreno, driver of the
stage, were ambushed by three men on
the road near Cochuta. Crowley was
forced into the bush and robbed and
Woodruff escaped to neighboring ranch.
The robbers, however, secured Woodruff's
valise containing $4,000 in Mexican
money and $4,000 in American gold. The
driver, who whipped up the team and
tried to escape WAS shot dead. The rob-
berry was reported to the authorities, and in
twelve days, by direction of the governor
of Sonora, the president of Fronteras,
found to be implicated in the robbery,
was placed under arrest This was fol-
lowed shortly afterward by the arrest of
Tribolet, his foreman, and two other en-
ployes. The next morning they were
taken by Major Moldere, one of the
police, about six miles in the direction
of the scene of the robbery and shot by
the roadside. Fifteen hundred dollars of
the stolen money was found in the house
of Tribolet. The man who robbed Crow
ley in the bush escaped, but was sub
sequently captured and executed in the
presence of the whole town of Oposure,
who turned out to see him shot. The
authorities are said to have the names of
about forty men, more or less implicated
in the robbery, who are scattered all over
the country to avoid arrest.

Indianapolis, July 16.-The Journal to-

ment that the Pietsel boy, brother oi
Alice and Nellie Pietsel, whose dead
bodies are supposed to have been un-
earthed at Toronto, yesterday, was beyond
doubt murdered in this city, October 6,
presumably by H. H. Holmes, the insur-
ance swindler, now in custody at Phila-
delphia. 1t has developed that certain

Holmes, called at the Old Circle house on
that date and removed, through the rear
door, large trunk which is believed to
have contained the boys remains. The
driver has identified the picture of Holmes
as the man who employed him. The
three Pietsel children were in this city
for some time. Detective Frank Geyer,
of Philadelphia, who he's been working
on the case, says that the web is being
woven around Holmes and that he would
beyond doubt be found to be the mur-
derer of the Pietsel children.

The hail storm on Thursday, in Cherry

it. In the orchards, not only was the
fruit knocked off, but the bark is hang

of the trees. Shingles were split on the

glass was broken in every direction.

FOR AND AGAINST SILVER.
Opening of the Great Talking Match
Between HOrr and Harvey.
Illinois Club Rooms in Chicago Will
Be the Coinage Storm Center
for Ten Days.

Chicago, July 16.-No such a "big
talk" has ever been planned before, it is
claimed, as the ten days 60 as you please
talking match between the chosen re-
presentatives of the opposing sides on
the money question, Roswell G. Horr and
William H. Harvey, which opened to-day.
1t was about O'Clock when the witty
ex-congressman from Michigan, now a
resident of New York, and the sharp
Colorado newspaper man, now resident
of Chicago, signifed to the judges and
the select audience, present by invitation
at the Illinois club on Ashland avenue,
that all was in readiness for the success
sive 1000 word broadsides that, with
three minutes rest, were to 90 three
hours day for ten successive days. The
judges were an ex-solicitor general of
the United States, Charles H. Aldrich, and
Hon. Henry Miller.
Mr.. Horr spoke frst. He said that
there was hardly proposition in Coins
Financial School to which he could as
sent. He would attempt to prove that
the theory therein set forth, if adopted
by the people of this country, would lead
only to financial ruin. Until an interna-
tional agreement was established, it
would be simply suicide for this nation
to adopt system of free silver coinage
upon the old ratio. He believed that the
act of 1873, which Harvey's book de-
nounces as crime, was honestly con-
ceived and openly passed. What the peo-
pie needed was good credit, good money,
good principles and sound business
sense.
Mr.. Harvey, in his opening statement,
named the propositions set forth in
Coins Financial School which he ex-
pected to make good in this debate, the
chief of which is that it is to the interest
of the United States to act Independently
in the reconciliation of silver at 16 to /.
