Thawing by Electricity.

Waukegan, like many other Illinois
cities, is having trouble with frozen
water pipes as result of the unusu-
ally severe winter through which we
have passed. but the city mentioned
has adopted a new and interesting
method of thawing out the pipes.
City water mains six inches in dame
ter and sOlidlv frozen are being
thawed out by the electrical process.
which has proved so efficient with the
smaller pipes. As employed there
the method is to connect the wires
with private connections 100 feet or
so apart. so the electricity will ira
verse the main. With a current OF
30 volts and 200 amperes, 100 feet of
main was thawed in three hours, and
later 200 feet in two hours and half.

NUPT|AL KNOT HOLDS
Jud ge Gest Refuses to Annul Mrs.
McDermott-C Chandler Mar
rage Contract.
sUsTAINs DEMURRER OF DEFENSE.

Court Holds That Complainant's Bill Shows
Trickery on the Par: of Drost, But Facts
Are Not Sufficient to Warrant InvaI-
dating of the Matrimonial Alliance
Other Cases Disposed of.
Judge W. II. Gest, in the circuit
court this morning, sustained the de-
murrer of the defense in the case of
Anna Northumberland vs.. Daniel
Drost and Matthias Schnell, holding
that the facts set up in the bill of the
complainant, while showing trickery
played by Drost upon the complain
ant, were not sufficient to annul the
marriage contract existing betw cen
her and Drost, who welded her
under the name of Daniel Chand-
Ter. the latter having followed her
TO Omaha, she alleged. at the in
stigation of Schnell, and married her
and succeeded in inducing her to can
eel the suit she had begun in the cir
cult court here to recover $50, 600 for
breach of promise from Schnell.
Judge Gest's ruling practically dis
misses Mrs. McDermoit's entire bill.
although the opinion ONLY covers that
portion of it relating to her marriage
with Drost. which she asked to be dis
solved, and the release pertaining to
her breach of promise case cancelled.
The cOmplsinant's attorneys, c. j.
Searle. Sweeney X Walker and \. z.
McGuirk, were. however, given leave
To further amend their bill, but il is
probable their next move will be in

AN OFFICER ASSAULTED.
Deputy Constable Jacob Gilman
Roughly Handled by Friends of
John Epps, Colored, Whom
He Had in Custody.

4 prisoner being conveyed to the
county Jail last night, assisted by a
number of his friends. escaped from
the custody of Deputy Constable Ja-
cob Gilman after making a murderous
assault upon the latter and up to the
time of going to press had not be re-
taken.
The prisoner was a large. powerful
ly-built colored man, John Epps by
name, and was arrested yesterday
about o'clock on a warrant sworn
out by Annie Rosencrantz, charging
him with aggravated assault and bat
terry. He was brought before Alder
man John p. Kelly, of the Eighteenth
ward. and was committed to the coun-
ty Jail in default of $500 bail.
He was handcuffered by Constable
Gilman. who left the alderman's office
with him and started to walk to the
county Jail. A party of Epp's colored
friends who, the constable says, num-
bered at least ten, followed the two
at a distance. When the constable
and his charge reached that portion
of Bridge street just underneath the
railroad bridge the friends of Epps
closed in on the Unstable and before
he was aware of their intention one
of them dealt him terrific blow on
the eye with some sort of a weapon,
knocking him down.
Epps took advantage OF the con-
stables plight and started off hand
cuffed, as he was, in the direction OF
South Scranton. Gilman sprang to
his feet and dealt the man who had
struck him blow over the head with
his club, splitting the latter into two
pieces.
Another of the gang then plunged
a knife into his arm and made an at
tempt to stab him in the neck also.
the weapon glancing off and only in
flicting a slight flesh wound. Ell
mans cries had attracted a crowd and
the men all scampered away in the
direction taken by Epps.
: Gilman says he drew his revolver
but did not have sufficient power in
his hand, on account of the cut in his
arm, to use It. He was taken in a
cab to the office of DR.. Henry Halpert
who dressed his injuries. The wound
over the eye required several stitches,
but the one on the arm was not OF
such a serious nature. Gilman, had
a very narrow escape, however, for
had the knife plunged into his neck
fatal consequences would have un-
doubtedly ensued.
The police department have been
notified to be on the lookout for Epps,
who is said to be the blackest colored
man In town. He will have a very
hard time in removing the handouts,
which were of the very best steel.
