Dr. Daily. That gentleman said it was

The health department can get along

and disease will spread. He did not
deem the chairman of the sanitary
committee was as thoroughly posted on

but what it does not do ii must not be

Buckle said if the council got too low

Newell made a motion to postpone

On the cemetery amount a reduction
was announced of s., 500 in expenses.
This was objected to by O'Meara, who
said people were not allowed to take

was just equal to the amount paid. If
this sum is reduced give the money
back to the owners of pIats.

lam Walters surrendered himself to
Sheriff Burr yesterday. saying he killed
Paul Maddox in Tuscaloosa county, AL
ALBANIA, in April, 1890. According to his

Walters bought some whisky of Mad

for the liquor. They had several drinks
together. when Maddox again asked
for pay. Walters said he had already
paid for the liquor. Maddox struck him
on the forehead with a bottle. Wal
tiers retaliated by drawing revolver
and putting a bullet through Mad
doX's body. Walters fed and made his
way out of Mississippi, where he board
ed a train for the Pacific coast Sher-

cock, an electrician. 1t took three days
of experimenting before a successful
result was obtained.
In making the experiments no cam
era is used, no focus is necessary.
The objects to be photographed are
merely laid on the outside of plate
holder, the wooden slide of which is
not removed. The vacuum tube is
suspended above the objects. The
cathode ray makes its mysterious pene-
tration and on the sensitized plate in

THE FIRST.
The first thoroughly successful ex-
pertinent was made with number of
common objects placed on the plate
holder These were, first, a small cir
cular pocket pincushion made of silk,
with a number of pins inserted at the
edges; second, a pasteboard pill box,
containing two salol and phenacetine
pills, a steel staple. a brass hook, q
double-pointed tack, q ibrass-headed
tack and a shirt stud with a spiral
wire; third, a wooden lead-pencf1 with
metal and rubber tip; fourth, a brass
hinge.
The experiment was a success. This
Silken pincushion was instantly shown
and every pin was visible. The out
lines of the pill box were visible, yet
every article in the box We're clearly
shown on the plate The graphite
lead-pencil was shown by a heavier
shadow than that made by the wood
or bit of metal and rubber tip. The
next experiment was

was driven screw. The piece of pine
was placed on the plate holder, the
current was turned on and the cathode
ray did its perfect work. When the
plate was developed the shadow of
wood was shown and distinctly visible
was the outline of the screw, the
threads being thoroughly perceptible
The next experiment was entirely
different from the tests that had pre-
coded it. The corpse of little bird
was placed on the plate holder slide
and there permitted to remain under
the vacuum tube for two hours. The
plate shows the form of the bird and
the bones of the neck,
wing, leg, shoulder and chest. Dr..
Jones believes that longer exposure
would have produced a plate showing
most of the bones of the skeleton and
having but a mere indication of the
body.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 20.-The devel-
opments in the Fort Thomas horror
advanced a few PAGES today. Young
Wood, who has heretofore been so re-
ticent. repeated from memory two let
tiers that he had received from Jack
son, one dated Jan. %, and another
dated Feb. 5.
He says that these letters were
shown to his friends at Greencastle,
among them Early, the operator. and
DR.. R. G. Gillespie, the dentist at
GreencastIe The first letter is, as
nearly as he can recollect, as follows:
Cincinnati, o., Jan. %. 1895.
Hello BILL expect you think I
have forgotten you, but 1 have not.
I have been awful busy this week. 1
have not been over to Kentucky yet,
so you must know that 1 have been
busy. I work all day in the college
you see 1 am busy for sure.
"Well, for business. Tell Bert to
come on. 1 have very nice room
with a nice old lady. A friend of Wal
ling is going to do the work, an old
hand at the business. We go to his
home tonight for supper. He is a
chemist. 1 think I will have enough
money, but tell Bert to bring all she
can, for it may come handy. Tell her
to leave G. c. SO as to get here Mon
day night. Tell her she can go home
in four or five days. Push it along.
Don't go back on me now when L am
this near out of my troubue. Be sure
and burn this as soon as read
"Your chum always, D."
THE OTHER.
The next letter which Wood said
he received from Jackson he produced
from memory as nearly literal as pos
Sibla in the following words:
Cincinnati, Feb. 3, 1896.
"Hello Bill:-Be awful careful what
you say. [ am expecting trouble Oh,
Lord. stand by me. Do you think Doc
will. Write him. I made a big mis-
take and it is going to get me into
trouble. Don't forsake me now. Now
is when I need you most. Write Doc
He'll stand up for me, won't he? Say,
Bill, 1 wish l had never seen that girl
and had never seen G. C. G. d. my
tough luck anyway. Be sure and burn
this Immediately. Don't let anyone
see it Now Billy stand by your old
chum. D."
MUCH DISTURBED.
Wood said his friends, including those
mentioned, Will remember the
contents of these letters and swear to
them. He says that he burned all of
the letters. That if Feb. ) seems dam
aging from the fact that Wood knew
at that time that girl z.ad been muir
dered at Fort Thomas The contents
of these letters were reported to Jack
son. Jackson evaded questions in re-
gard to the authorship of them, but
seemed to be very much disturbed.
Although Jackson sings and dances
in jail, Walling is the more cheerful
OF the two men and holds up fairly
well. He is continually asking about
the developments in May Smiths story
which she repeated to Mayor Caldwell
yesterday. He is very reticent except
in accusations against Jackson. Even
IN these he INDUCES more sparingly
than he did when first arrested.
Miss May Smith Of Louisville. is still
lowering around the city, never stop
ping two nights at the same place. She |
is confessedly in love with WaIline
and her presence here is without doubt
for the purpose of doing everything
she can to prove his innocence or miti-
gate the offense.
