AN anti-bandit attachment is COM

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribu ne
reports that on all the new engines OF
the Denver aud Rio Grande rail way
are iron pipes extending along the
roof of the cab aud connecting with
the boiler. Through these pipes, with
out making perceptibls motion,
either the engineer or fireman can
send, under 200 pounds pressure, d
jet of steam and boiling water that
would effectually cook any living
thing that happened to be on the ten
der or the front end OF the baggage
car. The diameter of the pipe is one
and half inches, and single second
would drop any man who tried to stand
before it in action. The steam leaves
the pipe at q temperature OF about $50
degrees, hot enough to have the
toughest OF outlaws cooked by the time
the train could be brought to stand
still. Is is hoped that this will quell
the ardOr of robbers who make spe-
cisity OF holding up engineers from the
tender. Some one should now invent a
steam squirt gun for the trainhands

IT is a singular fact that metals get
tired as well as living beings. Tele-
graph wires are better conductors on
Monday than on Saturday, on account
o! their Sunday rest. and q rest OF
three weeks adds 10 per cent to the
conductivlty of wire. LOGON olives,
too. require rest. So do printers
sticks, which accounts for the pheno-
menon Of the printers taking "a day
off" once or twice a year.

DEGENERACY OF THE STAGE

TRIED FOR WANsLiUGH1ER.
Rochester Park Policeman Shoots a Young
Man Outside His Jurisdlction.

ROCHESTER,. Jan. l3,-Wiiliam II. Davenport.
one OF the park police men OF Rochester. has
been on trial Tor more than a week on a charge
OF mnnslaughter. On June 3 he shot and
fatally wounded Frederick b.. Prince. near
Gencsee Valley Park. He was indicted for
granddaughter in the second degree. The
District Attorney contended that Davenport
was outside his jurisdiction when he
fred the shot, and that he had no Iusti-
ication for firing. as assault In tho second de-
gree had not been committed. 1t was shown
that Prince had only pulled a young man by
the name OF Goldstein from his wheel. The
court charged that Davenport was outside his
Jurisdiction. that assault in the third degree
WAS the only crime com mitted by Prince. and
that consequently the shooting was not lusti-
liable. The question as TO whether or not 1t
was cxcusable was left TO the jury to decide.
At noon to-day, after having been out
twenty-four hours the Jury reported that they
could not agree and was discharged. The case
will probably result in giving the rark police
the same jurisdiction as the regular city police
instead OF having their jurisdiction restricted
to the parks aud the approaches hereto.
