houses Narrow Escape Notes

Ex-Chief Deputy County Clerk Frank E.
Lowry will probably be compelled to stand
trial upon the indictment found against
him by the grand jury charging him with
embezzling 1884 of the peoples money.
One by one all of the technical points
known to the law have been brought up by
the attorneys of Lowry in an attempt to
knock out the indictment and thereby
estop the prosecution of the case, without
giving Lowry the opportunity, which he
says he seeks, to vindicate himself.
Thus far, though, the superior judges
have rather favored the idea of giving
Lowry the opportunity his friends say that
he wants, to show that he is an innocent
man. Yesterday afternoon four judges.
sitting en- banc, refused to release Lowry
on q writ of habeas corpus and disposed of
another point brought up by Lowry's attor-
neys in the endeavor to knock out the in
dictment.
Lowry has been out on bail ever since
his second indictment. In order that he
might, technically speaking, be in the GUS
tody OF the sheriff, his bondsmen yester-
day surrendered him to that officer.
Sheriff Burr was then served with a writ
of habeas corpus and directed to bring
Lowry into court. department four, where
the writ was heard by Judges Smith, Van
Dyke, Clark and Shaw.
E. A. Meserve and w. j. Variel, the
attorneys for Lowry. made the point that
the indictment against their client was in
valid.
1t will be remembered that after the first
indictment was returned by the grand jury
it was found defective and was set aside
by Judge Smith, who directed that the
matter be resubmitted to the body of in
quisition.
There is an unfortunate difference of
opinion among lawyers about the meaning
of the law with reference to such SUBJ
mission. and the effect of sustaining de-
murrer or granting a motion to set aside
an indictment and it's resubmission to the
same grand jury. The attempt was made
to have Judge Smith knock out the second
indictment on the ground that it was not
legal to submit the case to the same grand
jury, the contention being also that Mr..
Lowry has been once in jeopardy. But
Judge Smith ruled against the attorneys on
every proposition.
The four judges sitting en- banc yester-
day sustained the action of Judge Smith
and denied the application for writ.
Young was then compelled to give a new
bond, which he did and was released.

Two Attorneys Have an Exciting Discussion

General H. A. Pierce and Attorney Car

that was warm, exciting and spirlled to a

to think he was the aggrieved party and
he simply laid down the law and the facts
to Attorney Carver in a voice that awak-

NOT 4 RUlrSELLER.

Governor Woodbury of Vermont is not rumseller. So say the three judges to whom his case against the Rutland Herald was referred, and as it was agreed that their decision should be final what they say about the matter will stand. It will be remembered that
 the Rutland Herald said that under the
 prohibitory law of Vermont Governor Woodbury was g. rumseller. Governor Woodbury lives in Burlington and is a part owner of the Van Ness house in that city. Liquor was sold in that to- tel. The Herald sent commissioners to the hotel to obtain evidence that the prohibition law was violated there and
 they had no difficulty whatever in get ting all the liquor they wanted served at the public tables in the dining room or in their rooms. While the hotel had no open bar the guests ordered liquor if they wanted it, and 1t was obtained promptly and without difficulty. On the strength of the evidence thus ob- tained, and on the general reputation which the hotel bore, the Herald charg- ed Governor Woodbury with being a rumseller This the Herald did as a part Of it's campaign against the pro- hibition law, hoping to make it appar-
 ent that the law was farce and fail- ure. Governor Woodbury, to the sur-
 prise of everybody and against the ad- vice of many of his friends, brought suit against the Herald and last winter the case came to trial Evidence was
 supplied that liquor was sold in the
 hotel and that Governor Woodbury was one of the owners of the property and proprietors of the business. The gov ernor, however, denied that he had any
 personal knowledge of the traffic and also claimed that he had no ownership in the liquors served to the guests of
 his hotel. It is on that ground that the court awards $1,000 damages. The court finds that Governor Woodbury did not own the liquor sold in his hotel and was 1 therefore not rumseller
 Hereafter it will perhaps be difficult l to find the ownep of liquors sold in Ver- | mont hotels.

PHoToeRAPHING VOCAL SOUNDS.
Apparatus by Means of Which People

Apparatus by Means of Which People May Hear Themselves.
 People not only see themselves as others see them, hear themselves as
 others hear them, and in the light of the Roentgen rays study the mystery of
 their anatomy, but are enabled by a late discovery to photograph the voice. This new philosophy was explained last night at the lecture hall of the Y. NJ c.
 A. building in Germantown, by Dr. Floyd l.. Muckey, a well-known city,
 and who, with Dr. William Hallock,
 professor of physics in Columbia col lege first conceived the idea of the ap- plication of photography of the human voice.
 Dr. Muckey came to Germantown at the request of his friend, Professor J. McCombie Murray, and brought with
 him his complete outfit fop the fullest demonstration of Hallock and Muckey's
 method of voice photography.
 The doctor is a man of fine presence. | an easy, pleasing talker and excellent demonstrator His lecture, aided by figures, charts and appliances. was highly entertaining and educating from start to finish. It was free from technicalities and he made his science so simple and practical as to be easily | and clearly understood by all.
 The process is really photographing
 the mechanism of the voice. The appa
 ratus is a rectangular box, into one
 side of which are fitted eight resona- 1 tors, metal spheres graduated in size,
 which represent the fundamental and
 overtone of the voice. This series of resonators is connected with eight manometric capsules on the reverse
 side of the box, and back of these is placed a camera. The capsules are
 emitting a small flame of gas. If a person sings in front of the resonators
 they catch the voice and analyze 1t,
 separating it into it's different clements. i The vibratory motion In the resonators
 causes the small flames susceptible to | the slightest influence to bob up and 1 down and these fluctuations are pllo-
 tDgraphed in horozontal wave lines.
 The failure of fluctuations in any one
 of these flames indicates the absence
 of vibration in the reSonator with
 which it is connected, and the absence
 therefore in the voice of that overtone which would cause the vibration. Im- perfect fluctuation shown in the pho l tograph would, of course, indicate de- l ficiency in that particular tone of the
 voice. From these photographs those who understand the philosophy of sound can readily determine the intens- ity, pitch and general quality of a
 voice they have never heard and state
 the purpose for which it is best suited.
 They are invaluable in comparing
 different voices and the same voice at different times They tell the exact truth with regard to the qualities of the

IN ARGUMENT.

Some people say that the Boy Ora tors and the other advocates of the sil- yer cause are short of real good solid arguments, and some people say that they have not one real good solid argu- ment. The people who so say have al- lowed their zeal to obscure their per ception. Let them pay attention to an argument which is made by the Detroit Tribune, free silver organ. That pa per says: "It is true that under an era of higher prices fixed salaries will not go as far as now. but now they go too far, and their purchasing power ought to be reduced" And we find Judge w. S. Mccain, of Little Rock, Arkansas, making the same argument. He says: am sometimes asked if I believe the remonetization of silver would increase it's value so as to make the bullion in a silver dollar equal in value to the pres- ent gold dollar. I answer no. If thought so, I would not waste time ad- vocating the restoration of the unlim- ited coinage of silver. The sole object of remonetizing silver, as I understand it, is to secure cheaper dollar with which to measure and regulate prices. Our present gold dollar is too valua- ble. It's purchasing power is too great. It will buy too much.
 People who can't see the solidity and force of this argument must be stupid enough. Every man who gets paid for any work that he does should under stand that the dollars in which he is paid will buy too much, and he should hasten to vote to have them buy less.
