INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan 25--When

ers Of America opened this morning. il
wss understood that some time during
the day the controversy over compelling
engineers. bremen. and biacksmiths eG1-
pIoyed about mines 10 join the miners
union would come Up. \ lively fight was
anticipated. These crafts insist that they
be allowed to remain IN their respective
International unions, but the miuera say
it is embarrassing for more than one
general union TO have jurisdiction over
the empIoyes in the mines. They say it
IS possible for a few blacksmiths or en-
gineers to go on strike and thereby throw
hundreds of miners out of work, when
perhaps their grievance is not just.
The leading miners declared this morn
ing that these workTnen viii ultimately
be compelled TO come into their union,
as methods viii be employed which viii
whip them into compliance with he de-
mand.
The rapid growth of the miners organi-

NICOLA TEsLA's NEW LAMP.
A Remarkable IlIuminatOr Said to
Have Been Perfected.


NEW YORK. Jan 25.-NicoIa Tesla has
at last perfected his new system Of cleo
t-ic lighting-dayiight illumination, it
may be caued-and he hopes to have it
soon introduced into general use. The
lamp may be described as . nest of glass
tubes. bent in rectangular form.
Each lamp has about twenty feet of the
V bite flaming tubes. Into this square coil
OF hollow glass Of the diameter of ones
finger electricity is sent quiyering from
Tesla's oscilIator Tesla's osciIlator
causes electrical ribratioEs Of inccnceiv-
able speed. These vibrations turn the
etonIs OF tie gases in tubes into as it
we're. little comets. which shoot through
tho enclosed space with tremendous "a
pidily. leaving trains Of light behind
This sudden starting and stopping OF
the current produces continuous light,
neither OF the incandescent nor OF the
are light character. but purely solar In
ether words. each lamp is j little sun
The Tesla lamp is not like any Of the
known lights in use. 1t seems only a
bunch OF icy crystals glowing on the
ceiling at midday. But remove them and
all light mas vanished

SUING ON OLD NOTES.
w. j. Ray Plaintiff in Suit Against
Estate of James Ray.

The suit of w. ]. Ray against Mar
garet Ray, Administrative of the estate
of James Ray, was on trial in the City
Court yesterday, before Judge Nor
wood and a jury. The plaintiff sues to
recover $1,440. besides interest, on GER
tain promissory notes, on which the
name of James Ray appears as an in
dorser.
1t is the contention of the defendant
that the notes were redelivered to her
intestate, James Ray, and that they
were afterwards wrongfully obtained
from his safe by the plaintiff. The
notes were dated from 1892 to 1895, but
the Endorsements are claimed to bear
date in 1896. The plaintiff swore that
he had rendered services which formed
the consideration for the notes, and
that the Endorsement of James Ray
had been for value received.
Osborne & Lawrence appeared for
the plaintiff and Saussy & Saussy and
O'Connor, O'Byrne & Hartridge for the
defendant. The arguments of counsel
were concluded last evening, and re-
cess taken until this morning, when
Judge Norwood will charge the jury.
