and here he stopped. when the train
pulled i'm the depot more than three
hours late Police officer Turner was
there to meet it. He also met Lee llar-

Walter Jones and David Warilcld went
along with the officer. too. But their

SIZE Harrison on; of his trouble. There
was commotion among the entire com.
pany. The women looked mad. The
men cursed.
There was another passenger who
stopped in Suffolk. This was George NJ.
Charters, commercial man. at whose
instance the arrest was made. Chart
ers had Il back new moon mark in
the vicinity OF his right orb. The right
side of his face was dark and swollen.
He had received some heavy blows and
Lee Harrison was one of the men whom
he charged with assault. Another
named Newall escaped the Suffolk po-
lice. but telegram was sent TO Peters,
burg ordering his arrest.
The three theatrical men and Charters
went to Mayor Brewers office. where a
warrant was issued charging Harrison
with assault. The Mayor instructed
Turner TO deliver the prisoner To Sheriff
Baker to be taken to Norfolk county
for trial Attorney j. L. Burgess was
employed in the case and a compromise
was effected, Harrison paying all costs,
including the doctors bill, for Charters.
The theatrical men went on to Peters

trip. little sadder ana badly disiigured
but much wiser.
Charters is tall and handsome He
wears clothes of the latest style, and n

ness for women in general and pretty
stage girls in particular. This Is why
his face is larger and his eye darker
than when he left Norfolk this morning.
When the train had proceeded about
four miles there was a delay in conse-
quence of a freight wreck. Then it was
that Charters thought the time would
fly more rapidly in the coach where

TEsLAs MARVELLOUS TRANSMITTING SIGHT

Nicola Tesla, the electrician, believes that
he will be able to construct an apparatus
which will practically be o long-distance
camera obscura, although totally different in
principle. His invention, IL he can succeed
with it. and ne thinks he can, will enable an
observer in New York to see plainly street
scene in London, or Chicagoan to leisurely
view the animated scene of a street In San
Francisco as 1t actually exists. Tesla is
working hard to find medium by which
light rays can be transmitted from dis
lance and enter the eye SO as to carry the
sensation Of three dimensions OF the brain.
He has such medium In mind, but he will
not disclose what 1t is until he has had more
success with 1t. The medium Itself must be
light, but the scientist reserves the nature.
