Grand Duke Vladimir Criticised in His

DOhO N1AululE NIAC1ClBGu IN HIS

A refreshing story is told in the coll
umns of the Frankfort Gazette: The
cZar intrusted Count pahlan, a liberal
minded man, with IN inquiry into the
causes of the terrible disaster at Mos
COW on the occasion of the coronation,
and the count did not.hesitate to tell
his majesty, in the presence OF Grand
Duke Vladimir, that he would have done
better MOTTO put the superintendent OF
the coronation festivals into the hands
of the grand duke. This frank declara-
ton staggered the emperor, who asked
Count Pahlen to advance his reasons.
The count answered: 'The grand
dukes are in their right place in the
army and navy, but if they have to do
with purveyors and purveyance tkeyy
must be cheated" The Grand Duke
Vladimir protested against this, but
smiling]y Count Pahlen reminded him
of his bad experience in connec-
ton with the building of the memorial
church to Alexander II. In consequence
of this frank attitude of Count Pahlen,
the minister of justice was ordered to
continue the Inquiry. He succeeded in
clearing up the dark affair, but when
the investigation begun to take n very
disagreeable turn it was determined to

COURIER JOURNAL EXPLAINS
The Man Who Wrote Its Silver Ed
itorialn Died Insane.

Louisville. KY, Sept. 19.-The Courier-
Journal confesses to its free silver edito-
rails of 1856. and particularly the one
of August il. The editorial says:
THE Courier Journal out of consider
alton for the memory of the estimab!a
gentleman who wrote those editoria.sa
has heretofore remained silent on the
subject, although it has received hum
dreds of inquiries regarding that one
published August II, 1886. But since the
silverites have come to attach so much
Importance to the article as to make it
their principal campaign document, it
seems ope that we should let them
know that 1t was not written by Mr..
Watterson Che being abroad at the time.
and one of his European letters appear
ing on the same page on which the edi-
torial was published). but that its au-
thor was Colonel w. H. Chiffon, who.
very soon after he wrote the now noted
editorial died in an asylum for the in

Colonel Chiffon, who was in every
weJ a worthy gentleman, and a Journal
list of ability, culture and experience
deservedly enjoying the respect and
confidence of his superiors and associ-
ates In the office. was the commercial
editor Of the paper, and in addition to
his duties in that capacity was expect
ed to contribute editorial matter on top
les in line with his department. In this
he was for many years allowed the
greatest latitude.
In 1886 the free coinage of silver was
in no sense an issue, as Colonel Chiffon
complained in his editorial. Nobody was.

except Colonel Chiffon, whose mind, it;

then, was impaired when he wrote the
editorial Of August, 1886. Growing.
steadily worse. it vas not long after the
publication of that editorial that HIS
unfortunate condition became apparent.

RESTORATION OF OIL WELLS.
An Electric Heater Designed to Cause tho
l .. Renewed Flow.

An Electric Heater Designed TO Cause tho
Renewed Flow.
The general theory concerning the
exhaustion of so many Oil wells is that
the oil, in passing through the stone,
las clogged the porous stones with pa--
affine in such quantities that the fur
ther flow is stopped and the well ceases
to produce. In many cases, says the
Age OF Steel. the supply in the earth has
not given out, but only ceases to flow
when the exit is stopped. The stone
through whic', the oil passes is of a very
porous nature, and, as the liquid is in
a crude state, the thick matter becomes
as dregs, settling in the rock near the
edges of the bottom of the well. Tor.
Pedoes have been used to shatter the
stone Mt the bottom of the well, thus
breaking up the clogged matter, but this
method is expensive. A new method
consists in lowering n peculiarly-con-
structed electric heater into the we'll.
The machine, which is eight feet long
and resembles an iron cartridge, is
placed in the bottom of the well and tho
current regulated so that the heater
receives justenough to produce an enor-
nous heat without melting the metal.
BY this peculiar construction Of tho
carbon-packed chambers the intense
heat is radiated about into the rock in
all directions. Thus the paraffine and
other refuse are softened and melted
up so that they run, and when the we'll
is started a fresh flow takes place, Just
as strong as it did when the we'll was
lust sunk.

MURDERED FOR MONEY.
Evidence That Martha McCord OF
Lawrence Was Robbed.

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 21.-The cor
oner's jury ~impaneled to Investigate the
death of Martha McCord, the dressmak-
er who was found dead with three
Ratchet wounds or the side of her head,
found that a pocketbook which she was
seen to take from under her pillow yes
terday morning vas missing and that
the bottom had been cut off of one OF
the pockets Of a skirt she wore, as
though it had been ri1ed in that way.
Blood stains We're found on the bed
clothing, which appeared to have been
made by someone wiping his hands on
them. About $3.50 of the woman's money
is unaccounted for, and it is generally
believed that she was murdered for her
money.
The crime was evidently committed
about 10 O'Clock in the morning, as the
woman with whom Miss McCord board
ed went into her room about Z o'clock
and found her sleeping and a boarder
wen there later and thought she was
still asleep. About 0:30 o'clock another
woman found her dead with the hatchet
on the pillow beside her. The first two
wome say hat the hatchet was not
there when they Were. in the room.
The inquest is still in session, and
there is no probability that it will be
finished today and may last two or three

A Mysterious Light That Hangs In .
West Virginia Canyon.
An oiaa-sinfe West SSiTginiu wonder
is again causing quite a discussion
among the reading and thinking Leo-
rle of Wyoming and adjoining coun-
tics. The wonder" referred to is the
mysterious light which has been known
since times almost prehistoric as the
"Wago Owanhan."
This phenomenal light, says the st,
Louis Republic, appears to emanate
from q certain spot on the PERCEPTIONS
sides of the great Pat WEISS canyon.
It casts its ghostly sheen across the
waters of the river, lighting the SUR
rcundings not with u "sickly, pale,
white light" but with a phosphorescent
glow of sufficient brightness to make
the reading of n newspaper or II book
possible on the darkest night. Accord
ing to some Investigators of the 'tWago
Owanhnn" the light does not emanata
from any spot on the canyons side, but
hangs out over the river, like a luminous
cloud or fog. This appears to have been
the case ut the time when Prof. Tohlurs
and Mr.. L. L. Christian-the latter of
0ceana, w. Va.-visited the spot. On
the 15th and 10th of last February an
expedition, headed by Mi. Christian.
again visited the "Wago Owanhan."
Snow was falling rapidly ut the time.
and Mr.. Christian says that every flake,
when it reached u height of about 900
feet above the water, would blaze out
with dazzling brightness" and remain
luminous until it reached the surface.
A scientific Investigation of the phc-
nomenon will be made.
