The uninventiveA Foreigner.

A comparison of the different methods
of doing what is practically the same
thing in various parts of the world is
both interesting and amusing to the
thoughtful observer On American fer
ryboat the import is well known of the
''ting ting" or ''jingle jingle" If the bell
by which the man in the wheelhouse COM
municates with his fellow mortal in the
engine room. On the Thames, however,
it would be considered practically impos-
sible to convey information in this man
ner, and the captains of the small paddle
steamers on that stream stand on the
paddle boxes and sing out, Ease, err
Back err etc., apparently to nobody In
particular, while these interesting re-
marks are promptly repeated in shrill
tones by small boy into a speaking tube
which communicates with the lower re-
gions. On the Seine. in France, this
process is simplifed, and large trumpet
shaped mouthpiece flares ont in front of
the man at the wheel and he yells his
commands into this funnel, the other end
of which is supposed to reach the en-
gineer. The large steamers on the
Rhine, in Germany, are controlled, not
house forward, but by a very large wheel
on a vertical axis, placed right amidships
upon an elevated platform or bridge, and
several men pass the handles from right
to left, or upon occasion trot around in
a circle, and it would doubtless be consid-
cred a serious temptation of providence.

TOWNSEND rs GUILTY.
Jury Convicts Him of Manslaughter
in the Fourth Degree at
Lancaster.

Lancaster, Wis, May 49, Special. i
The attorneys in the Townsend murder
ease closed their argument yesterday aft
ernoon. The judges charge was given
just before supper. 1t permitted any
one Of three verdicts-murder in the first
degree, manslaughter in the fourth de-
gree or acquittal. AT $3.50 D. m. the
jury gave a. verdict Of manslaughter in
the fourth degree and recommended the
seyerest sentence the judge could give.
Judge ClementSOn denied Mr.. Bren-
mans motions for arrest of Judgment and
new trial. and sentenced Townsend to
two years III the state prison at hard
labor and one day solitary confinement.
Sheriff aMcGonigal took him to Wau-
pun today
Mark w. Townsend was born and
brought up in this county, where his
mother and relatives still live and are
highly respected. His wife, for whose
death he wasseonvicted Of manslaughter,
was instantly killed by the discharge Of
revolver in the hands of her husband,
the ball entering the back of the head
and coming out at the left eye. He says
he was cleaning the revolver when it ac-
cidentally went off. The jury returned
a verdict of accidental death. The COM
munity was greatly shocked at the time,
and the findings Of the jury were much
criticized, but there was nothing 70 dis
prove Townsend's story until few
weeks ago. .
About eight years ago Townsend moved
to Adams county, state of Washington.
He taught school there, became we'll
known in educational circles, took up two
pieces of government land and tried farm
ing. In time he married Miss Mary Wat
son, who before long complained to her
family of her husbands brutal treatment.
Last summer she instituted divorce pro-
ceedings and a fierce feud sprang up be-
tween Townsend and members of the
Watson family. The court granted her
divorce and gave her the custody of her
two children. Since the divorce was
granted Townsend has made threats re-
peatedly against the lives of the Watson
family, and has further threatened to use
dynamite against them. He had her
brothers arrested recently for defending
her against his attacks. A letter from his
old home gave the Watsons their first
knowledge of his Wisconsin history and
they began an investigation which result
ed in his arrest and extradition to Wis
consin on charge of murder.
Miss Musetta Woods, who claimed
that Townsend had made love to her and
wanted to marry her, was the principal
witness for the state. Her testimony
was to the effect that Townsend had adj
mitted getting away" with his first

JUDGE WANTS HIMSELF INDICTED
Says it is Reported that He was
Drunk.

Chattanooga, Tenn. May 2O.-Judge
Estill of this (the Fourth Tennessee)
judicial circuit, who has heretofore borne
a reputation for fearlessness, at the as
sembling of court fairly took away the
breath of the bar and spectators with
astonishment by a supplementary charge
of the grand jury. Summoning that
body into his presence he thus addressed
himself to the foreman, Sam Morgan:
"Mr. Foreman, [ understand that you
bave in your possession information that
the judge of this court was intoxicated
at the last term of court. If such is a
fact it is your duty to indict the judge
of this court for drunkenness"
II have heard it said,'' falteringly re-
piled Foreman Morgan, ''that you were
drunk at that time"
''Then, Mr.. Foreman said the judge,
sit is your plain duty to indict this court
and / instruct you to do so, if there is
sufficient evidence to warrant you in so
finding"
Il did not know said the foreman.
''that we had a right to indict the court"
81 charge you," said Judge Estill, in a
commanding voice, ''to investigate the
matter thoroughly and if there is one
particle Of ground upon which you can
do so, to bring in an Indictment against
the Judge of this court. Your duty is
nlain and do not Shirk it"

CLAIM WILL NOT HOLD.
Appointments to the Board of AgricuI-
ture Are Valid.

Madison, Wis, May 18.-[Special. i
The claim made by some of the news
papers that the appointments of Assem-
blymen Jesse Stone of Watertown and
John NJ True of Baraboo ON the new
state board of agriculture, are invalid
because those gentlemen were members
of the Legislature which created the
board, do not cause any apprehension in
the governors office that the appoint
ments are not valid. Gov. Scofeld sat
isfed himself ON the point now raised be-
fore he made fhe appointments. The
constitutional provision on the subject is
section II of article 4, which provides
that mo member of the Legislature
shall, during the term for which he was
elected, be appointed or elected to any
civil office in the state which shall have
been created, or the emoluments of which
shall have been increased, during the
term for which he was elected"
ence is plainly that the provision was
there is salary attached, and that the
repayment by the state of actual ex-
penses, which is the only compensation
given members of the board. does not
mean an 'emoIument." The same ques-
ton has arisen In several previous cases
in which the same decision was reached,
a recent one being that of State Senator
Timme who two years ago was appoint
ed on the Chickamauga commission, Gre
ated by the Legisla ture Of which he was
a member; another is that of Hugh
Price, who was a member of the state
Senate when the Worlds fair commits
sion was appointed, and who was APP
pointed q member Of that commission.

THREE CHILDRED BURNED.

They Were Locked in the House for Safe
Keeping.
Shawano, Wis, May 1S.-While Mar
tin Wicks was burning brush on his farm
Sunday afternoon he took with him his
wife and left their three children, aged &,
5 and 4 years, locked in the house to
keep them safe from mischief. Return
ing later in the afternoon they found
their home a mass of ruins and their
children burned. The bodies were almost
destroyed and were only identified by the
sizes.
1t is supposed the house caught fire
from the burning Of brush in that Vi
entity. There have been frequent forest
fires lately which have spread very rap
idly. The Wicks farm is almost COM
pletely isolated in the town of Richards
and farm buildings were completely de-
stroyed before help could be given. The
parents are crazed with grief and are
being cared for by the neighbors.
Brodhead, Wis, May Especial. j
The barns sheds, shop and other builu-
ings on the John Clark place were to-
tally destroyed by fire yesterday after
noon. One horse was burned to death.
The old gentleman was severely burned
on the hands, and on account Of his ad-
vanced age is in critical condition.
The fire started from the ashes from Mr..
Clark's pipe. There was no insurance.

The fire started in the large barn and

the flames and they were soon beyond the
control of those present on the farm. 1t

STRATTON SETTLES SUITS.
Pays 100000 to j. Maurice Finn
and Others-Based on "Grub-
Stake Claims.

Denver, Col, May 20.-The famous
lawsuits of Popejoy ct al. VS.. Stratton,
involving $25000,000 of mining property
on Battle Mountain, in the very heart
of the Cripple Greek district, came to an
end at Colorado Springs by a voluntary
settlement on the part of w. S. Stratton.
In April, 1891, Mr.. Stratton was grub
staked" by Leslie w. Popejoy for a pros
pecting tour into Cripple Creek, which
was then just beginning to attract atten-
ton. StrattOn was so poor that he had
Springs and carry his pack. On July 4
he located the famous independence,
which has since produced several mil
lions in gold, and is now rated as one
of the RICHEST mines in all the West.
Several weeks after this Stratton re-
turned to Colorado Springs and pur-
chased Popejoy's interest, giving his
note for S247 in payment. Three years
later, while the Bull Hill strike was go
ing on, he read in the papers of Million
aire Stratton's famous Independence
mine. He at once started an investiga-
ton and learned sufficient to lead him to
believe that StrattOn had discovered the
ore body before he had been induced to
sell his interest; that StrattOn had mis-
represented the facts to him, and that he
had been swindled in the transaction.
He therefore brought suit against
StrattOn for One-half interest in the
property. The cases of j. Maurice Finn
formerly of Michigan and Charles Bou-
ward were for a one-twelfth and one-siXth
interest in the Portland No. 2, another
exceedingly rich piece of ground. These
cases had been in the courts for over two
years, and the settlement of them with
out coming to trial furnishes one of the
most important suits based on grub
stake" claim in the history of the state.
The sum paid by Mr.. Stratton to have
the cases withdrawn was 100000.
Mr.. Stratton is sole owner of the In
dependence, for which an English syndi-
cate two years ago offered $4,000, 900.
He is also one of the principal owners in
the Portland, which pays 1 per cent.
per month on $3,OO0,O0O of capital, and
owner of the Gold Crater, Portland No.
2, Black Diamond. Gold King, and
others. Nothwithsta nding his unparal-
leled good fortune in mining, he is un-
fortunate in another direction. He is
almost monomaniac upon the subject
of Christian Science, and finds himself
constantly in hot water by taking the
advice of a horde of alleged healers and
prophetesses. Mr.. Stratton is the gentle
man who created a sensation during the
last presidential campaign by offering to
bet 100000 on Mr.. Bryan and then
'hunked" after a party of New Workers
had deposited in bank the sum necessary
to ''call" the bluff"
