WHO INVENTED THE MARINE
STEAM-ENGINE?

SIEA M bINblNE
The invention of the marine steam en-
CINE has vast number of claimants
One looks around the crowd bewildered.
IF may, with the utmost modesty, ven
ture an opinion, l should say that the
first man to give practical and useful
form to the idea of driving wooden
hull by steam machinery was Syming-
ton, who, in 1901, fitted up steamboat
at the instance of Lord Dundas for the
Forth and Clyde Canal company. She
den of hundred and forty tons, at the
rate of three miles and a quarter per
hour. in the teeth of a strong breeze
Justice should be done to John Fitch,
however an American, who so early as
1884 had obtained rights to run steam
boats on the waters of Virginia and Ma
ryland. His partner was one Rumsey.
Afterwards the states of Pennsylvania
and New York granted Fitch exclusive
rights in the use of their waters. His
boat was of nine tons, and his engine
for want Of money, and died by his own
hands in 179S. One who knew him says
he could think of nothing but his steam
boat, and he fell into rags and broken
boots through wandering about talking
of her. The same authority says that
he met him at the house of boat-build-
er, man named Wilson, with whom
was associated his blacksmith, Peter
Brown, where, after indulging himself
for some time in his never-fa falling topic
of deep excitement he concluded with
these memorable words: well, gentle
men, though / shall not live to see the
time, you will, when steamboats, will be
preferred to all other means of convey
ance, and especially for passengers and
they will be particularly useful in the
of the river Mississippi"
He then retired on which Brown, turn
ing to Wilson, exclaimed in a tone of
deep sympathy, Poor fellow! what
pity he is crazy!"--Pall Mall.

tate not exceeding one-thrd of its
value.
Having considered the property re-
lations of a wife during her husband $
life, / will now pass to her rights as
widow in his estate, both real and per-
sonal.
First, as to dover. In Connecticut
widow married before April 20, 1877,
has a one-third interest for life in all
the real estate held in fee of which
her husband died possessed. Such is
the case unless an adequate marriage
settlement has been made in her favor
by her husband before marriage or un-
less the husband and wife have enter
ed into an agreement bringing them
within the operation of the statute of
1877, or unless provision has been
made for her in her husbands will in
lieu of dover and she has accepted
such provision as substitute for dow
er In either of these three cases, the
estate passes to her husbands heirs or
devises freed from all claims of dover.
I'm most states the law was that
a widows dover interest attached to
all the real estate held in fee of which
her husband was seized during mar
riage unless she had released her in
choate dover interest during his life
time. The difference in our law as to
dover is the reason that in this state
a woman never has to join with her
husband in conveyance to his real
estate.
Pending the settlement of her hus-
bands estate, the widow, if not pos

to an allowance for her support
as adjudged reasonable by the probate
court.
After dover has been set out to
her, the widow is obliged to maintain
and keep in repair the building, fences
and lands set out to her, being liable
to lose possession of the property if she
allows it to go to waste.

SIXTH REGIMENTS VICTORY.
1t Was Greater Than at First Reported
Will Have a Salutary Effect on
Similar RObber Bands.

WASHINGTON, July 34-The war de-
partment Sunday received from Gen.
Otis another dispatch giving addition
al particulars of the fight between
Capt. B. A. Byrne, with 20 men OF the
9Th infantry, and robber bands in
the island of Negroes. 1t shows that
the victory of the soldiers
was greater than that re-
ported in Gen. Otis's dis
patch of July 81 and that the loss suf-
fered by the robbers was considerably
larger than before stated. Much sat
isfaction is felt by Gen. Otis over the
results of this preliminary effort IN
dealing with this disturbing element
in the island and he reports it already
as having a salutary effect on other
bands infesting the locality.

NOTED AGNOSTIC'S REMAINS.
The Body of Robert &. Ingerson Lies on an
Improvised Bier in the Bedroom in
Which He Breathed His Last.

NEW YORK, July 24-The body of
Robert G. Ingersoll lay on an impro-
rvised bier Sunday in the bedroom in
which he died at the home of Walston
II. Brown, his son-in-law, in Dobbs
Ferry. Many men of all sorts and
conditions, but mostly humble toilers,
made the pilgrimage to Dobbs Ferry
in the hope that they might be per-
noted agnostic. In no instance was
the request refused. No arrangements
whatever have yet been made concern
ing the funeral. Mrs. Ingersoll and
her daughters, Mrs. Brown and Miss
Maude Ingersoll, are still too much
overcome with sorrow to consider the
matter.
''They can not tear themselves from
the beloved dead" said Mr.. Farrell
Sunday night. They have not left the
chamber since he passed away, except
to go into an adjoining room when visi-
tors who wished to see him called.
They can not reconcile themselves to
he idea that they must part with him
and all illusions to the removal of the
body only cause distressing outbursts
of grief 1t may be a few days before
they are calm enough to discuss the
steps that necessarily soon must be
taken for the removal of the body"

The John S. Lindsay Dramatic
Company is Stranded.
PLAYED TO SMALL HOUSES
And an Employe Got Away With Inc
Receip!s--Deserves Better
Treatment.

The John Lindsay co''p"A''
which has just completed an engagement.
at the Grand opera house, is IN nnahclaA
distress and is stranded in this city
without the wherewithal to continue us
itinerary. This unhappy condition OF
affairs is the result of lack of business
in Butte, and too much confidence IN a
temporary employee, who managed to get
away with the company's share of the
receipts. The circumstances in which
the gifted actor finds himself will be the
occasion of much regret among Mr..
Lindsay's friends, whose talents entltle
him to a more lucrative business, and
better treatment.
Mr.. Lindsay called at police h%eadquar-
tiers last night and wanted a Warrant
issued for the arrest OF n Roy ~.
Elvers, whom the actor charges with
having misappropriated the n OF the
Mr.. Lindsay said that on a
former occasion he employed Elvers as
advance agent, and as he evinced a dis
position to pose as a theatrical man ana
wreak havoc among the feminine hearts
of the towns visited and was very much
disinclined to post the necessary bills,
and do the work Of an advance man, he
was compelled to discharge him. When
the actor arrived in Butte a few days
ago he was surprised to meet his old
time mai ElVers. The TWO
readily made up their differences of long
ago, and became good friends again. The
show opened Sunday night and Mr.. Lind
say needed a financial representative to
stand at the door. He asked Elvers to
do this work for him and to check up
with the management after the show,
and draw the company's percentage Of
the receipts. This he did turning the
money over to Mr.. Lindsay. Monday
night he performed the same duty, and
received $36 as Mr.. Lindsay's share, but
on receiving the money he disappeared
and Mr.. Lindsay was not able to see him.
He asked Captain Leyden to arrest
Elvers, but the captain advised Lindsay
to swear out a warrant for Elvers arrest,
but up to a late hour this afternoon this
had not been DONE.
Elvers claims that the money is due
him for salary, which in the old days was
not paid him., n he was simply taking
extreme measures to collect what was
due him.

THE COPPER MARKET.

Engineering & Mining Journal: The

facturers continue to be very busy, but
are not inclined, at least not at present
to anticipate their wants, preferring to
await developments. Although produc.

any great anxiety to make further sales
there is a disposition on the part of some
CT them to do SO. and the result has been
that values have receded somewhat, and
especially must that be said of AXE cop
per. On account of the extremely high
prices which Lake has commanded during
the last few months, as compared with
other kinds, there has been no demand for

are in the habit of substituting other
sorts when Lake cannot be obtained at
from k@Ac.. above electrolytic. The re-
suit of this has been that while a few
weeks ago Lake was very scarce, the
supplies are now becoming adequate to
the demand and we understand 1Shc.,
