CARBIDE OF CALCIUM.

1t is of interest of many to know
that a new process has been developed
in Paris for the manufacture of car
bide of calcium by NJ. Patin. The
cost of the production of this sub
stance has hitherto been about pro-
hibitory; but by NJ. Patin's process,
which is in actual practical operation
in Paris, it is claimed, the cost has
been reduced to $40, and in districts
where there is command of water
power is can, it is said, be manufac-
tured for $50 to $35. This is a very
important matter, as bearing on the
future of acetylene gas. Such gas,
as is well known, gives a very bril-
liant light, but, owing in part to the
high cost of it's production, it has not
hitherto made the progress that would
otherwise have been expected. With
carbide at $35 or $40, acetylene gas
may have future.

The Other Confessed.

They Were Brothers, One Identified.
The Other Confessed.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 13.-An Al
bert Lea special to the Journal says
the second Sherburne bank robber.
captured at Lake Mills, Iowa, passed
through here yesterday in custody, on
his way to Blue Earth City, where he
is to be jailed for safety. He would
certainly be lynched in Martin cOun-
ty, where the crime was committed,
and there is fear that even in Fari-
bault an attempt to lynch him may be
made. He confessed, in addition to
his previous admissions, that he and
the dead rObber, his brother, fired n
barn at Heron Lake, Mimi, a week
ago, yesterday, with the idea of rob-
bling the bank during the excitement.
Owing to the care the cashier took
to lock up the funds the plan failed.
He says they broke in to hardware
store at Sherburne and stole their re-
vOlvers and the bicycles.
A Mason City special says the dead
robber, known as J. ID. Sarben, has
been identified as Jesse Lake, who
clerked in that city last May.

\ SECULAR PRIEST.
Wanted BY The Pope As Keane's
Successor.


Successor.
Washington, ID. c., Oct. 13.-On the
Dist the board Of trustees of the Cath
Ollie University will meet in this city
TO select three names to be submitted
to Pope Leo NH, who will designate
one of the three to be the successor to
Bishop Keane, whose summary re-
mOval as rector of the university has
OccasiOned so much comment and has
elected so many expressions of SYM
patty and respect from Catholics and
PrOteStants alike.
1t is stated with much pOsitiveness
and as emanating indirectly from the
new papal delegate, Archbishop Mar
tinelli, that the pope's wish is that
the new rector of the university
should not be 4 high dignitary of the
church, but one holding no higher &C.
cleSiastical office than that of secular
priest. 1t is believd that the potent
influence of the Papal legation will
be eXerted to secure this result, the
object being to step outside of all the
controversies of the higher dignitaries
of the church now menacing the pro-
greSS of the university.
