The principal feature Of the hypnotic
entertainment at the Grand last night was
the circus. DR.. Flint saved one of the
most amusing Of his experiments until near
the close OF the week. The subjects were
made to imagine that they We're star per-
formers in the ring. and they went through
the most difficult feats with the greatest
Of ease-high and lofty tumbling. Japan
csc juggling bareback riding. etc The
effect on the audience was indescribabe.
Handkerchiefs were used freely to wipe
away tears. but they were tears Of laugh
ter. The other features on the programme
were very interesting, and DIR. Flint and
his accomplished daughter were rewarded
with generous applause throughout the
evening. The engagement will close to-

Whatever is not seized by the pckers will be car
ried 10 the inclined belt. and In half a minute or
less will reach the crematory. There a hot ire

series OF incined CRATES, to insure thorough
combustion. 1t is provided with both natural and
forced draught and there is system Of pipes which
will prevent the carrying OF any large particles Of
burned material into the tall stack through which
the smoke will pass. 1t is believed that the ap-
paratus will be no more Objectionable 10 the people
Of the neighborhood than the factories that abound

No attempt will be made to bring refuse from all
parts OF the city TO this crematory; the cost Of
hauling II would be too great. IL the plan proves
successful, however 1t Is expected that similar
establishments will be provided elsewhere, so as 10

ABSORBING THE RUBBISH.
COMMISSIONER WARNINGS NEW PLANT
NEARLY READY FOR USE.

The new plant Of the Street Cleaning Depart
ment for the assortment OF the rubbish OF the city
is nearly completed, and will be put in operation
within few days-possiby before the end OF the
present week The work is so far advanced that
the first trial of the machinery made last Tues
day but It found necessary TO adjust num-
Der of de tas and make some changes, and 1t VIII
taxi few days more TO add The finishing touches
and to see that all Is working smoothly. So far
as tried, the apparatus gives satisfaction and ods
fair to accomplish its purpose fully.
When the system introduced by Commissioner
Warning is perfected, and the people OF New-fork
educated to the point OF cooperating win
STRENGTHENING powers. all refuse will be handled In
three classes-(D garbage, which Is cremated' W
ashes which are used fer fling-in. thus adding TO
the citys real estate and 90 all other things mat
can be grouped together under the head Of waste.
II is the third class that is now being provided Tor.
and the plan is to pick over carefully taking out
whatever has a salable value. while the rest Is
burned
The asserting apparatus and crematory are to
be found east of Avenue b. between Seventeenth st.
and Eigh ,eenth-st. A large furnace stands on one
end inclosed In brick walls. The top Is perhaps
fifteen feet from the ground On one side, Inclined
at an angle OF about twenty Ave thirty degrees
Is an endless canvass belt running over rollers. The
length Of the incline Is about thirty feet and the
belt is twice long. Stretching away on level for
distance of eighty feet from the foot Of the in
cline Is a similar belt at height OF !hree or four
fee, from the ground. The belts male of cam
vas treated with waterproof solution. When
they are In operation the level belt travels at the
rate OF forty feet minute while the inclined one
moves nearly sixty feet in minute. The point
where the level belt terminates Is directly over the
inclined one. and whatever material passes along
the former falls on the latter and Is carried I'D
TO the mouth Of the furnace.
At the further end Of the level belt IL the place
where the rubbish Is dumped and placed on the
belt On each side OF the travelling table as Il
may be- called dozen or fifteen men will be sta
toned. The duty OF these pickers will be to assor
the stun brought In by the carts as It passes besor,
them on the canvas. and take out whatever l.
valuable In the way OF bottles cans old shoes, ole
rubbers and the thousand and one other thing,
that make up the rubbish thrown away from da,
10 day by the people of the city. Each picker vii
have certain things to look for. and win not con

JUDGE WHEELER'S DECISION.
UNDER 1T THE CITY MAY HAVE TO PAY
MANY MILLIONS on PATENTS.

The decision OF Judge Wheeler, OF the United
States Court which gave a judgment OF over SiS.oO
against the city for the infringement OF paten, Of
a relief valve used for thirty years by the Fire De-
partment came upon the city authorities almost
like A clan OF thunder from a clear sky. such a
conclusion of the suit was unexpected, for Judge
Wheeler held that the city was liable not only for
the INFRINGEMENT but must pay damages 10 Camp
bell the owner OF the patent, equal TO the amount
Of the patented article.
Controller Fitch who has uniformly opposed pur-
chasing a patented article for the c.y's unless
the owner OF the patent gave bonds TO protect the
city from all damages for infringing the patent said
yesterday that nobody could tell where Judge
Whecler's decision would land the city. The DAM
ages which may be piled up In various cases In
which suits are pending might reach many millions
II the plaintiffs won
The trouble is that the contingent liability does
not end with pending suits Patented articles have
been purchased for use In the departments from
which trouble may result for the city Other suits
have been brought for Infringement OF patents
amounting In the aggregate to $io,00o0Qo or So The
case OF the patent on self-dumping boat. the u
United States Navy, is one in point As soon -
the boat was ordered oy the Street Cleaning Com,
missioner the manutacturers OF similar vessel
served notice the Mayor Controller and Corpora.

have not yet brought suit Nobody can predict
what the outcome OF the Campbell case Will have

and will probably remain there leaving the
main sea wall clear for the Brooklyn, which is
expected at the yard on Friday. The presenta-
ton OF her silver service is to be made on Sat
urday, and the ship Is under orders to leave
the yard on the following day.
MR. ROOSEvELT'S INVESTIGATION
Assistant Secretary Roosevelts investigation
into the charges Of favoritism and politics in
the employment Of labor at the yard ended late
on Friday afternoon. and, according to all the
signs and flourish of trumpets with which some
OF the men announced that they were going to
turn things inside out will be an extremely
small and feeble squeak when the result of the
investigation is made known. Although Il was
announced that three days would be required
TO go over all the complaints, the Assistant Sec
rotary disposed Of them all in two days al
though this required sessions uncommonly late
for the Navy Yard. The officers interested are
not losing any sleep over the affair and 1t is not
believed that any changes in the present system
will be made.
Lieutenant A. c. Dillingham; has answered
charges which were made concerning him. and
from which it thought there would be a
court martial. The explanation made by the
lieutenant has been accepted as satisfactory by
the Secretary, who has decided that no court
shall be ordered In the case.
RETIREMENTS AND CHANGES
IN the course Oh the next TWO months Admiral
Brown, the senior officer Of the Navy. and Com
modore Phythian, the third ranking commodore.
both retire under the age limit. Commodore
Phythian, however, does not stand near enough
the top to benefit by Admiral Browns retirement.
and, therefore, unless he can get two vacancies
before July 81, when he goes out he Will never
reach the rear admrals grade. Admiral Miller
and Commodore Norton are said to be willing TO
retire In order to assist Phythian. IL Commodore
Phythian viii make good to them the difference
in pay between what they would draw in their
respective grades on the active list from July q
until retired-Miller In November 1895 and Nor
ton on August 10, 1898. Commodore Phythian
is said 10 be willing to make such an arrange
ment and Admirals Miller and Norton are ex-
pected TO accede. II this plan is effected Adj
miral Miller will return home Immediately after
the ceremonies In London. ask to be retired. and
have his request granted Thereupon Commo-
dore Norton, who will then be the senior commo-
dore will advance also one grade leaving Ply
THAN at the top OF the commodore's list until his
retirement Should Admiral Miller however. be
compelled to remain In London until late in July
the plan would miscarry, but 1t has been ar
ranged now with view to his returning early
In the month. This Is likely. as the Brooklyn
has been ordered home after the Jubilee cere-
monies. Commodore Dewey, at any rate seems
slated 10 command the Pacific station carly In
the summer.
