FOR HIS LIFE,
Louis Walker on Trial for MurderfnE
Rival.

Judge Cole and d jury IN Criminal Court
No. 1 were occupied today in listening to
the testimony introduced by District At
torney Birney in the case of Louis Walker,
the young colored man who shot William,
alias MILITARY Jones, also colored, the
9th of last month. The trial will probably
be concluded late this evening or tomor-
row afternoon The defendants counsel,
Messrs. Kicks and JONES' will contend. 1t
is said, that Walker fired the fatal shot in
self-defenSe.
The testimony introduced on behalf of the
government tended to support the claim
The two men, it appeared, loved not wisely,
but far too we'll, one Hattie Bailey. Each
imagined that he was the sole recipient of
her affections until the evening of the
shooting, when Jones, calling at the home
Of the dusky charmer, near Mt. Pleasant
found her and Walker in such close com
munion that he suddenly realized it was a
case Of "'alf and 'alf." Jones reminded
Walker that Miss Bailey had granted him
the proud distinction Of paying her room
rent and suggested his departure acceler-
ating his movements with slight blow on
the feet with a market basket.
Mr.. Walker stepped outside and then in
again, revolver in hand, and, remarking
that he would shoot any s. Of b
that got In the way, he fired Just as Jones
turned to face him. The ball struck his
rival in the left breast, inflcting a wound
from which death almost instantly re-
suited. Walker fled at once, and being
pursued by crowd of citizens was cap
tured under a bridge crossing Rock creek,
after having hidden his pistol in the sand.

A Light House With No Lantern.


The most extraordinary Of all light houses
is to be found on Armsh rock, Stornoway
bay-a rock which is separated from the
Island Of Lewis by a channel over 500 feet
wide. 1t is in the Hebrides, Scotland On
this rock conical beacon is erected, and
on its summit a lantern is fixed, from
which, night after night, shines a Light
which Is seen by the fishermen far and
wide Yet there Is no burning lamp in the
lantern and no attendant ever goes to it.
for the simple reason that there Is no lamp
to attend to- no wick to trim and no oil
we'll to replenish.
The way in which this peculiar light
house Is Illuminated is this: "On the Island
Of Lewis, 500 feet or SO away, Is a light
house, and from window in the tower a
stream of light is projected on a mirror in
the lantern on the summit of Armish rock
These rays are reflected to an arrange
ment of prisIns, and by their action are
converged to focus outside the lantern,
from where they diverge in the necessary
direction.
The consequence is that, to all intents
and purposes, light house exists which
has neither lamp nor light house keeper,
and yet which gives as servceable a light
taking into account the requirements of
this locality-as II an elaborate and costly
light house, with lamps service room, bed
room, living room, store room, Oil room
water tanks and all other accessories were
erected on the summit Of the rock
