BURNED AT THE ESTAKE.
Negroes Assisted In the Work of Kill ing One of Their Own Color.

AS5ASlC0
 ing One of Their Own Color.
 Birmingham, Ala, Aug 8.-John Wes- ley Pennington, a negro. was burned at the stake near Enterprise, Ala, before a crowd of 800 citizens of Coffee coun- ty. The assemblage was composed of both whites and blacks, and though the wretch pleaded for mercy and en- deayored to break the chains that bound him, not trace of sympathy, it is said, was shown on the faces of the onlookers. Pennington had com mitted brutal assault upon Mrs J. c. Davis, the wife of a farmer, and he had confessed his guilt The crime was committed yesterday afternoon while Mrs Davis was gathering vege- tables in her garden. Pennington choked her into insensibility. After ward he fled to the woods.
 As soon as she regained her senses Mrs Davis. crawled to the house and told her husband what had happened. A large posse was quickly organized and with bloodhounds they chased the negro until early in the morning when he was captured in swamp. Pen IliuSlOH WdS UOuIlu Htuu Suu lOOI dHei taken back to the Davis home for identification. News Of the assault of Mrs Davis had been sent by runners for miles around Enterprise and every farmer in the neighborhood had left his plough to join i'll the search.
 The frightened brute was limp and had to be supported while the chains were fastened around his neck and body. When all was ready the cry was given and the crowd stood back. A match was then supplied to the pile. The terrified negro pleaded for mercy in the most agonizing tones and prayed to God that those around him might perish. He then called upon his Maker for forgiveness. and as the flames leaped up and encircled his neck an unearthly shriell was heard and the mans eyes almost bulged out of the sockets. When he had been burned to death the crowd dispersed.

DANNY MAYER HEARD FROM.
Says That He is Only Taking a Much
 Needed Rest

Hartford, Aug 8.-The London dis patch in yesterdays papers, relative to the illness of Danny Maher was the talk among his friends during the day, and many of them called upon his father to extend their sympathy. MT Maher had received letter from the young jockey only a few days before, in which he had mentioned his excel- lent health. During the afternoon the father received the following cable, which he took pleasure in showing to sympathizing friends:
 New Market. Aug ', 1901. P. H. Maher,
 IS Westland street,
 Hartford, Conn.
 Not i'll; taking a rest for week.
 DAN. A letter will undoubtedly soon fol- low this cablegram, explaining the sit uation more fully. Meantime it was thoughtful in the young man to allay the fears of his parents.

Emile Berliner's Microphone Attach
ment Held by Judge Brown, at
Boston, to BE NOnpatentable.
VICTORY FOR INDEPENDENTS
HUNDREDS OF TELEPHONE COM
PANIES INTERESTED.
Statement by Judge n. s. Taylor, OF
Fort Wayne, Who Represented the
Independents in the Suit.

BOSTON, Mass. Feb. 27-Judge Brown.
of the United States Circuit Court, has de-
cided against the American Bell Telephone
Company in the famous Berliner patent
case. The suits were the Bell Company
against the National Telephone Manufac-
turing Company and same against the Cen
fury Telephone Company, brought to re-
strain respondents from selling, using or
making telephones or telephone apparatus
with the microphone attachment, and to
account to the Bell Company for the past
use, manufacture and sales, on the ground
that such use, manufacture or sale was
an infringement of patent. The cases were
argued before Judge Brown year and a
half ago, and as they related TO the same
patent-the microphone-were put in to-
gether and were tried as if they were one
case.
The Berliner patent is considered one OF
the most important held by the Bell Com
pany, and does not expire until Nov. IL,
1905. The patent is the same one that has
been before the courts of the United States
VS.. the Bell Telephone, where it was held
that the patent was not invalid on account
of delay at the Patent Office. The whole
case turns upon the validity of this patent,
the defense setting up. among other things,
invention. anticipation and nonpatentabil-
ity. 1t is understood an appeal will be made
from the decision and ii will be carried TO
the Supreme Court upon this appeal.

Counsel for the independents" Dis
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Feb. 27-Judge r.
S. Taylor who represented the independ-
ent telephone companies in the litigation
against the Bell Company, to-day gave
out the following statement concerning the
case:
1.-The decision made in Boston to-day is
in two suits brought by the Bell Telephone
ers of telephones upon patent granted IN
Emile Berliner Nov. II. 1891 The patent
covers in the broadcast terms what is
known as the microphone-a form of tele-
phone transnlitter in universal use. 1t diff
fers from the form of transmitter invented
by Bell and described in his patent or 1876
and in an improved form In his patent OF
1877. The microphone was introduced into
use as the invention of Thomas A. Edison
in 1878. During that year an interference
in the patent office to which there were a
great number of parties disclosed the fact
that Emile Berlner had in the office an
APPLICATION filed in June, 1877, which, by
suitable alteration and expansion, could
be made to cover the idea OF microphone.
The Bell Company bought the application;
changed il so TO make it describe the mi
crophone; then kept IL in the Patent Office
until 1891, when it took out the present pat
ent do not know of any successful trans
mitter in use which does not come within
the terms or TINS patent III does not expire
until 1908. The hope of the Bell Company
has been to perpetuate it's monopoly by
means of this patent. 1t is undoubtedly
being infringed by hundreds of thousands
of telephones in daily use in independent
exchanges. If the patent had been sus-
tanned the CONSERVATION and confusion
which would have been created would have
been without precedent in the history of the
country. OF course, the defendants would
have appealed. and 1t would have been a
year or more before the final decision could
| have been had in the Court of Appeals in
that circuit. and then the question would
have been open to litigation in the other
| circuits, so that the Independent companies
would not have been prepared to give UP,
even if they had lost this case on this trial;
| but it would have been a great setback to
| them beyond all doubt. l am advised by
| my associates that the opinion of the court
sustains the first, second third, fourth
| and fifth defenses completely Such a de-
cision destroys the patent root and
| branch"

REVIVAL IN METHcDISM.


KENOSHA, Wis, Feb. 27.-Willis w.
Cooper. corresponding secretary of the
twentieth century forward movement OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church. has made
public his first general summary of the
work done in the different churches of the
denomination since the movement was
started. on Aug of last year.
The result of six months of work, II Is
stated, shows that 'Methodism is enjoying
the greatest revival of the genera tion," and
the watch cry of the movement, Two mil
lion souls for Christ and $40. 000 GO for mis-
sions," IL is said, bids fair TO be realized
Mr.. Cooper says that ii is evident that al
least 100000 converts viii be added TO the
Methodist Church the first year. Mr.. Cooper
has not made statement of the amount
of money raised for the purpose of spread
ing the doctrines OF the church in the mis-
