The high-speed electric traction tests
now being made under government su.
pervision on the military line between
Berlin and Zcssen have already proved
successful, a speed of ninety miles an
hour having been attained, while the
engineers expect to run at $50 miles
an hour before the tests are finished.
The fast runs are all made on a stretch
of track a little more than fourteen
miles in length. It is a standard gauge
track, level, and nearly straight. Dur
ing the summer the entire track was
relaid and the roadbed put into perfect
condition for the tests. Power is
taken from a series of three overhead
trolley wires. which are arranged in an
unusual manner at one side Of the
track. The cars used in the tests were
also especially built for the work, and
have been fitted up with electrical APP

gate nearly 100, OO0, 900 bushels. There
has lately been formed in Paris an

which is to control the price of wheat

A new device for applying motive
power to small boats has recently been
patented by a French firm, which also
holds patents in all civilized coun-

and quickly applied to any boat, with

located at the bottom of a cylindrical
shaft, about which it re~volves, so that
it may be worked in any direction.
Thus by simply moving a lever the
whole power of the screw may be re-
versed and the boat stopped in an in
slant. With the screw a naphtha or
gasoline motor is used.

LamOiiie County Court,

The case of State VS.. Philip Peterie
occupied the attention of Court three
days before it was given to the Jury.
Although the charge on which
he was tried was simple assault,
great fight was put up by both
the prosecution and the defense.
There was an array of witnesses
from far and near, expert med
ical testimony was given as we'll as
evidence from those who knew
Peterie at Johnson. Peterie himself
was on the stand a long time and
gave evidence as to what produced
the insanity which led him to at
tempt to kill his wife. States Attor-
ney Cheney and his associate, George
M. Powers, made strong arguments
for the State, and F. W. McGettrick
made a powerful plea for his client.
The case went to the Jury Friday
morning and that body in charge of
Francis White hung together until
three p. m. Saturday, when they re-
ported they could not agree and so
were discharged 1t is said they
stood eight to four for conviction.
The result is certainly a surprise to
many, as public opinion was that
the respondent was guilty.
