Lamps Burning for 1000 Years.

Why does not some one reinvent the
perpetual lamp of the ancients? It would
be a fine thing for a number of uses,
particularly for churches, bank vaults,
bedchambers, ETC., etc. Though there is
some doubt about them, the stories are
too numerous and too we'll authenticated
to be altogether legendary. When the
tomb of Pallas, son OF Evander, was
ouened, in the Twelfth century, it is said
lighted lamp, which must have been
burning 1000 years, hung above his head.
In 1850 marble sepulcher of the Roman
period was discovered on an island near
Naples. On opening it burning lamp
was found, which is thought to have been
lighted before the Christian era. About
the same time a somewhat similar lamp
was found near Padua. st. Augustine
mentions a lamp burning in the temple of
Venus that could not be extinguished,
and Ludvivicus, another that had been
burning for 1860 years. It is believed
that the perpetuity of these lamps was
owing to the consummate tenacity of the
unctuous matter with which the flame
was united. being SO proportional to the
strength of the fire that like the radial
and natural moisture IN animals, neither
of them could conquer or destroy the
other.-PittSburg Dispatch.

MURDERER BARTHEMAN.
4 Former SaCramentan Condemned to
Death.
He Spent Last Night in Our County
Jail, and Goes to Folsom
To-Day.

Sheriff Burr and Deputy Sheriff
Fleming of Los Angeles yesterday
brought to this city, en- route to Fol-
som, a prisoner named John p Barthe-
| man, who is under sentence of death
for the brutal murder of his wife in
Los Angeles.
Bartheman is to be hanged on the 1th
of May. At one time The resided in
Sacramento. where he was engaged in
the sewing machine business, and from
here he and his Wife removed to Los
Angeles. They did not get along har-
moniOusly in the southern city, and
Mrs. Bartheman there sued for a di-
vorce.
She failed to obtain a decree, but
Bartheman subsequently consented and
gave her a divorce on the condition
that she should care for and properly
rear their little girl.
The prisoner talked freely with De
putty Sheriff Kelly yesterday. He said
his child told him one day that her
mother was in the habit of making her
dance in a nude condition before men.
He went to where his wife was to re-
monstrate with her A quarrel ensuad
and the next he knew he was down
town with an empty revolver in his
hand. He was told he had fired five
shots at his wife and killed her. His
defense was temporary insanity at the
time the murder was committed. but
the jury found otherwise.
Bartheman then applied for a new
trial. alleging that some of the testi-
mOny introduced by the prosecution
was incompetent, especially on the
question of his sanity. His counsel also
contended that no motive for the muir
der had been shown, but the court
ruled against the prisoner on all points,
declaring that if ever there was a case
in which a motive was apparent from
start to finish, it was this one. a new
trial was denied, and Bartheman was
on Wednesday sentenced to death on
the 9TH of May.
The murderer still tries to convey the
impression that he was not response
bic for his act when he murdered his
wife, for while in the County Jail here
| recollection of the crime-that the cir
cumstance was all a blank to him.
Very likely there WIFI be the usual
appeal TO the Supreme Court from the
order denying a new trial, and a con-
sequent poatponement of the eXeeu-
ton.
Bartheman Will be taken to Folsom
this morning by the Los Angeles Off
GERS.

Mr.. Miller of Iowa. Several years ago
w. 3. Miller of this city was one of a
party of knights Templar who went
from California to attend the Conclave
at Kansas City. At that gathering he
met his brother Rome whom he had

Healy says the girl now admits that,
while she did go to Oak Park, it was
only with Bowles, and that she had
been detained by him at his house until
she went to Vallejo a few days ago. -
She has also made a statement de-
failing the circumstances of the alleged
assaults made ON her by Bowles, but as
this statement forms the basis ON
which his guilt or innocence must be
established, it is not deemed proper TO
