RULER OF AN ISLAND.
Father Gallagher. Potentate Of Beaver
| Island. About to Retire.

Father Gallagher. Potcntate Of Beaver
Island. About to Retire.
Reverend Father Gallagher. who has
been a religious and political ruler Of
Beaver Island for score and half OF
years. has been spending few days
in Petoskey. and while there conhded
to few friends that he Is about to re-
sign from his charge and the PRIEST
hood, and live at his ease for the bal
ance Of his days, says the Detriot Jour-
nal. Thirty years ago, the 9th OF the
present month, Father Gallagher. who
had Just been ordained, landed in COM
pany with another young priest on the
island. After looking the ground over
and noticing the poverty OF the ground
and people the young priest decided to
take the first boat back to the main
land and report to the bishop Of Mar
quette that the island would not sup
port regular pastor. His companion
told him that such action would ap-
pear disobedient, and advised Father
Gallagher to remain and acquaint the
bishop with the condition Of things by
mail. The advice was taken and Father
Gallagher has been there ever since.
He says 1t was pretty hard to make
bare living at first, as the natives were
all poor. without more than enough to
keep body and soul together. After a
few years a friend died and left him
some property, which turned into cash
gave him little capital to work with.
BY frugal living the priest began to
gather little money, which he loaned
at fair interest, and some was paid, and
some never will be. He loaned to this
poor with an unstinted hand, and some
never made an effort to repay. One
Of his debtors excused his laxity by
saying that he did not think the priest
wanted money very bad, because he
did not look as though he had gone to
bed missing many suppers." Anyone
who had ever seen the girth of his rev.
erence would say that the debtor was
entitled to receipt In full II that
would wipe cut debt. Father Gala
CHER says that in spite of all he has
gathered little money and will now
try to straighten out his affairs so that
he can resign his office and rest. He
intends to visit California and then
make a trip to the home Of his ances-
tors in Ireland. After that he will re-
turn to the island. buy little farm,
and die where he has spent the best
years Of his life. He says that his sue
cessor will find the path pretty well
blazed. and will find in pastorate on
Beaver Islands a very different con-
dition from that which prevailed when
Father Gallagher first touched the
island on August 9, 1865.

that the colonel will be Lanes leading
counsel. Lane will put up plea of
self-defense, claiming that he never
drew his revolver until after young
Rodenbaugh had reached for his own
weapon. He will plead that he thought
the elder Rodenbaugh was also going
to attack him when he fired on him.
Lane was seen in jail shortly after
the shooting and said: IT shot the old
man because I thought he was going
to kill me. While I was shooting the
boy came in. got pistol. and began
shooting at me and I had to shoot him
or be killed" The barkeeper of the no.
tel testihes that Lane shot the elder
Rodenbaugh first, firing three or four
shots, and that while he was shooting
the crippled boy went behind the coun-
ter, got his pistol and tried to defend
his father. There is great excitement
over what the residents consider an
unprovoked murder. Several of Lanes
friends at Lexington when they first
heard Of the tragedy decided to go to
Versailles and assist him In every way.
but on learning that he was undoubted-
ly the aggressor they decided to remain
away. A lynching may furnish the
climax.

Michigan Man Thinks Ho Has More Than
Solved the Probiam.
A. @. Mott, of Plymouth, Michigan,

machinery concerns, has studied per-
petual motion for several years, and,
according to the verdict Of expert ma
chinists, has succeeded. His machine
not only runs itself to some extentB. .bd
not only runs itself but develops power
to some extent The machine consists
Of shaft, upon which is a balance
wheel. Connected with one end of the
shaft by hinged joints are two frames,
carrying arms, which radiate nearly to
the circumference of the balance wheel
The ends of these frames form the
arms, and are slotted where they pass
the shaft, and to each set Of arm are
attached, by elbow joints, the ball
weights which furnish the motive pow-
er. Each ball as 1t reaches the top of
the circle Is thrown to the extreme
limit Of Its reach, the one opposite be-
Ing drawn by the same mechanical de-
vice closer to the shaft. This is done
by the sliding of the frame of the shaft
from which rigid connections extend to
the weight arms, the movement
STRENGTHENING the upper and bending
the lower elbow joints. The two
frames being at right angles, providing
four weights, there Is no time when
such n thing as a dead center can ex-
ist, and as soon as the balance wheel,
which is kept locked by n brake, is re-
leased, the machine starts, gaining
speed to a point where the centrifugal
force overcomes the force of gravity,
the weights counterbalance and the
frames cease to fall. From this point
there is an increase Of speed. A gov
ernor has been attached to the model
to regulate the speed. Mr.. Mott has
been offered $1,500 for single state
rights for exhibition purposes.

MARRIED ON THE STAGE.
An Unusual Scene Enacted in = Sal
Francisco Variety Thcnter.

An Unusual Scene Enacted in . San
Francisco Variety Thcnter.
On a recent morning the habitues Of
the Palace Varieties at San Francisco
were considerably astonished by the
announcement that a marriage cere-
mony was to be made a part of the
evening performance; in fact, a couple
were to be regularly united in the pres
ence of the audience. The idea that
any minister of the gospel would lend
his presence to such an occasion was
generally secuted. A reporter, how
ever, called at the place just before the
evening performance. and learned that
the marriage was bona fide' and that
the principals were Miss Winnie Flor
ence of the variety profession, and
Norris Welch. a promising clog dancer
connected with the establishment. The
wedding was announced to take p1ace
at 10 o'clock. At that hour the dulcet
notes of the stage bell caused rush
from the bar for front seats, and the
orchestra. The stage represented a
drawing-room scene. In which the
bridal party, with the full strength OF
the company in the rear, made their
appearance. The bride was dressed in
white silk, with the usual veil and
orange blossoms; the bridesmaids also
In white. The bridegroom was decked
in kids, white vest, and claw-hammer
coat. The members of the company
appeared in their regular stage COS
tunes. The walter girls lowered next
the wings. dressed in tights and short
dresses, and altogether the appearance
of the bridal party fianked by negro
minstrels. jugglers and eccentric Dutch
men and ballet dancers, was something
novel. Amid a hush, in which ona
might have heard a pin drop. the
clergyman of the Chinese Mission
stepped forward. and with the stage
scene Illuminated by the glare Of red
fire, and accompanied by strains OF
the wedding march from the band, he
performed the ceremony in about three
minutes. The most impressive silence
prevailed while the benediction wat
pronounced. and even when the curtain
fell the crowd seemed niggardly in theil
applause; but few minutes after
when the bride appeared in a private
box, their pent-up enthusiasm fount
vent In tumultuous demonstrations ant
continuous calls for a song. The bride
was Immediately led before the curtain
and rendered a popular ditty, while tn,
rude revelers in the body of the hous'
yelled in a manner which made tn,
building vibrate. Mr.. welch, the new
ly welded husband, was then called
out, and performed clog dance will

A Curious AmIction.

A citizen Of Traverse City, Mich, is
afflicted with an odd and embarrassing
physical popularity. At irregular in
tervals he falls into trance-like state,
which continues for uncertain periods
and from which 1t is impossible to
arouse him. The longest spell of tho
kind lasted ninety-four hours. While
in this comatose condition he is to all
appearances lifeless, although usually
he is entirely conscious of everything
going on about him. The doctors have
been unable to help him, and while his
friends know Of his liability to the at
tacks, he naturally feels some nervous
ness about stirring far from home.

ONE HUNDRED MILES AN HOUR
tnvention to Double tho Present Speed oi
Locomotives.

Invention to Double tho Present Speed of
Locomotives.
st. Louis Post-Dispatch: There is
now being built at the Baldwin Loco
motive Works In Philadelphia an or
dinnry locomotive with driving wheels
Of five feet diameter, which, 1t is said,
Will as soon as completed, in about
four weeks, draw train of cars from
Philadelphia to New York In one hour,
or just about half the time now re-
quired. The Baldwifis have nothing to
say. They are simply building it for
Mr.. T. w. Holmes of Minneapolis, an
Inventor, who has designed machine
which, 1t is expected, will completely
reorganize railroading. The locomo-
tive is not to be set on the rails as en-
glnes generally are. 1t Is to be placed
on what are known rs the Holman
frictiOn-geared trucks, which will raise
1t thirty inches.
1t will be just like any engine ex-
cept that each of its driving wheels
will rest on and between two smaller
wheels, which in turn will rest on and
between three other wheels that finally
rest on the rails. The instant the driv-
ers Of the locomotive begin to turn they
necessarily through friction give an op-
pOSite rotary motion to the small
wheels, and they just as necessarily
give forward rotary motion to the
small wheels on which they rest. The
natural and inevitable result is that one
revolution of the locomotives driving
wheels by this multiplicity of wheels
in pyramid form carries the engine just
twice as far forward in q single revo-
luton of the wheels as IL they were on
the track themselves.
In other words the speed of the en-
gine, whatever it might be on the rails;
Is exactly doubled by the use Of the
new truck. In an experiment made
with an ordinary locomotive thus
mounted In Minnesota, eighty miles
was easily attained. The invention
has been kept quiet. In addition - the
increase Of speed attninable. this new
Invention, 1t is claimed, will save mil
lions Of dollars through the diminished
wear and tear on the rails, for the
weight of the locomotive will then be
further distributed along the track,
and at no point on the rail will there be
pressure Of more than one-third as
great as is now exerted by the driving
wheels.
