Tonight, in Elmer E. vauce's big
new production, ''Patant Applied For"
is realistic ship scene where the YES
sci, "The Savannah" encounters a
fearful gale just as she clears from the
city, in whose honor she is named. The
big ship is tossed on the crest of the
giunt waves, the sails are torn to shreds
by the whistling win IS, and it is de-
cidedly weird in its vivid realism.
The wind is produced by Sturtevant
Blower, of 5000 pounds pressure,
worked by a ten horsepower engine,
and, strange as it may appear, at the
exact moment that this scene was
being presented ia Columbus, making
allowance for the difference in time,
the real "City of Savannah" making
the same trip so vividly represented in
this play. was in exrctly the same
straits during the awful storm which
prevailed on that night. tits certainly
wonderful coincidence, and Manager
Vauce's represen tative, Mr.. Chappelle.
is ready TO swear that Vance's 5000
pound pressure blower was responsible
for the entire cyclonic disturbance.

TUESDAY. MARCH 1. 1899

STAND by the President, and wait.
That is the platform upon which Con-
gress is standing, and 1t is good enough
for everybody else to adopt. And
while waiting, refuse to accept as true
any sensational story that will not
stand the test of common sense That
test will effectually dispose of all the
fool stories that have been printed pur-
porting to give what has been ascert-
aimed by the Naval court of inquiry
now engaged in investigating the
Maine horror. Here are the absolute
facts: The court upon starting to
work decided that nothing would be
made public until uhe investigation
was completed and verdict reached,
and no persons excepting the members
of the court, and those working under
its direction, who are not allowed to
communicate with outside persons, is
allowed upon the wreck of the Maine,
or even to get within hundred feet of
it. 1t is perfectly plain, therefore,
that what is printed about the progress
of the investigation is mere guess-work,
and unworthy of anybody's serious at
tention. When the verdict of the court
is given the President and Congress
will act upon it, and the action will be
approved by every patriotic American.
II is not ease calling for Mysteries,
but for calm consideration. While the
administration is not looking for war
with Spain, it is preparing for it's, in
fact already better prepared for war
than many persons have any ideB Of
But everything is being done and will
be done in order. No snap judgment
will be taken against Spain because of
suspicious circumstances or because of
the known expressions of hatred
towards Americans in general and
towards the battleship Maine in par
ticular by the Spaniards in Havana,
but If that verdict shall be that the
Maine was blown up by Spanish treach-
cry, with or with out the knowledge
of Spanish officials. woe be unto Spain,
for she will be made to pay dearly for
the lives of those brave Americans.

A NEW HALF-BREED.
Part Horse and Part Zebra and Is
Called n ZebrOid.

Part Horse and Part Zebra and Is
Called n Zebroid.
The mule, snys Cosmos, partakes Of
the qualities of the ass and the horse.
The zebra having now been domesti-
Gated, 1t hns been asked whether we
can obtain from it an analogous half
breed. Baron de Parana has obtained
one and calls it the "zebroid." The
young animal is now six months old /;
II is a male of n bay color with stripes
similar to those of the zebra. These
stripes are well marked on the neck,
the head and the legs; those of the body
are not visible, because of the thick
winter coat. The name is black and
resembles that of the zebra; the tail
looks like mules, but has longer hair.
The ears are small with rounded points
like the zebra's. The haunch is well
formed, rounded, and quite large; the
chest is long and high, which makes the
animal hold it's head high, and conse-
quently gives it good carriage. The
eyes are large and full of feeling; the
nostrils large; the lips small and much
like those of Arab horses (the mare
the mother of this zebroid, was one
quarter Arab; the head is small; the
legs muscular, but delicate, showing
that he will be very agile; the hoofs
small, black and very hard. Heis very
lively. but very gentle, and loves to be
caressed. He eats very well, not only
in the stall, but IN pasture. These
facts, we are told, are from communi-
cation made by the breeder to the Ma
tional Acclimation society, which is
shortly to be presented with set of
photographs of the new creature. D..

THE LOBDELL FRANCHISE.
Second Street Property Owners Much In

terested In the Proposition.
The proposition now before Council
to grant the Marietta Electric Com
pany the right to haul freight cars at
night to the plants Of John Becker, the
Marietta Chair Company and E. ]. Lob.
dell is receiving considerable attention
from residents on Second street above
Patnam. 1t is proposed, as has already
been stated in the Leader, to build a
track from Second street west on Sacra
Via to Allen street, ON the bank of the
Muskingum, and thence to Mr. Lobdelps
plant on Montgomery street; also to
connect the street railroad track at
Putnam street with the steam railroad
track on Butler street, permission be-
ing granted to haul freight cars over
this track between the hours of 10 p.
m. and 8 a. m. Steam cars or locomo
tiyes are prohibited.
Monday afternoon several members
OF Council, together with Mr.. Lobdell,
q number Of Second street residents
and the Lobdeil soliciting committee,
met at the Office of City Solicitor Rich
ards to discuss the matter. Mr.. Lob
dell stated that 1t would be necessary
in the event of his rebuilding here, for
him to have direct railroad connections,
which fact justified him in asking for
the franchise. 1t is understood that
the Electric Company is not making
the request for the extensions, but has
simply agreed to haul Mr.. Lobdell's
freight at a cer tain price per car II he
is successful in securing the franchise.
Several leading property owners on
Second street object to the granting OF
the franchise, mainly through fear OF
eneroachment by the steam railroads,
which, in Marietta, have never been
known to relinquish hold once OBJ.
tanned.
In order to arrive at an amicable ad-
justmeut meeting of property owners
has been called for the City Hall at two
o'clock this afternoon. 1t is to be
hoped that a large number will be
present, as the ordinance will come up
for disposal at the Council meeting to-
night.

RuRRos FOR JAPAN.
A BiE bunch OF Them to De Shipped
from Oregon Ranges.


Not long ago, when w. L. Powell and
A. ]. Powell were riding through Wal
Iowa county to buy horses they noticed
on the range numerous herds of burros.
They hunted up the owner, a hotel man
at Elgin, says the Portland Orcgonian-
what do you want for those bur-
rosP" asked one of the Powella
The owner fixed no price, but would
sell.
"I'll give you $3.50 q head and round
them up myself or six dollars n head,
you to deliver them at the corrals."
A contract was made on the latter
basis for 600 head. The owner found
the Job Of collecting those burros big
one. They were wild and free and OBJ
jeeted to captivity. Since August last
from six TO ten men have been busy
with lariats, and they have just finished
the work. When bunch of six or
seven were captured their heads were
tied together and they were released
until wanted. Nearly 1000 head many
OF them young jacks, were at last
rounded up and delivered. The Powells
took them all. They will be shipped to
Seattle, and the majority are destined
for japan to be used there as pack ami
mails. Some go to the Klondilse, how
ever. The younger ones will be re-
leased by the Powells on the ranges
near Prosser, Wash, to further in
crease and multiply.
A dozen years or so ago the pack train
of an emigrant outfit, consisting of bur-
ros, was turned loose in Wallowa valley.
From these ancestors sprang the 1000
head that now comprise the novel
shipment of the powells.

carriage horses, all from five to ten
years old. Eleven of the finest of these
are reserved especially for the use of
the empress. Six of them are brown
trakchnes and are for carriage use, and
the others are broken to saddle.
The horses are entered in the stables
when they are FIVE years old and are
trained half yean before they are
used. The requirements are hard.
They must he snowy and fiery, be per-
feet in action and still be as gentle rs
lambs. They must be broken to the
noises and traffic of city streets, to
troops and to hot infantry and artil-
lery fire, and must be taught, in addi-
tion, to remain perfectly unmoved
when there is loud shouting from the
great crowds al around them.
The empress was poor horsewoman
when she was married, but since then
she has ridden almost daily. She has a
special stallmeister who rides with her.
He is beautiful creature in red coat
embroidered with gold, white riding

dinary occasions, such as the daily
pleasure drives of the empress, she has
coachman, two outridcrs and one
mounted man ahead. For festal occa-
sions, even though she be alone in the
carriage, six great black traltehnes
draw her carriage. The leaders are rid
den by men in handsome livery.
In paradcs she rides q great gelding

Comets to Appear.
The London Globe says.that number
of comets will appear in the skies dur
ing the year 1893. The Pons Winnecke
comet should open the list by appear
ing in April, after an absence Of about
5k years. In May the celebrated Encke
comet is due. This comet has period
of only 81 years, and It's frequent reap
pearance has been the means ofastrono-
mers discovering great deal about
comets and their wanderings through
space. In June we should have two of
these cosmical visitors--Swift's and
Wolfe's comets-the former after an sb-
sence of six years and the latter trife
longer. Temples comet completes the
visitors list by arriving IN September.
These comets are all regular visitors.

their arrivals may be timed almost to
