notified Detective Duke, with the result
that the men were arrested. Both men
had in their possession small burglar
kits.

THE CASE OF ADRIAANS.
The Lawyer Withdraws His Charge,
Against District Attorney Davis.


Among the first cases to be taken under
consideration by the Court of Appeals for
the District when it meets today will be
the motion of United States District At
toTney Henry E. Davis, asking for the
disbarment of Attorney John H. Abrams
from practice before that court. The ac-
tion of Mr.. Davis in asking for the disbar-
ment of Mr.. Adriaans is the sesult of false
charges made by the latter against the for
mer in connection with proceeding on a
writ of certiorari, through means of which
the petitioner Adriaans was appealing
from the decision of one of the judges of
the Police Court to the Supreme Court of
the United States. In his affidavit in con-
nection with these proceedings Mr..
Adriaans declared that Mr.. Davis was
using his official position for the purpose
of furthering his personal interests.
The whole proceedings. it will be re-
membered, grew out of Mr.. Adriaans be-
ing found guilty in the Police Court and
being fined 500, which amount he some
time afterward paid.
Mr. Adriaans yesterday filed his answer
to Mr.. Davis motion asking for his dis
barment, and admits the falsity of the
statements he made against the latter.
While Mr.. Adriaans does not admit that
he was duly tried by a judge and iury
in the Police Court, or that the proceed
ing which resulted in his being found
guilty of the offence of trespass were
proper, or that the court had Jurisdiction
over the subjeet-matter; or that the Ian
guage he used in reference TO Mr.. Davis
constitutes a criminal offence under the
laws OF the District, he, however, states
that when he filed in the Police Court the
paper TO which exception was taken by Mr..
Davis he believed that the language con-
tanned therein was true; that the COM
plant was filed in good faith in his own
defence and not for the purpose or with
the intent TO impose or reflect upon Mr..
Davis Since the papers filed in the Police
Court have been stricken from the records,
Adriaans says that upon reading the
affidavit of Mr.. Davis which accompanies
his motion for the disbarment of the re-
spondent from practice before the Court of
Appeals for the District, he is satisfied
that there was no foundation for his
charges against Mr.. Davis in the conduct
of his Office as District Attorney. There
fore, Adriaans withdraws the language
complained Of and disavows the same
In conclusion Mr.. Adriaans states thar
his withdrawal of the language is not done
as means Of defence but in a desire 10
do justice TO Mr.. Davis as a member of
the bar.

GUN TESTED.
Howell's Invention is Said to Work
Satisfactorily.

New York, Jan. 19.-The board OF
Notifications today conducted a test
of the Howell disappearing gun car
riage at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds.
All of the members of the board were
present except General Miles. The car
riage is the invention of Rear Admiral
Howell and is constructed on radically
different lines from the Buffington-Cro-
zier carriage, which is extensively used
by the United States government. The
Howell carriage does not sink the gun
under the ground and ses no pit.
Five shots were fired from a ten
inch gun with regular service charge
of a projectile weighing SIS pounds
and $40 pounds Of powder. The total
time of firing, including the handling
of the gun, was IL minutes and SO sec
onds. Lieutenant Lewis said the test
was successful; that the mechanism
of the carriage had worked well.

ARID LAND ACT IN DISPUTE.
Register of Land Office Hears Evidence
Concerning Points of Law.

Hearing was continued yesterday be-
fore the receiver and register of the
land office in the contest case of ]. c.
Dagle against August Pache, over a
piece of land in Larimer county, town
ship II. section 80 north, in range rs.
The case involves points in the def
milton of "arid lands in the desert
land act. and the decision will materi-
ally affect the future construction OF
the law.
October 10, 1895, Pache filed a claim
to the land in question, about 120 acres
in all, under the desert land act. The
land had been under irrigation since
1882 by the natural flow of a spring sit
uated thereon, and by some bitches run
from a creek near by. Pache had been
in the vicinity of the land since 1893.
He had leased an adjacent ranch, and
had put the land in consideration I'M
der cultivation.
The contest was filed December 25,
1895, by Dagle, who wishes to take up
the land as a homestead. He claims
that as the land produced hay and other
farm products at the time of Pache's
filing the claim, it was not desert land,
and Pache has no title, as he made his
application under the desert land act.

ELECTRICITY IN MINING.
Rapid Strides Have Been Made in the
Last Decade.

For many years it has been acknow-
lodged that electricity can furnish the
power for any kind Of mining work.
AT first it began with signaling, then
blasting, and there was a pause. The
idea Of using electricity as a power for
heavy work seemed absurd when ex-
empliied to the ordinary observer in
a current carried by a little copper
wire, not much bigger than a telegraph
or telephone wire. 1t was in Colorado
that the first applications on a large
working scale were applied, and the
combination Of water power and cleo
tricity was put in practice. The in
stallment at the v1rginius mine is a IA
miliar example.
Now we find electricity employed for
hoisting, pumping, drilling and all the
operations of mining. There was a
hitch about the drill, the gadder and
the coal cutter, but 1t seems to have
BEEN overcome; so that 1T is now safe
to say that there Is nothing done in
mining which can be done by steam
power directly or indirectly by COM
pressed air or wire rop~ transmission
which cannot be done equally we'll by
elictricity-the selection depending up
on difference in first cost, running ex-
penses and maintenance. The strange
thing rs that in some cases electricity
has helped its competitors, as, for ex-
ample, in the combination with air
compressors.
Recently the advances have been
quiet, but in reality revolutionary. In
Ohio and Pennsylvania coal mines cleo
trio cutters have made a place for
themselves, despite the opposition OF
those who desire to maintain hand la
Dor and object to all machinery on gem
eral principles, and the antagonism OF
rival machine systems.
Underground haulage is another
wide field for electricity. The system
Is practically applicable in this direc-
ton, supplantng the clumsy chains,
wire ropes, ETC., and lessening the
chance Of accidents.
OF recent noteworthy plants we now
mention only that of the Colorado
Electric Power company, at Canon
City, a full description Of whose plant
has already been published in the EN-
cheering and Mining Journal"
The advantages Of electric power dis
trtbuted to small consumers are we'll
proved at Cripple Creek. This is a most
important point-the installing OF
small power plants where the mime
owners could MOI afford steam hoisting
anu pumping works.
One great field for electricity In min
ing at present is not in connection with
steam power, or a competition with wire
ropes or air transmission, but where
it can take advantage Of water power
The difference between old and new
conditions Is that formerly the water
power had t be above the point of ap-
plication; now it may be thousands od
feet below. II anyone had dared pro
pose ito a physicist of only a couple ID
generations ago that uhis could be done
the idea would have been pronounced
incredible. Yet here we have a me
chanical paradox in actual working
shape.-Engineering and Mining Jour.
