A NEW TEA KETTLE.
1t Is fade OF Silver and Heated by
Electrlcftv.

A firm of London silversmiths has pro-
duced an electric tea kettle, which is
said to have considerable vogue in Lon
don drawing rooms. 1t is only necessary
to attach the cord in which the electric
wires are inclosed to any connection
which may be fitted up in a room for
lighting purposes and the apparatus is
in working order in moment.
The kettle, which is a very shapely
and agreeable production is made in
such a way that when it is filled with
water and placed upon stand in which
is the electric lamp it can be tilted up
and the water poured from it without the
necessity of removing 1t from the stand,
and by this means the risk of scalding
the hands or of spilling. the. water is
avoided The lamps with which these
kettles are fitted are Of varying power,
ranging from eight to fifty candle power,
the most useful size which is generally
recommended for ordinary purposes, be-
ing a sixteen -candle power. This size
IS very serviceable and economical in
usage, and capable of affording all the
heat which is required under ordinary
circumstances.
A lamp of this strength is amply suf-
ficcient to keep boiling water hot as long
as may be necessary, while one of fifty
candle power will boil a pint of quite
cold water in twelve minutes, while to
go to the other extreme, one or even
eight-candle power will suffice to keep
water hot.

BATTLEsHIP COMBAT.
The New Vessels Likely to Pass the
Senate by a Good Majority.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S, 1885, The
friends of the new battleships, provided
for in the Naval bill as it passed the
House, have lined up their forces and
got ready for the fight that is to be made
on this decrease in the navy when the
bill come up in the Senate. The fight
is said to be under the leadership of Mr..
German who will endeavor to have one
of the batleships and possibly two cut
out and and a fast cruiser or two sub
stituted. The Naval bill is still in the
hands of the Senate Committee on APP
preparation, and while it's friends claim
that that committee will report the bill
with the appropriation as 1t passed the
House. still they are ready to antagontze
the appropriations Committee should it
not do so. This would not be the first
time this session that the Judgment of
the Committee on Appropriations was
rejected by the Senate.
The battleshipS provided for in the
to o0us1 Garry W the h he heaviest armor % and and the
most powerful ordnance upon a diSplace-
ment of about ten thousand tons and to
sels of their class. There are also Il
torpedo boats authorized at an average
cost of little less than 100000: the. bat
tleShfps not to exceed-exclusive of ar
mament-four million dollars each. The
bill was considered by the Naval Com
mittee of the Senate at its last meeting,
and by unanimous vote the committee
endorsed the proposed increase of the
navy. This brings into the Senate as
champions of the bill. Senators McPher-
son, Butler. Blackburn. Gibson and Cam
den, Democrats, and Cameron, Hale,
Perkins and Mcmillan. Republicans.
A careful poll of the Senate has been
taken and it is claimed that the construc-
ton of the battleships will prevail by q
neat majority. There are indications
however, of a serious effort to reduce the
number to two. and supplant one Of the
battleships by a small cruiser. Several
of the leading Democrats of the Senate
will antagonize the building of three
warships with an enta.lment4 upon the
government of an obligation aggregating
upwards of twenty-five millions of dol
iars while the Treasury is In Its pres
ent depleted condition.
It is understood that Mr.. Chandler.
under whose administration of the Navy
Department the new navy was begun.
will oppose the House bill to the extent
of cutting the number of battlesIips
down to two. for the reason that he be-
lieves we have a sufficient number of
battleships for the present and that the
establishment is more in need of fast

THE CUBAN Rising.
Numerous Young Men Made
Military Prisoners = Be-
trayed by Maleontents.

NEW YORK. Feb. 28, 1S95.-The Ward
line steamer Orizaba. which arrived this
morning, at 1890 A. NJ, from Mexican
ports and Havana, brings the first de-
tails of the reported uprising in Cuba.
The Orizaba reached Havana at about
eight o'clock on last Sunday morning
and left again at 1920, consequently the
officers and through passengers did not
have opportunity to gather definite par
ticulars as to the extent of the insurrec-
tion. 1t was learned, however, that on
the morning of Sunday, 24th inst, the
rebel, General Julio Sanguili, was arrest
ed, together with about thirty members
of the first families of Havana, and was
imprisoned in the Cabanas, or military
prison.
Most of the prisoners Were quite young
men. 1t was also reported that about
800 other arrests had been made of those
suspected of entertaining revolutionary
ideas. The whole Island of Cuba was
at once placed under martial law. In
the opinion of Purser K. NJ Baportas,
of the Orizaba. the names and
plans of the revolutionists had been
betrayed to the representatives
of the Government in consequence of very
strong dissensionEs among the. rebels
themselves. The bone of contention was
the rebel forces. the Insurgents in the
northern portion of the island demand
ing that Manuel Garcia. the notorious
those living in the south insisted that
the selection of a brigand and felon, on
whose head a price had been placed,
would mean the loss of the sympathy
and support of all abiding citizens;
There was no reliable news to be
learned while the Orizaba was at Ha-
Sc cff ,,~c
in the interior of the island. 1t seemed
ITO be the impression of all those inter
viewed that the insurgents would be
of the Government.
The Orizaba had as passengers from
Vera Cruz to- Teculalta, Mexico, Sig
Romero Rubio, the Mexican Secretary
of State General Martinez and twelve
others. The purpose of the visit tc
Tecululta, which is a town hetwe en-
Vera Cruz and Tuxpan, was said to be
to enjoy the splendid fishing at Tecolulta

why Jacob Urban Is Suing MackerJ
Padla for 800.

The way Poles do when they become
imbued with the American idea of max
ing money was disclosed in the First
District Court before Justice Puster to-
day. The story goes back to 1883. Then
Makery Padla discovered that he was
foolish to work hard for money. He
decided to conduct matrimonial agency.
He experimental with his sister Maria.
She was pretty girl, and, according
to Makery, would make a good wife for
any sober, Industrious man.
In some way Makery learned that
Jacob Urban, well-to-do Pole of De-
troit, was looking for g wife. He de-
cided to marry off Maria, whether she
liked it or not. Without consulting her
wishes, he communicated with Urban.
SO that the latter came East to see his
promised bride and close the bargain.
When Urban arrived Maria was in
formed of the contemplated marriage.
She kicked, but at the earnest solicita-
ton of her brother to shut up" she
did So Urban admired Maria and when
Makery Padla decided that they should
each put up 800, which was to be for
feited IN case either failed to carry out
the terms of the agreement, Urban pro-
duced three $40 gold pieces and two $40
bills. Maria was furnished with a 500
bill, which she made believe to put up.
A dispute then arose as to who should
be stakeholder. After considerable coax
ing Makery was induced to guard the
5000.
a few weeks prior to the day set for
the marriage, Maria packed up her be-
longings, returned to Poland and married
a. man Of her own choice. Makery. re-
alizing that Urban would make trouble,
also prepared to decamp. He was ar
rested on a capias by Constable Bar
rett as he was boarding the steamer to
sail away.
Urban is now foreman in the Sugar
House, and through ex-Judge Seymour
he is now suing for the $100 deposited
with Makery Padla as an evidence of
good faith.
Justice Puster reserved his decision.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass. Feb. 2s. 1856
A discovery that promises to result in
one of the biggest lawsuits ever known

private residences. is occupied by the
Highland Street Baptist and Florence
Street Churches. The land has passed
through many hands and the banks have
loaned money to some of the present
holders.
The claim of Mrs. Moulton is that the
property was originally owned by her
uncle, Edward Wood. Who in 1841 sold
it to her father. Frederick F. Allen. The
deed descended to her mother and from
her mother it came to Mrs. Maniton.
She obtained possession of it in 1852, but

IS MORTON WITH PLATT 2

ALBANY, Feb. 2S, 1Ss5.-Governor Nor
ton today sent to the Legislature his
veto of the bill appropr.ating $4,000 for
the construction of an armory at Ogdens-
burg, St. Lawrence county.
Although the veto is attributed to the
necessity for economy, it is pretty gen.
orally accepted as direct slap at the
anti-Platt men in the Legislature, and
is regarded by them as notice that
until they come into line they will not
be entitled to any show in the distribu-
ton of State funds.
Ex-Speaker Malby who introduced the
bill appropriating the 0000 for the ar
mory, has been conspicuous of late for
his friendliness to- other anti-Platt lead
ers, and he participated in the anti
Platt conference held in New York last
week.
It was this fact that is supposed to
have led to the veto of his bill.
