and several wounded. The forces of

SPANISH DEFEATED.
New YORK, Aug. ia dispatch
to the Herald from Havana says
official information has reached
Havana of a decisive battle between
troops and insurgent forces in Matan-
zas. According to this information
the Spanish troops were routed after
q hard battle with heavy looses. This
news caused a vertiable sensation in
Havana, as it is generally Known that
captain General Weyler is now in
Matanzas, aad there is belief that
the Spanish troops directly under
him were those which suffered defeat
at the hands of the rebels. However,
If this is true, ,theSpanish officials here
have taken great pains to suppress
the fact.
Then, too, the knowledge in some
quarters that General Gomez is due in
Matanzas at about this time with a
large body of insurgents added to the
interest in the battle. While there is
no good cause to believe in question:,
there has for some time been SEEM
ingly well-founded belief in Havana
that Generals Weyler and Gomez
would meet In ManUanZaS.
The Spanish loss in troops and Off
GERS was greater than in any recent
battle. The Spanish troops were COM
pelled to give way before the rebels,
leaving many dead upon the field.
There seems to be considerable con-
tern in the palace here about the
result of 1.-The battle. While the Of
iicials will not talk, the Herald cores
pondent has learned that detach-
,nents of Cuban cavalry have been
pouring into Mantanzas from Santa
Clara province, and, according to

DEATH OF SENATOR EARLE.

Every whore the news of Scua
tor Earle's death was received
with great sadness and deep regret
and everybody seemed ready to ex.
press sympathy for his family in
their bereavement. The death of
Senator Earle comes with peculiar
sorrow and puts an end to the
hopes and bright anticipations ot
his friends and admirers. as his
intellect had reached point nca1
the zenith and was expected tc
shine in fullest light and splendor,
when it was rem owed. But grim
death claimed tho victim and
South Carolina was deprived of the

ton Of honor and trust.

Not Enough for Two,

Patrick was the captain of a brick
schooner that piled between New York
and Haverstraw on the Hudson. One
day his schooner was loaded, ready to
start for New York. But Patrick new
er gave the word to the crew to cast
off the hawsers and get under way.
Instead, he sat lazily swinging his leg
over the spokes of the wheel, smoking
his pipe. The owner of the brick ward
who vas also the owner of the schoon-
er, seeing that the vessel had not start
ed, and wishing to have the load land
ed in New York as soon as possible
rushed down to the dock and iratelv
demanded of Patrick why he did not
get under way.

R HIM OVER.
Machine That Shifts an Old Man in His
BED.

~
The San Francisco Examiner tells
about a man who has invented an ap-
paratus to turn him over in bed. The
man is Walter Hyde. He lives in Ala
media, Cal. Mr.. Hyde is quite old and
is troubled with an incomplete circu-
lation of the blood, causing sleepless-
ness. II he remains in one position
long a mild form of paralysis follows
and he cannot sleep at all. Mr.. Hyde
concluded that if he had some mechan-
lcal means to turn himself over hourly
at night he could go to sleep and not
be under the necessity of awakening.
Being somewhat of a mechanical turn
OF mind, Mr.. Hyde concluded to ex-
pertinent. The result of his tinkering
and thinking is the mechanical con-
trlvance which hourly turns over
without awakening him from his
slumbers and which he says works
so charmingly that his paralysis with
accompanying sleeplessness is a thing
OF the past. The frame on which the
mattress rests hangs from the bedstead
by means of pinions, one at the head
and the other at the foot. The frame
is kept in position by being secured
at the sides to a clock-like apparatus
with cogs and levers to tilt the mat
tress frame, the motion of the rocking
being governed by the clock ana s,ring
apparatus. The fitting of the frame
is so nicely graduated that the sleeper
is unconscious of the change but con-
tlnues undisturbed in his nights sleep.
as the mechanism attached to the
frame automatically changes his posi-
ton during the hour to the right or the
left side as the case may be.

Mysteries of Hellum,

AS further experiments are carried
with the new gas called helium-
which vas recognized in the sun be-
fore it had been found on the earth
the more remarkable it appears. Many
chemists believe it consists of two
gases, yet they have not been able
satisfactorily to divide it. Professor
Ramsay, one of it's discoveries. has
failed in every attempt to make it en-
ter into a chemical combination: Lord
Rayleigh has found that it possesses
by far the lowest %refractivity ever OBJ
served in any gas, and surprise is ex
pressed at the astonishing distances
traversed by electric sparks in dart.
ing through helium.

New Workers are making an attempt
to secure the passage of a law limiting
the height of buildings. Architects and
health experts have been giving testi-
mony to a committee of the board of
trade with a view to ascertaining where
the limit ought to be put. The chief of
the fire department said it was impos-
sible to fight fires in buildings more
than 125 feet high. But the newest
and strongest testimony against the
high building was furnished by Charles
S. Wilson, president of the board of
health. II find" said he, that above
a height of seventy feet the air in big
cities is full of smoke and gas, and
necessarily unhealthy. Then it is diff
ficult to get good water up to the high
floors of the big buildings, to say moth
ing of the dangers by fire and col
lapse"
