QUO WARRANTo SUSTAINED.


Decision in the Justices Case Was Rem
dered This Morning.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
HARRISBURG, May 1.-THE Dauphin
county court this morning handed down a
decision sustaining the writ of quo warranto
issued at the instance of certain Justices
of the Peace, of Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City, against certain other Justices of the
same borough.
The practical effect of this decision is that
Justices Toomey, Dengler, Williams, Bier
stein and Walker, of this town, are declared
to be no longer Justices of the Peace
although the actual custer will not take
effect in the case of those whose commission
have not expired until writ of CLUSTERS i,
issued by the court. The issuance of that
writ pending appeal is discretionary witt
the court and depends upon the necessity foi
it.
A. w. Schalck, ESD, one of the counsel fo1
the old justices, to-day stated that he would
take steps to at once carry the case to the
Supreme Court which will convene on June
1st. The question has never been tested in
this court, although the court of Dauphn
county has twice before decided in accord
ance with the decision of to-day.
Naturally Justices Lawlor and Cardin, Of
town. and Coyle and Jones, of AIahanoy City,
are very much elated over the decision which
declares them to be the only legal Justices in
their respective boroughs

NO ANXIETY IN WASHINGTON.

Confidence That Leniency VIII be Shown

WASHINGTON, May 11.-If any official
news was received by the government in
Washington yesterday regarding the case
of the Americans captured aboard the
Competitor by the Spaniards and con-
demned by court martial to be shot, dill
gent inquiry fails to disclose it's nature.
Secretary Olney, to whom a note was adj
dressed on the subject replied that there
was nothing new to make public. Inquiry
in congressional circles among those di-
rectly interested in the case of one of the
men-Milton-shows that no additional
facts have been received by them. Senator
Pasco, of Florida, who has taken especial
interest in the cases, believes that the
Spanish government viii not be inclined
towards hasty action, as in the present
state of public feeling any summary de-
cision by it may lead to serious conse-
quences,
The fact that the Havana officials have
referred the execution of sentence to Ma
drid is a source of qualification to those in
terested in the prisoners fate, and inspires
the belief that some leniency may be
shown, 1t is not improbable that an ef-
fort may be made in congress during the
coming week, by resolution to acquaint
the public with the facts in the case by
calling on the president for information,
and requesting him to take such steps as
will give the condemned men civil trial.

DIsoRDERLY HOUSE RAIDBD.
Two Men and Two Women Put Under Bail
For Trial.

At about ten o'clock last night Chief of
Police Tosh, accompanied by Policemen Lee,
Foltz, Goodman and Stanton, and Constable
Dando, made a descent upon house of ill
fame kept by young woman named Bridget
Fogarty & former resident of Gilberton. The
police gained admittance at a rear door and
as they walked in a well known man resid-
ing in the First ward dropped out of front
window. Four people were arrested. They
were the Fogarty woman, Annie VAIN, also
late of Gilberton, and two young
men named Charles f. Stauier and Elmer
Raush. After spending the night in the
Council Chamber the prisoners were given a
hearing before Justice Denger this morning
and required to furnish 500 bail each for
trial at court. The raid was made upon the
instigation of StaufIer's father.

ROLLER SHIP LAUNCHED.

A Strange Craft to Sail from France for
London.
In the presence of numerous foreign
engineers and a large crowd of onlook-
ers the so-called roller steamer, the in
vention of M. BaZin, we1l-known ma
dockyards at st. Denis, France. The
vessel will traverse the Seine, cross the
English channel and go to London.
The boat is a large rectangular iron
box about 100 feet in length; 40 feet
wide and 5 feet high. 1t is mounted on
six lenticular disks or rollers 30 feet in
diameter and sunk in the water 10 feet,
while the lower floor of the box is at
an equal distance from the level of the
water In the sides of the box is the
machinery, which is of $50 horse power.
This sets in motion a screw and the roll
ers.
In the upper part of the vessel, be-
tween the disks, which pierce the box
and extend beyond it about seven feet.
are comfortable cabins. This strange
looking vessel has a displacement of
ESQ tons.
NJ Bazin's first experiments were
made with small model, the rollers of
which were moved by clock-work, the
propeller being replaced by weight,
which was attached to string passing
over a pulley to the front of the boat.
w men the rollers We're not working
the miniature boat took twenty-five sec
onds to cross from one side of the Large
vessel in which it was placed to the
other side. When they were working
it took only eleven seconds
AS the power necessary to keep the
rollers at work is only 0ne-qnarter of
the power that is required to keep the
screw going, the mathematics result is
that the speed OF the vessel is doubled
by an extra expenditure of power which
amounts to only one-quarter. But
vast increase of speed is net The only
advantage claimed for these rolling
steamers 1T is pointed out that when
they shall be used the length Of voy-
ages will he diminished, the consump-
ton of coal will be lessened,, and, as
natural result, passengers and freight
will he transported at far less expense
than heretofore.
Moreover, experts assert that the sta
bility of the rolling boats will be far
greater than that Of the steam vessels
at present in use. It is also asserted
that the catastrophes at sea would prac-
tically cease by the use of rollers In
case Of a collision or other accident,
though some of the rollers might be
damaged, some would almost certainly
escape damage. and two would suffice to
keep the vessel afioat and take her into
port.
NJ. Bazn expects the boat to make
from 40 to 80 kilometres an hour while
crossing the channel. The theory of the
inventor is that boats should roll over

Can Overlook 1t.

At last the long-expected objection has
come! The pastime of bicycling by la
dies. out of which they have derived SO
much health, enjoyment and amusement
has been repea teddy assailed with a view
of turning its devotees into another chan
mel of occupation So far, however, by
the spirited enthusiasm with which the
new craze HIS been taken up, all these
assaults have proved unsuccessful. How
ever, there is admittedly some danger
of acceptance in the last objection which
has been advanced There is a decided
artfulness in its PRONUNCIATION, and lady
bicyclists, taken unaWareS, might be dis
posed in consequence to look for the first
time with some askance at their new
plaything. We allude to the allegation
concerning the bicycle hand is thing
of ugliness and horror forever" The
distinctive features of this hand are
stated to be that lit becomes fattened,
bulges out at the sides, gets lumpy and
out of shape, and the fingers all become
crooked" and all these dreadful results
are held to be due to the habit of clutch
ing the handle of the machine. But
after all. assuming this terrible allegation
to be true, what does it matter? Let
women cultivate health and the ways
that bring health, and the men will
value them more for SO doing, despite
the fact that the result may be a little
loss in the graceful outlines of the fe
male figure owing merely to some healthy
increase in the muscular tissue.-London

FIERCE FIGHT WITH BEES.
Two Pennsylvania Farmers Nearly Stung
to Death During a Scrimmage.


to Death During a Scrimmage.
John Rabuck and Harry G. Moore,
farmers residing near Shamokin, Pa,
had a desperate fight with seven swarms
of enraged honey bees recently. The
bees attacked the farmers and drove
them to a field where they took refuge
in holes to escape from the Infatuated in
sects. Rabuck and Moore's heads are
swollen beyond recognition and their bod
les and hands are also badly stung.
Moore and Rabuck are neighbors, and
the latter had paid the former a visit
to have his hair cut Moore's bees began
swarming during the operation and their
owner fearing they would leave their
hives began hammering on tin pan
to attract their attention. When this
failed, he fired a shotgun into the mass of
insects. killing many Of them. Infuriat-
ed at this the bees made a dart at Moore
and Rabuck, and almost completely en-
veloped them. Maddened by the insects
stings, the farmers dashed into a near
cornfield and with the bees crawling
over them dug blindly into the clay.
Perceiving how their victims intended
escaping torment. the little honey-makers
swarmed over the holes and were cleared
away only after considerable difficulty
Rabuck and Moore then covered them
selves up and shortly after the bees,
called by their queen, departed for the
mountain. The farmers We're taken from
the ground unconscious from the stings
and nearly dead from suffocation.
