TELEGRAPHING on THEFLY
Messages to be Sent From Moving
Trains.

Chicago. Aug. 2s.-George F. Trott, a
former telegrapher, has devised a sys-
tenn of telegraphing from a moving
train which Will shortly be given a
practical test by the Pennsylvania road
BY his system, Trott claims every train
on the line will be in constant commun-
ication with the station ahead, or, if
desired, with the train dispatcher.
The device used is an adaptation of
the third rail of the elevated railways.
Two insulated metallic tracks are laid
between and parallel to the traction
rails. On these rails runs a trolley
mechanism hitched under the tender.
The contact Of the wheels with the rails
completes the circuit ana insulated
wires conduct the current into the en-
gine cab and by means of the bell cord
to any part of the train where the tele-
graph instrument is located.

AFTER COAL OPERATORS.
Methods of Owners of Kansas Coal
Mines to be Ventilated.

Attorney General Boyle says the law
passed by the last legislature to pre-
vent mining companies or, other corpor-
ations from paying their men with
scrip is imperative, because it pro-
vides that no prosecutions shall be in
stituted unless upon complaint by an
aggrieved party. AS the men who are
aggrieved would likely lose their jobs
after making complaints. there is no
prospect of them taking any steps m
that direction.
Mr. Boyle proposes to bring two diff
ferent suits against the coal companies
in another way. He Will first bring
suit to forfeit the charters held by the
companies upon the contention that
they are violating the state law and
second a suit charging them with vio-
lating the Farrelly antitrust law.

Many Charges Made.

A committee from the Populist DEM
Ocratic f1ambeau club has prepared
charges which will be filed with the
board of police commissioners demand
ing that Patrolrnan J. J. Davis be re-
moved from the police force. They
make nine distinct, direct charges
against the patrolman, any one Of
which if true no doubt will result In
Davis dismissal. These charges will
have to be proven, and at today's meet
ing of the police board the club will
probably make an effort to do so. The
charges are followed by an appeal to
the board in which the committee
urges that his continuance as a patrol
man is discredit to the force and det-
rimental to the party

The most exciting game of baseball
played on the Makaiki grounds for sew
eral years took place on Saturday,
when the Stars and Regiments con-
tested. The grounds were in poor con-
dition. owing to the mud in the base
the rain came down hard but the boys
stuck to it and played we'll. Consider
ing the fact that Duncan got out of the
hospital only a few hours before the
game was called, and O'Connor was so
i'll the night before that the services
of a physician were necessary, it is
wonderful that the Regiment team sue
ceeded as we'll as it did. Babbitt pitch
ed through seven innings and if he had
been allowed to finish, it is possible
the result would have been different.
The Stars put up a good game but they
were out played and the Regiments
held them we'll
German and Moore excelled them
selves behind the bat and at second
base. The way German put the ball to
Moore called forth frequent applause
German caught a good game until the
eighth inning, when the Stars piled up
six runs. In the beginning of that inn
ing an accident happened to his trou-
sers and he was obliged to change with
Hennessy. The accumulation of the
runs then may be attributed to Hen
nessy's pants or Bowers weak pitching
in this inning. In the absence of
barrel. Hennessy remained under cover
for the rest of the game Davis at
third was clearly off his feet. His two
errors in the seventh inning gave Ma
huka run. Luahiwa did we'll at the
bat, in one instance bringing in three
men and in another two.
If the Regiments will play as good
a game hereafter as they did yesterday
the baseball penant for 1897 will float
over the Barracks. Following is the
score by innings:
