IMPROVING ITS WIRES
Union Pacific Prepares to Do Its Own
 Telegraph Business.

Laram.e, Colo, Oct. 14.-Twenty linemen are at work on the Laramie division today stringing new copper wire. The outfit is at Hampers sta tion and is being nov d rapidly for ward. They have dining car and complete equipment While their op- erations are being conducted without any publicity, 1t is generally under stood that the Union Pacific is getting ready to comply with the order of the United States court requiring a com plete separation of the business of the railroad and the Western Un on. An extension was recently granted till January 1, 1898, and to perform all the necessary work between now and that time will require the u,mCst expe- dition.
 This division will mean a complete divorcement of the interests of the two companies and the Union Pacific will then receive bus ness from a l sources, whether controlled by ind v1duals or corporations, for t:ars- mission over It's telegraph lines.

PRISON PERFORMERS.
Annual Conference and Exhibition
 of New York Association.

New York, Oct. 14.-The prison as- sociaticn of New York opened its pr, son exhfbi ion and three day an. nual conference at the headquarters of the organization yesterday after noon. President Lewis opened the confarenca. He spoke in vigorous protest against the idea that society must punish man :n propor' 'don to h;s guilt. "Until that idea has been e,adicated from mems minds" said he, ''there is no hope of reforming the criminal. Agein we offer an other idea as a true basis for penal action, 1t 1s the duty of society to protect itself by the elimination of the criminal c.a:s, refo ming the criminal wherever possible and re- sr5ining ard putting out cf the way all those criminals whose liberty ren- ders society unsafe until they are fit to be at large. The traditional idea, embodied in our penal code, is now being constant y encroached on by such innovations as the parole law of New Zealand and Massachu satts"
 G. c. Speranza then read an inter estdng and vel wo ded paper on the Italian Penal Code" There is no death penalty in Italy. The co e has been severely crit cised, but it is now the standard of Europe. Even Eng land has an official translation of it.
 MT. Lewis criticised the code on the ground of its being based on the old idea of punishment, al hough a mar vel of .horouehness and precision.
 Col. Scott, head of the Massachu- SC ts reformatory, to which men are admitted between the ages cf H5 and 35 years, then gave an interesting description of it's work. .''The differ enoe bttwc en DIS n en1 the reform atory," said he, "is that one makes

New York, Oct. 14-A scheme of illumina, ion, as beautiful as it is orig inal, is being put into operation in the new library at Columbia univers- ity. By system of reflected lights a big whiie moon, whose luminous rays VII light the who'e interior, hangs suspended from the dark blue background of the dome. Although electricity alone is used, and the most intense rays from arc lights are fo- cussed through strong lenses on the great white sphere, the reflected ra- ance of the moon consists of rays so soft and diffused that it is refresh ing to the sight. The moon consis s of a hollow sphere, seven feet in di- ameter, constructed of wood and painted a dull white. The invention was suggested by Charles McKim, the architect

RUN ON A BANK.
It Was Caused By a Typographical
 Error in One of the Newspapers.

Montrs a. Oct. 14-There was a run yesterday on the City and Dis trict Savings bank, local inst. triton in which the seminary. of St. -.Sulpice is s9id 70 have a controlling interest and which is regarded as perfectly solvent. One explanation given is that the run was caused by a typo grarh cal error in ore of the French ,ocal new p pc in a message from Madrid that in case war was declar- ed against Spain the Banque d'Es- pagne would stop its payments.
 The message was made to read La Banq~e d'Epagus," which Is the French name of the savings bank. This started a run on the east end branch and the tellers Were overrun with customers who wished to with draw their funds.
 On St. James street stands the main office and here, tco. a crowd was pressing in on the telle~s who were paying out money to all who could reach the wicket. The last run on this bank was in 1873, when a some what similar and senseless rumor got abroad and raised the fears of the people who do business with the in- st tuition and whose nervousness tten, as new, praciritated panic without good reason.

 One Feet of Wa.er Two Hours.

Ba't;more, Oct I4--A private trial of the submarine wrecking boat Argo- naut has been had in the dry dock of the Columbian Ircn works, where she was built, the result of which is said to have been highly satisfactory to her inventor and owners.
 She was submerged in twenty-one feet of water, remaining under the surface for two hours, during which time constant communication was kept up with those who were in her cabin and engine room by means of rubber tube. Six gentlemen con- nee cd wi the iron works and the company which owns the boat, accom- panied Simon Lake, the inventor. on the submarine trip, and all agree that there was an abundance of light and afr at all times, the compressed air being so pure that cigars were smoked in the cabin during the submersion.
 Many tests of her engines were made, and while the trial was merely preliminary, the inventor asserts that enough was learned to make it cer- tain that the boat will be able to per- form the work for when she was de-

 New York, Oct 14-A Washingt n special to the Commerc Advertiser says: The vaults in the basement of the treasury building, in wh oh many millions of dollars are stored, always have been dependent up9n strength for the safe keeping of their treasures. They will be protected still further by complicated system of electrical de- vices.
 In the entrance of the tre suly hui diug there now ands a cabinet, inside of which are an electrical needle and drop button for each vault and an alarn be'l. In the Ia emen of the building wires are being strung from this cabinet to each of the vaults Cusi of the big iron, door of each vault has ben built another door mafe of paper. Concea'fd beneath the outer surface there is a mass of small wires. These wi es are lad so closely together under the thin cover ing of paper that if person were to sick a pin through the outer cov- ering of the door the alarm would be set off in the main entrance and at the pol ce office as we'll. If the door which Is not very securely fastened, s opened, the alarm is st off even before the burglar has chance to get to the main doors of the vault.
 Inside of the vaul s a covering of thin paper boards has been laid upon foo S wells en1 iling5,. ' nd tteso, like the door at the entrance, have been fl led with wires, all connec ed with the alarm sy m. As soon as this flooring is to~ched by a piece of metal or as soon as one of the mil lions of fine wires woven in$o it is broken, the alarm is given.
