DULUTH MANS CLAIM.
w. II. LoWd Says He First Discov-
cred the Telegraphic Pic
ture Method.

Duluth, Mimi, April 19-W. H. Loud
of this city, train dispatcher of the North
ern Pacific, received an unpleasant shock
yesterday when he read a dispatch from
San Francisco saying that a picture had
been successfully telegraphed from Los
Angeles to the San Francisco Call and re-
produced by that paper.
; The man who was heralded as the in
ventor is Charles Wil!oughby. Willough-
by may have invented the method, but he
is behind the times, the Duluth man hav
ing invented the same thing and pro-
cured a copyright on it some months ago.
But the San Francisco mans system is
not as well perfected as that of Lowd,
the latter's containing all the points Of
Willoughbys and others that are highly
important in that they reduce the amount
of telegraphing. Among them is cipher
code.
Lowd has gone to considerable expense
in having his rights protected and his
scheme perfected and intends to turn his
invention to some profit to himself He
has therefore sent word to Willoughby in
forming him of his copyright and telling
him that he must desist from further use
of the system. otherwise he will take
legal steps to secure satisfaction.

Fort Worth. Tex. April 22.-All Of
Texas has needed rain, SO the great evan
gelist, Dwight Moody, called upon his
audience of 5000 Christians to pray fer
vently that the foodgates might be
opened. This was at p. M, Sunday
at night when the tabernacle was crowd

surrounding cities. Mr.. Moody an
nounced that word had come from several
points that rain had fallen. A few min,
utes later the storm burst on Fort Worth
and torrents of rain fell. Then Mr..
Moody gave thanks to God and called
upon the congregation to join in singing
"CoroEation" and "All Hail the Power of
Jesus Name" the song had surged forth
from 10000 voices, when q cracking
nose was heard and then the roof sank
and the raftcrs gave way, and the heavy
timbers and boards covered with tar and
gravel came down on a portion of the
congregat ton.
There was panic. Scores upon scores

heads and piled pell-mell over those neal

and, moving to the middle of the platform,

Washington, D. c., April 20.-News has
been received to the effect that the French
authorities in Madagascar have put ex>
United States Consul Waller aboard q
steamer and sent him under guard to
France. He is under sentence of twenty
years Imprisonment on a charge OF being
a spy in the interest of the Hovas in
Madagascar, against whom the French
have been waging war, which sentence
was imposted by a court-martial. While
this action on the part of the French
government will only add to the amount
of indemnity it will be, called upon to
pay should Mr.. Walters friends show
that the charge upon which he was sem

SAW THE CHICORA SINK.
A Michigan Farmer Who was Afraid
to Tell What He Saw on
the Fatal Day.

A party who claims to have seen the
steamer Chicora sink has turned up at
this late day. His name is William
Hare and he lives near the shore of the
lake half way between South Haven and
Saugatuck. He told his story to the Ora
ham & Morton management at Benton
Harbor Friday When seen by reporters
afterward he said:
What I have told to the Graham people
should have been told three months ago;
I can hardly understand why / kept still
when my information would have been of
the utmost value. l could not wait longer,
however, when was told that other parties
were trying to extort money from the COM
pany. / guess there is one man who has a
pretty good idea where the wreck is.

When about half way between the two

drifting There was hull in the storm
and my view was unobstructed. 1t was
the Chicora, l am sure. She had high decks
water. Her stern was down and looked to
be sinking. There were no spars and I
saw no signs of life, nor heard distress sig
nails
After watching the wreck some fifteen min
utes the snow shut down and went on
home. I thought that another vessel had

the three miles to my home when l con-
Guided to go back again. The thing worried
me. When I reached the spot where / had

was going down The ice was breaking the
upper works. This was all l could see for
the snow. I waited there until 1 nearly
frOze, and then went home.
1t was nearly a week before l heard of
the missing Chicora. I was ashamed at
that late day to say I had seen the boat
sink. The longer | kept still the harder it
was for me to talk. for l was afraid of
public censure Now, when it is too late,

Mr. Hares story corroborates that Of
Plummer, who has maintained all the
while that he saw a steamer Tuesday
afternoon. January %, off shore in the
storm. There were no spars to be seen
and the craft seemed to be disabled.
Plummer says she was apparently out
in the lake about four miles from where
he stood. He was looking in diagonal
line to the northwest. Drawing a line
from his range of vision it would inter-
cept Hare's range of vision at a spot
about one and a half miles from shore
The depth of water where the hull is sup
posed to rest is sixty feet.

NO REHEARING.
Believed that the Supreme court
will Not Reopen the Income
Tax Case.

Washington, D. c., April 20.-The gen
eral expectation is that the Supreme court
will not postpone its decision Monday on
the application of Messrs. Hyde and Fol
lock for a rehearing on the income tax
cases. This opinion is expressed by those
who are very near to some .of the MEM
bers of the court If there should be
written opinion it would necessarily De
brief. and the chances are the DECISION
will be a bare announcement. In case the
decision is adverse to the petitioners the
announcement will be made through the
clerk of the court and not from the bench.
The general opinion of the attorneys
who are most familiar with the pracllces
of the court is that the motion VIII not DE
granted. They base their belief upon va
rious grounds.
In the first place it is understood that
there is no desire on the part OF the
sitting members of the court to Dring
Justice Jasckson to Washington to SIT III
the case, and without his presence the
case could not be tried a second tune at
the present session. To grant rehearinS
and postpone it until next term would,
they say, leave the law in a more unsatls-
factory condition than it now is and would
fail to accomplish any desirable result;
Furthermore, it is understood that the
court has an aversion to granting re-
hearings and it has in the past shown
disposition to resent efforts to secure
them. Still there have been many cases
in which such petitions have been tavora-
bly, acted upon notwithstanding the preJu-
dice against them, and there is posslblll-
ty of the courts Overrrullng itself TO the
extent of granting the motion.

FIVE NEGROES LYNCHED.

Murder of Watts Murphy at

Montgomery, Ala, April 22.-Saturday
night news reached Greenville of the
brutal murder near Butler, in that coun-
ty, of Watts Murphy, young white
man, by the negroes. Murphy was a
well-known young farmer being neph-
ew of the late Gov. Watts of this city.
After numbering him the negroes placed
his body on a brush heap and burned

Another negro man, who was also i'm
plicated, made his escape.
A posse which had charge of the five
prisoners left there about II o'clock at
night to bring them to jail here for safe
keeping. The route. was a lonely one
and the trip was necessarily slow. About
3 o'clock in the morning, at a lonely part
of the road, the party was suddenly sur
rounded by an armed body Of men who
seemed to spring from both sides of the
road.
The posse was covered with Winches-
tiers, and under pain of instant death
was halted. Reports say that there were
about 100 men in the attacking party,
al heavily armed and all cool and brave.
They made short work of it. Taking
the five negroes they tied their hands
and then the prisoners were taken one at
a time and were hung to limbs of trees.
The bodies were found hanging there
by churchgoers.
