CITY OWES A FIREMAN.
1894, 633 Due For Patent Infringe
ment-He Was Ready to Take
$4,000 Once.

New York, May 24.-The report of Geo.
E. Howard, special master, in a suit
brought against the city by William A.
Brickfll and other owners of a patented
feed water heater for steam fire engines,
to recover money saved to the city by the
use of that apparatus, was filed in the
United States circuit court yesterday. The
master awards to the compliments 1884,
633, of which 1884, 716 is interest. Between
August, 1868, and August, 1885, 21O of the
feed water heaters patented by the COM
pIa1nant were used in this city without
the plaintiffs permission, and the award
is the amount of gains, profits, savings,
and advantages which have accrued from
such unlawful use"
Brfckill was formerly a foreman in the
fire department About 1868 he perfected
an apparatus which the fire commission
erS subsequently, adopted, by which steam
at a pressure of fifteen or twenty pounds
could be kept in fire engines without a
fire under the boiler. The apparatus con-
sists of a detachable coil of pipes heated
CINE can respond to an alarm without
the necessity of starting a fire under its
boiler until it has been ascertained
whether or not the alarm was a false
one.
The saving to the city on all such
alarms has been taken into account by
the master, and was found to be 40 cents
rived at after elaborate calculation
and the report is consequently exceeding
ly voluminous. In 1870 Brickill offered to
settle with the city for $50, Co., giving all
rights in the patent and waving all claims
Tor infringement. He got a decree in 1880.

FIFTEEN MEN WHIPPED.
Unusual Number of Petty Offend ers
Punished Publicly at New
castle, Del

Wilmington, Del. May 24.-Fffteen men
were publicly whipped at the Newcastle
Jail yard today, and two of the number
also stood one hour in the pillory. This
is the greatest number of whippings on
one day for many years. About 100 spec
tators were present, including officials of
Pennsylvania penal institutions and num-
erous women, attracted out of curiosity.
The culprits whipped stood at the posts
with barred backs, while Sheriff Taylor
piled the cato -nine-tails. 1t took just
twenty-eight minutes to fog all. The
prisoners backs We're streaked with welts
where the rawhide thongs struck. No
blood was drawn.
Harry Harding had a wholesome dread
of the punishment, and when he was fas-
tened to the post he cried, Lightly. sher-
iffi" After the lash laid the same
spot several times he squirmed vigorous
ly. and cried, Chase 'em around. sher-
ifi" Henry Hilton received twenty sting
ing strokes, and was placed in the pillory
for hour. but being released he at
tempted assault the warden. but was
overpowered. John Green had fear of
the ,'cat" and winked and grinned at each
stroke. All the offenders chastised were
convicted of petty larceny and seemed
humiliated at their ordeal before the pub
lie gaze.

constituency. His hold upon the dis
trict was not firm. Yet he unaccount-
ably received the presidential nominal
ton, when the tariff policy, pushed to
an extreme, had caused us to lose the
administration and many of our states.
AS Mckinley was -expansionist on
the tariff, he became an eXpanS1OnlSt
against the views he declared to us in
the matter of these distant possessions.
And still his purposes are not clear or
Discriminate, and suppose, as you
say, that the great activity in business
and the forming of trusts has dropped
the public attention from the far-reach-
ing consequences of these AMENDED ana
still vague purposes of Mr.. Mckinley
One result is that our public news is
nearly all about foreign and far-away
countries. The military spirit is grow
ing in time of absolute peace at home,
and after our bravery is perfectly I'M
derstood and approved. There is Ger
many, shut inland from any ocean and
with a large standing army, made nee
essary- by European jea1ousies which
she can employ in these ud-bit places
without increasing her expenses ma
terially.
WHERE WE CANNOT BE BEATEN.
I'VE have a firm and long outlet on
both ocean coasts, and are impregna-
bic from attack, and our commerce and
trade should be eXerted from our own
base, and not from distant bases, where
we shall have to spend the money we
would spend upon our own ports, forts
and rising cities. The whole complexion
of our republic has been violently al
tered by chasing up these brief minor
successes of our fleets. Home questions
are mixed with Malay and South Amer
lean questions. The president had it
in his hands to prescribe to the people
a brief war and solid peace, but he
has let these dribbleS of conquest be-
come, to some extent, the policy of his
party, and it does not look to me like
ffrmness of purpose, but like scattering
and being carried away.
A REA CTION WILL. COME
"Our India is not down in the Philip
pines, but out in the Pacific states.
After I left the cabinet I went up to
Alaska and beheld our achievement and
a great deal of money on the long rail-
roads leading toward Asia. There we
have a firm front toward China The
Nicaragua canal would put New York
and New Orleans in intimate shipping
relations with our long Pacific coast
line. We should not have to send YES
sells and pay tolls through the Suez
canal or around Cape Horn.
This country has probably 1000 900
of people. which is twice the popula-
ton of the British kingdoms and twice
the population of France. and still we
have plenty of land. 1 do not believe
that our past presidents who have seen
this country come to its matured form
and communications would fly off to
conquer the Philippine islanders. OF
course, our president is supported by
many patriotic men. but the time will
be when reaction will set in, and it may
affect the long destinies of our party
which has resisted conquests in Mexico
Cuba and elsewhere. We are making
ourselves inconsistent for nothing that
will justify the inconsistence.'

THE QUICk-FIRING CRAZE.
[From the London Globe.1

From the London Globe
The Austrian press, including even
the military journal "Reichswehr' has
been giving prominence to the alleged
invention Of a remarka Bile quick firing
rifle. This truly wonderful weapon will,
in the hands of a trained soldier"
emit no fewer than 200 bullets an hour
or As in one minute. Thus in an en-
gagement which lasted several hours
each soldier could loose off a caftload
of ammunition, if he had it at his ell
bow; and an army of $4,000 men-a
mere handful of men as Continental
armies go-would require $4,000 cart
loads with the firing line in one serious
engagement. For a campaign of inVa-
sion each soldier would require to be
followed by magazine; and shell
exploding in a company would produce
many devastating explosions as
there We're men. If, on the other hand,
each soldier marched with, say, his own
200 rounds, he could fire them all off in
less than five minutes, and be left with
out ammunition for the rest of the en-
ga cement.
Such considerations are. of course,
extreme; but they show that the IRE
ductio ad absurdum' of quick-firing
rifles is easily reached. Even now the
difficulty is to get enough ammunition
to the firing line and to keep control
of the fire. If rapidity of fire is much
increased without some entirely new
method of bringing up ammunition, the
occasional advantage of being able to
pour in a deadly hail of bullets for a
minute of two will be dearly purchased
at the cost of whole brigades perhaps
being rendered 'horS de combat for
want of ammunition at the beginning
of a fight. What applies to rife fire
applies also to artillery; and the armies
which have been in hurry to arm
themselves with so-called quick firing
artillery before the machinery was per-
feet or the ammunition problem solved
may find themselves in a worse guam
dairy than if they had retained their old
weapons.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT
Will Be Used to Take Pictures of the
Big Fight.

New York, May 24-Bil1y Brady and
Martin Julian have practically accepted
the offer of a kaleidoscope company to
take pictures of the Fitzsimmons-Jef-
fries battle if decided at the Coney ISL
and club on June 9. The danger of
postponing the mill to suit weather
conditions has been averted. The XII
Microscope company proposes to take pic
lures of the fight with the aid of arti-
fetal light, and the roof will not have
to be taken off unless something unex-
pected occurs.
The interior of the building will be
renovated for the fight, and many of
the reserved seats will be turned into
boxes. Owing to the great demand for
choice seats it has been found necessary
to reserve the bleachers on either side
of the ring for boxes.
Billy Brady today said that any per-
son buying a seat reserved can rest as
sured that it will be kept for him. This
system only refers to the reserved seats.
The prices have been fixed by Brady at
SIS, SO, SIS, $50 and S25. 1t will cost
IS to get into the clubhouse. These
pasteboards will not be on sale until the
day of the encounter. Seats in the
boxes have been placed at 500 and $25.
