Judge George NJ. Harrison handed
down the opinion in the case of Napier
against the Prison Association of Vir.
ginia. This is an appeal from the
judgment of the Circuit Court of the
City of Richmond and that judgment
is affirmed. This was a writ of error
to judgment in babeas corpus pro-
ceediug, which held that Thos. n. Ma.
pier was legally detained by the Prison
Association of Virginia. The plaintiff
contends that he was entitled to trial
in the Hastings Court in the same man.
ner as if he had been indicted for the
offepse charged, and that be has never
been legally convicted of any crime in
that court, and that being without
parent or legal guardian to consent to
his commitment before conviction, he
cannot be lawfully committed until
after conviction. This court is of the
opinion that the Hastings Court had
the power 10, in its discretion, commit
the accused to the reformatory before
conviction. That power is only limited
when the accused has parents or guar
dians to give consent. In that event
such consent must be obtained.

doesn't indicate that the man who H.
troduced it thinks that prosperity mas

Offering that bill. If prosperity
had returned nobody would OBJECT 10

ance ofits doing so, many people 90 Cd

A FIEND.-Charles Z,noli, fifty. one
years old, was arrested in New York
yesterday afternoon on the charge of
grand larceny and forgery. The com.
plainant in the case is the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company. The charge
is technical one, and was made sim.
ply for the purpose OF holding the pris-
oner. Zanoli is suspected of murder,
not one murder, but three at least.
Two of the supposed victims were Ia.
noli's wives. Since 1883 the man has
been married five times. Four Of his
wives are dead. and each Of these was
insured. Besidos this, Zanoli buried q
man under his own name and then col
lected the insurance on bis own life.
Zanoli was arraigned in police court
again to-day and was remanded until
tomorrow to give the detectives on
the case time to investigate the record,
and ascertain whether the lives of all
the people, whose insurance Zanoli OBJ.
tanned, were lost through natural
causes.
When Eanoli was searched yesterday
81 900 in bills and bank book with
an account OF $500 in it were found on
him. He also had q revolver, which
he said be carried to protect himself
against some one who had threatened
to kill him. He refused to tell the
name of this person.

house was watched aud an electric bell

Mrs. Bonai could inform Officer Arnold

lieved that Mrs. Bonai is trying to save

Dickens and the x Raw.

An amusing instance of anticipa-
ton of the penetrating character of
the so-called X rays has been discov-
cred, says the Electrical Review, in a
most unlikely place-that is, in Dickens
christmas Carol" It will be remem-
bered that when the miser, Scrooge,
sees the ghost of his former partner
Marley. entering the room, Marley's
body appears to be transparent, so that
Scrooge can see clear through him and
discern the two buttons on the back Of
his coat. 1t may be presumed that Mar.
ley wore the old-time blue coat with
brass buttons, and that flesh and blood
became transparent when metal but
tons would not. 1t is now in order for
the Society of Psychical Research to
try the x rays for the detection of
ghosts, but if they are successful thew
must give the credit to Dickens.

A Definite Vacuum Is Now Held Upon All
Fires.


One of the most remarkable changes
noted at present in the manufacturing
industry is the giving up of the Chin
ney to produce draught, and though, of
course, a chimney offers so simple and
efficient a means Of making the reQui-
site draught for the fire, it is stated that
in one Of the large works of England
locality not mentioned-chimneys have
been discarded and definite vacuum is
held upon all fires. In this way the
products of combustion and destructive
distillation which result from the burn
ing of coal and carbonaceous matter are
collected, cooled, condensed and worked
up. One of the methods noted as at
tracing attention in Germany consists
in sucking the gases of the furnaces
away and allowing them to pass
through water in the form of small bub-
bles, which removes the SCOT and some
of the products of combustion, the gases
being then led to a gasometer, from
which they are drawn into the process
of utilization. A manufacture of this
kind, it is urged, can easily extend pipes
in any direction and draw the gases of
combustion from their manufacturers
the publication of the atmosphere
thus assured being another important
result.

AN UNCOMFORTABLE MAN.
Hundreds Witness His Writings and
Show No Pity.


Show No Pity.
On narrow platform, close to the
glass roof of Hammerstein's Olympia
roof garden, may nightly be seen, says
the New York Herald, one of the most I'M
comfortable men in New York. He is
the man who operates the calcium
lights which play upon the stage. He
has barely room to stand up, so he
kneels most of the time and stares at the
stage before him.
Below are persons trying to look so
cool and comfortable that the sight of
them must be a perpetual aggravation.
They sit and laugh and talk, and take
no notice of the uncomfortable fellow
perched high aloft and yet in fulfxiew.
He is there for four hours every night.
He shifts about and occasionally stands
up in his endeavor to get the kinks out
of his legs. He sits, kneels and some
times leans back against the big iron
girder behind him. He sees the show
over and over again. He listens to the
endless splash of the water on the crys-
tai roof and sees the same little come
dies nightly enacted around the round
tables beneath.
Sometimes a sign of human interest
is shown in a bending forward as some
woman with a more towering hat than
usual, or boy with more resplendent
hat band than common parades through
the garden.
