Private Lindsay P. Holt, OF Troop F,
Tenth United States Cavalry, now en-
camped at Huntsville. Ala, is resting
under a death sentence, the result of a
recent court martial, at which it was
proved That he was guilty OF murder.
The origin Of Private Hollis trouble
is easiest told in these words: Mean
whiskey and pistol" His best friend
was the victim and this unfortunate's
.remorse is something terrible. This is
the first death sentence passed upon am
enlisted man since the beginning of
the war and for many years previous.
1t is attracting widespread attention.
The order Of execution reads as fol-
lows: IN the foregoing case Of Lind

About a mile east OF Dumbarto

About a mile east OF Dumbarton
Rock, in the Firth Of Clyde dwelling
on piles, or crannog, has been discov-
cred below high water mark, some fifty
yards from the low water mark. It is
1874 feet in circumference, the outer cir
Gle OF piles being OF oak wood, sharp
ened with stone axes. The transverse
beams and floor are of oak, willow,
elder and branches of fir, birch, and
hazel, with bracken (ferns), moss and
chips. In the refuse heaps outside the
crannog were found the bones OF stays,
COWS, sheep. signs of fire, many fire.
stone and milestone or hone. Near
by was a canoe 81 feet long by feet
wide, followed from a single trunk OF
oak. This crannog is the first yet
found in an estuary, and It evidently
dates from the Stone Age; therefore, it
seems earlier than others yet found In
the British Isles.-Public Opinion.

TRoN NlADE HOT WITH wArlER.


One Of the astonishing things de-
veloped through the introduction OF
electricity into everyday affairs is
forge, made for bench use, for the
heating OF soldering irons or light
pieces OF metal for working on the an
vii, where the heating is accomplished
by plunging the article to be heated l
into a tray OF water. Nothing could
be imagined more contradictory OF
ones preconceived ideas than this pro-
cedure, and yet to the electrician It is !
perfectly simple.
He makes the proper connections,
plunges his iron into the water, and
pretty soon the iron will begin to glow
under water and then to turn red or
white hot, just as he desires it for
working. When he gets through work
ing the iron he may p.unge it into the
water again and cool it with 'siss"
as expeditiously as he could in any
other tank of water. This curious
forge is made as follows: The tank is
OF wood, or any other substance, which
will hold water and not form an cleo
trical conductor. One wire Of the cleo
trio circuit passes to-the bottom Of the
tank, where it is connected to plate
Of metal, which lies there Over this
plate, water, preferably saturated with
salt, fills the tank nearly to the top,
and serves to conduct the current to-
whatever object is TO be heated. Moth
ing could be better for this purpose,
for the water naturally closes all about
the object and fits it on every side.
The other end OF the eurrent-conduct-
/ ing wire is fastened to the tongs or
led to a metal framework at the edge.
of the tank on which the tongs OF the
shank Of a soldering iron lie when 1T
Ils to be heated. The moment the CD
ject to be heated is plunged iato the
water a current passes from the water
through the object, and at the same
moment some Of the water is decom-
lposed by electrolytic action. The nj
trogen OF the water becomes electri-
fed and adheres to the object to be
heated and forms a film of gas, which
lseparates the object completely from
the water, while at the same time this
gas forms such an obstruction to the
passage OF the electric current that the
energy Of the current is turned into
heat.
Electric forges of various designs
are coming into use in place Of fires for
many OF the blacksmith's operations.
One of the new ones offered to the
trade is arranged with one Of its cleo
trodes mounted at the end OF an ordi-
nary anvil, while the other elecrode
is swung above, where it can be
drawn down by the pressure Of foot
upon the pedal. The arm above has a
wheel-hke revolving head, and at the
end Of the spolzes OF this wheel are
blocks of metal OF various forms
adapted to fit the objects to be heated.
The blacksmith turns down the form
I that suits his work, presses his foot on
the pedal and watches until he has a
proper heat, and then, releasing the
, arm, forges and finishes his work on
the very anvil where it was heated.
Such clever tools cannot, OF course,
take the place Of the old bellows and
fire for isolated shops, but in factorics
they are rapidly being introduced.

MACEEEZIE'S TRIAL TRIP
TORPEDO BOAT FAILED TO MEET
REQUIREMENTS, so VILE HAVE
ANOTHER TRIAL.

IOntP EDO BOAT tAll1ED 10 MEHcI
REQUIREMENTS, so VILE HAVE
ANOTHER TRIAL.
The official trial Of the torpedo boat
Mackenzie. constructed by the Charles
Hlllman Shipbuildlng Company, took
place yesterday, and, owing TO the fact
that the required speed OF twensy
knots was not attained, another trial
viii be necessary.
The Mackenzie left Kensington yes
terday morning about 8 O'Clock for
the government one-mile trial course,
of this city, and there several pro
gressive tests were given, of six
twelve, fifteen, eighteen and twenty
knots, running the length Of the
course, both with and against the tide
Then a trip to Ship John Light was
made, for the two hour full speed
trial, from 2.3O to 4.30. On this the
vessel made eighteen knots an hour.
The fact that full steam WAS not kept
up is given as the cause Of the failure
to make the required speed of twenty
knots. One Of the blowers broke down
about ten minutes before the trial
ended.
The members Of the trial board Of
the navy, Commander Emory, Lieu
tenants Winterhalter and Sergeant, DR.
Uish, Naval Constructor Smith and
Chief Engineer Hall, left on the re-
turn trip at New Castle, going to Phil
adelphia by rail. Another trial will
probably be given December 10.

That Elopement Case.

Some time since Edward N. Neuphel
eloped with Miss Davidson of Scotch
Ridge. The couple was legally mar.
ried, but the girl was about two months
shy of being eighteen years of age,
hence her mammals consent was neces-
sary. The mother caused the arrest oil
the couple and young Neupher has been
held by Michigan authorities awaiting
requisition papers from Governor Bush
nell.
Mrs. Davidson, in person, presented
the reasons for the prosecution. 1t was
shown that Neupher had committed
perjury, and that he was fugitive from
justice at the time that the couple were
apprehended at Windsor, Canada, but
the Governor simply said, that, since
the couple were married, he did not
think it the act of prudence to prose-
cute the former, and he therefore would
not honor the requisition from the
Michigan governor.
Neupher has been discharged by the
Michigan authorities.

The Best Remedy for Rhenumn,ism.

From the Fairhaven IL. " Register.
Mr.. James Rowland OF this village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has heen a sufferer from rheuma-
tism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read OF Chamberlain's Pain
Balm aud instead of going for the ply
sician he went to the store and secured
bottle Of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowlands purchase at first, but
nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly and in an hours time was able
to go to sleep. She now applies it
whenever she feels an ache or a pain
and finds that it always gives relief.
He says that no medicinewhich she had
used ever did her as much good. The

The ladies OF New York City have de-
termined to get back at the French, on
account of the sympathy of France for
Spain. France ships into this country
about seventy million dollars worth of
millinery and dress goods which the
American laGies purchase. Now the
patriotism OF the American women is
beginning to show itself and they are
forming associations whose members
obligate themselves to purchase no art
icle that comes from France. The
French merchants will find their Span
ish sympathy rather expensive when
the women of America close their
purses to French goods.

NEW POWER HOUSE.

For some time past the Maumee COM
pany has been figuring with the Trac.
tion company relative to the price
charged for the furnishing of power to
the Maumee company. The price
charged has been fraction over 2
cents a thousand watts. The Maumee
company has asked that the price be
changed to fraction over cent a
thousand watts, but this request the
Traction company has refused to con-
slider. This refusal of the Traction
company is what has brought the power
house idea to head. The plant will
cost about s3S, 900.
In regard to the hight between the
two companies, one OF the Maumee Off
cials stated recently that the Traction
company is trying to force the Maumee
company into court. He said that the
case of running the green cars over the
Traction company's tracks was decided
in court about two years ago, and that
the case was carried to the highest
court, which decided in favor of the
Maumee company. This bars the Trac-
tion company from bringing the case
into court again. and the only way II
can be brought into court is by the
Maumee company. The latter doe:
not seem inclined to begin any suits.

1t is not an indication of patriotism
or of courage for dozen fellows to
pounce upon one man and brutally
misuse him, because in their judge
ment, he has shown the white feather.
1t is the view of Governor Pingree, in
which many will concur, that under
existing circumstances, it requires
more bravery for man to face his
comrades and announce desire to
return home, than for him to remain
in camp. The Governor says:
"The man who has dependent
family. mother or sister, should stay al
home and take care OF them. He can
hardly expect to do it on Sl3 a month
TO volunteer into the army is easy fol
man, but it will be hard on depend
ent family.'
